Chapter 152: Water Repellent Array, Reward from the Royal Family
Translator: 549690339
“Other than food, the royal family also invited array masters from various dynasties to inscribe grade seven water-proof arrays for each city.”
“With this formation and the fact that the refuge cities are far away from the river, the flood will be much weaker when it arrives. It won’t be a problem for us to last for a year and a half.”
“In a year, the flood will definitely dissipate.”
“In addition, the royal family has also mobilized the large carriages from the Great Qian Dynasty and a few nearby friendly empires, as well as all the flying carriages, to assist the great clans in migrating the people.”
“In order to settle the people, they even forgot about the war at the front
line.”The county governor explained on behalf of the royal family.
Hearing the county governor’s explanation, Chen Yang’s expression softened slightly.” That’s good. The royal family hasn’t given up on Jiang Prefecture yet.”
“Of course.” The county governor continued,” Furthermore, the royal family will not only provide support for disaster relief, but they will also reward aristocratic families who can protect the people.”
“Regardless of the outcome, the aristocratic families that are willing to accept the people will be rewarded with a seventh-grade item after the disaster ends.”
“No matter what it is, as long as it’s at Rank-7, it can be rewarded to the aristocratic families.”
“As for those aristocratic families near the river, if they don’t leave Jiang Prefecture, they will also be rewarded with eighth-grade treasures.”
“This is only the most basic. After the disaster is over, the royal family will give rewards according to the number of people left in the city.”
“The royal family is willing to reward a sixth-grade cultivation technique or other treasures of equal value.”
After hearing the reward from the royal family, Yang Chen rolled his eyes.
Giving rewards according to the number of people left in the city was obviously encouraging everyone to accept disaster victims.
“Oh right, other than families like my Chen family, which are far away from the Yangtze River.
Do the other families who are forced to migrate but are unwilling to leave Jiang Prefecture and protect the people with us have such a reward?”Yang Chen asked again.
“Of course there is.”
” Of course,” the county governor said with a smile.” The rewards for such aristocratic families naturally don’t depend on how many people remain in the city.”
“The royal family will leave surveillance guards in every city to record the achievements of these aristocratic families.
Although the first place would not be rewarded with a sixth-grade cultivation method, there would still be a reward that was enough to tempt a seventh-grade force.”
“As for how to evaluate the merits of the various aristocratic families, it mainly depends on these aspects.”
“One is to resist the demon beasts. When the flood comes, the demon beasts living in the river will definitely follow.”
“Those beasts will definitely take advantage of the chaos and attack the people of the cities without regard for the alliance agreement.”
“In addition, the demon beasts in the Endless Mountain Range will probably take this opportunity to invade our Jiang Prefecture. After all, the demon beasts suffered a loss in the last demon wave.”
Yang Chen understood. The royal family had considered it well. When the time came, there would definitely be a demon wave.
Although the alliance between the royal family and the River Demon King ensured the peace of the river, it also ensured the stable development of the demon beasts in the river.
In addition, there was no telling how many demon beasts would migrate here from outside the river. When the time came, the number of water-type demon beasts in Jiang Prefecture would definitely be shocking.
If these demon beasts broke through the city walls, the flood would definitely come and destroy everything in the city.
“That’s why it’s important to defend against demonic beasts. Whoever kills more demonic beasts will have greater achievements.”
“As for the second aspect, it is to ensure the peace of the city.”
“With so many commoners gathered in a city, it will definitely make the city extremely congested. It will be extremely difficult to even find a place to stay.”
“After all, there are so many cities in the Jiang Prefecture. Only the Chen family built a new city wall outside the city wall, expanding the area of the city by several times.”
“Cough, cough, it’s a pass.” Chen Yang reminded.
“Oh, pass, pass.” After a few perfunctory words, the Prefectural Governor continued,””With such a traffic jam and the effects of the natural disaster, everyone must have accumulated a lot of frustration.”
“Under the influence of depression, it’s normal for chaos to break out. At this time, it’s especially important to ensure the peace of the city.”
Chen Yang deeply agreed. In this kind of situation, he was afraid that before the demon beasts had attacked, there would be internal chaos, giving the demon beasts an opportunity.
“As for the third aspect, it is to ensure the safety of the people.
There were many branches to this, such as providing demon beast meat, ensuring the health of the people, taking out the medicinal herbs accumulated at home to help the people, and so on. 1 won’t go into detail here.”
“In short, compared to the Chen family, which is far away from the river, it is much more difficult for other families to obtain rewards.”the county governor said.
After the official business was done, the county governor settled the county governor’s manor in Chen City.
There were three cities in Nanyang County that were responsible for receiving the people. They were Chen City, Liu City, and Mo City.
Among the three cities, Chen City had the largest area and received the most people. The county governor naturally had to pay attention to it and personally oversee it to show his sincerity.
After talking to the county governor, Chen Yang asked Chen Xuan to accompany the county governor for a walk around Chen City while Chen Yang himself went to patrol the pass.
At first, Yang Chen had only planned to build a defensive structure similar to the Great Wall, but he realized that the amount of work was not enough.
After all, the people here had some cultivation. Even ordinary people were quite strong. The mission that was originally set to be completed in ten years was completed in six years.
Yang Chen then decided to use the east and west walls of Chen City as a starting point to surround the entire area controlled by the Chen Family and build an outer wall.
Bah!
Construction of the pass!
In short, he had no choice but to do so back then. Now, he had left a huge problem for the Chen family.
If they pushed the 30 million people of Nanyang into Chen City, it would explode.
Back to the main topic.
After inspecting the pass and making sure that there were no problems, Yang Chen began to think of other methods.
Sitting still and waiting for death was not Yang Chen’s personality. He had to be prepared in advance.
“If it’s a flood, do you want to make a drainage pipe? But if they built drainage pipes, where would they go?”
“Moreover, without the support of steel bars and frame bars, this drainage pipe is unstable with only the cement of this world. It might collapse at any time.”
After thinking about it, Yang Chen decided to build a drainage pipe.
After all, compared to the possible threat, the threat of the flood was still greater.
Besides, the array master arranged by the royal family would be here in two days. When the time came, he would ask them if they could use an array to stabilize the pipeline.
If there were no steel bars, he could just use an array formation.
As for the location of the drainage, he could not care less. At most, the soil would absorb the water naturally. If it really didn’t work out, they would dig a huge reservoir underground to discharge the flood.
Chen Yang immediately found the Prefectural Governor and First Elder and told them his thoughts.
After the two of them heard it, they also expressed that it was feasible.
Given the current situation, as long as there was a measure that could protect the people, everyone would try it..
