Chapter 201: Pay homage to the soil and start construction!

An announcement made it clear to the world, and everyone knew Wang Kang's intentions.

To build the road, we still have to build it through Dongshan Mountain.

For a time, the entire Xinfeng County, and even the people in Yangzhou City were in an uproar!

As expected of Master Kang, if you don't take action, it's fine. If you do, it's a big deal.

Opening mountains and building roads is something no one dares to think about, but he not only dares to think about it, he also dares to do it!

I can’t even imagine how difficult it is and how much investment it requires.

Master Kang had been quiet for a few days, and then he started to spend money again, but compared with what he did before, it really pales into insignificance.

There is such a saying among the people.

The same is true for the urban residents of Xinfeng County. It turns out that Master Kang recruited people to do this. This is really shocking.

All the talk in the streets and alleys was about this matter.

"Master Kang, are you stupid? You are digging mountains and building roads? How many years will it take you to do this?"

"Who says otherwise? What can I do with this money? He is indeed a prodigal."

"He is also doing this to improve our Xinfeng County, and now this is the fiefdom of the Earl's Mansion. We are regarded as their citizens. It's okay to recruit us by force, but now they give us money. Isn't this good?"

"Work will start in three days, and my man is also going. He used to be a bricklayer, and his salary is higher than that of ordinary laborers."

"Yes, it doesn't matter, as long as you make money, that's fine!"

Everyone talked about the situation, Xinfeng County gathered all the eyes, and another three days passed like this!

In the early morning, groups of private soldiers from the Earl's Palace gathered towards Dongshan, including the city residents, because today was the day announced in the notice that road construction would begin.

To the west outside Xinfeng County, a high platform has been built on the flat ground, and the utensils used are piled next to it.

This is where construction begins.

Under the high platform were densely packed people, all of whom were migrant workers recruited for this road construction project.

Groups of soldiers from the Earl's Palace maintained order outside.

As the sun rose, Wang Kang, dressed in luxurious purple clothes, finally appeared surrounded by many of his men!

This was Wang Kangzhi's second public appearance from Xinfeng County. When he appeared, the entire audience was silent.

Wang Kang glanced below. Almost most of Xinfeng County was gathered here. It can be said that these are his citizens.

He knew that many people did not trust him and had no sense of belonging to the Earl's Palace, but it didn't matter, everything would change from today.

Wang Kang looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "My name is Wang Kang. I believe everyone has known me for so many days!"

In front of the high platform, there are several simple loudspeakers erected, which can make his voice louder and spread around!

"Xinfeng County is the fiefdom of my Earl's Mansion, and you are my citizens. Therefore, I have the obligation to change the predicament of Xinfeng County and let my citizens live a good life!"

This caused some fluctuations in the eyes of the city residents below.

At this moment, on Dongshan, somewhere near Xinfeng County, Dong Yiwu, Dong Qian and others were watching like this.

They could also hear Wang Kang's voice.

Dong Yiwu smiled disdainfully and said, "That's nice to say. If you let it out, let's see how he ends up!"

Others also sneered.

Wang Kang continued: "Xinfeng County is surrounded by mountains and has no roads. It has basically no contact with the outside world. Therefore, I want to build roads. If I want to get rich, I must build roads first. This is not an empty talk!"

"I know that many people are not optimistic about it, and many people are laughing and mocking it, but I tell you!"

"I dare to do things that others dare not do, and I can do things that others cannot do!"

"And all you have to do is follow me and create miracles with me!"

Wang Kang's high-spirited voice spread throughout the country, making the citizens of the city feel a little excited.

"I know you are all wondering how much it will cost to open a mountain and build a road. Can you get the money after you have done the work?"

"Will I exploit you?"

Wang Kang looked around and said solemnly: "Now I can tell you no, I can give you a guarantee now!"

"As long as you are not lazy or sneaky, then I can assure you that as long as you put in the effort, you will gain something!"

"As long as you work hard, your days will be prosperous day by day!"

At this moment, people's eyes have become hot.

Xinfeng County is really too poor, closed and backward, and no one wants to change it!

"In front of you is the continuous Dongshan Mountain, which is also blocking the development of Xinfeng County," Wang Kang pointed out.

"Today, I will conquer it, I will open mountains and build roads, and revitalize the entire Xinfeng County, and this is just the first step in my construction of Xinfeng County!"

"I name this road the Miracle Road!"

"Now I ask you, do you have the confidence to create miracles with me?" Wang Kang shouted!

"have!"

Everyone was yelling hard. Wang Kang's words had aroused the emotions of the people in the city and ignited their passion.

To be more precise, it gave them hope!

"Okay, now let's perform the ceremony of paying homage to the land!" Wang Kang said in a deep voice.

It is a local custom to start road construction, also known as groundbreaking and foundation laying!

To report the land is to report the start time to the earth god. I am afraid of disturbing the earth mountain god, so I say hello to the earth god for good luck!

Immediately after Wang Kang's words, his men moved the long table, which was already filled with tributes, pig heads, chickens, ducks and some fruits, cakes and candies.

There is an incense burner placed in the middle!

Led by Wang Kang, he stood in the middle, and on both sides were Lin Yuyan, Nie Zhongxing, Luo Bin and other people in charge.

The servants handed everyone long incense, Wang Kang lit it, and everyone bowed three times to Dongshan.

This is an essential ritual.

There were also cases in previous lives where ground was laid and foundations were laid.

After the ceremony, Wang Kang turned around and faced downwards and said: "Generally, after the ceremony of paying homage to the soil, the first shovelful of soil will be shoveled to indicate the start of work!"

"But today, I am not shoveling the first shovel, but I am celebrating the start of construction in a special way!"

After hearing this, people's eyes fell on the foot of the mountain, where there was a place surrounded by wooden fences and lines.

It means excavation, where to start.

Seeing this scene, Dong Qian smiled and said: "This is really a farce. Seeing that Wang Kang's battle is serious, does he dare to think about it?"

"The mountains are endless and mostly covered with rocks. It is extremely difficult to excavate. With just a few people, do you want to excavate? You really think too much."

"I heard that Wang Dingchang has been going to various states to carry out business in the past few days. He didn't even bother to attend the groundbreaking ceremony and worked hard to make money. But I'm afraid that the speed at which he makes money cannot keep up with the speed at which his son loses!"

"The road to return to miracles, I think, is the road to ruin. This road will either lead to heavy thunder but little rain, or it will bring down the Earl's Mansion!"

"It seems that if they get the fiefdom, they will not benefit from it, but it will cause harm!"

"Boom!"

While several people were laughing and chatting, a muffled sound suddenly came from below, and the place where they were standing shook.

Dong Yiwu changed his color instantly and said hurriedly: "What happened? Is it an earthquake?"

It shook for a moment and then stabilized, but at this time Zheng Qigong was a little dazed.
Chapter completed!
