Become the city lord from today

In the early morning, a fifty-meter large ship was sailing on the Youshui River.

Niu Ben stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the river in front of him. He had been setting off from Xiyang City for many days. This time, his destination was Mar City, for the implementation of the military port plan.

We should have set off long ago, but we were missing the most important thing, which was cement. We had to wait for a long time for the fired cement.

The construction of the military port and the garrison of troops at the port are all preparations for the future unification of the western land. At that time, the military port will be used as the fulcrum and radiate out, and the surrounding area will be the real control area.

Another point is that maintaining the safety of Youshui River can deter passing water thieves. After all, the value that Youshui River can create in the future is immeasurable.

The importance of the military port plan is indescribable, but because of this, Liu Feng had to be cautious and worried that there was no suitable candidate to lead the team. It was not until the end that he decided to let Niu Ben lead the team to supervise it.

Niu Ben was originally in charge of internal affairs and would be more leisurely, but he was a restless person, so when Liu Feng approached him and explained the situation, he agreed without saying a word.

"We should be arriving in Marlborough soon. Niu Ben whispered to himself.

Sure enough, as the ship continued to move forward, a dilapidated port appeared in Niu Ben's eyes.

The port was made of wood, and some places had begun to decay, especially the bubbles. The part in the water is considered good in the western land, but compared to Xiyang City, it is a bit shabby.

"Just look at the port and you will see how dilapidated the city of Mal is."Niu Ben said speechlessly.

The port has become like this, but Viscount Gini didn't spend money to rebuild it. No wonder Mal City can't develop. There is a reason. At this time, on the edge of the port, Viscount Gini has already I led the people to welcome Niu Ben. After waiting for so long, I finally waited for someone to come from Xiyang City.

"Wow, what a big ship. This is the first time I’ve seen it."

"This ship is from Xiyang City. I have been to Xiyang City. It is much more prosperous than our Mal City. If my father didn't want to leave, I would have moved to Xiyang City."

"The lord of Xiyang City is really a good person. It’s because of him that we have jobs......"

"Xiyang City is better. I heard the salaries there are very high.……"

"………"

There were hundreds of people at the port, all of whom were civilians from Mar City, and they were all talking about the appearance of Niu Ben and others.

They were all hired by Viscount Genie to help build the port, and their daily salary was almost two copper coins. Of course, they wanted to build the port quickly. For this reason, he gritted his teeth and called so many people over.

"Ashore!"

"Drop anchor, drop anchor!!"

"Lower the sails, lower the sails!!"

The boatman on the boat shouted loudly, the anchor was lowered from the boat and sank into the Youshui River. The big boat stopped safely at the edge of the port.

"squeak……"

Niu Ben led the soldiers off the ship. When he first stepped on the wooden planks of the port, there was a"squeak" sound, which made him deeply doubt whether the port under his feet would collapse at any time.

When more and more people came down, the whole port shook a little, and Niu Ben could only speed up and step on the ground.

Behind him, workers moved bags of cement packed with linen off the ship and piled them on the shore. Soldiers guarded them and no one was allowed to approach.

"Finally, someone came from Xiyang City."Viscount Genie saw the cow running towards him and hurriedly went to greet it.

"It took a while to prepare the materials. Can we start now? Niu Ben said calmly.

He didn't like this kind of nobles who exploited the common people. If it weren't for the fact that Mar City played an important role in unifying the west in the future, he would not have set foot here.

"Okay, it's time to start, they are all at your command."The bald Viscount Gini was stunned. He didn't expect Niu Ben to be so direct.

"Let's start taking action. First, knock down the old port and demolish it all. Niu Ben said in a deep voice, commanding the civilians to start taking action.

"Manager Niu, are all of this port going to be demolished?"Viscount Genie said in shock. He didn't expect that the entire port would be demolished.

"Yes, a brand new port will be built here, and merchant ships coming to Xiyang City can dock here. Niu Ben responded calmly.

"No, if this port is completely demolished, where will our ship dock?"Viscount Genie was stunned and asked confusedly.

"It may take us a while. Isn't there still open space over there? You can temporarily build a port there for use. Niu Ben pointed at the pile of rocks ahead and said coldly.

"this……"Viscount Genie was dumbfounded. He was about to say something, but was interrupted.

"Your port is too small. In the future, we will have more merchant ships and there won’t be enough space to park them, so they must be rebuilt. The space here is already small, so we can only use them all. Niu Ben said with a serious face

"I......"Viscount Genie was in trouble, and in the end he had to build a new port.

Niu Ben glanced at Viscount Gini coldly, and then said,"Let's get started, time is a bit tight, and we must finish it before winter.""

"......"Viscount Genie really has no choice now. What else can he do if he doesn't build it? He has no right to resist at all. Now he has to build it even if he doesn't build it.

He turned around and gave some instructions to his men, then got directly into the carriage and returned to the castle. Out of sight, out of mind.

He was still very distressed. It cost a lot of gold coins to build the simplest port. During this period, he made some money because of the textile technology. Now it seems that most of it will be invested in the new port.

Otherwise, during the period when there is no port, when other merchants come to Mar City to do business, if there is no port for them to dock, they may be lost directly to other cities. You must know that they are not the only ones who have linen.

Niu Ben didn't care about Viscount Gini. He still had to be stronger outside to prevent some people from playing tricks.

"Move all the wood away and fill it all with stones……"

Niu Ben directed the workers, and the project was proceeding in an orderly manner.
