Chapter Twenty-Three: Xiongguan Dangerous City Jingyuan
Zheng Jue rode a horse and walked in the wilderness outside Jingyuan City, looking at the busy farmers in the rice fields with smiles on their faces, and several small tributaries of the Pearl River came out of the vicinity, some water-powered mills were built, water-powered cars, and some soldiers were guarding near the cars, as if it was not a military disaster for many years, but like a peaceful and prosperous era, Zheng Jue walked and walked, and suddenly felt that the sound of horses' hooves came from his feet, and looked down, it turned out that the cement road under his feet had become Jingyuanwei, Zheng Jue had arrived at the city gate, Looking at the three big characters of Jingyuan City written by Steward Wang on the high city wall and Zheng Jue's signature shamelessly hanging behind, Zheng Jue was not convinced that this was Jingyuan City until this moment
Zheng Jue rode home alone, no one was notified along the way, only himself, the construction of Jingyuan City is almost finished, the road surface is all smooth cement road, the carriages on the road are also four-wheeled carriages, occasionally there are some two-wheeled carriages from Wuzhou and the surrounding cities walking on the road, although shops have been built on the roadside, but they have not been completely sold, and now the housing prices in Jingyuan City have been speculated to an amazing level, so high that Zheng Jue dare not imagine
Yes, in a troubled era, a strong city, and a strong army, the two characteristics are enough to attract a large number of businessmen to move in, but when Zheng Jue planned, he did not build a relatively large area of residential areas, and Jingyuan City, which was supported by developed transportation and a small area of residential areas, could maximize the utilization rate and accommodate more people
At present, except for two landmark buildings in Jingyuan City, most of the other buildings have been completed, Zheng Jue's position in the center of Jingyuan, modeled after the Pentagon of the Ministry of Defense of a certain country in later generations, built a large shopping mall, because the height of the city wall of Jingyuan City is limited and cannot be built too high
The other is Zheng Jue's new guard, which can completely accommodate Zheng Jue's subordinates into a nine-storey high-rise building built of steel and cement, due to technical reasons, the design is modeled on the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but this one is straight, this building is near the two mountains in Jingyuan City, otherwise once the war starts, this guard will directly become a target and train artillery hands
But the few sets of "big houses" in Jingyuan City must have the mansions of several of their brothers, and when planning, the brothers deliberately zoned the mansions very close, just on the side of the mountain, a small stream was left from the mountain, the scenery is beautiful, and these houses have been almost repaired before Zheng Jue left, so Zheng Jue
Zheng Jue looked at the Ningyuan City built in front of him, Zheng Jue didn't know that the speed was so high after Shimo brought back those Portuguese instructors and missionaries
Not long after Zheng Jue left, Sun Kewang's army went south, this time it was really Sun Kewang, Guilin City was broken without suspense, Cao Ye directly did not defend it, and withdrew to Wuzhou with more than 20,000 troops around Guilin, fortunately, Sun Kewang's army turned around and went to Guizhou, but it was so frightened, Steward Wang hired tens of thousands of farmers to build it so quickly
The weights and measures in the workshop are all accurate to the millimeter, the quality of Jingyuan's firearms has been greatly improved, Zheng Jue saw that there were many recruits in the school yard who were training, it seemed that this Jingyuan City was run by a few of them
After Zheng Jue returned home, he first notified Steward Wang, and then notified the brothers who were leading the troops, and it was inevitable that he would get drunk all night that night, but only from here did Zheng Jue feel at home
That night, Steward Wang told Zheng Jue that when the batch of wheat was planted, the farmers were stunned, they didn't expect the harvest to be so good, and it spread like this, and the promotion was easy to push, Zheng Jue saw that it was the second season of grain that was completely promoted in the health center, and now the grain in the granary is piled up, there are 300,000 quintals, Zheng Jue calculated that the yield per mu is about 1,000 catties, and in this era, it is also amazing
Zheng Jue looked at the mountains of grain, and his face bloomed with joy, these grains are the biggest weapon to defend the city in the future
Zheng Jue wandered around the city for a few days, did not manage the military affairs in the army, Zheng Jue was still a literati, listening to the insects and birds in the mountains, watching the murmuring of the streams in the forest, after a few days of hermit, Zheng Jue really wanted to be like this for the rest of his life, just when Zheng Jue almost forgot that it was 1645, when the Ming and Qing dynasties were in flames, the person who reminded him came
The name of the person who came, Zheng Jue, was really startled when he saw it - Li Guo, this Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, before the fall of Wuchang, Li Guo led more than 100 cavalry to break through, he knew that Wuchang could not hold it, and the Dashun army was going to fight guerrilla again, fortunately, Li Zicheng had the habit of laying eggs, buried a part of the gold and silver in Hunan, Li Guo took it out, and took hundreds of horsemen south to buy food
As long as there is food, although Li Zicheng can't last long, but it is no problem to go around with the Qing army in Hubei for a while, when Li Guo was looking for food everywhere, he heard that Wuzhou had a bumper grain harvest last year, and the grain in the granary was full, and he originally wanted to go to Zhu Zhijian, but after inquiry, he knew that it was a good seed for the newly opened fertile land of the Wei Institute, so Li Guo could only come to Zheng Jue
Zheng Jue ordered to open the city gate overnight and let Li Guo enter the city, Li Guo also knew each other very well, and he entered Jingyuan City alone
Zheng Jue wants to sell, but he doesn't want to sell seeds, he just wants to buy grain, so he wants to see what kind of price Li Guo can offer
Late at night, the lights in Zheng's mansion suddenly became bright, and a team of personal soldiers with knives came out to guard the surrounding key points
"Lord Zheng, we Dashun want to buy some of your grain, let's talk" Li Guo didn't want to delay time, the ghost knew that Li Zicheng still had enough to eat for a few days
"Since General Li is so happy, then I, Zheng, am not pretentious, can I buy three taels of silver and a load?" Zheng Jue gritted his teeth and opened a price that he thought was very high
"Buy, how much do you want" Zheng Jue was directly stunned, he was ready to bargain with Li Guo, but he didn't expect Li Guo to be so happy, Zheng Jue regretted it a little, looking at Li Guo like that, Zheng Jue would not hesitate to agree even if he said six taels of silver and a load of Li Guo just now
"Okay, General Li is really heroic, how about this Jingyuan City sell you 200,000 quintals of grain?" Li Guo was taken aback by the 200,000 quintals, but he didn't expect that this barren land in Guangxi would be good to collect tens of thousands of quintals, and he actually collected 200,000 quintals
What Li Guo didn't know was that Steward Wang had built a large number of water conservancy projects, and Zheng Jue had left some fertilizer formulas when he left, so that the grain yield was so high
"Okay, Lord Zheng is so cool, I, Li, will make a friend of Mr. Zheng, and I hope that Mr. Zheng will not dislike Mr. Li" Li Guo looked at Zheng Jue with a strange expression, Li Guo also knew that the price of food was not so high, but there was no place to buy so much food, after all, Li Zicheng was about to run out of food, and he wanted to make Zheng Jue a friend, he felt that Zheng Jue was not simple, and it would become a big thing in time
