After learning that the channel was about to be opened, Yang Song called Liu Ji, Li Jing, Xun Yu, Changsun Sheng and Chen Ping to discuss.

Li Jing had already reorganized his army at this time and returned to Tianqi City with less than a hundred soldiers. The recruitment of conscripts had also been completed.

After Li Jing agreed to Yang Song's suggestion, he formed a brigade and trained the recruits under the leadership of nearly 100 soldiers.

The training time for the recruits to start at the end of March of the Sixth year of the Apocalypse, and now it is mid-April of the Sixth year of the Apocalypse, which means that these recruits have only been trained for half a month.

"...This is the situation of the waterway. How do you guys tell me how Xia Kingdom should use this waterway?" Yang Song explained Li Bao's latest exploration results to the people and asked how Xia Kingdom should use this waterway.

Yang Song looked at his military advisor, and Liu Ji thought without saying anything. Instead, Li Jing, who was standing beside him, immediately replied: "Report to the lord! I believe that letting some of the military supplies be replenished by sea transportation will save a lot of time."

The first thing Li Jing thought of was to provide logistics supply to the troops stationed in Shanhaiguan.

"As the Lord said just now, after the channel is opened, the distance of 780 kilometers is 780 kilometers, and the slowest is only three days when the sea boat sails day and night. The ministers of the Linhai Town also know that it is only about two hundred kilometers away from Shanhaiguan, and it only takes six days to transport by carriage, and only nine days in total."

"Although the distance from Tianqi City to Shanhaiguan is closer, only 700 kilometers, it takes about twenty days to transport materials by carriages. It saves a lot of time by shipping!" Li Jing said as he was shocked by the time he calculated and sighed.

It took more than twenty days for Li Bao to go north and south to return, because the fleet is an explorer and a pioneer, so he can only move with caution.

After the route is determined, the sea conditions in the channel are clear and there is nothing to worry about, so you can sail around the clock with confidence.

A distance of 780 kilometers and a speed of five knots (two knots per knot in this world) can only take seventy-eight hours to reach the destination, which is exactly three days (twenty-six hours a day).

If you follow the ocean current and catch up with the monsoon, it will take less than three days to reach it, which is much more convenient and quicker than getting by land.

"Not only that, the road transportation costs a lot when people eat and horses chew, while sea transportation does not have these costs. As long as the normal consumption of sailors is met, Changsun Sheng still has great experience in this regard, so he continued Li Jing's words.

Xun Yu nodded in agreement: "Mr. Changsun said that using sea transportation can save a lot of extra expenses."

"And the administrative department to which my subordinates belongs also needs these carriages to work in many aspects. If transported by sea, these carriages can be considered to have other uses. This is a grand event to speed up the development of the country!" Xun Yu said while finishing the matter, and finally said, he was very moved.

Then Chen Ping also agreed: "What my colleagues say is right. As far as I know, there are no decent sea boats outside the sea territories outside the pass. Most of them are fishing boats, and they can only be fished offshore. The wind and waves in the distant sea are enough to destroy those small boats."

"Therefore, I suggest that the naval fleet should be stationed in the waters outside the Linhai Basin. Once there is a change, the navy will also be a surprise soldier." After considering domestic and foreign intelligence, Chen Ping also suggested that the navy be stationed directly at the forefront.

After hearing the suggestions of several people, Yang Song nodded gently. Everyone suggested using sea transportation to transport the military supplies needed by Shanhaiguan. The other aspects of use were not mentioned because everyone knew that there was only one place in Linhai Basin that needed sea transportation.

"Your Majesty, what you colleagues say is right, I will add a little more to your suggestions." Liu Ji, like Yang Song, listened to everyone's speeches, and then suggested to Yang Song.

"Since you want to use the sea route, the Linhai town in the Linhai Basin must be developed and utilized, and at least there must be a harbor that can dock warships and sea ships."

When Yang Song and everyone heard Liu Ji's honest and blunt statement, they all couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Liu Ji continued: "Since there is a harbor, there will be someone to maintain it. Ship repairmen, porters, and barracks that provide accommodation for naval soldiers. In this way, it is best to set up a small town in this place. In the expected future, this harbor must be busy and prosperous."

"Then build a Linhai Town!" After Yang Song and Liu Ji finished speaking, he could also imagine the prosperity of this harbor and immediately decided to set up a town.

Yang Song decided to say: "This town is the same as Feilong Island and Fugui Island, and is directly under the administrative department, and the level is tentatively set to be 'town level'!"

"Your Majesty!" Everyone said in unison, which was acknowledging Yang Song's decision.

Yang Song thought for a while and said, "Since you are immigrating in Linhai Town, then this harbor must be established as a military-civilian dual-purpose type. Wenruo, please discuss this with the pharmacist and Bowen!"

"As for your order!" The three of them, named by Yang Song, took the order in unison.

"Wenruo, how are the four northern towns prepared?" Yang Song finished the order and remembered that the Siling County in the north had decided to build a new one, so he asked Xun Yu.

Xun Yu bowed and replied: "Your Majesty! The preliminary work on the development of the four towns has been prepared. Next is the relocation of the people, the construction of the town, and the surrounding land can be rectified after the construction of the town."

"How long will it take to build a town?" Yang Song asked again.

"When I go back to you, because the people are relocating in batches, and they need to build government offices, schools, post stations and other buildings, as well as clean up ruins and level the site, so the first phase will take some time, and at the fastest will take about half a year." Xun Yu replied with an explanation.

Yang Song pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you speed up? If not, why?"

Xun Yu thought about these two questions for a few minutes before answering: "Your Majesty! You can speed up, but you need enough manpower, especially enough skilled construction workers."

"Isn't the construction workers in charge of the Works Bureau under your Executive Office? What's the problem?" Yang Song asked in confusion. Xia Guo originally had a professional construction engineering team, and the Works Bureau was always in charge. So now Xun Yu told him that there was not enough manpower?

Xun Yu replied with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this engineering team is now renovating Shanhaiguan!"

"So that's it. Do you have anything to suggest?" Yang Song also remembered after Xun Yu said this.

Because the world's city-building technology does not meet the requirements of the Xia Kingdom, Shanhaiguan needs to be renovated significantly after being occupied by the Xia Kingdom. Projects like this are usually handed over to the engineering team with rich experience.

Yang Song couldn't think of a good idea for a while, but he asked him to do the construction step by step, and he felt it was too time-consuming, so he questioned the few people present on-site.

But just like Yang Song, at this moment, everyone had no good idea, so they could only think in silence, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

After about ten minutes, Liu Ji looked up and bowed to Yang Song and said, "I have a advice!"
Chapter completed!
