Chapter 188: Picking Up a Big Job (Nine Watches, You Know)
Li Shimin's sacred heart was arbitrary, and the next day he announced his decision to set up a governor of Shibo at the court meeting.
The construction of the new palace does not require any money and food from the household department, only needs to assist and cooperate, and Dai Zhou will naturally not oppose it again.
A proposal that had been in the dark for more than a month was finally adopted in a surprising manner.
"Big brother, what do you think of His Majesty's will? What do you think? ”
Yan Liben was appointed by Li Shimin as the master craftsman for the construction of the new palace, and he was the first to move.
"I thought it would take at least a few more months to get a verdict, but I didn't expect it to be decided so quickly. His Royal Highness the King of Chu boasted that the construction of the first phase of the project would be completed within half a year, and in my opinion, this time it ......"
The one who spoke was Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yan Liben's brother.
The Yan family is also a noble family in the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yan Liben's brother was the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his status was prominent.
The Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty was partly designed by the father of Yan Liben's brothers, and in the Tang Dynasty, their two brothers inherited their father's business and were famous craftsmen.
This time to build the new palace, Li Shimin immediately appointed Yan Liben as the general supervisor, which is equivalent to the chief engineer of the project.
"The construction period is too short, and I can get the drawings of the palace out quickly, but the preparation of many materials cannot be completed in a day or two."
Yan Liben was also a big head, and he didn't know how to complete the first phase of the project within half a year.
Although it is the first phase, since the Emperor Taishang wants to live, it is naturally impossible to build only one palace.
"Second brother, in my opinion, you should hurry up and find His Royal Highness the King of Chu, judging from his actions in the past few years, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not as absurd as rumored, maybe he has other ideas."
……
Li Kuan came back with a big job, and the Chu Wangfu immediately became busy, and even Ma Zhou, who was far away in Liangzhou, arranged for someone to summon him back.
The Governor's Office of the City is in charge of all maritime trade matters in the Tang Dynasty, and at present, only Dengzhou is decent, and several other state capitals have not made any movement at all, and the first phase of the project is estimated to be difficult to use the city tax in these places, but the work must start as soon as possible.
The construction of the new palace requires at least more than 10,000 craftsmen and farmers, and although the household department and the Ministry of Industry will assist in the recruitment of these personnel, the most important part is still to be done by the people of the Chu Palace.
The construction involves stones, tiles, green bricks, sand and other materials, all of which need to be prepared by arranging people.
The core cement problem is that Li Kuan is personally leading a group of craftsmen to conduct trial production.
Fortunately, under Li Kuan, there are now Wang Xuance, Shangguan Yi, Xu Jingzong, Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou, Dai Quan, Zhou Fu, Wang Fugui and other high-level people who can be called, otherwise they will really be too busy.
……
The Nanshan Construction Project of the Chu Wangfu is recruiting!
The news quickly spread to the land of Guanzhong through the helpers in the glass workshop, honeycomb coal workshop, mirror workshop, and textile workshop.
In particular, the honeycomb coal workshop originally housed many displaced people from Yongzhou Prefecture, and now a few years have passed, and these people have lived a relatively prosperous life.
The Guanshishan School, the Mengxue School of the Chu Wangfu and the night schools of various workshops built at the beginning made most of the craftsmen and helpers learn to read and write.
Although few people can reach the level of poetry, simple letters are not a big problem.
Especially now that paper is cheaper, the correspondence between Chang'an City and other places is more frequent.
In Liujia Village, Lantian County, early this morning, patriarch Liu Yuan received a letter from Chang'an City.
"You go and call all the family members in the village to the ancestral hall, and the old man has something to announce."
Liujia Village is not particularly large, surrounded by mountains, that is, there are some fields on both sides of the creek, and in the years when the wind and rain are good, it can barely support itself, and if it encounters a disaster year, it can only flee the famine.
"Patriarch, what's going on? I just planted some courgettes in the ground. ”
"Yes, I haven't heard anything recently, why did you suddenly call everyone to the ancestral hall, could it be that the next village is competing with us for water again?"
Liu Yuan still has some appeal in the village, and in less than half an hour, the ancestral hall was full of people.
"Everyone, Liu Dalang just sent a letter, my eldest brother, the son who didn't make it, couldn't survive back then, and fled to Chang'an City, and he came back last year, everyone should still remember it, right?"
Although Liu Yuan is over fifty years old, his voice is very loud.
"Of course we remember, Da Lang also gave our family a piece of whale jerky, which is delicious."
"Yes, what kind of woolen sweater is he wearing, I heard that it is only worn by rich and noble families in the county."
"How can I forget, his sons were about to starve to death, and when they came back last year, they actually said that they were studying in the school."
Everyone was talking, and their eyes were full of envy.
Because of the early death of his parents, Liu Dalang's family has always been miserable, even if there are neighbors who help him from time to time, he eventually becomes a homeless.
As a result, when he returned to Liujia Village again......
The story of Liu Dalang's family is basically a topic that must be talked about after tea and dinner in Liujia Village in the past year, and it can be said to be a household name.
"I just got a letter from Da Lang."
Liu Yuan held up a letter and continued to talk about important things.
"The workshop of the Chu Wangfu recruits a large number of people, young and strong people over fifteen years old and under forty years old, as long as they are healthy, one wants one. Liu Dalang asked me to tell everyone that if you want to go, you should hurry up, and if you go late, there won't be so many people. ”
"Huh? Is the workshop of the Chu Wangfu recruiting people again? ”
"Is it a workshop with Da Lang?"
"Are you going to make that honeycomb coal?"
Although the villagers were very excited, they couldn't help but be a little worried when the opportunity really came.
"The letter did not mention any workshop, but Da Lang emphasized that everyone must listen well." Liu Yuan unconsciously raised his voice.
"Eat three meals a day, 300 yuan a month, and eat meat at least once every three days."
"Huh? Really? ”
"Do you eat three meals a day?"
"Is there really a salary of 300 Wen?"
"Yes...... Got meat to eat? ”
Seeing everyone's stunned reaction, Liu Yuan's face showed a hint of self-satisfaction, he lost his nephew, otherwise such a good opportunity, where would it be his turn to get Liujia Village?
Liu Yuan: "Everyone will go back and pack up today, and those who want to go will gather at the entrance of the village tomorrow." Wealth is in front of you, it depends on whether you can catch it or not. ”
"Why wait until tomorrow? Let's go back now and pack up briefly, and set off immediately, what if it's too late, if people recruit enough people? ”
"Yes, Liu Fang is right, there is nothing to clean up anyway, let's go now!"
