Chapter 144: Three Years (1)
Time flies by slowly, reluctant to give up day and night, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it is already March of the fifth year of China, and it has been more than four years since Li Kang crossed.
After three years of development, under the rule of Huaxia, it has five counties and 30 towns, with more than 100,000 entrances, reaching 124,000 people.
The county is the administrative unit at the higher level of the town, and with the increase of population, the continuous improvement of urban construction is the inevitable product of the emergence of the times.
At present, there are five counties in China, namely:
The original seven towns of Xin'an Town, Rongshu Town, Xuanyuan Town, Zhongni Town, Zhuan Town, Lingjun Town, and Mozhai Town plus the newly established Houji Town (located 20 miles northeast of Xin'an Town, on the edge of Xinqi Road, the name of the town comes from the son of the Emperor of Heaven, the god of agriculture), Wu'an Town (located on the east bank of the small river twenty miles north of Xin'an Town, the name of the town is taken from Wu'an Junbaiqi) composed of the capital Xin'an County (Xin'an Town, with a population of 62,000 people, accounting for more than half of the total population);
Shennong County (Shennong Town, with a population of more than 10,000) composed of the original Shennong Town, Qihuan Town, and Sanbao Town (the original No. 2 landing site, the name of the town is taken from the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He);
Fuxi County, which was composed of seven towns along the Jinhe River, including Fuxi Town, Xinling Town, Mengwei Town, Pingyuan Town, Chunshen Town, Taozhu Town, and Xiangao Town, was originally Fuxi Town (Fuxi Town, with a population of 36,000 people, is the second largest county);
The original Yiyin Town plus the newly established Zhuangzhou Town (twelve miles south of the Golden Lake, the name of the town is taken from Zhuangzi), Wuding Town (located on the southeast bank of the Golden Lake, where the main vein of the original Golden Clan is located, the name of the town is taken from Wuding of Shang Gaozong), Boyi Town (located on the east bank of the Golden Lake, the name of the town is taken from the son of the king of Guzhu, Boyi, who later died without eating Zhou Su), Shuqi Town (located in the sixteen miles north of the Golden Lake, the name of the town is taken from Shuqi, the son of the king of Guzhu, who died without eating Zhou Su) and other five towns in the Golden Lake area composed of Yiyin County (Yiyin Town, the county, with a population of 10,000);
It consists of Zihuan Town (located forty miles southwest of Zhongni Town, the name of the town is taken from Cao Pi of Emperor Wen of Wei), Mengde Town (located sixty miles southwest of Zhongni Town, the name of the town is taken from Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei), Zijian Town (located forty miles northeast of Xiangao Town, the name of the town is taken from Chen Siwang Cao Zhi) and other three towns along Zhongxian Road to form Mengde County (Mengde Town, with a population of 10,000).
In addition to these five counties, there are three independent towns, one is the town of Suwu (the name of the town is taken from the one who shepherded sheep in Su Wu) upgraded from the original No. 1 landing site, one is the Chenggong town on an island discovered (the name of the town is taken from Zheng Chenggong), and the other is the champion town changed from the military on the territory of the original Dashan clan (the name of the town is taken from the champion Hou Huo Quai).
If you take a bird's-eye view of China from the sky, you will find that the main territory of China is thick at both ends, thin in the middle, like a dumbbell, Zhongxian Road is the bar in the middle, Xin'an County, Shennong County and Fuxi County, Yiyin County serve as two ends respectively, lying on the earth in the southwest-northeast direction, and can take either end as a fulcrum at any time to sweep through.
......
The rapid development of land and population is naturally inseparable from the support of industry and agriculture, and at the same time, it also means the need for large-scale construction of infrastructure.
As far as agriculture is concerned, within three years, China has opened up a total of more than 250,000 mu of farmland, and the grain output has almost doubled compared with the first year.
But even so, Li Kang has never stopped importing grain to the Hedong region, he has always been a great admirer of extensive grain accumulation, and would rather put more grain into the warehouse and rot than be constrained by grain!
Of course, it is impossible for grain to rot in warehouses, because the population has never stopped.
In terms of industry, the development is greater, at least the glass that is about to become Li Kang's heart demon was made as early as two years ago, which is a big heart disease of Li Kang, and today, glassware has become another fist factory in China, which is exported to Hedong, and even sold to Hexi by Hedong merchants, which is quite sought after by the magnates of the two places.
In addition, Li Kang is not convinced, the technology is a cow, Zou Boqi used glass to make a telescope and a microscope, and the astronomer Li Shanlan, who was later summoned, directly built an astronomical telescope, Xu Shou, a chemist, since he was summoned, first on the basis of glass, used the silver mirror reaction to create a glass mirror, and then let Li Kang and many craftsmen be at a loss for matches.
When Li Kang asked him curiously about the principle of matches, Xu Shou opened his mouth and said a lot of professional terms, bluffing Li Kang was stunned for a moment, and instantly retreated, what oxidants, binders, red phosphorus, and antimony trisulfide sounded like the same thing, but in fact they were all nonsense, because Li Kang didn't understand a word.
From then on, as long as he didn't understand, Li Kang no longer asked about the process, only looked at the results, and doubted his life.
It's like after the tinplate was made, Li Kang was only responsible for accepting it happily, and didn't care about anything else.
Of course, the invention of tinplate heralded the popularization of canned food in the army - glass cans are fragile and only suitable for civilian use - and the happiest are the low-level soldiers of the military, who no longer have to gnaw on hard dry food when they go out on duty.
It is said that after the tinplate was smelted at the beginning, Li Kang had an obsessive-compulsive attack and wanted to change his name to the Chinese version of "Macau Iron", but because he was not used to reading it, he changed it back, which made a lot of bigwigs slandered.
At the same time, the military industry has also made steady progress, although the musket is still like that, the rifling problem has not yet been solved, and there is still some distance from the large-scale replacement of rifled guns.
But artillery is different, its demand is dozens of times less than that of muskets, rifled guns have begun to be equipped, and with the continuous increase in the tonnage of warships, the caliber of artillery is getting larger and larger, the barrel is getting thicker and thicker, and the deterrent power of China is getting stronger and stronger.
If the development of industry and agriculture is obvious to all, then infrastructure construction is changing with each passing day.
Through their unremitting efforts, in the past three years, not only the beginning of the new Qi Road (Xin'an Town-Houji Town-Qihuan Town), Xinshen Road (Xin'an Town-Wu'an Town-Shennong Town), Zhongxian Road (Zhongni Town-Zihuan Town-Mengde Town-Zijian Town-Xiangao Town) all lines through, followed by Fuxian Road (Fuxi Town-Mengwei Town-Xiangao Town), Fuyi Road (Fuxi Town-Xinling Town-Chunshen Town-Yiyin Town), Fuguan Road (Fuxi Town-Champion Town), Xianmeng Road (Xiangao Town-Taozhu Town-Pingyuan Town-Mengwei Town), Xianchun Road (Xiangao Town-Chunshen Town), Xinling Road (Xin'an Town-Lingjun Town), Xinzhong Road (Xin'an Town-Zhongni Town), Xinqian Road (Xin'an Town-Zhuan Town), Xinmo Road (Xin'an Town-Mozhai Town), Lingxuan Road (Lingjun Town-Rongshu Town-Xuanyuan Town) and other major main roads have been connected.
In addition, Xinbei Road (Xin'an Town-Beishu Town) and Xinxuan Road (Xin'an Town-Xuanyuan Town) have been built long ago, it can be said that the five counties under the rule of Huaxia are now convenient, no less than in the eighties and nineties of the old world.
Li Kang can be regarded as "if you want to get rich, you must first build roads", and he has achieved the ultimate!
