Chapter 204: Who Are They?
Before Yang Shaofeng could go out in person, he was lame, and Zong Chun consciously sat in a wheelchair, and was ready to go directly to the stretcher in the next step.
For the talents among this kind of talents, Yang Shaofeng naturally couldn't put all the eggs on Yang San, a stupid person, but asked Zhu Zhanji to find a few good hands in Jinyiwei to pretend to be laborers, and then stay by Yixiu Zongchun's side every day to see when he really cut the chicken.
How far you can go depends on how you choose.
The most important thing is that compared to the Dan Majesty Stone Project that is about to be carried out right now, the weight of Yixiu Zongchun is really a little insufficient.
In the sixteenth year of Yongle, the court was busy taking stock of the gains and losses of the year, for example, the household department had to take stock of how many silver taels had been lost last year, how many silver taels had begun to run in the silver treasury, and the Ministry of Industry also had to take stock of what Yongle had done in the sixteenth year, how many bridges had been built, how many roads had been paved, and the rest of the other departments also had their own things to do.
Yang Shaofeng was no exception, especially the huge Dan Majesty Stone to be used behind the Jinshen Palace, and it had to be transported to the imperial city during the cold winter wax moon, otherwise it could only be delayed until next winter.
The point is that this Dan Majesty Stone is really quite large, and it is almost impossible to transport this Dan Majesty Stone by conventional means, because no one and no animal husbandry can pull it.
This also means that if this Dan Majesty Stone cannot be transported to the Imperial City as soon as possible, then in addition to the foundation, the remaining projects on its periphery will not be able to start and affect the entire construction in the Imperial City, and even the construction of the entire capital.
The problem is that in this cold weather, it is not easy for the people to come out to earn some wages, and Yang Shaofeng is also a little unbearable to use tens of thousands of people and thousands of large animals.
Confucius said: Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself.
Mencius said: The old and the old, and the old of the people; The young of me, and the young of man.
Yang Shaofeng felt that he was unwilling to do this work, and he was unwilling to let his family do this kind of work, so he couldn't let the people suffer this crime.
After all, it is a truth that has been said by both sons, and it must not be wrong.
But Dan Majesty Stone is not lucky, because this thing is for Zhu Laosi, and it symbolizes the royal prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and no one dares to joke about it.
Then Yang Shaofeng pondered the use of "labor" - you can't let them eat rice, right? And let them transport the Dan Majesty Stone, so that the people can rest.
Then, Yang Shaofeng organized a labor force of 20,000 people.
Then as one of the laborers, Ikkyu Zongjun, was fortunate to see this largest Dan Majesty stone in the world.
After staring at it in a daze for a long time, Yixiu Zongchun scratched his scalp that had grown a lot of hair, and asked Yang San, "What we want to transport is this stone?" ”
Yang San nodded and said, "That's right, it is to transport this Dan Majesty Stone into the Imperial City and place it at the back of the Jinshen Palace." ”
Yixiu Zongchun sighed, circled around the Dan Majesty Stone for most of the time, and only after coming back did he say with a sad face: "This stone is really too big, there is no way to transport it into the imperial city at one time." However, I have a way to get it into the Imperial City very quickly. ”
Yang San suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "You said, if your method is feasible, I will ask for credit from above for you, and there will definitely be rewards and rewards at that time." ”
Yixiu Zongchun lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "The weather is very cold now, and there is no way to rely on people to cut the stone, which is the biggest problem in transporting this stone.
However, we can light a fire around the stone, and when it is almost burned, we can pour cold water on the stone, so that the stone will crack and it will be easy to transport. ”
After finishing speaking, Yixiu Zongchun raised his head, looked at Yang San with excitement on his face, and said, "That's right, this method can make the stone crack, and then it can be pulled into the imperial city by car!" ”
Yang San's first reaction was to draw a knife and hack to death the stupid lack in front of him - what is Dan Majestic Stone? That is when the Son of Heaven went to court, the royal road to volley through the sky, and it is also the royal road that the Son of Heaven usually has to step on.
Damn, if you can crack the transportation, can't you rely on people and gunpowder? Do you still need to be stupid and nonsense here?
If you think your life is big, you will die by yourself, this damn you are planning to drag more than 20,000 "laborers" and your Yang Sanye and the young master to die together, stupid!
It's a pity that Yang San didn't have a knife on his waist, and Yang San also remembered Yang Shaofeng's advice, so he had to forcibly squeeze out a smile at the moment, and said to Yixiu Zongchun: "No, this Dan Majesty Stone must be transported into the imperial city in its entirety, and there can be no fork in the middle, neither cracked nor damaged." ”
Yixiu Zongchun's face turned red, and he retorted: "This is impossible! Such a large stone, let alone manpower, even if it is added with thousands of horses, it may not be able to pull it. ”
"Not necessarily."
Yang San smiled and patted Yixiu Zongchun's shoulder and said, "In this world, there are always many people whose wisdom is far beyond the imagination of mortals such as me, such as the eldest young master of my family. ”
Yixiu Zongchun was stunned: "Big young master? ”
Yang San nodded and said with a smile: "My eldest young master is the top of the six heads, from the boy test to the palace test, he is the top leader, and the construction of this capital city is also presided over by my eldest young master."
Don't worry, it's just a Dan Majesty stone, but it's a little bigger, but my eldest young master has already arranged the method of transportation, and I just need to do things according to the instructions of the eldest young master. ”
Yixiu Zongchun still couldn't believe it.
But it's a little bigger?
This piece of Danbi stone, which is more than five zhang long and about one zhang wide, weighs between 30 and 500,000 catties, but it is a little bigger? This is something that can be transported by manpower?
Yang San naturally also saw the suspicion in Yixiu Zongchun's eyes.
It's just that Yang San decided to use the actual result to slap Yixiu Zongchun in the face - the wisdom of my young master, how can you be compared to an ordinary man?
Isn't it just a little bigger?
If you want to transport it to the palace, you naturally have to build a road first.
If it were left in previous years, this road would probably be extremely difficult to repair, but now with the cement invented by the young master, this road is not as smooth as you want?
It's a big deal, no matter what kind of bird he is on the ground now, just lay cement on it, and pave it with a foot thick cement, can't he bear the weight of this Dan Majesty stone?
There is no way to transport it? Even if you get a big animal, you can't do it? Can't push, can't drag?
What are you kidding, splash water directly on the road, wait for the water to freeze and then continue to splash it up, make the ice a foot thick, and then polish and polish, and directly pave this ice road to the bottom of the Danbi stone, plus more than 20,000 laborers pull and drag, and still can't move it?
To die is to waste more cement, more water, and at most some extra rope and food.
The food that is wasted is naturally for these laborers, after all, hundreds of thousands of catties of Dan Majesty Stone, you can't let people work and don't give people food, even if it's livestock, you have to feed grass.
Then as soon as Xiu Zongchun watched as this Dan Majesty Stone, which weighed hundreds of thousands of catties, was dragged by tens of thousands of laborers with ropes, and drove towards the direction of the imperial city little by little.
Yes, tens of thousands of laborers did not directly let the 20,000 laborers flock to the place as imagined, nor did they use any large livestock such as cows, horses, mules, etc., but divided the more than 20,000 laborers into two shifts, and dragged this huge Dan Majesty Stone back and forth in turn.
The final result was that by the time the Dan Majesty Stone was transported into the Imperial City, it had already reached the twenty-second day of the lunar month - it took more than twenty days!
……
Zhu Laosi's ears were filled with the sound of tens of thousands of laborers shouting slogans together, and the whole person looked at the hot scene in front of him as if he was stupid.
After squinting his eyes for a long time, Zhu Laosi spoke: "Why don't you use livestock?" ”
Yang Shaofeng, who was standing a little behind Zhu Laosi, bowed down and said: "Back to my grandfather, these nine cold days, the people have been busy for a year, and the livestock have also been busy for a year, so it's time to rest." ”
"What about them?" Pointing to the tens of thousands of "laborers" outside the temple, Zhu Laosi asked, "Are they not people?" Or are they inferior to livestock? ”
Yang Shaofeng pondered and said: "Back to my grandfather, these are all laborers bought by my grandson for five taels of silver, and none of them are my Ming people." ”
"And then?"
Zhu Laosi sneered and said, "Just because they don't have the people of the Ming Dynasty in them, so you don't call them people?" Even the animals of the Ming Dynasty are more important than them, aren't they? ”
Seeing that Yang Shaofeng began to be trained, Zhu Zhanji, who was still snickering with his head down just now, suddenly raised his head and arched his hand towards Zhu Laosi and said: "Grandfather, my grandson is angry, my grandson also has a part in this matter, and my grandson and my brother-in-law discussed it together." ”
Yang Shaofeng also bowed down and said, "Grandfather is angry, and grandson knows that he is wrong." ”
Zhu Laosi sighed and said, "But resolutely don't change, next time you have a chance, you will commit it, right?" ”
Seeing that Yang Shaofeng lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhu Laosi continued: "I know, if this is replaced by the people of the Ming Dynasty, you bastard will definitely collect all the cattle, horses, and mules in Shuntianfu to replace the people, if the big animals in Shuntianfu are not enough, you will go farther away to collect them, right?" ”
Yang Shaofeng's head nodded imperceptibly - isn't that a matter of course?
How good the people of the Ming Dynasty are, they farm and work, they pay taxes, my son goes to the street to eat the watermelons they have worked so hard to grow, and your Zhu Laosi's harem is also full of beautiful daughters they have worked so hard to raise.
Daming's livestock is also good, when he is alive, he has to work hard, and when he dies, he can still skin and eat meat, and now he can finally rest with the people, and you still let the family work?
Conscience let the dog eat? People have to know how to be grateful!
As for these Japanese slaves, there are still "laborers" who were caught and sold by Li Bin from Jiaozhi?
Who are they?
