The setting sun waves red clouds and whispers its last whisper with the curling smoke.
Zhu Zhanji climbed up the ladder to the watchtower and sat next to Tang Sai'er. He looked at the fence wall in the distance and swung his legs like Tang Sai'er: "Time flies so fast. Nine months have passed in a flash." Already."
Tang Saier handed the two-eaten candied haws to Zhu Zhanji: "In nine months, we haven't even finished laying the foundation. It's much harder than we expected to gain a foothold in this wild land."
Zhu Zhanji bit off a hawthorn, chewed it and swallowed it, then pointed in the distance and said: "With our manpower, we can't think about building the city wall for the time being. We can only build the fence city first. But we have determined the location of Dongping City." In the center, the location of the government office, the residential area of the people, the work area, the military camp, and even the streets have been paved. Just waiting for the bricks and glazed bricks to be fired, large-scale construction can begin. Many thick bricks have been piled there. wood..."
Tang Saier was not decadent, but he felt that he was too naive, and the difficulty of starting from scratch was beyond his beautiful imagination.
As far as burning colored glaze and burning green bricks is concerned, if the Ming Dynasty wanted a batch of colored glaze, they could directly let people bake it. But here, they need to find soil suitable for firing colored glaze and build a kiln from scratch. We still need to find coal mines and mine...
In order to reasonably allocate manpower, women took on the role of farming, while all men were requisitioned for construction.
Fortunately, the soil here is fertile, the water system is developed, and the climate is suitable. A lot of food was harvested from last year's autumn harvest. In particular, in order to avoid famine, the potatoes and sweet potatoes brought here were sown, which fundamentally ensured food security. This year, rice was cultivated again. Looking at the growth of the rice fields in the distance, I believe there will be another bumper harvest.
The food was stable, there were granaries, and the soldiers hunted, the Yan Kingdom took root here.
It’s just that nine months have passed. The entire Yan Kingdom is just a ten-mile city. There is no inner city and outer city. The Yan Palace was not built at the first time. The first building built in the Yan Kingdom was the flagpole, which raised the sun and moon flag. flagpole.
Zhu Di knew very well that whether the soldiers or the people he brought here were not exiled by the Ming Dynasty, but bought by him, the barbaric environment and the hardship of starting from scratch would inevitably make these people miserable.
Some people miss the relatively rich Ming Dynasty and the prosperity there.
In order to appease people's hearts and give people a place to miss him, Zhu Di had to use the sun and moon flag to ensure that all those who missed the Ming Dynasty could see the Ming Dynasty.
After the sun and moon flag was raised, Zhu Di listened to Jin Zhong's advice and took the lead in building residential buildings and military camps instead of building the Yan Palace. He gathered the hearts of the people and the military, let them live in peace, and let them know that the Yan State loves its people. This is far better than the Yan State. The construction of the palace is more important.
Nine months!
Zhu Di walked on the smooth road and looked at the rows of houses on both sides. He was very pleased. The people along the way saluted Zhu Di one after another and were not afraid.
Everyone knows that King Yan loves the people and is friendly. Sometimes he sleeps with the soldiers in the military camp, and he hugs the children and lifts them high. He is the king here and the backbone of everyone here. XiuShu.com
Jin Zhong followed Zhu Di and whispered: "Sergeant Zhao Ke took a break from camp because he was feeling unwell. After the other sergeants left, he ran to find Wang. If Wang had not resisted desperately and shouted loudly, Zhao Ke would have been afraid and afraid. It would be a big mistake."
Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "After repeated orders and orders, there are still people who dare to make mistakes. Is it true that I am a good man and dare not kill people?"
Jin Zhong quickly said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ke is guilty, but his crime is not worthy of death. I thought I could punish him and deter other soldiers and civilians. First, I have regular rules and clear laws and orders. Second, I tell the soldiers and civilians that only unity can help us stand. If someone does something deviant from his heart, he should be severely punished."
Zhu Di thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
In the final analysis, this kind of problem among sergeants is still a bad habit they picked up in Jinling. When the sergeants were in Jinling or the local garrison, whenever they took a break, many sergeants would run away to have a good time. Although they did not have the money to go to a good brothel, there were still many widows looking for them.
After arriving in the New Yan Kingdom, there were no brothels or widows here. Some sergeants disliked the wives at home and could not go out to steal sex, so they turned their attention to the families of other sergeants.
This kind of thing must
Deal with him seriously, beat him to death or half to make sure no one does it again.
Holding fire?
I haven't slept with the princess once in the nine months since I came here. Is there any day when I don't sleep in a simple study? In order to build Dongping City as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold, you don't even care about these things. You all work hard during the day, either building or hunting, but you still have the energy to think about these things?
"Chi'er imitated Emperor Jianwen and compiled a five-year plan. Have you read it?"
Zhu Di walked towards the military camp.
Jin Zhong nodded and replied seriously: "Your Majesty, the five-year plan given by the Crown Prince is very consistent with the reality of Yan State. Although it seems a little unambitious, it is solid. Just like laying a solid foundation, it always needs to be done over and over again. Come."
Zhu Di frowned: "How many more five years does this king have?"
Jin Zhong's heart trembled.
Zhu Di was not very satisfied with Zhu Gaochi's five-year plan. This son wanted to spend five years to build Dongping City, and regarded land reclamation, ditch construction, port construction, and palace construction as the four major projects. He advocated using five years to build Dongping City. Come and finalize various industries, lay the foundation, and do not rush to expand outward.
According to Zhu Gaochi's vision, five years later, Dongping City will still be a ten-mile city, with only a few villages set up outside the city to facilitate people's farming. The military's external exploration is limited to within fifty miles and will not explore further.
It takes five years to build a city, but not a second city.
Compared with Zhu Gaochi's conservative plan, Zhu Di preferred Zhu Gaoxu's adventurous idea. He completed the construction of Dongping City in two years, and then allocated 20,000 people to build two cities respectively, which became Dongping City's external corner. While guarding Dongping City, Expand the territory of Yan State and spread its branches and leaves as soon as possible.
Seeing that Zhu Di had other thoughts, Jin Zhong took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the power of the people is inexhaustible."
Zhu Di stopped, looked at Jin Zhong, and nodded heavily: "You are right, the people's power is inexhaustible, so tell the prince to go all out to build Dongping City according to his five-year plan."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Jin Zhong saluted solemnly.
Zhu Di chuckled and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.
All his efforts are just to lay a better foundation for his children and grandchildren. Since Zhu Gaochi thinks that such a steady and steady approach is more suitable for Yan State, that's fine.
After all, this place needs to be left in their hands sooner or later.
Entering the military camp, Zhu Di held a riding whip and solemnly ordered Qiu Fu who ran over: "Beat the drums, the three armies line up!"
