Chapter 70: Embankment Repair, Expedition, Fortress
At present, there are a total of 1,528 people in the two towns of Xin'an and Fuxi under Li Kang's jurisdiction, including 661 people in the army - the number of people has reached 1,000, the army has reached 500, and the title has been promoted to doctor, so that the system has unlocked the exchange qualifications for three new items (hemp plants, Mo knives, and bloodstone products) one after another - this is the result of Li Kang's hard work for one hundred and forty-five days - equivalent to one hundred and eighty-one days on the earth - which is indeed a bit insufficient.
But Li Kang is also very helpless, at present, there is no foundation in Huaxia, food, building materials, weapons, clothing, 'luxury goods', etc., all have to rely on Li Kang to summon, gold is consumed like flowing water, and there is very little part that can be used to summon the population. Therefore, only when he can barely be self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation, can Li Kang free up gold for a 'population explosion'.
Direct summoning can only increase slowly, and it is not surprising that Li Kang thought of going out to find free population.
Thinking of this, Li Kang had a plan in his heart, and said: "Dafu, the road construction is already on the right track, you don't need to look at it, hand it over to the deputy, from today on, you are responsible for the embankment work on both sides of the river, and take advantage of the dry season in winter, at least build the embankment within four kilometers from the town." ”
"Uh..."Wang Dafu was stunned for a moment, but the matter of the river embankment had already been mentioned, and now Li Kang mentioned it not very abruptly, "The subordinates obey the order! It will take ten days for the road repair team to be free, that... Can we move up the mine?"
"You're really going to climb up the pole!" Li Kang said amusedly, pointing at him.
"So, the lord agreed?" Wang Dafu licked his face and leaned over and sneered.
"Don't even think about it!" Li Kang mercilessly dispelled someone's delusions, and then, he said to the only deacon of the Coordination Division present: "Does the Coordination Division have detailed information about the indigenous tribes within a hundred miles of us?"
Zhi Jing didn't expect Li Kang to suddenly ask him, he was only going to bring two ears, but since the lord asked, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, although the Coordination Department doesn't dare to say that he knows 100%, he still knows." But... This time, many people fled from the indigenous coalition army, and the news of the coalition's defeat must inevitably spread, I wonder if those tribes moved some of them after hearing the news?"
Zhi Jing was right, but Li Kang was not surprised, in other words, Li Kang didn't care about the rout fleeing, one was as he said before, he was not afraid of retaliation, and the other was that he needed these rout soldiers to spread the 'mighty and ferocious' of the Huaxia Army in Xin'an Town, so that other indigenous tribes who also had similar ideas could weigh it.
Instead of letting others love, it is better to let others be afraid!
This is Li Kang's positioning for the survival of Huaxia in this world in the future.
"Don't worry about that. Li Kang said calmly, even if a tribe moves away, there will always be tribes that don't believe in evil, don't care, or haven't heard the news at all, and this number will still account for the majority.
"Zhenqi, the soldiers should have no problem going out in winter, right?"
"I'm waiting for the lord's order!" replied Ping Zhenqi with a solemn face, without any bells and whistles.
But the more concise Ping Zhenqi said, the more satisfied Li Kang became. He is not worried at all that the winter expedition will affect morale, and after the news of the blind date meeting after the meeting spreads, he guarantees that those guys are eager to go out immediately, and the morale cliff will rise like chicken blood, for the sake of sexual happiness in the future, the wind and snow are not a thing.
And Li Kang didn't mean to toss them, it is also beneficial to go out in winter, because the winter is cold and wild prey is relatively scarce, unless the tribes are forced by hunger - just like the 16 tribes that participated in the indigenous coalition this time - otherwise most of them will be in the nest and will not go out easily, so the frequency of communication between the tribes will be relatively reduced, and it will become an 'island', which is greatly conducive to the concealment of the whereabouts of the expeditionary troops, and the tribe that can be undisturbed to the greatest extent can pull out one tribe after another.
"Well, that's good!" Li Kang said, "Zhijing, remember to tell Zhenqi what you know after the meeting." Zhenqi, can the embankment be built, can all kinds of ores be mined quickly, and can the roads be built one by one...... The labor shortage in Xin'an Town will depend on your results!"
"The subordinates will not let the lord down!" Ping Zhenqi said solemnly, his eyes flashing with excitement, even the generals such as Zhang Gui and Yao Fei around him were also excited.
"Besides, a similar situation like being beaten to the city by someone else is enough once. Li Kang then said in a deep voice, and then began to peddle his 'fortress defense system', "This time, the three fortresses in the north have a very good effect, so that the enemy must not act rashly, and should be vigorously promoted, west-northwest-north-northeast, all must be fully rolled out, when the fortress defense circle can effectively ensure our core security, we will turn defense into attack, relying on it to encroach on the surrounding land step by step, where the so-called fortress is built, where is our territory, and all the obstacles ...... Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. ”
The domineering agitation is really exciting, and it makes a group of martial artists excited, for military generals, they just like Li Kang, a boss with energy.
Of course, the literati were a little unimpressed, for them, the fortress defense circle or something might really be useful, maybe it could really achieve the result envisioned by Li Kang, but so what, what about the people? What about the money? It is also the construction of embankments, roads, houses, and farming, as for the fortress, it is okay to build two or three small fights, and the large-scale extravagance is purely conjecture, and it is an expression of the lord's great success.
"Lord..."Yu Wenkai just wanted to give a negative example of his former boss Yang Guang, but was interrupted by the current boss Li Kang waving his hand.
"I know what you mean! Don't worry, I haven't swelled yet!" Li Kang said with some embarrassment, "We can't compare to those lessons from the past, and we don't even have the capital to squander." The matter of the fortress is just an idea, and the rules are set first, and then you can do it later. I'm not a quick winner. ”
"My subordinates are ashamed..."Yu Wenkai was also a little embarrassed, and said abruptly. And the people who thought the same way as him also showed shame, and although they didn't say anything, they all bowed slightly to apologize.
"It's okay! You have this idea, but it makes me feel happy, dare to point out the mistakes of the lord, so that the lord will not make a big mistake, and ensure the favorable development of the country, this is the quality of a loyal minister, and you are my loyal minister, a loyal minister of China. Li Kang said 'affectionately', his words were sincere, and he couldn't find a flaw.
Sure enough, Li Kang's words made a group of 'loyal people' very useful, and their eyes were red with emotion, and they couldn't help themselves, and they shouted polite words such as "this is the duty of a minister".
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "The so-called 'gentleman is virtuous'." It is precisely because of the wisdom and martial arts of the lord that there are all the people in the Ying Dynasty today, which is really the blessing of my Chinese eternal life!"
"What Lord Qi said is extreme..."
"Lord Shengming!"
"Lord Shengming!"
“......”
In Li Kang's stunned, everyone either actively or passively shouted "Lord Shengming".
Li Kang wordlessly waved his hand to suppress everyone's slapping behavior and ended the meeting.
At the same time, Yang Pingwei and his party, who were thousands of miles away in the western atonement wilderness, had fought many times... Oh no, after much inquiry, a breakthrough has finally been made.
