"Here they come, they are here!" Feng Chun saw a large group of people coming from a distance, and said hurriedly: "Quickly, play music, lion dance team, get ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet city gate suddenly became lively.
At this time, in the carriage, the girls pointed at Wendeng City not far away, "We're here, we're finally here!"
Zhu Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. The journey in the next few days was really difficult. Most of the engineering team's energy was currently focused on Jiangnan.
For Daye, Jiangnan is the top priority.
Although the road to the north is also being built, the speed is not fast.
Although he has built a cement plant as quickly as possible, the supply still exceeds demand.
Although Zhu Jun wants to authorize the cement factory to members of the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, for now, cement is a strategic material.
Not only is it fast to build roads, it is also very effective when used to build military buildings. If it is used to strengthen city walls, it will be more difficult to attack.
It's not that I don't worry about these people.
But if you give gold, silver and jewelry to a child, can the child keep it?
Therefore, after the world is unified, after the cement factory authorization is handed over, it will bloom everywhere and can better help local governments build infrastructure.
Zhu Jun hid the cement factory, not purely because he wanted to make money.
For the cement that leaves the factory, he basically maintains the cost and makes no money at all.
This kind of thing is used for the country's people's livelihood. Even if you earn one or two cents per pack, it will be an astronomical figure over time.
After withdrawing his thoughts and looking at the short Wendeng city wall, Zhu Jun's first thought was to strengthen the city wall and then build a larger wall around the city wall, because he believed that with his construction, Weihaiwei would definitely be the best within a thousand miles. A great city to live in.
After traveling for nearly twenty days, everyone was exhausted. At this moment, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Soon, the motorcade approached, and Zhu Jun got out of the car with the girls.
Bi Ying and others looked at the princesses who looked like gods, their eyes widened.
He secretly pushed Feng Chun, telling him not to stare, and then hurriedly stepped forward, "Bi Ying, your highness, King Wu, Princess!
Feng Chun and others followed suit and hurriedly saluted!
After everyone saluted and announced his home, Zhu Jun glanced at everyone, then looked at the people aside, looking at the slightly dilapidated county town and the uneven road.
Everything was pretty much what he thought.
"Correction, I am not the King of Wu now, but the King of Weihai. Don't call me wrong in the future!" Zhu Jun said.
Everyone was stunned. When did the feudal title change?
But no one dared to ask what Zhu Jun said and what they did.
"Yes, His Highness King Wu!" everyone said in unison.
Zhu Jun smiled and said, "I am new here and am not familiar with everything here. I will need you to help me manage Weihaiwei in the future."
"These are what a lower official should do!" Bi Ying said: "Your Highness has been tired from traveling all the way. Please move to the guard station. Your Highness, please stay at the guard station for a while these days!"
Zhu Jun nodded and led everyone into the city.
There are 70,000 people in Wendeng County. A county town of 70,000 people is neither too big nor too small. When entering the city, Zhu Jun asked Bi Yingwei the total number of Haiwei people. The total number was about the same as he thought, about 200,000. .
It's a little less, but Weihaiwei has great potential. As long as you manage it properly, it shouldn't be a problem to have a population of half a million.
After eating at the guard station, Zhu Jun did not stay here, but went directly out of the city. After Xu Miaojin and others agreed to build the palace outside the city, Zhu Jun asked people to choose a place outside the city.
This time he not only moved his home, but more than 2,000 people came from the construction team alone.
These people built the palace for him.
Even when he built the palace, he didn't ask the court for any money. He could just pay for it himself.
When he first arrived, he didn't ask for anything fancy. He just asked the craftsmen to quickly build some cabins that could be lived in.
The day before he set off, he had already issued an order to prepare dozens of ships' supplies and send them here from Suzhou Duhai.
The current construction team also came by boat, but they had not chosen a location at the beginning. These days they have been making preliminary material preparations.
After receiving the news from Zhu Jun, work started non-stop.
So when Zhu Jun rushed outside the city, the outline of a boss had been built here.
The construction site was in full swing, and there were temporary wooden houses not far away.
The best wooden house is a temporary hospital.
All the great doctors are here and on standby.
Zhu Jun also moved all the people in the research institute to Weihaiwei. In his vassal, he could do whatever he wanted.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if he wore a dragon robe in the house, no one would say anything!
Of course, he wouldn't do that. He wasn't interested in that dragon robe.
When Kuai Mingsi saw Zhu Jun, he came over quickly and said, "See your highness!"
"Old Kuai, I have to work hard for you again this time!" Zhu Jun patted Kuai Mingsi on the shoulder.
Since he went to Fengyang to supervise work, Kuai Mingsi has become Zhu Jun's largest contractor. As the talker of the Xiangshan Gang, Kuai Mingsi has countless skilled craftsmen under his command.
When Zhu Jun established the Technical University, Kuai Mingsi used almost all his connections and invited out some old craftsmen who had washed their hands in golden basins.
It is precisely because of these people that the Technical University can be opened as desired.
Kuai Mingsi is not a short-sighted person. Instead of working for the imperial court, it is better to follow Zhu Jun.
At least Zhu Jun communicates well, treats people well, and does not look down on craftsmen. Now he wants to give all craftsmen a chance to change their destiny.
To be fair, he was grateful to Zhu Jun.
Therefore, he resigned from his appointment at the Ministry of Industry and joined Prince Wu's Mansion without hesitation and became a bonus of Prince Wu's Mansion.
"It's not hard, these are what a lowly minister should do." After a few brief greetings with Zhu Jun, Kuai Mingsi took out the design drawings: "Your Highness, this is the design drawing of the palace. According to your vision, everything will be done." Simplicity means taking the simple route. We don’t work hard on refinement. In this way, the construction period can be greatly reduced.
There are few people now. If you can give me more people, it can be completed in two months at the earliest.
Some details, such as pavilions, waterside pavilions, etc., can be worked on later. "
“We don’t pursue luxury, only practicality and simplicity. As long as it can protect us from wind and rain, it’s no big deal.
However, the wind is strong on the seaside, and the winter here in Weihaiwei is cold, so you must take measures to keep warm.
In addition, you will have a heavy responsibility in the future. Not only will you set up a branch of the Technical University here, but the Technical University will be renamed the College of Engineering in the future.
In addition, I will also establish a business school and a medical school. In the future, Weihaiwei will renovate the county seat and build a new city that can accommodate 300,000 people based on the original one! "
Hearing Zhu Jun's words, Kuai Mingsi was secretly shocked, "Your Highness, are you planning to recreate Weihaiwei?"
