Chapter 2 Monument Site Selection

The air in the outskirts of Dongning Mansion is particularly sweet. A breeze blows through, and bursts of fragrance hit your nostrils, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Zheng Kezang strode across the farmland, walked quickly along the winding stream, and disappeared into the fields in a flash.

His father-in-law, Dongning's general envoy and bodyguard Mao Xing, and Shen Cheng followed closely behind.

I don’t know how long they walked, but Zheng Kezang and his party came to a wide flat land not far from Dongning Mansion. Zheng Kezang looked around with interest.

To build a wonder, the first step is of course to acquire land and select a location.

The area around Tainan was the earliest developed area on Yizhou Island. The terrain is mostly plains with thousands of miles of fertile fields, making it very suitable for farming development.

For Zheng Kezang, the first spectacle is particularly important, as it is related to his subsequent development and the first pot of gold, so he cannot be careless.

When choosing a location, you have to be careful.

Transportation in the seventeenth century was very inconvenient, especially in the newly developed Yizhou Island, which was fine with dirt roads.

Therefore, it cannot be too far from the residential area of ​​Dongning Prefecture, otherwise it will be inconvenient to dispatch civilian workers and transport materials, which will inevitably prolong the completion time of the wonder.

Before Chen Yonghua finished speaking, Zheng Kezang, like magic, took out a large stack of A4 drawings given by the system from his sleeve.

Zheng Kezang cannot afford to lose just the time he wasted on the road. Time is life now.

Suddenly, a pop-up window that only he could see popped up in front of Zheng Kezang:

【Build successfully.】

I asked at that time why we should be wary of Feng Xifan, my father's crony.

Later, as he said, under the influence of Feng Xifan and others, Ming and Zheng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty not long after.

Taizu and Grandpa told me that once the monument is built, it will become an important force in reviving the Ming Dynasty, and their power will be passed on to our soldiers through the monument.

Moreover, [Monument] sounds like a building with military bonuses, which is particularly important to the Ming Zheng Xiao court.

His merits are numerous, and he can be said to be the "Zhuge Wolong" of the Ming and Zheng dynasties. The prototype of "Chen Jinnan", the chief rudder of the Tiandihui in The Deer and the Cauldron, is Chen Yonghua.

"This paper is so ingenious that it is truly rare." Chen Yonghua couldn't help but admire it.

Also, due to the border relocation order implemented by the Qing government, prices on Yizhou Island increased, especially for cloth.

[Host, do you want to select this address?]

Zheng Kezang winked at the guards and motioned them to go to the other side for a break first, while he wanted to whisper to Chen Yonghua.

In addition, the people of Yizhou Island at that time could only boil seawater to make salt, so the quality of the salt produced was very poor.

For a moment, Zheng Kezang's coat sleeve suddenly sank, as if there were some extra items.

After the guards left, Zheng Kezang said solemnly: "Father-in-law, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Do you think these papers are from us or even the Qing Dynasty? They are sacred objects!"

They were very sad about the current situation in China and bluntly said that we are already at the most critical moment. If we don't think about changes, the last pure land of China will also fall.

Moreover, they told me that my father would definitely return from the Western Expedition with a huge defeat, so we must beware of Feng Xifan when he returns.

Moreover, he has outstanding talents. The cultural and educational system of Yizhou Island was almost built by him. Even the isolated and backward Gaoshan people were included in the educational system of Yizhou Island. He vigorously promoted Confucian culture and promoted the development of the island. The integration of different ethnic groups.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, I quickly raised my hand and took a sneak peek at what was inside my sleeve. I saw a stack of A4 paper inside my sleeve out of thin air.

As a conscientious "developer" in the 17th century, Zheng Kezang will definitely try his best to "deliver properties" to the system as soon as possible.

"I had a dream yesterday, in which the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty and my grandfather appeared."

Chen Yonghua was thoughtful.

"Father-in-law, the current situation is becoming more and more difficult. Please go back and immediately mobilize a group of civilians to erect a monument here to commemorate our Chinese heroes and boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians on the island."

They said that the secret cannot be revealed, but they can give me a little help. This stack of paper is a sacred object granted by Taizu and Grandpa.

Looking at the dense lines on the drawings, Chen Yonghua couldn't quite understand it, but he could roughly feel from these drawings that once the monument was built, it would definitely be a magnificent, beautiful and remarkable building.

"This is so amazing. This pile of A4 paper will be my weapon to open up the situation. Whether I can successfully deceive my father-in-law depends on them." Zheng Kezang murmured to himself.

Chen Yonghua felt warm in his heart. Although he was not sure whether Zheng Kezang's words were true or false, his son-in-law Zheng Kezang never made mistakes. At this moment, he chose to believe it.

Taking a deep breath to restrain his excitement, Zheng Kezang said loudly:

Chen Yonghua is a famous figure today. Whether it is Guo Xingye or his son Zheng Jing, they all listen to his opinions on military and state affairs.

But building such a wonder must be extremely expensive.

Please help me with this matter, father-in-law!" As he spoke, Zheng Kezang earnestly held Chen Yonghua's hand.

[Terrain entry successful.]

In order to improve the manufacturing process, Chen Yonghua introduced the method of leaching brine and drying salt. The process is roughly as follows: first, dig ditches near the salt fields to let seawater pour onto the sand to form salt soil. Then, the brine extracted from the salt soil is taken to the crystallization tank and dried in the sun.

Each grain of salt improves the quality of salt.

Mr. Chen carefully touched the drawings with his hands and looked at them repeatedly with his eyes shining.

"Qinshe, this stele is very majestic and extraordinary. I think that building this stele will definitely waste a lot of manpower and material resources. It is not suitable for large-scale construction at the moment, so let's put it aside first." Chen Yonghua said helplessly.

"What kind of stele? Let me see how many civilians need to be mobilized." Chen Yonghua said thoughtfully.

That’s right, this land has been chosen!

In Zheng Kezang's vision, in the future this open space will surround the monument to create his own military base.

In 1680, Chen Yonghua died of depression. Li Guangdi, who was the cabinet scholar of the Kangxi Dynasty at that time, believed that the reason why Ming and Zheng were able to hold on to the island for so long without being destroyed was due to Chen Yonghua's good management. As soon as he died, the broken ship of Ming and Zheng was attacked.

It will break.

"Your Highness Jianguo, you don't have to be like this. I will definitely help you with the construction of the monument. Please rest assured, Jianguo."

Chen Yonghua suggested that Zheng Jing bribe the Qing army's coastal defense generals to carry out smuggling, so that the goods could flow into Yizhou Island and stabilize prices.

Chen Yonghua was stunned when he saw this magical A4 paper. No matter how far he traveled, he had never seen paper with such good quality and pure white.

The hidden function of the system was triggered. Zheng Kezang was overjoyed. With a thought in his mind, he was madly sure [Yes].

【Wonderful modeling is under construction.】

【Yes or No】

After the confirmation is completed, the system sounds a "ding" sound:

[The monument construction drawings.pdf has been printed successfully, please host to receive it]

Zheng Kezang believes that in addition to the system, Chen Yonghua is also the key to revitalizing China. He must not be allowed to die young like in history. He was only 45 years old when he died, and he must work until he is 60 years old at least before retiring.

Heart diseases still need heart medicine, and everything can be done in time.

"Father-in-law, it's better sooner rather than later. Let's go back and arrange something." Zheng Kezang said seriously.

"Very good."
Chapter completed!
