Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

"Exactly. This ship was built under the supervision of Huang Sikong. My lord has a bright eye. Although Huang Sikong is young, he has great talent. He is really the best candidate for the position of Sikong."

"Really? That's good. I was a little worried at first. I was afraid that Yueying was too young to take on such a heavy responsibility. Now it seems that my lord has indeed chosen the right person."

"Of course, most of the ships in my Wanghai are now equipped with twin steam engines. The same is true for steam vehicles traveling to and from the Mekong River. The transportation of goods is extremely fast. I hope that the development momentum of Wanghai City is unstoppable."

Lin Bei then asked, "How is the road construction going? How long have Wanjiang East Road and Wanjiang West Road been built?"

"Now Wanjiang West Road has been paved for [-] miles, but it is blocked by a big river. A bridge needs to be built. Wanjiang West Road is nearly a thousand miles away, and it also encountered a big river. Huang Sikong is now sending craftsmen to build bridges. Once passed, we can continue to pave the road.”

"It's only [-] miles in total? It's not very fast. Could it be because of difficulties in erecting the bridge?"

"It is true, because the river is too deep, so it is not easy to erect bridge piers."

"Oh, let Yueying and the craftsmen figure out a way. By the way, the road has been paved for [-] miles. How many more cities have been built?"

"My lord, the road is not only paved for [-] miles, but it is nearly [-] miles of cement road, because I found several ore veins in the forest, and these veins are now connected to the road."

"Iron veins?"

"Two iron ore veins, one jade mine vein, and another one that adults must not think of, because it is coal."

"Coal mine?" Lin Bei laughed loudly, good guy, this forest is really rich in resources, "How about the reserves?"

"It should be very big, and it is being mined now, but..."

"But what?"

"But the coal seems not to be as good as coal from Coal Island. When it burns, the black smoke is very thick."

"It doesn't matter, it's all coal, and it can be used." There are not many anthracite coal mines, and the general coal mines are not anthracite coal. It can only be said that Lin Bei is lucky to find one: "You haven't said how many cities have been built?"

"There is only one city, which was built at the original Haka tribe's camp, and beyond that, there is really no suitable place to build a city, and now the city is very simple, with only a few soldiers and civilians to facilitate mining of iron ore. "

"It's only one city, isn't it difficult to supply?"

An Zhong nodded straightly and said: "It is indeed a bit difficult, especially the food that the aborigines need every day. If they didn't kill some wild animals such as bison and deer nearby, the aborigines would not be able to eat."

Not to mention modern times, even in ancient times, there was rarely a distance of four hundred miles between two cities in the Central Plains. Even if there were such places, there must be many small villages or townships between the two cities. Buffer, now Wanghai City needs to dispatch a lot of manpower and material resources to build roads every day, and the amount of cement required is also astronomical. If you start from Linjiang City, it will take a lot of time to rush to the front, so transportation is inevitable. If it weren't for steam cars, it would be even more difficult, and at the same time, the number of people who needed to be mobilized would be even greater.

"Since the road construction is currently blocked by the bridge, let's start building the city. First build the city of Nahaka. Well, the name of Haka City is no longer used. The newly built city is called Yanhe City. First, the city along the river The city was built as a supply city. By the way, the iron mine beside the city along the river is huge, right?"

"Of course, Haka... the iron mine beside Yanhe City is really huge. In addition, my lord, the sergeants also found a lot of long-nosed beasts there. Do you need to capture them and tame them?"

"Well, yes, I can catch it and let it be domesticated. Although I hope that there is a steam car in Haicheng, it can be used to cultivate land. Sometimes food must be grown in the forest."

After talking about this matter, Lin Bei saw Bian Ji was silent, and Lin Bei smiled and said, "Master, is the school finished?"

"Never." Bian Ji said loudly.

Lin Bei was overjoyed, the old man was even more tempered than himself, "Okay, don't be angry. I was just joking with the master."

"My lord wants to make the students unrighteous..." Bian Ji said loudly again.

"Uh, I'm not afraid of you. What are you afraid of? Alright. Tell me, how is the school doing now?"

Bian Ji also knew that it shouldn't be too much, Lord Dragon God has already paid for the gift twice, "Now the school is more than half completed, and it should be completed in ten days or so."

"The master has worked hard, by the way. The people of the Huang family are still coming to Wanghai City?"

An Zhong said directly: "I'm afraid that within this year, members of the Huang family won't be able to come and watch the sea."

"Why, could it be that something happened in Xiangyang City?"

"Indeed, now that Sun Jian and Liu Biao are facing each other in Xiangyang City, a big battle is about to start. Yuan Shao of the Yuan family also seems to be interested in Xiangyang. Sun Jian is weak, so he will definitely close the gates of the city so that no one can come out."

"With Sun Jian's strength, Liu Biao shouldn't be able to beat him, right?" Lin Bei asked suspiciously.

Of course, Lin Bei is also familiar with Sun Jian. This is also a famous historical figure. In the Three Kingdoms where famous generals came out in large numbers, Sun Jian can be regarded as a strong general, and Sun Jian’s reputation has a bonus. His bonus comes from his two sons, one is the little overlord Sun Ce, and the other is the founding emperor of Soochow Sun Quan, Sun Quan may be young now, but Sun Ce should grow up. This little overlord is stronger than Sun Jian, and Lin Bei doesn't know much about Liu Biao, so Lin Bei is more optimistic about Sun Jian. The reason is that Sun Jian is comparable to Liu Biao. more famous.

Bian Ji shook his head and said: "My lord, that's not true. Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. According to Jingzhou, he ruled the people with benevolence. The last time he was caught off guard by Sun Jian. This time he came prepared. The Cai family is a powerful family, but the Cai family is in Xiangyang City, from the students' point of view, Sun Jian will definitely lose in this battle."

"The Cai family? Are there any famous people?" Lin Bei thought about it carefully, but he had no impression of the Cai family at all, and then he was shocked: "Cai Yong, a great scholar in the world?"

If this Cai family is Cai Yong's family, it would be really awesome. Lin Bei said that he was a little stunned.

"However, Mr. Bo Jie's Cai family is a branch of the Xiangyang Cai family, and the main family is the Xiangyang Cai family, my lord. Even Huang Gong's wife is also from the Cai family." Bian Ji said affirmatively: "And Liu Biao's wife is also a daughter of the Huang family, so it is counted. Come to think of it, Huang Gong and Liu Biao are still close friends, so it is fine for Sun Jian to occupy other cities, but he cannot occupy Xiangyang City."

Lin Beixin said that's the case, Bian Ji's analysis is quite reasonable, the aristocratic family is very influential now, and Sun Jian has no courage to touch the aristocratic family in Xiangyang City, so if Liu Biao comes again, the aristocratic family in Xiangyang City is likely to turn against the water , Sun Jian suffered the enemy from the back and the back, which is indeed quite embarrassing.

But even Cai Yong is a branch family of the Cai family in Xiangyang. This Cai family is too fierce. Is there any famous person surnamed Cai in Xiangyang City?Lin Bei thought about it for a long time, and he really remembered a guy, what kind of Caimao did he seem to be called?Or Cai Mao?

"Oh, I know this person." Thinking of this name, Lin Bei finally had the impression, wasn't this the victim of the bitter trick of the Battle of Chibi?Zhou Yu and Huang Gai resorted to bitter tricks. Cai Mao was misunderstood by Cao Cao and finally killed by Cao Cao. He was a rather sad character. He also attaches great importance to it, so he will be killed by design, and from this point of view, he should be regarded as a very remarkable character."

Zhou Yu was very good in the Three Kingdoms period. For a while, Yu Liang was talking about Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, and Cai Mao was even afraid of Zhou Yu, so even if he was not famous, Lin Bei should pay attention to this person, but it would be difficult to subdue this Cai Mao. Others are from aristocratic families .

"The Cai family, the Huang family, and Liu Biao are all related by marriage. The Cai family should be working for Liu Biao now, and the Huang family is probably only a marginal figure. Liu Biao should not pay much attention to it. That's why Huang Chengyan defected to Wanghai City. I don't know. With Huang Chengyan's reputation, can he attract some talents from the Cai family, but I'm afraid it's not enough."

Thinking of this, Lin Bei said, "Master, regardless of whether anyone from the Huang family will come after the school is completed, we still have to teach what needs to be taught. When the time comes, we will first accept some people to study in the school. As for the standards for these people, they must be under the age of twelve." The children are given priority, and if you are an adult, you have to be quick-witted, you are a teacher, be honest, and you can teach students when you have time, and let Yueying also go there a few times when you have time."

"My lord, I'll go too?" An Zhong was surprised, and then smiled wryly.

"What's wrong? You can't?"

"Okay, since adults are not afraid that I will mislead your children, then I will bite the bullet and teach."

Lin Bei's black line, Bian Ji smiled and said: "My lord, in fact, you can also go to the school to teach the students to show your favor. I think the students will be very enthusiastic."

"There's no need to educate people, but I can be an honorary principal or something." Lin Bei laughed. Lin Bei couldn't do it even if he wanted to be a serious teacher. At most, he could only hit the students' palms...

Chapter 274 Currency

Lord Dragon God is back, this must be Wanghai City's number one happy event.

Because the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, according to Chinese traditional customs, it is necessary to pay New Year greetings to each other, and Lord Dragon God is undoubtedly the first choice to be worshiped. Many, afraid that they would not be able to make it by themselves, so they rushed to the City Lord's Mansion that night to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Bei.

"It's about to celebrate the New Year?" Lin Bei, Bian Ji and the others had just finished eating and were digesting food in the yard. Lin Bei was surprised when he heard the sergeant report that common people came to pay New Year's greetings.

"First worship the gods of heaven and earth, second worship the true shadow of the ancestors, and then worship the elders of the high hall. The adults are the dragon gods in the sky, and the common people will naturally come to pay respects. Although it is a bit too early, but now that the young year has passed, it is still feasible." Bian Ji laughed. road.

"But I haven't prepared anything, I have to give some red envelopes or something."

"My lord, the sincerity of the common people is not something that can be weighed by such vulgar things. As long as the lord accepts it, it is a kindness." Bian Ji said seriously.

With the increasing prosperity of Wanghai City, as the spiritual leader and actual power holder of Wanghai City, Bian Ji's words are indeed the truth, which is just like the sentence describing the emperor: the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, the dragon god To be able to accept the common people's visit is to look down on the common people, to give the common people face, and to give the common people red envelopes?Don't think too nicely.

Although Lin Bei felt that this was not very good, but for a while he really had nothing to offer, money?Wanghai City doesn't have much iron money now, so give me something else?Small jewelry like jade?There are too many people looking at the sea. Although Lin Bei has collected some jades, these jades are too precious to be taken out casually, so Lin Bei has no choice but to follow Bian Ji's advice.
