Chapter 106: There are not enough laborers

This emperor of the old Zhu family is actually similar to the old Liu family, anyway, there is no good thing!

What is the new city, you can just look at it?

What is the co-authorship, except for the few coolies sent by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household can participate in site selection and planning, and the rest of the co-authorship from materials to labor to construction has to be done by myself? Finally, let the coolies of the Ministry of Industry accept it?

Isn't this bullying?

Could it be that he Zhu Laosi thought that the city was built with mud? Or is it like building a city like those children playing with wine, casually pointing to a piece and saying that this is a city?

Doesn't it take the whole city to plan for it? Don't need to lay a foundation? Don't need masonry? Don't need to use things like cement and rebar?

For this kind of behavior that clearly takes advantage of his own family, Yang Shaofeng scolded and chose to endure.

Isn't it masonry cement, as long as the cement thing finds a suitable stone, it doesn't mean that you can open a kiln, green bricks and other things are simpler, and it's over with mud!

As for the stones, the whole good stone may have to be mined in a mine, but the small gravel is too easy to do, and some of the coal mines can be used with gangue, which happens to help the coal mine clean up the garbage.

As for things like rebar...... Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but sigh, toss slowly, with good coking coal in hand, still worried about not being able to make steel bars?

All the problems went around a hundred and eighty times, and finally it came back to the original problem - planning and materials are actually easy to solve, but the real problem is not enough manpower.

Don't look at Timur and Antai, they always transport laborers to the border cities, but since those small tribes have followed Maiduo away, there are not many laborers they can catch now, often only a hundred or ten at a time, and they can only send them back every once in a while.

As for the laborers of the Tatars and the Warats, it was because the Tatars themselves were stronger, while the Warats were given a large number of Ming weapons, and both sides maintained good restraint......

The supply of labourers became smaller, and the coal mines required a large number of labourers, and even the able-tidied women were washed in the coal, not to mention the cement kilns, brick kilns, steel mills, and transport fleets.

That's it, not counting the engineering team that needs the largest number of people - the planning of the entire new city is countless times larger than the original scale, and the manpower required is naturally not comparable to the construction of the school.

After touching a few fluffy whiskers on his chin and pondering for a long time, Yang Shaofeng didn't come up with any good way.

Naturally, the health office can't be easily transferred as an engineering team, and it takes money to recruit people, but Xia Laoli also gave 100,000 taels so generously, even if it is used to recruit workers, it is estimated that there will be no more recruits.

After thinking about it, Yang Shaofeng felt that this matter had to fall on the Tatars and Warats.

……

Pulling Timur, Antai, Siqin, and Tumen Jirigala resisted the urge to kill each other with knives, and sat at the wine table with a smile, intending to listen to what Yang Shaofeng had to say.

Mr. Chang Geng once said that he relies on his parents at home and his friends when he goes out.

Obviously, Timur is Yang Shaofeng's good friend, and he is a very good one, and now that Yang Shaofeng is in trouble, he naturally remembers the old.

Then Yang Shaofeng invited Timur and Antai and others to come over - if you can rely on one table of banquets, don't use two tables of banquets, now that the money is small, you have to save some money.

Yang Shaofeng poured wine for the four of them, and Shi Shiran poured himself a glass, then he smiled and said: "What about things outside the border city, it has little to do with us, but in this city, everyone is a good brother, let's have a drink first!" ”

Fortunately, the four of them gave Yang Shaofeng face very much, and they all picked up their wine glasses with smiles and drank a glass with Yang Shaofeng.

Yang Shaofeng knew very well in his heart that the four of them were not so much to give themselves face, but to give face to the Ming behind them, or to give face to the silver, so after casually finding a reason to persuade a few glasses, Yang Shaofeng directly put down the wine glass, and then said with a smile: "Calling the brothers together today, in fact, there is a matter of making a fortune to discuss with a few people." ”

Timur laughed and said: "Brother Yang has anything to say, just say it directly, my master said that Brother Yang's affairs are our Tatar affairs, and we will definitely handle it properly for you." ”

Antai sneered and said, "It's as if this steppe belongs to your Tatar family." Our Royal Highness the King of Shunning has also said that the matter of Yang Tiju is the matter of our Warat, and not only our Mahammu Department, but also Taiping and Vulture Polo will help with all their might. ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed, raised his wine glass and said, "The Mongols are all good soldiers who can fight, why should we be hostile to each other?" Isn't it stupid to have fat grass just over a hill and have a lot of grass, but now it's gladiatorial for the sand under your feet? ”

Yang Shaofeng's words stunned Timur and the other four people.

Four people can mix to the extent of envoys to the Ming Dynasty, naturally they can't be fools, and the reason why the grassland has become what it is now is naturally clear.

Now the culprit is sitting in front of the four of them, but he is ashamed to say that they should not be hostile to each other?

Immortal Heaven is above, is it because the Yang madness in front of us has not woken up, or have we drunk too much wine to distinguish between reality and illusion?

Timur looked at Antai, and then at Siqin, a well-known sage on the grassland, before he spoke: "Temujin and Zamuhe were still righteous Anda, both of them were heroes, but although the grassland is big, it can't accommodate two heroes.

Brother Yang, if you have anything you want us to do, then just say it, but if you want to persuade us to make peace, then you don't have to. ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed and said: "The hatred brought by blood can only be washed away by blood, I respect the traditions of the grassland, and I will not easily think about changing anything."

But ah, from Tartary to the east, and from Varat to the west, and so many lands, and many tribes and nations, is it not a very happy thing to turn their land into pasture, and their people into laborers? ”

Timur looked at the three of them before he spoke: "Brother Yang, do you need a lot of labor now?" ”

Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "The more the better, even if you get 100,000 laborers, it's not too much." ”

Pointing to the outside of the Drunken Immortal Tower, Yang Shaofeng smiled again and said: "Let's put aside other problems now, including the previous frictions, and their different opinions, let's just talk about this border city, its appearance is more beneficial to the grassland?" Or is there more disadvantages? ”

was asked by Yang Shaofeng like this, and Timur and Antai and others were stunned.

What did the emergence of the border city bring to the grassland?

If you think about it badly, if there is no border city, even if the Tatars and Warat will attack each other, it is estimated that they will not be at such a level as they are now, and the other small tribes will not be forced to follow Mai Duo away.

But if you think about it at best, regardless of whether it is a Tatar or a Warat herdsman, which one has not benefited from the border city? Isn't it a benefit that salt, iron pots, clothes, these things that used to be robbed at the risk of one's life can now be exchanged for cattle and sheep?

Not to mention the school that Yang Shaofeng tossed out - with the school, the child does not have to herd sheep all the time, and when he grows up, he marries a daughter-in-law and then lets the child herd sheep, and he does not have to risk his life to loot.

The people of Zhongyuan Tangkou know that reading can change their fate, and the grassland Tangkou, which has been fighting with Zhongyuan Tangkou for thousands of years, naturally understands this truth.

Think about it from another angle, without the appearance of border cities, can Tatar and Warat live in peace? Those small tribes don't have to be woolen?

If you think about it, you know that it's - Tatar and Warat were originally feuds, and both sides wanted each other to die, even if they didn't reach the level of fighting every day, those small frictions never broke, let alone those small tribes, it was nothing more than that they were lighter before, and now they are heavier.

After being silent for a long time, Timur nodded and said: "Although the appearance of the border city has certain disadvantages, it brings more benefits to the grassland. ”

An Tai also spoke: "The school opened by Yang Tiju gives the children a chance to study, so that they have the opportunity to become secretaries when they grow up, and they don't have to keep herding horses and sheep, which is what changed their fate, and it was Yang Tiju who gave them the opportunity." ”

Timur said: "My master said that no matter what the grassland becomes in the future, a great sage like Brother Yang deserves the respect of the grassland people, and if anyone dares to disrespect Yang Tiju, he is an enemy of everyone in the Tatar Department!" ”

Automatically ignoring these nonsense words of Timur, Yang Shaofeng laughed and said: "Presumably you should also know that the city here is going to expand a little more, at least five or six times bigger than it is now."

Now just such a small border city has already brought so many benefits to the grassland, what if the border city expands a little more?

Like the Lao Ba and the Antai brothers, the Siqin and Tumen Jirigala brothers, and those leaders who are not here now, do you still need to live in tents in the ice and snow? I don't think so, you should lie down in a house with a burning kang, drink wine, eat meat, and then let others go and herd the sheep, and you just have to direct them.

And this is also the reason why I called everyone here - the border city will be expanded several times, and the labor required will be more, and the little labor on the coal mine alone is not enough at all~"

Timur patted his chest and shouted: "Brother Yang, you said, how many laborers do you want, I will tell Taishi when I turn around, and organize people to find laborers!" ”
