Chapter 181: Heavy News Makes Waves Again
Everyone present was looking at Li Chengzhou, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.
Even Fan Qingyan and Tomahawk, who were familiar with him, couldn't figure out what Li Chengzhou was thinking, and there really wasn't anything going on recently.
"Fifty kilometers north of Bronze City and forty kilometers west of Yanyang City, there is a grassland with a length and width of twenty kilometers, and now we have to tidy it up and build it into a horse farm."
The following people began to talk to each other, when did it happen? What are you doing with a horse farm, since you came here, but you haven't seen a horse, looking forward to a horse falling from the sky?
Everyone didn't react, Li Chengzhou knew they didn't understand, and then threw his bait.
"All the cities that undertake the construction of horse farms will receive three times the allocation, which is calculated separately from the previous allocation of the Bronze City, and is also calculated according to the allocation of a single city."
If it can be superimposed with the previous one, Los Angeles will be ruthless, wouldn't it be nine times the appropriation, but it is really rich.
The county magistrates were boiling, they didn't know that there was such a thing, this is the same treatment as mining copper mines! And it's obviously a little simpler than mining copper.
The five northern cities and the five southern cities gathered together to discuss the matter.
Shi Yue and Fu Chong surrounded Situ Yutao, they had nothing to do about this matter, it depended on whether Situ Yutao had any way.
Situ Yutao is here, he has long expected this matter, Tomahawk sent people in the name of Li Chengzhou to ask for a temporary horse farm near Los Angeles, and prepare enough forage, there must be a lot of horses, but Los Angeles can only be used as a temporary horse farm, and cannot be used for a long time, so there must be a large horse farm somewhere inland.
The first thing Situ Yutao did after entering the city was not to go straight to the main hall, but to ask the residents of the city, where His Majesty was, and the answer he got was that His Majesty went west in addition to the city gate, but he had not seen Li Chengzhou on the way here, so Li Chengzhou must have done something secret somewhere in the west.
After Li Chengzhou came, although he was dressed cleanly, his face was full of exhaustion, obviously overworked, and on the way to the banquet, his ears and eyes told him that His Majesty and the Tomahawk General entered through the West Gate, covered in mud and tatters.
All this confirmed Situ Yutao's conjecture, the two of them must have found something somewhere in the west, it was very likely that it was a large grassland, and it was far enough away that they were so tired.
Therefore, Situ Yutao included Ferry City and Bronze City into his alliance after thinking, and he was not doing charity, with the help of these two cities, the pressure on logistics was relieved to a certain extent, and the pressure on personnel could also be relieved.
If there is only one copper mine, Situ Yutao will definitely mine it himself.
The two younger brothers gathered around him and looked at him like this.
"Don't panic, two junior brothers, I have my own plans, you just leave it to me, and I will arrange this matter properly."
Situ Yutao was not in a hurry, he had to wait until they fought to the end before he made a move, and he didn't speak in order to let them relax their vigilance.
After discussion, the five southern cities sent Chen Jiao to stand up.
"Your Majesty, forgive your presumptuousness, when will this horse farm be completed at the latest?"
Li Chengzhou thought about it, and now the demand for the racecourse is not in a hurry, you can first mint the coins and then take your time.
"The end of December, at the latest, this is the time."
"Then let's quit, we don't have the manpower to come out."
Chen Jiao sat back generously like this.
Do what you can, don't do everything, Li Chengzhou has a good impression of him.
Zhou Qi was instantly excited, without Chen Jiao's competition, wouldn't the task of building a horse farm fall on his head? Even if Los Angeles participated, it would not be able to compete with itself.
"The task of encircling and building a horse farm, our five northern cities have undertaken!"
The joy is palpable.
Situ Yutao stood up.
"Senior brother, why are you so happy?"
"Isn't it worth the joy that you brothers worked hard to get the right to mine copper, but let us pick up a leak and simply build a horse farm and get three times the grant?"
Just as Zhou Qi was speaking, Situ Yutao gradually walked to the center of the venue.
Zhou Qi's face gradually froze.
"Senior Brother Zhou, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I still want to participate in Los Angeles."
"Senior brother, I know that you have a lot of labor in Los Angeles and are well developed, but excluding the people who mine the copper mines, can your remaining labor really be compared to the spare labor in our five cities?"
"This doesn't have to worry about the junior brother. We're going to build a horse farm in Los Angeles, and we're going to have it done by December 20th. ”
As soon as these words came out, they were shocked.
Is he so violent? Can you send so many people?
"Senior brother, you have to do what you can! If it can't be done, it will be necessary to reduce the allocation as appropriate! Don't shoot yourself in the foot! ”
"As long as the junior brother takes care of himself, I have my own prescription."
"I can complete the task of building a racecourse on December 10 in my five northern cities!"
"I'm in Los Angeles at the end of November."
The two of them went toe-to-toe and did not back down.
"Senior brother, you? Now that there are only twenty days left until the end of November, can you really do it? ”
Fan Qingyan couldn't help but remind: "Senior brother, it's better to be cautious." ”
"Don't worry, since I said it, I naturally have a way to succeed."
"Aiqing, this is not a trivial matter, you want to build a temporary horse farm in Los Angeles, and now you are undertaking the Bronze City Copper Mine, and you have to undertake another horse farm, so many tasks, you have to prove that you can complete it before I can hand it over to you."
Hearing Li Chengzhou's words, Zhou Qi's eyes lit up, maybe there was hope again.
Situ Yutao was not in a hurry.
"After so many days of absorbing out-of-town displaced people, and also systematically absorbing desperate tribes, Los Angeles now has 25,000 people."
"Out of the 25,000 people, there were 10,000 old and infirm, women and children. and fifteen thousand laborers. ”
"Of these, 1,000 are forging ironware, 2,000 are building roads, 1,000 are defending the city, 2,000 are weaving linen, 4,000 are working in the fields, 1,000 are continuing to repair the buildings in the city, and I intend to send 3,000 men to mine copper."
"The remaining 1,000 people are going to build a horse farm."
"A thousand people build a horse farm, I'm afraid it's a little overwhelming? Logistics personnel are also needed to provide supplies for these people. ”
"I will hand over the logistics to Bronze City and Ferry City, our three cities will suspend road repair, and put these people into the work of building a horse farm, and when the horse farm is completed, we will continue to build roads, in order to ensure normal progress, Los Angeles will also send extra people to help these two cities build roads together."
"Well, I'm sure you're capable of accomplishing these things."
