Chapter 527: The Li Family of Zhao County

When Su You saw the scaffolding next to the city gate building for the first time, four words immediately appeared in his heart - work for relief!

The Li family of Zhaojun is talented!

However, this is also based on the masses, the prestige of the Li family of Zhaojun and the reputation of the Hezhong Mansion are probably only higher than the reputation of the Su family in Meishan.

That's why everyone listened to the old man's words like this, and until the disaster relief was over, there was no scramble among the people to steal materials, and the streets and alleys were very stable.

There is absolutely nothing to say about the ability, Sima Guang and Su You entered the city, and the old man introduced all the way: "Yingzhou and Khitan envoys, the imperial court replied quickly to the old man's report, and I requested in July to transfer manpower from the surplus soldiers around Yingzhou, and a part of the reserve timber from the river disaster, and 10,000 yuan to buy timber from all over Zhending." ”

"Since the peace between the two countries, Yingzhou's previous defensive equipment has long been abandoned, and this time it is just the right time to turn harm into benefit and rectify it."

"The new city is fifteen miles in radius, and on the city wall there are towers to defend against the enemy, and 4,600 war tents."

"The main entrance, which used to be too narrow and crude, has now been enlarged."

"These projects started in July and are scheduled to be completed in October, and there are still some finishing touches that have not yet been completed."

"Next, I will send manpower to repair the north-south passage of Yingzhou, continue to work for relief, and stabilize the place."

Along the way, Su You found that the people's houses had been repaired, but the state government was still grass-roofed, and only simple repairs had been made.

Sima Guang admired all the way, and introduced to Su You: "Back then, Gongyi repaired the Guan's embankment for the Daimyo's Mansion, and the work was disturbed, and the people were pleased, please slaughter; Henglong's decision, guarding the golden embankment, there is no river disaster at the end of the year; Through the judgment of Lanzhou, the dove construction of the city house in the thousands of districts, the nobles came to see, the regulations were new, the appreciation was strange, and the smell was in the court. Mingrun, ask for more advice, it will be beneficial. ”

Several small ones were already stunned by Yingzhou New Town, and Su You hurriedly gave up his hand: "Mr. Dacai, Zheng Guozi was born back then, Wei Guowen Gong, the disaster relief measures were appropriate, and the people praised him." The master recorded in "Poems", which has been passed down for centuries. The virtue of Mr. today will also be praised. ”

The old man said with a smile: "Zhao Jun Su family Qianliju, I have heard of it for a long time, your reputation among the Yi people is not ordinary." ”

Su You hurriedly waved his hand: "Ah Lie is talking nonsense, right?" ”

The old man smiled: "Ah Lie may be talking nonsense, Tang Jie Tang Zifang is also talking nonsense?" ”

Su You then remembered that Old Man Tang had been an official in this area before he entered Beijing, and he also burned the Liao people's village.

The old man said: "Junshi is exaggerating, I build and relieve the disaster, in fact, it is just four simple words - pay according to work." ”

"This is the reason why he has served as a river worker, mobilized people's strength, and provoked resentment and slander."

"If the wages given are fair enough and enough for the people's livelihood, and everyone is too late to compete for service, where will there be any complaints?"

"Ouyang Gong and the River Canal Division have such a big difference in the cost of the Liuta River Project, because the River Canal Division wants to use the method of Ding Labor, and they don't think of giving these labor money at all!"

"The person who works hard will give two liters of rice and one tael of salt a day, which is the minimum. But in the Great Song Dynasty, the lower limit is regarded as the upper limit in the local government, and all kinds of deductions are made on this bottom line, plus the officials go up and down their hands, and when they reach the hands of Lifu, I am afraid that most of them will be folded. ”

"How can this income live? In addition, those who went to serve hundreds or thousands of miles away had to bear their own expenses along the way, and countless people died of breaking their families, so everyone heard that the color of the service changed. ”

"In fact, after the catastrophe, if the transportation is done properly, it is the opportunity to revitalize the army."

"First, manpower is concentrated, and there is no livelihood, so I can live by labor."

"After the second flood, there are many places that need to be repaired by the imperial court, and the amount of work is also large, and these people just need to solve the urgent need."

"Those who rely on it are officials who cannot be exploited, and the government cannot be discredited, and the transfer is timely, and what is given is generous."

"Because after a year and a half, these people will have to return to their hometowns, so they still have to keep some savings."

"Local officials, there is one more word 'slack', I don't feel bad on weekdays, but it's really a situation like this year in Hebei, slacking off for a month, and the New Year is the end of starvation all over the country, I can't help but be anxious."

Sima Guang took a deep breath: "The old man will make a statement tonight about the measures of the public ceremony and the plan discussed in the Daimyo's Mansion, and report it to His Majesty and the center. ”

Su You arched his hand and said, "Gong Li, where do these expenses come from?" ”

Li Suzhi said: "The question is on the point, Hebei is heavily defended to Liao, and all kinds of materials and weapons are piled up, but they can't be used on weekdays. ”

Su You pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked Sima Guang: "Bachelor, you said that you have been sentenced to Yunzhou?" ”

Sima Guang nodded: "Yes." ”

Su You asked: "Yuncheng should produce coal and iron, have you ever seen it when you were in Yuncheng?" ”

Sima Guang said: "That was a long time ago, I know that there is iron, but the iron households use pine charcoal, forty or fifty people in Daye, twenty or thirty people in Xiaoye, if you count the extraction of ore, carbon production, it is more than that." ”

"However, I heard that the risk is extremely high, these are official and expensive, and the furnace is often not ventilated, or although the wind road is open, the smelting cannot be completed, then it has to be restarted, and the restart is not made up, so the wealthy businessmen and giants who are broken are not one or two households."

Su You thought about another problem, the Ming Dynasty began to use northern coal to smelt iron, and the cast iron cannon was very easy to explode because of the high sulfur content, and I don't know what the effect will be after its own coking.

However, even if you can't make cannons, knives, guns and arrows, it is much better than transferring them from Bianjing.

Later generations of Dongping, but an important iron-producing area, the location is now in Yuncheng on the edge of Liangshanbo, there is iron and coal, as well as the limestone for making cement, better than later generations, there is still a large amount of water sources there, there is a large lake with a radius of 400 miles, it is simply a unique industrial base!

Xuzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, "since ancient times, it has been gathered by iron officials and businessmen, and its people are rich and happy. ”

If Hebei can solve the problem of weapons by itself, the pressure of Caoyun will be reduced a lot, and Yuncheng will be developed, I am afraid that it will not be another Xuzhou and Wangzhou! Radiating Hebei, it should be more than enough!

If you find a few salt farms by the sea and a cement drying pond, it will be a kind of money......

Li Suzhi saw that Su You fell into a trance, and he also knew the ability of this baby to turn stones into gold: "Mingrun, this is the strategy to think of Hebei?" ”

Su You came back to his senses at this time: "Oh, I just came to a wild idea, but the river is not cured, everything is in vain, let's take care of the present." ”

The next day, Sima Guang took Shi Wei's team of monks and Taoists to inspect the construction site of the city wall, check whether the workers' food and lodging were as Li Suzhi said, and at the same time also comfort the widows and the young, distribute medicines, and guide hygiene.

After several disaster reliefs, now Daxiangguo Temple and Tianshifu have formed unified epidemic prevention rules, as for personal hygiene rules, Su You asked the talents of Kezhentang to make up a simple and easy-to-understand song, called "Epidemic Escape Song".

Seeing that Shi Wei was really too busy, Su You was embarrassed to ask her to accompany him, so he had to set off with the Kind Friendship and Surveying Team.

Needless to say, the hard work and tediousness of the whole way, when the fleet arrived at Le Shousi, a small boat sailed over, and a person on the boat shouted loudly: "Is there a Eunuch Su on board?" ”

Su You was bending down to look at the hourglass, and when he heard this, he straightened up: "Who?" ”

The boat approached, but it was an internal official, nodding and not daring to get on the boat: "Villain Cheng Fang, the official family has just promoted the deputy envoy of the Xijing Zuozang Treasury, and is now the governor of Tuntian, Hebei." ”

Su You greeted: "I've heard of it, so get on the big boat and talk." ”

The internal officer was still a little afraid and asked in a low voice, "Is the bachelor on the ship?" ”

Su You said: "The bachelor is in Yingzhou, why do you want to see him?" ”

Cheng Fang's face turned white, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I mean...... It's good not to be there. ”
