Chapter 425: The Chamber

In the second year of the middle school, in March, the weather is slightly cool today, the sky is covered by clouds, it is a good day to work, in the place of 100 miles away from Chang'an, a group of people are working hard, they are building roads. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The first is to level the road, as you would normally have to build a road. Where the height is uneven, which ruts are smoothed. To avoid injustice, they also have a special equipment.

It is a huge cylinder made of iron that can be rolled. There is an iron rod attached, and the person pushes the pole in front of him to drive the sphere. This is used for rollers, with a huge volume and heavy weight, which can ensure that the place passed is smooth and flat.

This prop was not only specially made to build this road, but also used it when the stadium was being prepared. Otherwise, the place where the horse races is uneven, but it will cause the horse to fall and break his leg. So, there is such a leveling tool. Splash the dirt road with water to make it muddy, and then roll the rollers over it to ensure that the road surface is smooth.

Then, when the road was smoothed, someone made a stone slab out of cement and paved it. Because the cement needs a few days of natural shade to dry, the surface temperature should not be too high, otherwise the cement will crack. Therefore, these cement slabs are made and formed near the site, covered with mats, and splashed with water regularly to ensure that the cement slabs are even, and they are transported to the site for laying after three days.

It's not impossible to spread it directly on the ground, but then the whole road has to be covered with a mat, which is too troublesome.

I said, Is it necessary to make this road so wide?' In the middle of the construction, a group of workers stopped to rest, found a place to shade, and started chatting, "In my opinion, half of it is about the same." The one who spoke gestured.

And this road is also strange, why save half of the place to lay cement slabs, and the remaining half of the leveling. It's just a complete cover-up. ’

"No one loves you, so don't build roads here, why don't you go to the Ministry of Works, it's good to be a foreigner." ''That's it, why bother to build roads with us here?'' The two men sarcastically mocked the man who had just spoken.

'I am charity and love, and I don't talk to you who don't know anything. Mei Renai stiffened her neck and said, "My grandmother died early, otherwise I would have taken the Jinshi exam a long time ago, and now I am a member of the Ministry of Labor, so I won't let them waste it so much." ’

Seeing that he was still hard-mouthed, Tao Kan wanted to say something, and someone came out to mediate, 'Okay, okay, what those big officials think, how can we guess, who knows if it is for other use, we just do our thing.' ’

Also, announce something. The man continued, after mediating. And when he said this, everyone sat up and listened to the man

Because our progress exceeded expectations, the rear cement slab was too late to be produced, so we could take a half-day off in the afternoon. "yes, okay" 'It's a holiday, it's time for a holiday.'' I'm going to play football and I haven't played in a few days. As soon as the words fell, I remembered a burst of cheers, and everyone wanted to have a good time.

Don't be too happy. Because of our large number of people, the progress is advanced, and some people will be transferred to the rear to make cement slabs, and the people in charge of management will also follow. What's this, there are fewer people, and the workload is easier than before, it doesn't matter.

Then, in the afternoon, it's not just for you to play, after lunch, everyone goes to bathe me, and in the afternoon to check the housekeeping. As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of mourning, and when they heard that they were going to check the housekeeping, everyone screamed out.

I'd rather not take this holiday, it's just to check the housekeeping." That's what everyone is saying.

This is an engineering team, you can call them vanguards. These people are all rebels, and they were soldiers who besieged Ayakiden.

After they surrendered, they could neither kill nor let them go, so first let him serve as a laborer to repair the Ayaki Palace. After the completion of the construction of the Ayaki Palace, they also accumulated a lot of experience in cement construction. Li Chen simply classified all of them as soldiers in the Song Dynasty, responsible for the construction of the project.

He had already decreed that forced labor was abolished, and that the people could no longer be requisitioned without compensation, whether at the local level or at the imperial court. But there were still people to do the project, so Li Chen simply asked them to build the road. However, there are many people mixed in.

A part of the people is attracted by the wages, which are the same per person per month. That's a lot of money. And there is no need to be too far from home, although it is not in line with the usual practice, it should be given rice, but the new money given by the imperial court is currently very popular, so many people come.

The salary of hired people in the Tang Dynasty, at least the salary of hired people in the imperial court, there are records, nine hundred and sixty dollars per year, and two buckets of rice seven hundred. However, this is in the nature of conscription, and the salary is paid on the first day of the month. Now that the levy has been abolished, it can only be distributed to more remote places according to the old people. One thousand two hundred and sixty dollars, but there are fourteen stones and four buckets. And because they all give money, they are always paid per person every month.

Originally, it was like this. Recently, however, some changes have taken place. Because Li Chen proposed to be able to work for relief, some of the people who fled because of the famine were joined into this team.

The Ministry of Industry welcomed it, as it would reduce the expenditure by half. Usually the victims are added and each person is only given 80 yuan per month. Too much worse? No, it's not that the Ministry of Works abuses these victims. But since it's a cash-for-work. The remainder is food.

Although the imperial court now collects as much money as possible, in fact, there are still a lot of taxes in kind. If all the victims, coins and food are used, it will be about 850 wen a month. It seems that it is only a little less, and it is still very troublesome, and it is necessary to transport food over.

However, it's not easy to build a road, it's not easy to transport some food, you can't even transport food, and there is no point in building this road. Besides, to hire the people, all the money has to be paid by the Ministry of Industry. Some of the people who were affected by the disaster can use the food that was expected to be used for disaster relief, and the expenses on the books are less.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry is happy to replace the people with disaster victims. After Li Chen knew, he also praised the Ministry of Industry, but he also proposed some improvement methods, or tossing methods.

Because the original construction was an army, Li Chen asked the Ministry of Industry to incorporate the victims into the household unit. Then militarized controls are imposed.

It sounds like an exaggeration, a team of disaster victims, to be militarized. It's not that complicated. The main thing is that there will be strict discipline. Let's say, the House Regulations.

It's not that you have to be in the army. For example, as you can see in Taiwan's military education movies, if you fold a quilt, you have to fold it into tofu blocks. The white quilt should be folded neatly. On one side, we folded the quilt, and all four feet collapsed. The army requires that even the water chestnut must be made out, so that it is neat and beautiful.

The army, the assembly is in a hurry. Blow the wake-up horn in the morning, get up soon, and then brush your teeth and wash your face for only a few minutes. If at home, it may not be difficult to complete. But in the army, you have to fold the quilt when you get up, you have to compete with others for the place of the washstand, and finally you have to dress, which is troublesome.

Therefore, many people simply don't cover the quilt. Just carefully move it aside. You don't have to bother tidying up when you get up, just set it up.

Of course, Li Chen did not ask for this, but asked for cleanliness, housekeeping, checking whether everyone was clean, whether the tent was messy and dirty, and so on. This is only one aspect, the so-called militarized management is just strict, and there will be penalties.

If it's just an ordinary engineering team, of course it's not necessary, there's no need to be so strict. But Li Chen has deep expectations for this team.

As we all know, the Song Dynasty often organized the victims into a box army, and then let them engage in some engineering construction. When I don't usually use it, I hang it half-dead.

Li Chen also plans to do so. Organize the victims into an army. However, he will not be wasteful like the Song Dynasty. Patronized the disaster victims into an army, but did not think about how to disband.

In fact, the idea of the Song Dynasty was quite good, to organize the victims into an army, and not let them become rogues, and they were raised half-dead. There is only one hope, and usually there is no rebellion.

Li Chen also plans to do so. However, the Song Dynasty patronized the people, but they didn't think of how to disband them. It just hung like that. In the end, it becomes a heavy burden on the finances. Li Chen would not make such a mistake.

It will allow the army to have strict health regulations, and the internal affairs regulations are only one of them. There is also a normal life, for example, you must not drink raw water, and excrement has to be buried like the army. These are all Li Chen's preparations for the future of the Xiang army.

He knows that at present, Datang, not to mention external expansion. Basically, a lot of places are not fully developed right now. Mainly in the south. Many of the places in the south that have been anointed by later generations are still wild. For example, Hunan and Hui, these places still have belt development.

The development of these places will have to wait until after the Song Dynasty. In other words, it will not be gradually developed until at least five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and another southward migration of the people. It was fully developed until the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Chen's doctrine is that in the north, a densely populated area, if there is a famine, he will organize people into a box army and move south. Build the road first, and move while building the road. Wherever the roads are built, the people are almost gone. First of all, they were provided with food and drink, and after the districts were roughly organized, they were organized on the spot.

In this way, we can not only solve the problem of the disaster victims, prevent them from being displaced, but also achieve the goal of developing new areas. Li Chen gave himself a thumbs up. So, that little soldier is right, there are really a lot of considerations behind the things they think are troublesome.

The so-called not in his position, not in his politics. It's not to tell everyone not to meddle in other people's affairs, or to meddle in other people's affairs, but many times, when you sit in that position, you can understand a lot of things that the lower people can't imagine or can't see.

So, I don't even have an organization to persuade farmers? When these little soldiers worked hard to build roads and were happy to get half a day off out of thin air, Chang'an, Daming Palace, a hundred miles away, Li Chen was... Well? Dizzy? (To be continued.) )
