Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 50 The Inspector of Youzhou
210 AD.

On the first day of the second month of the lunar calendar, there was a solar eclipse, and there were many discussions among the people. Some people secretly pointed the finger at Cao Cao, thinking that it was Cao Cao's actions to warn the heavens.

Later, Du Fu explained that solar eclipses are caused by celestial phenomena and have nothing to do with people.He was praised by Cao Cao at that time.

However, people with ulterior motives still used solar eclipses to attack Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao should resign from office and become an ordinary citizen.

This forced Cao Cao to express his determination to say: The world is not yet stable, and I, Cao Cao, must never resign from my official position.

However, Cao Cao returned the fiefdom.

During this period, Cao Cao felt the distrust of court officials towards him. Many officials were disobeying him openly or covertly, which made him very uncomfortable.

Therefore, in March of this year, Cao Cao issued the first order to seek talents, ordering to call on officials from all over the country to recommend talented people.

In the winter month, Cao Cao ordered the construction of the Tongque Tower and dispatched a construction team from Yuyang City.

What is different from the history is that the Tongque Terrace built by Cao Cao this time decided to use reinforced concrete construction.

This is a building complex covering an area of ​​200 million square meters, connected by hundreds of houses and pavilions.

In the center of Tongque Terrace, two reinforced concrete buildings will be built.

There are two buildings, one is a reinforced concrete building with a length of 50 meters, a width of 30 meters and a height of ten floors.

The other one has only three floors, but the building area is as high as [-] square meters.

The two buildings are expected to cost 16 billion yuan. Except for the steel bars, other materials will be provided locally in Yecheng to save costs.

To this end, Yuyang also sent many craftsmen to support, such as cement craftsmen, tile craftsmen and so on.

The Tongque Terrace in history was the paradise for the creative activities of Ye literati at that time.

Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Wang Can, Liu Zhuang, Chen Lin, Xu Gan, Cai Wenji, Handan Chun, etc., often gathered in Tongque Terrace to express their hearts with their own pen and ink.

This time, the Tongque Terrace built by Cao Cao was not only a meeting place for literati, but also a place for officials to work and rest.

The ten-storey building is a place to rest. It was suggested by Cao Pi to build for Cao Cao, and it will completely refer to the decoration of the largest restaurant in Yuyang City.

And the three-story building with a construction area of ​​[-] square meters is where officials from various departments in Yecheng work.

----

Youzhou.

Under Zhang Qingfeng's arrangement, the railway from Yuyang Luping to Jicheng began to be fully constructed.
Thousands of reform-through-labour prisoners and tens of thousands of workers were divided into more than a dozen road sections to start construction.

At this stage, it is mainly to build the foundation and prepare materials.

Building a foundation is as simple as laying down a solid roadbed and then laying a layer of sand.

The preparation is to cut down the wood and take the sleepers for the track.

As for the final laying of the rails, it is laid from Luping, because in this way, the rails can be laid while the rails are being laid, and the rails can be transported by rail cars, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

When Li Bai and others returned from Yecheng, the Luquan Railway had already been laid to Yuyang City.

Every day, on both sides of the railway, there will be scenes of countless people watching, which is extremely lively.

In Yuyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory, more than half of the steam train blueprint designed by Zhang Qingfeng has been completed, and it is estimated that trial production will start in a few months.

After Li Bai came back, after the news spread that he was promoted to governor of Youzhou, the people immediately celebrated.

Both ordinary people and local wealthy gentry were very happy.

Especially in other counties and counties of Youzhou outside Yuyang County, several celebrations were held.

Why did Li Bai's promotion make all the places in Youzhou happy?Especially the wealthy gentry, it stands to reason that they should bear grudges against Li Bai.

First of all, Li Bai was a commoner's son. After he became the governor of Yuyang, the officials and officials never recommended the children of the wealthy gentry. This gave the wealthy gentry in Yuyang no chance to become officials. The wealthy gentry should hate him.

When Cao Cao was an official in Jinan, he tried his best to eradicate the brutal and evil forces and select talents fairly.

Because of this, he was hated by the local powerful family. In the end, Cao Cao was afraid of bringing disaster to his family, so he returned home under the pretext of being sick.

People like Cao Cao are afraid of local wealthy families, isn't Li Bai afraid?Why is he not hated by the wealthy family, but still so popular?

Nothing more than two words, interest.

Li Bai's prefect of Yuyang brought great benefits to the local wealthy gentry.

Whether it is to cooperate with wealthy gentry to open workshops and do business, or to sign an agricultural product purchase agreement with wealthy clans, they have brought huge benefits to the local wealthy clans.

As Yuyang County develops faster and faster, the benefits that the local wealthy families can obtain will also increase.

Now that Li Bai has become the governor of Youzhou, the wealthy gentry in Youzhou will benefit even more.

The existence of Li Bai not only did not harm the interests of the local wealthy families, but also allowed them to gain huge benefits, so it is only natural that he is welcomed.

Many people can imagine that with Li Bai's appointment as governor of Youzhou, Jicheng, the center of Youzhou, will usher in a huge development.

For this reason, the land price in Jicheng has risen by more than [-]%.

After Li Bai returned to Youzhou, he stayed in Yuyang for two months, and slowly handed over various government affairs to Yang Shen before taking the post of Governor of Youzhou.

Because Zhang Qingfeng has a lot of work to do, he still needs to stay in Yuyang for a while. He is going to wait for Li Bai to sort out the government affairs in Youzhou before going to Jicheng to help.

However, although Zhang Qingfeng did not go to Jicheng, he also formulated the development direction of Jicheng for Li Bai.

In the future, Yuyang City will be the largest industrial zone in Youzhou, and Jicheng will become a commercial zone.

There is also Quanzhou, which will become the largest seaport city in the north.

On this day, the trial production of the artillery at Yuyang Military Factory was successful, and Zhang Qingfeng will visit the test firing of the artillery.

The cannon is a weapon that Zhang Qingfeng has only recently produced.

The reason why the cannons were brought out was mainly because the ship running the southern sea trade was besieged by pirates on the southern coast, and dozens of people were killed or injured.

So Zhang Qingfeng wanted to transform the Galen ship into an armed merchant ship.

As long as there is artillery, no ship in this era can do anything to it on the sea.

The test firing of the artillery went very smoothly, and soon, dozens of artillery pieces were transported to Quanzhou Port by tank boats, and then equipped on two Galen merchant ships.

At this time, the Quanzhou Shipyard was building the third Galen ship.

At the same time, next to No. [-] Dock, No. [-] Dock to No. [-] Dock are also under construction.

After these docks are built, Quanzhou Shipyard will be able to build ten ships at the same time.

In Yuyang City, Zhang Qingfeng is also designing a gunboat that can fight on the inland river. This is a gunboat that can carry more than [-] cannons, and its combat effectiveness is quite powerful.

…………

Time entered the summer, and a mighty fleet came to Youzhou from Yecheng.

On this day, Youzhou governor Li Bai and the governors of various counties received the fleet in Jicheng with great ceremony.

It turned out that Cao Cao came to Youzhou.
