Chapter 190 The Shipyard and Fulou Village Started Construction
The next day was still dark, and Kong Ming had already gotten up to make breakfast and wake up the citizens.
Even after breakfast, when Kong Ming took 200 leaders and 50 third-tier princess guards to accompany Qu Mao, Su Yan, and Su Qiaoer to set off, it was still dark, so Kong Ming had to ask the leaders and third-tier princesses The princess guards each lit a torch to light their way.
Because there were too many people, everyone did not take a shuttle boat down the Li River this time, but walked to Li Village on two legs.
Before seven o'clock in the morning, the leader team led by Kong Ming rushed to Li Village. Seeing so many leaders coming, Jia Sixie immediately asked the kitchen to increase the supply of breakfast.
Village Chief Jia Chongde also came to greet the villagers who rushed over to have breakfast.
While having breakfast, Kong Ming asked Jia Sixie, "Island Master Jia Sixie, are the 15 boatmen and their families ready? This time, the Lord sent 500 citizens to support the construction of the outlying islands. The engineering department for the construction of the water dam brought 200 local residents to Li Village this time.
I plan to leave 100 leaders for Li Village to develop the north bank of Li River and speed up the construction of Li River dams. Another 100 people I want to take to build the shipyard and Fulou village. "
Jia Sixie said respectfully: "Lord Kong Ming, since you sent the news last time, my subordinates have been in good communication with the 15 families of the boatmen, and they can set off at any time.
The subordinates have no objection to Master Kong Ming's arrangement, but the Master Shipyard and Fulou Xiaocun attach so much importance to it. Is it enough for you to bring only 100 people there? If the construction period of the shipyard is delayed, it will not be easy to report to the adults. "
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said with a smile: "100 citizens are naturally not enough, but before the shipyard is built, 15 boatman families can gather at least 40 laborers, at most it is just a salary.
In the future, people will be transferred from the Lihe Reservoir Dam Project, but the construction of the Lihe Reservoir Dam Project just started yesterday, and there is always a bigger manpower gap at the beginning.
By the way, Master Jia, Master Su Yan, Master Su Qiaoer will all be there tomorrow, why don't you take the appointed head of Fulou Village with you, why don't you go and have a look together. "
Jia Sixie said: "That's fine, the village head of Fulou Village appointed Lin Kaifeng, and I will take him to take office tomorrow.
Lord Su Yan has been emphasizing that the citizens should be converted to free citizens. At that time, try to transfer some female leaders from the north to the small villages. The male and female leaders who are promoted from the village get married and turn to free citizens. The territory will be given a first-class residential house and 10 units of cultivated land. The initiative attracted a large number of citizens to marry and convert to free citizens. "
Kong Ming said: "Fulou Village can follow suit, but that is something that Village Chief Lin Kaifeng needs to consider.
I only care that the shipyard will be built as soon as possible, otherwise the 15 boatmen will not have jobs, and there will be no source of income. After all, it will not be a long time.
In the morning, we are going to leave two sea ships. Please help prepare the tools and supplies, and I will put them in my backpack later. "
Jia Sixie said: "It was prepared a few days ago, and the tools and supplies are all in the prepared cabin of the seagoing ship."
Kong Ming nodded and said, "Arrange boarding as soon as possible after eating, and we will try to set off at 9 o'clock."
Jia Sixie immediately said: "My lord, Lord Kong Ming, Lord Su Yan, and Lord Su Qiaoer, please have breakfast here, and my subordinates will arrange for the leaders to board the ship first."
By the time Qu Mao, Su Yan and the others arrived at the outlying island civilian pier after breakfast, the two seagoing ships were already ready, and Jia Sixie and Lin Kaifeng, village chiefs, were already standing on overtime.
Based on the distance on the sea, the shipyard is about 15 kilometers away from the village’s civilian wharf. After the land road is built in the future, I don’t know how far it will be.
After Kong Ming climbed to the shore, he turned his head and pointed to the natural harbor, and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, the natural harbor here is perfect for building shipyards. The water depth is more than 30 meters, and the diameter of the water area is 1 kilometer. It is definitely a natural shipyard or a military port. best position.
There is a valley about 600 meters southwest of this natural harbor. In the center of the valley is a pond about 5 meters wide, 7 meters long and 3 meters deep. The subordinates have confirmed that it is all fresh water.
The valley is low in the middle and the surrounding area rises slowly. The area that can accommodate the people and reclaim the cultivated land has a radius of 2 kilometers, which has a very large expandability.
So my subordinates chose to build a small village called Fulou in that valley to accommodate the boatmen’s families and our citizens. The fresh water in the pond can be used by the villagers. "
Qu Mao smiled, and said: "It turns out that there is not only one fresh water in the Li River on the outlying island, have you found other fresh water sources?"
Kong Ming smiled wryly and said: "My lord, the source of fresh water on the outlying islands must not be limited to the Li River, but the pond in the valley of Fulou Village is definitely formed by the accumulation of rainwater.
If the outlying islands only have fresh water from the river, it would be impossible for such a large island to be full of lush vegetation. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said to Su Qiaoer: "Su Qiaoer, according to Kong Ming's site selection, organize the leaders to start building the shipyard and Fulou Village.
First arrange the bottom line of the people to be on duty to build the shipyard, and the other people will give priority to building 15 first-level residential buildings and 20 zero-level territorial houses in the valley.
Jia Sixie should plan the location of the future cultivated land. Su Yan is here to visit this time. Don't expect Master Su Yan to arrange it for you.
The third-tier princess guards arrange patrolling, guarding and guarding tasks by themselves. "
Su Yan smiled and said: "Qiaoer, arrange it by yourself. We talked only on paper in Yi Village before. Now it depends on your strength."
Village head Lin Kaifeng asked: "My lord, what kind of functional buildings does Fulou Village need to build?"
Qu Mao laughed, and said: "Mr. Lin, you didn't learn well when you were the village head.
Toilets and medical rooms are necessary. The shipyard is related to carpentry, so at least one carpentry workshop and one blacksmith shop should be built, and the others will be discussed later. "
Su Yan nodded and gave Lin Kaifeng an encouraging look.
Su Qiaoer arranged the construction task of the shipyard, and then began to organize the leaders to walk towards the valley pointed out by Kong Ming.
Kong Ming led the way with a goose feather fan, Qu Mao said to Su Yan who was still in a daze: "Su Yan, follow up. If you don't train a few assistants, you will be exhausted sooner or later.
Today I have driven another day and I am too tired.
Everyone will stay in the small village of Fulou tonight, and wait until tomorrow before returning to the voyage. I will go into the valley first and sweep away the wild beasts. "
After finishing speaking, Qu Mao rushed towards the valley.
