Chapter 141: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

"Big brother, there has never been the most expensive thing in the world, only the more expensive one. The family of those rich landowners has thousands of acres of fertile land, and the most fearful thing is that there is no food, and the most afraid is that they will be collected for good land and money. Therefore, let's get a distribution, and if the family has more than 300 taels of silver or 300 acres of fertile land, we must provide 6 taels of silver or 2 laborers, and if you don't do it, you will be fined 12 taels of silver or directly confiscate 6 acres of fertile land. Let's fine 28 open, 20% to Liu Zhizhou, and the rest to us. In this way, we are definitely not afraid that he will not support us, what do you say? Sai Zilong said with a sly smile.

"Indeed, Brother Zilong's words are very right. However, the younger brother still has an idea, this silver can be earned if it is gone, and if the good land is gone, it will be a big loss, so I think that the punishment is not necessary for any silver, and the good land will be confiscated directly, so that they are not afraid of not laboring. I think it should be more effective. As for the rich merchants, they must also be punished for good land, and it is not up to us to get them. Zhao Gang shook his head in agreement.

This time it was everyone's turn to be 'impressed' by Zhao Gang, such a simple guy actually competed against Zilong, the spy leader, and was still bad, so he simply didn't want any silver, and directly robbed the root of those guys - good land.

After sighing at this little thing, of course everyone agreed, after all, this is a major matter related to their own interests, sacrificing the interests of these guys who exploit farmers, they will not have any psychological burden, and they will feel that they have done a good deed for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is Guanyin who saves the suffering.

Shi Bin thought even more so: in the last years of the dynasty, it was because the land annexation was too serious that it led to its demise, if it was really possible to divide some land through fines, and divide the big rich into small rich people, it is estimated that it can also make the common people better off and make the country strong again.

Of course, these are his dreams, or unspeakable dreams, and when he woke up from the dream, he said: "I very much agree with Zilong and Zhao Gang's opinion, let's invite them to dinner in two days." Okay, let's move on to the next topic, how to build this road? What materials to use and where to start? ”

"Big brother, I see that the stone road is good, it is very durable, and it is very comfortable for us to walk on it, but it can't be paved less, I accidentally broke my foot last time." Li Ergou said a little embarrassed.

It's a joke, and it's just a bit of a stone road in the city, and it's all relatively densely paved, but the wheels occasionally get stuck. Walking on the stone road and stumbling on it, how careless it is.

"This stone road is good, as the two dog brothers said, it can't be paved less, then the amount of work is too big. Quarrying alone costs a lot, and ordinary stones are certainly not enough, but granite is hard and corrosion-resistant. ”

Although I don't know how to calculate this account, if the entire official road in Tanzhou is really paved like this, then Liu Zhizhou will not be stunned? He's sure to break the contract right away.

"Or how about a gravel road?" Liu Xiao said, "Although this gravel road is uneven, it is still suitable for walking, as long as we are well-paved, even horse-drawn carriages can pass." It's much easier to get some crushed stone than to get rocks, it won't corrode so quickly, and the cost will be much lower. The point is that the rich landowners who are not going to pull out a dime will not worry too much. ”

Liu Xiao's words made Shi Bin very tempted, and he often walked this gravel road. The well-paved gravel road was indeed comfortable to walk on, and even if you ride by car, it only affects the speed of the carriage, and there are no other problems.

"I wonder if my eldest brother has ever heard of 'rammed earth'?" At this time, the tomb robber, who had always sat in the silence and did not speak much, spoke.

What is rammed earth? Shi Bin had never heard of this word, and he knew the meaning of the ramming word, and the simple thing was to compact the soil, and then use the molded clods to build a building.

"Big brother, this ramming technique is a very important technique. We tomb robbers judge where there is treasure is to distinguish whether the soil under our feet is ordinary soil or rammed earth. Yi Jun also said with some pride, after all, this is his unique secret technique.

"Tell me why this rammed earth can be used to build roads. Since it is dirt, won't the roads be muddy and difficult for vehicles to navigate? Shi Bin asked anxiously.

In his concept, when the soil meets the water, it will all turn into mud, where can you walk on it, isn't that looking for a fall?

"I know that everyone didn't understand, even Wang San, who is known as 'Zhiduoxing', is also ignorant." Yi Jun said: "It seems that everyone doesn't know what this rammed earth means, so I'll explain." I'm sure you'll be happy to hear it. ”

Several people were anxious, because they couldn't get the problem right, they were already not so calm, including Wang San in the infighting, they began to reprimand Yi Jun, and they also 'warned' him.

Although he was not afraid of Wang San, he was afraid of Zhao Gang, a reckless man who was prone to blood, and immediately spoke, "Rammed earth is not just a simple tamping of soil, but a building material. The voids in the triple soil of red mud, coarse sand, and lime become stronger after the action of tamping, and to put it bluntly, it is the heavy object that smashes the soil with ingredients to make it stronger. The rammed earth structure created in this way is compact, like huge stones. The foundation under the city wall of Tanzhou City, where we are located, is made of rammed earth, and basically the foundations of all large buildings are rammed earth, which shows that this soil is very suitable for road construction. ”

Even the foundations of such a huge wall are rammed earth? That's pretty good.

Li Chao immediately spoke: "Big brother, Yi Jun's idea is too good. Since it is soil, it can be used locally. We go directly to the Xiangjiang River to dig the coarse sand, and it is difficult to get lime. But it's much easier than a gravel road. Isn't it just a few people throwing a big rock into the soil? This is a person who can do it, Brother Yi Jun, you have done our eldest brother a great favor. ”

Shi Ban is now happy in his heart, he didn't expect Yi Jun, a tomb robber, to come up with such a good idea, it is true that everyone has their own value, but people have not been discovered.

At such a critical moment, of course, the slate will not let Yi Jun idle, he has to make the best use of his talents and make the best use of his talents, "Zhao Gang, you will be responsible for the specific operation, Yi Jun, you will be responsible for the technical guidance, and I will hand over the 10,000 strong men to the two of you, and within a year, you will at least repair the two roads from Tanzhou to Xiangtan and Tanzhou to Yueyang for me." As for the matter of the horse farm, Zhao Gang, you will leave it to Burigood for the time being, and I can still trust him. ”

After all, there are only a few dozen horses, which is nothing compared to the strategic event of building roads.

"Brothers, do you have to have a name for inviting the rich man of this village to come? And it's better to come together, don't come all over the place, that would be too tiring. Shi Bin said another somewhat troublesome question.

After all, if you want money, you can't just open your mouth, it's easy to be looked down upon. And if you say it one by one, your saliva will run dry, and things may not be done.

"Big brother, there is a good reason in front of us, we can use it." Wang San said with a smile.

Got it right in front of you? This is not a New Year's holiday, and no one is promoted to make a fortune, what is the good reason?

"Big brother is really honest, we can borrow Liu Zhizhou's name."

This is not only Shi Bin confused, Liu Zhizhou can't fight with him, how can he borrow his name?

"Big brother, did you save his third aunt?"

"Of course, the whole Tanzhou knows this." Shi Bin replied.

"Then does Liu Zhizhou want to thank you?"

Didn't Liu Zhizhou thank you all? How else can you use this name to thank you? Shi Bin looked at Wang San suspiciously.

"Big brother, Liu Zhizhou's thanks are private. We can hold a banquet for everyone to know! Let's just say that Liu Zhizhou invited Shi Tongju, who saved his third aunt, to the banquet, and the third aunt worships you as the eldest brother. ”

The third aunt worships herself as the eldest brother? This is too, even if she will agree, will Liu Zhizhou agree?

"Big brother, don't think so much, we all know that the third aunt is an upright and grateful woman, if you discuss it with her like this, she will agree." Wang San said with a grin.

"That's what I said, but don't forget, we trapped him in Yangmeizhou at the beginning, there is no impermeable wall in the world, maybe one day the news will leak, and then she won't hate my big brother to death?" Shi Bin asked rhetorically.

Looking at the eldest brother in front of him who asked for peace of mind in everything, Wang San was very helpless.

"Big brother, I just ask if you want to build a road? If you want to build roads, be this big brother. Li Chao also spoke.

Seeing that Shi Bin still looked bitter, Li Ergou said, "Big brother, I have a plan." It's better for us not to tell the third aunt yet. After the road is repaired, tell her that we designed to trap her in Yangmeizhou. Since she is upright and persuades Liu Zhizhou to be kind, presumably even if she knows this, she will not tell Liu Zhizhou about this, and will continue to support you. ”

Everyone was very happy to hear this method, and looked at Wang San with approval, this trick is indeed suitable for the current situation.

After hearing this, Shi Bin also agreed to this method. said that he would visit the third aunt on the morning of the second day.
