Start a city building order

Chapter 156 I'm sorry for not repairing the Great Wall
The weather has been fine for several days in a row. Although it is still extremely cold, the sound of snow melting can already be heard under the thick ice and snow.

From a trickle, it gradually converges into a turbid mountain stream, converging from top to bottom.

The first thing to suffer is the official road, which turns into mud during the day and freezes again at night, greatly hindering traffic.

After a few more days, the situation did not ease, but became more serious. The melted snow was everywhere, gathered together, and raged on the wide plain like wild horses.

Small-scale flooding has already begun in certain low-lying areas.

At the same time, there were strange noises in the frozen river day and night, which was the ice layer breaking.

Also because of this situation, the Song Dynasty army on the south bank of the river never crossed the river, but there may be other reasons.

These days, Li Si watched the celestial phenomena every night, but all he saw was darkness, and there were no previous various celestial phenomena and dragon pictures. It seemed that the world had entered the Dharma-ending era overnight.

Destiny seems to be completely lost.

However, it doesn't seem to have any special effect.

Not even the West has changed.

But Li Si didn't dare to be careless. Over the past few days, he summoned the craftsmen of the Chu family who had surrendered to the army, and also summoned a group of the best master craftsmen from his side to tackle key problems collectively, and finally achieved some results.

"Your Highness, this is the granular gunpowder that the Tiannan Chu Sect spent a hundred years concocting. It is about [-]% more powerful than the gunpowder purchased from the West. However, the power is still not enough to allow muskets to break shields and armor at close range. .”

"Very well, you have done a good job."

Li Si did not hesitate to praise, "Now find a way to increase the output, the lonely king only needs [-] catties."

Fifty thousand catties, that is, 25 tons, is the amount he plans to allocate gunpowder with the national transport.

Because the national luck is a little bit less, so he can't test it again and again, he can only take a one-step method.

Yidian Guoyun is equipped with 25 tons of gunpowder, and Yidian Guoyun is equipped with [-] tons of gunpowder. He should not be disappointed.

For this reason, the corresponding rifled flintlock must also be the most sophisticated. Several master blacksmiths are already making different steel pipes according to the descriptions of Chu's military craftsmen. Whether they can finally work depends on the effect.

While this matter was in full swing, another key ordnance project also reported frequent success.

That is the serial heavy crossbow imitating the Acropolis Zhang's. This thing can fire five crossbow guns at once, or five crossbow guns in sequence. It is very useful when dealing with monsters, especially with the ability to snipe in the air.

Although the consumption of steel by this gadget is extremely terrifying, Li Si still placed an order for a thousand units.

Fortunately, today's Ministry of Industry has expanded into six departments again. There is a Mining Department in charge of mining, a Transportation Department in charge of transportation, a Smelting Department in charge of smelting, and a department in charge of trebuchets, eight-ox crossbows, and chain rings. The Heavy Weapons Department of heavy crossbows has an Ordnance Department in charge of conventional swords, guns, arrows and armor, and a Special Ordnance Department in charge of research and development of firearms.

The six divisions of the Ministry of Industry alone cover more than 3 craftsmen and more than 2 support staff.

All kinds of tools and equipment needed by the people are all operated in the form of large-scale workshops, that is, the government injects capital and cooperates with experienced shops. For details, refer to the model of Suji Buxing.

This is also to reduce the pressure on management. When the power is first established, it can be coordinated. When the situation stabilizes and the market expands, it is necessary to let go of these light industries.

After all, as a market with a population of nearly one million, it would be a pity not to develop it.

In addition, another plan of Li Si this year is large-scale infrastructure construction.

As far as possible, the people who are farming are transferred from the land.

Because right now, with livestock and the more advanced Quyuan plow, a farmer family with two and a half strong laborers can easily plant 30 mu of farmland, and with a bit of hard work, there is no pressure at all to plant 50 mu of farmland.

On this point, the internal affairs department followed Li Si's instructions last year to carry out early deployment and diversion.

For example, in theory, everyone can share the land, but if there are no strong laborers, craftsmen, or soldiers in the family, they will all be rented and sold at the government's price. You don't need to know where your land is, but You will be given the full amount of rent every year.

In this way, Li Si gave most of the land to the farmers who were best at farming. For these farmers’ families, two cattle were necessary for each family, and a pack horse or mule, or two donkeys were also required. The most important thing is that those old big cars that have been eliminated, one by one.

In this way, the productivity of these farmers in farming has at least doubled.

Li Si's goal is to use 100 farmers to solve the food problem of [-] million people.

Of course there are actually more than this number.

Because there are fruit farmers, vegetable farmers, fishermen, shepherds, and hunters.

In this way, Li Si will have close to [-] young adults who can carry out large-scale infrastructure construction.

For these people who were semi-forced to leave the land, Li Si's subsidies were very strong.

First of all, before the spring plowing starts, one year’s rent will be given, and houses will be built in cities, counties, and towns for free. If there is no wife, introduce a daughter-in-law, and those who have a daughter-in-law will introduce jobs. .

This three-pronged approach can appease people's hearts.

"The lonely king wants to build a Great Wall."

When Li Si revealed his plan, everyone thought they heard it wrong.

Everyone knows the Great Wall. On the northern border of Dayan, there is a Great Wall built in the past dynasties, but can it be the same as here?

As the prince of Dayan, you don't want to restore the capital, but the cat can't go out here in Luming Mountain. If you don't go out, it's fine, but you still want to build the Great Wall?
God!

It's simply incomprehensible, shouldn't His Highness aim to dominate the world, dominate the Kyushu, and create a unified empire through the ages?
But Li Si doesn't care if these guys understand or not, the reason why he works so hard to stay up late every day is for a sense of security, not even a Great Wall, my sense of security can't stabilize the market.

"The lonely king has made up his mind, Qin Xiaodao, the lonely king has promoted you to the general of urban construction. From now on, we will recruit 100 young and strong men. The monthly settlement will be [-] yuan per person per month. In addition, two days of family leave will be given. From the west of Yanhui Mountain The old site of Dashi County began to build the city wall to the south, until it reached Lucheng, and then from Lucheng to Pingcheng Ferry."

"Du Hai, the lonely king will also promote you to the rank of city construction general. From now on, we will recruit [-] young men, with the same reward, to build a city wall facing south from the east of Yanhui Mountain, passing through Woniugang and Wenshui County. Until Jinfan Ferry."

"Cheng Daniu, as the head of the palace's Ministry of Industry, you are responsible for supervising and coordinating the construction of these two city walls."

"Except for military affairs, the construction of these two city walls should be the top priority for all other affairs. Gu Wang hopes that you will provide Gu Wang with a charter and specific standards for the construction of the city walls as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, will our army go north to Jincheng this year?"

Zhao Shan, the new head of the Ministry of War, hesitated for a long time before he seized the opportunity to ask, because Dong Erdai, the general who conquered the North, had been gearing up for a long time. After the spring plowing was over, he would go north to Jincheng and recover the King City of Yan. Well, every general will not refuse.

"If the time permits, of course I will go north to Jincheng!"

Li Si replied without hesitation, of course this kind of thing can't be denied, but he absolutely can't really go out, what's going on now, maybe the next moment will be the end of the world.

What's more, have you asked the army of the Song Clan or the army of the Cui family?Have you asked the army of the Zhang family in the Acropolis?
In a word, build the Great Wall first.

(There are a lot of things in the past two days, so I will update them temporarily, sorry, sorry)
