60 strategies for building roads
"Small generations live in North County. There are five brothers and sisters in the family. The small ones are the third. There is an older sister and an older brother on it. Bai Erniu said.
"My brother. The year before last, he went out to fight. Unfortunately・・・・・" Bai Erniu kept silent.
Shang Wen also understood. The Qin State was war-frequent. Brother Bai Erniu. Already killed.
"Is there anyone else in the house?" Shangwen asked.
"There are also three mothers, younger brothers and sisters." Bai Erniu said.
"Yes. It's the farming season. Why do you still have to come out. Shang Wen asked.
"This is a conscription sent from above. Originally, there was none, but it was said that iron ore had been discovered. Let's first recruit those who commit adultery. Later, there were not enough people. One out of one family. Our family. And I came out. Bai Erniu preached honestly.
"Look at you are as strong as an ox, why are you sick?" Shangwen asked.
"Servitude, I was supposed to distribute food from above, but I ate a lot. Plus, we're early. Dry a lot. It's cold at night. We don't have anything to protect us from the cold. I also got a wind chill. Bai Erniu said.
Shang Wen stopped talking. I can figure it out. Qin's law is harsh. In order to meet the deadline. It's definitely ahead of schedule. There was no preparation beforehand. Of course, these people will have to starve and freeze. Alas. This can be regarded as hurting others. If you don't smelt iron and build a train yourself. I guess ・・・・・・ don't want to forget it.
"Stop. Get up. Get up for me. Fast. At this time, Li Er arrived on horseback. Immediately urged the coachmen to hurry up and transport the iron ore in. The coachmen heard the horses get up.
"What's going on?" Shangwen stood up and asked.
"Your Excellency." Li Er saw Shang Wen there. Immediately turn over and dismount.
"My subordinates have seen adults." Li Er stepped forward and saluted.
"What's going on?" Shang Wen asked.
"Back to my lord. These are all convoys that carry iron ore. Li Er replied.
"I know that. Why is it so rushed? Shang Wen asked.
"Adults don't know. The iron smelting speed of this iron plant is very fast. Iron ore is used in large quantities. Li Er said.
"Didn't I see the ironworks piled up so high?" Shangwen asked.
"Alas, my lord. This goes further on. The more you use it. If you don't save some in advance. Fear. We're going to have to stop working then. Once the work is stopped, it cannot be completed on time. He will be punished. Li Er said a little anxiously.
"Then you can't use people like that." Shang Wen continued.
"My lord, it's convenient." As he spoke, he pulled Shang Wen to the side.
"Adults don't know. These people are provided locally with food. However, my Guyang County is a newly established county, and there is no food at all. Plus the use of the army. The logistics are already very strained. Li Er explained.
"I see." Shang Wen said with a wave of his hand.
"Well, you let them bring the iron ore back first. Let's stop the iron ore for the past two days. Let them have a good rest. Then it was divided into three shifts. Take turns to carry it backwards. Li Er wanted to speak again.
"Go ahead, do as I say." Shang Wen said.
"But, my lord. The food ration was only enough for three days. If you use it like this, I'm afraid it will be ・・・・・・ a day." Li Er said anxiously.
"Go, go. I've got my own considerations. Shang Wen waved his hand.
"Wow". Li Er had no choice but to surrender his order.
Shang Wen watched the long procession pass by. I don't know what to do anymore. Fangzheng these people are really too bitter. I can't do that. Otherwise, sooner or later something will go wrong. These people are so miserable.
In general, roads have to be built at the moment. It can't go on like this. How to build this road? Can it be repaired? Shang Wen has no bottom in his heart.
He is currently a person who has been sent to conscription. These people are already miserable. There is also the fact that the food rations have been exhausted. The first to be supplied with food is the army. The population of North County is not large. The land is barren. In this way, it is estimated that the snow mountain will make it worse. If the Qin State wants to unify the six countries in the future. It is estimated that the entire national strength will be exhausted. Such a thing is a dead country.
What to do. If you forcibly build a road. It's not about forcing people to their deaths.
"Let's go back to the camp," Shang Wen looked at the long line helplessly.
The carriage soon arrived at the camp. But you won't be able to get in for a while. Shang Wen got out of the car and took a look. I saw that the rows of Huns were divided into two groups: men and women. From time to time, a large number of cavalry whizzed from behind. But those cattle and sheep will have no place for a while. I had to rush to the camp.
"See? There was beef to eat today. And mare's milk wine. The two soldiers chatted with each other.
"I'm not used to drinking. It's hard to drink. A fishy smell. One soldier said.
"You idiot, those rations are delicious. I wish I could eat meat every day. Drink mare's milk wine. That's the life of the gods. Another soldier said.
"Hey, I know, I heard. I want to occupy this land. How nice is that. Lao Tzu will definitely not go back. I'm going to stay here. It's definitely better than going back to farming. But I just don't know when it will be implemented. The other soldier continued.
"Don't think about it. Then a large area ・・・・・" "Ahem" Another soldier saw his commander walking back and forth, and immediately stopped the discussion.
The words of these two soldiers. Impressed Shang Wen. Shang Wen originally thought that after the Great War. By selling the Huns as slaves. But now it seems. It couldn't have been achieved. But now another idea has emerged. That's the land. These lands became terra nullius. The original masters above are gone, and now all of them are slaves. Most of these slaves were light teenagers. The future is a good workforce. In addition to being sent by their own iron works to dig coal and mine. It's basically useless. Now I just use these people. Let these people go and build roads.
And those lands. Now the entire territory of the Huns is a vacuum. If the Qin army can't hold it, it will soon be filled with the Yue clan in the west and the Hu people in the east. This kind of thing is definitely not acceptable. It is now the busy season of agriculture in the Qin State, and it is definitely impossible to recruit a large number of people to enter in a short period of time.
Although there are policies above, in Shang Wen's view, those policies are pure nonsense. What a reward. It's all about dividing up the spoils. Without any compensation, it was given to others. This is unacceptable.
In that case, it's better to be. The land was given to the coachmen or the laborers. Those people dreamed of owning land. It is better to give them as a reward. As long as the rewards are appropriate. These people certainly have an endless source of motivation. Those people will not be worried because they have delayed their farm work and they are tired to death again. It is best that these policies can be said to move the king of Qin. At present, when it is implemented, he is a prisoner of the army. Just do it. If you want to kill or chop, you can do whatever you want.
