With the help of the messenger pigeon, Liu Chen quickly received the news. After smiling, he threw it to the back of his mind.
After staying in the salt mine for two days, Liu Chen went to the iron mine and coal mine to continue his exploration. With the road traffic, it took him seven days to return to Changshan County to govern the Yuan Clan.
Qiushou and Tian Feng held high positions. On the third day, they returned with the officials from the Forging Academy.
Only Zhao Yun and the guards stayed behind to protect Liu Chen.
Liu Chen's current strength was not inferior to Zhao Yun at all. He did not need their protection at all.
However, as the lord, his safety was related to the survival of the millions of people in Chang Shan. Zhao Yun could not be careless.
When Liu Chen returned to Chang Shan seven days later, the lives of the people in the county changed.
A room appeared at every certain distance, with the words: A public toilet!
What surprised Liu Chen was that these public toilets were actually made of cement and red bricks.
It seemed like the forging academy was progressing very quickly.
"My lord, according to your plans and instructions, we have already built public toilets in all the streets and alleys of Chang Shan…"
Ju Shou was still not used to this form of address, but this was Liu Chen's arrangement, so he did not dare to dissuade him. Instead, it was just a name, so it did not matter.
"Not bad, you guys are very efficient.”
Liu Chen nodded in satisfaction and said,"Has the construction of the houses of the people started?" Are there fire pits installed in the new houses?”
"It has already begun."
"We've arranged a large number of people to build more buildings in a shorter period of time." Tian Feng cupped his hands and said.
"The buildings are arranged according to the drawings. They are scattered and orderly. The roads are wide, including the construction of the sewers.
"Every new house has a fire pit. We've tested it, and the fire pit's warming effect is excellent. As the lord said, our Chang Mountain no longer has cold winters.”
Liu Chen listened to their reports with satisfaction.
The architectural blueprint he conceived surrounded the original residences and offices of the people in Chang Shan, and used them as the center to build the periphery.
His original residence had become an Laocheng District. However, one should not underestimate this place. Every inch of land was worth an inch of gold.
Government offices, economic trading venues, school districts, medical centers, and other high-value buildings were all in the Laocheng District.
As a native of Chang Shan, the household register and land were very precious. There were even many houses in the new New town area, and one of them belonged to them.
Liu Chen naturally wouldn't mistreat these commoners who had followed him through tough times.
In fact, many benefits started from them.
Now, as long as the local citizens of Chang Shan showed their household registration certificate, they could easily marry a wife without any betrothal gifts.
This was the superiority of the locals!
Liu Chen's thoughts were like lightning as he added,"
"It's July now, and there are still three to four months before winter. We need to speed up the renovation of the old houses in the Laocheng District.
"We need to speed up the installation of the brick bed and the renovation of the house. The sewers, in particular, required strict planning.”
Liu Chen's goal for Chang Shan's underground drainage system was the future Ganzhou's underground drainage system.
The underground drainage system built by the Song Dynasty had been around for more than a thousand years. Even in times of floods, it could still be easily connected. There was not even a water tank in the city.
This was much more complete than the drainage system of many cities in the future.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou cupped their hands and bowed.
"Yes, sir! This subordinate understands!"
Liu Chen nodded in satisfaction, and a group of officials followed him to tour the reconstruction of Chang Mountain.
In the Laocheng District, the roads were paved with bluestone slabs, but there were also some mud roads that were now covered with cement.
These cement roads were constructed using the blueprints that Liu Chen had exchanged for. Don't underestimate these cement roads. You just need to put cement on them.
In fact, he still needed to layer it, make a good drainage system, set up cracks to avoid thermal expansion and contraction, and so on.
Most of the roads in the New town area were made of cement. The roads extended in all directions, and four carriages could run side by side at the same time. It was a perfect four-lane road!
"After the reconstruction of the city is completed, we will need to connect the traffic roads of the various counties in Chang Shan with cement roads.”
Liu Chen looked forward to the future." When the time comes, the transportation of the people, the change of soldiers, the transportation of food, and so on will definitely increase by several times!”
"This subordinate understands!"
Tian Feng and Qiushou cupped their hands and said.
In fact, the drastic reconstruction of Chang Shan during this period of time was already a little difficult for the government's finances and food.
However, Liu Chen was currently in high spirits, so they would not bring up this matter to dampen their spirits.
However…
Liu Chen's grasp of microexpressions was very strong. His IQ was as high as 96, and his internal affairs was as high as 92, allowing him to see the difficulties of the two at a glance.
"Is the financial and food situation tight recently?”Liu Chen asked with a smile.
"My lord is wise!"
Qiushou and Tian Feng looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Liu Chen reassured the two of them.
"You don't have to worry. The sweet potatoes and potatoes are about to be harvested.
"I've already arranged for the salt officials to continuously produce salt. The production and sale of soap was also accelerating.
"At that time, there will be countless amounts of money gathered in Chang Mountain. There is no need to worry about these things.”
Speaking of which, not only was he in urgent need of money and food, but after spending this period of time, Liu Chen's war points were only left with more than four million!
It seemed that he had to arrange for Zilong to lead his troops out for combat training, while also grinding for points and leveling up!
Moreover, they still needed to continue recruiting soldiers during this period of time. They had to increase the number of soldiers to 200,000 in August and September!
At that time.
What Dong Zhuo and the Xi Liang cavalry? Liu Chen had directly pushed them aside and even tore down Luoyang's city walls!
However, this would have to wait until the sweet potatoes and potatoes were harvested.
Only with food in hand could he be at ease.
"Let's go to the sweet potato and potato plantation. By the way, has the Forging Institute completed the waterwheel and fertilizer this king designed?”
Liu Chen asked curiously.
"My liege, it was just completed yesterday. I heard that the Blacksmith's Academy is heading to the sweet potato plantation to install it.”
"That's good. Let's go and take a look.”
Liu Chen waved his hand. Just as the group was about to move, Guo Jia rushed over.
"My lord, the Zhen family has come. They even brought ironware and horses.”
Unknowingly, Guo Jia's way of addressing Liu Chen had also changed.
This made Liu Chen secretly happy. It seemed that his charisma had completely conquered this genius Guo Jia.
In reality, Liu Chen was thinking too much. Whether it was His Highness or the lord, it was a form of respect from his subordinates.
His charisma had long conquered everyone in Chang Mountain. As long as he stayed in Chang Mountain for a period of time, he would probably forget about it.
"Let's go and meet the Zhen family. It seems that they have already made their own choice by disobeying the Yuan family's orders.”
"Yes."
