Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 72

It was late that day, and although the fisherman's village was not far from Yi village, Qu Mao did not return to the lord's hut in Yi village to rest. Instead, he asked Zhao Pan to find a first-class dwelling in the fisherman's village for himself to rest.

At present, daily necessities, living tools, and production tools have not been allocated to the small fishermen's village for the time being. Qu Mao is also embarrassed to ask skilled workers and their families to borrow bedding, so he still sleeps on the floor wrapped in animal skins. It will be handled well by Su Yan, and Qu Mao doesn't care about the short-term difficulties.

Chafidel and Zhao Pan built 40 first-class houses in the small fisherman's village, and Qu Mao could easily find a first-class house that was completely his own.

During dinner, Qu Mao summoned Chafidel, Sunan, and Zhao Pan to his first-tier residence, chatting while having dinner.

Qu Mao suggested: "Sunan, Chaifeidel, Zhao Pan, I think a few zero-level territorial houses need to be built in the fisherman's village, which are built in the post station to arrange people who come to the fisherman's village for business. Build some territorial houses in the village to accommodate single sailors.

Of course, blacksmith shops and carpentry workshops will also be built in the small fishermen's village. In the future, after the salt farm is built, it can help skilled workers repair tools. "

Sunan said: "Your Excellency is very worried. At present, one of the skilled salt-drying workers will be resettled in a first-class residential house. The lady has already arranged the distribution of living utensils, living tools, and production tools. This time, the main purpose of this subordinate is to resettle dwellings.

There are only 28 skilled salt-salting workers, and 28 households are arranged in the first-order residential houses, with a total population of 187. The lady means that these family members also need to arrange them to work and find some profitable jobs for them.

Although after the salt is released, the income from salt sales will go to the territory, but before the salt is produced, or even before the salt sales are paid back, the wages of these skilled workers need to be paid in advance by the territory..."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "These things should be done, I am prepared in my heart."

Sunan continued: "My lord, the people brought back from Yancheng are just attached to the land of our Yi Village and are ruled by our Yi Village, but they are not the citizens who swore allegiance to our territory. Miss means that these non-leaders All the people need to arrange their jobs and lives, and give them a source of income..."

Qu Mao interrupted Sunan with a wave of his hand, and said, "I know, just let Su Yan arrange this kind of thing.

That being the case, low-quality arable land should also be opened up around the small fisherman's village to plant plants or organize the families of these salt-drying skilled workers to go to the sea to catch seafood to supplement their households.The families of skilled workers in Yi Village and Mingang Village should also take the same measures. "

Sunan nodded and said, "My lord, my subordinates will make arrangements for these things tomorrow morning. Of course, tomorrow morning we should go to the proposed location of Sunyan City selected by Miss. The sooner this matter starts, the better."

Qu Mao nodded, and discussed with Zhaifidel and Zhao Pan for a while about the construction of the fishermen's village and the hunting situation of the army.

After sleeping in a small fisherman's village for one night, Qu Mao got up the next morning and called to Sunan. Accompanied by Chafidel, he set off south along the east coastline and walked less than 500 meters.

Sunan pointed to a large stretch of beach and said, "My lord, this is this stretch. It continues to extend two kilometers to the south and is the site of the sun-drying salt field planned by the lady. But in the early stage, we only excavated three pools in this area to divert seawater and dry seawater. , drying salt, the entire construction period takes about 20 days, and the production cycle takes about 45 days."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "You and Su Yan know more about drying salt than I do, follow your plan.

If there are not enough people for construction, they can be recruited directly from Yi Village and Mingang Village, no matter they are local residents or skilled workers and their families, and ask Su Yan to determine a reasonable wage and hire them to participate in the construction.

In addition, all commercial buildings in Yi Village will start to sell goods. As long as there are some of the materials we purchased this time, the rest will be sold to the residents. "

Sunan said: "Yes, my lord! I will go back to the small village of Mingang in the afternoon, report to the young lady, organize the manpower by the way, and come back early tomorrow morning to start work."

Qu Mao patted Sunan on the shoulder and said, "Sunan, you need to do more than that. I suggest that the roads between Yi Village and Fisherman Village, Fisherman Village and Mingang Village should start from the post station and be synchronized. Start repairing.

Plan the route first, start repairing at both ends simultaneously, and finish the project by converging in the middle.In this way, the road from Yi Village to Fisherman Village can be repaired in one day.

Because we now have more iron tools, the road from the fishermen's village to the Mingang village will be built at both ends simultaneously. It is estimated that it will take three or four days at most for more than ten kilometers to repair, without wasting too much energy.

After the road was repaired, Zhao Pan's messenger had almost trained his riding skills.At that time, we will have horses to transmit information, and I will find a way to unite with skilled workers in carpentry workshops and blacksmiths to see if we can manufacture carriages, so that we can deliver large quantities of goods without completely relying on me, Wang Ping, and Su Yan. . "

Sunan said: "My lord's words are true. Tomorrow, my subordinates will bring people from the small village of Mingang to start the construction of the salt farm. The road construction project will start in the morning of the day after tomorrow. Please rest assured, my lord."

Chafidel said: "My lord, I have always wanted to visit Mingang Village. Before, there were no high-ranking soldiers to guard Yi Village and Fisherman's Village. Now there are a large number of third-tier princess guards in Fisherman's Village and Yi Village, so I want to... ..."

Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Go, go! Go with Sunan. There are 100 Tier [-] fighters in Yi Village and Fisherman's Village. There is also logistics officer Wang Ping in Yi Village, so there is no big security problem.

You go to Mingang Village with Sunan, stay in Mingang Village for one night, and come back with Sunan tomorrow morning.

I guess Su Yan will continue to arrange for the leaders and princess guards to send supplies, but the hunting cannot stop, although we already have a lot of food. "

Chafidel said happily: "Thank you, my lord. Rest assured, your normal work will not be delayed."

Qu Mao looked at the sky and said: "This place is only 300-400 meters away from the small fisherman's village, and Zhao Pan is still training the leaders to ride horses in the small fisherman's village, so there is no safety problem.

Don't wait until the afternoon, both of you, set off now to return to the small village of Mingang. It will take time to recruit construction workers, negotiate wages, and organize supplies. Go back early and make arrangements.

Sunan still has to plan the road from the small fisherman's village to the small port of Mingang. If the construction starts at both ends, it is afraid that the direction will be deviated, and it will not be able to connect in the end.These projects should start as soon as possible. "

Sunan and Chafidel glanced at each other, bowed their hands together to say goodbye to Qu Mao, turned directly from the beach into the forest, and headed towards the small village of Mingang in the southwest direction.
