Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Communication
After Lin Si finished dealing with a bunch of official business, washed up and lay down on the warm fire bed to sleep, she finally had time to check if there was anything new in the system.
When I clicked on it, I saw that her territory had indeed expanded from Li County to the entire Xihe Road.
However, the territory is also specifically divided. Only Li County is a third-level territory, and other places are still first-level territories.
People's support and reputation naturally increased rapidly.
Lin Si had previously exchanged potatoes and sweet potatoes, and her popularity had dropped to zero. Fortunately, her operation of releasing grain directly made the people of Xihe Road grateful, so her popularity increased by a considerable amount.
Lin Si browsed through the People's Heart Exchange Mall for a long time and saw something that caught her eye.
Champa rice seeds!
Champa rice is a good thing. It has a short growth cycle, only taking 60 days to mature, and has a high yield, with two harvests a year, making it very suitable for double-season planting.
However, there are no paddy fields on Xihe Road, so it cannot be used for the time being.
Lin Si thought about it and decided that he could promote the business on Liangzhe Road when he took over Liangzhe Road in the future.
There's no rush now.
Lin Si continued to read. She now had a popularity value of over 300, which was quite impressive. But when she saw the exchange prices for cannons, rifles, and even AKs, she fell silent again.
Each of them costs over two thousand.
Let’s order something else.
But she can’t use any of these 100 yuan solar fans, 50 yuan latex mattresses, and 150 yuan refrigerators!
Lin Si thought about saving everyone's heart value first, and then exchanging it for modern agricultural tools such as tractors, harvesters, and automatic seeders when it reached more than 500.
Just as Lin Si was thinking this, something caught her attention.
Wireless communication transmission tool, exchange value 300.
Lin Si clicked on the details page and found that this was a communication tool that was more convenient than a mobile phone. There were four of them in total, which could be used for real-time communication and message dissemination.
And the scope of use happens to be the entire land area of Dachen.
This is great, very good. It is very suitable for transmitting intelligence and reporting various affairs. It can be used at dawn, in wars, by herself, and even more so by officials who are away from home.
It was not easy to transmit information in ancient times. With this thing, she couldn't imagine how convenient it would be in the future.
The value of people's hearts is rare. Lin Si hesitated for a few seconds, but still placed the order decisively.
*
The infrastructure plan for Xihe Road is proceeding in an orderly manner.
First of all, food was distributed every day, and volunteers from Li County helped teach how to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Most of the volunteers are farmers who are willing to come and help, most of them want to repay Lin Si and Liang Nian.
When the volunteers were chatting with people from other counties, people in other areas of Xihe Road were shocked to realize that they were all living like this.
We are all on the same path, so how come the people of Li County live such a good life!
The common people looked envious and said, "If we become the subjects of the county lord, will we also live such a good life?"
Shi Tu gave a shy smile and said, "Of course! As long as we follow the county lord's policy, we won't go wrong."
The needs of the lower-class people are actually very low, just three words: survive.
Because of Lin Si's arrival, although many elderly people could not survive the cold winter, the vast majority of young and middle-aged people survived by relying on potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The biting and cold winter gradually passed and the weather became a little warmer. Liang Nian began to organize the people to build roads.
The road plan was laid out from the beginning.
If you want to get rich, build roads first. Lin Si kept this sentence firmly in mind.
During the training in the previous few years, the troops had already wiped out all the bandits in Xihe Road, so the road construction process was very smooth.
The team was led by volunteers from Li County.
Shitu was very busy. After teaching how to farm, he came to lead the road construction.
He entrusted his family's land to the Xu family next door and paid them daily.
Compared to the land at home, he still felt that Xihe Road needed him more.
Shitou and Shijin both have their own things to do, and the family hasn't seen each other since Shitu came to Xihe Road.
Shi Tu also understood that his children all had their own things to do, so he didn't bother them.
Not only ordinary people came to build the road, but also officials from various states. Every family had to send someone, and they could not avoid this matter just because their family was richer.
There is pay for road construction, although it is not much, it is enough to motivate the people to work hard.
The officials worked very hard just to leave a good impression in front of Lin Si.
When these young men learned that Shitu was from Li County, they would always surround Shitu during their breaks and ask him some questions in a roundabout way.
Shi Tu was the worst at dealing with these kinds of beating around the bush, so he simply said, "Gentlemen, if you have any questions, please just ask directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Now it was the turn of the young men to feel embarrassed. They whispered, "I wonder how we can gain the county lady's appreciation and work for her?"
Shi Tu thought for a moment and said, "Let's study. There are schools in Li County. Children who study well will be appreciated by the county lord. If you do well in the exams in our Li County schools, there are even scholarships."
Lin Sike has no time to pay attention to these gentlemen. She has exchanged for a wireless communicator for some time, and now the time has come to use it.
It has been almost a month since the four new county magistrates took office. During this time, Lin Si and Liang Nian are still busy with various paperwork and documents.
After all, once the current tasks are completed, new documents will be delivered later.
These four people are serving as county magistrates for the first time, and they don’t know whether they can handle this job.
Lin Si did not intend to intervene to help. If they could not even convince the people of a small county government office, it would only mean that she and Liang Nian had made a mistake and the position of county magistrate should be replaced.
Guo Zi and Zhong Diyan knelt on one knee and bowed their heads, waiting for Lin Si's instructions.
Chunyi stood aside, with faint dark circles under her eyes. These days she had to deliver documents and deal with people who wanted to visit Lin Si. She couldn't even win an argument with those sour scholars, so how could she talk about literary talent and the way to govern the country.
"Ha..." Realizing that she had yawned subconsciously, Chunyi quickly covered her mouth.
There are four wireless communicators, but Lin Si only took out two today. Such precious things were packed in a wooden box and are now placed on the table.
"Open it." Lin Si gestured to Chun Yi.
The moment the box was opened, Chunyi took a breath of cold air. Two white cubes with a cold metallic luster lay quietly in the box.
Zhong Diyan and Guo Zi's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the wireless communicator. They had never seen such an ingenious thing before. The surface was even so smooth that one could see a person's reflection in it.
Chunyi also looked at Lin Si with a hint of confusion. Was this thing made by blacksmiths?
The structure of the wireless communicator is very simple, just buttons, one for on and one for off.
After exchanging them, Lin Si numbered and paired the four machines, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 respectively.
The two taken out are No. 1 and No. 2.
Lin Si took number 1 in his hand and handed number 2 to Zhong Diyan.
Then he shook the communicator and said, "Take this thing and find a place farther away, press the power button, and report the situation to it."
Guo Zi and Zhong Diyan would not ask about the origin of the item, nor would they ask about Lin Si's purpose, so they just took the item and did as they were told.
Chunyi rubbed her eyes and said, "County Lady, what new and unique thing have you got?"
Lin Si thought about it and said, "It's a very useful and rare gadget."
“How useful is it?”
"Maybe it can transmit sound over a thousand miles?"
Chun Yi's eyes widened slightly, "I don't believe it!"
After a while, the voices of Zhong Diyan and Guo Zi were heard from Unit 1 on the table.
"County Master, I have pressed the open button as you instructed."
"Why do you think the county lord wants us to report the situation to this block?" Guo Zi touched his head, unable to guess Lin Si's intention.
Chun Yi was truly stunned. Her eyes widened. "This...this thing can actually transmit sound over a thousand miles."
Lin smiled faintly at Chunyi and said, "You guys come back with this thing first. I have something to tell you."
What came out from Unit 1 was Guo Zi's voice, which became distorted due to surprise.
"County Lady! Is it the County Lady speaking?! Di Yan, did you hear that? Is it the County Lady's voice coming from this block? Did I hear it right?"
"I heard it, please stop making noise."
Zhong Diyan was a little calmer, and he accepted the magical metal cube faster than Guo Zi.
Under Lin Si's instructions, Guo Zi and Zhong Diyan took this block, which looked very magical in their eyes, to the four newly demarcated counties.
The first place is Min County, which is managed by Yang Yidong.
The timing of their visit was very coincidental, as this former colleague seemed to have just dealt with some disobedient people with an iron fist.
The yamen runners in the county government were all transferred here after the merger, and these people have been completely obedient under Yang Yidong's rule.
Yang Yidong slowly wiped the blood off the crossbow.
When these people saw that she was a young lady serving as the county magistrate, they felt dissatisfied and even joined forces with some local people to try to overthrow her.
What a joke! This is a position that the county lady has high hopes for her. If she can't even handle such a small matter, she might as well die.
She didn't have the patience to play tricks with them, so she just wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Zhong Diyan and Guo Zi both recognized Yang Yidong's abilities. As former colleagues, they did not think that Yang Yidong could do anything wrong.
Guo Zi and Zhong Diyan protected the metal block as if it were a treasure, fearing that it would fall or get damaged.
Guo Zi sighed, "With this thing, I can't imagine how convenient it will be to transmit information in the future."
Zhong Diyan hummed, "That's why the county lady asked us to get familiar with it first."
"The county lady asked what this thing was called. I was just shocked at the time."
"Communicator."
"Oh, communicator, remember."
