Chapter 223: Donation

The maids and mothers-in-law in the yard all went to join in the fun, leaving only Sister-in-law Qian and Chunxiang, who took care of Chen'er Si'er, to accompany Zhiwan.

Sister-in-law Qian also wants to go, but she can't leave the little prince, looking at the boring Zhiwan, sister-in-law Qian smiled, "Hibiscus and Marigold are not young, who will the princess of the county marry them to?" ”

Zhiwan thought about it for a while and said with a smile, "The two of them have not been following me for a long time, unlike Poria and them, I don't have anything to call the shots, the family affairs of Hibiscus and Marigold, let Mother Zheng take the idea." ”

In fact, she said a long time ago, as long as she doesn't teach each other privately and sees the right eye, you can tell her that she won't beat the mandarin duck.

It's just that these maids are too thin-skinned, so I'm embarrassed.

She is the princess of the county, if she gives them a marriage, the maid is uncomfortable, but she doesn't dare to show anything on her face, she is still wronged, why should she be a bad person in vain?

The more lively it was outside, the quieter it seemed to be in Moxuan.

Rong Jingxuan married Chu Huan, ten miles of red makeup, and a general who returned triumphantly, there are more people who go to see the lively candy, and the excitement is extraordinary.

It is said that three generals were dissatisfied with the good luck of the groom's officials, and they poured wine into the groom's official wine cup after cup, and the groom's official was finally carried into the cave room.

That night, the candles in the cave room were flowers, and the maid listened to the door all night, except for the sound of snoring, there was only good wine, and another glass, and no other movement was heard.

It is said that the next day, when a certain general was serving tea, he was punished to kneel for a full quarter of an hour.

It is said that the more a certain general thought about it afterwards, the more annoyed he became, and finally decided to take revenge, and then when the three bad friends got married, he poured wine one after another.

Reputedly. The candles in the cave room of the four generals were all replenished the next day.

Without exception, they were all punished for kneeling for a quarter of an hour.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

this day. The sun is shining and the sky is blue.

In front of the main gate of Kyoto, as the day before, many people stood between the two roads, cheering and welcoming them.

King Zhennan rode forward and turned over on his horse. Except for him, all the soldiers behind him knelt down. Long live the emperor!

King Zhennan stared at the road under his feet, and said to Emperor Wenyuan, "Coming from Lizhou, this road is easy to walk some fanatics. It was a full hour less than usual, and it would be ...... if Dayue built such a road. ”

"The treasury is empty," Emperor Wenyuan interrupted him coldly, of course he knew that the road was good, and the exchanges between Lizhou and Kyoto were closer, but it cost money to build the road, even if you didn't need money, then you also needed land!

Can't fix it.

King Zhennan laughed and said, "This time, the south and the north are suing for peace. The treaty had not yet been signed, and there were still 100,000 captives with whom they were kept in vain. Why don't they do something practical for Da Yue and repair this road, what does the emperor think? ”

Since peace has been sued, Da Yue will not kill the prisoners, and the king of Zhennan heard that there is a rumor in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so he let these 100,000 captives stay in Da Yue for a few days. Let the imperial court help raise an army of 100,000. A person eats at least one pound of grain a day, and consumes 100,000 pounds of grain a day, which is a thousand quintals!

Isn't this adding to my burden in vain?

There has never been only him in the south of the king of the town to pit others, no one can pit him, since it is wasted in vain, it is better to work to build roads, and eat enough every day!

As for wages, land, that's nothing!

King Zhennan's proposal, Emperor Wenyuan agreed without hesitation, and instructed Hubu Shangshudao, "Allocate 200,000 taels from the treasury to build roads only, and the width is about the same as this." ”

Hubu Shangshu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, is the matter of building the road still in charge of the princess of the county?" Repair 500 miles for others, and definitely build 1,000 miles for the princess of the county. ”

Emperor Wenyuan twisted his brows, and glanced at Hubu Shangshu quite meaningfully, Hubu Shangshu's face turned white with fright, and he couldn't wait to bite his tongue, the princess of the county was pregnant with Liujia, that was the emperor's grandson, and it was strange that the emperor was willing to let her work.

was about to confess, but Emperor Wen Yuan smiled and said, "That's right, I'll leave this matter to the princess of the county and let her entrust someone to handle it." ”

When Zhiwan got a message from her father-in-law, she didn't almost get angry, she didn't have her share in participating in the banquet, she didn't have her share in rewarding the three armies, and she didn't have her share in going out, and it was her business to build roads!

It's too much!

Zhiwan was angry, so she pretended to be a public beneficiary, took the map and looked, whatever was beneficial to the water side, she would repair it.

felt that 200,000 taels was not enough, so he found someone to find the emperor and took 100,000 taels.

100,000 troops, three months to build roads.

So much so that later, after the Southern Shun and Northern Qi sued for peace, these captives were dragged for a month and the road was repaired before leaving.

However, Zhiwan is not such a ruthless person, and he pays them a month at a salary of twenty cents per person per day.

The court of 60,000 taels is very painful, and it is completely unnecessary!

But the soldiers of Southern Shun and Northern Qi were all happy, thinking that if they were prisoners, they would lose their lives, but they didn't expect that not only did they live well, but they had three meals a day, a full meal, and meat.

It's better than the food they had when they were in the army, and the officers never beat them, but if they slack off, the meal will be less than half, and if they are passive and slacking off, then don't eat, when will you reflect, when will you eat again!

Those soldiers didn't want to leave Dayue and wanted to continue building roads.

However, such a good thing, the officers and soldiers of Dayue also like it!

If there is no war, in addition to the defensive soldiers, most of the recruited soldiers are to be disarmed and returned to the fields, and when they go home to farm, can they earn 600 yuan a month?

No!

If you build a road for ten months a year, that's six taels of silver, enough for a family of four to live for a year.

There is not much land at home, and the daughter-in-law and son can finish it with the help of the daughter-in-law.

So those officers and soldiers all wanted to build the road, and after layers of rumors, the reputation finally reached the ears of Emperor Wenyuan, who had a headache and asked for money to build the road!

Emperor Wenyuan wanted to build the road, but since he had no money, he threw this problem to the king of Zhennan.

King Zhennan didn't answer, so he threw the problem to Ye Guiyue and the four generals.

Okay, the problem finally came to Zhiwan, who almost vomited blood.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't mean that she has to pay for the construction of the road.

Even if she only recruits 50,000 officers and soldiers, she will have to pay 100,000 taels in a month, when she is a money bank!

Zhiwan this person occasionally suffers losses, but when the loss is big, she doesn't eat it, since building roads is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, those businessmen always have to express it, right?

It's a lot of money on the water side, she admits, but a shop in the water is not as good as a shop in Kyoto, right?

She paid eighty percent, and the remaining two percent was paid by shops large and small in Kyoto, especially those that often transported grain.

In addition to them, there were shops from all over the country, and those merchants donated four times as much money as they did to build roads!

As for those merchants who have received the benefits of building roads, but do not pay the slightest, they will not force them to be late, but only say that they have not paid a penny for this road, and if they want to cross, they have to pay tolls.

This is the real way I drove it.

attitude and toughness, but those merchants are not stupid, they also benefit from building roads, and it is a great benefit, and it is very refreshing to pay for money.

There are many shops in Kyoto, those small vendors, but no one collects money, they are all handmade, and the road construction has nothing to do with them.

A shop, with an annual income of more than 100 taels, basically donates one tael, more than 1,000 taels donates 20 taels, and if the income exceeds 10,000 taels, donate more than 300 taels.

It's just a hair, after all, it's only a one-time donation.

There are no less than 1,000 large and small shops, as well as donations from officials and non-governmental organizations, and all kinds of people have also donated 200,000 taels.

In Kyoto alone, Zhiwan paid 800,000 taels, but fortunately she didn't have to pay it all at once, otherwise she would have sold it on the water side.

What is really the road for all people to build.

A road more than four meters wide was built in less than two years.

The donation has been all the time, and then the road was repaired, and there were more than 300,000 taels left.

Ship on major waterways, organize water transportation, rent people, help people transport goods, and get paid for it.

Mobilize resources everywhere.

Buying and selling is to buy and sell the west.

Most of the poverty is because the things in hand can't be sold, and I don't know how to use them with a mountain of gold, like those fruits, which grow in many places and make fertilizer on rotten land, but there is money elsewhere that can't buy them.

Seasonal melons and fruits, Zhiwan also studied them in a special way, taught everyone how to preserve, made canned food, and developed sour fruits, which greatly reduced the loss of the people.

When the roads became much easier, many people became richer.

Zhiwan, the organizer, earned a lot of platinum, but most of it went to the imperial court.

This is all a few years later, and at this moment, Zhiwan is moving and giving birth to a child. (To be continued)
