Chapter 212 Reward and Punishment

I realized I had said something wrong because Jesus died on a cross. I likened him to Jesus, as if I was cursing him. Then I changed my mouth and said, be the Lord.

Lao Cheng began to cheer up.

When I asked when I could start teaching, Cheng said he was already preparing to edit the textbooks.In two months at most, literacy education will begin for the entire tribe.

Soon it was time to start again, so I got up and said goodbye.

No doubt, there will be a lot of religion in Cheng's textbook, which I don't want. But the problem is easy to solve.

Elementary education lasts for two to three years on Brass Island and secondary and higher education on Bukgu Island. Textbooks for secondary and higher education can also be compiled by ourselves.

Back at my place, I catch up on some sleep, and I'm always in a rush when I come to Brass Island.

When they were having dinner in the evening, Li Ding hurried back. Went straight to the table and picked up the chopsticks.

"How's the investigation going?"

Li Ding stammered and replied, "It's not bad. It's exactly what he said. I think it's a good place to build a royal city. We just need to transplant some trees along the coast and build a wall so that we don't have to worry about typhoons."

"What is the area?"

"It's half the size of the highlands, but it's enough to build a new royal city."

"Since there is no problem, you and Cui Bin will take 900 people there directly tomorrow. I'll give you a rough plan. You'll have them tomorrow morning." The construction of the new royal city assumes the functions of the capital in the future, and it must be comprehensively improved.

Li Ding nodded and continued to eat.

Lucie ate a little and didn't want to eat, so WHEN I was full, we went back to our room.

With a pen and paper in place, I began to draw. The new royal city was divided into four parts: royal palace, administrative district, residential district and commercial district. Residential and commercial areas intermingle with each other, and some areas are specialized commercial areas that are used to trade with other tribes.

When IT was finished, I showed it to Lucie. "Give me some more advice."

Lucie looked at it for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't mind. I've got it all."

I took out another piece of paper and wrote down the approximate size of each area and the number of houses.

When it was done, Lucie smiled and said, "You're trying to undermine a vassal in a different way."

"You know all that." I didn't think she could see that.

Lucie said, "It doesn't matter. I didn't study too much. But with so many things to do, you should delay looking for Wanxue in the other world for a long time."

"It can't be helped, not arranged. How dare you go to her. I don't want to come back and we're in trouble again." I have done all this is for the sake of the future, is the so-called sharpening of the knife does not mistakenly cut wood workers. But this will make Li Wanxue suffer longer.

"Well, I have a suggestion for you." "Said Lucie, suddenly.

"What?"

"We treated these people better when we built the king's city. We bought people's hearts. Turn them all into professional soldiers by then. Thirty thousand. It's time we had an army like that."

"I have the same idea. They can become soldiers quickly when needed. They can continue to farm when they don't need to. This will not delay."

"And you can't put an army in the hands of one man. Several people will have to be arranged." "You should promote a few more of your cronies among the aborigines," Lucie said.

"It's all true," I thought.

"Then you'll have to add a military camp to your city and build more houses for their families."

"But land is limited there." Just over the hill is another tribe that doesn't have that much land for military families.

"That's not easy." Lucie said, "Give them all the land outside the king's city. They don't farm uncle Cheng anyway. It's all ready-made land, and the king who contributed it would be happy to replace it."

"That's true, but then we have to give Uncle Cheng a little more benefit."

"No more money. Give him grain. Let him not worry about food." "Suggested Lucie.

I pinched her cheek. "What a good wife," I said, "I know everything."

"Yuck." Lucie opened my hand. "I'm not a little girl. Don't ever do that to me again."

I smiled and nodded.

She snuggles up. "Hey, I want that tonight..."

"No, you're pregnant." I said no.

"Oh, it's all right. It's been months. Let's just be careful. I really do." Lucie made a plea: "All my friends had it when they were pregnant and it was fine. Only once in a while. I don't ask for it as often as I used to."

"That..."

"I'm going to take a shower." Lucie got up quickly and walked out.

When we were both in bed, I always felt a little uneasy about her slight bump. She had not changed since her pregnancy, except that her stomach was growing slowly. Physically fit doesn't look like a woman of thirty.

Not daring to push hard, the two men fiddled for an hour. She was so tired that she fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I asked, "Is your stomach okay?"

"Nothing." Lu Qianyao bowed her head: "It's very tired."

"That's good."

After I got dressed, I went out with the new king city plan I had made last night. Cui Bin and Li Ding are mobilizing their troops in the square.

"Fly elder brother, come so early." Li Ding Yang said hello.

"I thought you two were even earlier." I said: "this past, you do a little ah, don't always think about their own little things, or lazy."

"No." Li Ding hey hey smile: "I know this is a big event, absolutely dare not vague."

I gave him the paper and told them to go there and do it according to the geography, but more buildings, not less.

When Cui Bin finished sorting out the team, in the sound of a sheep's horn, they were nine hundred people, carrying a large number of supplies along the newly built road set out.

In front of the other hundred or so, I explained to them what we were going to do next. Arrange for everyone to meet in the square after breakfast and then disperse.

The first thing in a boat is wood. Chopping wood for a few days, of course. But this time I came up with a new idea, to wrap the hull in copper. This will not only make the ship stronger, but also prevent the erosion of Marine plankton.

When I came to the harbor after three days of chopping, I saw hills piled up, with a few trees standing two or three hundred. And they're all wood over 30 centimeters in diameter.

The larger the wood, the smaller the number of planks needed to build the hull, the faster it will be.

Although the indigenous people have seen wooden boats, they still don't know how to make them. I had to spend all day in the harbor as if I were building the first wooden boat.

According to my plan, this time we need to build three boats of the same size as the previous one. In this way, one ship could be used exclusively for trade, one for shipping between the two islands, and the last could be used as a reserve warship.

Survival on an island is impossible without a large ship that can act as a deterrent. For those conjoined canoes made by the First Nations, our ship was an aircraft carrier.

I had thought of building a few smaller wooden boats before, but as time and events have gone by, I think there are no more.

By the tenth day, the first wooden boat was in the final stages of repair, and I was free from the constant overseers.

After a day's rest, I took two women and a retinue to inspect the new royal city. All the way is a wide road, flat ground, all paved with bricks. It's just not the same level of quality. In some places there has been destruction.

When we got there, we saw ten huge kilns standing in line, some of them still puffing smoke.

Zhang Yutong and I walked side by side, pointing to the kilns and said, "Brother Lu Fei, brother Cui Bin is too good, like him to do, no matter how big the city will be built."

"Sometimes I think he's a better king than I am."

"Cui Bin is not fit to be king." Lu Qian said.

"Why?" I asked over my shoulder.
