It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts. This is because the snow water takes away the surface temperature. After the Ice City was abandoned, everyone moved back into the tents and felt it even more deeply.

Xiao Yuehua doesn't like to go to kindergarten now. She stays in bed all day and doesn't get up. Xiao Ping'an complains that it's too cold to go to school. Several classmates in the class have skipped classes.

Inside the commander's tent, Wang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Then let's take a break for a while. It's okay to start studying again after it gets a little warmer. Well, there will be two holidays in Qinghai in the future.

It can be set one month before and after snowfall, and two months before and after snowmelt. There is no immutable law in the world, especially when it comes to details, the best way is to adapt to local conditions. "

"That's right, sir."

Wu Yi nodded and wrote it down in his notebook with a quill pen.

Today is an enlarged meeting. Not only are people from Yuzhou participating, but many Tibetans are also coming.

"Thank you, Steward."

But when Wang Zheng said he wanted to build a big city, the situation was completely different. The Tibetans believed that this legendary God of Wealth could solve all their problems. They just had to perform well and wait for rewards.

We can move into the new city to spend the winter together. Although the Ice City is nice, it can’t last long. With a big city to live in, even if the weather gets worse, we’ll always have a place to stay.”

Wang Zheng nodded in satisfaction. "Not only big cities need to abide by these conditions, but even small cities and towns must choose their locations accordingly. Some natural disasters can be avoided."

Tell the craftsmen to look for coal mines throughout Qinghai. Now that the ice and snow have melted, it is the right time to mine. We have plenty of food anyway, so we can just wait until the heavy snow ends and then transport the food to various places.

Then Wang Zheng looked at the Tibetans and said, "The city is about to be built, and it is time for you to contribute. Let's work together and try to build the new city before the snow season comes.

The river here is relatively calm, so even if we use sheepskin rafts to build a floating bridge, it will not affect the crossing of the river. It is still very beneficial to set up a camp on the other side. "

Wang Zheng stood on the third city site, looked around and at the mountains across the river, and asked Wu Yi beside him: "If I build a city here now, where will Lu Dongzan choose to set up his camp when he attacks?"

If Wang Zheng is angered, there is no guarantee that he will not use high-pressure tactics. Instead of regretting it later, it is better to be happy now. At least you can please Wang Zheng.

Wu Yi replied: "According to your request, we will choose a place with a flat terrain within a radius of five miles, which is convenient for drainage, easy to dig wells, and can prevent landslides. The craftsmen have found three good places along the river and are waiting for your selection."

The morale of the Tibetans was very high, which made Wang Zheng very satisfied. As long as the people's hearts were useful, that was enough. After all, there was a huge difference in efficiency between forcing and taking the initiative.

There is no salary for the work, but meals are provided.

As for you, you can contribute money and materials, and send slaves to work. Then I will arrange houses for you according to your contribution. I will never let you suffer any loss."

Everyone in the world knows that as long as the steward is there, the people there will be able to live a good life. As long as they follow the steward, work hard and study seriously, they will definitely succeed, without exception.

After Wang Zheng finished reading all the data, he frowned and said, "We are still a little short of supplies, especially fuel. In the future, the amount of bricks we will use will be very large. Now that the ice and snow have melted, it will be difficult to transport them.

If someone said they wanted to build a big city on the grassland, these Tibetans would naturally sneer. Not to mention where the building materials would come from, even if you built the big city, it is still unclear whether anyone would be willing to move in.

Wang Zheng had long said that he wanted to build a big city along the river here. Now that spring has arrived, the mountains of supplies outside prove that Wang Zheng was not joking.

Wang Zheng continued, “As for the slaves, after the city is built, I hope you can give them freedom. In the future, whether they are farming, herding, or doing some business, they can always make a lot of money.

After lunch, Wang Zheng and Wu Yi, led by the craftsmen, went to select a city site.

The three places are similar, all of them are close to the river and backed by mountains. Only this kind of terrain can facilitate drainage and make it easy to dig wells. If they are not close to the mountains, it will be difficult to dig wells.

A big city means huge wealth. Not to mention anything else, the houses and shops in the city alone are worth a lot of money. The Tibetans looked at Wang Zheng eagerly.

If there are exceptions, it is not the steward's fault. It must be that you are too bad, so bad that even a steward like him cannot help you.

All the Tibetans present had happy expressions on their faces, which was just as they had expected. They would never suffer any loss if they followed the chief steward.

“Tell your clansmen that if a family sends one person to help build the city, they will be given a three-meter square house, including a shop on the first floor, a residence on the second floor, and an attic on the third floor.

Instead of using whips to drive slaves to work, which can't do much in a day, it's better to spend some money to hire people to do the work more efficiently. Moreover, if slaves continue to exist, there is no guarantee that one day you or your descendants will not become slaves. What do you think?"

Wu Yi looked at the surrounding environment, pondered for a moment and said: "If they are students, they will most likely choose to set up camp on the other side of the river. The other side is higher than our side, and they can have a panoramic view of the environment in the city.

"We are only following the orders of the chief steward!"

Although the Tibetans were somewhat reluctant, they still agreed because, in theory, they were all Wang Zheng's slaves now.

Has the city site been chosen?"

If you show your loyalty and work harder now, you will naturally get more benefits when the big city is built.

Afterwards, some further details were discussed and the meeting was adjourned until lunch time.

Wu Yi frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It shouldn't be easy. After all, these places have existed for so many years, and the mountains should still be very stable."

Wang Zheng nodded. "That's good to think so. Let's go back. We will choose this place to build the city. Arrange soldiers and Tibetans to dig the foundation and build the sewer first."

Wu Yi thought for a while and asked, "Sir, do we need to build a city wall this time? After all, a battle with Lu Dongzan is inevitable, and it is always good to have a city wall in case of emergency."

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "Building the city wall is really too expensive. The same cost can be used in other places to achieve better results.

In fact, as long as the houses are well protected, street fighting can play a defensive role that is no less than that of city walls, and the effect may be even better. "
