Dark Palm Jiaozhi Chapter 31 So ambitious

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lang Son Prefecture gained a local advantage. In order to expand the advantage, Nguyen Phuc Bao was busy traveling around every day to make friends, trying to force Thang Long Prefecture to admit its control over Bei Giu Prefecture.  In this case, it would be nice to attend the wedding of my godson.

    Zhou Shixiong didn¡¯t feel aggrieved at all. He walked around the manor with his five wives every day.  He must seize the time to enjoy life, and will soon leave home again to work as a cattle pioneer in Tingli.  In order to better develop Tingli Town, Zhou Shixiong had to go to Tingli Town. He could not trust the work of building a new town to the ancients.  It's not that he looked down on the ancients, it was just that the ancients didn't have his level of insight and couldn't realize his vision.

    Nguyen Phuc Bao did not cede Dinh Lik to Zhou Shixiong without conditions. The first one was that troops were not allowed to be stationed in Dinh Lik. A group of Ming troops had been stationed in Lang Son for a long time. Let alone whether he had evil intentions, he was just a man who defected to the Ming Dynasty.  The hat was enough for him.  After some discussion, it was determined that Jia Ding Nursing Home was not within the restriction.

    Of course there is the first one, but there is also the second one. It is right that Dingli Town gave it to you, but the tax cannot be exempted. You must pay 4,000 taels of silver to Lang Son Province every year. This amount is very reasonable, and it is the total amount of Dinh Li Town in previous years.  Annual income.

    The last item was added by Ruan Phu Ajiang. She asked to buy a street in Dinh Li Town. The income from this street belongs to her and Li Jie. Ruan Phu Ajiang's original words were, "make some money."  Zhou Shixiong generously named a short alley on the design drawing, Zhenfen Alley.

    Zhou Shixiong came to Tingli Town in early May, and Ma San, who was standing in front of him, was waiting outside the town gate early.  "Master Hongchang, do you want to take a rest first or go to the Yamen?" Ma San admired this Marquis very much. He dared to go on the road alone. Lang Son Mansion was not a paradise, although the large group of bandits had not heard of it.  Yes, but these barbarians can change their jobs from farmers and hunters to strong men at any time. Ma San has experienced this personally several times.

    "Go to the Yamen, who's over there?" Zhou Shixiong is full of energy every day. It doesn't matter if he rests or something, what he wants to do is to get the new city on track as soon as possible.

    "Steward Li, Master Tie, Qian Yingguan and Maoying Guan are all here." Qian Bijun and Mao Weisheng were appointed by Zhou Shixiong as the camp managers of the engineering battalion. In the past two years, they have cleaned up the roads and rivers in Pingxiang Prefecture.  Now, they were both excited about the opportunity to build a city.

    "Lead the way." Zhou Shixiong jumped off his horse and walked into Tingli Town. His understanding of Tingli Town came entirely from the information provided by Ma San. Of course, he had to see the actual situation with his own eyes.

    As the capital of a province, Lang Son City failed to catch Zhou Shixiong¡¯s eyes, and Tingli Town certainly had no chance of impressing Zhou Shixiong.  The old dirt streets and dilapidated brick, stone, and bamboo houses all tell the story of Tingli Town¡¯s long history and current poverty.

    "Ma San, what are the specialties of Tingli Town?" Zhou Shixiong asked curiously when he saw many shops on both sides of the streets in the town.

    Ma San thought to himself, didn¡¯t all the investigated information be handed over to you?  Why are you still asking!  Even if he had any dissatisfaction, Ma San did not dare to question Zhou Shixiong and said casually, "Iron ore, coal mine, bamboo,"

    Zhou Shixiong raised his hand to stop Ma San from continuing to endorse, "That's not what I'm asking. I see so many shops here and want to know what they mainly deal with?"

    Oh, Ma San suddenly realized, it turned out that he was not asking about minerals.  After thinking about it carefully, Ma San shook his head and said, "I have been to Tingli Town twice. It seems that there are people selling all kinds of miscellaneous things. I don't remember that there are so many of them."

    Zhou Shixiong smiled and said, "That means there are a lot of shops." Ma Sanyi thought that was the case. Everything is sold here. The real specialty is the shops, which are several times more than in ordinary towns.

    Tingli Town is quite large. Zhou Shixiong came in from the north gate and walked for three quarters of an hour before arriving at the temporary government office in the center of the town. This place used to be the Confucius Temple built by the Chinese in Tingli Town. When the Chinese moved there, even the statue of Confucius was moved.  Go away. If Nguyen Phuc Bao had not strictly prohibited the demolition of houses, this temple might have been moved.

    "Master Hongchang is here, please come in." Qian Bijun personally participated in the task of burying the imperial envoy alive. Of course he knew Zhou Shixiong's identity, but Mao Weisheng was not a member of the core, and everyone had to hide it from him.  Li Fusheng was forced to act.

    "You guys continue to ignore me. I'm just here to supervise my aunt. I don't care about anything else but Rouge Lane." Zhou Shixiong found such an excuse to come to Tingli Town. Ruan Fu Ajiang was very unhappy at being used and forced  Zhou Shixiong agreed to design Rouge Lane himself as cover money for her.

    The location of Tingli Town is very good. Zhou Shixiong / carefully studied the map and found that this is the best place to build the city.  To the west of the town is Ushui, a tributary of the Beijiang River, to the north is the end of the Lang Son Plain, and to the east are high mountains. There is only a narrow valley leading to Sam Long Town, its only neighbor.  The south gate is still surrounded by mountains, and the official road connecting Quang Ninh Palace was formerly an ancient river.

    Zhou Shixiong¡¯s plan to build a new city is not about spending a lot of money. If you insert a nail into someone else¡¯s house, if the nail is not hard enough, it will easily be destroyed.?Pull it off.  In order to comply with the agreement not to station troops, a fortified city was necessary.  Moreover, it is easier to build a city in mountainous areas, and most materials can be used locally, which not only reduces costs but also shortens the construction period.  If they didn't have so many conveniences, how could Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng agree to Zhou Shixiong's plan.

    After Li Fusheng finished the meeting with the craftsmen, Zhou Shixiong roughly understood the progress of the project, which was much faster than expected.  "Hongchang, there's nothing to worry about as I'm watching over Tingli. Why do you have to come over? Even if you want to come over, you can go back to Pingxiangzhou first. The eldest lady is very concerned about you. Let me see you and say something.  ." Li Fusheng did it for Zhou Shixiong's good. Zhou Shixiong married five women and still hasn't served You Min tea. This made You Min very unhappy.

    "This is one of our escape routes. If we don't make arrangements, how can I be in the mood to love each other? Besides, if Ji Hongchang has anything to do with the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, rushing over to pay a visit will easily lead to trouble. I know what to do in this matter.  No need to say more." Zhou Shixiong didn't expect that You Min would become so independent after being upgraded. Even though he knew that it was a very sensitive time, he couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart. It seemed that he really couldn't give her the title of his wife.

    You Min didn¡¯t expect that a little temper would arouse Zhou Shixiong¡¯s vigilance and prepare to take away the legal wife she had obtained.  No matter how smart a woman from a small family is, she will still violate some taboos unconsciously, such as the rule of seven.

    Zhou Shixiong did not take the internal struggle between his wives and concubines to heart. Under the leadership of Ma San, he went through Tingli Town and revised the design drawing according to the actual situation. The final Tingli City was divided into inner and outer cities, and the inner city was square with different lengths and widths.  Five miles, including the old Tingli Town.  The outer city is in an irregular trapezoid shape, surrounding the entire small plain. Those who have experienced Nobunaga's innovations should know that he is imitating Odawara Castle and enclosing farmland within the city to make the city self-sufficient.

    After reading the latest design drawing, Li Fusheng opened his mouth and was speechless. Ma San shook his head secretly on the side. He saw this drawing for the first time a few days ago. His expression was no different from that of Manager Li.

    "Hongchang, do you plan to build a capital city?" In theory, only the emperor and vassal kings can build this kind of city with an inner and outer city structure. It must be a crime of treason for anyone else to build such a city!

    "I'm not that bored to build a large manor for myself to live in. This inner city is for the yamen and the army. It is the core of Tingli City. As long as the inner city is defended, no matter how fierce the trouble is outside, you will not be afraid." Inner City in Zhou Shixiong  The design is equivalent to a super castle, and the main residents are soldiers.

    "This is too big. It is basically impossible to build such a city in less than ten years." Li Fusheng did not count money with Zhou Shixiong, but denied the feasibility of this design in terms of time.

    Zhou Shixiong took out another drawing and handed it to Li Fusheng, "Our Tingli Town is connected in all directions. There are good things and bad things. I don't need to mention the advantages. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to defend. This is a drawing of the dock's defenses. This one has three lines.  The road pass drawings, after the road to the quarry is paved, these will be built first to provide basic safety protection for Tingli Town."

    Li Fusheng didn't have the energy to speak. According to Zhou Shixiong's wishes, the city was built. This pavilion city was absolutely impregnable.  But how could such a huge project be possible with Xiangzhou¡¯s limited manpower and material resources?  Li Fusheng put down the drawings and looked at Zhou Shixiong, and said very sincerely, "Hongchang, let's think of something practical!"

    "What do you mean? I don't have any special requirements for this design. As long as a mason who can build a house can build it!" Zhou Shixiong couldn't figure out what Li Fusheng was saying and asked very puzzledly.

    "Hongchang, how many people do we have in total in Xiangzhou? Even if they are all transferred to build the city, it will definitely not be completed in ten or eight years. This does not include how much money will be invested. Your plan is a bit too ambitious." Li Fusheng couldn't help but  To make it clear, he couldn't let Zhou Shixiong do things according to his temper. Ping Xiangzhou couldn't stand such trouble from him.

    Zhou Shixiong suddenly realized that he had never done any work related to civil engineering. When designing Tingli City, he only thought about perfection and forgot to consider the issues of cost and project volume.  After several years of development, Pingxiang Prefecture has a population of more than 100,000, nearly double what it was when Huang Chengen was in charge of Pingxiang Prefecture.  But how many of these 100,000 people can be allocated to build the city?  half?  Don't even think about it. Being able to allocate 10% is already the limit of Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng.

    It wouldn¡¯t be a problem to invest more money. Ma San spent more than half a month cleaning up the loot and finally estimated the amount of gold and silver jewelry at 1.1 million taels, which was nearly 300,000 taels higher than expected.  Thirty percent of this batch of gold and silver jewelry has been remelted into gold and silver ingots, and the higher value ones have been transferred to Nanning Prefecture and Lang Son Prefecture, where Hu Guangli and Ma San are responsible for selling them. It may take a long time to get the silver.

    "It's my fault. I didn't consider the specific situation of Pingxiangzhou. We will discuss it when I redesign a drawing." Zhou Shixiong understood his mistake and honestly said??Admit the mistake and start designing Tingli City again.
