Chapter 142: Territorial Terroir
Wang Yong's inspection yielded a lot of results, in addition to finding that the entire southern part of the province is suitable for the development of agriculture, there are also the eastern and northeastern parts of the province near the border, all the way to the foot of the Shenlong Mountains, there is a dense and vast grassland, which is a natural pasture.
However, because of the delicate relationship between the two countries, the whole grassland is now so idle, Wang Yong decided to let Mo Li buy some livestock that can be domesticated first, and then choose some suitable people to graze, and later develop to provide some meat for the territory.
In addition, Wang Yong has also found some mineral deposits, and Wang Yong has sent ten dwarves with the necessary escort forces to conduct the first survey in the province. However, most of the mineral deposits found were unable to be mined due to a shortage of manpower, and Wang Yong could only sigh and send people to conduct regular inspections to prevent outsiders from stealing the mines.
After being introduced by fishermen and learning about the changes in the tides throughout the year, Wang Yong decided on the location of a deep-water cargo port and a large wharf for fishing boats and passenger ships to dock in the northern coastal areas of the province.
The reason why the location of the port and wharf was finalized so quickly is because there is no option at all, and the location of the deep-water port chosen by Wang Yong, where there is originally a natural huge deep pit, as long as it is simply built, the reef that blocks the sea water can enter the deep pit, which is definitely a natural port.
At the pre-booked wharf, the reef extends into the sea in a large convex shape, and it can be put into use as long as the uneven corners and depths are removed, and the road on the reef is leveled.
The two locations are as if they were formed for the harbor and marina, and they are simply impeccable.
Standing on the shore and looking north, Wang Yong could vaguely see the island that Hank was talking about, and the island was still a lot of green in this season, and Wang Yong was looking forward to being able to go on the island to explore.
Standing on the land of the city site that has been determined, Wang Yong held the still soft soil in his hand, and asked the fishermen to know that the land here will not freeze in the coldest time, and the soil is thick and heavy, which is very suitable for large-scale civil engineering projects.
The planned future seaside city also includes a hill, a small lake, and two freshwater rivers outside the city.
Wang Yong led everyone to carefully inspect all the places one by one, and constantly sketched out the future construction direction of these lands in his mind.
The hill and the natural lake are located in a short northeast part of the city center, so Wang Yong decided to build a natural park around the hill for residents to play and relax.
The water of the Tamsui River outside the city is clear and sweet, and there are many fish and shrimp in it, which can be used for wild leisure such as fishing and swimming in the future.
Wang Yong stood by the river, and on a whim, he released a thunderbolt-type summoning against the river, scorching the fish in the river and floating a piece.
On the same day, Wang Yong's dinner was the big fish that were caught and not electrocuted, and Wang Yong finally understood what is the delicacy of pure natural and pollution-free wild fish.
Wang Yong was full of praise after tasting the deliciousness of these fish, and even the fresh fish that could not be eaten were not wasted, and he directly put them into the Naxu Ring, planning to bring them back to the turtles to taste.
When they returned to the Asphalt Hu base, although the five hundred guard werewolf cavalry were not led by the wolf head, they were also led by the officers sent by Ryan to protect Wang Yong and conduct special training.
After such a long period of professional training, now they have taken shape, and they are no longer like when they first came out, running around in a burst, like defeated deserters. Wang Yong teased the wolf-headed younger brother Wolf Tooth, who was already tired: "This is very good, and it is healthier to practice." ”
Originally, the wolf head also wanted to come with him, but he was forced by Wang Yong to stay in the cave to cultivate, so he had to let the wolf fang, who was still a little young and immature, lead the team.
Wang Yong finished the month-long survey, and when he returned to the asphalt Hu base, he asked the fish he had brought back to be handed over to the two cooks he least wanted to see, and he went back to his room alone, and ordered people to guard the door, forbidding anyone to disturb him, and he didn't know what he was doing.
During this period, Wang Yong's daily food was only for the guards to put in the small living room, and when Wang Yong was hungry, he didn't care about the heat or cold, and he would hide in the room after he was full. As for the convenience, there is a toilet in the small living room, and someone will come to clean and clean it every day.
Time passed quickly, five days passed in a blink of an eye, in these five days, many people came to Wang Yong to report work, but they were all blocked by the guards, and Regan, who was in a hurry, jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, clamoring to bring Amy to catch the rape, in order to threaten Wang Yong to come out, but in the end he failed to achieve his wish and saw Wang Yong.
After Wang Yong left the customs, the first thing he did was to summon all the supervisors and internal personnel to the meeting hall.
Wang Yong was the first to arrive, he didn't enter the hall, he just stood at the door and waited for everyone.
When the people who came one after another passed by Wang Yong's side, they saw that although Wang Yong's eyes were red, he had a smug smile on his face, and they knew that Wang Yong had good news to announce.
Every time someone passes by, Wang Yong, who is in a good mood, will take the initiative to greet him warmly, just like the groom who greets the guests.
And the people who came also wanted to go over and ask Wang Yong what was good, but when they approached Wang Yong, they quickly stopped, and then pinched their noses and ran into the hall.
Because Wang Yong is so smelly now, he went out for a whole month, and after coming back, he didn't have time to wash up and locked himself in the room, and now it would be abnormal if there was no smell on his body. Poor our lord still doesn't know it, and he is still looking for someone with a shy face.
After everyone arrived, Wang Yong didn't have time to speak urgently, and the people below habitually began to report their respective achievements in the past month and the deficiencies found in their work to be improved.
Shirley reported: "We are now only paying military salaries and wages according to the minimum standard, and some of the expenses that the boss instructed Morry to procure, and now we have spent nearly six thousand gold coins. Our territory basically does not have any income now, if we start to build cities and increase troops and expand the army in the future, plus the alchemy materials used in the current production, etc., the existing gold coins in the territory are simply not enough, I hope the boss will find a way to solve the financial problem. ”
Wang Yong began to have a headache when he heard this: "Where can I get gold coins? Cement and steel bars are good things, but now the ones produced are not enough, how can they be taken out and sold?"
Wang Yong frowned and asked, "How long can we last with the remaining gold coins now?"
Shirley thought for a moment and replied: "In a few days, there will be 10,000 gold coins of timber to arrive, and if the boss does not purchase large sums of money in the future, according to the current daily consumption, it can probably be maintained until August, provided that slave wages are not paid and the army is expanded." ”
Wang Yong sighed and said helplessly: "Then let's do this first, let's find a way for this later." ”
Next, various departments reported on the production reserves during this period, and a lot of cement and pottery pipes were produced, but they were still far from Wang Yong's requirements, Wang Yong encouraged them to continue their efforts, and asked them to build more kilns to increase production. A few people in charge nodded in agreement, but they had to give them more manpower, otherwise no matter how many kilns were built, there would be no manpower to manage them.
Reagan and Rooker reported: "The rolling mill has been built, and now a rolling mill has been built, which we have named Rolling Mill No. 1. Mill 1 has already started producing second-grade rebar, but the production efficiency is not high, and mills 2 and 3 are now being built and are expected to be ready for production in five days. ”
The dwarven patriarch reported: "Now that we are working overtime, there is no manpower left to operate the other two rolling mills, so the boss should send us more manpower." ”
Wang Yong nodded and added: "Build two more factories specializing in the production of iron pipes, and Reagan will guide you in the specific requirements of iron pipes." ”
Wang Yong looked at Phoebe, she was the personnel director appointed when Wang Yong went out to survey the terrain, and was responsible for the filing and transfer of personnel in the territory.
Phoebe frowned, and said with a tired face: "We have a total of nearly seven thousand people now, and I can transfer some more people from the production base and smelter, and strive to get two thousand people for each of them." Then we have about 3,000 people left, 1,200 slaves who are mining can't move, and the main materials for steelmaking have to be mined by them, and there are 1,200 soldiers and werewolf cavalry in the army, 200 people sent out to do errands, and the rest of the women are also making costumes and protective gear under the leadership of Connie, and there are some people who do medical care, logistics, and so on, and I can mobilize no more than 200 people now. "The lack of manpower gave Wang Yong a headache.
Wang Yong looked at Murray, Murray glanced at Shirley, got up and said to Shirley: "I haven't told you about the slaves yet, the boss sent someone to inform me a few days ago, and asked me to buy a batch of slaves, I have asked the Ramos Chamber of Commerce to send it, and it is estimated that it will be almost there in the next few days." ”
When Shirley heard this, she glared at Wang Yong angrily, and said to Mo Li with displeasure: "Only this time, if there is such a thing in the future, I will never pay if I am not notified in advance." Tell me, how many gold coins will you want this time?"
Wang Yong and Mo Li saw that Shirley was not mad on the spot, and said with a relieved smile: "Not much, not much, this time only three thousand slaves were sold, and they promised to send us five hundred more, and these are all poor people on the border of the Luosen Empire, they are all family units, and it is easy for them to take root and live in peace and contentment in our territory." ”
Shirley calculated, impatiently interrupted Mori's boast and asked, "Twenty thousand gold coins?"
Seeing Wang Yong nodding, Shirley glared at Wang Yong fiercely and said, "If there is anything that needs to be used in the future, you must notify me first, otherwise it will be difficult for me to make an accurate budget." The funds I just said can be maintained until August is no longer accurate, and I will have to go back and recalculate to get accurate results. ”
Wang Yong hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "It's hard work, you must pay attention next time, hehe!"
