After Zhou Chong and the three of them inspected the military academy, they did not go back to Songjiang directly, but went to the northeast of Songjiang Mansion, that is, the direction of the downtown area of Shanghai in the future, where there is still a piece of farmland and river beach, but now they are all requisitioned by the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, and the local people have also received enough compensation, Zhou Chong is ready to build a new city of Songjiang here, after all, the original old city of Songjiang is a little too far from the Yangtze River or the sea, which is not conducive to future development.

Songjiang New Town actually belongs to the jurisdiction of Shanghai County under the rule of Songjiang Prefecture, and Zhou Chong is also very nostalgic for the prosperous magic capital of later generations, so he named this new city directly as Shanghai, which is also the first time that Shanghai was officially established as a city, Zhou Chong as the builder of Shanghai, and was also written into the history of later generations.

For this new city under construction of Shanghai, Zhou Zhong also placed great hopes, and even in order to drive the development of the city, the newly built Governor's Mansion Yamen, according to the inspection of the Yamen and the political envoy Yamen are here, in addition to the Yangtze River estuary of the river beach, Zhou Zhong is also ready to spend great efforts to build several large-scale wharves, as long as the wharf is built, with the geographical location of Shanghai, the sea trade will definitely flourish, and then by the sea trade to develop the city, whether it is financial, material and human resources can be easily found, So now he only needs to get a few infrastructure in Shanghai New Town in order.

It's just that Shanghai New Town is not as good as a military school, after all, this is a real city, and the scale is far from being comparable to a military school, so when Zhou Zhong rushed to Shanghai New Town, he saw a busy construction site, and the laborers recruited from the vicinity were working hard to carry soil and stones under the command of craftsmen. Even in the cold winter. All of them were tired and sweating profusely. He was only wearing thin clothes, and he was not afraid of the cold winter wind.

For the construction of the city, Zhou Zhong is naturally a layman, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, as long as those craftsmen understand, these craftsmen are all transferred from the Ministry of Industry, and they are all figures with heads and faces in this industry, as long as they explain the matter to them. Then Zhou Zhong put forward the requirements of Xincheng, and they will naturally improve according to Zhou Chong's ideas.

So Zhou Chong came here not to see the craftsmen working, but to cheer up those craftsmen, and then check whether the diet on the construction site is clean, although pork and mutton can not be guaranteed every day, but the fish is very cheap, at least to ensure that the people who work can eat a fish every day, after all, they are all coolie people, and it is not easy to work in winter, so it must be guaranteed in terms of eating.

Zhou Chong's pro-people style was all learned from the news broadcasts of later generations. The officials there went to the countryside to offer condolences at every turn, although everyone knew that it was a show. But whether it is the person who condoles or the person who is condoled, it is a very deep appearance in the play, the person who condols is kind and kind, and the person who is condoled tears is in tears, and then the two sides clasp their hands, their eyes are speechless and choked.

In contrast, the people of the Ming Dynasty are obviously not as shrewd as the people of later generations, and it is the first time for them to face to face with a high-ranking official like Zhou Chong, so they are all grateful, and even have some swings all over their bodies, which is also a helpless thing, after all, the people who come to work are all Shengdou small people, and they are usually nervous when they see a lieutenant, let alone a high-ranking official like the governor.

In order not to disturb the craftsmen to work, Zhou Zhong can only go back casually, speaking of which this winter came early, and it is colder than before, and even freezes at night, which brings a lot of trouble to the construction of the new city, now can only pick some work that is not affected by the weather to do, the progress is very slow, and when the spring is warm next year, the people who work will have to go home for spring planting, so that the progress of the project will definitely be greatly affected, and the officials of the Governor's Office want to move to the new yamen office as soon as possible, Looks like we're going to have to find a way to solve this problem.

In fact, solving the above problem is very simple, Zhou Zhong has already thought of it on the construction site, but some details are not very clear, so he needs to find someone who understands and asks.

In the old house of the Zhou family in Songjiang Mansion, that is, in the temporary governor's palace of Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong asked the middle-aged man in front of him: "An Liang, now that North Korea has gradually calmed down, and the people who migrated to the Ming Dynasty have also gained a firm foothold there, I just heard that the original Koreans seem to be a little dissatisfied with the Han people who migrated in the past, and there are often Koreans who gather together to make trouble, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

The middle-aged man in front of Zhou Chong was the former leader of the Ping An Army, Li Anliang, Zhou Chong secretly controlled the Ping An Army to pacify the civil strife in Korea, and then used Li Anliang's name to propose internal attachment to the Ming Dynasty, as a result, now Korea has become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and countless Han people have migrated there, and at the same time, Li Anliang was also named the Marquis of Goryeo by Zhengde, and then was assigned to the governor's palace of Zhou Chong to obey orders.

"Lord Qiqi, originally most of the Korean people wanted to be attached to the Ming Dynasty, after all, so that they would get the food relief from the Ming Dynasty, but after those Koreans were full, they were dissatisfied with the Han people who migrated over to occupy their land, so there was a conflict, and now the imperial court has sent troops to suppress it several times, and at the same time, the imperial court is also ready to move the original Korean people to the Ming Dynasty, and then they will live scattered, and these Koreans will not be able to set off any storms!" Li Anliang ostensibly held an idle post in the Governor's Palace, but in fact he was always paying attention to the situation in Korea and Liaodong, which was also a task assigned to him by Zhou Chong.

"Well, just sending troops to suppress ammunition will definitely cause problems, and moving inside is a good way, but I already have enough people in Daming, and if I move in these North Koreans again, I'm afraid it will only increase the pressure on the country." Zhou Zhong paused here when he said this, and then said, "But I have a good solution, the progress of the new Shanghai New City in our Governor's Palace is slow, and we are facing a shortage of labor after the beginning of spring, so what do you think if we recruit some people from North Korea to work here?" ”

Hearing that Zhou Chong wanted to recruit workers from North Korea, Li Anliang's eyes immediately lit up and said: "My lord, this method is good, although there are many people in the Ming Dynasty, most of them only look at the harvest in the field, and they have to go home to work every time they are busy with farming, only a little more idle in winter, but it is not suitable for building a city, if you can recruit some people to work in North Korea, first, it will ease the tension on the North Korean side, and secondly, those North Koreans have no land, so they can only work hard to earn food to support their families, and the progress of the project will definitely grow very quickly, this is a good way to kill two birds with one stone!" ”

Zhou Zhong proposed to let North Koreans work, which is indeed a good way for them to speed up the progress, but for those North Koreans, it is just the opposite, after all, people are good at farming in North Korea, but because of the needs of the Ming Dynasty, they were moved to Shanghai to work at the first order, and they worked hard every day, but they could only barely make ends meet, which naturally did not have the ease they had before.

Speaking of which, Li Anliang has lived in North Korea for ten years, and married a North Korean woman, and he is half a North Korean, but he did not hesitate at all, and even praised Zhou Chong's proposal, not because Li Anliang was unkind, but because he needed Zhou Chong's strong support in order to avenge his family, even if Zhou valued his own life in exchange, he would not hesitate, let alone North Korea.

Seeing that Li Anliang agreed with his idea without hesitation, Zhou Chong also smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, since you also agree to recruit North Koreans to work, and you are most familiar with the situation in North Korea, then this matter will be handed over to you, and I will have people transfer the required expenses to you, and when the spring comes, I will need at least 20,000 North Korean laborers!" ”

"Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely satisfy you!" Li Anliang also immediately gave up, although he has been responsible for paying attention to the movements of North Korea and Liaodong during this time, but he has no actual power to deal with affairs, and now Zhou Chongken is willing to send him an actual affairs, which makes him very excited.

Zhou Chong's use of people has always been a combination of grace and power, after assigning the next task to Li Anliang, he then gave a sweet date, I saw him smile and said: "Anliang, during this time, I allow you to use the strength of Jinyiwei, you should find out a lot about the situation of the Liaodong Jurchens, let's talk about it, do you have any thoughts about these Jurchens?" ”

Hearing Zhou Zhong ask about his revenge, Li Anliang was also shocked, but then said with some frustration: "Lord Qiyu, after the investigation of his subordinates during this time, it was found that the total number of Liaodong Jurchens is at least one million, and as for the murderer who killed my whole family, it is a certain branch of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but as for which Jurchens it is, because too much time has passed, and the Liaodong Jurchens have already done a lot of such things, so it can't be found out at all now." ”

When he said this, he saw Li Anliang take a long breath, and then laughed at himself and said: "Originally, I wanted to kill all the Jurchens to avenge the family, but there are so many Jurchens, it is not at all that they can be killed by killing, even if it is only one Jianzhou Jurchen, the number is more than 100,000, not to mention the greater number of Haixi Jurchens and Savage Jurchens." ”

Seeing that Li Anliang was a little discouraged, Zhou Zhong smiled and said: "Li Anliang, the number of Jurchens is too large, but the number of our Ming army is more, although I can't mobilize the Ming army to help you avenge for the time being, but it's not that there is no other way, for example, now, I have a way to help you take revenge, I don't know if you are willing to do it?" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Li Anliang was shocked again, and said with an excited expression: "My lord, please speak, as long as he can avenge the family, even if he is broken and enters the eighteenth layer of hell after death, An Liang is willing to do it!" (To be continued......)
