Building a city is a major undertaking for a power to establish its dominion.
A rock-solid city holds extraordinary significance, and historically, many renowned cities, by their mere names, could bring a sense of security and reassurance.
For example, Xiangfan in a previous life, the mere mention of this city's name would evoke a sense of security, as if it were a copper wall and iron bastion defending against enemy attacks, seemingly guaranteeing safety as long as it stood.
This is the effect a city brings.
At this moment, Uchiha Tenxiu was no different; although he was building this city in an area where enemies rarely appeared, it did not mean he would deviate from normal construction methods or intentionally omit certain structures, such as city walls or barbicans, to reduce labor and time.
Quite the opposite.
Uchiha Tenxiu decided to build this city to the highest specifications. He personally drew the city's blueprint, meticulously considering every detail. The height and thickness of the city walls were precisely calculated, not only to be incredibly strong but also to possess defensive capabilities capable of withstanding various potential attacks. Do not assume that ordinary cities cannot be effective; later, defensive barriers will be set up, combined with Sealing Ninjutsu, enough to create a defensive space where Ninja cannot use Ninjutsu.
The design of the barbican was even more ingenious, like a giant trap from which enemies, once inside, would find it difficult to escape.
During the construction process, he would strictly supervise every step, ensuring that every brick and stone was laid perfectly.
At the same time, Uchiha Tenxiu did not forget modern facilities; the construction of the sewers proceeded in an orderly fashion, allowing wastewater to be discharged out of the city promptly, maintaining urban cleanliness. The buildings for administrative agencies were also gradually taking shape, their tall and imposing architectural style symbolizing power.
As time passed, the city gradually took shape, and the unease in the hearts of those who were originally apprehensive slowly dissipated due to the forming city, which in turn deepened their awe of Uchiha Tenxiu.
As for the difficulties that might be encountered in this process, and whether these unfamiliar tasks could be accomplished.
Uchiha Tenxiu directly used his Sharingan to package all the city construction information from various videos he had watched in his previous life and handed it over to his subordinates.
The information contained within basically covered all problems and solutions related to city construction.
Uchiha Tenxiu once again thanked the country and civilization of his previous life for the rich treasures they had left him.
Build according to these requirements.
As for the construction period.
Uchiha Tenxiu did not care how long it took or how much material and manpower it consumed.
Do you think a Ninja's Ninjutsu is reasonable? Perhaps you would say that building a city requires flat land, but we are in a jungle wilderness, where there are many dense trees as obstacles. However, Uchiha Tenxiu was not afraid; he directly performed an improved Wind Release cutting Ninjutsu, and the powerful wind swept through like a sharp blade, easily felling a large amount of solid wood, which he then had piled up.
Even the modification and drying of wood for building houses could be directly completed using Fire Release or Wind Release.
As for whether Uchiha Tenxiu would get tired doing so much by himself? Uchiha Tenxiu was not stupid; he would just start it off and demonstrate it for them, then he could completely hand it over to his subordinates.
He was the King, not a laborer.
If he did everything himself.
Then what kind of King would he be?
In short, under the efforts of these rogue Ninja subdued by Uchiha Tenxiu, the project was perfected step by step.
And among them, the construction Ninjutsu developed by Tenxiu were used with great proficiency; these simple Ninjutsu, under the operation of the Sharingan, could completely allow them to learn them hand-in-hand through genjutsu.
As for the remaining weeds, dead branches, and rotten leaves, Uchiha Tenxiu did not think much. He unhesitatingly used Fire Release to burn all these Sundries to ashes. To prevent the fire from spreading, he also had people use Earth Release to build a sturdy isolation wall around, ensuring the fire would not get out of control.
When the fire gradually extinguished, Uchiha Tenxiu continued to use Earth Release to repeatedly turn over and compact the burned ground.
After such a series of operations.
A solid foundation was finally completed.
Next, Uchiha Tenxiu began to handle other details. He planned the laying of sewers and various sewage treatment systems in advance, ensuring the city's basic infrastructure was complete.
And when building the main body of the city, he displayed astonishing skill.
Whether it was firing bricks, pouring cement, or building oriental-style houses, Uchiha Tenxiu handled it with ease.
All of this was thanks to the valuable information passed down from countless short videos he had watched in his previous life, deeply hidden in his mind.
This knowledge was truly comprehensive, allowing him to be so adept in the completely unfamiliar field of architecture.
Of course, most of the time he just started things off.
The rest was left to others.
“After all, these subordinates only need to work hard, while I have much more to consider.”
Half a month later.
“What a rare rest!” Uchiha Tenxiu and Uchiha Sakurako sat in a pavilion near the beach, enjoying the sea breeze today, a rare moment of relief after half a month of hard work.
Beside him, Uchiha Sakurako’s gaze towards Uchiha Tenxiu no longer held the usual disdain and targeting; instead, it was filled with utter subjugation, completely conquered by the various abilities Uchiha Tenxiu had displayed.
Uchiha Tenxiu naturally noticed this, and a smug smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Honestly speaking.
How many treasures are contained within the mind of a transmigrator is an absolute unknown mystery.
In the Ninja World, this extraordinary world where one can cultivate, Uchiha Tenxiu could use Ninjutsu to specifically excavate memories of the various large and small events he experienced in his previous life. This led to the accumulated treasures of experience from his previous life being available for use whenever needed.
And now.
It was Uchiha Tenxiu's time to utilize them.
Therefore, during the half-month of city construction, countless difficulties encountered were all easily resolved by Uchiha Tenxiu. Any problem, once raised, would be solved in no more than five minutes. The entire process was simply as if he had divine assistance. Not only Uchiha Sakurako herself, but even the more than one thousand commoners who had been brought over, one by one, developed a heartfelt reverence for Uchiha Tenxiu.
They even believed that Uchiha Tenxiu was a god sent to the mortal realm to rule them in this land and open up the future.
Yes, this is what these commoners thought after half a month of arriving in this land.
Under Uchiha Tenxiu's arrangement of fifty mu of land per household and a three-year tax exemption, they immediately received his heartfelt support and completely reversed any previous dissatisfaction. Especially those with positions were arranged as minor officials named “Lishi”; if they performed well in the future, they could continue to be promoted, and their lost wealth would be compensated tenfold, to be gradually distributed over the next ten years. The reason for not distributing it all at once was the fear that they would become lazy once they became wealthy. Therefore, distributing it year by year could both guarantee their basic livelihood and motivate them to work hard.
Uchiha Tenxiu deeply understood human weaknesses; if too much was given at once, these people might lose the motivation to strive. By distributing it gradually each year, he could ensure they always maintained anticipation for the future and motivation to work hard.
Such an arrangement, for Uchiha Tenxiu, not only allowed him to effectively manage this land but also to stimulate people's enthusiasm and creativity. He believed that as long as proper incentives and opportunities were given, these commoners would certainly be able to unleash their potential and collectively create a prosperous future.
It must be said that Uchiha Tenxiu, in order to develop his own strength, also began to plagiarize the famous farming and war strategies in history, allowing the people to only choose these two directions to work hard.
Of course, compared to the Qin Dynasty's cruelty and tyranny, Uchiha Tenxiu relaxed the thresholds, providing an environment where they could safely multiply and increase the population of this land. To this end, he even introduced a population policy, offering various benefits for increasing the population.
This policy would cause controversy in the future.
Therefore, for the development of the country, Uchiha Tenxiu could only “reluctantly” lead by example.
Of course.
That was all for later.
