Chapter 168 Summoning
"You are building a level 3 county city. Warning, the current terrain is not suitable for building a level 3 county city. If you force the construction, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
…
A piece of information popped up, and Zhang Yang was not surprised at all. How big was the stone mountain under his feet? Could it accommodate a level 3 county city? In fact, there was no terrain suitable for building a level 3 county city within a radius of several hundred miles.
The so-called high mountains, dense forests, deep waters and wild grass refer to this place. Even the Mirage Clan demons are too lazy to come here on weekdays.
It is conceivable that the cost of building a level 3 county town here would be at least ten times that of other places.
But what can we do in this situation? "Let's build it here, but I need a professional before that."
Zhang Yang opened the village construction order and clicked on the summon option.
This is one of the rewards he received after exceeding the fantasy village construction task. It allows him to summon ten outstanding people in the 2,200-year history of village civilization development, including but not limited to emperors, generals, counselors, craftsmen, etc.
And now what Zhang Yang wants to summon is the craftsmen.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, a row of names automatically appeared in the village construction order. These were all the most outstanding craftsmen in history.
"It's you."
Zhang Yang selected a name, Zhaozhou, the great-grandson of Zhao Tiezhu, a legendary master craftsman with extremely powerful attributes and skills.

He is a very awesome person, and this is Zhang Yang’s greatest advantage.
"Zhaozhou greets the lord."
A white light flashed, and then an energetic and strong old man appeared in front of Zhang Yang. This age was the peak of his skills.
"Great, Wude Zhao - never mind, you have to find a way to build this level 3 county city for me. No, build a granary first, a super-large granary, the sooner the better!"
Zhang Yang wanted to say something pretentious, but after thinking about it, he decided not to because it was unnecessary. The loyalty of the summoned old man Zhaozhou was already at the maximum.
However, Zhaozhou did not make a promise directly or bury his head in work. Instead, he looked around for a moment on the top of the mountain, then looked at the mountains of food and supplies in the valley, then turned around and paid his respects to Zhang Yang again.
"Congratulations, my lord, for finding an unformed dragon vein."
"Well--"
Zhang Yang was very surprised. I asked you to build a city and a granary for me, not to look at Feng Shui for me. No, what Feng Shui can an old man like you know? And he didn't believe that a random broken ravine was an unformed dragon vein. Are you kidding? Even the European Emperor is not so awesome!
"Zhaozhou, our most important task right now is to build a city and a granary. We can talk about the dragon vein later."
"My lord, you are wrong!"
Who would have thought that old man Zhaozhou was so stubborn and had a square look on his face. Hey, did you get into the wrong business?
"My lord, are you doubting my ability? The art of construction involves opening mountains and breaking terrain, blocking water and moving things. Every detail is very important. If it were an ordinary craftsman, he would naturally be ignorant and fearless. However, I have been immersed in this art for decades. I dare not say that I have reached the pinnacle, but I can be considered to have some experience."
"The unformed dragon vein I just mentioned is not a rare thing. It refers to a place where mountains and rivers are naturally formed, uncarved and unpolished, like a rough jade. This kind of topography is generally called an invisible dragon vein. In short, we only need to build a city according to the pattern of this place and suppress it with royal energy. Over time, it will become a dragon vein. By then, the dragon vein will protect the city and the mountains and rivers will nourish the energy. Within ten generations, there will definitely be many outstanding people."
"Therefore, I beg you, my lord, not to focus on the food and supplies in the valley, and not to ruin the feng shui of this place for these mundane things."
As soon as Zhaozhou finished speaking, a line of information popped up in front of Zhang Yang's eyes.
"The level 3 county city you are building will automatically increase in level by 1 due to the joining of a legendary craftsman. At the same time, the Dragon Vein City Building quest will be triggered. This quest will consume 10 points of royal energy. Do you accept it?"
"accept."
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate this time.
Zhaozhou then said, "My lord, are you sure you want to build a county city? Be careful of weak trunks and strong branches. Forgive me for being frank. Although I have not been able to travel all over the world in the past few decades, I have encountered many Feng Shui dragon veins that are like unpolished jade. There is only one example that can be built into a dragon vein to protect the city."
"My Lord, you have ambitions for the world, but you may not have the time, opportunity, or conditions to build a better royal city than this place in the future. If the royal city is not here, over time, it will be impossible to suppress the rebellion, and the world will be in chaos. Therefore, all cities in the world that are protected by dragon veins are royal cities. If other cities dare to build dragon veins to protect them, they must be plotting rebellion."
Zhang Yang was stunned by Zhaozhou's deception, because he had never thought of building his own royal city in such a remote and inaccessible place, and in his opinion, the construction of the royal city could be postponed for a long time.
But what Zhaozhou said seems to make sense.
"How many levels of royal city can you build?"
"Since it is a dragon vein city, it must be built to the best and most perfect level at one time. The thing I regret most is that I built a level 5 royal city. Although it is already an unparalleled royal city in the world, it still has loopholes. If these loopholes are known by someone with ulterior motives one day, it will surely cause disaster."
Zhaozhou spoke with great sorrow, and Zhang Yang's opinion changed immediately. That's right. If a level 6 royal city could have been built back then, it would have been impossible for that evil woman to bewitch the emperor twice in a row, ultimately preventing him from making any further progress in his village building mission.
"It's a must. It must be level 6. What are the requirements?"
Zhang Yang asked, he was completely convinced at this moment.
"Thank you, lord. To build a level 6 royal city, we need to be fast, stable, and keep it secret. Therefore, the materials in this valley should be enough to build a level 6 royal city. In addition, I also need 1,000 senior craftsmen and 2,000 captain-level soldiers. With 3,000 people, we should be able to complete the initial construction within a year."
"3,000? You want 3,000 people?"
Zhang Yang's voice changed. He had planned to treat the 5,000 people in the village construction order as his battle-hardened extraordinary soldiers, but this old man simply cut more than half of them in half.
"Yes, my lord, we need 3,000 men."
Zhaozhou was very determined.
Zhang Yang was silent for a long time. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you 3,000 men."
"Thank you, lord. If this fails, please cut off Zhaozhou's head."
Zhaozhou took the order and left, full of energy and vigor, like a commander. After 1,000 senior craftsmen and 2,000 captain-level soldiers were recruited, he gave orders to them one by one, with clear order and proper rhythm.
Only Zhang Yang was feeling depressed.
Population, population is a big problem.
If he was in the Great Wei Dynasty, it would be easy to get civilian population, but this is the hinterland of the Abyss Demon Clan, where can he get civilian population? Moreover, since he decided to build a city here, he must start preparing the army to prevent the attack of the demon clan.
"Then summon another famous general!"
Zhang Yang opened the village construction order again. In the 2200-year-old village civilization, there are still many capable people who can command troops. Even many monarchs and emperors are rare geniuses in commanding troops.
For example, his great-grandson Zhang Qian. Although this little bastard died young, he was quite good at strategy and tactics. If he hadn't been cursed by the Dragon Crossing the River while leading troops abroad, it would be hard to say what his future would have been like.
Then Wu Yuan's grandson, Wu Lei, a king-level talent and also a very powerful general, usurped the throne.
And his son Wu Ya was even more powerful. He was the second Stone King. The current territory of the Great Wei Dynasty was not even one-third of the territory conquered by Wu Ya.
Then, Zhang Yang's great-great-grandson was not the one from his adopted son Zhang Wenyuan, but Zhang Yang's real great-great-grandson Zhang Liang. He was also a remarkable guy, ruthless, decisive and straightforward, and his way of governing the country was impeccable.
There is also Lei Ming, the grandson of Ryan, Duan Jiusi, the descendant of Duan Kuan, and even the current Wei Dynasty, which has many famous generals.
"Let's choose Wu Lei first. This guy is relatively good at defense and is very shrewd, much like Sima Yi. His son Wu Ya is a must-summon. With these two generations of Stone Kings, my royal city is almost stable."
A white light flashed, and a tall man in his forties with one-third of Wu Yuan's charm appeared in front of Zhang Yang.
"Your Highness, I am honored to meet you, my Lord!"
Unlike Zhaozhou just now, Wu Lei knelt down to pay homage. In fact, Zhang Yang was also curious whether he knew his identity. However, this did not seem to be important.
"Get up, I'll give you 500 soldiers, you will be responsible for patrolling this forest for the time being." Zhang Yang said calmly. A king-level talent like Wu Lei must have room to play. Now he doesn't even have a city, how can he talk about defense? "My lord, I have something important to report!"
"Well, what's the matter?" Zhang Yang asked. Zhaozhou had just sent out 3,000 people to build a level 6 royal city. He wanted to see how Wu Lei would do it. "My lord, I just saw the forest and heard the roar of dragons and tigers. I also saw Zhaozhou busy. I know that you want to build a royal city here. Since it's a royal city, how can 500 soldiers be enough? I dare to recruit refugees. Within a year, I can definitely recruit 3,000 new soldiers for you!"
"What?"
Zhang Yang was stunned, and at the same time, a piece of information was reflected.
"A king-level commander has joined your camp, your army's morale has improved, you have gained the legion talent, good at defense, and recruitment, and at the same time triggered a branch recruitment task. This task requires the consumption of food and energy. Do you want to continue?"
Zhang Yang was overjoyed, and suddenly realized that summoning each of the ten historical figures would bring a side quest, which was a good thing.
"Wu Lei, how many refugees and new soldiers can you recruit?"
"My Lord, as long as we have food and money, we can have as much as you want."
"Well, recruit 10,000 refugees and 3,000 new soldiers."
Zhang Yang originally wanted to shout, "Recruit a million refugees for me," but unfortunately this was already the limit of the side quest.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Wu Lei walked over with big strides, and then disappeared into the air under Zhang Yang's gaze.
This is actually an officially permitted trial! At the same time, Zhang Yang's village construction order also directly deducted 100,000 tons of grain and 100,000 energy points.
"Well, Wu Lei is a bit of a thief, but he is still very useful."
Zhang Yang's mood suddenly improved, and he began to look forward to what side quests the remaining eight historical figures could bring him.
