I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Before Liu Tan came to Liaoxi County, he had already set his sights on the long coastline of Yan State.

No matter how the fishery is, and whether there are pearls or not, there is sea water.

Having seawater is basically equivalent to having salt. Liu Tan gave the method of drying salt to Princess Lichang before, but he didn't try it himself. In the final analysis, it was because the northern border country had no coastline. Now it was considered a chance, so he decided to use it more. Get a few saltworks, leave a few for Liu Ku, and keep the rest for yourself.

When Liu Ku grows up in the future and can become a qualified King of Yan, he will hand over all these salt farms to Liu Ku.

Anyway, whoever is short of money will not be short of money.

The sheriff of Liaoxi County immediately began to send people to the countryside to give lectures. This time period can be regarded as the slack time of the Yan State, and people should be recruited.

To be honest, after learning about the wages paid by Liu Tan, the sheriff of Liaoxi County wished that he would join the battle and build the city with him.

He also has the strength, after all, he also needs to cultivate the land by himself.

Yes, the sheriff of Liaoxi County is so hard-working. If he doesn't farm the land, he depends on his salary. It is estimated that his family will starve to death long ago.

After all, he loves the people very much, and never pays exorbitant taxes, and this place is poor, which leads to him having little money at all, and Liu Tan's wages make him a little jealous.

It's a pity that he has too many things to do as a sheriff, but it doesn't matter, he has sons, grandsons, and even the women in the family are very capable, and they can all go to work.

The construction of the entire city is required by the King of the North to be completed within two months, as long as it can meet the occupancy needs, and the rest can be done slowly.

They made more money in two months than they had planted in a year, much more!

There must be brave men under heavy rewards, not to mention just work, the people of Liaoxi County almost broke out with great enthusiasm and devoted themselves to the construction.

On the construction site, there is no need to eat, although they don’t need to live, but everyone is dying. The weather is not very cold now, and there is no problem with covering the sky and sitting on the ground.

Liu Tan actually had foreseen this point, after all, the northern border country had experienced exactly the same thing back then.

It's just that this time he is more calm, no matter what happens, he has a plan to deal with it, and he can even teach others.

And the person he taught was Dou Sibo.

Once again, Liu Tan was thankful that Huo Guang was the one who followed him to the northern border country. If Dou Sibo had been replaced, the two novices would probably have a lot of trouble.

Now Liu Tan is instructing Dou Sibo to do things a little bit, and Dou Sibo has gradually become able to cope with it from being in a hurry at the beginning.

Although Dou Sibo was not smart enough, he was careful enough. If he had no advantages at all, it would be impossible for Liu Che to photograph him and show him to Liu Tan. Otherwise, it would not be sending a helper, but an embarrassment to his son.

Dou Sibo worked conscientiously, but when he just got started, his Highness gave him another problem.

Liu Tan called him over and said, "I heard that even people from other counties come here to work?"

Dou Sibo immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely give priority to the people of Liaoxi County."

Liu Tan waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. Aren't the people everywhere the same? They are all people in the country of Yan, so you can't be too partial. I just suddenly remembered something. You can do other jobs by the way. For example, Dasuo Maangyue."

Dou Sibo:? ? ?

If the imperial court does not issue an order on this matter, what should they do?

Looking at Dou Sibo's expression, Liu Tan knew that he must have misunderstood something, so he said, "It's not that strict, but if someone signs up, they must check their name and place of origin."

Dou Sibo was a little embarrassed after hearing this: "It's easy to check the locals in Liaoxi County, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to communicate with other places."

"If it's inconvenient to come and go, you have to do it. Remember to publicize it properly. Even if you don't have a household registration, you won't be punished this time and you can get registered."

Dou Sibo was a little puzzled after hearing this: "No household registration?"

However, he just didn't understand it for a while, and after repeating it, he suddenly understood: "Your Highness said that there will be refugees?"

Liu Tan nodded: "There are many mountains in the country of Yan. Although the climate is not suitable, there should be some hunters living in the mountains. They may be tempted to work this time."

After all, it can make money. For some families, working for two months may not require too much effort for two years, which can be regarded as some wealth.

Dou Sibo once again bowed down: "Your Highness is indeed far-sighted, I can't wait."

Liu Tan smiled awkwardly. To be honest, he also suddenly remembered this matter.

He knew before that there was a shortage of people in Liaoxi County, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Whether he brought people here or the upcoming [-] troops, Liaoxi County could have sufficient manpower.

However, Liu Tan has now learned to make follow-up plans, anyway, he can't just focus on the present.

Then he thought that after the army left, wouldn't there be fewer people there?

His eyes were on the refugees, and as for attracting people from other places... Don't be kidding, the neighbor of Yan Kingdom is the Northern Border Kingdom, and the people in the Northern Border Kingdom live well, no matter how bad the climate over there is. It will be worse than Yan Guo.

Some people may come to work, but they will definitely not settle here.

The people in the rest of the country will not be poorer than the country of Yan, unless the country of Yan can become the same as the country in the north.

Well, now the northern border country is not easy to accept outsiders to register.

Anyway, these tasks are all smooth, and I will add some workload to Dou Sibo, so that he can familiarize himself with it in advance.

Now it is only a matter of one county, and the affairs of the entire Yan Kingdom are at a standstill. Dou Sibo can just take this opportunity to accumulate some experience and avoid being in a hurry in the future.

After leaving everything to Dou Sibo, Liu Tan also started busy with his own business - opening a saltworks.

Salt farms are not opened casually, you have to choose the right place, but Yanguo is not the same as Dangli or Jiaozhi. The coastline here belongs to the inland sea area. In addition, the climate is cold, and it will freeze when it is extremely cold in winter. Yes, no matter how much light there is, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, there may only be a few months in a year to dry salt, but it is almost the same. It is no problem to supply the salt of the entire Yan Kingdom.

If they open enough, they might even be able to supply the salt of the northern border country.

Although there are saline-alkali ponds in the northern border country, it only relieves part of the salt pressure.

This time, Liu talked about enclosing the land without any psychological burden—there are beaches or mud ponds on the seaside, and basically no mining will be produced in such places. If minerals can be found in such places, then he is really convinced.

It's a pity that this time he didn't enclose the land himself, but the governor of Liaoxi County specially encircled a part of the land and gave it to him after he knew that the king of the northern border was going to use the land by the sea.

This part of the land is actually a wasteland, but there are no fishing villages around, and the governor of Liaoxi County has repeatedly assured that no one will peep there.

Liu Tan couldn't help laughing. Although the governor of Liaoxi County didn't talk much, he still did things very well.

He gave the address directly to Wei Deng, and asked him to take a hundred elite groups to clear the place first, and then build some simple buildings so that everyone can live there.

At the same time, it is repeatedly emphasized that we must keep warm and have a leeward wind.

Liu Tan has never felt the sea breeze in Yan Kingdom in winter, but he also knows from hearsay these days that the sea breeze is still very strong.

Even if the salt field cannot produce much salt in winter, someone needs to be there to guard it, and Liu Tan also needs someone to investigate there to see where it is suitable for building a port.

Thinking of the construction of the port, Liu Tan couldn't help but glanced at the map again, and found that some places in Liaodong County and Liaoxi County were basically separated by the sea. In this case... Liu Tan couldn't help but want to leave By sea.

On land, Wuhuan's strength is good, and there must be some competition.

The most important thing is that what they are occupying now is their territory, and they may drive the people of Liaodong County to die. At that time, even if Liu Tan has something like black powder in his hands, his hands will be restrained.

Even if he wins the battle and kills so many of his own people, he is still a loser.

On the contrary, Wuhuan will be more confident.

It would be different if he took the sea route. Liu Tan is confident that his ship is the most advanced ship of this era. The most important thing is that he can land and attack from behind when the opponent is not prepared.

Liu Tan's heart was moved, and after sending people to investigate on the spot, he felt that there was something wrong, so he wrote a letter to Huo Guang, asking Mo Shi and the others to come over, and study how to build a deep-water port by the way.

However, there is no need for him to study such things as the deep-water port, because after he gave Sang Hongyang an idea before, Sang Hongyang started to start construction in this area.

Liu Tan didn't get involved in this matter, and he didn't know much about it. Maybe he could think of something when he got to the field, but the construction of deep-water ports, especially these days, doesn't require too much technology. Just enough to keep the boat anchored.

Before that, he heard that the Qi State had almost done the research and started construction - the biggest evidence was that the imperial court had bought a lot of cement from the Northern Border State.

When Liu Tan found out about this, he really couldn't laugh or cry. They didn't feel tired of transporting such a long distance from the northern border country to the Qi country.

At that time, he meant to let the imperial court build cement kilns in Qi, but Liu Che directly rejected his idea.

In Liu Che's words: "Do you want to pass on so much cement to future generations?"

Liu Tan: ...

He knew that Liu Che wanted him to make some money, but dear father, the Northern Borderland is different now, they don't need money anymore.

In any case, Liu Tan was finally able to ask his father for something——the blueprint for the construction of the deep-water port.

Although it may not be directly copied, but there are some references.

It's just that the blueprint of the deep-water port did not come, but the generals sent by Liu Che came with a hundred thousand troops.

He had never heard of who Liu Che chose to come here before, but he didn't care too much. Anyway, if he is obedient and cooperates, then this person will naturally be able to stay. If he is not obedient, then let him go back where he came from.

And judging from Dou Sibo, Liu Che shouldn't be cheating him.

It's just that when the general really arrived in Liaoxi County, it was still far beyond Liu Tan's expectations.
