The Battle of Princes Worldwide Online

Chapter 216 Official Road No. 01

Two days later, that is, on October [-]st of the third year of the new calendar, under the supervision of Lucheng, the census of the entire territory began.

This is the first large-scale census in more than three years, and the main targets are those clans that keep domestic slaves in violation of regulations.

Although the Wuyang law has clearly abolished slavery, slavery in disguised forms such as domestic slaves still exists widely.

This is a matter of principle. Even if it cannot be abolished all at once, it is necessary to let these people know that people are classified into high and low, but they are equal in terms of the right to life. The right to decide the life and death of others!
In fact, Lucheng also had to do the same, and now this problem is imminent, especially in those newly occupied counties, many clans have a common practice of keeping domestic slaves, hundreds of them are the norm, and even 2000 are not uncommon.

Although there are objective reasons for this approach, such as the chaotic situation, slavery is for self-protection and other reasons, but now that the entire Qianwei County has been unified, this argument is no longer tenable.

According to estimates, if it can be successfully implemented this time, it will directly release a labor force of 30 million, accounting for about 5.00% of the total population. If such a large population can participate in reclaiming fields, building roads, and digging ore, it will be beneficial to the entire Territory will be a big upgrade.

Of course, this census also takes away another purpose, which is to recruit young and strong talents with first-class talents. First-class talents are extremely rare. According to the introduction of the system, there is only a one-ten-thousandth chance, even if the entire Qianwei County is turned over. With the bottom up, there may only be five or six hundred people with this kind of talent, and there are many people who are too young or even too old.

Lucheng plans to recruit 300 ordinary people this time, and the remaining [-] people will be used to reward meritorious ministers.

This is a very cumbersome job, and it cannot be completed overnight. It can be as little as two or three months, or as long as half a year.

In the midst of being busy, time passed quickly, and it was already the end of October in a blink of an eye.

It has not been peaceful for nearly a month.

First of all, in Wuyang City, the appearance of Qimen still caused quite a stir, and now it has become the talk of many people after dinner.

In this regard, Lucheng did not deliberately block the news, but admitted it very generously.

And in mid-October, the information on Qi training was directly announced to the outside world.

After a series of publicity and deliberate guidance, Lianqimen has become an otherworldly paradise.

As long as you join the Qi training door, you can have unworldly magical skills and secret techniques. If you meet the opportunity, you may even transcend the mortal body and become a legendary disciple of the immortal family, with a long lifespan and high strength.

This kind of thing, which is like a myth and legend, happened "really", and the shock it can bring can be imagined.

Nowadays, hundreds of people come to Chengnan Peak every day, some of them are here for fun, and of course more are hoping to get some opportunities.

This small Chengnan Peak suddenly became a popular sight.

In addition to training gas doors, another major event happened in the territory, that is, the mining of oil sands.

This oil sand mine is located in Zizhong County, and judging from the currently discovered reserves, it is still very considerable.

In just one month, the separated oil reached two tons, and the bitumen also reached four tons.

After Li Minglin's design, Qianwei County's first oil storage depot was born.

As for asphalt, it was used on the official road from Wuyang City to Qin City three days ago.

There are a total of three cities in Wuyang County. In addition to Wuyang City, there are two cities, Qin City and Kun City.

The functions of the three cities are different. Wuyang City is the core of politics and economy. Qin City exists as a sub-center of Wuyang City. The industry is also gradually shifting to Qincheng.

For example, farms, oil storage depots, furniture factories, and rough stone processing factories have all been transferred there.

The functions and functions are still very strong, and the distance between the two cities is also very close, only less than ten kilometers away. The idea of ​​Lucheng is also very simple, that is, to connect all three cities.

Lucheng had also thought about using gravel for paving before, but later Yizhi gave up this idea.

This involves too much labor force. If you want to get gravel, you can only use human power to dig the mountain. At that time, the manpower was not sufficient, and the final result may not be ideal.

The gravel road is a kind of damage to the horses and horses. Once it encounters heavy rain, the road will become very difficult.

But now with Asphalt, it's all sorted out nicely.

According to Li Minglin's introduction, the paving material used this time is asphalt concrete.

Asphalt concrete, commonly known as asphalt concrete, is a mixture made of crushed stone and a certain proportion of asphalt.

Even in modern society, this material is a high-grade paving material, which is much more expensive than concrete, and it is only used on highways.

It is indeed a bit extravagant to use it on the official road now, but Lucheng can't control so much at this time. Now that there are such conditions, it is stupid not to use it.

As for the cost involved, it's really not a problem in Qianwei County. Even if you don't recruit civilian husbands, the more than 20 house slaves are enough.

However, the laying of the asphalt road did not cause much impact in Wuyang City, and only a few people would understand the importance of this.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This very simple truth was well known in the previous life. Although the words are a bit rough, the truth is not wrong.

On October 01th of the third year of the new calendar, Lucheng personally participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the No. [-] official road from Wuyang City to Qincheng.

The road is designed to be six meters wide and has a total length of 9.8 kilometers.

The estimated completion time is four months, which is actually not too long, even a bit rushed.

You must know that there are special asphalt pavers in modern times, but there is no such thing here. The substitute is a specially polished grindstone, and the efficiency is naturally much lower.

And not only the efficiency, but also the resource utilization rate is much lower. In a certain sense, this is not a mature technology. It is impossible to put it into the market now, let alone commercialize it.

But for many ancients, this project is definitely an existence against the sky.

For example, Pang Tong and Xu Shu who had just rushed to Wuyang City, after a lot of hard work, Xu Shu finally nodded, but he was only willing to follow. As for going directly to Wuyang City, it was still far away.
