There is nothing wrong with that, to work in a dangerous place is to play with your life to earn money.

No one reported this kind of thing to Li Yuanxing about adding money, so it was naturally a solution that the people below came up with.

Many people have died in this Qinling Mountain, if it is placed in the former Sui, I am afraid that it will not be added to a penny, and will use leather whips and military steel knives to force these people to work.

Now this is Datang, and there are Datang sergeants here, but their duty is not to oversee the work.

The Tang sergeants at the Qinling Railway construction site, their first task was to prevent wild beasts from suddenly coming out and hurting people. Then it is to prevent some foreign spies from approaching, and the most important thing is to maintain order, but not to manage the work. I'm just afraid that someone will fight, make trouble, or something like that.

As he was talking, he heard a strange noise from inside the cave.

The squad leader's face changed: "This hole is probably the most difficult to hit in the front and back thirty miles." With a length of 300 steps, I'm afraid I'm going to throw a few lives into it. ”

When it came to throwing a few lives into it, the squad leader's expression eased a little.

Li Yuanxing asked at the moment: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid, how can you not be afraid. My woman and doll are at home, and I am still counting on the payment of wages this time, and I will go back to buy a house in Chang'an City. The house is optimistic, with a two-entry room of 500 feet. ”

The 500 feet that the squad leader said was the living area.

Li Yuanxing doesn't do anything like construction area in Datang, and 500 feet is actually not small. Converted to modern standards, it is about 57 square meters of saleable area. The second room is a two-bedroom and a living room, for the ordinary. This is already a good house.

Over there, a middle-aged man in his forties, but with some gray hair, had already rushed over with a few people.

"Check it out!" Li Yuanxing was about to go over, and Pei Xi blocked in front of him: "That, that Fang Gong said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so ......" Pei Xi said that he would not let Li Yuanxing get close to the construction site, even if a stone cut his hand, it would be a very big deal in Pei Xi's opinion.

"Ten steps closer, listen!"

"Ten steps, just ten steps!" After Pei Xi measured the distance of ten steps, he looked at Li Yuanxing with a smile.

The squad leader also smiled: "You must be a big man from Chang'an." We've seen it before. There are always some big people who come to this construction site quietly. You're busy! "Anyway, the team leader will get into the crowd at once, even if Li Yuanxing wants to be afraid, the road workers here are all dressed the same. How to find it.

Li Yuanxing took ten steps forward. That's the 10 steps of shrinkage.

Pei Xi blocked the person next to him. Four guards stood around Li Yuanxing. The roadman is not without eyes, he feels that this is a big man, and he unnaturally gets out of the way.

The master of the white craftsmen over there had already led people close to the cave. But he didn't dare to go in, and after observing outside the cave for a while, he shook his head.

Troublesome, very troublesome, and rocks constantly falling from the cave, which in itself is a great danger.

If there are dozens of more lives, I don't know how many orphans and widows will be compensated.

"Reinforcement, this place must be reinforced first. Arrange for the transportation of 3,000 wooden piles and 8,000 beams and columns. It may be a way to strengthen the past here, but it is not absolutely effective, you should be careful when working, do not use storm detonators, and rely on manpower to dig this section of the most difficult through. ”

At that moment, someone asked: "Will this mountain all collapse?" ”

"No, there are several mountain springs here, so they are constantly seeping in, making the stones a little loose. In such a situation, the rocks that can only be shaken by storm thunder tubes fall, and if they are driven purely by manpower, even if they are slower, they will not collapse again. When he enters the work again, he will not hide outside, and naturally he will also enter the hole. I won't gossip about my own, and I won't gossip about your life, and the people who work here are either old and young, or they haven't married a wife yet, so naturally they won't come nonsense! ”

To be true, the road workers of the Tang people all nodded yes.

The foreman who knew the Japanese language did not think it was necessary to explain it to the Japanese people.

"Arrange for someone to go to the mountains and divert the stream."

"Baitou, didn't you change it a few days ago?" Someone shouted.

"If you check it again, there must be a stream of water seeping here. Whoever wants to die, go into the cave now. The white craftsman got angry and scolded a few words: "Go and check the stream, go now." ”

There were two teams of people who went right now.

Another team was arranged to move the timber, and the last team cleared the surrounding area first, leaving an open space for timber piles.

Obviously, he couldn't do his job today, so Li Yuanxing had to leave first.

"Tomorrow, when the morning starts work, you must come first." Li Yuanxing instructed Pei Xi before leaving.

Next

Li Yuanxing came to the construction site early, and the rest of the places were already in full swing, but this place was still waiting.

The foreman came over with a few drawings, and it was obvious that the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty had studied this cave and had a way to deal with it.

"Bring a piece of wood in and reward ten cents. Erect a one-foot reinforcement and reward 200 Wen! ”

The master of the white craftsman himself spoke.

A large box of copper coins was opened, and it was full of ten copper coins.

If there is a reward, someone will naturally go inside. At that moment, more than a dozen roadmen carried the wood and walked inside, but as soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, they heard a commotion inside, and many small stones fell from the top of the cave.

At that moment, everyone threw the wood and fled.

The master knew very well that this was a terrible thing to cut off the water on the hillside, and after the cave really dried up, some gravel would fall.

But he said that even if the road workers believed it, they were a little nervous.

At this time, a man in a red vest arrived, and he already knew the situation here. After handing over a warrant in his hand to the white craftsman, he walked up to the roadman. The position where he stood was not facing the Datang road workers, but facing the Japanese road workers.

I only heard him shouting in the Japanese language. "A piece of wood, bring it in. A stone of rice. ”

A guard beside Li Yuanxing translated these words to Li Yuanxing.

There was some loosening among the Japanese people, and a few seemed to want to go over and give it a try. But I still feel scared, and I am still wavering.

Li Yuanxing gave Pei Xi a look: "Go and see, what is written on his warrant?" ”

Pei Xili passed, there was information from the Qin Palace, the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, there was nothing he couldn't read.

At this time, the man in the red vest shouted again: "Transporting one piece of wood, two stones of rice." ”

Some of the widows were moved and began to stand up, but there were still less than ten of them.

The white craftsman's brows furrowed, this number of people is meaningless at all, at least hundreds of people can quickly strengthen the cave and let the project progress smoothly.

Pei Xi had already read the warrant at this time and retreated to Li Yuanxing's side.

The man in the red vest seemed to feel something, the sign of Qin Wangzhuang, so is His Royal Highness King Qin here.

Gritting his teeth, his hand pressed against the hilt. At this time, it is a ruthless matter, and the progress of Changyi Railway does not dare to delay.

Pei Xi said to Li Yuanxing at this time: "Your Highness, his warrant says that if necessary, you can use force to let the Japanese people take risks. Even if you kill a few, it's nothing. ”

Seeing that the knife was already an inch from the sheath, this was the foreman in the red vest making up his mind.

As a last resort, we must not use force against these Japanese people, otherwise it is easy to cause chaos. But the dead people do not die the Tang people, this is already a consensus of all officials on the Qinling Railway.

"Here we go!" In the distance came a group of people, not very tall, but extremely strong.

"The team!" The white craftsman asked.

"We are from Shuzhong, and we wrote a suicide note when we came out. The family has also explained, even if we Shu people throw thousands of lives into this road, they will not frown. Think about the time when the canal was repaired, it was beaten with a whip and a knife on the neck. This railway is the lifeblood of my Shu people, and we will transport materials! ”

"Ball, are we soft eggs when we close the people?"

At that moment, the eyes of both sides were stared.

"Ten stones, just give ten stones of rice!" A widow suddenly shouted.

In the hearts of the Japanese people, a piece of wood was given ten stone rice, this price was definitely not produced by the Tang people, he saw the knife, he was forced, forced the Tang people not to dare to kill him. If you are willing to give ten stone of rice, you will force people to work, and this kind of thing will cause mutiny.

The Tang road workers didn't know what the Lu Dao Japanese people were shouting, but the two foremen who knew the Japanese language knew the Lu Dao, and some road workers asked, and they also said it truthfully. As he spoke, he glanced at the Japanese man with uncertain eyes, and added: "That Japanese man is very slippery, but this time he was taken into the army!" ”

The Tang road workers fried the pot at once: "This is for us to build our own roads for Datang, our own roads, and fight by ourselves!" The roadworker from Shu shouted.

Hundreds of lifted the timber and prepared to rush in.

"Stop!" Li Yuanxing spoke, and Pei Xi immediately rushed up to block these people.

"Wouldn't it be safer to use stone strips and cement hoops directly for the roof?" Li Yuanxing asked. "Then make a steel frame three or five feet wide to advance, even if there is a collapsed roof, there is a steel frame on top, and people can safely exit."

"Yes, but in this way, it will still have to be demolished in the future, and more than ninety percent of the stone bars may be reused, but dozens of tons of cement will be wasted. With this way, there is no need to worry about using the detonator in a small area, and the progress will be accelerated. This plan is excellent, but Bai's official position is low, and he needs to ask for instructions. ”

"Go ahead, dozens of tons of cement will keep my Datang people safe, and it will also save others from feeling that my Datang is bullying someone, or something else?" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Such a danger, if placed in the modern age of the future, there must be countless ways.

Li Yuanxing's eyes glanced at the widow, but Pei Xi and the red-armored foreman secretly wrote down the portrait of the widow. (To be continued......)
