"Chen Jiao County ordered to wait a minute, there is one more thing to arrange, and let the soldiers bring the news with them when the time comes."

Everyone in the court looked at Li Chengzhou, not knowing what else was going on.

"When we went to the cotton field just now, we finally found that the road stopped halfway through, and it didn't even extend four kilometers, such a road is really a bit short, I think the road must be repaired, what do you think?"

None of the people below spoke, nodding their heads, and they all agreed on the importance of building roads.

"In this case, this matter will be handed over to the county commanders of each city, and I hope you can overcome the difficulties and take the idle personnel out to build roads."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the lower official will definitely bring the words."

"Yesterday, I thought about it for a while, and I also discussed it with a few strategists, and decided to assign the task of building the road to each city."

"A total of 70 kilometers from Los Angeles to Hai Ferry and then to Ferry City was built in Los Angeles."

"A total of fifty kilometers from Ferry City to Bronze City is built on the route of Ferry City."

"A total of fifty kilometers from Bronze City to Fire Bull City is built on the Bronze City."

"A total of fifty kilometers from Ironwood City to Fire Bull City is built on Ironwood City."

"A total of 70 kilometers from Longshan Castle to Chize Castle is built on Longshan Castle."

"A total of 70 kilometers from Sanmiao City to Chizawa City will be built on Sanmiao City."

"A total of fifty kilometers from Ikezawa Castle to Huoniu City is built on Ikezawa Castle."

"A total of sixty kilometers from Huoniu City to Yanyang City is built on Huoniucheng."

"There are a total of eighty kilometers from Yanyang City to White Bird City, of which the sixty miles near Yanyang City are built by Yanyang City, and the twenty kilometers near White Bird City are built by White Bird City."

"A total of fifty kilometers from Red Mountain City to White Bird City is built on Red Mountain City."

"There are a total of seventy kilometers from Liangzhu City to White Bird City, of which twenty miles near White Bird City are built by White Bird City, and fifty kilometers near Liangzhu City are built by Liangzhu City."

"A total of seventy kilometers from Taosi Castle to Shiratori Castle, of which twenty miles near Shiratori Castle was built by Shiratori Castle, and fifty kilometers near Taosi Castle was built by Taosi Castle."

Chen Jiao has already remembered what Li Chengzhou said.

"The lower officials must convey this matter to the ears of the various county orders."

"The deadline is the end of the year, and those who can't do it come to me and Fang Lao to tell the reason."

Chen Jiao gasped, and had to find Fang Lao to explain the reason, just Fang Lao stood there with his face pulled, it was enough for their brothers and sisters to be afraid.

"If you have any questions, you can always ask me, and if you have any difficulties, you can also come to me."

Li Chengzhou looked around at the officials below, they didn't have anything to say.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat."

"Then let's all go back."

The officials retreated one after another, and as soon as Chen Jiao went out, he summoned a few soldiers to arrange what Li Chengzhou had just said.

Each soldier had a few clumps of cotton in his hand, and each of them had to go to the magistrate of another city.

The soldiers were ordered to turn around and leave, heading for the rest of the city.

Chen Jiao sent the soldiers away, and saw Han Jian walking up the steps and asked to see Li Chengzhou, the two of them said hello, Chen Jiao went to his court to arrange the future.

Chen Jiao sat on a chair, surrounded by the staff and backbones he had promoted from Fire Bull City.

Chen Jiao took out a ball of cotton.

"This thing is called cotton, we need to collect more, you have recently deployed manpower and sent a thousand people to collect cotton."

"Chen County Order, what's the use of this?"

"Your Majesty said, this thing can be stuffed into your clothes to keep you warm."

One of them stepped forward: "My subordinates will arrange it." Don't know how much to collect? ”

"Build a new warehouse and collect as much as you can!"

The people below whispered, they didn't know what the use of collecting so much was.

"Lord County Commander, what's the use of collecting so much, it's better to free up manpower for something else."

"You don't have to worry about this, in short, you know that collecting more food now will definitely be good for us in the future."

Chen Jiao is very determined.

"People from other places will trade their goods for our cotton, and we can use this to make a better life for the people of Fire Bull."

"My subordinates will do it."

The staff member turned around and left, and went to arrange the matter, drawing people from various places to collect cotton.

"One more thing."

Chen Jiao paused.

"Just now, when we were in the early court, Your Majesty asked us to build a total of sixty kilometers of roads from Huoniu City to Yanyang City."

The people below began to talk.

"Lord Prefectural, the cotton collection just now is indeed good for us, but what is the use of this road repair for us? What can road construction bring us? ”

Chen Jiao has no way to explain to these natives what benefits road construction can bring, and the benefits of road construction cannot be summed up in a simple sentence.

Whether it is the transportation of caravans or the march of armies, the efficiency will be greatly improved.

This has many hidden benefits for the subsequent economic, cultural, and political development.

In the past, in order to develop their own cities first, the prefectural orders of each city did not pay much attention to the roads between the cities.

But the lessons owed have to be made up, and now Li Chengzhou has arranged for them to repair the roads in each city, which will be completed before the end of the year, and there are only two months left to calculate the time, and the road will be repaired for 60 kilometers in two months, and about one kilometer will be repaired every day, which is not a simple task.

If the road is deviated when the road is being repaired, it is even more troublesome.

"It's also for our good to always build roads, and it's very important because we have a deadline of the end of the year, and we have two months to go."

"Pressed for time?"

"Time is very tight, don't resist and set aside 2,000 people to build roads."

"Two thousand? I'm afraid the prefectural magistrate is joking. ”

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

"But now that the labor in Fire Bull City has been requisitioned, there is no surplus labor left to build roads."

"This is the case in our city, and the same is true in other cities, in short, we have to overcome difficulties, and the road construction must continue!"

Chen Jiao's words are unquestionable.

"The lighter manual work of collecting cotton can be done by the old people and women in the city, and the heavy physical work of building roads can be done by the men."

"But now people are needed everywhere, and when we collected hemp before, we had already asked some old people and women to join the collection team, and now there is really little labor."

Chen Jiao also knows about these situations, but there is no way, this is the task of Li Chengzhou's compulsory apportionment.

"Then let the other buildings in the city stop for a while, let the defenders lay down their weapons first, temporarily organize into the road construction team, and solve the task at hand first. Wait until you have enough men to take up arms. ”

Chen Jiao was so determined, and others had no choice but to do it, and people were dispatched from all over Huoniu City to start the intense road repair and collection work.
