Chapter 709: Notorious
At the moment, only people are the first priority.
The emperor's decree did not come, but the construction of the special zone has begun, and in addition to straightening out the affairs of the royal navy, the most important thing is the construction of this special zone.
The construction of the special zone focuses on two places, one is civil construction, and the other is people.
Civil construction, Wei Gonggong took an hour to release the construction plan, it is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to build roads and houses, divide production and sales into regions, and then concentrate on construction.
The most difficult part of this plan lies in the construction of Wusong Port, and the construction of a leveling wharf by pure manpower is undoubtedly huge. Fortunately, the current sea ships are not the 10,000-ton ships of later generations, but mostly hundreds of tons of ships, as long as the wharf is generally flat and well connected, the ships can dock directly, so that there is no need to ask for the concept of a deep-water port.
According to the cat and the tiger, combined with the concept of later generations, Wei Gonggong put forward the construction concept of "two links and one level", that is, the water is required, the road is passed, and the site is level.
The left-behind detachments and the people involved in the villages were mobilized to build roads and water, and the construction period was quite long, and there was a shortage of technical personnel, so the Admiral Maritime Yamen was recruiting a large number of people.
The wages offered were very high compared with those in the surrounding areas, and Gonggong Wei also rewarded the officers and soldiers and ordinary people engaged in road construction from time to time, so as to ensure that the officers and soldiers and the people always maintained their enthusiasm for building the special zone.
Spending money is like flowing water, and almost all the money from the Weigong Highway has been invested in this bottomless pit, but it is still not enough for the huge project and preliminary investment.
Gonggong Wei had already sent instructions to Chen Mo and others in Beijing, asking Chen Mo and others to transport at least 200,000 taels of silver south within a month.
For this reason, Gonggong Wei also had to write a letter to Shou Ning's concubine to say good things, not only to tell him about his current difficulties, but also to tell about the beautiful scenery in the future, so that Shou Ning could not delay and allocate the silver as scheduled.
Of course, in the letter, Father-in-law Wei must not say anything too much to Her Royal Highness the Princess, in case the letter will make the concubine Ma Ye have a bad association when he sees it.
Gifts, but Father-in-law Wei wanted to give it, he asked people to find several shops in Suzhou City, and finally bought a box of exquisite jade, and Father-in-law Wei gave these jade a nice name, called Eight Stars and Eight Arrows Cupid Jade.
The largest one was specially selected and given to Her Royal Highness the Princess, vowing that this Cupid Jade is the only one in the world.
This painstaking effort was really afraid that the concubine would see that he was not there, and swallowed the silver from the bond issuance with a clear conscience.
Xunbing, who went to Beijing to give gifts, also brought a cupid jade that was unique in the world, but it was Gonggong Wei who asked them to give it to Donggongke's mother.
Li Niangniang's place, Father-in-law Wei didn't dare to send it, so he could only put it in his heart.
Because of the lack of technical personnel, which affected the progress of road construction, and the road construction required a large number of stones, Wei Gonggong sent the batch of firearm casting and maintenance masters packaged for him by the War Bureau to various construction sites.
And sent Anguo Temple and other Japanese soldiers to demonstrate the method of fixed-point blasting to these craftsmen, and after learning this method, the mountains and forests near Wusong and the surrounding counties of Shanghai, Jiading, and Huating were damaged.
The biggest reason why the surrounding counties made it difficult for the personnel who went out to purchase materials on Wu Song's side was that Wei Gelding's minions were really angry, and they openly used gunpowder to blow up the mountain and destroyed several scenic spots.
Such as Yu Mountain, Xue Mountain, Chen Mountain, Tianma Mountain, Ji Mountain and other peaks, one by one have fallen into bad luck.
Such as the Phoenix Mountain, the altitude is only a few tens of meters, but the mountain shape is steep, like a phoenix with a neck stretched and wings, and wants to soar in the sky. There is a huge green wall on the mountain, more than 20 meters high, like an axe, it is said that it is the place where Tao Zongyi, a writer of the Yuan Dynasty, reads. As a result, the Japanese soldiers under Wei Gelding touched it in the middle of the night, and when they heard a loud bang, the green wall was blown up.
Another example is Nachen Mountain, this mountain is not high, only more than 70 meters, according to legend, Peng Suyun in the Eight Immortals cultivates here, so it is also called the Divine Mountain. Because of the quarrying of the descendants, the south slope has been cut into a cliff, with the wonder of "the cliff, the echo of the empty valley", and the scenic spots such as the Suyun Pavilion on the mountain are the favorite places of the literati and ink writers in the south of the Yangtze River.
As a result, Wei Gelding said "The mountain is not high, as long as there are stones", he buried medicine and blew up stones, and there was no echo from the empty valley.
When the counties heard about Wei Gelding's evil deeds, which one was not angry, the gentry were angry, the people were angry, and the officials were even more angry. But the Wei eunuchs were elite, repairing firearms, and when they got to one place, they either closed the mountain or sealed the forest, which of the officials dared to approach, and which of the people dared to step forward to stop it.
The enlightened monks on Yu Mountain once came forward to stop Wei Gelding's minions from destroying the mountain, but asked Wei Eun's minions to hang on a tree and beat him half to death. This is really hated by Confucianism, hated by Buddha, and hated by people.
Father-in-law Wei knows very well that he is notorious now, but he doesn't have to worry about having a lot of debts, and he has a gun pinned to his waist, what can those people do with him as a "brother" in addition to scolding him?
The overall area of the "maritime special zone" occupied by forcibly sending troops has reached 36 square kilometers, and this kilometer is the latest measurement data given by Wei Gonggong. There are 18 villages and a population of 3,400. These villages belong to Shanghai County and Huating County. At present, they are uniformly classified as special zone households.
In the past, the yellow books of these special zone households are now not counted, and the Duke of Wei sent the Admiral Yamen to re-register them, and the Lizheng Bao Chang and other things were also re-appointed, and even threatened that all the affairs in the village were under the control of the Admiral Yamen, and those who were honest in the village but had concealed their private parts would be arrested and sent to the Yamen for questioning.
In the beautiful name, it is called the imperial power to go to the countryside.
The squires dared not speak out about this, but fortunately, Wei Gelding just re-registered them and paid them to organize the villagers to build roads, and never demolished their houses and dominated their land, otherwise, they were afraid that the people would inevitably revolt.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of Wusong Shuiying and the fact that most of the special zones are located on tidal flats that the population density of this land is weaker than that of other places, otherwise, it is not only the more than 3,000 people involved.
The Admiral's Yamen, in fact, and the Royal Navy Left-behind Detachment are two brands and a set of people, and Gonggong Wei is only in charge of large and small affairs, and he sends a message to let him do something. The specific affairs were handled by Cao Wenyao and others of the left-behind detachment.
In the area of civil construction, Gonggong Wei demanded that the two areas of production and sales must be roughly made in the short term, and at least about 5,000 people should be accommodated by October.
Now, he has to find a way to get these 5,000 people.
This is not a tie-up, but a willingness to come over.
To put it bluntly, Father-in-law Wei wants to attract investment.
He is not a local snake, and now he is doing something that offends the Nanzhi officialdom and is accused of rebellion. Most of the merchants and gentry are one, and who is willing to come willingly.
In the world, there is never a shortage of people who tend to be inflammatory, but this also requires his father-in-law Wei to gain a foothold in the SAR first. At least, Beijing has to have a will to support him and endorse his father-in-law Wei.
However, now Gonggong Wei is still acting on his own, so no matter how many announcements he sends out to the Yamen, it is impossible for anyone to come to his special zone to do business.
Grandpa Wei had no choice but to keep his eyes on a group of green skins.
These green skins are actually "intermediaries", a group of people who eat food in the market.
