Chapter 108: Building a Racecourse
ps: The bowl-shaped racecourse is smaller than the Weiyang Palace, and there is no palace building in the middle, so the place will be a very, very important place, and Ma Zhengdaxing also depends on this thing. Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!
"Brother, this is wrong, do you see this racetrack? The prince gave me a thorough bottom, to set up an oval grandstand in this racecourse, at least ten zhang high (about 24 meters) of the stand, you must dig a deep pit to lay the foundation, with cement and wrought iron bars to drive piles up little by little, the wall must be one zhang thick (2.375 meters) in the middle of the masonry can also be, but how much does this consume cement iron stone? How many people do you have to invest? How long is the construction period? ”
Gongbu was stunned, 24 meters high and at least 4 kilometers in circumference, even if the middle of the racecourse is completely empty, it is almost up to the palace group of Chang'an, you must know that each side of Weiyang Palace is about 22oo meters, and the highest point of the building is only 35 zhang.
Such a large project, even if there is no need to build too much in the middle so it saves a lot of time, according to his comparison, it will take at least 50,000 people to work in rotation for half a year, which is still calculated according to the god of rebuilding Chang'an, according to the previous construction of Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace, it will take at least seven or eight years to slowly complete.
Gongbu shook his head: "Such a big project is all for us?" How many years will it take for these thousands of people to complete? ”
"We are the first batch, and there are still people to do it later, don't you see that there are many idle people in the mausoleum near Chang'an, and these people are all powerful landlords who moved from the six countries of Kanto. Those who came early to buy houses and land honestly farmed to make money, and the good land that came late was snatched up, so they could only buy some bad land to make a living. There are at least two or three hundred thousand similar green-skinned scoundrels in each mausoleum, and if they are allowed to continue to rot, they will be put into a separate book and incorporated into Luzuo in less than 2o years, and I don't believe that they are not afraid of Luzuo's treatment. ”
Zheng Tong grinned, the strength of the Qin and Han systems lies in the strict control of the grassroots, and Li Zheng and the high lords have the right to judge whether a person is idle and corrupts the people's customs. As long as he feels that this kid has a bad attitude after repeated teachings, he can report it to the three elders, You Jia, and the pavilion chief, and then report to the county for unified approval after their confirmation, as long as their household registration numbers are put forward and typed as a separate book. and then stamped the official seal and reported it to the county magistrate, and this person fell from the ordinary people to the abyss of the untouchables, and this is how they all came except for those who had city registration.
Let you cause trouble, not pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and let you be idle and flirt with women. Calling you to steal chickens and dogs is a disaster in the township. Call you to corrupt the people's customs in the fishing and food Lu, as long as you are now, you will not escape the doom of being put into another book, at least in this era when the Luli system is basically perfect, you can still achieve strict control, as for the complete collapse after decades or hundreds of years is another story.
Gongbu only felt that his eyes lit up: "When you say this, I think about it, the eldest father (Gongxi) heard that the prince said that he would also recruit a group of people from the six countries of Kanto to beat out all the untouchables in the Guanzhong, and what did he say about water and what is not rotten." As far as I know, Ueda near Yangling has long been bought, and next to it is the Changling Tomb of Emperor Taizu Gao. As early as 50 years ago, there was no land to buy, and I saw that they had no land to buy and eat in Yangling. ”
Zheng Tong said with a smile: "The prince means to think so, let us take the Kanto group of idle people to work, anyway, we are all high-ranking people, as long as some subordinate officials are transferred from the Inner History Mansion together with the county's travelers, the pavilion chief looks at them, and the punishment of whipping on the disobedient slippery head is strictly controlled, it doesn't matter if they don't want to work, they didn't care about the work of eating and living in the horse repair farm and waiting to recruit labor, but now they are not willing to do it, and they will receive more white eyes in the Lu, or they will not be able to mix it up in a few years." ”
"That's a good feeling, our group of Gao Jue people haven't been in battle for ten years, and most of their murderous skills have been wasted, and those rabbit cubs dare to play tricks to the right time, Lao Tzu is trying to use them as sandbags to beat them, to ensure that there is no good place for bruises." Gongbu fiddled with a big fist of a sand bowl, more than ten years ago he used to be a halberd on the chariot, a rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu made him kill from an ordinary good family to the current high lord, a few years ago he retired as a middle-level officer and received a lot of money and food, and there were not a thousand disobedient soldiers in the army, but also eight hundred.
"Brother, it's better to put away this fist, if you open your fist to scare people, who else is willing to work under you, and if you don't obey discipline, it's good to teach you another lesson." The corners of Zheng Tong's mouth twitched a few times.
He didn't want to see this pair of big fists, the two of them fought when they were young, and they didn't suffer less from this iron fist, every time they fought, they couldn't beat Gongbu, and when they got home, they had to be whipped by his grandfather, on the grounds that if they couldn't beat people, they would have to be beaten when they went home, and they could only be exempted from punishment if they were beaten, and Gongbu knew that this brother remembered the unpleasant experience of his youth, and he smiled and put away his fists and stood up to get the tools to work.
Within a few days, the two cities of Chang'an posted a recruitment order, Shaofu recruited idle people to build a racecourse, requiring adult healthy men between the ages of 15 and 50 to be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, obey the arrangement, abide by the law, and have no illegal records Priority, the treatment is to eat and live in one stone of corn per month, and recruit a master of mud and water, civil engineering, brick and wall construction, the salary and treatment can be negotiable, interested candidates can register in their respective Luli, and the information on the number of household registration is reported to the county order and then transferred from the Shaofu selection.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar, the power of the ancient version of the recruitment brochure was incomparably powerful, and within three days, the threshold of Shaofu was almost flattened, and the county orders of the seventy-five counties in Guanzhong were all gathered in front of Shaofu, and behind them were the three elders from all over the country who stretched out their heads to poke their heads, and even the left and right internal histories couldn't sit still, and they almost wanted to move the yamen to Shaofu is office.
The benefits of the Han system are undoubtedly revealed, the common people do not look for the police when they encounter trouble, and go directly to their own Luli Zhuangzi to find Li Zheng to solve, Li Zheng is full of military merit warriors with high titles, and if they can't solve it, they will go to the three elders in charge of education in the township, the pavilion chief in charge of military affairs, the tour in charge of public security, the rank of intuitive administration, and the husband in charge of taxation and servitude.
This grassroots system can solve any disputes encountered at the grassroots level, only the big crime such as murder or the township can not be suppressed by the big and powerful landlords, will be guarded by the county, the county governor level of the 2,000 stone high-ranking officials to intervene, the simple and strict system is not only the organization is strong, when necessary, it can also act as the role of the neighborhood committee, for the residents to show the identity certificate with seals.
The identity certificate of a similar letter of introduction is counted by the rank officials in the township, and then summarized in the hands of the county magistrate and then reported to the internal history office, and the left and right internal history get the information for preliminary selection, and put those with criminal records into a separate book, and those with bad conduct into a secondary register, and a supplementary explanation for disability or illness, after all, recruiting workers is to work hard, not to recruit pensioners.
Shaofu inside and outside the busy dizzy, the internal history of the mansion is also complaining, the entire internal history of the seventy-five counties of 12o million, the total population of more than 57o million, out of Chang'an City nearly 60,000 households, Chang'an outside the city around several large Lingyi population is around 50,000 households, Xinfeng, Lantian and other large counties also have 50,000 households.
One sixtieth of such a population is impulsive, and there is also a labor force of nearly 10,000 people, 10,000 people, fortunately it is convenient to count the number of people in August, but it is even more difficult to count the number of people a few months earlier, because the population of each county changes every year.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is only separated by a wall from Weiyang Palace, the small courtyard where the Prime Minister works is silent, only the tireless chirping of Zhizhi hanging high in the treetops.
After a busy morning's work, Wei Juan stretched his waist and lay on the comfortable recliner, he was relatively young when he was a prime minister, but he was quite aggrieved, he couldn't grasp the power in his hands, and it was hard to do things well.
"Have you heard anything about Changshi in the Pingyang Hou Mansion? For example, this recruitment of workers to repair the racecourse. ”
Prime Minister Shi Tianren immediately understood, and shook his head firmly: "I only stayed in the Hou Mansion for a short time, the Hou of Pingyang didn't say anything to me, and the servants in the Hou Mansion didn't reveal the news, after all, he was the son of the servant of the Hou family, and his strict mouth was also very understandable." ”
Wei Juan muttered: "Shaofu's idea is good, a bit of a cash-for-work meaning, but what is the point of spending internal money to build a racecourse?" No matter how gorgeous a racetrack is, it is still just a racetrack after all, could it be that he has other plans, and he must use 600,000 people to build a big building? No, if it's just to build a racetrack, he doesn't have to make a big move so much, the big movement made by Shaofu, the palace has never expressed too much of a position, it is not strange that the prince supports Shaofu's plan, why does the Son of Heaven still acquiesce to Shaofu's nonsense? ”
The direction of the wind in the court is changing, even if he is the prime minister, he can't know everything, not to mention that he, the prime minister, is just a puppet supported by the emperor, the seriously ill son of heaven in the Weiyang Palace does not speak, he does not dare to rashly make a strong opposition, and the reactions of other people in the three princes and nine kings are also very strange, and the princes don't seem to be able to figure out Cao Shi's plans, and everyone is guessing what medicine is sold in the gourd of Shaofu.
Puzzled, Wei Wan slapped the recliner of the Shaofu system and said angrily: "If he hadn't spent the royal money, the old man would never have connived at him fooling around, so just press it for the time being, just wait for the old grain in the Shaofu warehouse to eat up and then see what Shaofu says." ”
Tian Ren sighed and was very worried in his heart, spending a lot of financial resources to build a racecourse that seemed useless, he couldn't understand the thoughts of Pingyang Hou Cao Shi at all, and could only secretly pray that God hoped for a smooth future. (To be continued!)
