In the midst of the tediousness and chaos, the days passed quickly, and in a flash, the time had come to the end of the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.
In these days, although things are complicated and complicated, the big framework has been formulated, and although the work of pulling the skin is still continuing, everything is going according to the established track.
With the slow implementation of land distribution, these gentry gradually began to settle down.
They didn't have much to worry about the shortcomings of the east family and the west family, but focused more energy on the construction of their new house.
After all, if the house is not built in a day, they still have to be entangled with the people.
The Chinese hierarchy has been passed down for thousands of years, and inferiority has long been written into the genes.
This was something that was absolutely unacceptable to these gentry, and they had to live in a large mansion in order to show the distance between them and the common people.
In this regard, Li Yuanqing has long had a plan.
The most basic materials used to build a house are stone, mud and sand, and bricks.
Stones, sediment and sand are not to be used, in Changsheng Island, these materials are basically inexhaustible, as for bricks and tiles, although there is an additional firing process, but how can it be difficult to get the ingenious Chinese people?
In normal times, the soil of Changsheng Island is enough to provide the bricks and tiles needed for the infrastructure construction on the island, but at this time, such a large-scale construction project is like a big ~ leap ~ advance, and the output under normal conditions is obviously not enough.
Moreover, Changsheng Island, as Li Yuanqing's homeland and base camp, to a large extent, Li Yuanqing is not willing to destroy the ecological environment of Changsheng Island too much.
In this regard, there is a painful lesson for future generations.
However, in the hinterland of southern Liaoning, only a few hundred meters away from Changsheng Island, after Li Yuanqing and Shang Lao Liu, Ma Steward, and a group of gentry anxiously discussed several times, in the end, everyone reached a unanimous compromise.
Dozens of brick kilns are set up in the hinterland of southern Liaoning on the other side of Nanxinkou, and Li Yuanqing provides bricks and tiles for many gentry and ordinary people free of charge, without charging any cost of work, only charging meager transportation costs.
However, the stones and soil used on Changsheng Island have to charge a certain amount of cost, including the manpower used to build the housestead, and the expenses are all paid by the gentry themselves.
Li Yuanqing also set a minimum standard line for this.
That is, the gentry must pay the laborers they employ three meals a day, and maintain a sufficient amount, and a salary of not less than half a tael of silver per month.
At first, the gentry naturally didn't do it, because it was too expensive.
However, under Li Yuanqing's forced suppression, and most of the laborers in Zhenjiang City had to build their own houses first, these gentry could only hire the local residents of Changsheng Island.
Under the influence of the double force, the gentry also had to bow their heads and accept Li Yuanqing's plan.
But they soon discovered the benefits of this plan, and the laborers of Eternal Life Island, although the work was not fast, but it was stable enough, and the stability of the building standards was quite good.
This time, as long as the house can be built steadily, even if it costs some more silver, these gentry are willing.
Not to mention, in the future business, Li Yuanqing will provide them with more help.
At this time, they seem to have suffered some losses for a while, but in the long run, they have taken a big advantage.
No one is a fool, naturally no one will be serious with Li Yuanqing in this matter.
For a time, the entire Changsheng Island turned into a huge construction site, and construction was being carried out everywhere.
pushed everything to the track and operated normally, Li Yuanqing was a little relieved at this time, he could 'steal half a day of leisure' and leave more time to accompany his wife and children.
As the saying goes, 'the ruler is short, the inch is long', and 'there is no rule to make a circle'.
According to the general trend at this time, it is undoubtedly more prudent to be stable and conservative, and continue to strengthen the control of Changsheng Island.
After all, with so many people added at once, and so many intricate entanglements of forces, it is inevitable that a lot of instability will be added.
But with the insight of 500 years beyond this world, Li Yuanqing is more clear, and he is like 'sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat'.
At this time, this era is when the door of the great era is open, if you want to get more opportunities, want to get more voice, and want to change the history and destiny of China, he Li Yuanqing must get greater support and greater energy.
Whether it is him Li Yuanqing or Changsheng Island itself, the roots are still too shallow.
In the final analysis, the world of the Ming Dynasty is the world of literati and the world of the gentry.
History has proven, 'How can one be as happy as all?' β
Although Li Yuanqing is a traverser, he also has his limitations after all, the power of one person is limited after all, and there are too many things, he can't do everything.
Even if Li Yuanqing is not interested in these gentry, it cannot be denied that they have the most powerful energy in this era.
It can even be said that the literati family must be a gentry, and the gentry family must have a literati, and in essence, the two are one.
Whether it was during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, history has proved the correctness of Taizu's 'united front'.
In this regard, Li Yuanqing does not need to open up anything, but only needs to firmly implement this strategy.
It's still the same old saying, 'you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry'.
When everything is stable and on the right path, he will have enough time and energy to resolve internal troubles and contradictions.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Inside the official hall of Changsheng Island.
Shang Lao Liu, Ma Steward, Ren Dahai, Ren Qizhu, Qi Mingwei, Qi Gangcheng, and many staff members and stewards in charge of government affairs are reporting to Li Yuanqing on the progress of various fortifications on the island in the past few days.
At this time, when Changsheng Island was flooded with so many 'external forces' at once, the line that Li Yuanqing had been implementing before ----- separation of military and political forces, at this time, the benefits also appeared.
The military and the government are completely separated, and whether it is military affairs or government affairs, the officers, staff, and managers of all ministries are directly responsible to Li Yuanqing himself.
This time, it is difficult for the two sides to merge, and once there is a wind and grass, it can be transmitted to Li Yuanqing's eyes and ears at the first time, and he can respond in time at the first time, so as to firmly control the initiative.
And these gentry have paid so much, Li Yuanqing naturally can't help but say too much, Ren Dahai and Qi Mingwei, as staff members, joined the government affairs decision-making group of Changsheng Island, while Ren Qizhu and Qi Gangcheng joined the government affairs management group of Changsheng Island as managers, which can be regarded as Li Yuanqing's initial dividend to them.
"General, according to the development of the situation at this time, the supply of bricks and tiles in the urban area of the island has already been sufficient. However, in terms of housing for the people in the south and west of the island, the supply of bricks and tiles is still far from enough. He also discussed with the commercial steward and the horse steward that if we want to ensure the steady development of the construction speed on the island, it is best for us to open 10 to 15 more brick factories in the south and west parts of the island to further increase the supply to the people......"
Ren Qizhu held a stack of thick documents and analyzed in detail the progress of the project on the part of the people in the recent period of time to Li Yuanqing.
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.
Qi Gangcheng was not to be outdone, and hurriedly said: "General, I also agree with the plan to be in charge. But there is another proposal for lowly office. In the south and west of the island, although fresh water is also abundant, it is inevitable that there will be unevenness between the various villages. On the one hand, it will be easier for the people to get water and water, and on the other hand, if a typhoon strikes, the island will have a better response to it. β
Everyone nodded again when they heard this.
Li Yuanqing also nodded slowly.
The landlord class has taken advantage of their unique advantages and has possessed too many advantageous resources.
Even Qi Gangcheng, a frequent, is much higher than ordinary people in terms of knowledge and knowledge.
At this stage, they are all eager to prove themselves, and they must put more effort into these government affairs.
On the side, Steward Ma said: "What Steward Ren and Steward Qi said is good. However, things are simpler in terms of brick factories, but if you want to build a canal, this is not a small job. At this time, we are already a little stretched in terms of manpower and financial resources, so how can we get the strength to build these canals? β
Qi Gangcheng smiled indifferently, "Steward Ma asked well." General, for this matter, I have actually been thinking about it for the past few days. Although I Changsheng Island is a fledgling island, because of the foresight of the general, the road traffic on the island is quite good. In the past few days, he has explored the south and west of the island, and found that many streams and water flows are basically not far along the road. At that time, he thought, "Can we connect the road to the creek?" Wouldn't it save time and effort? β
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and fell into thought.
At this time, although there is no such thing as a road, Li Yuanqing comes from later generations, and the basic common sense of 'road' has already been deeply engraved in his mind.
The various roads on Changsheng Island are all structural structures of the road, with high in the middle and low on both sides, with a slight arc, which not only ensures solidity, but also ensures waterproofing.
It's far from the official road of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it's basically a slippery plane, and it's better in normal times, but once it rains, it's muddy.
At this time, the road structure of Changsheng Island, except for the urban area, is paved with bluestone and pebbles, and most of the other areas are dirt roads.
After all, the cost is limited, the manpower is limited, although Changsheng Island is not big, but there are hundreds of square kilometers, according to the state of productivity at this time, it is naturally impossible for every road to be paved with bluestone and pebbles, and it is the same as the urban area.
But Qi Gangcheng's idea is still too naΓ―ve.
It is good to build drainage ditches on both sides of the road, but for various reasons, the water in the drainage ditch is naturally impossible to be clean.
Even if you drink it after boiling, there will be great hidden dangers.
In this era, after all, unlike later generations, cars are basically running on the road, and although the exhaust is smoky, it will not be fatal all at once.
In this era, the roads are basically livestock, and their eating, drinking, and lazing are difficult to control by manpower.
Inevitably, there must be a lot of feces, washed into the drain, how can such water be drinkable?
But Qi Gangcheng's suggestion was like opening a skylight for everyone, opening everyone's brains.
Because of this, Li Yuanqing also thought of a low-cost, but low-quality artifact ------ cement.
