Chapter 681: The Third Plan!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

Building a city had always been an extremely expensive and massive undertaking. Zhang Shouzhi's greatest worry as a master architect was that money would run out midway through the project, leading to its abrupt end.

But with all the capital that had been accumulated, he could build a few cities and still have a little extra. This was no longer something as simple as a few million taels of gold.

For the first time in his life, Zhang Shouzhi didn't need to worry about money, yet he was in no mood to celebrate. On the contrary, he was worried, worried for Wang Chong.

The money from a great clan was not that easy to accept!

"Young Master, this is no laughing matter. I hope that Young Master can be a bit more prudent!" Zhang Shouzhi harshly said.

Wang Chong quietly smiled. He naturally knew what Zhang Shouzhi was worried about. If his goal was simply using his fief to make money, then taking all this money from the great clans really would be a problem.

But Wang Chong had ulterior motives. Making money was just an excuse to conceal his true aims. Moreover, the larger the city was and the more great clans it could hold, the more assistance it could provide to the Western Regions, and the more resources and support it could receive from the clans.

From a certain perspective, it was only this method that could give his fief the largest possible influence.

A general required extraordinary insight and daring. Zhang Shouzhi did not possess these traits.

"I have my own plans for everything. There's no need for Sir Zhang to worry about it."

Wang Chong faintly smiled, raising a single finger as he spoke.

“In addition, I hope that construction on the city can be started as quickly as possible. One month, one month at most, excluding the time needed to transport materials and tools. In the span of one month, I hope that the city can be finished.”

Buzz!

Zhang Shouzhi's body trembled at Wang Chong's words and he suddenly raised his head. Building a city was an extremely time-consuming and exhausting task, and more time would be needed the larger the city was.

It was normal for an ordinary city to take one or two years to complete. For Wang Chong to take all this money from the great clans and put it all in a city that needed to be finished in a month was utterly impossible.

"Haha, human effort can achieve anything. Did Sir Zhang forget about that city of steel we built on that mountain to fight against Mengshe Zhao and Ü-Tsang?"

Wang Chong seemed to see through Zhang Shouzhi's heart, grinning as he spoke.

"But not even this will be enough!"

Zhang Shouzhi was still a little anxious.

Only a god could pull off the miracle of building a massive city in a month. Wang Chong's request was simply implausible.

"It's naturally impossible for an ordinary city, but perhaps not for a city of steel."

Wang Chong smiled and waved his hand behind him.
