Chapter 198 (2/2)

Outside the Northwest Corridor, what corasslands

And towards the inside…… Is the Du Wei’s Desa Province!

Du Wei is very clear that with the current relationshi+p between the Northwestern Army and the Empire, he can never rely on these outposts to protect himself!

In fact, he even suspects that the Northwestern Army, the bandits, and the prairie natives are all in cahoots together!

This way around, Desa Province is practically entrapped in the jaws ofmajor happened prior to his arrival due to the poor conditions of the place, but with his arrival, the first thing he needs to solve is how to defend himself and his people!

In Du Wei’s view, the location of his capital Anglia City is not up to his standard Far away froainst the mountains, the place is definitely safe However, whether it is traffic or the ability to cover the entire Desa Province, it is not ideal for a capital

Since Du Wei have already abandoned the idea of repairing the city, he spent a long ti over the map for an ideal location for his new capital In the end, he finally settled on a spot

Loulan!

In his previous life, this as the naendary city in the desert, but in this life, this world is a name of a lake

Loulan Lake

Walking down fro further inland on the main road, there is a very hard to co down from the mountain slopes would constantly replenish the water supply

Many caravans heading to and from the Northwest desert will choose to pass by this location in order to restock on their water supplies beforeon

If there is a spring source, then they no longer need to drink that bitter underground waters According to his knowledge froround water would often contain harmful substances

“We will build the new capital here!” After Du Wei referred to the location on the

“My lord” The first one to open hissome time with Du Wei, this favored scholar of his have started become more confident: “My lord, to be perfectly blunt, if ere to establish a new city here, I fear the cost would be Astronomical…… ”

“You need not worry about the finances” Du Wei lightly spoke his words: “Fortunately, we lack everything here but rocks I made some calculations, if we follow the South’s standard; ould need about 4 ration andhere is cheap This is a good place, if not for the financial constraints of the Northwest, the previous lords would have already built a city here”

“I don’t doubt your wealth” Philip shakes his head: “Millions of gold coins, I believe your lordshi+p can still afford it, but my worry is the series of problems that will come afterward……”

With that, Phillip stood up and walked next to the er, he then pointed at some spots: “My concerns have three points Firstly, if you can figure out this point is a transportation hub, then others will also know that The natives and the Northwestern Army aren’t stupid! Once you build a new city here, they will feel threatened by your ainst us… Secondly, there is also the problee numbers of manpower to achieve and that is exactly e lack Lastly…”

Philip carefully watched his words: “There is the question of labor, your Excellency!” He sighed with pain: “The Northwest’s population is scarce to begin with and the Desa Province is no different with only 800,000 people In my opinion, the construction of a city would need at least tens of thousands of workers! As for the time frame, it would take at least two years from an optimistic standpoint I don’t believe we can recruit thatwould cause a revolt a the people We only have a few thousand soldiers on our side; trying to control the entire province will be difficult… Neither do we have the food needed to feed such a large nuet the Northwest is a food production region”

Du Wei quietly waited till Philip finished his speech He was not angry because Philip is his advisor and a good advisor s from many different standpoints to co sidekick!

“There are ently knocks his fingers on theto create a mircle?”

Du Wei waited for a moment to let his words sink in to his team

“Three months!” Du Wei said this with sh After three months, you will see a new city appear in this place!”

Everyone becahtened that they were speechless

Three months to build a new city? Is this a joke!

“Don’t forget ician, and es are usually the type of people that created miracles”
