The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Dongshan is high and thick, blocking the two places. To open up a road, we currently have not enough people to recruit, and the cost required is too high, and the construction period will be very long!"

Nie Zhongxing said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will put all our resources and energy on this road!"

After hearing this, Wang Kang looked at him and said, "Actually, I didn't plan to actually open the mountain. The east mountain is nearly 2000 meters wide. If it were to open the mountain directly, the amount of work would be too large!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Nie Zhongxing asked suspiciously.

"Tunnel!" Wang Kang said in a deep voice, "I'm going to dig a straight hole from the foot of the mountain, across the east mountain, and build a tunnel!"

"This..." Nie Zhongxing was shocked!

It was the first time he had heard of road construction like this, but he was considered a flexible person, so he soon understood that this was indeed a good way.

The amount of work has also been greatly reduced, but the difficulty is not small. He said again: "The Dongshan mountain is rocky, and even excavation will be very difficult. I am afraid that we still have not enough people!"

"Besides, when building a tunnel, safety is also a problem. How can we guarantee that it will not collapse?"

"Ha ha!"

Wang Kang smiled and said: "You don't need to think about these, I already have a plan, what you have to do now is to choose a good day and start working!"

"I'm going to finish this road within a month. I've already thought of the name. It's called the Road of Miracles!"

Chapter 200 Momentum! Reactions

Xinfeng County, which was originally lifeless, has regained its vitality under Wang Kang's actions.

The recruited migrant workers will be arranged by Bank of China Nie, and will be placed according to their personal physique, expertise, and type of work.

But there were too many people, even Xiaotao took Wang Kang's maid as a last resort.

And Liu Jin, under Wang Kang's arrangement, went to Yangzhou City to make a batch of large purchases. Road construction can't be done with bare hands, tools must be necessary.

Shovels, hand picks, side shovels, etc. are shipped in batches.

Such a battle made all the city residents understand that Young Master Kang was not just playing around, but was about to do something big!

Thousands of people have been recruited just for personnel, and the employment fee is a huge number.

There are still preliminary preparations, such a large investment, what exactly is Young Master Kang going to do?

Some people say that Master Kang discovered iron ore in Xinfeng County.

Some people say that Young Master Kang is not satisfied with the current residence and wants to build a huge castle in Xinfeng County.

Each speak their own words.

This movement also attracted the attention of the surrounding area. The former Xinfeng County was just a barren land, and no one paid attention.

But now it is different, since Xinfeng County became the fiefdom of the Earl's Mansion, its meaning has also changed.

Not only Dong Yiwu, but even many veteran nobles have placed personnel here to inquire about information. They are all watching and want to know.

In the Earl's Mansion of Fuyang, which has obtained the fief, can it develop and grow through the fief.

But most people are not optimistic about it, because Xinfeng County is really not a good fiefdom, and there is nothing but iron mines that are not sure whether there are...

There were different opinions outside, but there was no voice from Earl's Mansion, and everything was proceeding step by step.

Governor's Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

Dong Yiwu's face was serious, after a few days he finally accepted the fact that it was impossible to use bandits to harass Wang Kang.

Even he couldn't believe that the bandits in Xinfeng County who were deeply rooted were wiped out by Wang Kang in just a few days...

"You said what did Wang Kang want to do with such a big fight?" Dong Yiwu looked around the crowd and asked in a deep voice.

"His recruitment notice only said to build vigorously, but did not specify what to do."

"It is said that Wang Kang established the Ministry of Industry in Xinfeng County and personally served as the chief officer..."

After hearing what a few people said, Dong Yiwu slapped the table angrily and said, "I'm asking you what he's going to do now, not to listen to your nonsense!"

"Others are fine, what I'm most afraid of is that he discovered the iron mine!" Dong Qian said quietly.

"Seeing that he hired a large number of people and purchased equipment and supplies, it's very possible!"

Dong Yiwu's face was serious, "But it shouldn't be. Since the last time we discovered the iron ore, it has been fully mined, and after exploration, it should not be discovered again."

"I think he just wants to spend money!"

Zheng Qigong snorted coldly, "I've calculated that he spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy equipment and so on from the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce in the past few days,"

"Also, he hired people in Xinfeng County, and the prices were high. There is really nowhere to put the money. It is the fiefdom of the Earl's Mansion, and he can recruit it by force."

Zheng Qigong was full of disdain, "I still want to vigorously build, Xinfeng County is closed all around, and there is only one bad road to go out. Where can it develop?"

"A prodigal son is a prodigal son, no matter what he does, he can't change his nature. According to his way of playing, Wang Dingchang can't earn back!"

After hearing this, several people nodded in approval, but at this moment a discordant voice sounded.

"Short-sighted, no wonder you are not Wang Kang's opponent."

This sound made several people angry, and they were about to refute, but they paused, because the person who spoke was Zhang Xianxian who was sitting in the corner.

They also knew that Zhang Xianxian was a dignified daughter of the governor, who was extremely embarrassed for a while, but dared not say anything?

"I don't know Miss Zhang, what's your opinion?" Dong Yiwu asked, Xuan Ping was waiting for her to deal with Wang Kang.

"In the past few days, I've been to all of Wang Kang's properties, even his heaven and earth, and I went in disguise once. I have to say that these are novel and wonderful."

Zhang Xianxian said indifferently: "In the process, I discovered that this person must not be guessed by common sense. Everything he does, which seems absurd, actually has a deep meaning."

Hearing these words, Dong Qian's complexion was a little ugly. He could tell that Zhang Xianxian seemed to appreciate Wang Kang very much in his words.

"So the most impossible thing is what he wants to do!" Zhang Xianxian's beautiful eyes flashed with confidence, "I guess he wants to build roads!"

"Building roads?" Everyone was shocked by the words.

"impossible!"

Yu Xingye shook his head and said, "Building roads? Which road is he building? There is a small road that goes around Dongshan Mountain and crosses two ditches. If we build that road, the distance will be very long, and it will be very difficult to rebuild."

"That's right," another person echoed: "There is no other way to fix it. Does he still want to open mountains and chop rocks?"

"Haha, this is possible. That prodigal son does not follow common sense. With such a large-scale force, it is really possible to dig Dongshan!" Zheng Qigong laughed.
