Chapter Seventy-Nine: Focus on Cultivation
"If you can use 400 people at a time, it can be completed in half a year."
After leisurely putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Yuanjia said with a smile: "That is to say, one winter is enough, and it will not delay next year's spring ploughing at all." However, if only 200 people are available, in order not to affect the normal cultivation, I am afraid that the whole project will have to be divided into two sections, and the time will have to be delayed until the next year. ”
Dig the trunk first, then those branches.
While talking, Li Yuanjia also secretly complained about this damn work efficiency!
The small county town with a big fart didn't say that it was going to pave roads and build bridges or anything, but it was just digging a few deep ditches and then building some flowing water passages with stones. And most of them are branches that don't need to be too deep and thick, and the really thick main pipes add up to a kilometer?
At least for now, the plan is this.
Moreover, the sewer system of this era, in fact, Li Yuanjingai never thought that it would be built in all directions as in the future, as long as it can roughly cover the entire urban area, it is enough to achieve the most basic purpose; In addition, both the structure and the details were designed by Huang Zhongliang and Li Yuanjia together, not to mention the low requirements, the amount of work is really not too big.
If you want to put it in the future, the tenth person will do his best for a month, how can he finish it?
But in the first half of the year, 800 people had to work for half a year to dig a few ditches for a large town, and roughly lay masonry pipes, and if only 400 people could be used, they would have to work for two winters in a row......
But even if he was full of complaints, Li Yuanjia could only endure it.
In terms of this work efficiency, there are two prerequisites that require a lot of investment from him - one is that dozens of strong men who have done a sewer project in King Xu's mansion are brought to work every day, otherwise I am afraid they really can't even dig the ditch neatly; The second is to create handy tools for the workers, such as iron picks, shovels or something, otherwise with the broken things in their hands, they don't know how long it will take to work a ditch!
As soon as he thought of this, King Yu was full of unhappiness.
However, after listening to his implicitly dissatisfied words, Luzhou Beijia Chen Lin's hand shook, and the goat's milk in the cup almost spilled: "Four hundred people, it can be completed in just half a year?" So fast? ”
“…… Fast? ”
The muscles in his cheeks shook uncontrollably, and Li Yuanjia was really speechless.
However, he could also understand Chen Lin's thoughts, so he quickly recovered, nodded and said: "The reason why it can be so fast is that the key lies in three points, first, the palace will send at least forty people, divided into two shifts, and take turns to work with those people. They have all participated in the construction of the Luzhou Government Office more or less before, so they can tell you what to do; Second, all the necessary masonry will be prepared before the start of the project, and my people will arrange everything; Thirdly, I will have people build some tools in advance, and with them it will naturally speed up a lot. ”
"Tools?"
I just listened carefully before, but when I heard the last point, Chen Lin felt a sigh in her heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"yes, some handy tools."
Smiling slightly, Li Yuanjia picked up the teacup again: "After all, the ground is hard in winter, and without good tools, the speed will naturally be very slow...... Chen Beijia, this time I'm afraid I'm going to bother Ling Gongzi again. ”
“…… Hehe, being able to share the worries of the king is a blessing for the dog! ”
After his eyelids jumped several times, Chen Lin smiled dryly: "I just don't know how much iron the king needs this time?" I'll go back and tell the dog so that he can get ready. ”
"Ah...... It's not much, it's enough to have three thousand catties. ”
After taking a sip of tea, Li Yuanjia first sighed with satisfaction, and then said lightly.
"Three, three thousand catties?!"
With his eyes all the time, Chen Lin lost his mind instantly.
Damn, three thousand pounds?!
"Yes, at least three thousand catties!"
Nodding, Li Yuanjia's expression became serious: "Chen Beijia, in order not to delay the construction period, these three thousand catties of iron must be prepared neatly within a month!" However, this king also promised you that after the sewer project is completed, these tools can be handed over to you, whether you can continue to use them, or dismantle them and melt them back into iron, this king will not care......"
……
"Two hundred people, just two years!"
After seeing Chen Lin go out with the housekeeper Han Shan, thinking of the final decision of the two just now, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Even if his identity can force Chen Lin to summon four hundred people, or even eight hundred, it is no problem, but after all, Li Yuanjia is not that kind of person, so he just asked for two hundred people.
In this way, the impact on farming can be minimized.
And on the other hand, Li Yuanjia can also comfort himself: "Every time there are two hundred people, if I send twenty people myself, I can bring exactly ten of them, and I can teach them......"
Li Yuanjia was pondering, Han Shan didn't know when he had walked in, bowed down and said, "King, Chen Beijia has already left...... Are you really planning to build a sewer for Luzhou City as well? ”
Until now, Han Shan still can't figure out what this is for!
If you want to say that the king loves cleanliness and wants everything he sees to be beautiful and bright, and he doesn't want to smell the smell, then it is understandable to toss it in the Luzhou Government Office. After all, it only took a few hundred times to make the little cubs in the house a little tired. But if it is to be built in Luzhou City, it will be a big move!
At least two or three thousand, not necessarily enough!
What's more, the king of his own family basically doesn't usually go out of the gate of the government office, even if it is built beautifully on the street in the future, what is the use? Could it be that I know in my heart that there is no stinky ditch outside, so I feel more comfortable?
It's a pity that Han Shan persuaded him a few times, but the king still hasn't changed his mind, and at this time he nodded without hesitation: "That's right, I just want to rebuild the entire city of Luzhou!" Old Han, the bricks and stones used in the construction, you have to find someone to prepare them for me in advance, if it is useless to start construction at that time, I will ask you! ”
"Don't worry, the king, it has been arranged a long time ago."
Sighing secretly in his heart, Han Shan could only nod quickly.
"Well, that's good!"
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia continued: "In addition, this time the sewer construction has been carefully watched by Li Zhong and the others!" I don't care if they're young or not, but you have to leave something to them...... Do you understand? ”
"Understood, King!"
Looking at Li Yuanjia's serious face, Han Shan immediately nodded, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart for the good luck of those boys.
Obviously, this is what it means to focus on cultivation.
