Chapter 244 New Road

"This senior year is so brave." Wang Kuang smiled and cursed, but did not say that he would punish the senior year. Since he had arranged a matter with Huang Er for Mrs. Zhu, it would be no big deal to marry a Huang family maid in the senior year. Not only can he not punish him, but he would rather hold a wedding for him in a grand manner and set an example: You all saw it, you can find a wife by yourself, that is your ability, especially a woman as beautiful as Minglan, who can get on the bus first and then buy a ticket. But hurry up and get it done. I will give you a grand and lively event in the little boss.

There are many bachelors under Wang Kuang, Sun Er and Li Dadan are all bachelors, and most of the guys are bachelors; Chen Da and others are mostly bachelors, and only those two later joined. They married at home, otherwise they would not have been reluctant to stay at the beginning and wanted to go home to hug the wife. Wang Kuang is to cheer them up and cheer them up, and don’t be speechless when you see the beautiful lady all day long, and you should be bold and pursue them.

If they could not find a woman in the Tang Dynasty, under such a low defense between men and women, they might as well go all to buy tofu and kill him. [bsp;    But it is not for the sake of his wife, but for the sake of him being asked for help, he would still be punished to take her home without any investigation. There are not many people who are staring at him now, and most of them are in Chang'an, but they will definitely be indispensable for those who are staring at him in the future. They should be like those who are like the senior high school, and they will take them home when they see women, which is easy to take advantage of loopholes and put people in.

It is the end of recent years. The senior year of high school took Minglan, and he asked Huang Er to send a message. This kid is usually a slick guy and is also a weird guy. He always sings with Sun Er, just like a joke in crosstalk. Their fight can often cause diners to laugh. But the senior year of high school is like a big word, and he can't recognize his words, but he can't recognize them.

He asked Huang Er to bring a message, but was afraid that the little boss would not understand what he meant, so he even drew a sedan chair on a piece of paper. Wang Kuang naturally understood that he was planning to get married in the third year of high school, not a concubine.

In order to get more contact with Zhu Si Lady, Wang Kuang asked Sun Er to arrange for him to take over Li Dadan's position. Huang Er is the housekeeper in the Huang family, and he is a very heavy-weight one. This is also the one who follows Huang Jinyuan. If he is in Changxi, he will be the housekeeper of the entire family. Naturally, there is no doubt about his ability to do business. The position of Li Dadan is the most appropriate, and he is even a little embarrassed, but it is just like a mountain and is temporary, so he arranged it like this.

Li Dadan was sent to the Huang family in Changxi. His task was to examine the output of sword clams and see if anyone ate kelp now. Wang Kuang didn’t know when kelp started to be on the dining table, but one thing is certain. Even if someone ate it, it was still very small, because in the sea now, there were a lot of big fish, so who would eat kelp? As for other vegetables, there were also many vegetable fields, so just plant them in front of the house and behind the house.

Therefore, Li Dadan's task is not difficult. If there are sword clams at this time, then hurry up and pull a cart back. Wang Kuang has already explained how to change water on the road and how to ensure survival rate. Another thing is to ask the Huang family to help pick up some kelp, wash it and tie it up and dry it. The kelp is very easy to dry. Not to mention that there is a sun, even if it is blown by the wind for a day, it will be frigid. From then on, Li Dadan will be responsible for this work for the time being. After the matter between Huang Er and Zhu Si Niang is settled or not, he will come back.

The "painted letter" brought by the senior year also made Wang Kuang want to literate the rich and his own people, not asking them to write articles or anything else, but just asking them to understand ordinary letters. Otherwise, there are not many people who know literacy and will be assigned tasks in the future, and it is difficult to choose people. Of course, it is best to let Master Liu come to teach, but it is not realistic. Master Liu was satisfied with the official position and was very interested in everyone's proposals for learning. Now he is going to find someone to raise funds all over the world. Although the money provided by the Evaluation Bureau is enough, Master Liu said that since this is a good deed, he should make everyone work hard to show the current emperor's achievements in education.

There are still a few old scholars in Jian'an who failed many tests. Mr. Liu was originally one of them. Now that he became an official, he set an example for everyone else. Look, don't care what you know, as long as the little boss asks him to do it, then roll up his sleeves and do it. Maybe one day he will fall into the position of the official position out of thin air? Therefore, after Wang Kuang asked someone to post a post to find a gentleman at Fulai Inn, all of these people came. This said that there was no need to keep the training, and that said that there was no need to be responsible for even food and accommodation, and he just wanted to help the little boss do something.

So it was decided. Starting from the opening of the inn next year, after the closing at night, these teachers will take turns to give the inn a literacy class for an hour. Those who can read a hundred words will have a salary increase of 100%, those who read 500 words will have a salary increase of 20%, and those who read 100% will have a salary increase of 30%, and those who can read 100% will have a salary increase of 30% and a thousand words will of course have the highest reward, that is, those who can write an article independently. Regardless of whether you are not correct in the article or not, as long as you write it smoothly, you will double the salary and arrange a new position for you depending on the quality of the text.

This regulation is like a drop of water splashing into a hot oil pan, which suddenly touches all of a sudden. Not to mention the increase in wages, it is not just that the literacy is not increased. Those who can read are already very respected. As the saying goes, everything is inferior. Only those who can read high and read literacy are not only at home, but also in society, have a high status and are respected. Now there are rewards for processing money, so why don’t you study closely?

Among them, Sun Er was the most clever one. He was the person who was responsible for registering the list of teachers and doing this matter. He used this convenience to find a master in private early and started learning it first. Originally, he went to a private school for one year with the support of Manager Sun in his early years and could recognize some words. Although he couldn't write, there was still no problem reading. As long as it was not an unconventional word or the kind of written language, he could basically understand the meaning.

This is amazing? After learning secretly for two days, Sun Er was discovered by the rest of the inn, so he immediately learned everything and went to find someone to learn first. After Wang Kuang knew about it, he teased Sun Er: "What's wrong? I want to climb another step, but can I beat Manager Sun?"

"Isn't it what Xiaodong said? The guy who doesn't want to be a shopkeeper is not a good guy, he just wants to be a shopkeeper." Sun Er smiled with a shy face. In fact, his current identity is already a shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of Jian'an Fulai Inn, but he is very grateful and thinks he can climb again and live the addiction to being a shopkeeper.

Wang Kuang was not left behind in the senior year of high school, and sent someone to inform him that the people he brought and those who would be sent to Shoushan Village in the future would be implemented. As for the Master, he would go to the senior year of high school, or ask Huang Jinyuan to recommend one or two reliable people.

At the end of the year, Wang Kuang began to get busy again because many things need to be done by manpower, especially public utilities, which require a large number of manpower, such as public libraries, universities to be built, etc. However, the labor force is not enough, so Wang Kuang cannot be allowed to do it during the busy farming period, so he can only wait until the autumn harvest every year to before spring plowing.

The city wall will not be completed until the end of next year. This project is huge, and Wang Kuang doesn't expect it to be completed in a few months. Anyway, at least for a hundred years, there will be no chaos in the construction of the city. The city wall is not urgently needed, but considering the stability of people, it is necessary, but it doesn't need to be built so quickly. Besides, the old city wall will not be demolished until the new city wall is built. There are not many residents in the new city area now, mainly those poor households who originally lived by the stream. Therefore, as long as you set up a wooden fence on the unbuilt city wall and send someone to patrol and prevent the attack of wild animals.

Jian'an is surrounded by mountains, and there are many tigers and leopards on the mountain. Wang Kuang remembers that when he was young, it was probably the 1980s. He was still in elementary school, and someone caught a golden leopard about the size of a dog on the mountain. Moreover, the South China tiger was still prosperous at this time. Sometimes in the city, you can hear the roar of tigers coming from the distant mountains in the middle of the night.

There is another thing that Wang Kuang needs to plan this year, and it is very important.

Fatty Li's appearance sounded a wake-up call to Wang Kuang. Now Jian'an goes to Chang'an and Jianghuai to go to the Xujiang road, and he has to pass through Fatty Li's fiefdom. This is very unsafe. Fatty Li is sinister. Although the poisoning incident was not instructed by Fatty Li, Wang Kuang definitely does not doubt it, and he also contributed to the fire.

Therefore, if Jian'an only has such a way to the Central Plains, then Fatty Li may have sent someone to intercept his things after Wang Kuang broke up with him in the end, and there is no need to be in his fiefdom. As long as you enter his fiefdom, he sends someone to follow him and then take action after going out. On the surface, it has nothing to do with Fat Li, or if he instructs local checkpoints and deliberately makes things difficult, it is also a problem.

So Wang Kuang was preparing to open another road. He spent a week in his later generations to accompany his boss around Jiangxi and knew that the mouth of the river in Shangrao was Jianzhou, Tingzhou and Fuzhou, which had been in the Central Plains since the Song Dynasty, and was an important town on the ancient tea ceremony. Since this road could be opened in the Song Dynasty, it should be possible now.

Hekou, now the location of Qianshan (pronounced Yangshan), did not have a county in the Tang Dynasty. It was a small village in Raozhou. Starting from Jianzhou and crossing the Wuyi Mountains through Chong'an (now Wuyi Mountain), the road would not be so difficult to walk. Then, when you reach the Hekou, you will get the Xinshui River and enter Poyang Lake, and then you will go straight into the river. If you want to go to Chang'an, go west, and if you want to go to Jianghuai, go east. It can be said that if this road is opened, the journey to Chang'an will be at least one-third closer.

In the past, when I went to Chang'an, I had to go northeast to Jinling, and then change the waterway to the southwest. It can be said that Jian'an, Jinling and Jiujiang formed an acute triangle, and from Jian'an to Jiujiang is the shortest side, Jian'an to Jinling, Jinling to Jiujiang are all long side. If this new road is opened, it will directly go to the shortest side. Not only will the time on the road be saved a lot, but the manpower and material consumption will also be much less, especially for some goods with storage time limits. It can be said that along this new road, you will almost go straight to Chang'an, without any major bends.

The roads in Raozhou are all ready-made. Although they are not big official roads, the road conditions are still good. This may be related to the fact that Raozhou's own local roads to Chang'an and Central Plains were mostly chosen. The key now is naturally to open up the mountain roads in Jianzhou and expand the rugged paths that were previously into big official roads. However, for the time being, there is another road to choose, that is, the road from Raozhou to Tangxing was just built two years ago. Before the road in Chong'an, Jianning County (Wuyi Mountain belongs to Jianning County) is opened, you can take this road to Poyang Lake, which is also much closer than the road to Jinling, and there are already merchants walking this road.

As for Wang Kuang's preparation for pioneering such a path, except for Li Yesi who may have thought of many things and strongly supported it from that letter, others were not so enthusiastic, including Huang Liang. In their opinion, it was enough to take the road to Tang Xing Raozhou. There was no need to spend so much energy to open another path. It was to open a mountain, not to take the road from plains! And it was to open a mountain, not to open one. Although it was to open this path several hundred miles closer than from Tang Xing to Raozhou, the Engineering Commission was really too big. They were worried that the power of Jianzhou would really not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, they now have a blind admiration for Wang Kuang. Since the little boss said he wanted to open it and it was necessary, it must be necessary. Besides, since the little boss proposed to open it, he must have planned financial resources and other conditions. Therefore, this resolution was decided without much effort, and he strived to open this road within three years. Moreover, in these three years, except for the ongoing projects, if it is not necessary, no other major projects will be launched to ensure that the road can be completed as soon as possible.

Of course, Jianning County agrees with this project. Once this road is opened, the status and importance of Jianning in Jianzhou will rise sharply. Think about it, the entire Jianzhou, Tingzhou, Fuzhou and even further away all take Jianning County to the Central Plains. What a lively scene? Not to mention passing taxes, these are small heads, not much money, just people come and go. You have to stay in Jianning for a rest. You have to supplement the supplies. This is all money. If a merchant makes money, isn’t it equivalent to having a big source of tax revenue?

Then he rushed back to Jianning, and the county magistrate posted a notice everywhere, saying that the little Dong family was going to open the road and wanted to split Wuyi Mountain apart. As long as the road was completed, Jianning County would be much closer to the Central Plains in the future. If other counties and prefectures were going to Central Plains, they would also take this road.

The entire notice is written in an incitemental way, and it depicts a beautiful scenery for people. The tide of passenger flow and the mountain of goods flow, think about it, what can it bring to Jianning? Are you still worried that you can't sell the lotus seeds you planted? Are you still worried that there will be no customers to visit your shop? If you don't have any red worries, the road will be opened, and everything will be solved.

If the Jianning County Magistrate has finally been enlightened in the past two years, and no longer spend time waiting for retirement, the old man's combat power is stimulated, and the energy cannot be underestimated. After all, you must be promoted to one or two levels before retirement. You must always leave a brilliant mark in the genealogy, and you must always let the people remember such a county magistrate after they leave for a few years, right?

His actions seemed most normal in other places in Jianzhou. However, if they were in this position, they would be so excited and so hard under such prospects.

However, this action caused a chain reaction. When Raozhou heard that it was going to open the road here, no matter whether it was the end of the year, everyone was busy preparing New Year's goods. They summoned subordinate officials to discuss it all night and sent a letter to Huang Liang, saying that they were willing to send some places from the future corvee to support Jianning's road. The conditions were very simple, as long as Jianzhou was responsible for the food and accommodation of these laborers who were serving corvee.

This can be said to have solved the problem of insufficient labor in Jianzhou to a large extent. With the support of Raozhou, the road construction will be very fast and the task can be completed in advance to a large extent.

But Wang Kuang read the letter and smiled: "I want to behave myself when I get the cheaper. I want to make us owe them a favor. I don't need their help. The envoy replied that Jianzhou will solve the road to Jianzhou itself, but I don't believe it. If Your Majesty knows that we are going to open the way, will he be reluctant to send troops to help?"

Huang Liang saw Li Yesi's support for Wang Kuang to build the road, and thought to himself that with the support of General Li Zhen, the Ministry of War also supported him. After all, once this road is opened, Chang'an's control over the southeast coastal area will be stronger in the future. This is not only from a military perspective, but also a great benefit from political perspective. Your Majesty should be able to know this.

As a result, when Raozhou received a letter from Huang Liang, he became panicked because the old fox Huang Liang wrote down everything Wang Kuang said without missing a word. When the Raozhou officials saw it, Xuan Delang was angry? What's wrong? After the road was repaired, the tax and other increases would definitely increase, but if it was not as much as Xuan Delang's fingers, Xuan Delang was angry. Do we still want to get on the chariot of Jianzhou?

The result is naturally that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, officials in Raozhou were still talking about how to deal with it. In the end, they had to make a decision. They were responsible for labor service, and they were responsible for food and accommodation, and they had to pay a lot of money to support them. Not only that, they also planned to write a memorial to Chang'an and help Jianzhou say good things. For example, if this road is completed, neighboring prefectures and counties can help each other in the future. If there is an accident, they can delay time to the maximum extent.
