Chapter 435 Hanyang, Ruyang, Liuyang (please vote and subscribe)
Hearing what Luo Chong said, Sancho, the translator and Shu Da were all shocked. They are going to build a new city? !
"Chief, are we going to build a new city this year?!" Shu Da asked honestly.
"Well, first find a good place, clean up the land, and then build the city wall. We will build inside after the spring of next year. You don't have to worry about this. The more people there are in our tribe now, the better it will be. We can occupy more land first so that we can grow more food. With food, we don't have to worry about the population problem." Luo Chong explained simply, and then looked at Sancho and the translator.
"Chief, are you saying that we should build a new city? A new city that is bigger than this Hanyang City?!" Sancho asked in disbelief.
"You are indeed needed to participate, but not just you, there are many other tribesmen who will participate. After all, you can't build it yourself, so you can only learn from everyone.
And what I just said about asking all of you Sang clan members to move to the new city does not mean moving there this year, but moving there after the house is built next year, so that it will be convenient for you to raise chestnut silkworms.
As for mulberry trees, you can plant them here in Hanyang City this year, and transplant the saplings there after the city is built." Luo Chong explained to them.
After listening to Luo Chong's explanation, Sang Qiu also thought about it seriously. Now that they have joined the Han tribe, they are also living under someone else's roof. What can they do if they don't obey the leader's orders? Anyway, they will not have a good harvest.
Besides, the current situation is indeed as Luo Chong said. If they don't agree to this arrangement, they really can't do anything in one or two years. However, what should they do with the silkworm seeds they collected this time?
"Chief, we can agree to your arrangement and are willing to build a new city with everyone. But what should we do with the silkworm seeds we brought back this time? If we had known that there were no mulberry trees here, we would not have brought them here. Now we can't keep them alive. It's a pity." Sangqiu said with some regret.
"No, it's not a pity. Mulberry silkworms can be raised without mulberry leaves. They can eat other leaves and make cocoons. It's just that they can't give birth to offspring after becoming silkworm moths. You can keep this batch of mulberry silkworms first. When the mulberry trees here can be used in one or two years, you can go back to collect a batch of silkworm seeds. Otherwise, you'll be idle anyway, so just keep them first."
"Is it possible?!" Sangqiu and the translator were stunned when they heard this. These were things they didn't know. How did the chief know? But when they thought of the scene when they first met Luo Chong, they were not surprised. Without such skills and knowledge, could they be the leader of such a big tribe? !
"Then we will follow the leader's arrangement." Sancho immediately expressed his opinion.
"Well, you came at the right time. The rice outside the city will be harvested in a few days. You new members of the tribe can help. You can also learn how to farm first, so that you can be self-reliant when you are assigned to live in other cities in the future.
Now you can live in the barracks first. This is the only way this year. I will have someone take you to see the weaving workshop in Hanyang City and see how we weave cloth. Then I will select some of your women to learn. When you weave silk cloth yourself, don't be ignorant of how to use the machine." Luo Chong continued to make arrangements.
"Yes, we will follow the leader's arrangement." Sancho replied immediately.
Luo Chong nodded, walked out of the classroom, called a student from the next room to take Sangqiu to visit the weaving workshop, so that they could dampen their enthusiasm. Don't think that you are great just because you can raise silkworms and make silk clothes. Look at the textile technology of the Han tribe. You are nothing. Just learn from them slowly and honestly.
After Sangqiu and the translator left, Shu Da and Luo Chong were the only ones left in the room. Shu Da couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Luo Chong for confirmation.
"Chief, are we really going to build a new city this year?!"
"Why? How can I say such a big thing casually? And more than one new city, my plan is to build two, one in the chestnut forest on the east bank of the river, and one in the valley in the north. Both of them must be built before the end of next year." As Luo Chong spoke, he came to the podium again and drew two circles on the sketch, marking the locations of the two new cities.
"But chief, where can we get so many people? The new city is not full yet, and we have to build two more cities. We may not even have enough people to do the construction."
"People will be available soon. In the spring of next year, more than 4,000 people from the two tribal alliances in the north will move south. If you don't make plans in advance, you will be really dumbfounded when thousands of people come to your house and have no place to live or food to eat.
We should lay a good foundation in advance, and they will come to build it soon. It is better to prepare early than to deal with emergencies at the last minute."
Luo Chong spread his hands helplessly. There was no other way to deal with such a rush. After all, it was the early stage of construction, and there was no need for people. But it was also good this way. You built the phoenix tree, so are you afraid that you can't attract the phoenix to live there? If you have a good house, how can it be given away for free without people? Of course, as long as you admit that you are a citizen of the Han tribe and obey the arrangements of the leader,
it will be fine. Rat Da thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. After all, he still had soldiers following the two alliances. Of course, he knew that 4,000 people would come next year. According to what Luo Chong said just now, when 4,000 people rushed to Hanyang City at once, I couldn't imagine what kind of trouble would happen. The leader was far-sighted.
"Then, leader, what are the names of these two new cities? They can't all be called new cities, right? There are already three new cities?" Rat Da thought about it and asked another question while looking at the map sketch on the blackboard.
"Well, I've thought about the name. We are in Hanyang County. The new city in the valley to the north is just a county town, under the jurisdiction of Hanyang County. In addition, I chose to build a city there mainly to build a wall to guard against the attack of cannibals based on the terrain of the valley pass.
After all, our current strength is not enough to wipe them out, so we can only choose a conservative defense posture. So this is both a county town and a checkpoint. And because we have rounded up wild horses there, I plan to call this county town Binmaguan." As Luo Chong spoke, he wrote three Chinese characters on the map at the location of the valley with chalk.
"In addition, there is the new city on the east bank of the river, near the chestnut forest and tung forest. This is a new county, on the same level as Hanyang City. In the future, other county towns will be expanded around it. This county is bounded by the river and faces Hanyang County across the river. I plan to call this county 'Ruyang County'." Luo Chong wrote three words on the map on the blackboard again.
"Then there is the new city that you and Dashu are guarding now. There are already two connected markets here. Although they are called markets, they are actually larger than Hanyang City. In the future, they will continue to expand, so this is also a large county, on the same level as Hanyang County and Ruyang County, called 'Liuyang County'.
The two existing markets in Liuyang County are connected together, so they are counted at the township level. The one in the north is called Linze Township, and the one in the south is called Shangtian Township. They are all under the jurisdiction of Liuyang County, and the governor of Liuyang County is located in Liuyang County.
The specific jurisdiction of Liuyang County is even larger, To the east, we need to control the Ling tribe in the swamp, to the west, we need to border Ruyang County, to the north, we need to control the Babaoshan copper mining area, and to the south, it is still under development and has no specific jurisdiction. We will build our county towns in these places to realize actual control in the future."
Luo Chong marked the names on the map on the blackboard while talking about the specific management jurisdictions of these administrative units. Shu Da also looked at the map in shock. Hanyang County, Ruyang County, Liuyang County, and a county-level administrative unit called Fumaguan, and the two townships of Linze and Shangtian in Liuyang County. The leader just drew a picture and the Han tribe has become so big?!
