The manor has not been inhabited for a long time, only a few old servants who guard the door, and have been guarding the place.
The guards went in and out, cleaning and repairing, and the dust was flying, and Zhu Rong sat under the big tree and studied the system.
Several old servants were very happy, they never dreamed that one day, His Royal Highness King Qi would personally come to this manor.
“Your Highness, drink a bowl of hot tea to warm up your body.”
An old servant carefully brought hot tea and gently placed it on the stone table next to him.
It is not yet spring, and the weather has not warmed up.
Sit on your own turf, drink hot tea, not to mention how comfortable you are.
Isn’t this more comfortable than being in the capital?
Thinking of the oppressive atmosphere above the court, Zhu Rong shook his head repeatedly, still comfortable in his own territory.
Zhu Rong first studied the complete set of technical data and drawings of the expressway directly in hand.
Although it is a highway, in the current era, the highway built is definitely different from the future generations.
It doesn’t need to be as spacious and it doesn’t need to be as high specs.
However, the basic process and method are basically the same.
Simply put, it is to prepare materials, sweep the base layer, place roadside rocks, and spread asphalt. Then sprinkle a layer of mineral material, crush it, and then sprinkle a second layer of asphalt, so three times, basically it is formed.
Asphalt is not a rarity now.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, asphalt began to be used in the production method of gunpowder.
And Wei Zhongxian, the most famous eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, invented a form of torture, pouring asphalt on the prisoner’s body, beating it with a small hammer, and finally, removing the shell alive.
However, if Zhu Rong wants to build a highway on a large scale, the amount of asphalt required is very large!
The conventional method of obtaining asphalt naturally cannot meet the needs of Zhu Rong. However, this point is easy to solve, which is nothing more than directly exchanging experience points from the system.
But before that, there are two difficult problems to solve.
One is a place to hide people’s eyes, a large amount of asphalt comes out, and he always needs a source, and he pondered to get a large workshop outside Qingzhou City.
In addition, there are loyal and reliable workers.
He now has a lot of people available under his hands, but they are all big-headed soldiers.
Although it is now under his own jurisdiction, but the loyalty may not reach 100%, now he belongs to the early stage of entrepreneurship, no mistakes are allowed, if at this time, someone to the capital to send a letter, put small shoes on himself, it is definitely enough to drink a pot for himself.
After thinking about it, he still decided to consume experience points and exchange them directly for reliable personnel from the system.
At the forefront of the system are soldiers, and soldiers are divided into five types: gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
To put it simply, metal soldiers, suitable for charging, are the main force of combat.
Soldiers with wood and earth attributes are good at paving bridges and roads, building fortifications, crafting siege equipment, and so on.
Water attribute soldiers, equivalent to the navy. However, now Zhu Rong has not yet worked hard to build the Daming Navy and open the era of great navigation.
Soldiers with fire attributes are good at using gunpowder, fuel and other special high-burning and high-explosive weapons and equipment.
These guys will become the main force in handling some of their own confidential locations in the future.
These soldiers who are redeemed from the system are 100% loyal. And the consumption of experience points is relatively small, only 10 experience points, you can exchange for a soldier, which is not too cost-effective.
Of course, they will certainly not be given any weapons and equipment in the early days, mainly as reliable labor.
In addition to them, some leading ones are needed. Then you need craftsmen in the exchange system, craftsmen are much more precious than ordinary soldiers.
100 experience points can be exchanged for a craftsman, but the craftsman is equivalent to an engineer, it is technical, not an ordinary big soldier can not compare, even if the experience value is more, Zhu Rong can accept it.
The problems of location and personnel have been solved, and now there is another troublesome thing, that is, the problem of eating.
People, he can exchange from the system, but when he redeems them, he also needs to eat.
And in the system, these people who are exchanged are mainly responsible for some of their own more confidential locations, carrying out production, protection, transportation and other tasks, and the specific construction work still needs to recruit a large number of farmers, which is simple, they are the king of the clan, and on their own territory, recruiting farmers is just a matter of one sentence!
The most troublesome thing is the problem of eating, he came to the fief empty-handed, although there are some family funds, but the construction of the highway is a big project, and on such a large territory as Qidi, the time spent must not be short, so many laborers, have to eat every day, how can this be solved?
You know, the food problem is a very headache for the whole Daming.
Now the whole Daming, two meals a day, has not solved the basic problem of food and clothing, and the people who starve to death every year because of insufficient food are the current Daming, the most causes of death!
In the early stage, although he could spend money to purchase grain, it was not a long-term solution.
Now, he doesn’t have much money on hand, and before he became a clan, most of the income generated by the fief was requisitioned by his cheap father, who bullied him for not growing up.
His own mother concubine, of course, will also send someone to send some silver taels, but I don’t think too much, let myself live in the local wealth, naturally no problem, but if it is used to carry out such a huge project, it is barely plugged between the teeth.
Zhu Rong touched his chin and secretly said in his heart, the most urgent thing is to earn silver first.
No matter what dynasty, what status, money, is always a good thing.
