Chapter 116: Steady development
The fiefdom of Prince Danyang is twenty miles outside Danyang City. Yunze did not bring everyone there. After all, there is no place to live there yet. The shacks outside the city can temporarily accommodate some people.
Yunze brought some young people with him. These people could go over and build residences first, and the subsequent work could only be carried out slowly.
By the time Yun Ze passed by, Liu Hu had already led a thousand city guards to cut down a lot of wood. Using these wood to build shacks, it was enough to build shacks for nearly ten thousand people.
Yunze selected a group of young people as leaders and assigned them the work of building shacks. He designated locations close to the mountains and forests to open up wasteland and build houses.
Even at night, Yunze still led everyone to work all night long. Time waited for no one, so he had to work overtime. After all, the number of victims in the subsequent disasters would increase.
If we can't give everyone a place to live and settle down for the time being, how can we allow them to work with peace of mind. Even if we want to improve everyone's living environment, that will happen later.
Even when it gets dark and there are torches lighting up the surroundings, everyone is working very hard, especially when they see shacks being built everywhere, everyone seems to see hope of survival.
During this period, Yunze asked Liu Hu to send nearly a hundred people back to the city gate and bring food to everyone. Everyone was busy all night.
By the next day, the shack that could accommodate almost 10,000 people was finally built, with living quarters, a kitchen and bathroom area dedicated to providing meals, and a sanitary area for everyone to urinate and defecate.
The entire slum area was well-proportioned and orderly. Seeing the newly built shack area, not only Liu Hu and other city guards were speechless, but even the nearly 4,000 young men were full of excitement.
Although it seems a bit crowded here, it is still a home for them. Everyone can see that Yunze really wants them to survive.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to build a residence for them with such care, and even stay with them all night long. Among the young and strong people, the first one knelt down, and the rest all knelt down.
"Sir, you are a living Bodhisattva...and our savior. From now on, we will never say a word about what you ask us to do!" The strong man in the lead looked to be only in his thirties, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Everyone, get up, there are still many things to do next... As long as you believe in me, I will definitely be able to let you live a good life! Everyone, take a rest first. I will go back and let people pick up your relatives. From now on, you will be here
Home!" General Yunze helped the man up and said to the others.
Everyone nodded gratefully. Yunze arranged for those who had been busy all night to go to bed. He also asked a thousand brothers from the city guard to go back to rest.
When Yunze returned to the city gate, he saw Hua Yue leading a dozen or so waiters who were preparing medicine. Bowls of soup were delivered to the sick victims.
When she saw Yunze, she nodded, but didn't say much to Yunze.
At this time, Yunze saw Song Ren coming up to him, and the motorcade behind him, which contained a lot of supplies, including quilts, pots, bowls and other tools.
Seeing Yunze's haggard expression, a look of concern appeared on his face.
"Master Yun, I heard that you didn't sleep at all last night. You should go back and get some sleep first. If you have any orders, tell me and I will help you do it!"
"Uncle Ren, find some people who can cook among the victims, organize them, and go to the fiefdom to open fire. In addition, if the victims here can move, move to the fiefdom first. I will come back in the afternoon!"
Yunze was definitely a little tired and needed to go back and take a nap. He still had to schedule his follow-up work arrangements.
Things over there have just begun, and everything is not on track yet.
Yunze also saw that there were still many victims gathering towards Danyang City. It was estimated that there would be thousands more victims today.
When they returned home, Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi were waiting anxiously at the door. When they saw Yunze, they breathed a sigh of relief and ran over. Su Qianmo, who had been standing beside them, also came over.
"Ms. sir, you haven't eaten yet. I'm going to heat up the food right away. You can take a break after eating. I've contacted several grain stores about the food, and I can load it up and send it over later."
Luo Yunniang walked towards the kitchen and turned back to Yun Ze.
She took over the matter of food for the victims, and Yunze did not refuse. It was time to train her.
"Well, I'll take a nap later. Qianmo, Yunxi and you will go there together. I'll be here in the afternoon!" Yunze nodded to Luo Yunniang and stroked her hair.
After eating, Yunze slept for two hours. When he returned to the fiefdom again, the young men who had worked last night had already gotten up, and they were spontaneously building a shack nearby.
After Yunze arrived, he took out half of his youth and started building a kiln nearby. The matter of burning bricks had to be put on the agenda first. At the current speed, it would be enough to build shacks with a thousand people.
The burning of bricks and cement cannot be delayed. There is limestone in nearby places, but we don't know yet whether there are coal mines.
However, Danyang City is rich in minerals. It is estimated that no one has discovered minerals such as coal mines. Even if they are discovered, no one knows the use of these things.
Yunze is not worried about letting others mine it. Coal mines can be found in Longtoushan, and Yunze believes that there must be coal mines nearby.
He arranged everyone's work, and went to look around the area himself. On the mountain about ten miles away from the fiefdom, he discovered a coal mine, and also discovered a limestone mine.
Yunze quickly sent people to mine, but as for the iron ore, no iron ore was found.
As the construction of the fiefdom began, Yunze made a huge initial investment, throwing in almost one hundred thousand taels of silver, which was all consumed in less than ten days.
But thankfully, the number of victims who came one after another has reached almost 50,000, of which nearly 20,000 are young and strong. With the participation of these people, all aspects of work have been accelerated.
Over the past ten days, the number of victims coming was getting smaller and smaller. It was estimated that only 60,000 victims would survive.
The first batch of cement and bricks has started to be fired and should be ready for production in about ten days. This time Yunze built fifty kilns. Almost all the mountainous land on this side of the land was occupied by the kiln factory.
As for those who can work, in addition to 20,000 young men and women, some women can also participate in brick-burning work. The remaining old, weak, women and children, even if they are temporarily unable to work, can still do some work within their capabilities.
The construction of the fiefdom is proceeding smoothly, and the matter regarding the imperial merchants in the city has also been settled. Due to the disaster, the Suibu matter was delayed for a few days.
But the royal merchants still fell on the Ye family, and the first batch of cloth has been shipped to the capital. The Ye family's six-color cloth business is getting better and better, with larger orders and demand exceeds supply. Ye Ziyan is asking Yunze, the fiefdom
When can the workshop here officially start operations?
Yunze is also anxious, but bricks and tiles cannot come out of the kiln just by telling them. Moreover, construction also takes time.
However, Yunze is not worried about these. Among these victims, Yunze has found many craftsmen, bricklayers, stonemasons, carpenters, etc. These craftsmen have been put together by Yunze and are ready to start building workshops at any time.
After about ten days, the bricks and tiles are out of the kiln, and the workshop can be built. Nearly a thousand craftsmen will work together to build it. In a few days, the needs of the weaving workshop should be completed.
Of course, the construction of the brewing workshop and other workshops will also be completed in a short period of time.
Not only was the cloth business booming, but the high-strength wine business was even more booming. Even if Luo Qingcen purchased several more wineries, he still couldn't meet the demand.
She also found Yunze, hoping to build several large breweries on the fiefdom.
As for perfume, soap and refined salt, many orders have been signed. Even if the goods are temporarily out of stock, those people are willing to wait. For fear of not getting the goods, they pay a deposit first and wait for the goods.
This situation makes Yunze very satisfied. As long as everything is completed in the fiefdom, the next period will be a period of rapid development.
While Yunze was developing, the three forces of Longtou Mountain, Weihu Mountain, and Tianlang Mountain were blocked in the mountains by the 3,000 people brought by Cheng Ying. Because of the Suibu Meeting, Cheng Ying never attacked the mountains.
In addition, the incident involving the Huang family occurred at the New Year's Eve Party, and the attack on Sanzhai was postponed again and again. This disaster made it impossible for Cheng Ying to send troops.
