Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Feeling that something was wrong, they quickly collected the data and sent it to the Governor's Mansion in Yangzhou in an emergency.

They felt that Li Ke might not have planned to recruit so many people at all, or never thought that the effect of the newspaper would be so good that it attracted so many people to work.

They didn't think about it themselves. They just thought there were a lot of people before, but they didn't know how many, so they just accepted them all.

Now that they have all registered, a total of 1.4 people, they are a little scared.

Li Ke must be the one to decide, it is best to repatriate a group of people, otherwise this is too scary.

If someone goes to Chang'an to sue the imperial court, then they will be miserable.

Now it depends on how His Highness King Wu will deal with it. If one is not handled well, His Royal Highness Wu may be in trouble!

Even though it was very late and night fell, someone still rushed to the Governor's Mansion with the data on the number of jobs recruited in Huating County.

"Your Highness, something serious happened!"

An official in charge of registration reported to Li Kehui in a panic.

"Don't panic, what's the matter?"

Li Ke looked at him in surprise, and then asked.

Could it be that there was some turmoil in Huating County?

Didn't he arrange for 2 Yangzhou navy to guard there?How can something go wrong?

"Your Highness, there are too many registered people!"

The official handed over the data to 21 and said urgently.

Li Ke took a look and found that 1.4 people registered today, which was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that the first batch would be a few thousand people. It seems that he still underestimated the influence of the newspaper and the attractiveness of this treatment to everyone.

However, even if there were 1.4 people, they wouldn't panic like this, right?

The dormitory and various supporting facilities prepared before can satisfy so many people!

"There is no turmoil, what are you afraid of?"

Li Ke saw that there was no turmoil, so he didn't care much at once.

"However, gathering 1.4 men, if someone says some nonsense, I'm afraid it will bring you trouble!"

The official thought for a while, studied the wording, and said to Li Ke in a worried tone.

He really wanted to say directly that with so many men gathered, someone would definitely sue Li Ke for rebellion.

And all dynasties and dynasties have dealt with the prince's rebellion absolutely seriously and suppressed it forcefully.

But rebellion is also a sensitive topic, he can only express his meaning tactfully, and he believes Li Ke can understand.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious, the king will write a letter to explain the matter to the father."

Li Ke understood what the officials were worried about, so he smiled and comforted him immediately.

"Go back and follow the procedures. Arrange people to live in and start working tomorrow. You don't need to worry about the rest. Of course, if something happens, the king will watch over you. What are you afraid of?"

Li Ke gave him a reassurance, and told him to go back and follow the previously set procedures.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After hearing Li Ke's words, the official felt relieved a lot.

Indeed, as Li Ke said, since Li Ke dared to do such a thing, he must be absolutely sure.

Otherwise, Li Ke, who is a dignified prince and who is still competing for the position of prince, would not be able to put himself in danger.

Besides, Li Ke's life must be worth more than theirs, Li Ke is not afraid, what is he afraid of?

"Next, we will continue to recruit people. Anyway, as long as people come, they will register and accept them. We must prepare dormitories, daily necessities and the like in advance."

Li Ke explained to him.

Although there are more than 1.4 people, it is still a little less for the city to be built in a short period of time.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

He nodded again, and then left the Governor's Mansion.

In the next few days, one after another, people saw the news in the newspaper and rushed over from farther away.

It wasn't until a week later that almost no one came.

At this time, there were 2 people working on the construction site in Huating County!

When Li Ke came to Huating County for inspection by boat, he found that if Huating County was a large construction site, the 2 people would be divided into countless small construction sites.

There are complete planning drawings, so under the leadership of various craftsmen, everyone is working hard to accelerate the construction of this city.

After Li Ke came here, he kept a low profile and did not reveal his identity. He didn't want to disturb everyone's work so as not to affect the progress of the project.

He mainly came to the place where everyone lived to inspect the sanitary conditions here.

He took a quick look and found that the management here was good. Although the sanitation conditions were not as good as those in their own homes, they were not bad in the case of collective living.

Then he came to the neighborhood of the built collective toilet, and saw a special person cleaning and disinfecting.

"That's right, hygienic conditions must be ensured, and if anyone gets sick, tell the doctor immediately!"

Li Ke nodded, very satisfied with the attitude of the people below to act according to his requirements.

However, he still spoke seriously to the people below.

Here, there is always a medical team.

For example, when there is a work-related injury at work, where the skin is scratched, or a wound is cut, or a fall, etc., a doctor will come to treat it for free immediately.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The people below nodded respectfully in agreement.

Then Li Ke came to the place to eat again. A canteen was built here to cook for the 2 people.

The cooks are all local women hired from Huating County, and many of them are even people who lived here and were demolished.

To demolish other people's houses, and then arrange cooking work, which can be regarded as compensation.

Li Ke took a look at the prepared dishes. They were basically home-cooked dishes. Considering that everyone was doing physical work, the dishes were rich in oil, water and meat.

Of course, after all, it is a big pot of rice. Although the ingredients may not be bad, the taste is definitely not much better.

"Are you still used to eating?"

Li Ke asked the person in charge of the cafeteria.

"Your Highness, we are all ordinary people. We basically eat these things on weekdays. Maybe the food here is even better."

"Although the taste may not be as good as at home, everyone is still very satisfied."

The person in charge of the canteen also reported to Li Kehui honestly.

Hearing this, Li Ke nodded.

After inspecting around, Li Ke felt that the surroundings were a bit desolate and almost meaningless.

"You can arrange small vendors in Yangzhou and Suzhou to bring some commodities to sell here, such as daily necessities or some snacks."

"There are 2 people here, it's not a small market."

Li Ke gave instructions to the people below.

This is a large construction site with 2 people, and everyone basically lives in the dormitory, so the range of activities on weekdays is only so large.

Even if you want to spend, you have to go to Suzhou City the nearest, which is obviously unrealistic.

Now there is money and no place to spend it here, if you prepare some commodities and food to sell here, there will definitely be a big market.

After all, the food in the cafeteria is a little tasteless after all, and I need to buy other things to change the taste.

The market of 2 people is not small. If it is managed well, the economy will be much better.

"What Your Highness said is absolutely true!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up immediately, they had never thought about this before.

You must know that these people can receive 9 pennies a month, and 2 people are 1.8 pennies!

The spending power of these people is absolutely beyond doubt, and they do have a demand for some commodities and food.

If some people come here to do business, it will not only meet everyone's needs, but also revitalize the local economy, killing two birds with one stone!

They have already decided in their hearts, and then they will make arrangements according to what Li Ke said just now.

Li Ke smiled, and then continued to inspect the next place.

He didn't mean to make money from these people, it's just that people work on the construction site every day, day after day, and it will be depressing after a long time.

I still have to consume it, and it is better to vent.

After inspecting everywhere, Li Ke found that there was nothing wrong, so he left Huating County by boat and returned to Yangzhou City.

The next step is to supervise the firearms training of the Shenji Battalion and the Yangzhou Navy.

The Shenji Battalion now has a musket in hand, and the Yangzhou Navy has also received a lot, and it will be able to have a man in the next month at the latest.

The efficiency of the training is naturally much higher. It is no longer a single-person shooting training like before, but a formation of salvos to the front for intensive barrage training.

Li Ke had someone produce some whistles, blowing them for aiming, and blowing them again for shooting.

In this way, the command has also become clear, and everyone only needs to listen to the sound of the whistle to know what to do.

In addition to muskets, the training of artillery has not been left behind, and there are special artillerymen operating it.

Li Ke even asked Shenjiying to set up a venue for a simulated battle with an imaginary enemy.

It is to treat the various objects arranged in front as imaginary enemies, and then attack the opponent.

The cooperation of artillery and muskets, as well as the use of various tactics, etc.

After a period of time, the training results are still very gratifying.

Not to mention anything else, at least I know how to fight in the era of hot weapons.

With this combat power, he will be much more confident when he goes to the Goguryeo battlefield.

While he was actively preparing for the battle in Yangzhou, Chang'an City also received news from him.

The first person to receive the news was naturally Li Shimin, who was sent by Li Ke to send intelligence personnel to Prince Wu's Mansion, and then sent to the palace by people from Prince Wu's Mansion.

Li Shimin was slightly surprised when he saw the contents of the letter.

He was not surprised that Li Ke wanted to rebuild a city in Huating County.

Because when Li Ke offered to go to Yangzhou before, he drew this circle on the map and said this idea.

However, he didn't expect Li Ke to recruit as many as 2 people to build the city!

You must know that these 2 people are not old and weak women and children, but all men between the ages of 18 and 40!

One weapon per person, that's [-] soldiers!

If he didn't trust Li Ke very much and knew Li Ke's style of doing things, if any prince dared to do such a thing, he would definitely send an army to suppress it immediately.

But this person is Li Ke, so he can still read the content of this letter calmly.

"To give these 2 people a salary of 1.8 per month, only this kid can do it."

Li Shimin couldn't help but shook his head. There was corvée in the Tang Dynasty, and every household had to send someone to work for the government for free for two months every year.

But Li Ke obviously didn't have the idea of ​​using corvée, and directly had a lot of money and money to hire people.

But this is also good, otherwise 2 people will be forced to serve in corvée, which may arouse public outrage.

In history, Emperor Shihuang and Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, in order to build the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, severely injured the corvees, labored the people and wasted money, which aroused public anger.

And although Li Ke is also doing a lot of construction work, he gives money in real money, and each of the 2 people will give!

Not only will this not arouse public indignation, but it also provides jobs for 2 people, allowing them to have a decent income every month.

In this way, things will be done, and the common people will become richer through hard work, killing two birds with one stone!

This is all because Li Ke is rich and willing to spend money, and it is really not willing to give this money to other people.

After all, a monthly salary of 1.8 guan is required, and the daily food expenses are also free, so the cost of this month is also very high.

The construction of a city takes years as the time unit, and it costs more than 20 guan in one year.
