Chapter 191: Shennong Town
The trend of the river is an upward parabola a few hundred miles into the sea, and Shennong Town is located a little to the right of the lower focus, located in the south-west direction of Sanbao Town—not due southwest—more than 80 miles away from Sanbao Town in a straight line, and it only takes a few hours to sail upriver from Sanbao Town.
When boarding the ship in Sanbao Town, there was a little episode, that is, Yue Yehare and Xin Yuqiu refused to board the ship, in fact, let alone them, even Li Kang and a group of entourages were fluttering under their feet after seeing the ship, but there was no way, who let the land transportation between Shennong Town and Sanbao Town still be in the primitive stage, if you don't take the boat, can you step on the mud?—— the two girls said with tears in their eyes that people would rather step on the mud!
In the end, Li Kang had no choice but to reprimand the two sisters with a straight face, and explained to them the difference between taking a boat on the river and a boat on the sea, so he coaxed and coaxed the two sisters... persuaded to get on the boat.
However, this also made Li Kang determined to build a highway connecting Shennong Town-Sanbao Town-Qihuan Town, and if there is a waterway, there is no need to use the land route for the time being, which is simply a fallacy, isn't this a pitfallacy!
After persuading the two girls to get on the boat, Li Kang followed with a bitter face, fortunately, his persuasion just now was not completely blind, the river was indeed much calmer than the sea, and after the edification of the sea, the small waves could not cause the slightest wave in everyone's hearts, and the group arrived in Shennong Town safely "without danger".
Shennong Town, as the Chengguan Town of Shennong County, the seat of the county administration, is larger than Sanbao Town and Qihuan Town, and the population is more than the sum of the two towns, nearly 10,000 people, plus its location is also a transportation hub - located at the confluence of large rivers and small rivers - the market is prosperous, and it is also one of the largest ports in China.
Shennong County Commander Zhao Siye's status in Huaxia is relatively special, because he and Dian Wei can be regarded as the oldest group of veterans in Huaxia, and they have a close relationship with Li Kang, although they were not arranged by Li Kang in the center, it does not mean that Li Kang does not trust him, if his ability can be exercised locally, his future future will inevitably be much greater than that of ordinary officials.
There are many people like Zhao Siye, such as Wang Siping of Lingjun Town, Wang Dafu of Zhuan Town, and even Qi Pre, the mayor of Qihuan Town, who Li Kang has never been very treated, as long as he proves his ability locally, once there is a vacancy in the center, Li Kang will definitely consider them first.
Of course, there are many more in this kind of army, and Gao Chu, Ping Zhenqi and others, who are still at the regimental and battalion level.
And it is precisely because of this relationship that Shennong Town has also received many aspects of Li Kang's care, which has also added an accelerator to its rapid development.
"Boqi, you and I haven't seen each other for a while, right?" At the wharf of Shennong Town, as soon as Li Kang got off the boat, he smiled at a middle-aged man in his thirties who greeted the officials.
Li Kang's intimate attitude made Zhao Siye very useful, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and said: "The last time Your Majesty saw you was on Christmas (February 20), it has been three months in the blink of an eye!"
“... Let's be exempt!" Stretching out his hand to help everyone flatten, Li Kang continued, "Are you all ready? Let the two ladies go down to rest first." ”
"No!" Zhao Siye instructed a person behind him, and the person hurriedly made a gesture, turned around and walked behind Li Kang, at this time Li Kang also nodded behind him, signaling them to leave first.
"Youshang has been tired all the way, do you want to take a rest first?" Zhao Siye asked.
"No!" Li Kang waved his hand and vetoed this proposal, he was also a master of the second level of the congenital - he was divided into the third level by Li Kang - what is this tiredness? Seasickness is a special case, it can't be counted.
Since Li Kang said no, Zhao Siye no longer insisted, and led the way from the beginning to act as a guide.
There are still many places to be inspected in Shennong Town, such as Shennong Shipyard, storage area, wharf, river transport governor's yamen, dragon boat association, swimming association, cold weapon manufacturing factory, Shennong primary school, Shennong Medical Hall, Yandi Shennong Memorial Hall, Yandi Temple, spare parts processing factory, firearms production part workshop, wood processing factory, Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Northern Chamber of Commerce headquarters......
If you visit them carefully one by one, it will take a lot of time, Li Kang can only choose some key points to visit, and the others can only be seen in a casual manner, indicating that he has been here.
Especially a few relatively large private chambers of commerce, what they need is this, as long as Li Kang has come, for this reason, they do not hesitate to check the county government in advance and add the name of their chamber of commerce to Li Kang's schedule.
Of course, Li Kang knew this kind of thing in advance, Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian, but he doesn't care, as long as it doesn't damage the interests of Huaxia, it doesn't hurt for the officials below to make some extra money.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.
Li Kang doesn't have that ambition, he requires his subordinates to be Bao Xiaosu and Haigangfeng, such a grand goal is beyond the reach of manpower, anyway, Li Kang doesn't think he can do it.
The first stop is the Yandi Temple, as one of the ancestors of humanity, the two emperors of Yan and Huang are the objects that rulers need to worship in all dynasties and generations, Li Kang is no exception, and there is no need to make exceptions, the two emperors of Yan and Huang are worthy of his worship - not because of their exploits, the history at that time was pure nonsense, similar to fantasy, who knows if it is true? Li Kang simply worships them as his ancestors, regardless of whether it is actually or not, the Chinese people must have a common ancestor and inheritance, which is a cultural identity and blood identity, which is beyond doubt.
Under the command of the temple Zhu, the solemn worship ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner, after the end, Li Kang visited the Yandi Memorial Hall next to it non-stop, admired the outstanding demeanor of the ancestors, remembered the glorious deeds of the ancestors, and then sighed the fearless spirit and selfless dedication of the ancestors, and called on the people of the whole China to learn from the ancestors...
Once you survive, the day is over.
The next day, when visiting the Shennong Shipyard, Zhao Siye suddenly said that he wanted to build another shipyard in Sanbao Town, hoping that Li Kang would approve it.
Zhao Siye's vision is also very accurate, as Li Kang puts more and more energy on the ocean, there will inevitably be a shortage of sea ships, and now after the good news from the south comes, Zhao Siye's feeling is more urgent, and the shipyard in Shennong Town only builds inland river flat-bottomed boats, and the shipyard in Qihuan Town alone will obviously be inadequate, so Zhao Siye started the idea of establishing another shipyard in Sanbao Town.
Li Kang was stunned for a moment, he also had ideas in this regard, but he was not as eager as Zhao Siye, and his idea was only to expand the scale of the first shipyard, and he had no intention of starting anew. [.]
