For the current amount of work in the West Lake remediation project, Wang Mumu has a lot of ideas. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As the most praised project in Su Shi's life, the renovation of the West Lake has big problems in planning and design, project organization, project purpose, construction management, etc. For example, in the budget and final accounts of the project, there is obviously an obvious suspicion of major embezzlement.

Later generations mentioned Su Shi's renovation of the West Lake, often admired Su Daren's big hand, for the people of Hangzhou to do a big project, this project is so big that it already needs the approval of the imperial court, and to the central financial support, Su Shi also made a special case from the emperor because of the need to renovate the West Lake to get 200 degrees (some say 100, some say 300). Generally speaking, it is more consistent that Su Shi used more than 200,000 migrant workers when he renovated the West Lake.

Wang Mumu is thinking, more than 200,000 should be people. Theoretically, it can be understood that 20 people worked for more than 10,000 days, or 10,000 people worked for more than 20 days. These more than 200,000 person-times, the labor is not small, but for the huge West Lake, this labor is too little. There is a good comparison material here, which is the dredging of the West Lake in the third year of Ming Zhengde.

In the third year of Ming Zhengde (1508), Yang Mengying, the prefect of Hangzhou, overrode public opinion, and with the support of the patrol of the imperial history Cheliang, he requested the dredging of the West Lake, which was funded by the Ministry of Industry. According to the first volume of the Ming "West Lake Excursion Journal": "Construction started in February of this year,...... For 152 days, 6.7 million for the husband, 23,607 taels of straight silver, and 3,481 acres of ...... were demolished. "In addition to widening the Su embankment, the long embankment (i.e., Yanggong embankment) was piled up in the western part of the lake; Around the base of the old three towers in the outer lake, build a circular embankment, imitate the three towers of Su Shi outside the ridge and build 3 hollow stone towers.

Looking at the amount of work, the mud from the lake in the Ming Dynasty this time can double the width of the existing Su Causeway in the lake, and two embankments have been built. This shows that the lake mud produced this time should be basically the same as Su Shi's dredging amount this time. Looking at the geometric size, the increment of the Su embankment is basically equivalent to its body, and the volume of the two newly built embankments is slightly smaller than the filling amount of the Su Shi project, which can be roughly regarded as quite, which can also be understood as "restoring the old Tang and Song dynasties".

However, you see, under the premise of the same amount of work, how much manpower did Ming Yang Mengying use at that time? "6.7 million for the husband", which is 33 times that of Su Shi's "more than 200,000"!

Ming Yang Mengying's "6.7 million for the husband" is also counted here, then, because Yang Mengying's project is "152 days for the maid", it can be understood that there are more than 44,078 operators in Rixia Lake. By analogy with the same amount, if Su Shi's dredging is also the scale of 44,078 people in this Rixia Lake (Ming Yang Mengying imitated Su Shi's behavior, so it can be extrapolated; In fact, the amount of dredging of later generations under the guiding ideology of dredging at that time, when it will only be less than that of predecessors, and not more than the amount of engineering of the previous dynasty), then, with 200,000 divisions, Su Shi's dredging project took a total of more than four and a half days, rounded into five days, hehe, isn't this a farce? A big project that fell into history will be a small long holiday, isn't it ridiculous? So, this West Lake dredging, isn't it just dredging as a subject matter, doing whatever you want under this banner? Under the cover of the project, doing what you want to do but can't say it?

Now, Wang Mumu wants to figure things out, he surveyed the construction site on the spot, and saw that the length of the Su Causeway is about 880 zhang, the width is about 5 zhang, and one foot is 31.68cm in the Song Dynasty, so the Su Causeway is about 2788 meters long and 15.84 meters wide. The Su Causeway that Wang Mumu saw in his previous life is 2,797 meters long, 30-40 meters wide, and 0.4 meters above the lake surface. Compared with the two, the length difference is about 9 meters, which should be the spacing between the two "mouths" in the word "hui". The width is more than doubled, and the wide Su Causeway was mainly formed after the dredging of the West Lake by Yang Mengying in the Ming Dynasty.

History also records that the leaders of the Hangzhou government after Su Shi dredged the West Lake several times, and their basic practices were based on Su Shi's model, and they did not go ashore after the lake mud was lifted, let alone far away. For example, Yang Mengying in the Ming Dynasty widened the Su Causeway and built two long causeways (Yanggong Causeway) by widening the lake mud. For example, in the fifth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1727), Li Wei, the governor of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, used 42,742 taels of silver to dredge the West Lake and build four weirs. For example, in the fifth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1800), Ruan Yuan dredged the West Lake, and the lake mud was built by Ruan Yuan to build a Ruan Gong pier.

Now, Wang Mumu is looking at the West Lake, estimating the work of Master Su. Wang Mumu calculated, this Su Daren's 200,000 workers can't do anything at all! Ignoring the mud in the lake that fills in the gap between the word "Hui" mentioned above, we can see how ridiculous the dredging of the West Lake is!

You see, the 2788-meter Su Causeway, the width of the face is 15.84 meters, the slope on both sides is 45 degrees, and the depth of the lake is calculated by the average lake depth of 2.28 meters (in fact, the lake near the embankment is shallow, and the center of the lake is the deepest), then the earthwork of the Su Causeway is 115182 cubic meters, such as the 12,000 people who Wang Mumu saw to work in the lake, then the average person only needs to move 9.6 cubic meters of mud! In this situation, it can be done in one day! It is to count the gap in the word "back", double it, and it is less than 20 square meters per capita, and you can finish it in one day!

If the Ming people imitate Su Shi's labor scale of 44,078 people, and add Su Di and "Hui" together, it only needs to move more than 5 cubic meters of mud per capita! Half a day's business!

Therefore, the aforementioned small long vacation, 5 days of workload, is already 5 times the water!

As for the efficiency of migrant workers moving mud in this era, here, Wang Mumu has underestimated it!

You see, the workers in the lake, they take the mud from the bottom of the lake, or they rip off the fields of the farmers (which is less work), and put the mud in some small boats and large wooden basins, so that the parallel movement of the mud in the water can be done very easily. When the mud in the boat arrives at the destination, we know that the destination is also somewhere in the West Lake, so as long as the boat is turned on its side, more than 99% of the lake mud can be easily counted as work points. This workload is much smaller than that of earthwork on land, and much less than the throwing work of going ashore and barging, except that some of the water in the local lake water is used to pound the lake water.

In fact, it is really necessary to seriously dredge and discharge mud and throw moats, like later generations, silt, make green manure, and sprinkle farmland, then, the process should be like this: mud in the lake→ mud in the lake→ mud ashore→ lake mud transported out→ lake mud landed. In these links, in fact, the most arduous and laborious is the "lake mud ashore" and "lake mud transport", even if the "lake mud transport" only takes two miles (this is the shortest distance to digest a huge amount of lake mud), then, after calculation, now the dredging used in the "lake mud", "lake mud", "lake mud" three total is less than half of the total labor service (5%) of the shore mud.

Now, Wang Mumu is thinking about the problem of the West Lake project of the Su people from the other end of the project. In history, Su Shi prepared the surplus money for the relief of the West Lake, 10,000 stones, and 200 degrees (200 is said here, it is 100 plus 100, and the reasons will be introduced later). A lot of money is always money. Then one of the project costs is 10,000 yuan in cash.

In addition, "grain ten thousand stones", converted into silver, the Song Dynasty 1 city jin is 640 grams, the Song Dynasty 1 stone is 92.5 Song Jin (Shen Kuo's Mengxi pen talk volume three, "all the stone is 92 and a half catties for the law, is the Han scale 341 catties also"), so one stone of rice is 59.2 kilograms. During the reign of Song Renzong, a stone of rice was between 600 and 700 wen, and the price of rice in the early Southern Song Dynasty was about 2 guan. Therefore, when it was Song Zhezong, it could be calculated for 900 yuan per stone.

As for the degree, the Song Dynasty not only has a legal price, but its price also increases day by day with the expansion of the scope of use. So, in the Song Dynasty, the degree could be used as a currency. In the Song Dynasty, when it was sold cheaply, it could also be sold for twenty or thirty yuan, and when it was expensive, it cost eight or nine hundred yuan. In the seventh year of Yuanfeng (1084), the order was 130,000 for each road, and the Kuizhou Road was 300,000, and it was reduced to 190,000 in the second time, and the current price was 300,000 during the Yuanyou period. Therefore, the 200 degrees that Su Shi wants to come can count 60,000 times. As for the rumors that Lord Su got "a hundred monks and sold it for 17,000 yuan" this time, this is obviously not only less meteors, but also sold at a low unit price! The original situation, the way to accumulate money, everyone understands, I will not repeat it here.

Therefore, in total, the total cost of the West Lake renovation project by Su Daren is 77,000 yuan. That is, the amount of expenditure is 79,000.

In this West Lake renovation project, there are basically no material costs, tax fees, surcharges and preliminary preparation fees, only labor costs. In this way, it can be calculated that based on 200,000 people, per capita, one day of labor can get 395 Wen or more, which is more than ten times the labor standard under normal circumstances. In Song, 25.98 kg of rice can be purchased. This is a very abnormal profiteering business, which is basically equivalent to robbing a store.

According to previous data, in this project, the daily labor cost per person can be roughly 395~790 documents. In the Song Dynasty, according to records, the monthly income of urban residents per household is about 20 yuan, and the daily income is about 666 wen, which is 66.6 wen per day based on 10 people in a household. Therefore, the data keys coincide, and the above budget estimate should be established. In other words, according to the market price, the money raised by Su Daren has greatly covered the cost of the project.

At that time, according to the "Song People's Living Standards and Currency Investigation", the lower class people spent about 30 Wen per day, and in this era, one or two Wen could buy enough snacks for four or five people, such a project, in the Ming Dynasty, the per capita income was not even 4 Wen. In this way, this daily expenditure of 395 Wen is really "eating husband". So who ate the meat of the "husband"? Or, who is it mainly eaten by? Wang Mumu really didn't dare to say it, because he just knew that the project money was a financial method of "cash-for-work". This is still to learn from Fan Zhongyan's practice in the second year of Huangyou (1050) when the great famine in Wuzhong, if the labor in Xiahu is all as reported in some records that the labor fees are all "work for relief", the aforementioned 79,000 yuan of the Su people is a duplicate account. This is too filthy, and it can't match the glorious image of Master Su in any case. Originally, toshiba, toshiba, let's steal, let's steal, let's steal! People will be greedy because people have the ability, people dare to steal because people dare to gamble, people can be greedy because people have backers, this, not the current Wang Mumu can manage, it's just that these people are greedy, half of the money from the treasury comes from Wang Mumu's tribute, so Wang Mumu is very unhappy!

Regarding the financial concept of "cash-for-work" for the renovation of the West Lake, Wang Mumu has long been ingrained in his education and reading in his previous life. Among them, some articles read: "...... Hangzhou West Lake Su Causeway is the Northern Song Dynasty Yuanyou five years (1090), when the poet Su Shi (Dongpo) was the governor of Hangzhou, dredging the West Lake, using the 100 monks given to him by the imperial court "Du Mu", using the method of work for relief to recruit people to open the lake, spending more than 200,000 ......"

Su Shi exchanged these "degrees" for money. The money was not enough, so Su Shi wrote and painted charity sales to raise funds, and at the same time proposed to work for relief to mobilize everyone to participate in the dredging of the West Lake project......"

As the Taishou of Hangzhou, while he made every effort to deal with the two major disasters of famine and epidemic, he also made the dredging of the West Lake the top priority during his tenure. After investigation, Su Shi decided to use the ...... of "work for relief"

Under his auspices, in 1090, the construction of a large-scale dredging of the West Lake began. Su Shi adopted the method of cash-for-work to mobilize 200,000 people to go to the lake to dig for dredging......"

Under his auspices, in 1090, large-scale dredging of the West Lake began. Without funds, Su Dongpo sold the degree of 100 monks given to him by the imperial court for 17,000 yuan, and adopted the method of cash-for-work ......" and so on, although some of the statements are different, but there is "cash-for-work" is the same. Here, it is said that today's "work" is used to replace the future "relief", and it is said that fundraising is not enough to "work for relief" to patch, Wang Mumu is now at the scene, and he can see it very clearly, here is the former situation, think about it is actually very simple, you think, all those who move water conservancy, are good farmers and businessmen, and the government has surplus funds in the non-famine era, in this case, there is no disaster and no famine, how can there be a concept of "relief"!

As for the saying that this "work for relief" is based on today's dredging work, and the "money", "grain" and "degree" obtained from fundraising are counted as "relief", which is even more impossible! Wang Mumu saw that this is the case, and the rationality of the reason is also the same, so Su Shi is already short of funds in this West Lake project, how can he easily sell the money he raised from the imperial court? He also "mortgaged" the project money in the project, and he used "work for relief" to "mortgage", and he used tomorrow's conscription for today's project. However, for this "relief", Wang Mumu thought of Du Mu and felt that there seemed to be a problem inside, but this, put it aside for the time being, has yet to be verified.

In fact, compared with Ming Yang Mengying's dredging of the West Lake's "23,600 taels of straight silver", Su Shi's 77,000 guan this time is really too greedy for ink. You calculate, Ming people, under the auspices of Yang Mengying, "6.7 million for the husband", "23,607 taels of straight silver", which is equivalent to 3.5 wen per person. The Song people were 77,000 and 200,000 people, which is equivalent to 385 Wen per person. Although the Song Dynasty was richer than the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was in the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was in the Song Dynasty. And now, Lord Su's salary is more than 100 times higher than that of Lord Yang, and he has to drag an oil bottle of "cash for work" that can be owed wages, isn't this deceiving the imperial court? Lie to the people? Lie to history? Lie to you and me?

Now, the reality is that Master Su still thinks that there is a lack of funds at hand, so the entire dredging project is lazy to pile up a "Su Causeway". This "Su Causeway" is not the target of the project plan, and it is not in "Begging for the West Lake". So, of course, there will be no other designs and fabrications for this unexpected object, such as the Su Causeway Six Bridge! The embankment is not in the plan, so where does the bridge start? If the skin does not exist, can the hair be attached?

Speaking of the Sixth Bridge of Su Causeway, in fact, this is also an angle to see the true face of the dredging of the West Lake. This time the dredging of the West Lake, so far, the project expenditure is all labor costs and labor costs. Generally speaking, the estimated budget of an ordinary construction project, an ordinary renovation project, or even general equipment manufacturing and ironwood labor can be roughly estimated in this way, that is, "the quantity is halved". That is, to build a house, 100,000 yuan is the material cost, and the labor cost is about 100,000 yuan (here is the workshop cost, not counting the land fee and various deed taxes). With the cheapness of the materials of different projects and the difficulty of labor, this "half" can also be played by 50%. Therefore, the labor and materials of the general budget are between 25% to 75% and 75% to 25%, with special exceptions. The current dredging of the West Lake is a very special situation, and its expenditure is almost pure labor.

At present, in the dredging of the West Lake, the mud is moved around in the West Lake, and there is no material cost, only labor cost. However, if the six bridges are to be built, there is a material cost. Moreover, the collection, transportation, construction, and carving of those stone slabs in this era all require professionals, not ordinary migrant workers. This is what the current Su Da's mental strength and financial resources do not want to bear and cannot bear. This is the reason why Wang Mumu can only see a solid mound and can't see the six bridges at the moment. In fact, it can be inserted here that the Su Causeway was built for the convenience of transportation on the north and south banks. Oh, such a solid embankment divides the West Lake into two, and since then, the water traffic of the West Lake has not been connected to each other. Based on the West Lake, whether it is swimming, planting, fishing, this solid embankment, not enough success, more than failure! Therefore, Su Causeway is an intermediate of a semi-pull project, that is, an unfinished building in the lake. As for the Sixth Bridge of Su Causeway, it is the result of the implementation of the renovation project of Solid Su Causeway, and it is to use Solid Su Causeway as a wet dough, and whoever gets it will continue to contribute.

Some people may say, when you Wang Mumu compared the dredging project of the West Lake with Yang Mengying in the Ming Dynasty, why did you use Yang Mengying as the standard to compare Su Shi's absurdity? Why don't you take Su Shi's as the norm and compare Yang Mengying's inefficiency? Here, on the one hand, Wang Mumu took into account Yang Mengying's governance at that time and the process of his project, and his two big data should be admitted. For example, in history, Ming Yang Mengying "is 23,607 taels of straight silver", just imagine, such a large project, the budget and final accounts of the project can be accurate to single digits, in that era, this financial is very good. And Su Shi, his reputation in history is much greater than that of Yang Mengying, but you see, his project is a mess! His level is really high, can he spend "10,000 dollars, 10,000 stones, 200 degrees"? Just right?

Of course, the matter of Ming Yang Mengying that Wang Mumu knows in his heart cannot be listed here, it is a matter of the Ming Dynasty, it is a matter of the future, how can it be compared and narrated in the Song Dynasty as a case? In fact, here, the main thing is that even if you don't compare Yang Mengying, calculate according to the amount of work, compare with each other, and complement each other, the absurdity of Master Su should be revealed to the world! It's just that for hundreds of years, no one has ever looked at Su Causeway from this angle! No one has ever looked at the West Lake dredging project of Lord Su from this angle! No one has ever looked at Su Shi from this angle! No one has ever looked at the civil official clique of scholars and scholars in the Song Dynasty and the upper and lower dynasties from this perspective! Because there was no Audit Bureau then, because there was no Independent Commission Against Corruption then! Because there was no Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at that time! Because people in the liberal arts don't use numbers to analyze Su Shi like this! Because people who study financial management will not audit, it is their own glorious image! Like, the reason why people are human beings, people's own passwords can answer many questions, but no one regards their own body as a "human planet", so even if the answer is right in front of them, they are still ignorant! Or turn a blind eye! Or can't believe it! ……

Some people may say, is the data objective when you Wang Mumu calculates the above projects? Then, if someone really comes to rebuke Wang Mumu, Wang Mumu will also point out confidently that the above-mentioned data has been biased in the opposite direction unfavorable to Su Shi, and there is no need to use the eyes of an actuary, anyone who can make budget estimates can understand it. The analysis is good, it is very beneficial, and the person in charge of this project is seriously suspected of being greedy for ink.

Wang Mumu thought about it, a heroic righteousness and an inexplicable resentment were born together, the public funds of the imperial court, the blood and sweat of the people, and their own foreign aid, so inexplicably let people fill their pockets, the more they thought about it, the more they couldn't figure it out, Wang Mumu began to write a recital to the Empress Dowager Gao. In the past, Wang Mumu and the eldest princess also had a monthly report and letter to the Empress Dowager Gao in Bianjing, but basically they were all clichés, saying what was in the tribute, saying some interesting anecdotes, and saying some parents' shortcomings. But this time, Wang Mumu got angry, and in the middle of the recital, he stated everything he had seen and heard in the past few days, and prepared to send it to the capital with the tribute......

Afterwards, Wang Mumu also thought, if, one day, I will go back to the 21st century, I will reveal the truth about the Su people's rectification of the West Lake, I will analyze the income and expenditure of this project to the media, and I will write a paper on the mysteries, hehe, I don't know if I will be guilty of my words? I wonder if I will be shot to death by Su Fan? I wonder if I will be sprayed to death by the people of Hangzhou? I wonder if I will drown in the sea of the people's war? ……
