It was precisely because of the attention of the imperial court that the yamen was arranged to be stationed in this new city that had not yet been officially named for the first time. Of course, I've already named this city Crescent City!

The new city can be built in just one month ~ referred to as Crescent City......

The imperial court focused on how to protect and guard the goods produced by this future industrial city, so no one came to rush to name the city this time.

However, there are still many people who want to buy the houses of this Crescent City as a residence at a high price after seeing the comfort level of White Jade City~ In other words, I can't turn this city into White Jade City this time, and finally become an entertainment city for life and pleasure.

So I completely rejected anyone's suggestion to buy a property, and surrendered all the title deeds of the city to the imperial court. After all, in my plan, the workers to be recruited here are provided with accommodation for free. So I'm not going to hand over ownership of the house to private individuals. For the sake of safety, it is safest to hand it over to the imperial court!

Subsequently, this move was rewarded by the imperial court, especially after I submitted the design plan of the new smelting plant and the design plan of the textile factory to the imperial court, the emperor actually issued another order to promote me to the title of first-class...... In other words, I still haven't figured out what this title means in Datang, and I'm still very satisfied with my own title of 'potato county man'. He even promoted me to a first-level knighthood and made this 'Crescent City' my fiefdom...... Now I know that after the knighthood, there are still fiefs! It's just that after the upgrade, I changed from the title of 'Founding County Man' from the title of Wupin to the title of 'Founding County'...... In addition, the fief is Crescent City~ My title has been directly promoted from the fictitious 'Potato Founding County Man' to the name of 'Crescent Founding County'!

It's just that the title of 'Crescent County', why does it sound so awkward to me! It's like calling me 'Crescent Fairy'...... Anyway, I'm starting to regret naming this new city the name Crescent City now, I knew that I would make this place my fief and add the name of the fief in front of the title, then I would definitely give this new city a 'mighty and domineering' name~ Now it's okay, if you don't pay attention, you will become a 'Crescent Moon Fairy'! It's a bit of a male and female separation, right? What's even more sad is that my current body, because of the shopping mall, it has been several years since I even crossed the Tang Dynasty, and the age of my body should be a good time for growth and development. But because of the shopping mall and other reasons, my body is still so thin, whether it is height and weight, or small arms and legs~ It is a completely undeveloped appearance! It cannot be said that it has not developed at all! The first time I got the seal, and it was still fused with my antique locket, my body suddenly grew a little bigger. It's just that after an accident caused something wrong in the mall, it shrank back again, and I don't know what triggered it, so my body never grew and developed again! Even if he got a lot of gold later, it didn't develop. And when I was in a coma for the first time, I shrunk a little bit...... It's sad to think about!

Speaking of titles and fiefs, I later learned that this title in the Tang Dynasty was actually not a town, but a kind of farmland called 'Yongye Tian'.

According to the nine titles of the Tang Dynasty: 10,000 acres for the prince, 5,000 acres for the county king, 4,000 acres for the national duke, 3,500 acres for the county duke, 2,500 mu for the county duke, 1,400 mu for the marquis, 1,000 mu for the uncle, 800 mu for the son, and 500 mu for the male.

It was given out to mulberry fields, not towns.

However, my original title of 'Potato Founding County Man' was a completely fictitious title. Not only does the name of a grain carry in the name, but there is also no Yongye Field. And said that the fief ~ In fact, the Tang Dynasty would not give anyone a fief. Not even the Prince. As for why I was given a fief to a person who was only the second-to-last level of the 'county prince' title~ I don't know this for the time being. After all, it seems to be an extremely complicated thing for a title or something, even if I am awarded the title of county viscount of 'Zhengwupin', I only know that the imperial court will make a register and pay a salary called 'Shiyi' on an annual basis.

Speaking of this food yip~ Shiyi is also known as caiyi. Ancient Chinese princes bestowed their ministers and doctors as Shilu's fields (including the laborers of the land). Because the ancient Chinese secretary and doctor used the mining for food for generations, it was called the food yi.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, this food town became a kind of reward for false positions, that is, according to the number of food towns rewarded by the imperial court, a reward for the imperial court to pay additional salaries every year.

It's just that if you exchange it for me and actually reward the future residents of Crescent City as my food estate, and let me earn 'food luck' from their income taxes, this is really a rare reward in Datang!" I heard that people like the royal family don't have this kind of real food......

If I were to build this place into a large industrial city according to the plan, it would be a staggering amount of money just because of the city's taxes! This court is too generous!

After receiving so many rewards unexpectedly, I was a little dumbfounded. In particular, I have met many acquaintances with the person who came to issue the holy decree knighthood, and after the other party enthusiastically explained to me the special features of this reward, I can be regarded as understanding how much the imperial court, especially His Majesty the Emperor, attaches great importance to my Crescent City!

Oh yes, after the reward, the new 'county master' of the local yamen came over with his subordinate officials and handed me an official paperwork. When I opened it, it turned out to be an open-pit coal mine ownership document. Although it is not written in my name Li Hei, but after it is recorded in the name of the academy. But the ownership of this entire large open-pit coal mine still shocked me with the imperial court's generosity. They are so extravagant, it's like giving me a coal mine for nothing! It's still the kind of an entire mine.

Not to mention, I clearly know that this mine should be the center of the famous coal mining area in the future, and there must be more underground coal mines under the open-pit high-quality coal mines! At that time, as long as the people of the academy study a specific plan for mining underground coal mines, then I can become the richest man in Datang with the production of this kind of coal mine!

"Oh! It doesn't seem to work, this is recorded in the name of the academy, so the production here should be counted as the income of the academy! Oh yes! Counting the coal mines here to be supplied to Crescent City, if you calculate this, the income is not very much! I silently pondered in my heart.

And counting the academy to study new mining technology for a long time, then this imperial court just gave away a coal mine for nothing, but in exchange for more mining technology, then the imperial court did not suffer, but made a lot of money!

But I don't have anything to lose, anyway, these are what I want, and now that the imperial court supports me so much, then I can save money and worry about the development of this industrial city!

After the smugness, I started to calm down. In fact, if you think about it, although I was temporarily promoted to a knighthood, I was also rewarded a lot. But these things can't be exchanged for real money now. After all, there has been no development in the academy's research on mining so far. Moreover, the design of large-scale smelting plants has not been studied by researchers at the academy.

In this way, if you want to develop this industrial city, not only are there two key technologies missing, but also the tasks on the shoulders of the researchers of the college are much heavier!

"Alas! In the end, there are still not enough people, and I am extremely short of researchers! ”

I'm starting to wonder if I'm taking a big step now, and I'm going to feel like I'm going to hit the egg. After all, these new researchers have only been studying for a short time and are already working on research projects that span several eras. If you think so, the best plan would be for me to wait a few more years to train the first batch of students, and then when the college can produce enough talents every year, and then do these current research projects. After all, the scientific and technological level and knowledge reserve of current researchers are completely insufficient, and many researchers have only been exposed to new knowledge for one or two semesters. Their current research work is very arduous, and while learning all kinds of knowledge, they are researching and replicating the projects I have set and the imitation work of the products I have taken out...... I hurried for them until I was exhausted...... It was only later that I realized that all of these researchers were so attracted by the new knowledge that they couldn't help themselves. So they started to work spontaneously and frantically overtime.

It's just that there is still a serious shortage of manpower. I have given them too many research projects. As a result, a lot of research work can only be assigned to one or two specialized people, and most of the researchers also work part-time on several research projects at the same time......

So I still have to gather people again. And the newly recruited people have to start over with new knowledge!

Fortunately, the first batch of students has a very solid grasp of knowledge. Don't look at the children who are only about 10 years old now. However, these students are already learning knowledge, and at the same time, they have also cultivated the current researchers~ If it weren't for the fact that these students are too young, and I plan to make them develop stronger and learn more knowledge from later generations, I wouldn't have let them get involved in research work. Otherwise, with the amount of knowledge of these students, they are almost the same as the current researchers! They even have to learn two more semesters of knowledge than the current researchers and the teachers who give them lectures!

That's why I personally recruited a group of students to come over without delaying these students from continuing their studies. Then these students were asked to work with a small number of special teachers to teach the first grade knowledge to these newly recruited readers......

Because the first batch of researchers and the second batch of researchers are already famous in the Tang Dynasty. So when recruiting new people this time, it was very smooth. I won't be able to recruit people who look down on the knowledge I teach, and call it a miscellaneous study of 'strange and obscene techniques'!

It's just that for the recruitment of new fresh students, I think it's better to delay it for a while. At the very least, I have to wait for the first batch of students to reach the level of elementary school graduation, and then I will start recruiting new students once a year! Now I really don't have the energy to train new students. Just cultivating these 'half-baked' researchers has already consumed the energy of everyone in the academy! But even so, half of the knowledge was taught by students, and the other half of the knowledge was stored by the third group of researchers, who were self-taught and the knowledge of the books they had originally read, and it took them more time than the second batch of researchers to start researching. Instead of doing a new study, we have to go through the replication work of the first and second groups of researchers again......

After comparing them, I realized how talented the first and second batch of readers I had gathered were. And how lucky I am to have recruited so many talented people to do research and study! Think about it, the third group of people is simply weak!

It was for these reasons that Crescent City, which was originally built in a month, was delayed for another year before the construction of the first light industrial textile mill and the first medium-sized smelter began!

Unexpectedly, it took a year to waste a year for the researchers of the college to succeed in the research and design of underground mining and the research and design of the new smelter.

Fortunately, this year has not been wasted, in addition to gathering people everywhere to fill the city, I am constantly researching and renovating all the infrastructure of this crescent city.

This includes the construction of two large thermal power plants. The installation of heating, sewer and water pipes throughout the city, as well as the laying of a railroad from the coal mine to the Crescent City smelter, were completed over the course of a year.

It was probably the prospect of a new smelter that impressed the entire imperial court, so even after the construction of Crescent City had been completed, 50,000 people were left to work here all year round. So these buildings are all completed by these people with the support of the imperial court at any cost!

One of the things that makes me most happy is that the high-voltage transformer has been successfully studied, and the rails of the steam locomotive, which have been designed for a long time, have finally gathered enough steel, and then built a 10-kilometer-long railway...... It's a real railroad made of sleepers and rails!
