Chapter 81: Return to Fuxi Town
Monday, December 7, the first year of China.
On this day, Li Kang ordered the general calendar of the 16 countries in Hedong to be fully promoted in the two towns and three camps under the jurisdiction of Huaxia, and on this basis, the concept of the week was supplemented, stipulating that there were seven days per week, the first day was Monday, the second day was Tuesday, and so on, but the seventh day was not called the seventh day of the week, but was called Sunday or Sunday.
The calendar promotion day is the Monday.
The Chinese people once again have a new calendar, bidding farewell to the ignorant time of counting one day at a time, which makes people very excited, because in the short term, they do not have to worry about having nothing to talk about after dinner.
After promulgating the calendar, Li Kang went non-stop to attend the completion ceremony of the first cement road in Xin'an Town, Center Street.
The reason why this 500-foot-long cement road has been delayed until now is that Li Kang was dissatisfied with Yu Wenkai's 'petty family's temperament, and took it upon himself to cut off half of the width of the last 300 feet and widen it to the same level as the previous 200 feet, which extended the construction period to this day.
If Yu Wenkai knew what Li Kang was saying about him in his heart, he would definitely vomit blood in depression, when the road was first repaired, how could he know that there would be so much more cheap labor later?
However, with the influx of indigenous laborers into the Chinese-controlled areas except for Fuxi Town, Li Kang's food pressure increased dramatically.
Although it is possible to black-heartedly deny food to the natives, it is impossible to support the natives from having too many! Relying on the pitiful daily output of the gold mining areas alone, it is no longer enough to make ends meet.
In fact, this is also to blame Huaxia for his own death, who let them taste the sweetness of flickering, fooling the natives to not make drafts at all, and not knowing how to converge to advertise everywhere, but the brand was played, but the effect of Huaxia was unexpected.
Through the word of mouth of the natives, the phrase 'you can go to Xin'an Town without worrying about eating and drinking' spread among the nearby tribes, and what is even worse is that most of the natives actually believe it.
As a result, at the beginning, the Huaxia military's 'recruitment' operation would encounter some tribal resistance, but gradually the armed resistance disappeared, and was replaced by the 'mouth cannon' tactic, mainly because the natives wanted to determine whether the 'high treatment' offered by the Huaxia people was as true as the rumors, and the Huaxia army could only patiently explain.
In the end, even the 'mouth cannon' was gone, and the natives opened the gate of the village early, 'eating pot pulp to welcome the king', which made the Huaxia army who came afterwards cry and laugh, and even more, in some remote areas, the Huaxia army did not think about going to the place at all, and some tribesmen spontaneously formed a team to rush to Xin'an Town to 'work'.
As a result, the Huaxia Army's 'recruitment' action really evolved into a recruitment action, and the Huaxia Army, which was originally armed suppression, could only be reduced to the point of armed deterrence, and in the end it became the workers' escort, which made a large number of soldiers who wanted to make meritorious contributions to the 'sister' quite unhappy, and some of the bad-tempered people were even clamoring for the thorny tribe to not be provoked- Not all tribes are facing the threat of starvation, but the results of this recruitment have greatly exceeded the expectations of Li Kang and others, and some small disharmony, Li Kang is too lazy to trouble them again, so he should be kind.
The officers and men of the Huaxia Army were unhappy, but they still didn't dare to disobey the military order, so they had to be honest guards.
However, in the face of the 'proud' achievements of the Huaxia army, the top management of Huaxia was worried and happy.
Food is what they are most worried about, but the cowhide has been blown out, why can't it be stuffed back again?
Therefore, Li Kang had the idea of going to Fuxi Town again, and it just so happened that Zhao Guo sent someone to ask Li Kang to send him more manpower a few days ago, which made Li Kang make up his mind.
On December 8 of the first year of Huaxia, the road repair team turned to the vigorous tide of building embankments and sluices, and Li Kang took the guards to embark on the road to Fuxi Town again, and on the 12th, Li Kang arrived at Fuxi Town.
"See the lord!"
In the brand-new town hall of Fuxi Town, Zhao Guo, the mayor of Fuxi Town, Gao Chu, the reserve official, Zhou Bi, the second tuntun chief, and Hu Zhibin, the deputy tun chief, rushed to the town hall to meet after receiving the news of Li Kang's arrival.
"No courtesy, sit down!" After days of hurrying, Rao Yi Li Kang's current physique suddenly felt tired.
"Thank you, lord!"
"These days, I have worked hard for you!" Li Kangqiang cheered up and said, "Along the way, the development of Fuxi Town is obvious to all, which shows that you have lived up to my expectations, and I am very satisfied!"
Come on, there is no need to say anything, Li Kang's words are more effective than anything else.
The four of them were immediately overjoyed, and they all humbled their words, saying, 'Where the duty lies, it should be so'.
Li Kang smiled and said, "No one can deny your credit, excessive modesty is pride!"
"Hehehe..." The four laughed dryly twice, but did not answer.
"But... If anyone is on a vegetarian diet, then no one can save him!"
"Subordinates, remember the teachings of the Lord!"
"Okay, this is just a precautionary shot, you just need to keep it in mind. As long as I do my duty, I know it in my heart, and I will not hesitate to reward. Appropriate admonition is still necessary, but Li Kang does not intend to say more in this regard, after saying this, he changed the topic and began to listen to the work reports of several people.
In fact, Li Kang has only been away from Fuxi Town for about 20 days, and there is not much new to report, nothing more than how many fortresses have been built, how long ditches have been dug, how many embankments have been repaired, how long roads he plans to build, how many acres of farmland have been reclaimed, and so on.
But one of the news that caught Li Kang's attention was that Fuxi Town had finally been discovered by the nearby indigenous tribes, although it was only a matter of time.
However, this only made Li Kang slightly interested, with the large-scale construction of the fortress, not only Li Kang, but even the ordinary people of Fuxi Town no longer regarded the natives as much of a threat, and there was no need to walk on thin ice as at the beginning.
Therefore, after Li Kang heard it, he just said 'um', saying that he knew, and then sent the four of them to retreat, and did not discuss everything on the spot, he was too tired and wanted to rest well.
Early the next morning, after a night of recovery, Li Kang returned to his peak state and was refreshed.
After breakfast, Li Kang would rush to Zhao Guo and the others who were waiting for the dispatch in the same morning, and go straight to the alchemy room.
The alchemy room is not a place where the group of alchemists with special quirks on the fantasy side stay, but just a literal place to smelt gold.
According to Li Kang's instructions before leaving, the screened golden sands were sent to the alchemy room to be smelted into gold nuggets, and in order to facilitate future recycling, Li Kang also specially instructed them to melt the gold nuggets as large as possible.
It's just that...
Looking at the huge gold nuggets neatly stacked in the alchemy room's warehouse, with a cubic foot (cubic meter) in size, the corners of Li Kang's mouth twitched.
[This Nima is a gold nugget, it is clearly a gold stone!]
In other words, what Li Kang said at the beginning was as big as possible, and it was only as big as the red turn, but I didn't expect that these guys were much more courageous than Li Kang.
