Chapter 200: Building momentum! Reactions from all parties

Xinfeng County, which was originally lifeless, regained its vitality due to Wang Kang's actions.

The recruited migrant workers are coordinated by Nie Zhongxing and placed according to their personal physique, expertise and type of work.

But there were so many people that even Xiaotao brought Wang Kang's maid with her to help temporarily.

Liu Jin, on the other hand, under Wang Kang's arrangement, went to Yangzhou City to make a batch of large purchases. Road construction couldn't be done bare-handed, and tools were definitely indispensable.

Shovels, hand picks, side shovels, etc. are shipped in batches.

Such a battle made all the people in the city understand that Master Kang was not joking, he was going to do something big!

The staff alone has recruited thousands of people, and the employment fees are a huge number.

There are also preliminary preparations and such a large investment. What exactly is Master Kang going to do?

Some people say that Master Kang discovered iron ore again in Xinfeng County.

Some people say that Master Kang is not satisfied with the current residence and wants to build a huge castle in Xinfeng County.

Everyone said his own thing.

This movement also attracted the attention of the surrounding areas. Previously, Xinfeng County was just a barren land with no attention.

But things are different now. Since Xinfeng County has become a fiefdom of the Earl's Mansion, its meaning has also changed.

Not only Dong Yiwu, but also many established nobles have placed personnel here to gather information. They are all watching and want to know.

The Earl of Fuyang's Mansion, which has obtained a fiefdom, can use the fiefdom to develop and grow.

But most people are not optimistic about it, because Xinfeng County is really not a good fiefdom. Except for the iron ore that is not sure whether it exists, there is nothing...

Everyone is talking about the situation outside, but there is no word from the Earl's Palace, everything is proceeding step by step.

Governor's Mansion, Council Hall.

Dong Yiwu looked solemn. After a few days, he finally accepted the fact that it was no longer possible to use bandits to harass Wang Kang.

Even he couldn't believe that the deep-rooted bandits in Xinfeng County were eliminated by Wang Kang in just a few days...

"What do you think Wang Kang wanted to do by creating such a huge battle?" Dong Yiwu looked around the crowd and asked in a deep voice.

"His recruitment notice only said that he would vigorously build, but did not explain what he would do."

"It is said that Wang Kang established the Ministry of Industry in Xinfeng County and appointed himself as the chief..."

After listening to what a few people said, Dong Yiwu slammed the table angrily and said: "I'm asking you what he is going to do now, not listening to your nonsense!"

"Others are fine. What I'm most afraid of is that he discovered iron ore!" Dong Qian said quietly.

"Looking at the fact that he hired a large number of people and purchased equipment and supplies, it's very possible!"

Dong Yiwu looked heavy, "But it shouldn't be. As of the last time we discovered iron ore, it has been completely mined and has been explored. We shouldn't find it again."

"I think he just wants to spend money!"

Zheng Qigong snorted coldly, "I have calculated that he has spent tens of thousands of gold coins purchasing equipment and other equipment from the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce in the past few days."

"Also, the people he hires in Xinfeng County are also very expensive. There is really no place to put the money. That is the fiefdom of the Earl's Mansion. He can recruit them by force."

Zheng Qigong's face was full of disdain, "We still want to vigorously build, Xinfeng County is closed on all sides, and there is only one bad road out, so where can we develop?"

"A prodigal is a prodigal. No matter what, he can't change his nature. With his tricks, Wang Dingchang can't make his money back!"

After hearing this, several people nodded in approval, and then a discordant voice sounded.

"Short-sighted, no wonder you are no match for Wang Kang."

This sound made several people angry. They were about to retort, but they paused because the speaker was none other than Zhang Xianxian, who was sitting in the corner.

They also all know that Zhang Xianxian has a distinguished status and is the daughter of the Governor. They were extremely embarrassed for a moment, but they did not dare to say anything?

"I wonder what Miss Zhang has to say?" Dong Yiwu asked. Xuanping Hou asked her to come because she was asked to deal with Wang Kang.

"In the past few days, I have been to Wang Kang's properties, and even to his heaven and earth, and I went in once in disguise. I have to say, these are all novel and excellent."

Zhang Xianxian said calmly: "In the process, I discovered that this person can never be speculated based on common sense. Everything he does seems absurd, but actually has a profound meaning."

Hearing these words, Dong Qian's face looked a little ugly. He could tell that Zhang Xianxian seemed to appreciate Wang Kang very much in his words.

"So the more impossible thing is what he wants to do!" Zhang Xianxian's beautiful eyes flashed with confidence, "I guess he wants to build roads!"

"Building roads?" Everyone was shocked at the words.

"impossible!"

Yu Xingye shook his head and said: "Building a road? Where did he build it? There is a small road that goes around Dongshan Mountain and passes through two ditches. If we build that road, the distance will be very long, and it will be very difficult to rebuild it."

"That's right," another person echoed: "There is no other way to build. Does he still want to cut mountains and stones?"

"Haha, this is possible. That prodigal son doesn't act according to common sense. With such a large-scale formation, it is really possible to dig into Dongshan!" Zheng Qigong said with a smile.

At this moment, someone walked in from outside. Dong Yiwu saw it and his eyes lit up. This was the person he sent to Xinfeng County to find out information.

"Do you have any news? Tell me directly."

"Not long ago, Wang Kang announced that he would build a road from Xinfeng County directly to Yangzhou City," the man reported.

"Really want to build roads?" After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Xianxian in surprise, and she really guessed it.

On the contrary, Zhang Xianxian looked calm and asked: "Did you tell me where the road construction path is?"

"They say they want to break up mountains and rocks and open up the east mountain!"

"Haha!" Zheng Qigong suddenly laughed and said, "I really guessed it! He really wants to build a road through Dongshan."

"Is this really what Wang Kang said?" Dong Yiwu asked in surprise.

"It's absolutely true. The notice has been posted and there is a warrant written by Wang Kang himself. Now we are carrying out propaganda and mobilization!"

"He is really a...fool!"

Dong Yiwu shook his head and said: "Dongshan is not just one mountain, but a series of mountains. How about digging and building roads? It's just a fantasy!"

"This boy is just wishful thinking, but it is exactly what we want. The manpower, material and financial resources he has invested in building the road here will be immeasurable!"

"Moreover, it cannot be completed in a short time. This will bring down the Earl of Fuyang's Mansion!"

Dong Qian also smiled disdainfully and said: "I thought he could make a difference by winning the fiefdom battle and winning the fiefdom for his family, but now it seems that he has lost his mind and gone crazy."

“The idea of ​​building roads is a good one, but we can’t see the pros and cons!”

"I will take office as the magistrate of Anyi County soon. Anyi County is adjacent to Xinfeng County, so I will let him be my comparison person. Let everyone see how Wang Kang can compare with me, Dong Qian!"

Dong Qian seemed to have regained his confidence. He looked at Zhang Xianxian and invited: "Miss Zhang will come with me then. The flowers are blooming in May, and there is a sea of ​​flowers in Anyi County..."

Zhang Xianxian paid no attention to her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with thoughts and she murmured: "How do you want to build this road?"

No one paid attention to this scene, and then Dong Yiwu asked again: "Can that prodigal son tell you when he will start building roads?"

"He said the groundbreaking ceremony will be held in three days!"

"Okay!" Dong Yiwu slapped the table, stood up and said with a smile: "We will go together then to see how he became a joke!"

"Ha ha!"
