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

Liu Tan felt that these people really didn't have big brains when they should have big brains, and they didn't know where to go when they shouldn't be big.

He looked at Li Xi and said: "You don't have to worry, I have already used this thing to blow up Qilan to the sky, and by the way, blow up two ports in Cochin Kingdom."

Li Xi only came back to his senses at this time, and deeply felt that he was probably blown out of his mind by black powder just now.

However, he was still a little worried and said, "But... I'm afraid it won't work well this time."

Liu Tan said: "This thing, the greater the dose, the more powerful it will be, and the lower the dose, the less powerful it will be. However, this requires experimentation, so I will let you see if you have a preparation first. Use it if you can, and forget it if you don't."

After Li Xi came back to his senses, he felt a little itchy after confirming that Yong Lei was fine.

It's one thing to be worried, but it's another thing to have such a big killer in your hand and not be able to use it. Don't you feel aggrieved?

He thought seriously and said, "Anyway, we still have time, so we can explore a little bit."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows, sneered, and said, no one can resist the temptation of hot weapons.

Especially for these generals, if they go to other countries to fight, everyone may hesitate, but to fight in their own territory, of course, it is best to fight quickly.

As for whether Liaodong County will be in ruins after the battle, Liu Tan is not worried at all. Judging from the situation in Liaoxi County, Liaodong County will not be much better. It was destroyed and rebuilt there.

It's just that this idea can't be said, and if it is said, some people will think that he is going to fight.

Liu Tan drove Li Xi back to sleep, after all they had to go to Guangyang tomorrow.

The distance between Liaodong County and Guangyang County is not very close, because you have to walk half a circle around the bay. If you walk from the sea, it will be closer. Come here, and then send someone over to let the boat come over when you go back. This is not enough trouble.

It's better to go directly by car. As for riding a horse, as long as it's not on a hurry, Liu Tan usually doesn't choose to ride a horse. Not to mention it's too tiring and easy to get injured.

When Li Kangcheng received the news that the King of the North was coming, he was in conflict.

He has already received the news that Liaoxi County is about to have a new county town. It is said that the new township basically follows the plan of Shuofang City, but it is smaller than Shuofang City and the buildings are also shorter.

But this is already very good. Li Kangcheng was also a tourist in Shuofang City at the beginning. When he arrived in Shuofang City, he only took a look at the city wall and was shocked. After arriving in the inner city, he felt even more dazzled.

He has never been to Chang'an, but as far as he heard, even Chang'an is slightly better than Shuofang City in terms of population and prosperity, and it is said that it is not as good as Shuofang City in terms of clean-up.

It's not that he didn't think about how good his own county could be like Shuofang City, but he just thought about it, he has no money.

Li Kangcheng is not considered a corrupt official, and occasionally raises a little tax, but he never drives the people to a dead end, but Guangyang County has nothing to do with it.

In fact, Guangyang used to belong to Guangyang Kingdom, but after the country was abolished, he was able to pick up the position of governor of Guangyang County, otherwise... the person who governs here should be the Prime Minister of Guangyang Kingdom.

Li Kangcheng didn't have any great skills, so naturally he couldn't lead Guangyang County to become rich.

So this time when Liu talked, on the one hand, he hoped that the other party could also get him a new city, and on the other hand, he was also a little worried that the other party would make trouble for him.

At this moment, Li Kangcheng regretted it very much. He knew that he should not have tested the bottom line of the King of the Northern Realm.

Liu Tan didn't want to embarrass Li Kangcheng, he just wanted to see Li Kangcheng's excitement.

After the meeting, after Li Kangcheng saluted, Liu Tan smiled and said, "Before you said that you have some relationship with Li Xi, it just so happened that Li Xi was in charge of leading the army to pacify Liaodong County this time, so I brought him here today. You... let's talk about the old days."

Fortunately, Liu Tan wasn't that wicked. He swallowed the word "grandfather and grandson" out of respect for Li Xi.

Li Xi stood aside and looked at Li Kangcheng coldly.

Although he is unreliable in front of Liu Tan, he is quite capable of bluffing people when he really goes outside. After all, he is a real leader who has fought in battles, and the evil spirit on his body can overwhelm Li Kangcheng. angry.

Li Kangcheng's complexion turned pale. He was just a frail man, at most he knew how to defend himself with swordsmanship. How could he compare to someone like Li Xi who had licked blood from the edge of a knife?

He immediately took out a bamboo slip and stood in front of him: "I never said nonsense, there is a family tree to prove it!"

Liu Tan: ...

Well, before Li Xi said that if he really wants to talk about seniority, he can only check the genealogy, but he really brought the genealogy.

Li Xi asked blankly: "This is your family tree, and you don't have mine, how can you tell?"

Li Kangcheng carefully apologized and said with a smile: "General Li has made great achievements in attacking the Xiongnu in the north. Although my Li family in Guangyang has separated from the general's clan, but after all, there are some origins, so I tried every means to find out. Only then did I know."

Li Xi reckoned that his admiration was all fake, and he probably thought that if he had the opportunity to go to Chang'an in the future, he would be able to get some care with a little bit of love.

Li Xi has encountered many such things, and he didn't bother to share knowledge with Li Kangcheng, so he just said lightly: "Since the sect has been divided, don't mention these anymore."

Li Kangcheng nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, that's right, no matter what I do, I don't dare to take it too seriously, and I ask General Li to think that I am young and open-minded, so don't be as knowledgeable as I am."

Liu Tan: ...

Young people who are almost 40 years old, your age has passed the average life expectancy of the Han people, and you are still young.

However, neither Liu Tan nor Li Xi wanted to entangle this matter with him.

Li Xi didn't want to have the same knowledge as him at all. The reason why he cooperated with Liu Tan was just to take the opportunity to beat him. The conduct of the magistrate of Yangjun is very important.

According to Li Xi's idea, it's better to just change to an obedient one.

It's just that Liu Tan has his own concerns. First of all, he can't guarantee that those who come up will be obedient.

Well, the officials of the northern border country must be obedient, but the problem is that it is impossible for Liu Tan to transfer them to Yan country, and the northern border country is also short of people.

The second is that Li Kangcheng has minor problems, but not many major problems. At least in Liu Tan's view, he has no major bad deeds.

As for things like buying and selling shops at low prices, to be honest, compared to the poor deeds of the sheriff of Pinggang County, this is nothing. After all, he just suppressed the price, and he didn't suppress it too hard, leaving a way for the other party to survive. , the family did not kill anyone.

Such officials are rare these days.

Therefore, Li Kangcheng's reputation in Guangyang County is not bad, and another person may not be better than him.

Seeing that the other party has become extremely honest now, he has already been beaten up to be honest. If this is the case, it is better to do this first, and then talk about it if it is impossible.

Liu Tan is not afraid at all now, anyway, there is no one he can't deal with.

Li Kangcheng accompanied Liu Tan very carefully all the way, introducing him to various situations in Guangyang County.

It has to be said that the county city of Guangyang County is actually much stronger than that of Liaoxi County. After all, this used to be Guangyang Country, and the county city was the capital of the king back then, no matter how bad it is, there is a limit.

Li Kangcheng took Liu Tan all the way to the Guangyang Palace. Although the Guangyang Kingdom had been eliminated and the Guangyang King had long since disappeared, the Guangyang Palace was still there.

Compared with Yanwangfu, Guangyangwangfu is a little less luxurious, but in fact, things like flowers, plants, trees, pavilions, towers and pavilions are better than Liu Tan's own Wangfu. As for the decoration... What surprised him was that there were some .

Liu Tan turned to look at Li Kangcheng: "These are all yours?"

Li Kangcheng immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, these are all from the treasury."

When the Guangyang Kingdom was abolished, if there were no sons to inherit the inheritance of King Guangyang, it would naturally belong to the local government, and the government had thought about realizing these things.

It’s just that in a small place like theirs, no one can afford or dare to buy those luxurious furnishings, basically no one is qualified to use them, so they can only be left in the warehouse to eat ashes.

Every time Li Kangcheng was short of money, he would run to sigh at these things in the treasury.

It's just that now he is lucky to have these things, at least they can be used to entertain the King of the Northern Realm. Once His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm is happy, maybe he can give him some pointers, and Guangyang County might have a chance.

Liu Tan walked around a bit surprised: "These things can't be fixed in a day, right? Is it true that the Guangyang Palace has been under maintenance for so long?"

Li Kangcheng immediately said: "Of course not, it's just some small thoughts of the minister. I want to ask Your Highness to come and have a look after His Highness settles down. Guangyang County is still very good in summer."

Liu Tan suddenly understood Li Kangcheng's careful thinking, and couldn't help but patted Li Kangcheng's shoulder with a smile: "Smart."

Knowing how to adjust the route after being beaten can indeed be called smart, and he is not afraid that the people below will have small thoughts, and everyone will be really stupid but exhausted.

Li Kangcheng is indeed able to bend and stretch, at least in terms of serving Liu Tan, Li Kangcheng is more careful than others.

Although Liu Tan didn't need it, he wouldn't refuse either.

What surprised him the most was that Li Kangcheng actually had a new map here!

He didn't have much hope for all the county guards in the country of Yan, and he planned to ask Li Kangcheng to send someone to draw a map first. Don't worry about other places. First, draw a map of the seaside. He really wants to find a way to choose a place to go. Build a deep-water port.

It turned out that Li Kangcheng had already fixed everything.

Liu Tan is convinced that Li Kangcheng is probably a bit self-motivated.

After glancing at the map, he circled a place and said to Li Xi, "Build here."

Li Xi knew at a glance that Liu Tan should have had an idea long ago, so he couldn't help asking: "Why did Your Highness choose this place?"

Liu Tan said with an inscrutable expression: "Don't ask, asking is intuition."

Li Xi: ...

Liu Tan acted as if he didn't see Li Xi's expression, what else would he say?Said that he remembered the location of Tianjin Port in later generations?In fact, as far as he knows, the more famous ports in this area include Tianjin Port, Tangshan Port, and Qinhuangdao Port.

But that will be discussed later, what he needs to do now is to build Guangyang Port.

He didn't say the reason, so Li Xi didn't ask any more questions, but Li Kangcheng scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. Is it a ship port? What will it be built for?”

Liu Tan said, "Train the navy."

Li Kangcheng was stunned for a moment. He had heard that Qi State was building a port in order to communicate with other countries by sea.

In Chang'an, Liu Che meant that this matter must be taken seriously.

But when the news reached Li Kangcheng, it turned into a national effort to do this. Li Kangcheng was very excited when he heard that the port was going to be built, thinking that his place was also selected as a part of shipping.

Didn't you expect that it was only used for training the navy?

But he changed his mind, no matter what he did, anyway, as long as the project is done, manpower must be needed. You must know that Li Kangcheng was a little moved by the wages paid to the hired laborers in Liaoxi County, let alone the people who got the news. They are gone.

It's a pity that it's stricter there, and priority is given to the locals of Liaoxi County. Others used to have to queue first, and they might not be able to get in line. Yes, if they are not expropriated, they will lose money if they do not make money.

Now that the King of the North has gone to Guangyang County to build a port, it will definitely require a lot of manpower.

Li Kangcheng became happy again in an instant and immediately said: "If you have something to do, just ask, I will do my best."

In fact, there is no need for Liu Tan to order this kind of thing. The people he brought are all used to doing engineering. Although the construction of a port is different from others, many aspects of overall planning are similar. He handed over the matter to others, and then ran to the beach with Li Xi.

The weather in the Bohai Bay area is actually pretty good, and the temperature here is stronger than that in Liaoxi County. Liu Tan came here to see the sea on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was thinking about whether he could build a sea paradise here. Yes, I will give it to his father for vacation later.

Originally, Qinhuangdao had always been a holiday resort for the Queen, and there was also the entrance to the sea where Emperor Qinhuang begged for immortals. Presumably Liu Che would be interested in this place.

It's a pity that Qinhuangdao is still a combination of several small fishing villages. The famous Beidaihe and Gold Coast in later generations are still very deserted. Soldiers stationed here.

I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to develop this place. Liu Tan turned off those thoughts after walking around. Let's start with Yan Guo first. First of all, the road here is more potholed than the cement road. I couldn't bear to let Liu Che come over.

Liu Tan went back to the Guangyang Palace after a stroll, and was going to deal with things first. Li Xi had nothing to do before the port was built, so he followed him like a guard.

After approving the paperwork in his hand, Liu Tan said to Li Xi: "Now you need to do three things. The first is to bring people to experiment with black powder to see if you can train a blaster, which is to configure the gunpowder according to your needs. As for the people who choose the place to explode, the second thing is the construction of the deep-water port, you should keep an eye on some, and the third thing is... find a way to send people to Liaodong County to understand the current situation, if it is possible to draw the latest map is the best OK."

Liu Tan once thought that the maps of the entire Han Dynasty had been surveyed and drawn with the latest methods, but he did not expect that the maps of Yan Kingdom had not been updated except for Guangyang County.

He reckoned that many vassal states may not have been replaced. After all, the ownership of those vassal states is difficult to say. The state ministers are responsible to the court, but the court generally does not seem to have high requirements for these state ministers.

Anyway, now he has nowhere to start with the crude map of Liaodong County.

Li Xi is also not used to it. Since he arrived in the Western Regions, all he has seen is the latest map. Thinking about how many years have passed, he is not used to this kind of map before.

Li Xi nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never dare to slack off."

When Liu Tan wanted to say something, he saw the little eunuch at the door standing outside with a man dressed as a scout. Li Xi immediately walked over and asked a few words.

When he came back, Liu Tan saw his serious expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Li Xi said with a serious expression, "Your Highness, I just got the news that the Wuhuan Boxi clan massacred civilians after occupying Liaodong County. Now there are almost... none of the people there."
