In mid-March, Xingchenling made a big move again, which made everyone know. Xingchenling was also very famous in the past. Under the coverage of Xingchen Monthly, the civilians in the city knew that there was such a place, a young grand duke named Jiang Xingchen. But now, even the civilians in small territories and villages know Xingchenling.

The money-making plan was successfully launched, and Jiang Xingchen was under greater pressure. Not only did he need to train craftsmen, but he also needed a lot of labor to lay the light rail.

Jiang Xingchen once thought about asking major forces to find laborers during construction. But then he thought, he would forget it. If that were the case, the price would definitely be lowered when signing the specific contract. It would be difficult to distinguish the responsibilities if there was a problem in the future.

Therefore, Jiang Xingchen recruited people across the empire, especially small villages. There were a large number of idle villagers there. Now there were oxen and chariots in farming, which had liberated a lot of labor.

"Where is Xingchen Collar?" The villagers who rarely leave the village did not know Xingchen Collar at all. Many people didn't even know the words. When they heard the literate people read out the contents on the flyer, they all asked such questions.

"Xingchen Leader! Xingchen Leader is a territory of the empire, very, very rich... Now they are going to summon a large number of workers, and the recruitment content is written on this list?" The literate person was holding a large handful of flyers in his hand, like a treasure. The villagers didn't know, but they knew that this was paper, expensive paper. Even if the words had been written, there were still many blank spaces on it.

"What do laborers mean?" the villagers asked again.

"Labor means working for others. If you work for others, they will give you money!" explained the literate person.

"Work, give money..." The villagers didn't know anything else. But they knew money, that was something to live. After hearing this, their eyes lit up: "How much can they pay?"

"The above said that food and accommodation are in charge, forty yellow crystal coins a month!"

"How many?" A group of villagers' eyes were almost glaring out. Forty yellow crystal coins were used, and they could not earn so much in a year of farming. This is a time when there are high-quality new seeds now, and there is no drought or flood.

"Forty yellow crystal coins a month. Oh my god! That's too many!"

"I still care about food and accommodation. Not all of the forty yellow crystal coins have been left!"

"You know a lot of words. Don't lie to us. Do you think this is credible?" The cautious villagers asked the literate person.

"That's it! I don't think there is such a good thing!"

"Hmph!" The literate man was unhappy and shook the flyer on his hand and asked, "What do you know this?"

"I don't recognize it!" the villagers shook their heads.

"This is called paper. Now there is eight pieces of yellow crystal coins sold in the city! If it is placed two months ago, one yellow crystal coins cannot be bought... People use this thing to send it out, do you say they are rich? If you don't believe it, please turn around and ask the servants of the Baron's family, their family may not have this thing!" said the literate person disdainfully.

"Actually, I'll tell you extra, how good I'll go by myself! How many people want to go to Xingchen to get a job? It's said that people have meat in their meals..."

"There is meat!" Many villagers were drooling, and they couldn't eat a meal of meat all year round.

"I'll go, I'll go..." Many people rushed to stand up.

"You guys go, you've all gone. Whoever planted the dealer, it's almost spring plowing!" Someone immediately objected.

"The baron has cows and carts. There are no one using so many people, my wife and son are enough! It's 40 yellow crystal coins a year, and I still care about meat. I won't go!"

"Hmph!" The literate person spoke again: "This time Xingchen recruits more than 100,000 people, but the order has been sent across the country. I don't know how many people will go there! If you can't choose it, hehe, then you will be in vain for travel expenses!"

"Ah?" The villagers were stunned...

Such a situation can be seen in small villages all over the country. Xingchen led a lot of effort this time. The leaflets covered almost 70% of the villages in the country. The cost alone cost 500,000 yellow crystal coins.

The lords of the village are very supportive of Xingchentang's recruitment. Now spring farming does not require so much labor. Instead of letting these people do nothing at home, it is better to go to Xingchentang to work.

In late March, the next day after the flyer was sent, a large number of villagers left home and headed to Xingchen to collect. It has to be said that people are gambling. Although they know that there is a risk of not being able to choose, the appeal of losing forty yellow crystal coins a month is too great, and of course they can also eat meat.

Most of the people who went to Xingchen to recruit workers this time were villagers from the villages. The number of civilians in the city was much smaller. Now major territories are under construction, and there are a large number of work locations waiting for them. There are a lot of forty yellow crystal coins a month, but it is not worth running so far...

Just when Xingchen Leader made a big move again, the Emperor asked the second prince seriously: "Is this light rail road really so good?"

"Yes!" the second prince nodded and said, "I have analyzed that the imperial capital has a huge demand for materials. If the imperial capital is regarded as the end point of material gathering and four light rail roads are spread around, the efficiency will be greatly improved, and merchants will also rush to use it, and they will definitely make a lot of money!"

"What about Jiang Xingchen's railway plan?" asked the emperor.

"Jiang Xingchen said that these are two different things! But there was no explanation!" The second prince replied in a normal manner.

"Is this just an over-plan?" The emperor frowned and pondered for a moment: "Have you calculated how much money it will cost for 1.800 meters of yellow crystal coins?"

"Let me forget it. If we build four light rails, it will be about 600 miles, 300,000 meters, and a total of 480 million yellow crystal coins!" said the second prince.

"480 million!" The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Take my hand order to find the old marquis. We will spend 480 million!"

The second prince smiled, bowed and turned around and ran out.

The emperor stood up and whispered: "If the train is really as Jiang Xingchen said, plus these light rail transportation lines and that long road, the empire's transportation will be greatly improved..."

At the same time, Yueying, Daqin, Dali and some territories of the empire have already chosen routes, and they are basically places where materials gather.

In the Eight Kingdoms and Xuanyuan Tianzong, several emperors shook their heads regretfully. They wanted to secretly imitate such rails because they realized that this thing was too convenient to transport military supplies.

However, without a steel rolling mill, how could they imitate it? They could only comfort themselves. It would be better if they did not imitate it, so as to avoid the Qiankun Empire's attack on intellectual property rights.

In the end, they had to choose a good transportation route and notify Xingchenling.

Xingchen Leader, Jiang Xingchen has returned and is studying the transformation of the carriage in the house. First of all, the carriage must be four-wheeled, so that the carrying capacity is much higher than that of two-wheeled ones. In addition, he is trying to study containers of uniform specifications. This can make transportation more efficient. In addition, this thing is also needed in the future.

"It's almost done, let's go back to SF Express! But the container needs to be waited for the steel plant to get up and make it with thin steel plates to reduce the burden on horses as much as possible..."

Jiang Xingchen put down his pen and was thinking about his future work. Meier pushed the door and walked in: "Brother, news has been heard from all over the place, and many people are on the way. How are you preparing? If the recruiting workers cannot leave immediately, our territory will not be able to stay!"

"A lot of planned routes have been sent. The process for Mr. Duan's place has been completed, and technicians are being trained... Now there is only the Dachen Kingdom left!" Jiang Xingchen said.

"Brother, you really asked Emperor Chen for Minggang City! He wouldn't agree. He ignored your first letter... If you can't change to another place!" Mei'er advised.

Jiang Xingchen smiled and shook his head: "No! You must have to use Minggang City... It is a superior geographical location, not only a port, but also a middle position of major forces. It is best to use it to develop industry... I did not pursue him before and invest in the Eight Kingdoms and expel the Han family, just to use it as a condition now... Besides, all I want is thirty years of use, not to steal him!"

Mei'er was speechless. She opened her mouth and asked for the right to use a port city for 30 years. This is not a robbery.

"But brother, Da Chen has never sent a letter. He must have disagreed with your proposal!"

"Haha, give him some time and he will agree..."

When Jiang Xingchen was full of confidence, Emperor Chen was almost mad!

"Jiang Xingchen, you robber, are too bullying!" Emperor Chen slapped the letter paper in his hand on the table, and was so angry that he was panting, his head was almost smoking.

In fact, he always wanted to ease relations with Jiang Xingchen and the Qiankun Empire. Last time he stood on the side of the Eight Kingdoms and offended the Qiankun Empire and Jiang Xingchen too fiercely. Now the Qiankun Empire is so powerful that Jiang Xingchen is at its peak. He is worried about revenge and lives in fear every day. The more Jiang Xingchen doesn't speak, the more he is afraid.

If Jiang Xingchen proposes some conditions this time, he will be unhappy to agree, and it would be best if he can resolve this hatred.

But he never expected that Jiang Xingchen would have to use Minggang City for 30 years with his mouth, and the requirement was too much. Minggang City was very rich and was also a top-ranked person in Dachen. It was also a port city. How could he be willing to give Minggang City to him?

However, when he thought of Jiang Xingchen's methods and the pressure of the Qiankun Empire, he was a little confused, afraid that he would catch Jiang Xingchen and that the Qiankun Empire's soldiers would be in a dilemma.

In this way, he was always worried about gains and losses, unable to pay attention and unable to make up his mind. Therefore, he did not give Jiang Xingchen news.

Now he saw the second letter, which said that the service life had increased to fifty years. He was strangely furious and felt that he had been greatly humiliated.

"If you don't give it to him, you can't give him Minggang City even if you beat him to death!" Emperor Chen's blood rushed to the top, temporarily suppressing his fear.

At this moment, a guard ran to the door and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please believe me!" (To be continued)
