The first thousand two hundred and forty-fifth chapters: the industry is waiting

I settled in the camp for a night, had a good rest, and set off again early the next morning. Of course, the two assassins who were held were also escorted together.

With the scene from last night, I no longer waste my time today. By noon, Qinglong County was in front of me.

It is better to say that it is a fortress than a county seat.

Like the feudal storm in Europe, a huge fortress is in the middle, square. However, for military purposes, sparrows are small, but they should have one, including a yamen, a small schoolyard, several warehouses, and a granary.

Outside the fortress, there is a place for military farming. Generally speaking, in normal times, the military households all live outside the city gates, and once it is time for war, everyone hides in the fort to defend.

The city walls here have been corroded for countless years and have long been traced. The city blocks built with rammed earth are also covered in dust. Most of the fields buried outside are already deserted. This place is really not suitable for farming. Now a large number of people are entering here, but they have become lively.

The workshop is about to be built, so a brick kiln and a cement workshop have been built first. All the raw materials can be transported from Shanhaiguan. The brick kiln has already emitted thick smoke and obviously it has begun to be fired.

A large number of people who have just arrived here can only temporarily live in tents. Craftsmen look at this desolate new world in a novel way. It has to be said that the scene in front of them is very different from what they did at the beginning. At present, the only food here is dry food, and the ones they can live in are just sheds. They usually live in a pampered place in Zhenguo Mansion, but now they have to deal with the cold weather and are in ragged clothes.

But all of them have come, but fortunately most people have suffered hardships. Everyone has survived the poor life and is not as delicate as it is.

The reason for staying is also very simple. At least their salary is higher, and at least every day here is moving in a better direction.

There is a big difference between farmers and craftsmen.

At least that's what Sun Qi thinks. Sun Qi, the big shopkeeper, has arrived here in advance. How can he not worry about his nephew's affairs?

The matter of the China Merchants Group has already been on track, so this time, Sun Qi personally came to Qinglong County, and he had to ask about everything in detail.

Everything here made Sun Qi feel very pleased. If he commanded a group of farmers for development, there would inevitably be many bottlenecks, but these craftsmen are completely different. Most of the craftsmen here are literate, so they can command more easily.

More importantly, the work of craftsmen is completed by unity and cooperation. They have a certain organizational initiative. At present, they are responsible for digging wells, first building important facilities, settling up people who arrive, and preventing any sluts from causing trouble here, and distributing food. Everything is in a hurry.

With people, everything is easy to handle, and the people here are rich, so Sun Qi doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, because the merchants from the land followed, like flies, had long targeted the silver in the hands of the craftsmen and apprentices of the Zhenguo Mansion.

There are almost everything in the main business shops in the capital. Many peddlers and merchants are outside, drawing their own fields and setting up a tent on them. In front of the tent, they place various goods, from cotton coats to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, as well as hot steamed cakes, noodle soup, tricks, and those who hire cars are some women's rouge and water powder, and even fruits and fruits are shipped from Shanhaiguan. Of course, the prices here are often more expensive.

Not only that, there are also Cuju. Some half-best boys who came with their father and brother bought Cuju and directly searched for the grass in the wild, and screamed and made a fuss.

All kinds of vehicles were on the periphery, and some people simply used cargo trucks to surround this place with an obstacle similar to a city wall. At night, they could lit torches and bonfires everywhere and then they could sleep in the tent.

The accent here is very seldom, but theft happens. It’s not that the people here are all good people, but the vast majority of people have stable salaries, so they just don’t want to be so.

What's more, everyone settled in the form of workshops, and the craftsmen and apprentices who made the armoured put together their tents; the crystal-making people and the masons were roughly the same.

After half a month of running-in, dozens of groups have been spontaneously formed here, each of which does not invade each other, and does not invade the well water.

The new army of Zhenguo was stationed on the periphery, and still issued orders every day to practice as in the capital. Occasionally, gunfire sounded loudly. At first, everyone thought it was novel, but later they got used to it.

In the brick kiln, trucks of bricks are out of the kiln. Now this thing is really in short supply. It is mixed with cement and starts to build workshops. The facilities in life can only be put aside for the time being, and everyone can only put it aside first.

When Wang Shouren and Sun Qi heard that Ye Chunqiu were assassinated halfway, they couldn't help but feel nervous. They quickly sent someone to meet Ye Chunqiu's car several miles away, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone welcomed Ye Chunqiu to this small city block. Ye Chunqiu got off the carriage and looked at the scarred place without showing any disgust.

After leaving the gate, it is rare to have such a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Everyone came to see the ceremony, and Ye Chunqiu first ordered Tang Bohu beside him, "Those two assassins, you go and try the first trial."

"Me?" Tang Bohu was stunned for a moment, but he never expected Ye Chunqiu to give him such a task.

Why is it me? I am a useless scholar!

Tang Bohu really wanted Ye Chunqiu to ask for another person to be a clever, but then he thought, does this mean that Ye Chunqiu’s trust in him?

Tang Bohu nodded at Ye Chunqiu, and took the half-dead assassin with several new army students in the town country to interrogate.

Ye Chunqiu went directly to the government office here. The signboard of Qinglong County has been removed. Now the golden painted signboard of Zhenguo Mansion has been replaced. I don’t know whose idea is this. Ye Chunqiu felt that other places are dilapidated in this place. Only this sign finally gave Qinglong a new atmosphere, brand new and a little joy.

It was obviously a simple renovation inside, and the main hall was converted into a small hall, with several sofas arranged in the hall.

Ye Chunqiu sat down on the sofa in the hall, and everyone sat there.

Wang Shouren's face was gloomy and said first: "Chunqiu, who is going to assassinate you?"

Although Wang Shouren is mainly responsible for training the new army in the country on weekdays, he is also a very smart person. When he heard that Ye Chunqiu was attacked, he thought that behind this was definitely not that simple.

I am afraid that those people will come up with the idea of ​​Qinglong in the future, and the safety here is a big problem.
Chapter completed!
