Chapter 128 Undercurrent is surging

The new Shamen Town will be the crown prism, with a circumference of 1,200 steps, nearly two miles. The new city is square, with three hundred steps on each side. Open four doors, four gates plus four urns, and dig a moat outside the city one zhang deep and three zhang wide. The budget for building the new castle is 50,000 jin, 8,000 shi of grain, and 3,000 labour. The construction period is one year.

However, Li Jing can't afford so much money now, but he still insists on building the crown castle in Xincheng.

"But a good wife can't cook without rice!" The old craftsman heard that Li Jing insisted on building the crown brigade, but he could only take out ten thousand guan and three thousand stones of grain, and couldn't help laughing. There was no such good thing in the world. The city had to be repaired, but the money could not be taken out.

Li Jing smiled and stopped several craftsmen who wanted to pile up their picks, saying, "Actually, things have not reached that point. I have calculated it. If we plan well and save a little, it is still OK."

"Then the general will tell us a 4, 5, 6, and we want to see the general's ability." Seeing Li Jing's words in a kind manner, several old men couldn't help but become a little dependent on their seniority at this time.

Li Jing’s plan is very simple. Since the money is not enough, the first stage will only build four walls. Because the four walls have to be built into the crown ridge, the cost is the most expensive. Even if Li Jing only builds four walls, the cost will be 30,000 guan.

"When the two walls on the east and south sides are demolished, the masonry and stone materials can continue to be used. The east and south sides are rebuilt according to the requirements of the bastion walls, while the west and north sides are not completely demolished, and we only renovated the crown ridges on the basis of the original walls. In this way, the cost and construction period should be saved a lot."

We will only build four walls, including the urn city, corner tower, city gate tower, arrow tower, and moat. Moreover, the reconstruction and expansion plans in the city will be left for the second and third phases. As long as the key city wall is built, the defense of the bastion will be available. Safety first, and Ke Xin will slowly find a way out.

Li Jing also thought about the work and entry. He had a ready-made entry, so why should I recruit workers? More than 300 strong men in the labor camp can go to the construction site immediately after a month. Although the dozens of garrison soldiers broke their legs and took some time to recover from the injury, they would be able to go to the land to survive at most two months. What's more, Li Jing now has two or three thousand young women and boys and girls. These entry has not yet lived, and the fields are too small, and the workshop has not reached that scale. They are just putting them on the construction site to help build a city. Li Jing didn't give them wages, but they must save a lot. Even when it is critical, he can still write an IOU and owe something.

Li Jing's decision was discussed and approved at the first officer meeting of Shamen Town. It was not just a discussion, but it was just a briefing. Li Jing made the current security situation urgently, and the military generals and civil servants below had no objection at all. Now everyone brings their families to this island, who doesn't want to make their hometown safer?

After unanimous agreement, the formal construction project began immediately. First, the new wall foundation was drawn outside the original city on the east and south. Then, while organizing the excavation foundation, the original two walls began to be demolished. The new city was much larger than the original, as big as the original three. The buildings in the original castle were retained, and the newly expanded area on the southeast was two large ones in the original castle.

In the new urban area in the southeast, firstly, a neat residential area like tofu blocks was marked, and the residents were divided into nine fangs by tic-tactic street. The south side was left as a residential fang, with nine fangs and four main streets. Opposite to the residential fang and northeastern, there was a preset office area where the General's Mansion and other staff offices in Shamen Town would be built, and the grain warehouse, armory and other warehouses were set up in this area. Many open spaces were reserved in this area, which were specially designed to build schools, square venues, martial arts venues, stages, and East China Sea Dragon King Hall.

The one near the old city in the northwest is the newly-demarcated Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and new shops and trade Shifang District. In the future, after the new city is planned to be built, the original old castle area will be completely transformed into a workshop area. At that time, the southeast was the Juminfang District, the northeast was the office area, the northwest was the Shifang District, and the south south was the workshop area, and life and work were completely separated. Fangwaifangmen would be added to each market.

This standardization can be said to be very good. If the new city is built, it will be able to accommodate all of Li Jing's subordinates into the city. During the groundbreaking ceremony, Li Jing publicly promised the thousands of soldiers attending the meeting and their families that all the soldiers who participated in the construction of the city will enjoy one of their own houses in the nine residential yards in the city after the new city is built.

As soon as this sentence was released, it completely ignited the enthusiasm of the soldiers and families who had just moved and lived in the temporarily dug nest. After more than 6,000 yuan, the whole family and young all went on the battle. They all said that they did not need wages at all, just take care of the meal. Everyone didn't care about hard work, they just hoped that they could build a new city as soon as possible and divide a house of their own.

Seeing this, Li Jing was so happy that he had such a good thing. However, some families who joined the house worked in the workshop, and some were divided into their own land and could not all come to the construction site to work. In order to show fairness, Li Jing Qianqian asked Zhang Hong to divide all the old and young into work teams, and then sent some people to divide the labor, accept, and give them scores, recording the work points for each team.

The work points for each income and death are recorded. Li Jing said that in the future, every new house will not be bought with money, but will be priced with a certain amount of work points. Everyone uses their own work points to subscribe to a new house without paying. However, if the work points are too small, they can only choose the worst one, and they have to pay for the work points that are insufficiently subsidized.

For a time, the immigrants on Shamen Island, both men and women, all carried hoes, dustpans, and baskets, and worked hard to dig the soil and pick up the soil. Even the children were sensible to help.

Seeing these extremely enthusiastic immigrants who were not bright and still couldn't bear to go back, Zhang Hongmeiyao sighed several times. In his opinion, Li Jing's work points system is really amazing. In this way, the few thousand workers in the city don't have to pay any extra wages, which saves a lot of money. Moreover, the workers can work hard so hard without supervision. After all, these workers have built the city and built the houses in the city by then. In the end, except for the food of Meiyao, they only get a house. To put it in, the workers have built their own houses and built public facilities such as the city walls.

Li Jing smiled: "You underestimate the desire for a people's home. No matter how hard you work, if you can have your own house, they will be willing to eat whatever kind of hardship they have. Besides, don't think I have taken advantage of everyone. I am so anxious to build a new city, but it is not for me to enter. With a new city, everyone can live and work in peace. We also pay the capital. Although sand, stone, soil is not just sand, soil, and bricks are not enough for every ship of the ship, and these are all bought with real money."

In addition to buying bricks and stones, there is also a lot of wood needed. Moreover, although the inner city has to be ranked second in the second phase of the project, the drilling of wells cannot be delayed. Nearly 10,000 yuan has been invested here on the island, and the original wells are not enough. Considering that there will be greater development in the future, Li Jing began to dig wells in the city from now on.

The city was built, the well was dug, the workshop was started, and the land was reclaimed. Except for a few piers in Shamen Island, the always-deserted island began to be noisy and lively.

The lively city building action in the middle of Shaman Island, but the surrounding commercial areas, Beitou Village and Shanqian Village seem to have never heard of, and there is not even a single visit to congratulate and watch. Sun Deyan reminded: "In addition to Yao Street in Phoenix Wharf, the other three docks also gathered a small wharf town. In addition to Shanqian Village and Beitou Village, there are six gathering points, with more than 30,000 entrances at the entrance. But so many Yaos, there are not even one visiting to welcome the general to take office. This actually shows a problem. Everyone knows the conflict between General Na Yao and Feng Liu and Liu Qi. Now seeing the general detaining those entrances, they are all watching, wanting to sit in the mountains and watch the fight between General and Feng Zhang and Wang Jin."

"Although those who entered the island are also on Shaman Island, they all feel that they are transcendent. This is watching our play. Anyway, no matter who wins the battle between us and Feng Zhang or Wang Jin, according to convention, they can't touch them at all."

Li Jing also knew about this. He was the new job in Shamen Island Town, and there were so many businesses nearby, but none of them came to welcome him. Li Jing probably saw that he had already decided to defeat him when he saw him fighting Feng Zhang. Since he felt that he would be defeated by Feng Zhang sooner or later, they were too lazy to maintain the seeming etiquette.

This was a feeling of being extremely contemptuous, and Li Jing felt anger. But instead, he suppressed the anger himself. Those merchants on the island despise him so much, then Feng Zhang and Wang Jinhui also had such an attitude. If this is true, it would be a good thing for him. Being contemptuous means that the enemy will lose the jing dictation to him.

"If you mean that I want me to let Feng Ming go, then don't say more. Those who have not killed him now do not mean that I will let him go. I just won't kill them for the time being. When I stand firm, these people will have to sacrifice flags for me. Building a good fortune in Xincheng is the death period of those who dare to despise me. Those who dare to despise me will have to pay their price for me." Li Jing glanced at Sun Deyan coldly. His mind was very clear. Although he was drunk more often, he was a little too conservative and negative.

"Deputy General Lin, please inform the troops. Mingyao, all the soldiers and servants will no longer participate in the construction of the city. Mingyao starts and they will resume training."
