The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 366 New City Establishment
Xun Yu didn't play with his authority, but just talked to them nicely: "I have already told you about the city I want to build here, but now, the people here are a bit difficult to serve. One mu of land costs a hundred gold. !"

Those officials were immediately surprised: "One hundred gold? You gave it?"

Xun Yu nodded: "Baijin, I bought a village's field, but I can't do this later, because I still need a lot of fields, so it's not worthwhile to do it. I called you here today to discuss it with you and see what you can do. Can we come forward and solve this problem?"

"Then how much do you plan to pay for their fields? Or just drive them away and expropriate them by force?"

Xun Yu smiled: "Of course I want to buy it, but my price is one mu and one gold!"

"Ah?" Those officials were immediately dumbfounded.

"My lord, one gold is enough to feed the first half of the year. Even if the common people sell their fields and live frugally for the rest of their lives, they are afraid that it will not be enough. Without the fields, there will be no roads in the future!"

Xun Yu shook his head: "Who said there are no roads? I am building a new city here, and there will be roads everywhere in the future!"

Those officials still looked suspicious.

So Gou smiled and said, "To build a new city, tell me, how many people are needed?"

"It's a small city, so it needs ten thousand people?" Several officials who knew a little about this said immediately.

Xun Yu nodded: "Since I came here to build a city, do you think I will build a small city? To tell you the truth, our Majesty wants to build a magnificent city here, ten times bigger than your previous country! Such a city, how many In ten years, it will be in a state of construction and expansion! The people around here can come here to work."

"Work!" All the officials were overjoyed.

Because, according to Da Wei's habit, one has to pay for work, and the reward is quite a lot!
But immediately someone said again: "My lord, we need strong men to build a city, but we old people, women and children, let's do it? If they are farming, they can also help. Now building a city, one or two strong men in every household may not be enough to support the family!"

Xun Yu waved his hand: "Why do you still not understand? This is a construction project that has lasted for decades, and tens of thousands of people participate in it every year! So many people gather here, basic necessities of life, do you want to solve it?"

"Old people and women can't do heavy work, can't cook? Can't make clothes and mend? As for children, in the future, we will build a school here, and all children must go to school, read and write, and they will be selected to be officials in the future! Come to our Great Wei Do you know the concept of being an official under the system?"

The eyes of those officials immediately turned red. Anyone who has anything to do with Wei can make a lot of money, let alone be an official in Wei's system!
"Now, can you handle this matter?"

Xun Yu asked again.

"Yes! I can! If the people here are not willing, we will bring our own people!"

These officials are the same as the Great Wei in the past, and they are also representatives of the big clan. Behind each of them, there are nearly ten thousand or more than ten thousand people who are close to each other. It can mobilize about [-] people.

Xun Yu still believed in their energy.

Constrained by their vision, the local people are unwilling to accept the price of one gold, but are more willing to let them move when the officials propose several times the land.

In less than half a month, all the aborigines left around Xunyu New Town.

What these aborigines couldn't figure out was that as soon as they left, those big clans and officials rushed to move in with their own clansmen!
"We seem to have missed something?" Although the aborigines were short-sighted, it didn't mean they were complete idiots.

Those rich nobles, without any interest, how could they give them several times the land and let them move?

Soon after, these common people were watching in the new city during their slack.

Those big families who moved in did not farm there, but started to build houses and organize streets inside.

The houses they built have obvious oriental elements, but their craftsmanship is still subconsciously integrated into Guishuang's style.

Every first half of the month, the aborigines can see that the great Wei official here will send a lot of money to the children of those rich families.

They inquired for a long time, and finally found out that the weak craftsmen here can earn one thousand copper coins a day, and one gold in ten days!In one year, you can earn thirty gold!
What about farming?Today's food is simply sweet potatoes grown on a large scale, which can't be sold at any price!A hundred acres of land a year can only be sold for a few hundred copper coins.

At this time, these common people began to understand why they came out, while those big clans were frantically pouring in.

It turns out that the most valuable thing in this new city is not their land, but their labor!
It's a pity that those who are the best at labor have missed the opportunity to make a lot of money by working hard.

A year later, Xun Yu wrote in a letter: "Your Majesty, the construction of the new city has begun to take shape! Steel, glass, docks, sealing, oil refining and other processes are all in place, and the manpower is fully equipped, ready to start work!"

Zhao Feng was overjoyed immediately after receiving the report.

Half a year later, Gou Yu wrote: "Your Majesty, the large port built by Zhou Yu has been completed. It is bigger than the Roman Alexandria! The key point is that many of the cargo ships and warships built by Sun Ce have also been successfully launched. Prepare to travel between the two places and deliver goods in large quantities!"

Another half a year later, Xun Yu wrote again: "Your Majesty, asphalt has been mass-produced, and now it has been mixed with rock asphalt, which is extremely stable. It is being built from Xincheng to Mulu City in the north. However, the journey is far away, and it may take ten years. Long!"

When Zhao Feng saw this letter, he couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, with today's technology, manpower and material resources, it is too difficult to build roads on a large scale! Thousands of years of accumulation cannot be made up overnight. of!"

However, thanks to the appearance of the big Wei ship, shipping is completely alive!
Because of the strengthening of sea transportation, from Xincheng Port to Alexandria Port, or the ports around Yangzhou, there are endless ships along the way.

As Xun Yu expected, Xincheng has indeed become a central link, a central city!
However, Zhou Yu is still a little uncertain about Xun Yu:
"I said, Wen Ruo, the new city now stretches over [-] miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south. Don't you want to expand it? There is no sign of repairing the city wall yet? What are you going to do? Without the city wall, it's not safe. !"

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "What do you want the city wall for? Your navy is also stationed here, and my [-] troops are stationed around it all the time. Who dares to make trouble?"

Zhou Yu frowned: "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if someone colludes inside and outside, and a large force invades, then we will fall into a passive situation! At that time, if there is any key person, in case Hijacked in the chaos, such a large site is hard to find! If there are secret passages or something, I'm afraid something bad will happen!"
