Chapter XVI Results

With the Lu family and Jiangling County ordering to be a baby, the disaster relief work of the eldest grandson was easily promoted.

By now, he understood why a revolution was needed.

When there is a serious disparity between the power of one party and the benefits or rights obtained, there will be people who will rise up and resist. This is the reason why the land of China has been faltering in a cycle of chaos for thousands of years.

Whenever in the last years of the dynasty, when the landlord class obtained the vast majority of rights and interests, and the vast majority of the peasants could not even eat enough, it became inevitable that they would rise up.

Reform will replace revolution when society progresses to the point where the ruling class begins to consciously control this state of affairs and not tilt the scales too sharply in either direction.

This is just Changsun Tang's own thoughts, and this view of the overall situation of history can also be said to be one of his few advantages at present.

Looking at the hot scene, Changsun Tang couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, it turned out that I could do better.

After the rain, the good news is one after another.

The cement was finally made out by the group of lime-burning artisans.

Of course, given the handicraft production method at this time, the eldest grandson did not expect much cement to be produced.

The first kiln of cement that has passed the inspection has produced about 1,000 catties of cement, how much is this? It's not much, it's ten woven bags of cement in later generations, what can these cements do? If it is used to pave the road, it may be possible to pave a few meters without any problem.

The eldest grandson was a little speechless, this is your sister, others burn cement, and after burning it out a year or two, the roads of the whole country can be paved almost, I have been burning for almost two months, and I can only pave a few meters, I am really my own, not someone else's child!

The eldest grandson's plump ideal was shattered by this skinny reality again.

However, this is good to be fired, and the rest is to expand production.

Changsun Tang rushed to the cement burning site and divided the cement burning workers into several groups, not for assembly line operations, but to train people who can fire cement faster.

A group of master craftsmen is responsible for material selection and proportioning, as well as quality inspection of cement; One group is responsible for burning; One group is responsible for mixing the material. Other people's children are all hands-off shopkeepers, but they can only do everything themselves.

Soon a kiln was built, and the output of cement was getting higher and higher.

The pavement can finally be paved with cement, and the first section of the pavement is not outside the city, but in front of the Governor's Palace, which will be a free advertisement.

With the former bluestone street as the roadbed, a group of people first paved the bottom layer with coarser sand mixed with cement, and smoothed it with fine sand, and a section of 300 meters of road was completely paved in less than two days.

After another seven days of maintenance, it took nine days to lay a 300-meter road, which is unthinkable.

When people walk on this road, they realize the advantages of this cement road: smooth, no dust, etc.

Of course, there is also a problem here, that is, a light rain has caused all the remaining cement of Changsun Tang to be blocked.

The eldest grandson can only secretly make up his mind to train more masters and let them go to all parts of the country to produce cement, only in this way can the problem of transportation and preservation be avoided, as for the pollution caused by small cement factories everywhere, this is the environmental protection bureau's business, is it related to me?

Unconsciously, the four years of Zhenguan are about to pass, and when the New Year is approaching, Jiangling City actually has a snowfall, although the snow disappears without a trace on the ground, but after all, this small city that has just experienced a catastrophe has a trace of New Year's flavor.

In the past few days, there has been a constant flow of people in Gangneung City, and people who have been busy for a year will find some reason to relax and be happy, bring back a piece of cloth for their wife, make new clothes for their two boys, buy a headdress for their daughter, and by the way, salt can not be forgotten......

In fact, the people's requirements are not high.

Originally, as a year of famine, it would be nice not to starve to death, but this year is better than decades, and everyone has an irrepressible smile on their faces.

As a member of this group of people, Changsun Tang also has three fixed combinations talked about by English teachers: one-armed bodyguard Wang Tiedan, eccentric Wu Xiaoya, and one is naturally a Wu Daya who makes Changsun Tang uncertain.

As long as this eldest grandson returns to the city, this fixed combination will appear in Gangneung City.

The eldest grandson sighed a little, this big river is full of water, only when the general environment is good, the vast majority of people in the big environment will live better, of course, there are some real outstanding people and some so-called "talents", no matter how the outside world they will live very well, but this is a minority after all.

Half a year's hard work has allowed them to gain a rich life.

Through the rational use of the disaster relief funds, the money and goods were able to flow after meeting the basic needs of the people.

At the beginning, the cash-for-work was all paid daily with grain, and it was not a big pot of rice, but the good ones were selected first, and their wages were raised from five catties of grain per day to ten catties, and those who were not good were warned for the first time, the second time the grain was directly halved, and the third time was directly dismissed.

Through such simple incentives, coupled with the use of cement in some specific areas, the official road from Gangneung to Xiangyang was basically completed in just half a year.

Changsun Tang did not engage in any face-saving projects such as greening and sidewalks, and what he needs to do now is to produce practical results in a short period of time.

It is foreseeable that as long as there is no big natural disaster next year, this Gangneung will definitely be a bumper harvest year, and the imperial court's routine tax exemption policy for three years will greatly improve the living standards of the people in Gangneung.

Later, the salary of the eldest grandson is no longer only with grain, but half of the grain plus half of the money, of course, you can also exchange the grain for money, or the pickles purchased by the eldest grandson himself. Why pickles? This gave Zhang Shaokang a bad idea, and he had to come over, as for why one or two dishes of this pickle should be pickled with nine taels of salt, I don't know this, anyway, I sell pickles.

With food and money in the hands of the people, this winter will naturally not be sad.

"Profiteers!" However, when Wu Daya overheard the shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower reporting to the eldest grandson, he and Wu Xiaoya had a tacit understanding and "bah" in unison.

Does this nickname have anything to do with my eldest grandson? How can someone as good as me be a profiteer? They must be talking about someone else. Someone casually touched their nose.
