Chapter 116: A City Is Needed (May 30)
On the afternoon of March 10, the second batch of grain arrived at the wharf of Shennong Town.
Yang Pingwei was the first to get off the boat, did a set of chest expansion exercises, and then took a deep breath.
"Ahh It's still good air at home!"
"Hahaha... Then Lord Yang has to take a few more sips, a capable minister like Lord Yang, the lord is reluctant to let you be idle!" Zhao Siye, the mayor of Shennong Town, who rushed over after getting the news, heard Yang Pingwei's emotion from afar, and hurriedly laughed and stepped forward to quip.
"Hey, students are just running around, how can they compare with Lord Zhao. Yang Pingwei clenched his fists and saluted back.
"Those who can work hard!" Zhao Siye said with a smile, "Although we don't have to run around, it's not easy to go anywhere, everything is difficult at the beginning, and all trivial things come to you, sometimes I want to pick and choose!"
"Yes, only after I have done it myself, I know that it is not easy for herdsmen..."Yang Pingwei said, "Fang Weng Gong once said, 'What you get on paper is shallow in the end, and you must bow to it', which is really a good saying!
"Only those rotten Confucians believe it!" Zhao Siye threw the pot at the rotten Confucianism without hesitation, not remembering that he and his good friends were once one of them, "Before Zhao Pu said this, he had the confidence to travel thousands of miles!"
"Hehe... Let's stop chatting here, and tell us to unload!"
"That's good..."
......
Feng Wenhan guessed correctly, the Fei family could not suppress the forces of all parties in the Atonement City, and now their family has obtained a lot of benefits and weapons from Huaxia, although the others will not turn their faces, they still make some small moves, adding some small trouble to this transaction.
For example, releasing a mad dog that is kept outside to bite people can not only make trouble, but also test Huaxia's strength, even if it is lost, it will not be too distressing.
Of course, they certainly don't have the only means.
As a result, Huaxia Jun showed off his muscles with the help of these mad dogs.
After that, Duanmu Ci specially invited all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the City of Atonement to the office to discuss the distribution of goods (ordnance) for the next month, and during this period, Shan Cheng, who stayed in the City of Atonement, "accidentally" showed the breath of an innate powerhouse during the banquet, and those guests who were invited to come put the last bit of caution into their stomachs, and there was really no need to fight to the death with a force with a strong innate and powerful military for a little benefit.
Moreover, Huaxia does not have the idea of cultivating agents in the City of Atonement, business can be done with anyone, as long as food can be provided, goods can be obtained here in Huaxia.
In that case, no one wants to be bored.
......
"So, next month, there will be as many as nineteen great families transporting grain to us!" Li Kang looked at Yang Pingwei below with a smile on his face, and in the blink of an eye, the two had not seen each other for another month and a half.
"That's true!" Yang Pingwei said, "However, among the nineteen forces, most of them are small forces, and they just want to take this opportunity to make a small fortune, and they can't provide much food, and the total amount is less than a thousand bags every month, which is better than nothing." Our most important partners are the six forces, including the Fei family, each of which is likely to provide us with between 1,000 and 5,000 bags of grain every month. ”
Li Kang made a little silent calculation in his heart, and he had a rough result, and the result was very satisfactory to him, he smiled: "If it can really go as smoothly as you said, then from next month, we will be able to get close to 1,000 tons of grain every month, and according to our current population, the monthly food consumption is about 700 tons to 1,100 tons, plus the winter wheat is almost the time to harvest... Ah... A piece of heart disease can finally be put aside for a while. ”
"Lord, spring ploughing is coming, and the students think that it is best to summon more displaced people and strive to reclaim wasteland to the greatest extent..."
"This, how can I not know?" Li Kang rubbed his forehead and said, "It's just that I want to take a break, and I'm a little excited, don't worry, I'm not an easy person to be satisfied!"
"The lord is wise, and he is the heart of a student villain!"
"Well, it doesn't have to be like this! However, your Foreign Affairs Department must continue to work hard, and this achievement is not enough!" Li Kang said quietly, "For us, food will be in short supply for several years or even more than ten years in the future. ”
"Students understand!"
......
As the food continued to be transported back, Li Kang also began to recruit civilians one after another, but from now on, Li Kang did not plan to divert the population and establish new towns, nor did he share the profits to the towns that had already been built, but all of them were arranged in Xin'an Town, which was Li Kang's intention to enrich the population of the capital and prepare for the establishment of a city.
That's right, Li Kang feels that almost all the towns that are scattered now have a certain function, either next to the mines, or on the main roads, or used as bridgeheads, and there is no need to set up new towns for the time being.
It is just the right time to take the opportunity to "do it" and maintain the authority of the central government!
Moreover, Li Kang feels that Huaxia will not be able to hide for too long, and it is inevitable to welcome foreign guests, and a big city is urgently needed to support the scene!
The planning of the capital city, as early as when there was only one Xin'an Town, Li Kang discussed it with Yu Wenkai, but later there were too many things and it was put on hold.
Now Xin'an Town has only built two horizontal and one vertical, three main roads, and the total mileage is less than three miles, because the road repair team has focused on the traffic lines between towns during this time.
Now, Li Kang finally found the urban planning map designed with Yu Wenkai in the pile of old papers.
"An Le, hehe, you have to start preparing, there are big moves for you to do!" Li Kang said to Yu Wenkai with a smile.
Yu Wenkai saw the plan that Li Kang put on the desk from the moment he entered the door, and immediately guessed the purpose of Li Kang looking for him, and now it is true.
"My subordinates have been waiting for a long time!"
"That's good, but as you know, you won't be given too many people, but this time I can guarantee that the construction of the new city will not be interrupted until it is completed!"
"With the words of the lord, the subordinates will rest assured! There are few people, so you can use time to grind! I'm not in a hurry, a new city can't be built in a short time!" Yu Wenkai is in a good mood now, and some small flaws will not make him back down.
"That's right! With the increase in population, the city will inevitably spread around, and it is impossible to say that this city is happy and can be built for decades!" Li Kang said with a smile.
"Haha... That subordinate just won't have to worry about the work of the next ten years!" Yu Wenkai also laughed and made a little joke.
"Don't worry! If that's the case, I won't lose a dime of your salary!"
"Hehe... Can the subordinate dare to ask: Will the salary increase by then?"
"Well, how about a dime a month?" Li Kang said seriously.
