Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 486 A City
The project of Wangjia Village is the top priority of the whole world at present, and the required manpower is so large that it is not enough to mobilize the craftsmen of the entire Lushan County to one place.Fortunately, the situation in Yuzhou is very good at the moment. Except for a few counties with severe epidemics, many stone workshops and timber workshops in the counties have opened up one after another and started business.

What the Four Seas Escort Bureau lacked most was chariots and horses, even if it was far away, it would not hinder the effort to send these stones to Wangjia Village one after another.

Gu Qi wants to build a city in Wangjia Village, a guard city that can train soldiers.

The amount of silver required for such a huge project is naturally unknown. Fortunately, both the Sihai Commercial Market and the Sihai Pharmacy are receiving thousands of dollars every day, so that the silver can be exchanged for stones in an endless stream. , wood, copper and iron, and labor were sent to Wangjia Village.

In addition to the craftsmen responsible for the construction, Gu Qi also asked Fang Zhiyuan to find a few blacksmiths, and temporarily raised them in the name of casting agricultural tools for farmers.

According to Dakang's laws and regulations, private individuals are not allowed to hoard gold, silver, copper and iron ore without official documents.In addition, blacksmiths from all over the country generally register their identities in the Yamen and receive the amount of pig iron ore and the specific types of objects made every month. It is not easy for ordinary merchants to recruit blacksmiths under their names in private. Right and wrong.

However, it is not difficult to find a few blacksmiths in Yuzhong right now. There are more than 10,000 victims of the three-year drought in Yuzhou. There are no blacksmiths here, or there are a few more servants here. Will not notice anything.

Fang Zhiyuan's skills are good. Although these blacksmiths were found in various counties, towns and villages in Yuzhong, in terms of household registration, several of them were originally from Yubei.

As for the earlier blacksmith documents, they only stayed in the government where they were originally registered. After arriving in Yuzhong, they could only do some coolies to transport goods and carry heavy domestic servants. The two sides are different, and not many people know their identity.

After all, it is of a special nature. Unlike other hired workers who only need to sign an employment contract, these people sign the contract of sale one by one.The only thing is that these people can't leave Lushan County without incident.

Gu Qi didn't elaborate on what he wanted to do.But Fang Zhiyuan is a smart person and obviously understands the meaning of it, he does things with a certain measure, almost to the extent that everything is fine-grained.

The most interesting thing is that Fang Zhiyuan didn't ask anything, Gu Qi didn't know whether this person's nature was extremely cautious or bold.

Fortunately, he is a usable person, as long as he can be used, nothing else matters.
-
Gu Qiyi lived near Wangjia Village for seven or eight days in a row.

During the period, He Yong sent people to deliver several letters, all of which were about the follow-up of the epidemic. He also mentioned Feng Qing twice on the sidelines, and asked whether Gu Qidekong had any plans to return to the city, all of which were rejected. Gu Qi refused with other matters.

Why did He Yong mention Fengqing? Left and right are just what Liu Shouzheng meant.

Liu Shouzheng wanted to get along well with Shangfeng, but he couldn't figure out the origin of Fengqing, so he thought of using the name of preventing epidemics and donating medicines to take advantage of the situation to let Sihai do more blood and effort, and completely tie the relationship between the three parties.

In fact, Liu Shouzheng had a good idea, and it's not necessarily that Sihai didn't want to do this, but it's just that rushing up is not a business, and some things are left for now, and there is no rush to start when things are clear.

Sure enough, after waiting for another two days, Gu Qi received another letter from He Yong.
