Seeing how stressed he was, Jiang Hai comforted him.
"Don't worry. To tell you the truth, I was the one who led two thousand men to drive the Hu people back from Donggu Pass. There was no such thing as divine thunder from the sky. It was our explosives."
"This..." Yang Hongjin was stunned. "Really? Then why didn't my brother-in-law claim this military achievement?"
"Haha, I don't like being an official, so what's the point of having military achievements?"
After listening to this, Yang Hongjin nodded. Indeed, others just wanted to be rich and famous, but he was already so rich.
"So what are you going to do next?"
"Just wait until the city wall is built, then raise the flag to announce it to the world, gather talents, and see which ones come from the nearby state capitals to defect." Jiang Hai said,
"If we recruit a lot of new people during this period, we can have them repair the roads in the city. They are so bumpy that even carriages have trouble traveling."
“…”
Yang Hongjin was speechless, asking how could he have the time to care about these things.
…
Within a month, the technical personnel brought by Jiang Hai were assigned to various places to organize production.
The construction of the factory has been basically completed. Although it is a bit simple, it can operate smoothly.
Several brick factories kept pumping out bricks, the cement factories also kept working, and the smelters kept producing steel bars and some construction equipment and accessories.
A circle of the city wall was built, and special construction equipment was erected, and pulleys were used to lift heavy objects to a high place.
Cartloads of stones were transported from the southwestern mountains, and then the city wall's foundation was reinforced again. Workers climbed up the scaffolding to lay bricks and build the wall.
Then, Yang Hongjin saw the incredible speed of construction.
The city wall changed every day, which was breathtaking and refreshed his three views.
It took only a little over a month to complete the construction of the city wall.
Jiang Hai, Yang Hongjin and others went up to the city wall to inspect it. Yang Hongjin was amazed.
"Brother-in-law, this speed is unprecedented."
"Haha, the speed is just average, look at the hardness."
Jiang Hai poked the battlements on the city wall with his hand. There were several layers of brick walls, and at intervals in between, there were huge reinforced concrete pillars and beams to reinforce the structure.
Finally, a layer of cement and sand is covered on the outside, making it look like an iron barrel.
"It's hard to break through such a strong city."
Yang Hongjin nodded, looking at the towering city wall, feeling relieved, and estimated that it would take two ordinary ladders to reach the wall.
Even for the siege soldiers, climbing the ladders would require a lot of energy. In addition, the distance was so high and the stop time was too long, so it was basically impossible for them to climb up.
A group of Yuezhou officials who accompanied them were all extremely shocked.
Lu Qian's mood was similar to Yang Hongjin's.
When something happened in the capital before, he was called by Yang Hongjin to discuss the matter.
After returning to the county government office, I had a long ideological struggle. I wondered if I would become cannon fodder as soon as I took office.
However, he also learned that the third prince had killed his father to seize power. In the end, the upbringing of the Lu family made him insist on standing on the side of the sixth prince.
Su Cainv also supported him, but she was secretly worried about her father, Master Su Ning, who was on the side of the third brother.
After these days, Lu Qian began to look at Jiang Hai with new respect.
This group of people from the new city took the lead in construction, and many people from Yuezhou signed up to participate.
The wages are at least double that of ordinary jobs, and two full meals are provided. Anyone who doesn't go is a fool.
Driven by this, Yuezhou City is changing with each passing day.
Many new shops have opened in the city, selling various daily necessities, and there are even more food shops.
This is also part of Jiang Hai's plan. For this purpose, he specially arranged daily wages. Every day after work, he can collect the day's wages.
Who wouldn’t want to improve their life if they actually got the money? A virtuous cycle would begin.
Where did all this food and daily necessities come from? Merchants from the new city had already heard the news and were rushing in to make some money.
Many of the shops were opened by them.
The chubby young man couldn't help but complain in his heart about this rich guy, damn, money really can make the world go round.
Complaints aside, this also helped him a lot, with such good developments.
He naturally feels comfortable being a county magistrate.
While complaining about Jiang Hai in his heart, the fat young master silently accepted the political achievements given by Young Master Jiang. He felt a little torn inside.
Following behind the team, I quietly sorted out my thoughts. I might as well get along well with this guy. Maybe I can get him to invest in something else in the future.
Jiang Hai naturally didn't know that the little fat man's heart was so wonderful. He talked with Yang Hongjin and others while walking.
"It's time to show our hand and let the third brother experience what despair is like."
Yang Hongjin nodded and followed the accompanying governor to give instructions.
The governor responded repeatedly.
It can be said that the group of officials who followed behind were all very unsure when Yang Hongjin called them in to discuss important matters.
Yuezhou is originally located in southern Xinjiang, very far away from the capital, and most of the officials who come here have no connections.
There is a high probability that I will not be able to have a good life if I leave Yuezhou, and I may even be laid off, so I have to grit my teeth and give it a try.
After this period of time, they all began to change their views, perhaps they made the right choice.
Now I feel very excited when doing things.
This day.
Official letters and documents were sent from Yuezhou to various provincial capitals across the country.
The content naturally exposes the third brother's rebellious behavior, and comes with the authentic edict of succession that Jiang Hai asked Huang Haitang to publish one-to-one.
Finally, officials from all over the country were asked to open their eyes, choose their side, and bear the consequences of disobedience. This clause was added at the strong request of Master Liu.
This is what Master Liu said,
"If they don't show any attitude, why should we feed them? It's good enough if we don't hit them."
Well, Brother Qiang No. 2 has such a bad temper.
Yuezhou's frequent actions naturally did not escape Yang Hongye's eyes.
Now that he has entered the palace and is enjoying the imperial power he has always dreamed of, he feels relaxed and happy.
All the staff members also got some official positions.
I heard about the situation in Yuezhou and learned that they were recruiting soldiers to build a city.
Yang Hongye was naturally unhappy. He had originally planned to get rid of the sixth brother, otherwise he would always feel that the imperial edict was a hidden danger.
This is even better. As long as there is any action over there, it will be more legitimate to get rid of Lao Liu.
Originally, he wanted to issue an edict to ask the sixth brother to come to the capital, so that if he didn't come, he would have a reason to deal with him.
Now it is more direct. According to the news reported back, the number of soldiers recruited by Lao Liu has exceeded the number of soldiers possessed by the vassal kings.
Just put a hat on someone and send troops to Yuezhou to arrest him.
In the court that day, Yang Hongye began to discuss the situation in Yuezhou.
"Who do you think is more suitable to send?"
This opportunity is rare, and all the generals who have surrendered to Yang Hongye are eager to try, thinking that this is a good job.
In their minds, attacking Yuezhou is naturally much easier than attacking foreign tribes.
