Chapter Twenty-Six: Construction Projects

Dayi City Palace, there are two pieces on the table in front of Di Yi, one is the itinerary of Bigan sent by the spies, in just five or six days, he has arrived in Moyi Cheng, and on the way to tame the group of headache thorns, the biggest highlight is to kick out some remnants of the weak generals, and under the banner of Di Yi, they are assigned to the cities along the way, and by the way, they have also reaped enough benefits to reduce the burden and replenish the military supplies.

If his military prowess can be seen in this cantata, another cantata is enough to show his resourcefulness.

Dongyi spies came to report, after just a month of hard work, now Da Peng and Empress Wei have turned against each other, the two are fighting hotly, and no one has the strength to fight against Yin Shang. In the end, if Empress Wei wins the best, with the foreshadowing in front, he will definitely surrender to Yin Shang. Even if Dapeng wins, it will definitely be a big loss of vitality, but it is almost effortless to send troops to fight again.

Outstanding military talents, resourcefulness and resourcefulness, how good it would be if such a talent was just Wen Zhong! Di Yi sometimes really hoped that Wen Zhong was just Wen Zhong, and there was no more worry-free than doing this identity.

"Spread the will of King Gu, allocate ten gold million pearls to Master Wen Zhong, and urge him to supervise the construction of Moyi City as soon as possible!"

"No!"

When Emperor Yi ordered the appropriation, Lin Xing was choosing a site for the future Chaoge City. The general of the city is very knowledgeable, and when Lin Xing enters the city, he will hand over all the rights in his hands, and everything depends on Lin Xing, and he is just an assistant.

Lin Xing really didn't take a look at the city of Qiyi, the city walls were low, and the defense facilities were simple. In case the Zhou soldiers came to the city that day, not to mention the monks, even ordinary soldiers would attack it, relying on Yin Shang, these crooked melons and cracked dates would be difficult to defend.

He set the location of the new city at 20 miles southeast of Qiyi, where Qishui is dangerous in the east, backed by the natural barrier of Taihang, adjacent to the Yellow River in the south to resist the enemy, and in the north, people can dig a canal to divert Qishui.

The city wall is piled up with huge stones, requiring a width of 10 zhang and a height of 20 zhang (all of which are no longer explained after the commercial system, and the size is halved than the current size) to set up four city gates in the south, east, and northwest. Among them, the two gates in the northeast are used as moats, and the two gates in the southwest are enough to have natural barriers.

Each wall is twenty miles long, and the entire city covers an area of one hundred square kilometers. This area was only the area of a third-tier city in later generations, but it was a remarkable existence in this era, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people living in it and guarantee self-sufficiency.

The inner city was built in the middle of the city, covering an area of about a quarter of the entire city, and the city wall was five zhang thick and ten zhang high. The inner city is mainly used as commercial land.

In the center of the inner city was built the royal city, that is, the royal palace. The planned area of the palace is tentatively set at one million square meters, which has surpassed the Forbidden City in later generations, and it should be enough. No matter how big it is, I'm afraid that the king will use it to mess around, and Lin Xing doesn't want it to appear anymore.

As for the cost of building the city, Lin Xing had already thought of the source. The land in the outer cities was used for buying and selling, and the land of the state was used to create the first landlords. Naturally, the shops in the inner city can also be bought and sold, so why not create a group of capitalists if there are landlords?

As for the royal palace, although it cannot be bought or sold, it can be used for wall advertising!

Di Yi told him that local materials were used, and some of the stones in Taihang Mountain were used, the large ones were used to build the city walls, and the small ones could also be used to pave the roads, so that they could be used to the fullest.

As for the workers, the city has a population of more than 100,000. However, we must not use the method of grasping hard labor, but should use emotion to understand reason, so that they can understand what benefits will be brought to them by building a royal city here, what will bless their descendants, and what kind of children who are the people of Wangcheng will marry a daughter-in-law! What kind of royal city hukou will be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver in the future, and people who have not experienced demolition and relocation will not understand how demagogic these rhetoric is.

Only when the enthusiasm of the masses is aroused can the enthusiasm of labor be raised. These are much more useful than whips and sticks, and besides, they are not allowed to work in vain, and a person can still have an income of silver a day, which is converted into copper coins and hundreds of Wen.

Of course, all this is what Lin Xing thinks in his heart, and it is the most ideal way to solve this matter. If everything goes well, this effect can be achieved.

"Bao Taishi, a total of more than 30 craftsmen of all kinds have been recruited from the city today, and they have been placed in the barracks!"

Hearing this, Lin Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly, what can thirty workers do for a huge city?

"Report to the Taishi, no one cares about the auction house today!"

waved his hand to signal people to come down, there was no good news every day, the naming rights of the land shops were all hung in the auction house, and no one came to ask at all, Lin Xing thought that the businessmen who chased interests would rush to it. The gap between reality and ideals is too great.

"Report! Dayi's envoy said!"

"Oh!?" What is this envoy eating? Could it be that the eldest brother still doesn't believe in himself, and sent another spy? But after all, he was sent by the Son of Heaven, so why should he meet him?

"Please!"

The person who came turned out to be the next doctor, which was a bit unexpected for Lin Xing. This person is still a little impressed in the god list, but the old minister of the Three Dynasties is still in a high position as prime minister in the end.

"See the Grand Master!" Shang Rong saluted Lin Xingshi, after all, where is the identity, people are not only the imperial masters, but also the princes. Even if Shang Rong was ordered by Emperor Yi to see the first level of official, it was just for ordinary officials, and he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Lin Xing.

"I don't know what instructions the king has for sending Doctor Shang to come?" The sedan chair was carried by everyone, since Shang Rong was so knowledgeable, Lin Xing would still give him the face he deserved.

"The king transferred one million taels of gold and ten pearls from the treasury to fund the construction of the new city!"

Where Shang Rong's character is, Lin Xing will not suspect him of embezzlement from the middle. It happened that the sleepiness brought a pillow, although the million taels of gold were not enough to complete the construction of the new city, it should be enough to think of a way. As for the pearls, hehe...... I'm sorry, Lin Xing smiled.

This thing is not a universal currency, and it is very troublesome to exchange it, since the funds for the construction of the city can be raised by themselves, and the pearl will not say anything if he wants to come to Diyi.

"Come on, the living room will hold a banquet to entertain Dr. Shang Rong, and the accompanying sergeant will be rewarded in the barracks!"

"Master Xie!" The accompanying soldiers thanked him and left, leaving only Shang Rong alone to be specially entertained by Lin Xing.

"What's the situation in the DPRK today?" Talking is an art, but unfortunately Lin Xing doesn't understand it very well, so he has to find some topics so as not to let it be cold.

"There is no major event in the court, but there are some changes in personnel, the old prime minister is old, and the king is allowed to resign. Du Yuanmi took over the position of Bu Guan, and the rest are still the same!"

"Oh! Prime Minister Wang's resignation will inevitably bring about a series of personnel changes, and I think Dr. Shang should also be promoted, congratulations in advance!"

"By the auspicious words of the Taishi, Shang Rong is the same in any position he is working for the king!"

The two of them just talked about the words until the end of the banquet, but it was not all useless, at least Lin Xing understood the reason for the slow progress of his work in the past few days.

First of all, the first point is that he used inappropriate words! This first Khan, a dignified university graduate, actually had an oolong incident of inappropriate use of words, mainly because he did not know much about the current situation.

Tomorrow, we must remove the word "masses" from the list, the word "zhong" in the Shang Dynasty was written as one day above, three people below, which means people who work under the scorching sun, and modern times mostly refer to slaves.

Another point is the matter of selling land, the price of twenty taels of silver is indeed not high, the key is that the land is now in the hands of the national aristocracy, and the law of big commerce prohibits private individuals from buying and selling land, so although Lin Xing posted a notice in the name of the government, few people still believe it.

Now that you find the root of the matter, it's much easier to solve it!
