The Prodigal Son of the Empire

His heart relaxed slightly, the first step of the task Wang Kang entrusted to him has been completed!

But the real plan is the beginning... It is not easy to help Han Yuanyi to that position!

Han Yuanyi obviously understood this truth better, he said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what should I do in the first step?"

"Your first step, Young Master Kang has already made a plan for you, find a backer, take advantage of the situation!"

"Borrow? Who can I borrow? Who can be my backer!"

Xiao Huan said in a deep voice: "Your cousin is also the daughter of your second uncle, Han Yuanyun..."

[Author's digression]: The first update!

Chapter 3 Nineteen The Rain Keeps Falling

There has been progress in Yongzhou, but there have been changes in Xinfeng County.

After a few days of sweltering heat, the sky finally changed, thick dark clouds gradually approached, and the distant sky was gloomy...

The rain is about to come, this is the consensus of everyone.

The outdoor construction has stopped, and we are doing our best to protect it. God will not give you time. You never know when there will be a heavy rain.

The only thing to do is to prepare in advance!

Much needs to be done.

The fired cement must be well protected, if it is wet by rain, it will be ruined...

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Kang arranged for labor to dig ditches along the outside of Xinfeng County. If there was a heavy rain, it would be able to release flood water, and store water to form a moat...

Everything was going on tight, but God didn't give him too much time after all. In the evening of this day, cloudy clouds gathered over Xinfeng County,

Along with the bursts of thunder, the raindrops began to fall...

"Quick, put the sandbags here again!"

"Go and see if it's still covered..."

"Erba, go home, don't go up the mountain!"

Not only Wang Kang was making arrangements, but even the common people were very nervous.

Every year because of mountain torrents, Xinfeng County suffers countless disasters, and how many villages are washed away by mountain torrents...

Over time, the raindrops connect into lines, forming a rain curtain.

The weather is getting cooler, but Wang Kang's heart is a little heavy.

Although the protection has been done as much as possible, no one can tell how heavy the rain will be and how powerful the flash flood will be.

"Master Kang, I'm afraid this rain is unusual!"

Nie Zhongxing said with a sad face,

Wang Kang asked, "Have you made arrangements for those people who have emigrated?"

To build a new city, some of the houses have been demolished, and these people have no houses to live in for the time being. Wang Kang first built a simple residence in the open space outside the city.

But these dwellings cannot guarantee safety in heavy rain and flash floods.

"It's settled," Nie Zhongxing responded.

Wang Kang said again: "Where is the tunnel? That is the most important thing, there must be no problems... don't let water pour in,"

"Don't worry about that,"

Nie Zhongxing said: "When you designed it, the tunnel entrance itself is on a high terrain, and there is a special water channel above it, so there will be no problems!"

"Zhou Qing, order the family's private soldiers to be ready at any time. If there is a mountain torrent or a disaster occurs in some places, they should be dispatched as soon as possible..."

"Yes!" Zhou Qing replied.

The rain hit the ground and made a pattering sound. Wang Kang stood in front of the window and watched. The unexpected rain disrupted his arrangements and affected the progress of the construction.

But there was no other way but to wait.

Each construction site has already arranged personnel to report the situation at any time...

Other than that, nothing can be done.

Wang Kang returned to the study, and took advantage of this time to continue to perfect the plan for building a new city.

This is a city, and there are many things to consider, not only the civil construction, but also the corresponding city defense.

Think of everything.

At this moment, Wang Kang is thinking whether to build a city wall...

The city wall is a city, and the most basic protection can be the placement of soldiers to guard and the establishment of fortifications, etc.

Xinfeng County also has a city wall, but it is low and dilapidated. If there is a war, it will not work at all.

Moreover, Wang Kangxin's plan expands the original area, and the city wall is intended to be used as the inner city...

How to be good?

The construction of the city wall is such a large area, and it is a huge project. The current situation obviously cannot keep up.

If it's just an ordinary city wall, it's meaningless...

Wang Kang rubbed his forehead, and came to the window again. Through the rain curtain, he could see the mountains in the distance. Wang Kang's eyes lit up immediately, and he had an idea.

Xinfeng County is surrounded by mountains, which is the perfect natural barrier, the city wall?What wall do you want?

No need at all.

At the beginning, banditry was rampant in Xinfeng County, and the main reason was that there were many mountains and diverse places.

Why not follow suit.

It is only necessary to set up more guard posts on the mountain, prepare equipment to defend against the enemy, and block the main road...

This is enough, far more useful than city walls.

Right, that is it.

Since a new city is to be built, the defense must be different from other cities...
