Three days later, Fatty Ding's first payment arrived, a total of [-] million taels of gold, more than half of which were silver bills, and the remaining small part was real gold and silver, and even that small part was packed into a bag. Hundreds of 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 never seen such a rich man before.And looking at the sides of the mighty convoy, more than two hundred strong men stared at the passers-by with serious faces, and they knew that this team might belong to the newly promoted Nakano City Lord.

This is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that since the first day, Zhongtian City has posted a notice, which is a notice to recruit miners and loggers. They get half of each, and the monthly salary is a dime, including food and housing, and those who are looking for work for the construction of Nakano City, as long as they are young and strong adults can join.

A penny is equal to one tael of silver, and the monthly salary of 8000 people reached 8000 taels, not including food and drink. Such a large amount of money immediately caused a big commotion in Zhongtian City.

Ordinary people can make a lot of money in a busy year, farming, selling vegetables, hunting and so on. After hearing that Feng Jueyu recruited workers, the annual salary reached 12 taels of silver, and there was a huge crowd of migrant workers flocking here. There was no room for so many people in the city, so Feng Jueyu ordered people to organize dozens of camps outside the city and register them separately.Since that day, more than a thousand carts of copper coins have come out of Zhongtian City and various surrounding towns, and they have been transported outside Zhongtian City one after another. Such a large-scale recruitment is unprecedented, let alone unprecedented.

And this recruitment took more than seven full days to get the number of people together.

Not only that, Feng Jueyu also needs manpower to excavate the secret treasure. 4000 people are just an initial estimate. God knows how many Taixuan secret treasures are there. All the common people in the city joined in the construction of Zhongye City and the excavation of secret treasures, making Zhongtian City very lively.

A few days later, on a small hill between Shahe Town and Huaiqing Village, Feng Jueyu temporarily set up a tent. At this moment, it was the center of the original Nakano City. Looking down from the hill, you can vaguely see the old Nakano The splendor of the city, the khaki withered vines climbing the walls of the ancient city, the random piles of stones revealing the traces of the old houses, the surrounding fields are flat, the collapsed embankments and bridges are dry rivers, and there are several rivers not far away. A farmer is cultivating wheat and rice in the randomly reclaimed fields, and the water introduced by the artificially dug river in the distance is turbulent...

In Feng Jueyu's eyes, this place is a wasteland. The farmers who come across here are all migrating from various places. Since there are very few canals here, there are not many fertile fields that can be irrigated. Obviously, there are few people and it is desolate. I feel sad.

In the camp, Feng Jueyu, Shangguan Ruomeng, Li Tong'er and others were all there, seeing the desolation of the surrounding fields, they couldn't help feeling deeply.Especially Shangguan Ruomeng, who was used to the prosperity, never thought that Zhongye City near Zhongtian City would become like this.

The topographical map of Nakano City was drawn on the temporary sand table in the camp. The map was obtained from the Ming family, because it was rushed here. Except for the recruited workers, warriors from the major families had not yet arrived. Yuhe was also absent. As for the reason, Feng Jueyu found it ridiculous that this guy actually lied about his old illness.Feng Jueyu saw that he attended the meeting, how could he not recover, in fact, he just wanted to wait for it to be ready.

However, Feng Jueyu felt that it would be good if Zhong Yuhe didn't come, who knew if that treacherous boy would cause any problems for him when he came here, since he didn't come, everything was up to him.

"Sister Ruomeng, where do you think we should start?" Feng Jueyu pointed at the sand table, he had to be in a hurry, the money was borrowed by himself, and a day's delay would cost 8000 taels of silver. Are you playing around with money?

Shangguan Ruo dreamed about it, shook his head and said, "We basically don't have enough manpower, just look how big the city is."

She pointed to the sand table and said: "The sum of the city walls in the four directions is about hundreds of miles. Just repairing the city walls requires a lot of manpower, and we have very little material now. Some of them have to be cut down trees, and the other part is transported to the city walls." It is said that more than 1000 people can be saved. Later, a group of workers will go to the Taixuan Secret Treasure to dig in a few days. The construction in the city means that no one can use it, but it cannot be left alone. it's useless."

"And then?" Zhu Yeqing also followed, he wanted to see how Feng Jueyu would spend the [-] million taels he borrowed from Fatty Ding?

Shangguan Ruo dreamed and thought: "I think 1000 people should be dispatched to cut down the forest first, and the gaps in the city wall should be fenced up first, and then the stones will be transported and piled up, and then 1000 people should be dispatched to carry them. Carrying bricks and stones, carrying 2000 people, starting from the direction of Shayu Pass, it took 2000 people - 5000 people were used to transport grain, and then came back and all were used for the construction of the city. These 500 people cleaned up all the sundries in the ruins. For things like grass and stones, it is best to clean up the ruins within a month, then dig rivers, build roads, and delineate areas for housing.”

Shangguan Ruomeng planned the entire repair process entirely on his own guesswork, which is actually quite good, even if Feng Jueyu had met many engineers before, it was roughly the same.But Shangguan Ruomeng still didn't think comprehensively enough.

Feng Jueyu smiled: "Do you have any comments?"

Wang Tong said: "I think we should build thatched huts first, otherwise there will be no place to rest."

"En. What about you, Tonger?"

Li Tonger blushed: "Preparing pots and bowls requires people, but sister Ruomeng just said that there are not enough people?"

Zhu Yeqing felt that his head was getting bigger, which was completely different from maintaining the development of a family: "Brother, why don't you send more people from the Zhu family?"

Feng Jueyu chuckled and said: "How many people are there in the Zhu family, even if you count the servants, it's not enough."

"That's right! How can I do it?"

Sima Ruyu said: "I'm afraid the current plan will cost more money, 8000 people are not enough, recruit another 2000 people?"

Feng Jueyu touched his nose: "It should be, but the money is not for nothing, so save some if you can."

"What suggestion does Brother Feng have?" Only then did everyone realize that Feng Jueyu hadn't said anything.

Feng Jueyu smiled and said: "Everyone come and see." He pointed to the sand table and drew a circle around the periphery: "Eleven towns were split from the original area of ​​Nakano City, and there should be a total of several 10 people. They are not as young and strong as the workers we recruited, but they are still local residents. These 10 people are not a small number. We are here to rebuild Nakano City. I believe they will support and agree. If these labor forces are not used , isn’t it a waste of money?”

Everyone heard the words, their eyes lit up, Zhu Yeqing took a breath: "Brother, did you have a plan before you came?"

Shangguan Ruomeng suddenly became enlightened: "Brother Feng is right, since they are residents here, the private army of Nakano City will send people to protect them in the future, and they should also do their part, and we don't have to ask them too harshly. 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 houses nearby to accommodate more workers and save a few tents." Li Tonger clapped her hands and laughed.

"Several 10 people, God, if they are all mobilized, it will be no problem to rebuild Nakano City, but..." Zhu Yeqing thought for a while, wondering: "Brother, how can you guarantee that they will definitely be able to join in? And if you don’t give money, many people may not agree.”

"That's a matter of opinion." Feng Jueyu chuckled, and said, "Wang Tong, write a list, mobilize the farmers in the eleven towns of Zhongye City, and tell them that those who are willing to join in the reconstruction of Zhongye City, after rebuilding the ancient city, Every household or even every individual has the right to own their own land, and they can build houses on it, and those who don’t want to, oh, the city lord has no obligation to manage them.”

In fact, the method Feng Jueyu thought of was nothing more than resettlement household registration in the previous life, how many acres of land each person had, and how much the family owned. Anyway, now that Zhongye City has an owner, if you don’t work, you will have no place to live. This is not Feng Jueyu’s intentional establishment. The key to land policy is that everyone is a local resident, so you have to do your best, right?

Moreover, in the completed Nakano City, both streets and residences must be planned in a unified manner. If people want to be prosperous and healthy, of course it is better to live in the big city.

Feng Jueyu came again: "The ferocious beasts are rampant on the Huangyue Mountain in the southwest. After a while, the ferocious beasts will be driven away, and the land will be reclaimed. Whoever contributes the most will give him good land."

"I understand." Zhu Yeqing suddenly realized: "You are a lure, and you don't need to spend money, and you can mobilize tens of thousands of people to help you build the city. If this is the case, you don't need to recruit workers."

Feng Jueyu shook his head: "Brother Zhu, the two are different in nature and cannot be confused with each other. Moving, cutting down trees, and moving bricks and stones can only be done by a young and strong man, and a woman can cook and carry water."

"You are using everything to the best of your ability!" Shangguan Ruomeng kept his mouth covered and kept laughing, and the frowning just now disappeared without a trace.

Feng Jueyu solved the boss's problem with one sentence, everyone seemed to be grasping the direction, and all of them were smiling.

Zhu Yeqing praised again and again, staring at Feng Jueyu as if looking at a monster: "Brother, I really don't understand you, how do you know so much?"

"Uh! I read it." Feng Jueyu didn't know how to answer, did he tell him that I came here through time travel?Changing the topic, Feng Jueyu shouted: "Order to go down, set up a tent in the city first, get some sleep tonight, and start working tomorrow."
