Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

Qu Mao stayed on Sky Island for two days. After taking the stones mined from Sky Island, he returned to the outlying island by sea boat.

Currently, there are three berths at the civilian pier on Sky Island, and three berths on the civilian pier on outlying islands. There are 12 seagoing ships in the territory of Yi Village. Qu Mao considers arranging one or two seagoing ships to be stationed between the skyline and outlying islands for a long time.

This means that the sailors in the territory of Yi Village who go to the southern waters to explore the island can also arrange four to five ships to berth on the empty island or outlying island at night, ensuring that the sailors can explore farther.

There are 12 sea-going ships, which is a good arrangement. Even Qu Mao is still thinking about whether to build more civilian docks on outlying islands and empty islands. If he is not worried about spending gold coins too quickly, Qu Mao doesn't want to think about such a small problem. Just start building and you're done.

Back on the outlying islands, Qu Mao immediately went to see the construction progress of the Lihe dam.

Since Qu Mao called the core personnel of Yi Village territory for a meeting last time, it is obvious that the construction speed of the Li River embankment in Li Village has increased rapidly.

When Qu Mao came to see it in person, the two-kilometer-long embankment had been spliced ​​together perfectly, and two 200-meter-long sections were under construction at the same time.

After hearing the news, Jia Sixie came up to Qu Mao and said, "My lord, I plan to arrange three construction sections to start construction at the same time, so that we can repair the 600-meter-long embankment in about two weeks. The dam project is expected to be completed in half a year."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "If the number of citizens is sufficient, then you can arrange it yourself. If the number of citizens is not enough, it doesn't matter if the construction of the Lihe dam is slowed down a bit.

However, the carpentry workshop and blacksmith shop in the village need to help me make more than 10 small carts and send them to the empty island as soon as possible, and also need to match 100 wooden barrels.

The carpenters and blacksmiths in the small village in the north know how to make small carts, and the small carts sent to Sky Island, whether it is the bottom of the cart or the surrounding baffles, must be made of wooden blocks that are tightly stitched, and no gaps are allowed.

Because the empty island mainly uses small carts to transport silt to the outside of the folding space, which is used to lay the soil for planting grass. "

Jia Sixie said: "My lord, this subordinate will remember. After a while, Village Chief Jia Chongde will come over, and I will ask him to make arrangements immediately, and strive to complete the project within three days and transport it to Sky Island.

But I have another problem..."

Qu Mao glanced at Jia Sixie suspiciously.

Jia Sixie didn't hide it, and said directly: "My lord, you brought 300 people here last time, but Li Village has already reached the upper limit of resettlement population.

The main reason is that the area of ​​cultivated land can't keep up, and the subordinates are considering developing the north bank of the Li River, or resettling free people.

The original plan was to relocate 81 people from 15 families of boat workers, but when Master Kong Ming passed by the village two days ago, he told his subordinates that the 15 boat workers were only temporarily resettled in the village, and he would take them away later for another resettlement.

Not to mention these 81 people, there are still other free people in Li Village who need to be resettled, and recently there are male and female leaders who apply for marriage and become free people, and the subordinates have already reported to Lord Su Yan. "

Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about the 15 families of boat workers. Kong Ming should have been inspecting the construction site of the shipyard in the past two days. At that time, a small village called Fulou will be built near the shipyard to accommodate these 15 families of boat workers.

As for Li Village has reached the upper limit of population resettlement, you want to develop the north bank of Li River, there is no problem with this plan.

You can build a wooden or stone bridge leading to the north bank of the Li River, and then arrange for the people to reclaim the cultivated land on the north bank of the Li River. Of course, there is no problem in building houses on the north bank of the Li River. wild beasts harass our people.

The fertile cultivated land on both sides of the river should be owned by the territory as far as possible, and the 10 units of cultivated land allocated by the free people should be reclaimed as far away as possible from the banks of the river.

If it’s really not possible, you can consider that the cultivated land distributed by the free people should be reclaimed by themselves, and it would be good to give economic compensation from the village.

Farmland can also be reclaimed in other directions away from the village. It is nothing more than an additional process of cutting down the trees and cleaning up the weeds on the ground. You and Franklin did a lot in Yi Village in the early days. You don’t need me to teach you. ? "

Jia Sixie nodded and said, "Of course, my lord understands my subordinates well.

The fertile cultivated land on both sides of the Li River must have been known to be reclaimed by the people of the territory as much as possible, and the final ownership belongs to the territory.

However, Lord Su Yan has sent messengers over the past two days to deliver a message, requesting his subordinates to consider the issue from the position of the island owner of the outlying islands, to look at the development and development of the entire outlying islands, and to publicize and encourage the citizens to turn to free people as much as possible.

After thinking about it, the subordinates realized that only by developing the north bank of the Li River to the free people would it be attractive enough. After all, the Li Island was different from the Yi Island, and any place to reclaim the cultivated land would face the harassment of wild beasts, and it was impossible to have enough soldiers. Arranged on the development guard mission on the outlying islands.

Therefore, part of the fertile cultivated land on the north bank of the river must still have to be given up. Otherwise, because the land is fertile, reduce the allocation quantity to 5 units per household? In addition, they are allowed to buy 5 units at their own expense, for a total of 10 units..."

Hearing Jia Sixie's rambling talk, Qu Mao thought about it for a while, and said helplessly, "Island Master Jia, Su Yan said that you should consider issues from the position of Island Master, and I quite agree with you. Consider the development and development of the entire outlying island, rather than a village out of the village.

I suggest not to destroy the standard of 10 units of arable land for each household of free people, you should think of other ways. "

Jia Chongde, the head of Li Village, had already rushed over, and Jia Sixie immediately asked Jia Chongde to arrange the task of producing small carts and wooden barrels that Qu Mao said.

Qu Mao nodded at Jia Chongde, and continued: "Master Jia, there are at least Northward Village, Li Village, Fulou Village, Shipyard, Lihe Dam and Lihe Reservoir on the outlying islands that you need to consider.

In the future, we will even build stone roads connecting small villages like Yidao, so we can't just focus on Licun, although we intend to build Licun as the administrative center of Lidao.

I still suggest that each freeman household should be allocated 10 units of arable land. There is no way to sell the fertile land on both sides of the river. It is just that female freemen are not allowed to set up their own households.

You can still encourage young men and women to form families and then transfer to freemen together. "

Jia Sixie said: "My lord, this subordinate has been educated. Afterwards, this subordinate will communicate and discuss with Village Chief Jia Chongde, and the following subordinates will also arrange trips to visit the small village in the north and the small village of Fulou. We will never disappoint your lord's expectations." .”

Qu Mao patted Jia Sixie on the shoulder and said, "Master Jia, you and Mr. Franklin are the earliest residents of Yi Village, even Zhao Pan and Zhang Da are later than you two.

So the two of you I trust and rely on the most are you two. Don’t put any pressure on it. If you think of a good way, you should implement it. If it’s a big deal, make a mistake and then change it. "

Jia Sixie clasped her hands again and saluted, and said, "Thank you for your trust and love, my lord, I will definitely not let you down."

Chatting with Jia Sixie until it was time for lunch, Qu Mao inspected the construction progress of the Li River embankment, then said goodbye to Jia Sixie and Jia Chongde, asked for a shuttle boat and six sailors, and headed up the Li River.

Back at the construction site of Beixiang Village in the afternoon, Qu Mao went straight down to the bottom of the valley, that is, the bottom of the water storage area after the construction of the Lihe Reservoir. The trees at the bottom of the valley had been cut down, and there was no entrance that seemed to be a folding space at the bottom.

When Qu Mao came down, there were only dozens of local residents pushing a dozen or so small carts, transporting branches, leaves, gravel, soil and other things to the hillside to clean up the bottom of the reservoir.

Along the edge of the valley, rows of zero-level quarries were built. In each quarry, ten leaders were mining rocks in a realistic mining mode, continuously widening the bottom of the valley.

In the center of the valley, there may have been four zero-level quarries in the early days. A square pit with a length and width of 20 meters and a depth of 5 meters has been mined. in a deep pit.

At present, the water stored in this deep pit is about one meter deep, so it can be seen that the three mountain springs far from the source of the river do not produce much water.

Chafidel was patrolling halfway up the mountain, and when he saw Qu Mao inspecting at the bottom of the valley, he came down to Qu Mao's side, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you are welcome to inspect the project area at the bottom of the Lihe Reservoir.

The subordinates at the bottom of the reservoir in the entire water storage area have led the soldiers to search repeatedly, but no treasure chest was found. There are 7 entrances to the suspected folding space on the mountainside, but none at the bottom of the reservoir.

It will take about a month before the subordinates can clean up the entire bottom of the reservoir, including the felling of trees, the ground of the bottom of the reservoir, and the mining of stones at the bottom of the reservoir.

If the water retention dam of the Lihe Reservoir is completed and the water storage starts, it is estimated that it will take five months to fill the bottom of the reservoir based on the water output of the three mountain springs. We have plenty of time for construction. "

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Chafidel, since you are so confident, let Master Kongming start building the dam for the Lihe Reservoir when he returns.

I will return to Yidao tomorrow morning. At that time, I will arrange another 300 citizens to come to support the construction of the Lihe Reservoir. However, these 300 citizens are only supporting the construction of the Lihe Reservoir, and they are not relocating here. I have to make it clear to Kong Ming.

When Kong Ming finds the construction location of the shipyard, we will start construction of several major projects on the outlying islands simultaneously, including the Lihe Reservoir Dam, the Lihe Dam, the shipyard, the construction of Fulou Village, and the expansion of the north bank of the Lihe Village. Engineering, etc., must be constructed without discrimination.

These 300 leaders are used as mobile resources, and if there is not enough, the manpower of these 300 leaders will be mobilized to support.

With a high probability, I will bring these 300 citizens over from the purple light path in the underground passage within a few days. Please tell Kong Ming to let Kong Ming plan and arrange these leaders.

In addition, all the projects in the village allow Kong Mingduo to communicate with Jia Sixie. "

Chafidel said: "Yes, my lord. This subordinate will remember it, please rest assured, my lord, my subordinate and Master Kong Ming will make proper arrangements."
