Government building conference room.

Zhang Youde: "Okay, everyone is here to prepare for a meeting, this is a task ordered by the city lord, and we will deal with it, this must be completed well, otherwise the city lord will not be able to explain." ”

The people present were promoted by Zhang Youde, with a level of education, all of them were scholars below Xiucai, and in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they were scholars, there were no stupid people.

People with insufficient IQ simply have no way to study, except, of course, wealthy and powerful families. If you can't get into Xiucai, it's not because you don't have enough reading ability, because there are so many places for Xiucai, and it is difficult for a powerless reader to get the qualification of Xiucai unless he has a reputation.

When it came to run, because there was no talent and fame, he got a better opportunity in Zhangjiacheng.

Managing a city with a population of more than 600,000 people, the population will grow rapidly in the future, Chen Zijian can only be wary of scholars, and at the same time reluctantly let Zhang Youde appoint him, otherwise Zhang Youde will not be able to manage a big city.

"This is the task of the city lord, the five county towns of the Leizhou Peninsula, the city lord requires the realization of the county and county connection project, that is, between the five county seats, it is required to lay a four-meter cement road."

While Zhang Youde explained, he pointed out to the people present on the map.

The map is simple, just draw the scope of the Leizhou Peninsula on the map, and mark the five counties of the Leizhou Peninsula on it.

When everyone heard this, their eyelids jumped, and they all gasped, you must know how much manpower and material resources are needed to start from Zhangjiacheng and go to Xuwen County in the southernmost part of Xuwen County, and how much manpower and material resources are needed for such a length of cement road!

The laying of cement roads, as long as on the basis of the original official road, can be laid, but the difficulty will not be small, and the cement required alone is an astronomical amount.

"Deputy City Lord, this is too difficult, when does the City Lord ask us to finish it,? How much food is given? ”

Zhang Youde, "Good question, the time given to us by the city lord is within a year, as for manpower and money and food, hundreds of thousands of people, money and food can be guaranteed." You must know that the city lord will never be stingy in terms of money and food. ”

Everyone nodded, in the days of Zhangjiacheng, they didn't dare to say anything else, and the people would never be hungry in terms of food.

As for the wages given to the people, what is there to worry about? Zhangjiacheng has enough wealth to build such a cement road.

If Chen Zijian wants to build a huge palace for himself and spend a lot of money, everyone will not say anything, they will definitely complain in their hearts, and they will be arrogant and lascivious without any territory, and they will definitely not be a holy lord worth following.

In history, because of the greed for enjoyment, there are not too many examples of failed rebellions, and the volunteers are out-and-out thieves in the eyes of the imperial court.

Chen Zijian spent a huge amount of money to build cement roads connecting five county towns, thus bringing benefits to hundreds of thousands of people, although there is no saying that he wants to get rich and build roads first, and he does not really realize the benefits of building roads.

But this approach undoubtedly convinced the leadership.

The discussion held in the conference room laid the foundation for the task of the new road, and soon a document was issued.

The two carriages moved forward slowly, followed by dozens of carts, carrying all kinds of materials, and the carriages were followed by more than 400 people.

This is a village family member who migrated from Zhanjiang to Zhangjiacheng.

Zhangjiacheng's huge population lacks labor, swallowing the population of the surrounding counties.

Occupying the five major counties of the Leizhou Peninsula, the power of the imperial court was completely lost, and all that remained was the King of Caotou.

Several legions of the Volunteer Army operated on the Leizhou Peninsula, in addition to cleaning up the Caotou King, who was a fellow bandit, and the other task was to find the people of the Leizhou Peninsula and concentrate on Maoming County.

The population of this era is not like that of later generations, and the population of any city on the Leizhou Peninsula exceeds one million.

In the process of relocating the people, those who dared to stop the volunteers from moving the people were forcibly suppressed.

No matter which dynasty it is, the people face the army of weapons, and those who dare to resist belong to the minority.

The volunteers belong to the army, and there are not many people who dare to resist, and there are few casualties among the displaced people.

There were many landlords in the five county towns, among which the notorious landlords occupied a large proportion, and the notorious landlords were secretly cleaned up by the volunteers, and then did not know that the wealth accumulated for several generations was occupied by the volunteers.

Although there are few landlords who enjoy a good name, it is not nothing, and for this kind of landlords, gentry, Chen Zijian's attitude is to win over them and become his own people.

Wu Yongjie, as the patriarch of the Wu family in Zhanjiang, has a very high status in the clan, and the reason why everyone else is convinced by him is very simple, that is, a bowl of water is flat.

The volunteers went to Wujia Village to prepare to "kill pigs" to make money, and their intentions were obvious.

As a result, hundreds of people in Wujia Village stood up and stopped the volunteers.

In the past, the volunteers in other places raided the landlords, and in most cases, the people watched coldly, and some even led the way for the volunteers and found out the notorious landlords.

When I arrived in Wujia Village, it turned out to be a different result, and after some inquiry, the volunteers gave Wu Yongjie a pass and asked him to lead the people to Zhangjiacheng.

Either the whole village was tied up and went to Zhangjiacheng, or they took the initiative to go, and the third option was that the whole village would commit suicide, and the volunteers would not be able to control it.

It's better to die than to live, who is willing to commit suicide, as for wanting to escape to other places, the entire Leizhou Peninsula is occupied by the volunteers, where can you run?

The final result was that Wu Yongjie took the whole village over for the sake of his family.

"Grandpa, how long do we have to go!"

Wu Yongjie, as a clan elder, has a carriage to travel, of course, the horses are a few years old, and they can only be used as carriages, and they have no ability to go to the battlefield.

If it is a good and strong horse, it will definitely not be able to keep it, and the Volunteers will certainly not have a strong gun, but spend money to buy it for sure.

There were already few horses in the southern region, and ordinary people who had horses would be requisitioned. The will of the army and the people have no way to resist.

"Come on, don't worry, although I'm a little tired all the way down, this food is really good, and the old man can be regarded as a good eater in his old age."

I have to say that in order to ensure that the immigration process leads to the problem of eating for the people, every time they eat, the people can only eat so well during the Chinese New Year.

There is no comparison, and the ordinary food here in the volunteers is better than what they eat during the New Year, so that the grievances of the forcibly relocated people are greatly reduced.

Of course, the outsiders don't know the benefits of Zhangjiacheng, otherwise where the volunteers need to be forcibly relocated, it is enough to make children read and write enough to make the people in a radius of 500 miles take the initiative to come.

It's a pity that information communication is slow in this era, and it really depends on word-of-mouth to let the people take the initiative, maybe it will take a year or two, and Chen Zijian will not wait for such a precious time.

Despite being forced to come, the group from Wujiacun went to Zhangjiacheng smoothly along the way, passing through seven or eight places called service areas by volunteers.

After resupplying in the service area, nothing else happened along the way, except for a little hard work.

In the past, there were still many grass kings, bandits and the like on the Leizhou Peninsula, and the volunteers must have cleaned up on the Leizhou Peninsula during this time.

As a result, there were many bandits on the Leizhou Peninsula, and the bandits disappeared, and they didn't dare to stay on the Leizhou Peninsula at all.

You must know that the Leizhou Peninsula belongs to the area where the imperial court exiles sinners, and there are countless bandits and bandits who are notorious. After being swept away by the volunteers, the bandits were either ruthlessly cleaned up by the volunteers, or they fled away and fled into Guangxi.
