Chapter 733: Sudden Change in Wind and Cloud

@@@

Kaifeng Mansion Yin Hu Zongyu's illness was finally cured and he officially took over the land acquisition case in Su Dongpo's hands.

He is diametrically opposed to Su Dongpo's procrastination, ignoring all interference, acting resolutely, arresting and beating those who should be arrested, and there is no saying that punishment is not allowed in the first trial of the case this year.

The first person to be brought to the hall was Kang Qi, the steward of the Anlu County Palace, Hu Zongyue didn't say a word, he was shocked, he threw the arrow, and then he was punished first, who let you sue the official with the people?

After a big punishment, when the bloody Kang Qi was dragged to the lobby again, before he could harden his mouth, Hu Zongyue first said coldly: "Kang Qi, you disobeyed the order, gathered all people, beat the court officials, injured the forbidden soldiers, and acted as a conspiracy, can you be guilty?" ”

Kang Qi's expression changed drastically, Hu Zongyue's tone was completely different from the tone of Su Dongpo's previous trial, in his guess, it was very likely that the imperial court had re-set the tone of the case, if that was the case, it would be over.

Kang Qi knew very well in his heart that their behavior at that time was indeed enough to convict a major crime of rebellion, but this could not be admitted, this was a major crime of the Nine Clans, and they could not admit it if they were killed.

"My lord, I am wronged! The little people are wronged! It was the unjust officials who ordered the forbidden army to beat us."

Hu Zongyue didn't wait for him to finish, then smiled calmly: "Bold Kangqi, you are full of nonsense, but you haven't figured out one thing, although the forbidden army went out of the city to participate in land requisition, but it is only responsible for maintaining order, whether it is the household department or the officials of Sinong Temple, they have no right to order these forbidden troops, you say that the illegal officials ordered the forbidden army to beat people, it is nonsense at all, since you are not honest." If you try to quibble, then you can't blame the official. Come on! Pull it down, and the punishment is waiting! ”

"Your Excellency. My lord, the villain is wrong, it was the general of the forbidden army who ordered the beating, my lord, you can't bend into a move, my lord"

"Oh, according to what you say, since the general of the forbidden army ordered the beating of people, then the beating has nothing to do with the officials of the household department and Sinong Temple?"

"This"

"What is this? Say! It was not the officials of the Ministry of Household and Sinong Temple who ordered the beating. ”

Hu Zongyue slapped the shocked wood. Staring at Kang Qi's violent drinking, Kang Qi's heart was frightened, just now he was deceived by Hu Zongyue, and hastily changed his words and said that the general of the forbidden army ordered to beat people, and now he must not change his words, otherwise he will rebel on this court, and he will be looking for death.

"My lord, it's right that the general of the forbidden army ordered to beat people, but"

Hu Zongyu interrupted him again and said, "Since it wasn't the officials of the Ministry of Household and Sinong Temple who ordered the beating. Then you first besiege the officials of the imperial court, this is a rebellion, Kang Qi, you lead people to besiege the household officials first. Moreover, it was you who first pushed Ding Fan, a member of the household department, to the ground and kicked it. At that time, many laborers who were carrying land out of the city saw this, and they could all be recruited;

Again. Kang Qi, you probably don't know yet, your Anlu County Wangfu's family Ding Wang Er is in order to atone for his sins. has already confessed, but the official wants to see how long you can quibble with this slave. ”

"My lord, Xiaomin was wronged, Xiaomin didn't push him, he accidentally fell, and it was true that he asked Xiaomin for a bribe first."

"Kang Qi, you first beat the court officials, this official has many witnesses, and you can't deny it, as for whether the household officials have asked you for bribes, it doesn't matter if you just say it with empty words and white teeth, you must have stolen money as evidence;

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the household officials really ask for bribes, you only need to come to this mansion to report it, how the imperial court deals with illegal officials has His Majesty and the Queen Mother's decision, how can you allow Er and others to act on your behalf?

You and others gathered thousands of people, made trouble in Gyeonggi, beat the imperial court officials, and resisted the imperial court's land requisition, what is this not a rebellion? Kang Qi, do you recruit or not? ”

"Adult, the villain is wronged, the villain has no intention of rebellion"

"Come on, pull it down, the big punishment is waiting, the official wants to see, when will this evil slave have a hard mouth, let him taste the eighteen punishments one by one."

The case in Kaifeng Mansion seems to have nothing to do with Yang Yi, because no one knows that Hu Zongyue is his person, and he tried his best to control Hu Zongyu in order to better control the capital, and now the value of this chess piece has finally been fully reflected.

At the beginning, Zhao Ji was held by him, and he is still obediently at his mercy, if he can master some more of the handles of the powerful in Beijing this time, it will be of great use in the future, so Yang Yi decided to take this move.

But he won't be directly involved in the whole thing, so every day he is still busy with the expansion of the capital.

Zhang Dian used a trick to quickly complete the land acquisition work, clearing the main obstacle for the expansion project presided over by Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was not ambiguous, he used the strange trick of digging treasures to level the inner city wall with a circumference of twenty miles in six days, which was definitely an astonishing speed.

Then it is to transport the bricks and soil to the northeast corner outside the city to pile up, because the distance is short, the progress is also very fast, tens of thousands of people work together, it takes a few days to transport the waste bricks and soil on the original east and north sides.

On the other hand, a mountain bag ten miles outside the city dispatched a battalion of forbidden troops, blasted the rocks with explosives, and then chiseled the craftsmen who were the supervisors into stones and used them to make roads.

Specifically, the middle of the road is paved with stone strips, and the two sides are paved with specially fired large bricks, such as a road 50 meters wide, and the middle 20 meters are paved with bluestone strips for daily carriages and horses, and the two sides are paved with 15 meters wide bricks.

Anyway, everyone likes to walk in the middle, and twenty meters wide is enough for ten carriages to run in parallel. When it is congested, it is okay to drive on the large brick paved road on both sides.

This kind of big brick is larger than the city bricks used to build the city wall, about 60 centimeters long, about 30 centimeters wide, and about 15 centimeters thick.

He let the cart weighing two or three thousand catties run over it repeatedly, and kept pouring water on it during the period, imitating the environment on a rainy day.

After a few days of testing, this kind of large brick has no fracture and no sinking. The ground can always be kept flat and successfully passed the acceptance.

So Yang Yi went to the table. He asked the imperial court to open more brick kilns to specialize in firing such large bricks. There are several benefits to paving with such large bricks;

One is that this kind of large brick is easier to chisel than to chisel stone. It can speed up the progress of the project;

Second, this kind of large brick specification system, the paved road surface is smoother, more beautiful, and the road surface will be broken in the future, and it will be more convenient to replace it;

The third is that the pavement paved with bluestone strips will become slippery if you walk too much, especially on rainy days, people and horses are easy to slip on it, and the pavement paved with large bricks no matter how long you walk, you don't have to worry about the road surface becoming slippery.

Fourth, in the hot weather, the bluestone pavement is extremely hot. If it is fully paved with bluestone slabs, and the large population in the city, the high temperature in the city will be further exacerbated. And this kind of large brick has a certain water absorption, no matter how hot the weather is, it will not look too hot.

Yang Yi listed the benefits of laying large bricks one by one, and the imperial court quickly approved his application and sent people to open a brick kiln outside the city to fire.

The first ring road in the city is stepping up to consolidate the lower subgrade, because the first ring road is built along the original inner city moat, and the two moats have a road surface 60 meters wide each. There is a five-meter-wide tooth path along the river, and a guardrail has to be added to ensure the safety of pedestrians, and now the guardrail is also being intensified.

Expansion of the lifting division. Shen Qingzhi, Sima Bofang, Su Xiu, Wade and others walked into Yang Yi's signing room together, and everyone had their own division of labor, but today they asked Yang Yi a question in unison: manpower is not enough.

Shen Qingzhi was the first to speak: "My lord." We only have 60,000 laborers on our hands, and 40,000 are currently concentrated on the laying of the first ring road. Only 20,000 people were used for the excavation of the foundations of the outer city walls, due to the small number of people. Progress is extremely slow;

In the future, when the outer city wall is built, the large stone strips at the foundation of the wall will need to be transported, the transportation of wall bricks and three-layer soil, bricklaying, and rammed earth will require a lot of manpower.

Besides, now the agricultural season is fine, once after March into the busy agricultural season, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of laborers can not be guaranteed, such a large project, to us tens of thousands of people, is really everywhere lack of people, everywhere is constrained, the longer the construction period drags on, the more silver is consumed, and the greater the impact on people's livelihood. ”

Sima Bofang then bombarded: "My lord, it is now the winter farming season, and the population around Gyeonggi is dense, even if another 120,000 people are requisitioned, it will not be a problem, my lord, the lower officials do not ask for 200,000, you can give another 60,000." Otherwise, with so many things, the lower officials really have no way to start. ”

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "I'll go to the political hall to grind my lips about this matter, and I don't dare to guarantee how much manpower I can get now." However, you should also figure out for yourselves how you can save manpower and get things done.

For example, the official felt that the excavation of the wall foundation of the outer city could be placed in the back, and the moat of the outer city could be dug out first, so that in the future, many materials could be transported directly to every point in the outer city by boat from the Bianhe, Wuzhang River, Cai River, and Huimin River;

This will definitely save a lot of manpower, but whether digging the moat first will affect the stability of the city wall, and how to deal with the soil dug out of the wall foundation in the future, these things are not clear to me, and you need to carefully demonstrate and practice;

I'm just making an analogy to remind you that the order of work is very important, and you must arrange the order of work reasonably while ensuring quality. ”

"Yes, sir."

"Also, in terms of tools, we should try to improve ideas, and the same good tools can greatly save power."

Yang Yi thought of the hand-pulled hoist crane often used in later generations, the structure of this thing is not complicated, and it is not limited by the site, and it can be used by erecting an iron frame;

In the future, the wall foundation will be paved with a large number of large stone strips, if there is this kind of hand-pulled hoist crane, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the intensity of the work, speed up the progress of the implementation, and save the power.

He took a pen and paper and drew a drawing of the structure of the hoist crane.

The chain block is rotated by dragging the hand chain and hand chain wheel, and the friction plate ratchet and brake seat are pressed into one and rotated together, and the 5-tooth long shaft rotates the plate gear, 4-tooth short shaft and spline hole gear.

In this way, the lifting sprocket, which is installed on the spline hole gear, drives the lifting chain, so that the heavy load is lifted smoothly. The ratchet friction plate one-way brake is adopted, which can brake by itself under load, and the pawl is meshed with the ratchet under the action of the spring to ensure the safe operation of the brake.

Its structure is not too complicated, and it is definitely not a problem to manufacture the ability to be a prisoner.

After Yang Yi drew a rough structural diagram, he marked the principle with words, and then handed it to Su Xiudao: "You are the master of the prison, and this matter will be handled for you, so that the general will develop this kind of gourd as soon as possible, and it will be of great use in the construction of the city in the future." ”
