Chapter 304: The Sewers
"At present, it is only a simple house, you can protect it from the wind and rain, you can collect tall grass plants such as reeds, dry it, and you can make thatched houses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info tells everyone that these houses are only lived in for a month. If you can do it yourself, do it yourself. Send some people to teach those children. There are only children who are not capable, and we help them do it...... By the way, there are also those who are injured, help them get up first. Remember to tell them that this is a temporary residence. Don't worry about us abandoning them......"
Qian Rujun said to the people who came to ask for instructions in his tent. Those who have been instructed to retreat are commanded to withdraw. Soon, a few more people came in.
"Princess ......"
These people are county guards and county magistrates. The counties here are only small counties with a population of less than 5,000. However, the three counties have now been merged into one. But the county order of the place has not yet been downsized, and it is estimated that Qian Rujun will be this wicked person, and he is also a good person.
Because of this, the three county orders asked Qian Rujun for help, and they didn't want to stay in office, but wanted to change places. Because of this, the princess's mansion that Qian Rujun was looking forward to had no follow-up.
Today, these three people, plus the county guard, just want to ask Qian Rujun about the princess's mansion.
These three prefectural orders are also very difficult, and it is not right to do things well or not.
is also because of their attitude, so Qian Rujun is very unkind to see them. For her, this county order is not the best, and it is best to replace it with her own people, but the affairs of the court still have to be decided by the court, and she can't go beyond her authority to arrange this matter.
Of course, if she has a good relationship with the imperial court, she can express her wishes in private, and think about what Princess Tao wants to do, and what official dares to obstruct it!
Qian Rujun knew the objective conditions, and she had no way to obtain the status of the chief princess of the pavilion. After all, the only people who know her importance are the emperor himself and the crown prince, and at most one Liang Wang, Liang Wu. But they don't want people to know why they value Qian Rujun. This is because the imperial court did not pay as much attention to Qian Rujun, the emperor's goddaughter, as it did to the official royal members.
However, ignoring also has the benefit of neglecting, Qian Rujun doesn't want the local government to keep an eye on her income!
After a brief conversation with the county guard, Qian Rujun politely asked the county guard to go back to see his home. Of course, Qian Rujun also knows the truth of human relations. It won't be particularly big, after all, many things still need the cooperation of the county guard.
Therefore, Qian Rujun gave the county guard Chang'an a famous property. A stack of white paper, a few pieces of cotton cloth and silk. Then send a basket of space fruits. In order to make the county guard pay attention to this basket of fruits, Qian Rujun specially selected rare varieties of Dahan, at least, lychees, longans, and mangoes, which are not common in the north and are not in season now.
As for the space tea, because the space hills have just been formed, and the tea trees have not yet grown fully, Qian Rujun did not send the space cloud tea for the time being.
These teas really have to be tasted special, but they can't be boiled with the tea cooking method of the Han Dynasty.
Tea will also be the characteristic of Jinmaicheng in the future.
Without the princess's mansion, Qian Rujun could only live in a tent, but fortunately, the tent in the form of a yurt was originally a house in the desert area and could be lived in for a long time. Only if it is repaired, it is not a problem to use it for more than ten years. And Qian Rujun's Jinmai City does not need to spend so much time to build.
Although there is no way to start a new life immediately, Wu Wen and others who have received a job are still quite happy. Because this city was built by their own hands. They will be involved in the whole process. And in the part of the work they are involved in, they are able to make suggestions.
Wu Wen is a pharmacist and has nothing to do with engineering. Qian Rujun knew his expertise, and he also told his subordinates to investigate everyone's expertise. Useful skills should not be wasted and treated as ordinary labor.
Wu Wen's pharmacist shop was approved to open for the first time. He gave priority to a temporary thatched hut. And workers can be hired on a priority basis.
The people who also have this treatment are not only Wu Wen, but also many people who open restaurants. Including Qian Rujun's chefs, they all have the right to open their businesses.
Qian Rujun pays all the workers, so these people, who have money, can eat extra food.
Of course, Qian Rujun also provides a big pot of rice with a construction site.
Rice, corn, sorghum rice, steamed buns, Qian Rujun is buying grain produced nearby. Vegetables, on the other hand, are supplied by space. However, Qian Rujun opened up a vegetable field for the first time. And take out the space black soil to cultivate. Therefore, after more than ten days, you can provide vegetables from the space without Qian Rujun.
As for the people who buy vegetables, Qian Rujun is completely the one who was brainwashed by her and taught them the common sense of life again. Because Qian Rujun found that people who have been brainwashed will have a natural loyalty to her.
It is not easy for a city to complete sewer and drainage works. It stands to reason that if Qian Rujun wants to build a princess's mansion, he can ask the government to transfer people to serve in force. But Qian Rujun didn't want to do that.
However, there are not many people here, and it is difficult to invite workers. The most important thing is that the landlord refuses to let people go, and the work on the construction site, in the eyes of the peasants, is not a long-term livelihood.
You know, even if they become workers, they still have to pay all kinds of taxes, all the less.
Speaking of the Han Dynasty, although it is said that the whole world is not the king's land, but in operation, it is still private ownership of land.
Qian Rujun has come all the way and knows that there are many big landlords, and they are no longer as big as Liu Bancheng and Zhao Banxian. Often, the land spanned several states. However, as long as you are not an official, you should pay the tax, and you still have to pay it. It doesn't seem like there is much political right.
But in fact, these people are not stupid, and local officials have basically been corrupted and manipulated. Some powerful rich people have basically turned officials into their puppets. However, it is not absolute, if an official has the opportunity to be promoted, this rich man may be countered by officials.
After listening, Qian Rujun was a little speechless. But in Dahan, without any political rights, even if he earns a lot of foundation, he can be wasted at any time.
When making sewers, Qian Rujun asked them to bury a kind of water pipe. After thinking about it for a long time, Qian Rujun still didn't choose the bamboo pipe. Because after being buried in the ground, it is not easy to dig it out. And the bamboo pipe decays relatively quickly.
So Qian Rujun asked them to make cement pipes first, and flow down the opening at a fixed distance, but bury them in the ground.
And the blacksmith was asked by Qian Rujun to create a kind of extension of gold. In this era, although gold was valuable, it was not so valuable that it could not be used.
And the copper of this era is the basis for making copper coins, and if it is made into wires, it is estimated that the government will come to find trouble. After all, there are only a limited number of places where copper can be produced in Dahan. In fact, four baht is not enough. The absence of a currency sufficient for trading is a constraint on the development of commerce.
