I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 177: Li Zicheng can deal with this person!

After plowing the fields in the middle of the night, Li Zicheng returned to his kang, slept soundly, got up and went out before the sun was bright.

The construction site is in full swing, how can he, the village head, only care about his own comfort?

He was wearing an undershirt and holding a dry pipe in his hand.

This is something from my hometown in northern Shaanxi. I always feel that once a man is in power, it is difficult to reflect his sense of identity without holding one or two things in his hands.

"Mr. Li, are you here so early?"

Just after entering the gate of the 'Tool Processing Factory', several young people were squatting on the open space to eat breakfast with tired faces.

Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables.

Well, Widow Dong's group of mothers-in-law and aunts are really reliable. They strictly follow the specifications for receiving VIPs and take good care of the daily life of several 'technicians' from Daming Academy.

This made Li Zicheng quite proud.

As a village head, the most important thing is to stick a pole to the end, so that every farmer understands that Long Live God is by everyone's side...

"Several brothers, did you stay up all night?" Li Zicheng asked with a smile, "It is important to catch up with the project, but you must also pay attention to your health.

You young people just don't know how to cherish yourself.

You all went to school in the capital, haven't you heard a mantra of the Long Live Lord? "

"What mantra?"

Several young people asked in astonishment.

"Ahem, Long Live Lord once said that young people don't know how valuable gold is, but when they grow old, they cry at Kakong..."

Several young people: "..."

Unexpectedly, the famous sayings and aphorisms of Long Live Lord have spread so far?
Even the village head Li, who is far away on Pengbao Island in Taiwan, can say a few words...

Horror!
"Haha, I'm not kidding anymore," Li Zicheng showed off a "famous saying and aphorism" of the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian, and then said seriously: "Let's talk about what to do next.

Our old Li doesn't know much about technical work, but as long as you work hard, or organize people to work hard, you can just tell me, I promise it will be okay! "

A sentence in northern Shaanxi dialect made everyone laugh.

"Village Chief Li, speaking of the following projects, you really need to come forward."

A young man spread out a map, pointed to a thick line on it, and said, "Look, village chief, this is the only way from Taohua City to Taohua Port;

We designed a road whose specification is a railway.

In fact, after the construction is completed, your horse-drawn carts, mule carts, donkey carts, and ox carts can all be used before the imperial steam train is brought over.

As soon as the steam train arrives, we can go straight to traffic. "

"Steam train? Railway?"

Li Zicheng looked excited.

No wonder.

From the mouths of those little pirate bosses, Li Zicheng has heard more than once that the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian ordered Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and others to design a steel monster that eats coal and spits white smoke;

That thing is said to be able to pull tens of thousands of catties of coal at a time, which is even more powerful than Zhuge Kongming's wooden cow and horse!
Could it be that in our Peach Blossom City, we also want to build railways and trains?

"Brothers, are you telling the truth? We, Taohua City, also want to build a railway to connect trains?" Li Zicheng asked eagerly.

"Yes," a young man said with a smile, "Long Live God sent us here to help the people on the island with infrastructure;

Among them, there are three most important.

First, build a castle and be ready to beat the bastards at any time;
Second, build the railway.

The third point is to open mines, smelt steel, build hundreds of large factories, and develop our Taiwan Pengbao Island into one of the most developed port cities in the Ming Dynasty.

Village Chief Li, when you become a high official, don't forget the grace of our Long Live Lord. "

Li Zicheng grinned and said with a chuckle: "How can it be!"

He is a village, no, he is the director now, how dare he imagine that he will be a high official one day...

"By the way, little brother, what are you talking about asking me to come forward?" Li Zicheng asked suddenly.

"That's right." The young man pointed to the map and said dejectedly: "This railway is a key project appointed by the Lord Long Live, but it needs to pass through more than a dozen other villages along the way, which will inevitably occupy some farmland;
When we were measuring yesterday, we were surrounded by villagers, and they almost tried to fight us desperately. "

When Li Zicheng heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

In fact, this is not to blame for the villagers whose farmland has been invaded. It was the will of Long Live God to build the railway, but similarly, it was also the will of Long Live God to open up wasteland and farmland.

People eat for food.

Which one of the people transported by Zheng Zhilong's big ship has not experienced famine?Thinking about the days when there was no land, it was considered good to sell children and daughters, and many families had to change their sons and eat.

Now, how can we destroy dozens of acres of land with great difficulty?

"Go and tell those villagers that for the encroachment on other people's fields, Long Live God has already ordered compensation according to the price, and compensation according to the price for the damaged field crops.

Tell me, would you like to compensate them for their 15 years of land loss? "

Several young people are experts in technology, but they seem to be at a loss when it comes to matters involving disputes over cultivated land.

"It's simple," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "It's just some farmland, just pay them compensation."

"The wasteland that has just been reclaimed, in fact, if you want to get a good harvest, you have to go through three to five years of hard work, and just pay them ten years of compensation.

Of course, if I don't want to, I can find a way to reclaim another piece of wasteland for them.

Moreover, it is also a water land with guaranteed harvest in drought and flood! "

Li Zicheng said in a big way.

Now, the young people were finally relieved.

"You guys go ahead, I'm going to clear the way for our railway!"

Li Zicheng didn't speak any more, he clasped his fists and greeted him, then turned and left.

When he got home, he tidied up a little, found a few pieces of cold meat, wrapped them in oiled paper, stuffed them in his arms, and planned to eat them while on the road.

After going out to the stables, he let the horses eat two catties of bean cakes and drank a lot of water, then he got on his horse and walked slowly towards Taohuagang...

……

In the tool processing factory, several young people gathered together and talked in low voices.

While revising the blueprint, they chatted casually: "You say, why does our Long Live Lord value this Village Chief Li so much?

This man from northern Shaanxi, apart from his forthright disposition and candid deeds, seems to be quite normal. "

"In my opinion, this person is not simple." A young man said in a deep voice: "In troubled times, he can earn a life among the dead in Shaanxi and Gansu, and he can live a prosperous life on this island." , How can it be an ordinary person?
Moreover, we have seen a lot of ordinary people.

Have you seen how many men from farming families have such courage?The farmland along the railway line is the lifeblood of the common people, and if one fails, they will fight you hard.

However, in the eyes of Village Chief Li, it seems as simple as drinking cold water..."

Several people agreed one after another, thinking that Li Zicheng is a hero.

can.

Of course, the specifics depend on whether he can solve the big matter in front of him.
