Chapter 82: Building Roads

If you want to get rich in the countryside, have fewer children and build more roads, where is the most expensive place in a city? Some people may say that it is a school district room, or a medical district room, but in fact, it is always the most convenient place for transportation, and transportation is always the most important point for a city to prosper.

And today, it is a small step for Ju County, but it is a big leap for mankind! Hahahaha~

In the second year of Zhenguan, the second day of the second lunar month

The day when the dragon raised his head in the future, spring had arrived, and early in the morning, the workers all gathered at the gate of the county government, with baskets, pickaxes, shovels, flat poles and other tools in their hands all ready, Su Bai walked in the front, followed by Wang Xiaobao and Wang Fugui, and then Wang Lang Dynasty Tang Ju and others, the people were waiting quietly, looking at Su Bai with a little reverence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the king of this county! I believe many folks have heard of me, yes, I am the child who has not grown all the hair in some people's mouths! Many of you haven't seen me, so that's okay! In the future, I will let everyone remember Wang Chouniu! I don't want to say anything else, but are there any people here who have worked in the workshop before? Su Bai's voice was very loud, because there were too many people below, and if the voice was too small, it would not be able to be heard at all.

"Yes"

"Yes"

There were several voices of pandering from the crowd one after another, and Su Bai said loudly: "Is it better than your salary?" Is it shorter than your meal? ”

"Nope!"

"Nope!"

Su Bai said with satisfaction: "Although I am young, I also feel Huang Enhao!" Thanks to Your Majesty for not abandoning me as our county magistrate and as an official! For the benefit of one party! I have only one goal, that is, everyone in our county can have enough to eat! There is food left at home! ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Your Excellency!"

The crowd below applauded, and who could understand what you were telling them? The people of Datang only care about one thing, and that is food! The so-called man eats for the sky, and the same is true! Listening to the words of this small county commander, the people could really feel the heart, but they didn't know that this had a great effect on the aura of good feelings.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, the first change I want to make when I come to our county is to build a road! This road will be different from all the roads you have seen before! The contemptible people have limited financial resources, and they can only build ten miles for the villagers! But in the future, when our county is rich! This road will definitely be built to Chang'an! ”

The people all listened quietly to the nine-year-old child's words, and everyone had hope in their eyes, looking forward to the bright future that Su Bai had painted for them.

"Everyone! If a person is rich, it is not called rich at all! When everyone gets rich, that's what makes them rich! I, Wang Chouniu, must make our county one of the richest counties in the Tang Dynasty! Let the eldest girl in Linxian take the initiative to marry as soon as she hears that we are from Juxian County! Walking outside, we said that we are from Juxian County, and we can straighten our backs! What my king ugly cow has done is also in everyone's eyes! The workshop has also been built, and the scale will continue to expand in the future, and more and more people will be recruited. Let's make Juxian rich together! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"May the Lord Marquis Wandai!"

"May the Lord Marquis Wandai!"

"With you here, we are confident!"

"Yes, we have confidence"

The people were all enthusiastic, and now the temperature was not cold, Su Bai didn't even wear a skin, and said in a green official robe: "Fathers and fellow villagers! Let's go! ”

"Yo"

"Yo"

"Yo"

The people raised the tools in their hands and shouted loudly, Su Bai smiled, the people are simple, what I have to do is to let these people not sell their sons and daughters in the face of this year's locust plague, and they can have a full stomach and food! You need food yourself!

......

Su Bai personally taught several great workers how to build this road, how to make molds, how to maintain, how to cut, their wages are 100 yuan a day, and let them manage their workers, all of whom have been masons for many years, these things are simply not a thing in their eyes.

The workers in front of the road corrected the road surface, with pickaxes and shovels to correct the ground as much as possible, the excess soil was carried to the side of the road, the carpenter in the back nailed out a mold with wooden boards, hung the line, the mason according to the proportion of the concrete, it is impossible to add steel bars to the inside, there is really no such condition, it can only use concrete.

After pouring the concrete into the mold, the mason leveled it, and then drew a non-slip gully with a small stick on it, even if a short section of the road surface was repaired, the rest was to wait for it to dry some, and spread grass or river sand on it to moisturize, in fact, the hardness of cement has a lot to do with humidity. Su Bai watched these men work, they were all strong young men in their twenties, the weather was still a little cool at the beginning of spring, and the strong young men were strong, and they took off their shirts one after another, leaking out.... The dry and thin upper body is really a little malnourished, but the strength is not small.

Appetite.... It's not small, Su Bai has a lot of insight when he eats at noon, he can really eat it, as if he directly omitted the step of chewing, and the rice in his mouth went through a formality, and it went directly to the stomach. As soon as I heard that it was time to eat at noon, all the screaming screams came over, and I had always heard that it was rice and dry rice with meat, but few people had eaten it, and it was an eye-opener.

A large wooden barrel was lifted out, inside was the fragrant white rice, it was tempting to look at, and behind it were pots of braised pork, all of which were taken from the bones, and the pots were steaming, Su Bai originally wanted to eat something with a bowl, but when he smelled the smell of the fatty meat, when he saw the fat of the white flowers, he directly pushed Su Bai back! I'm going to my mother~It's too tireless~

These young men did not have this kind of distress at all, went up to serve a large bowl of rice, pressed it down vigorously, poured a spoonful of soup with more oil than soup on the rice, and then went to get a large bowl of meat, squatting on the side to eat it violently, and while eating, it was called a fragrant ah, Su Bai turned around, and found that almost all of the fat in each pot was there, and the roots of the teeth were itchy.

He knows that this is not to blame for Baiweiju, the current people like this kind of fat, but no one likes ribs and the like, and the current pigs have not been castrated, and there is a smell of taste, and it takes a lot of spices to cover up, and now the price of spices is simply terrifying. Because pigs have not been castrated, they are also particularly terrifying when they are in estrus, and they are wide and fat, and they often hurt people, so there are relatively few people who raise pigs.

Well, when the whole pig farm comes out, in the future, pork is the main source of meat in China, and when the castration pig is online, in addition to a few home-cooked dishes that he knows, I believe that the people of Datang will like it, but first to get through this locust plague, otherwise it is all empty talk.

After eating, Han Laohu shouted under Su Bai's signal: "The county commander said, all the fathers and villagers have worked hard in the morning, don't be in a hurry to work after eating, rest for two quarters of an hour first, and take a good rest!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The construction site was lively, and at this time everyone completely believed that the previous rumors were true, this adult was really very kind to the workers, and the people of Juxian County were blessed! Su Bai felt that the combination of work and rest was definitely more efficient than working hard with his head up, and people's nerves and muscles couldn't be tense all the time.

After a break for half an hour, everyone's enthusiasm for work came up, opening the road, carrying the soil, shouting the trumpet, singing the country tune that Su Bai didn't understand, and the whisper echoed on the land.

Su Bai called over to Tang Ju and said: "Tang Ju, give you a task, let's find out how many lonely and widowed old people there are in the county now, how many of them have served in the military, give you three days, I want to know the information in the county." Tang Ju nodded, a little puzzled: "What do adults want information from these lonely old people?" Su Bai smiled: "I plan to build some houses outside the county, you go and call me a bricklayer to come over!" Build a house? Tang Ju didn't understand what Su Bai meant, but he understood the second sentence and called an old bricklayer to come over.

Su Bai smiled: "Master, how old are you this year?" The old bricklayer bowed and said: "Don't you dare to call it that, the little old man is forty and five this year, and the adult can call me Luo Guo Liu, everyone is called that." Su Bai smiled: "No, how can you call the elder like that, Old Liu, I don't know how many years you have been a bricklayer?" Luo Guo Liu heard this Liu Lao, he was happier than earning a hundred Wen, this is the county magistrate, he calls himself Liu Lao, how face-saving!

Liu Lao smiled: "Xiao Lao'er has been learning bricklayers with his father since he was eight years old, and it has been thirty-seven years now", Su Bai smiled: "Then Liu Lao must be experienced, Liu Lao, I plan to build some houses to house the lonely and widowed old people in the county", picked up a small straw stick while speaking, spent it on the ground, and explained to Liu Lao while drawing: "Liu Lao, please see, the area is not too big, sixty square meters can be, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, north and south are transparent, and there must be a fire kang in the bedroom", This should be mentioned, the people of Datang do not have a bathroom, they use a gong bucket, and someone will come to collect it in the morning, that is, Ye Xianglang.

Liu Lao nodded and said: "The adult's painting is simple and clear, I don't know how much the adult plans to build?" Su Bai stretched out his hand and pointed to the cement road that was being paved: "Now on both sides of the road, build fifty on each side, Liu Lao, you calculate how many materials you will use, and then go to the fat man over there and tell him that this is what I mean", Su Bai stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Fugui.

Liu Lao nodded to show that he understood, and a person was writing and drawing on the ground with a small wooden stick, seemingly calculating how many materials to use.

Su Bai looked at the cement road that was built little by little, and imagined that in the future, there will be neat houses on both sides of the road, not to mention, there is really a feeling of returning to the modern countryside,.....
