Chapter 125: Dowry

"The mountains and rivers of my dynasty are more than 108,000 miles, and the official roads of the entire land have been built into concrete roads, and the silver of the treasury cannot support them. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shangguan Xuanyi thought of the emptiness of the treasury, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Xiao'er thought for a while and said, "If the official roads of the entire country are built into cement roads, the project is huge, this is not something that can be done in a moment and a half, and it does take a lot of silver to build roads." However, the road is financial, and this road must be repaired. ”

It is not a simple matter to build the official roads of the entire country into concrete roads, and it consumes huge manpower, material and financial resources.

Although there is a policy in this era that is not available in modern times, that is, the annual slack time to draw strong men to serve in labor.

Paving roads, building bridges, and dredging water conservancy, these tasks are mandatory here, and they are done for free, and even if they are paid, they are very little, just food.

However, it is not the same thing to build a road by labor alone, after all, only one month of labor is served a year.

"Although you can draw strong men during the slack time every year, only one month is not a big deal. I think I can try to maintain the road with the road. Xiao'er remembered the modern road and bridge toir road.

"What kind of cultivation method is to raise the road with the road?" Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao'er and motioned for her to continue.

"Doesn't it cost money to build a road? But after the road is repaired, the road is walked by the people themselves, and the court can first take out the money from this road, and when the road is repaired, a checkpoint will be set up at the exit and entrance of this road, and a toll station will be built. All carriages and horses who want to walk this road have to pay a fee, and the people who walk can do it for free. And the money that had been recovered was returned to the treasury. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Zhaowei's eyes lit up.

"Before the road is built, a notice is posted to inform the people that if they want to repair this road, they will have to pay if they want to go, but the people who have made efforts to repair this road can walk this road for free for life for one person and the whole family, and they can also be free for life if they pay more than 20 taels of silver. I think many people should take the initiative to repair, after all, when the farming is not working, many people are also idle at home. This can also save a lot of wages! Moreover, if someone pays 20 taels, 20 taels is enough to repair a long way. ”

"This method is good, in this way, as long as the road is repaired, then you can earn silver, and after a long time, the road construction will not only not cost the treasury money, but also increase the income of the treasury. Di Zhaowei exclaimed.

"Only collect the cost of carriages and horses, and the people who walk do not collect it, then there is no increase in the burden of the people, and those who have carriages and horses do not lack that little bit of road fees! Carriage and horse fees are charged, and the cost of goods is even more extra!" Shangguan Xuanyi also nodded in agreement, and then he thought of something and continued: "Xiao'er girl, the dividends of the cement workshop will not be given to you." ”

"Cement, my family doesn't want dividends. The words of both fell at the same time.

Shangguan Xuanyi listened to it, and was a little more satisfied with this girl's transparency, but he would not take advantage of her in vain, many things in this world are more useful than silver.

Xiao'er smiled and continued: "Our share will be contributed to the construction of the official road! Dad, what do you think?"

She just contributed a recipe for cement, unlike others, she would design something every month. She also felt that she was taking advantage of the dividends. And she also believes that Shangguan Xuanyi will not cheapen her in vain!

"This is doing things for the villagers, of course there is no problem!" Shen Chengyao hurriedly said, building roads and bridges is a good thing, he is usually very helpful, and now he has the ability to do bigger things, and he will not shirk!

The sale of this cement, Shangguan Xuanyi intends to be completely in the hands of the imperial court before the construction of the main official roads in various places.

So that he will have a way to get some rich people to spit out some silver and come out to build roads!

"Dad, let's pay the money to pave all the roads in the village into cement roads, and then build two drying fields for the people in the village!"

"There are many small potholes on the ground made of cement sand, it is easy to hide the sand, and it is not easy to sweep away, is it good to make a grain drying field?" Although Di Zhaowei had never been in contact with it, he also thought of the shortcomings.

"The cement is directly added with water to make cement oil, and then smeared on the surface of cement sand and gravel with a special shovel, or directly sprinkled on the surface of the cement sand that has just been paved, and then smoothed with a shovel, so that the surface can become very smooth. ”

"Can it still be like this? It's really a good frozen west!"

Cement, reinforced concrete, in the construction industry has a major role, because with it, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, with it a lot of seemingly unbuilt bridges are quietly across the major rivers, to people's lives to bring how much convenience, not a good thing is what!

Xiao'er thinks of modern ceramic floor tiles, decorative tiles on the exterior walls of the house, and mosaics. She had to tell Di Zhaowei about the characteristics of those things and see if his master could study them.

If it can be done, then the building in the town will definitely brighten the eyes of the blind!

Paving roads and building houses, Xiao'er's family is very busy.

Foreman Liang had never been so busy, so busy that he barely had much time to prepare for his own family affairs.

However, Xu Wenhui has suffered too much, he wants to give her more decency, so that people no longer look down on her!

Therefore, the dowry he gave to Xu Wenhui was much thicker than that of ordinary dealers!

Ordinary people, the gift money is only given two or three taels, and the wealthy family will give five taels, but he gave ten taels of gift money.

Jewelry, generally speaking, it is very decent to have a gold hairpin and a gold ring, most people will only give a silver ring, silver hairpin, and some silver hairpins do not have!

Foreman Liang prepared two sets of gold heads, two sets of silver heads, and two pairs of gold bracelets and silver bracelets!

Other cakes, seafood, three livestock, fish, coconut, wine, four Beijing fruits, fruits, four-color sugar, tea, sesame, post box, bucket two rice, incense cannon bracelet gold, everything is complete, the same does not fall, the portion is full!

Many people prepare these things, but they just mean the meaning, and take the meaning!

But some families will also give full ten, to show that the man's family attaches great importance to this family affair and is very satisfied!

The past two years have been difficult, and none of the people in the village who married their daughters have received such a heavy dowry!

Foreman Liang's dowry can be imagined, it was like a thunder on the ground, which exploded several villages!

provoked all kinds of envy and jealousy, sour words!

And the villagers have a new understanding of the family background of the Liang foreman!

Many villagers secretly regretted that they didn't tell her about their daughter when they built a house with him!

Everyone said that Xu Wenhui had fallen into a nest of blessings! A second marriage can have such a great dignity! A marriage is better than a marriage!

Generally, it is too big to make a big decision, and it will take two or three months to welcome the relatives, but after three months, the Liang foreman has to go to Fucheng to repair the road, and he can only advance it!

Xu Wenhui's family is small, and the Liu family has recognized her as a sister-in-law, and has prepared a lot of dowries for her, and copied the return gifts, so these dowry gifts are all placed in Xiao'er's house.

Liu wouldn't want her, but some people wouldn't think so!. )
