Chapter 188: Start Building Roads, Legion of Eternal Martyrs (Subscription Requested)
Since that day Chiling rice was promoted in Donghai Prefecture, in just three days, Chiling rice seeds began to be sold in major counties.
Because of the number of seeds in the early stage, the price will be relatively expensive, and there will be a limit, and there is a limit to how much each family can buy, and it is not allowed to buy more.
If anyone asks someone to buy more, as long as someone reports it, then the family that asked for it will be disqualified to buy the first batch of seeds, and the red rice seeds that have been purchased will be attributed to the person who reported it, and if it is later found to have retaliated against the whistleblower, then the government will severely punish it.
This is also to prevent people from maliciously buying seeds, hoarding Chiling rice, and then selling it at a high price, this is not impossible, as long as those businessmen can make money, they can think of any way, so Du Ruhui came up with this method to curb it.
Although the malicious purchase of seeds was curbed, the seeds that Du Ruhui had hoarded after special methods were sold out in just five days, and the shops selling seeds did not stop for a moment until all the seeds were sold.
Because there are not many seeds in the early stage, they are currently only sold in the county town, which has been notified in advance, so many people in small towns or towns will go to the county town to buy seeds, resulting in all the county towns in Donghai Prefecture starting to be crowded in the past few days.
Nowadays, there are still many people who have not bought seeds, Du Ruhui had to send people everywhere to comfort, saying that the next batch of seeds will be cultivated soon, so that everyone should not worry, even if they buy back the seeds now, they can't plant Chiling rice immediately, and they have to take four months of growth cycle.
That's right, the normal growth cycle of Chiling rice is four months, of course, this is under normal circumstances, if you spend spirit stones to cultivate, then this time can be shortened, and the shortest can be matured in two months.
Du Ruhui's seeds were all quickly cultivated by spending a lot of spirit stones, otherwise they would not have been purchased by the people at all.
Although the people know that this red spirit rice needs four months to mature, it does not hinder their hearts to buy, buy back, plant it, look at it every day, look forward to it, it is also a kind of happiness!
Of course, in addition to Chiling rice, cotton has also begun to be sold, but there are not many people who buy it, most of them are bought by wealthy families or businessmen, and the number of purchases is not much.
After arranging the matter of Chiling rice and cotton, Du Ruhui also began to prepare to pave the road with cement.
As for the railroad tracks, Du Ruhui thought about it again and again, and decided to build it after the cement road was repaired, because although the iron is enough, it will take a lot of time to forge the iron and then make it look like the rails, and it has not yet been completed.
In the past two months, Du Ruhui has also built a lot of cement factories and produced a large amount of cement, which can quickly solidify and form hard concrete as long as water, sand and gravel are mixed at that time.
But this kind of work of paving roads with cement requires a lot of labor, and there is no way, so Du Ruhui has to start recruiting workers in Donghai Prefecture, which is not short of labor, and most people need to get money through labor.
Therefore, after the news of Du Ruhui's recruitment spread, nearly 100,000 laborers were recruited on the same day, which surprised Du Ruhui.
At present, Du Ruhui only plans to recruit 300,000 people to build roads, because there are only so many cements, and there are not many roads to be built, so only need to build some official roads in the early stage.
"Hey, why did you say that Lord Zhou Mu recruited so many young people?"
Not far from an official road planned by Du Ruhui, there are a large number of people gathering, all of whom are the people of Donghai Prefecture, and they are basically all young and middle-aged.
"I don't know, but I know that Lord Zhou Mu is a good person, and he will definitely not treat the people of our Donghai Prefecture badly, so as soon as I heard that Lord Zhou Mu was recruiting, I came. ”
"Cut, who doesn't know that Lord Governor is very good to the people, but aren't you curious?"
"Not curious. ”
Just as some people were whispering and discussing with each other, a convoy came in the distance, and these convoys were carrying countless sacks, and they didn't know what they contained, which aroused the curiosity of the people standing on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of the state pastor to gather everyone here is to repair the road, and now that the materials for building the road have arrived, I will operate it a few times in the future, you all see it clearly, don't make a mistake at that time. ”
One of the leading non-commissioned officers then lifted a sack in the rear, then opened it and poured it to the ground, all of which was some grayish-white powder, that is, cement.
After that, the non-commissioned officer made a pit in the middle of a pile of cement on the ground, found some sand from a distance, and put it in the cement pit, poured water into it, stirred it with a stick, and waited until it was finished.
The non-commissioned officer took it out, smeared it on the side of the road paved with small stones, and after a while, the cement dried, and an otherworldly version of the concrete road was formed.
"Do you understand? You will all have to build the road like I did, double the original official road, and then smear it with this cement, and as for the sand and water, someone will take you to get it. ”
After those people saw the operation of the non-commissioned officer, although they didn't know what the meaning was, at least they knew what to do, and they also knew that it was to build roads and be beneficial to Donghai Prefecture, so they shouted one after another: "Knowing my lord, we will definitely do a good job." ”
......
Not to mention, Donghai Prefecture is engaged in large-scale construction.
Great Chu, East Yuzhou, Yonghui Army Station.
At this time, there were suddenly a lot more soldiers, and when I looked closely, I found that these newly added soldiers were not from the Yonghui Legion, but from another legion.
In the big tent, Jin Zunye was talking to a general in armor.
"Brother He, have you all adjusted your Eternal Martyr Legion?"
After all, the Yonglie Legion participated in the war with the Ogre Country before, although it was not the main force, but it also suffered some losses, and Jin Zunye didn't want the Yonglie Legion to come in a damaged state this time.
When He Yan heard this, he said with a smile: "Brother Jin, don't worry, our Yonglie Legion has completed the replenishment of soldiers, and now it is in a full state, otherwise it would not have been delayed until now." ”
After speaking, he continued: "How is the situation between your side and Great Xia now?"
Jin Zunye smiled bitterly: "The situation is not good, during this period of time, our two legions only dare to harass on a small scale, and do not dare to invest too many troops, the two legions that are currently defending us are very strong, and we are not opponents." ”
"Oh, it's true, is the other party really that strong?"
He Yan thought that Jin Zunye was exaggerating before, but now that he heard Jin Zunye say this, he had to think deeply, after all, this thing can't deceive people, as long as he goes to the battlefield casually, he can know the truth or falsehood.
So the result is that what Jin Zunye said is the truth, and Great Xia did send two strong legions over.
"Could it be the Xia Wu Legion of Great Xia?"
"No, the one defending our Yonghui Legion is called the Shengwu Legion, and the one on the Yongxin Legion is called the Mingwu Legion, I heard that it is the current Xia Huang's newly established legion. ”
"Just founded? This can't be!"
He Yan shook his head and said in denial.
You must know that although their Yonglie Legion ranks higher than the Yonghui Legion, the strength is not too far behind, with Jin Zunye's statement just now, maybe the legion on the other side is no worse than his own Yonglie Legion, to say that this kind of legion has just been established, He Yan does not believe it.
Jin Zunye also sighed: "I don't believe it either, but the intelligence does show that the current Xia Emperor set up four legions soon after ascending the throne, namely Shengwu, Mingwu, Tianwu, and Hanwu, among which Shengwu and Mingwu are on our side, and Tianwu and Hanwu heard that they were sent to the southern barbarians." ”
"Four legions, and two of them were sent to the Manxia Junction?"
"Yes. ”
"Do you know the strength of those two legions?"
"I don't know, they haven't made a move, but it shouldn't be strong, it's impossible for Great Xia to suddenly have so many elite soldiers, and the two legions on our side at present must be their secret heritage. ”
He Yan also nodded, he didn't believe that Great Xia could come up with four such powerful legions at once, these two legions must already be the foundation of Great Xia.
Then He Yan asked with a solemn face, "When will the Eternal Night Legion arrive?"
Jin Zunye also said in a deep voice with a straight face: "I don't know this, only when they contact me, I can know where they are, I can't contact them." ”
He Yan was silent, indeed, this is the style of the Eternal Night Legion, this is also the style of the first three legions of Great Xia, only they contact others, no one else contacts him, even if they are contacted, people may not necessarily reply, it is so arrogant.
"By the way, what did the barbarians say?"
When Jin Zunye heard this, he said with a smile: "The barbarian side has already agreed to cooperate, and has gathered an army of one and two hundred thousand, ready to set off to the border at any time, when the time comes, as soon as our side attacks, that side will also start to attack, which will definitely make Great Xia suffer heavy losses." ”
"Hmm. ”
He Yan nodded, and didn't say anything, since it has been negotiated, then now wait for the Eternal Night Legion to be in place, otherwise with just their three legions, they may not be able to defeat the four legions of Great Xia on the opposite side.
And at this time, the Holy Warrior Legion was stationed.
Yue Fei was looking at the information in his hand with a solemn face, and Zhang Liao and several other generals were also there.
After reading the information, Yue Fei said slowly: "There is a new legion over there in Dachu, called the Yonglie Legion, which is now stationed in the station of the Yonghui Legion in the Eastern Imperial Prefecture, and the strength of this Yonglie Legion is heard to be much more powerful than the Yonghui Legion." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Liao smiled and said: "That's the best, otherwise the Yonghui Legion alone won't be enough for us to fight, but why didn't this Yonghui Legion appear on the battlefield?"
Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "This is also a point that I am worried about, according to intelligence, Da Chu not only sent the Eternal Lie Legion to come, but also sent the Eternal Night Legion, one of their three trump cards, but now the Eternal Night Legion has not arrived, so they have not launched an attack yet." ”
"Legion of the Eternal Night?"
"Yes, I heard that it is one of the most powerful legions in Dachu, and once defeated 800,000 barbarian troops with the strength of one legion. ”
"Oh, that's really good. ”
Yue Fei nodded, although he was very confident in his Saint Martial Legion, since the Eternal Night Legion was famous, then he would also fight with him with a twelve-point spirit.
