The Prodigal Son of the Empire

He is really going crazy!

What a series of blows!

Is this prodigal son really so miraculous?Now that the foreign aggression is lifted, we must start development and construction!

No, Dong Yiwu looked gloomy.

We can't let him go so smoothly, we must stop it as soon as possible...

[Author's Digression]: Second update

Chapter 199 Mobilize all the people, build roads!

As soon as Dong Yiwu and his son returned to Yangzhou City, they were hit several times, but Wang Kang's side was in full swing!

Construction is the main theme of post-modern development!

Teams of soldiers took to the streets, and notices were plastered on the walls of the streets and alleys.

hiring!

Carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, masons... as long as you have a skill, you can apply for it, even if you don't have a skill, you can apply for it if you have strength!

Moreover, the salary is generous, much higher than that in Yangzhou City. As long as you work hard and pay, you can earn money!

This is Wang Kang's idea, and it is also the general tone!

Due to geological reasons, the land in Xinfeng County is barren. There are no trees on the mountains and no grass on the ground.

The common people have no land to plant and no way to get money, so they are naturally poor.

So Wang Kang put forward an idea, replacing agriculture with labor!

To replace agricultural work with industrial development, and the development of Xinfeng County in all aspects cannot be separated from manpower. Wang Kang used this trick, and the whole people mobilized!

Let all the urban residents of Xinfeng County participate in the construction of their own hometown.

In the process, they will have a sense of belonging and accomplishment!

As soon as this news came out, the citizens of the city were all excited, and they rushed to gather in front of the notice to watch it.

In order to vigorously develop Xinfeng County, the Earl's Mansion established the Engineering Construction Department, with Young Master Kang as the chief officer. The following personnel are now hired...

I didn't pay attention to the first few sentences, but I saw clearly the latter, earn money, get money!

"What? The monthly salary of a blacksmith is one gold coin? Am I not mistaken?"

"Aren't there many carpenters?"

"What is Young Master Kang going to do? Build vigorously?"

"Tch, we have been poor for so many years, and we are all barren mountains and rocks. Can we build if we want to? Sure enough, he is a rich young master who doesn't understand anything!"

"Whatever, as long as you have money, it seems like a prodigal style again!"

The townspeople were talking about it, and then they all went to the Earl's Mansion to apply for the job.

It's really a general mobilization of the whole people, not only that, under the operation of Lin Zhou, the head of the Propaganda Department, the recruitment notice was published in Xinfeng County, and spread throughout the suburban villages...

The front of the Earl's Mansion was already full of voices, and the citizens rushed to register.

Nie Zhongxing was in charge of selecting candidates. Wang Kang did not show up. He is currently refining gunpowder...

The first construction project in Xinfeng County is to build a road directly to Yangzhou City.

In this process, it is necessary to open mountains and split rocks, and gunpowder is indispensable.

But this is different from frying Qingyakou. The dosage and power of the gunpowder must be controlled, so it has to be tested one by one.

On the outskirts of Xinfeng County, there is a village. This ordinary village is now the residence of Tianluo Organization, and Wang Kang's experiment is also carried out here!

Gunpowder is an absolute killer in this era, and it must not be known to outsiders, so the secrecy work must be done well.

The ordinary people in this village have all been relocated by Wang Kang, and the people who are surrounded by a net outside are also heavily guarded inside.

On an open space, there was a wooden box, filled with gunpowder packs of different doses, which was the result of Wang Kang's production in the past few days.

He ordered people to place a gunpowder bag at the foot of a mountain, and when it was ready, ignite it and detonate it!

With a loud bang, the rocks exploded, and the power shook the sky. Seeing this scene, the surrounding people all looked terrified and stood up.

Although such experiments have been seen many times, it is still shocking!

They looked at Wang Kang, who was wearing a fine attire, in awe. It was this young master who had developed such a killer weapon.

This is especially true for Yuan Yan, thanks to the fact that he sees clearly how to invest in the young master, with this thing, not to mention a Qingyakou, even the entire mountain, it can be destroyed!

After the detonation was over and calmed down, Wang Kang went to the center of the explosion to observe and record the extent of the explosion with a pen...

After going on like this for a whole day, Wang Kang finally got the exact data, and the next step is to produce gunpowder according to the dosage.

With Wang Kang alone, it is naturally impossible to complete such a large demand. In order to keep the production secret, Wang Kang came up with a method, division of labor!

Some people refine the saltpeter, some people refine the sulfur, and the final proportioning is done by him.

Employees are not allowed to go out or communicate with the outside world, and they are all under strict supervision.

The city is busy recruiting people, and Wang Kang is also rushing to refine the gunpowder he needs here.

This is the past few days, and the gunpowder needed in the early stage is fully prepared.

Wang Kangcai returned to the mansion.

Bank of China Nie came over and reported: "Master Kang, we have recruited nearly a thousand people so far..."

"How many skilled craftsmen are there?" Wang Kang asked.

Nie Zhongxing said: "There are quite a lot of them. The development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Xinfeng County is not good. The citizens of the city have skills, so they have to find another way out."

"It will be of great use to me to list these craftsmen separately," Wang Kang paused and said, "Since the staff is ready, let's choose a good time and start working!"

"Building roads is indeed a good strategy that can change Xinfeng County," Nie Zhongxing said with difficulty: "Master Kang, with all due respect, your plan may be difficult to complete!"

"Why do you say that?" Wang Kang asked with a smile.

Nie Zhong walked to the table, unfolded the map of Xinfeng County, pointed and said: "The route you have drawn starts from Xinfeng County, breaks through mountains and rocks, and connects Dongshan to Yangzhou City!"

"This is indeed the shortest route. If it is completed, it will take less than two hours to reach Yangzhou City, but this project is too big!"
