Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 3 Chapter 84: Negotiate the fairway

   After learning that the channel was about to be opened, Yang Song called Liu Ji, Li Jing, Xun Yu, Chang Sun Sheng and Chen Ping to discuss.

   Li Jing has finished reorganizing the army at this time, and returned to Apocalypse City with less than a hundred soldiers, and the recruitment of conscripts has also been completed.

   More than 3,000 conscripts were organized into a brigade after Li Jing suggested to Yang Song for approval. Under the leadership of nearly a hundred soldiers, recruits were trained.

   The recruits started training at the end of March in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and the current time is mid-April, the sixth year of the Apocalypse. In other words, these recruits only trained for half a month.

   "...This is the situation in the channel. Several of you talk about how Xia Guo should use this channel?" Yang Song explained Li Bao's latest exploration results to several people, and asked Xia Guo how to use this channel.

Yang Song looked at his military commander, Liu Ji meditated and did not speak, but Li Jing who was on the side immediately replied: "Enlighten you! The minister thinks that letting some of the military's supplies be supplied by sea will save a lot of time. ."

   The first thing Li Jing thought of was to provide logistical supplies to the troops stationed in Shanhaiguan.

"According to what Junshang just said, after the opening of the channel, the distance of 780 kilometers under the non-stop sailing of sea ships day and night, it only takes three days at the slowest to reach the small town of Linhai, and the minister of the small town of Linhai also knows It’s only about two hundred kilometers away from Shanhaiguan, and it only takes six days to transport it by carriage, and it takes only nine days in total."

"Although the distance from Apocalypse City to Shanhaiguan is closer, it is only 700 kilometers, but it takes about 20 days to transport materials by horse-drawn carriage. It saves a lot of time by sea!" Li Jing said it was calculated by himself. The time was frightened and sighed.

   As for Li Bao's northward and southward return, it would take more than 20 days. That's because the fleet is the explorer and the forerunner and can only proceed with caution.

   After the route is confirmed, the sea conditions in the channel are clear, there is nothing to worry about, so you can safely sail around the clock.

A distance of 780 kilometers, at a speed of five knots (two kilometers per knot in this world), it only takes 78 hours to reach the destination, which is exactly three days (twenty-six hours a day). .

   If you follow the ocean currents and catch up with the monsoon, you can even reach it in less than three days, which is far more convenient and faster than land.

"More than that, transportation on the road, people eat horses and chew, the road consumption is also very large, while sea transportation does not have these consumption, as long as the normal consumption of sailors can be satisfied." Chang Sun Sheng is still very knowledgeable in this regard. So he continued Li Jing's words.

   Xunyu nodded and agreed: "Mr. Changsun is right, using sea freight can save a lot of extra expenses."

"Moreover, the administrative office to which the ministers belonged still needs these carriages to work in many aspects. If they are used by sea, these carriages can be regarded as having other uses. This is a great event to speed up the development of the country!" Xun Yu said while calculating. , Speaking at the end, it is also very emotional.

Then Chen Ping also agreed: "Your colleagues are right. As the minister knows, there are no decent ships in the sea territories outside the customs. Most of them are fishing boats, and they can only fish in the coastal waters. The wind and waves in the far sea are enough to make Those boats were destroyed."

"Therefore, the minister suggested that the navy fleet should be stationed in the waters outside the coastal basin. Once there is a change, the navy is also an amazing soldier." After comprehensively considering domestic and foreign intelligence, Chen Ping also suggested that in addition to the use of the channel, he also suggested Just station the navy at the forefront.

Yang Song nodded softly after hearing the suggestions of several people. Everyone suggested to use sea transportation to transport the military supplies needed by Shanhaiguan. Other aspects of the use were not mentioned because everyone knows that there is only such a place in the Linhai Basin. Sea freight is used.

   "Your Majesty, what your colleagues said is right, and the minister will add one more in your suggestions." Like Yang Song, Liu Ji, like Yang Song, had listened to everyone's speeches before suggesting to Yang Song.

   "Since the shipping channel is to be used, the seaside town in the Linhai Basin must also be developed and utilized. At least there must be a harbor that can dock warships and sea ships."

   Yang Song and everyone heard Liu Ji's honest and blunt words, and they all couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Liu Ji continued: "Since there is a harbor, someone needs to maintain it. Ship repairers, porters, and a barracks that provide accommodation for naval soldiers. In this way, it is better to set up a small town in this place, in anticipation of the future. This harbor must be busy and prosperous."

   "Then build a Linhai town!" After Yang Song waited for Liu Ji to finish, he could also imagine the prosperity of this harbor, and immediately decided to set up a town.

   Yang Song decided to say: "This town, like Feilong Island and Fugui Island, is directly under the administrative department, and the level is tentatively designated as ‘town level’!"

   "The Lord is wise!" Everyone said in unison, which was regarded as a recognition of Yang Song's decision.

   Yang Song thought for a while and said, "Since the immigration is in Linhai Town, then this harbor must also be built as a military-civilian type. If you want to discuss this matter with the pharmacist and Bowen!"

   "The minister obeys!" The three people named by Yang Song led in unison.

   "Wenruo, how are the four northern towns prepared?" After Yang Song gave his order, remembering that the North had decided to build a new four-collar county, he asked Xun Yu.

   Xunyu replied: "Go on! The preparatory work for the development of the four towns has been completed. The next step is the relocation of the people, the construction of the town, and the surrounding land can be rectified after the construction of the town."

   "How long does it take to build the town?" Yang Song asked again.

"Going back to the monarch, because the people are relocated in batches, and government buildings, schools, post stations, etc. need to be built, ruins are also cleaned up, the site leveled, etc., so the first phase will take some time, and it will take about half a year at the fastest. ." Xun Yu explained back.

   Yang Song pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you speed up? If not, what is the reason?"

   Xunyu thought about these two questions for a few minutes before repliing: "Go, Mr. Qi! You can speed up, but you need enough manpower, especially skilled enough construction workers."

   "Isn't the construction workers in charge of the Bureau of Labor under the Executive Office? What's the problem?" Yang Song asked puzzledly. Xia Guo originally had a professional construction engineering team, which was always in charge of the Bureau of Industry. So now Xun Yu still tells him that there is not enough manpower?

   Xunyu replied with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this engineering team is now rebuilding Shanhaiguan!"

   "So that's the case, do you have any suggestions?" Yang Song also remembered when Xun Yu said this.

  Because the fortification technology of this world cannot meet the requirements of Xia State, after Shanhaiguan is occupied by Xia State, it needs to undergo substantial reconstruction. Such projects are usually handed over to the engineering team with rich experience.

   Yang Song couldn't think of a good way for a while, but he thought it was too time-consuming to let him do the construction step by step, so he asked the few people present on the spot.

   But like Yang Song, at this moment, everyone had no good way to do it. They could only think in silence, and the scene fell silent instantly.

   About ten minutes later, Liu Ji raised his head and arched his hands at Yang Song: "The minister has an advice!"
