That is to say, there must be two piers in Shanghai City, one is external and the other is internal.

And a railway will be built between the two piers, and freight trains will pass through.

If the goods in the Yangtze River Basin and the Canal Basin are to be exported to overseas countries, they need to be transported to the wharf along the river by boat.

Then by freight train, it is transported to the pier along the coast, so that the goods can be boarded and sent to sea.

Ships coming back from overseas transactions will first dock at coastal docks, and customs will conduct inspections and cargo registration, and then pay customs duties.

After that, the goods can be transported by train to the wharf along the river, and through the many ships on that wharf, they can be transported to the Yangtze River Basin and the Canal Basin.

The newly built Shanghai City will be a transfer station for inland river trade and overseas trade, which is very important for the next era of great navigation.

This is why Li Ke focused on planning and building the city after he came to Yangzhou.

The current Yangzhou is indeed very prosperous, but in a few years it will be surpassed by the wasteland in front of us.

At that time, maybe the tax revenue of this city alone for one year will be able to offset the fiscal revenue of Datang for one year!

This is no exaggeration!

Of course, these are still in his planning, in fact, many things are still missing.

For example, tariffs have not yet begun to be collected.

For example, trains have not yet begun to be built.

Even the city is just the beginning, and the construction has not yet started.

But this does not prevent Li Ke from having extremely high expectations for this city.

Once the city is fully built according to his plan, there is every chance to reproduce the prosperous and developed Shanghai more than 1000 years ago.

"Now that everything is ready, let's start working in full!"

"This king gives you the power to mobilize the manpower and material resources of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. If you need help and materials, just ask."

"This king has only one request for you, to build the city as quickly as possible according to this king's plan, with quality and quantity guaranteed!"

Li Ke was looking forward to it in his heart, and directly promised to the person in charge of building the city.

He gave the principal great power and could mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources.

In short, he can apply for transfer for whatever he needs to build the city.

The purpose is to build the city as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The chief immediately nodded excitedly.

Li Ke gave him so much power, which naturally meant that he attached great importance to this city of Shanghai.

And once he builds the city according to Li Ke's request, he will naturally make a great contribution!

Moreover, he also read the urban planning made by Li Ke himself, which is very novel!

Because, this city has no walls!

Yes, without city walls, it is completely an open city.

Although from a military point of view, this city is a big colander, whether it is from land, from the Yangtze River or the sea, the city has no defense capabilities at all when it is sandwiched by bread.

But this city also has too many places that shocked him. Many concepts were completely new to him, but they could bring him great insight and improvement.

He felt that as long as the city could be built, he would probably grow up to be the most outstanding city builder in the Tang Dynasty besides Li Ke!

Even the master craftsmen of the Chang'an City Ministry of Industry are definitely not as good as him.

As for why Li Ke should be removed?

Just kidding, this planning drawing was drawn by Li Ke himself, and these novel ideas were also proposed by Li Ke.

Li Ke is the patriarch in this respect, he can only be regarded as the younger brother who lives with the patriarch.

After the explanation, Li Ke didn't stay in Huating County any longer, returned to Yangzhou City, and began to mobilize the unified distribution materials.

In the next half month, Li Ke asked the principal to build a large number of simple dormitories not far from Huating County. There are some Datong shops in one dormitory, which can be used for many people to rest and sleep.

And built a lot of toilets and so on.

The reason for building these is also to prepare for the next construction.

Building a city naturally requires manpower, and a lot of manpower!

Where will these people live after they come to Huating County?So prepare your quarters.

Inhabited by people will produce all kinds of domestic garbage and excrement, which must be properly disposed of naturally.

Otherwise, if one is not careful, various diseases will be born, and when there are so many people at once, there will be big troubles.

In the future, it will be disinfected every day to ensure hygienic conditions.

As for recruiting, Li Ke directly wrote a manuscript and sent it to the newspaper group.

The next day, Datang Daily was published in Yangzhou and Suzhou, as well as some surrounding state capitals.

Now Datang Daily has set up newspapers and printing workshops in the surrounding state capitals. The newspaper samples will be delivered the day before, and then printed and sold locally.

It can be said that the Datang Daily now has great influence in the north of Yangzhou, the south of Suzhou, and the Canal River Basin.

"His Royal Highness King Wu will build a new city in Huating County, Suzhou in the near future. Workers are urgently needed for the construction of the city. If you are interested, you can go to Huating County to work."

"I work four hours a day, with a daily salary of 30 Wen, including food and lodging. The recruitment volume is huge. Men between the ages of 18 and 40 are welcome to apply!"

The newspaper published the news that Li Ke was going to build a city in Huating County, and recruited workers in the newspaper.

He works eight hours a day and is paid 30 Wen a day, including room and board.

This job salary is still very good in this era, especially now that the seedlings in the fields have been planted, and it is the slack season.

I believe that there will be many people willing to come to Huating County to work and earn more money.

Sure enough, when people in several nearby state capitals saw the job recruitment information in the newspaper, they immediately started discussing it.

"Really? His Royal Highness King Wu wants to build a new city in Huating County?"

"Isn't that a wasteland in Huating County? What's the use of building a city there?"

"When did His Royal Highness Wu do something meaningless? There must be a reason we don't know."

"Is it still too late to buy land in Huating County? I always feel that Huating County will be prosperous in the future."

Many people are curious why Li Ke wants to build a city in that place where no shit in Huating County. They feel that there is no use there!

However, due to blind trust in Li Ke, everyone felt that since Li Ke chose to build the city there, there must be a reason.

Some people even wondered if they could go to Huating County to buy a piece of land. After all, with Li Ke's blessing, Huating County would definitely be prosperous in the future.

If you buy a piece of land, it may appreciate in value and sell for a good price.

"Working four hours a day, the salary is 30 Wen? Also includes room and board?"

"is this real?"

"What His Highness King Wu said, can it be false? His Highness King Wu is famous for being generous to the common people."

"All the seedlings in my house have been planted. Next, there is a bobbin truck for water diversion, and my wife for weeding. I want to work in Huating County. I can earn 9 coins in a month!"

"I think so too. Anyway, I don't have any farming work. I don't know what to do when I'm idle. Now I just go to Huating County to work!"

"Anyway, board and lodging are included, and after a few months of work, I can save a few coins and take them home."

"It's not too late. I'll go home and explain to my family now, and then I'll go to Huating County. If I'm late, I won't be full of people."

"Yes, yes, if the recruitment is full, it will be a waste of time."

"It's a pity that the old man is 45 years old this year, and he won't accept it if he goes there!"

And more people pay attention to the recruitment information above. After seeing this treatment, everyone's eyes light up and they are very excited.

Working for four hours is nothing to everyone, as long as there is work to do and money to take, it doesn't matter if you don't rest.

And the wages are 30 yuan a day, which can buy sixty to seventy catties of rice, and the wages are not low.

The most important thing is that there is work every day, which means that there are 30 Wen every day, and 9 Wen in a month is not a small number!

What's more, it also includes food and accommodation. For many people who have no consumption expenses other than food and accommodation, they can save 9 Wen in a month.

After a few months, you can earn a few coins and take them home. This kind of thing is naturally very attractive to everyone.

And at this time point, everyone's crops have already been planted, and there are some small things that the family can get busy with.

It is more valuable to go to Huating County as a strong labor force.

So, the big guys ran home one after another, and told their family about what was in the newspaper.

Then he quickly packed up a few changes of clothes, said goodbye to his family in a hurry, and boarded the boat to Huating County.

This kind of thing is happening in Yangzhou, Suzhou and more than a dozen surrounding state capitals, and a large number of people are rushing towards Huating County.

There are also young men among them, and there are also 40-year-old men.

There are even two generations of a family, father and son who come to work in Huating County together.

For example, one father and three sons in the family, that is, four laborers, can earn 120 yuan a day, 3.6 yuan a month!

Usually want to earn 1.6 guan, how difficult is that?

In short, in just a few days, Huating County, which was originally desolate, suddenly became lively.

All are people from more than a dozen nearby state capitals who come to work.

Here, two Yangzhou sailors had been mobilized a long time ago. They held weapons and maintained the order at the scene.

After all, there are quite a few of these young and strong, and once there is turmoil, it is not a trivial matter.

In addition, some officials were transferred from Yangzhou and Suzhou to register and manage the people from various prefectures who came to work on 5.9.

"Don't worry, follow the order and line up. Please rest assured, everyone can have a job as long as they meet the requirements!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu has an order that anyone who does not abide by the order and makes troubles without reason will be arrested and severely punished!"

The person in charge held a tin horn and repeated these two sentences loudly.

The first sentence is to reassure everyone, telling everyone that no matter how many people there are here, don't worry, don't worry about not having a place.

The second sentence is to warn everyone, as long as there are too many people to make trouble, otherwise His Highness King Wu will not be used to you.

After hearing these two sentences, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was really relieved. Since there are as many people as there are recruits, it is nothing more than a matter of waiting a little longer.

And once there is trouble, they will be arrested by these soldiers with sharp steel knives in front of them, and then they will be severely punished by His Royal Highness Wu Wang.

Thinking of this, everyone was still very afraid.

The scene finally settled down, and the next step was to register one by one.

Such as name, where you come from, how old you are, whether you have any diseases and so on.

Generally, those who have no problem will receive a work card, which represents their identity. In the future, with the work card, they can enter and leave the construction site, dormitory and other places.

Because there were so many people here, even though many officials were arranged to register here, they all registered for a whole day!

And when the final data came out, it also surprised everyone!

Because, there are a total of 1.4 people in this batch of workers!

PS: The first update! .

Chapter 274 Wei Zheng speaks for Li Ke?Send Li Jing to investigate!

We must know that this number was extremely sensitive in the ancient feudal era.

Not to mention the 1.4 people gathered, all of them are men between the ages of 18 and 40!

If each person is issued with one weapon, that would be 1.4 combatable soldiers!

Generally, if anyone dares to do such a thing, he will definitely be labeled as a rebel, and then he will be executed.

Even these officials felt their legs tremble a little after seeing this data at this time.

If His Majesty wants to pursue this matter, none of them can escape, they are all accomplices and will be beheaded together.

After all, they were the ones who took these people in one by one, and registered and issued work cards one by one, so they definitely couldn't escape.
