Three days later, Fatty Ding’s first payment arrived, a total of 100 million taels of gold, more than half of which were banknotes, and the remaining small part was real gold and silver, and even that small part was packed
One hundred carts.
Seeing a hundred carts full of gold parked outside the city, the passing people and warriors blocked the inside and outside of the city gate. I have seen rich people, but I have never seen such rich people. And look at that Hao
On both sides of the majestic motorcade, more than two hundred strong men glanced at passers-by with serious expressions and glaring eyes. These people knew that this team was probably owned by the newly promoted Lord of Nakano City.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that since the very first day, Zhongtian City has posted a list for recruiting miners and lumberjacks. The list lists: 8,000 miners and lumberjacks are needed.
Each one shares half, the monthly salary is a penny, and food and accommodation are provided. Anyone who is looking for work to build Nakano Castle can join, as long as he is a young and strong adult.
A drop of money is equivalent to one tael of silver, and the monthly salary of eight thousand people reaches 8,000 taels, not including food and drink. Such a large gesture immediately caused a big stir in Zhongtian City.
Normally, people are busy for a year, farming, selling vegetables, hunting and so on, and they can only make seven or eight taels of silver. When Feng Jueyu recruited workers, the annual salary reached twelve taels of silver, and there was a huge influx of migrant workers.
, the city could not accommodate so many people, so Feng Jueyu ordered people to organize dozens of camps outside the city and register them separately. Anyone who joined would receive a drop of money. From that day on, people came out of Zhongtian City and various surrounding towns.
The amount of copper coins exceeds thousands of carts and is continuously transported to the outside of Zhongtian City. Such a large-scale recruitment is unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented.
The recruitment process this time took more than seven days to get the number of people together.
Not only that, Feng Jueyu also needs manpower to dig out the secrets. Four thousand people is just an initial estimate. God knows how many secrets there are in Taixuan. Anyway, it will take a long time to dig them all, so he goes from south to north.
All the common people in the past joined the tide of building Nakano Castle and digging for secrets, making Zhongtian City bustling with activity.
A few days later, on a hill between Shahe Town and Huaiqing Village, Feng Jueyu temporarily set up a tent. As the center of the original Nakano City, overlooking the hill, you can vaguely see the former Nakano.
The splendor of the city, with khaki withered vines climbing on the walls of the ancient city, and random piles of rocks showing traces of former residences. The surrounding fields are flat, with dry rivers under the collapsed embankments and bridges, and a few trees not far away.
A farmer is cultivating wheat and rice in the randomly reclaimed fields, and the water flow from the artificially dug river in the distance flows turbulently...
In Feng Jueyu's eyes, this place is a wasteland. The farmers he meets occasionally have migrated from various places. Since there are very few water canals here and there are not many fertile fields that can be irrigated, it is obviously sparsely populated and desolate. Take a look.
I feel sad.
In the camp, Feng Jueyu, Shangguan Ruomeng, Li Tong'er and others were all there. Looking at the desolation of the surrounding fields, they couldn't help but feel deeply. Especially Shangguan Ruomeng, who was used to the prosperity, and had never thought about the surroundings near Zhongtian City.
Nakano Castle will look like this.
The topographic map of Nakano Castle was sketched on the temporary sand table in the camp. The map was obtained from the Ming family because they rushed here at a high speed. In addition to the recruited workers, the warriors from the major families had not arrived yet, and even Zhong Ye had not arrived yet.
Yu He was also absent. As for the reason, Feng Jueyu found it ridiculous. This guy actually lied that his old illness had not recovered. But Feng Jueyu saw him attending the meeting. How could he not recover? In fact, he just wanted to wait for it to happen.
However, Feng Jueyu felt that it was okay if Zhong Yuhe didn't come. Who knows if that treacherous boy would cause any problems for him when he got here. Since he didn't come, everything would be up to him.
"Sister Ruomeng, where do you think we should start?" Feng Jueyu pointed to the sand table. He couldn't help but be anxious. He borrowed the money himself. If he was delayed for one day, it would be eight thousand taels of silver. If he didn't do something practical here, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Is it like using money to play with water?
Shangguan Ruo dreamed for a while, shook his head and said: "Our manpower is basically not enough, look at how big the city is."
She pointed to the sand table and said: "The total length of the city walls in the four directions is approximately hundreds of miles. Just repairing the city walls requires a lot of manpower, and we have very few materials now. Some of them have to cut down trees and the other part to transport the city walls."
It is said that more than a thousand bricks and stones can be saved. The next group of workers will go to Taixuan Hidden to excavate in a few days. There is no one available for the construction of the city, but it cannot be left alone. After all, the city wall will be built.
It’s useless.”
"Then what?" Zhu Yeqing also came over. He wanted to see how Feng Jueyu would spend the 500 million taels he borrowed from Fatty Ding.
Shangguan Ruo dreamed about it and said: "I think we should first allocate a thousand people to cut down the woods, first fence the gap in the city wall, and then wait for the stones to be transported and then pile them up, and then allocate a thousand people to carry them.
Two thousand people transported bricks and stones, and two thousand people moved them. Starting from the direction of Shayuguan, five thousand people were used - five hundred people were used to transport food, and then came back and used them all for construction in the city. These three thousand people
People should clean up all the weeds, stones and other things in the ruins. It is best to have the ruins clean within a month, and then dig rivers, build roads, and mark out areas to wait for the construction of houses."
Shangguan Ruomeng relied entirely on his own guesses to plan the entire repair process. In fact, this was pretty good. Even if Feng Jueyu had seen many engineers before, it was generally like this. However, Shangguan Ruomeng still didn't think comprehensively enough.
Feng Jueyu smiled: "Do you have any other opinions?"
Wang Tong said: "I think we should build huts first, otherwise there will be no place to rest."
"Well, what about you, Tong'er?"
Li Tong'er blushed: "You need people to prepare pots and dishes, but sister Ruomeng just said that there are not enough people?"
Zhu Yeqing felt that his head was getting big. This was completely different from maintaining the development of a noble family: "Brother, how about sending more people from the Zhu family?"
Feng Jueyu chuckled and said: "There are so many people in the Zhu family, even the upper and lower members are not enough."
"That's true! What should we do?"
Sima Ruyu said: "I'm afraid the current plan will cost more money. Eight thousand people are not enough. How about recruiting another two thousand people?"
Feng Jueyu touched his nose: "That's right, but money doesn't come in vain. If you can, save some."
"What's Brother Feng's suggestion?" Everyone then realized that Feng Jueyu hadn't said anything.
Feng Jueyu smiled and said: "Let's all come and see." He pointed at the sand table and drew a circle on the outside: "Eleven towns were split from the original area of Nakano City. There should be hundreds of thousands of people in total. Although these people
They are not as good as the workers we recruited. They are not as young and strong as them, but they are still local residents. These hundreds of thousands of people are not a small number. We are here to rebuild Nakano Castle. I believe they will support and approve it. If these laborers are not used,
, isn’t it wasted in vain?”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Zhu Yeqing took a breath: "Brother, did you have a plan before you came?"
Shangguan Ruomeng suddenly understood: "Brother Feng is absolutely right. Since they are residents here, the private army of Nakano City will also send out manpower to protect them in the future. They should also do their part, and we don't need to be too strict with them."
Doing something that cannot be done, just cleaning up the ruins in the city is enough to save a lot of manpower."
"You can also borrow their nearby residential houses to accommodate more workers and put up fewer tents." Li Tong'er clapped her hands and smiled.
"Hundreds of thousands of people, God, if they were all mobilized, it would be no problem to rebuild Nakano Castle, but..." Zhu Yeqing thought for a moment and wondered: "Brother, how can you guarantee that they will definitely join in?
And if you don’t give money, many people may not be willing to agree.”
"Then it's a matter of opinion." Feng Jueyu chuckled and said: "Wang Tong, wrote the article, mobilized the farmers in the eleventh town of Zhongye City, and told them that those who are willing to join in the reconstruction of Zhongye City, after renovating the ancient city, will
Every household and even every person has the right to own their own land and can build residences on it. If they don't want to, then the city lord has no obligation to take care of them."
In fact, the solution Feng Jueyu thought of was nothing more than the resettlement of household registration in the previous life. How many acres of land each person had, and how much the family owned. Anyway, now that there is an owner in Nakano City, if you don’t work, you will have no place to live. This is not Feng Jueyu’s intention to set up
The key to land policy is that we are all local residents, so we have to do our best, right?
Moreover, in the completed Nakano Castle, both streets and residences must be planned in a unified manner. If people want to be prosperous and healthy, of course it is best to live in a big city.
Feng Jueyu arrived again: "The ferocious beasts are rampant on Huangyue Mountain in the southwest. After a while, the ferocious beasts will be driven away and the land will be reclaimed. Whoever makes the greatest contribution will be given fertile land."
"I understand." Zhu Yeqing suddenly realized: "You are looking for profit and inducement. You don't have to spend any money, and you can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to help you build the city. You don't have to recruit workers anymore."
Feng Jueyu shook his head: "Brother Zhu, two different properties cannot be confused. Carrying, cutting down trees, and carrying bricks and stones can still be done by young and strong men, while women can cook and carry water."
"You are making the best use of everything!" Shangguan Ruomeng covered her mouth and kept laughing, and the frown on her face disappeared without a trace.
Feng Jueyu solved the boss's problem with one sentence. Everyone seemed to have grasped the direction and smiled happily.
Zhu Yeqing was admiring repeatedly from the side, staring at Feng Jueyu as if he were looking at a monster: "Brother, I really don't understand you, how do you know so much?"
"Uh! I'm just reading a book." Feng Jueyu didn't know how to answer. Did he tell him that I came from time-to-time? Changing the topic, Feng Jueyu shouted: "Go down and set up a tent in the city first. Today
Get some sleep at night and start working tomorrow."
