In two weeks, the town of Athens seems to have returned to its former prosperity and busyness.
Because the materials are all transported from the relocation point, the time needed to build a new town is not too long. All the trees cut down can be recycled, and the cultivation of one or two months also enables urban residents to master quite skilled building skills!
At least in carpentry.
Murphy made great changes in the new town planning. He divided the rudiment of town size into two parts, one is the large port, and the other is the newly planned urban area.
The surrounding towns on the highlands are divided into three big blocks by Murphy: residential areas, temples and barracks.
As for the original business district, Murphy took it out and put it on top of the port which has been expanded several times.
Murphy''s idea is to use the port as a trading area for trade, while the town itself is a tight semi closed place. Taking the port as a buffer can not only reduce the exposure of the secrets of the town itself, but also prevent the impact of the indigenous people on the town itself to the greatest extent! It''s normal for cultural exchange to have a hedge. At present, Murphy does not open the door to the ideas of the aborigines.
That''s why he tried to put all foreign trade affairs in the port. He even planned to build a smaller governor''s office in the port.
The port is about 300 meters away from the new town. The road has been renovated. It is a five meter wide road covered with gravel and sand. It can run any carriage and transport goods smoothly.
At the port, Murphy planned a business district and built an extra blacksmith shop.
Of course, this is only the rudiment.
In fact, Murphy''s plan is to build Athens''s towns and ports into a terrain similar to that of xiapi and Xiaopei during the Three Kingdoms period, which are mutual horns!
As a trade center, the port does not need to spend too much energy on defense capability. Its main function is to seek trade development. It''s inevitable to build a fleet in the future, so Murphy doesn''t even plan to put up a wooden fence for the port. As the center of everything, the town, which was built on the high ground, was built into a semi closed private territory by Murphy.
Other people going in and out of the town need to make a close inventory, and military training, weapons building, temple worship and other activities will be concentrated in this semi closed inner city.
The port is only about 300 meters away from the town, so Murphy is not worried about being unable to help and retreat when he meets the enemy.
As long as the material and population keep up, Murphy will immediately start to excavate the ring River, and then use the port as the periphery to build an inner city out of thin air.
This is a construction plan that can advance, attack and retreat.
Because in the future, the port can be expanded as a side of the outer city pool.
And Murphy''s ultimate idea is to build a large river city. In such a trade oriented river city, the proportion of ports is very large.
Urban residents are building houses in full swing. Because of the trade channel opened by the Marquis Elizabeth, there are not few aborigines who come to the port to trade in slaves.
Murphy will build a number of hotels and expand the original business district.
The two teams of Greek infantry who have experienced the Jackal war and have rich experience in maintaining law and order tell the aborigines that they are powerful soldiers and soldiers who have experienced blood and killing!
This is a threat by force and a very important point to ensure public security!
Murphy once again found herself belittling the woman Marquis Elizabeth.
Because of her talent, even Murphy can''t help but wonder!
This woman has an extraordinary business mind, her sophisticated communication skills also won her a lot of bonus points. In just seven days, this woman sold more than 900 jackal slaves and successfully created a slave trade boom in the southern plains.
Here, we must explain it in detail.
First of all, the fur of more than a thousand jackals was the first to be sold.
Black market merchants are very welcome to this kind of thing, because they are not worried about the sale of fur coat, even if it comes from a kind of human creature. This will only make it easier to process and save a lot of manual costs!
For the poor people living at the bottom and people living in some poor areas, the value of more than a dozen silver coins is just two sheep.
Two sheep can''t keep you through a cold winter.
But a jackal fur can!
These biological fur more than two meters tall can keep people warm in all directions, and they are absolutely natural leather goods.
The sale of the Jackal''s fur gave the Marquis Elizabeth more than 10000 silver coins!
The fund of 10000 silver coins is the beginning of her next plan.
As an aristocrat, this woman has a political mind in line with it. In the following time, she mingled with the noble circle within human beings and successfully provoked the anger of the nobles who lost their territory and the sense of crisis of the nobles in the inner territory.
Of course, 900 jackal slaves were soon ordered out of the arena!
If that were all, Murphy would not have been so surprised by this woman. What surprised Murphy most about this woman was that she managed to win the approval of the aristocratic Council, and then gave them a desperate plan to deal with jackals!
As we all know, the Goutou people in the southern wilderness are making trouble in the rear of human beings, which makes it impossible for human beings in the whole southern plains to concentrate on defeating the Jackal army on the front line. The hindrance of logistic support makes the city-state coalition forces have to be in an awkward position of passive defense. It''s not that they don''t want to attack, but that any action may lead to irreparable disaster when they are attacked by the enemy!
Of course, this situation will be better if it is delayed until autumn, when the new army has been trained. With a population of 3 million people in the southern plain, even if it is launched on two fronts, it will be quite capable.
However, the military has been doing nothing to make those young nobles who like military achievements feel angry.
In order to break the deadlock as soon as possible, they did not hesitate to agree with the proposal of the Marquis Elizabeth.
In fact, the scheme of marquis Elizabeth is very simple.
That is, supported by the nobility, vigorously promote the Jackal slave trade.
Whether dead jackals or alive jackals, as long as you can bring it back, then you can get a reward!
Selfish desire is the greatest power of human heart!
As we all know, the slavers have a good army in their hands.
These armed forces only serve their private interests. So if we want this group of armed forces to play a role, we need to come up with enough interests to attract them!
More than 200000 people scattered from the front line, and their hatred of the jackals could maintain the original trade base.
As long as the interests are big enough, the private slave merchants and adventurers will rush to the area. These mercenaries will be careful to avoid the Jackal army and try their best to attack the weak jackals in the rear!
And these, for the aristocratic Council, are enough.
The total number of jackals is only about 100000. Even if there are 20 silver coins for a jackal, 10000 jackals are only 200000 silver coins. Compared with the military expenditure and pension, this sum of money is already a very small consumption.
And the loss of 10000 people, for the jackal, is absolutely bone breaking!
As a matter of fact, the aristocratic Council did not take the too beautiful reverie of marquis Elizabeth into consideration.
What they really value is the harassing effect of this on the rear of the Jackal.
Once the scale of this trade is established, there will definitely be a panic in the rear of jackals.
After all, even if it is a beast, it will feel fear and fear to see its own kind stripped of fur and sold as goods!
This is what the aristocratic Council wants most before the recruits are trained.
