I'm Going Both Ways On Game Of Thrones

Chapter 342 dredging the river

Of course, the consumption of cement and steel is also a lot.

The money for cement and steel bars is not a problem for Jason Liu at all.

In the past three months, Yuansen Trade made nearly 1.2 billion yuan just from selling logs.

No matter Hyundai or Westeros, Jason Liu has plenty of money in his hands.

Therefore, he dared to keep recruiting people on a large scale from the north side, as well as Hejiandi and other places.

The more manpower, the faster the construction of ports and cities.

"My lord, I brought back the sailor you want to recruit!"

The dusty Kent trotted over with a look of excitement that couldn't be concealed on his face.

Jason Liu turned his head and saw more than a dozen people wearing black and gray coarse cloth, with dark faces and dark skin not far away, leaning towards the building, looking in awe.

"Good work! How is it, Kent, is this trip to White Harbor going well?" Jason Liu patted Kent and offered his condolences to the boy.

After all, it took more than 800 kilometers to go to White Harbor from the side of Lake Saylor, and Kent was exhausted.

Reassured by Lord Jason, Kent felt that the hard work along the way was worth it.

"According to your request, I led people to publicize the news of recruiting sailors at the Baigang Wharf, and immediately many sailors and fishermen came to inquire about the news...

Kent said excitedly, "You don't know, my lord, when I said the monthly salary of 12 silver deer was 200, those sailors' eyes were red, and they wanted to come here to work for you immediately!"

Jason Liu was not surprised, smiled slightly, "Late? Did they trust you so easily?"

"That's right, as soon as I heard that it was Earl East, you were recruiting people. Those sailors and fishermen from the wharf all came around. Who told you to buy a large amount of grain and vegetables from Baigang City during this time? White Harbor City knows your reputation for generosity, kindness, and justice!"

Kent said with a very proud face, feeling that his own adults were famous, and their subordinates were also honored.

Hearing Kent say this, Jason Liu is not surprised.

In order to provide food, drink and clothing for the small population of 20,000 people at the construction site of Saylor Lake, there is an endless stream of caravans from Baigang City every day. The 400-kilometer road from Saylor Lake to White Harbor is several times busy.

Because he pays the workers high wages, these workers don't have to worry about food every day, and if they have money in their hands, they dare to spend.

The merchants and hawkers of the nose were immediately outside the camp, separated by a few hundred meters, and spontaneously formed a lively market.

After leaving work every day, the idle workers, carrying the salary of 12 silver deer issued last month, walked around the market with their families, picking and choosing and buying a lot of things.

The consumption potential of tens of thousands of people has naturally made those merchants and hawkers a lot of money, which has also attracted more small merchants in Baigang City to gather here.

Jason Liu just sent soldiers to patrol the spontaneously formed market to maintain order and prevent any forced buying or selling, and some people making trouble.

Jason Liu walked up to the dozen or so sailors that Kent had brought, and Dick followed closely with the Guardsmen to escort him.

Seeing this young adult in gorgeous and noble clothes coming over, those sailors who have been sailing at sea all year round, with dark skin and fairly strong stature, immediately bent down deeply, with a look of timidity on their faces.

"Is there only a dozen or so people?" Jason Liu looked at the people in front of him, dissatisfied with the number, too few.

Kent replied quickly, "Sir, these are old sailors, and some are fishermen. They have one or two small boats in their own homes, and they also have a few sailors under them, and some even take a few sons to work as sailors on the boat. This time, I just want to see how many you plan to recruit, and if there are more, they can bring their sailors and their sons here."

It seems that these (baah) people are head sailors, or heads of households among the fishermen, and have staff under them.

"Are you familiar with this Bairen River? Have you ever sailed along this river from Baigang to Lake Saylor?" Jason Liu glanced at the dozen or so cowering sailors, slowed his tone, and said warmly. said.

The sailors made a commotion, several people pushed each other, and then a man with gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face was pushed out.

"Respected lord, the villain's name is Cetranth.

This sailor named Seth, who looks to be in his fifties, first bowed deeply and saluted, and then answered cautiously, "The little people you mentioned in the White Blade River are a little familiar, and they used to drive small boats along this road. The river went to the Sailor Lake for fishing, just because the Bairen River from the Sailor Lake to the Baigang section, there are several dangerous reefs in the river, only small boats can pass, big boats can't get in,,,

Before Seth came, he had already inquired about the side of Lake Sayre, that the Earl of Star City was leading people to build a port, and he naturally thought that this Lord Earl was probably planning to connect the Bairen River waterway of Lake Sayre with White Harbor. , to facilitate merchant shipping.

Compared with the low-volume and slow-speed land road, the water transportation has a large volume and a faster speed.

It's just that the 400-kilometer-long river from Saylor Lake to Baigang has reefs in several places, and the river is rushing. Generally, big boats don't dare to go here, otherwise the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

Jason Liu nodded, which was similar to what he had learned. There are indeed many reefs in the river that reached Baigang, so no one dared to take such a convenient river.

But he is not afraid, as long as the reefs in these rivers are removed, this section of the river can go from the port of Sailor Lake to Baigang, and then enter the sea, and the freight is very convenient.

Of course, dredging the river and removing the reefs must take a lot of effort and money, which is why no one was willing to dredge the river before.

But Jason Liu doesn't care, he has money.

"I plan to recruit all of you and your sailors. The larger the number of people, it is agreed that I will clean up all the reefs in the Bairen River from Sailor Lake to Baigang. The port enters the Saylor Lake along the White Blade River."

Jason Liu repeated his request, then looked at the sailors, "How is it, can you do this job?"

Hearing the request of the young earl, these sailors suddenly looked at each other.

It was Seth who opened his mouth and whispered, "Sir, if you want to dredge the river, it will cost a lot of money and a lot of manpower. This,,, this must cost a lot."

Jason Liu waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about money! I will pay for all the expenses myself, you can go back to Baigang City to recruit more sailors. According to 12 silver deer per person per month, everyone will be provided with room and board, as soon as possible. Let me smash all the rocks that are in the way in this section of the river, and dredge the river."
