Chapter 332: River Embankment Work
Liu Wei looked at the beaten doctor and felt a burst of anger in his heart.
His son was beaten like this and couldn't recover, but he was here to find him trouble.
This made Liu Wei instantly angry.
"Come on, arrest me, and I'll see what he has to do with me."
Liu Wei led someone to smash this place, and then carried his son home and found other doctors to take medicine and see a doctor.
"Who the hell beat the young master like this?"
At this time, the beaten family members all knelt on the ground and listened to Liu Wei's anger.
"Sir, we don't know who they are, but they ride tall horses, two men and a woman."
"Someone, hurry up and search for these three people for me."
"Yes."
The officials hurriedly dispatched to arrest people frantically on the streets.
The injured family members also went down to recuperate.
Qin Xuan and the three of them went all the way north to the edge of the Yellow River.
Looking at this big river, I was filled with emotion.
"Childe, this is the Yellow River."
"Yes, you see the water is all yellow."
"Hmm."
Several people came from the south, so they had never seen the Yellow River, and they felt a lot of emotion when they looked at this big river.
Although disasters may occur every year, there is no way to nurture people on both sides without this river.
If the river is properly managed, it will benefit the people around the main stream of the Yellow River's tributaries.
Irrigation of farmland, livestock and animal husbandry, as long as there is life, water is inseparable.
"Childe, can this water be used for watering if it is so yellow?"
"Of course you can, it's mainly loess, so it doesn't matter, and this water flows to the East China Sea, which also makes it more and more fertile."
"Really? That's great."
Qin Xuan remembered that in the 21st century, disasters were still occurring on the Yellow River, and at that time, science and technology had become so advanced that they could not stop floods.
I don't know if this dynasty can stop it now, and it is impossible to say that it can be stopped completely.
As long as there is no flooding and people are not displaced, this is a good thing.
Therefore, we can govern to as much as we can, do our best, and do our best.
Three men rode up the embankment.
At this point, go to see a place where cement is made.
Shangguan Zhu pointed to the place and said.
"Childe, let's take a look at somewhere, it should be the place where cement is made."
"Hmm."
The three of them rode away somewhere.
When I arrived, I saw a lot of people preparing stones, sand, and so on, and then stirring them back and forth in a big pit, and even more alive people started stirring in it.
"Childe, this cement really can't be left for a long time, and you have to use it immediately after making it, you can see it all."
Shangguan Zhu and Qin Xuan followed the gesture of the crown and looked to the north.
The farmers were carrying cement bucket by barrel to the river.
"For the sake of the people to live and work in peace and contentment, there is no way to do it."
At this time, a foreman from the government came over and asked.
"What do you do? Who let you in?"
The three of them knew that they were now just ordinary people, so they said.
"What are you here?"
The foreman saw that a few people were popular, so he replied casually.
"I'm the foreman here, what are you doing? Don't you know if you're not allowed to enter here?"
"Oh, we're here to play, I don't know if we're not allowed here, we'll leave now."
Qin Xuan saw that there were many people here who were busy and didn't want to stay, as long as he hurried up and rushed to meet the deadline.
That won't be delayed for long.
So the three of them walked out of the workshop and went outside.
I saw some people wearing tattered clothes walking in and out one after another.
Three people also went up the embankment.
Seeing that construction was underway on the embankment, Qin Xuan was very happy.
Seeing that the embankment on the west side had been made very well, the three of them walked over and squatted down and began to check.
"The quality of the project should be okay, I don't know how much they are paid."
"Childe, let's just ask, you give the Ministry of Industry 10 million taels, and the wages of these people should be indispensable."
"Well, go ask for it."
Qin Xuan asked Shangguan Zhu to ask, and he and Wang Guan continued to investigate here.
Shangguan Zhu walked to the edge of the embankment under construction and watched where a servant was holding a whip and directing.
"Can I ask if I get paid to work here?"
"Wages? What is the salary?"
The official saw that Shangguan Zhu was a woman and did not drive her away.
"Don't you be paid for the work here?"
"Of course not, these are all conscripted nearby villagers, and they still need to be paid to work here, what kind of place do you think this is?"
"Isn't it for the sake of them, the people, that the embankment is for me?"
The official crossed his waist and watched the person next to him move very slowly, so he picked up the whip and was about to draw it.
As a result, he was stopped by Shangguan Zhu.
"Since people build for free, don't beat people."
The official looked at Shangguan Zhu and stopped him, so he asked.
"Who the hell are you, I don't know if you can't come here casually, I asked them to hurry up for their good, in case the construction period can't be done, who will be the most affected by the big flood?"
Shangguan Zhu was not happy when he heard it.
Qin Xuan asked Wei Yan to preside over the construction project, and the prefectures and counties around the Yellow River cooperated, and all the labor materials and labor had to be paid.
If you don't pay the wages for compulsory repair, at least you have to take care of the food.
"Then the people here are so tired from their work that they don't pay for it, so they have to take care of the food, right?"
"Rice? Bring it yourself, who cares about the food."
"I said if you have anything to do, just leave if you have nothing to do, and be messed up here."
The repeated urging of the official messenger made Shangguan Zhu stop asking and went straight to Qin Xuan.
"Childe, I asked about the treatment of these people just now."
"How? Isn't it to take care of food and pay wages?"
Qin Xuan looked at Shangguan Zhu.
Shangguan Zhu shook his head.
"What's wrong? Isn't it?"
"No, there is no salary, let alone food."
As soon as Shangguan Zhu's words came out, Qin Xuan was instantly unhappy.
"Did you just ask that clearly?"
"It's all clear, it's the official with the whip over there."
Qin Xuan looked in the direction Shangguan Zhu was pointing.
Qin Xuan saw several officials with knives in their waists and whips in their hands, and some officials were still beating people.
Qin Xuan was instantly furious.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on."
Qin Xuan and Guanzhu led the horses and walked over.
Seeing that the official was about to whip the people, Qin Xuan went up and grabbed him.
"How can you hit someone?"
As soon as Qin Xuan's wrist was forced, the official screamed in pain instantly.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
"Do you know that it hurts, don't people know that it hurts?"
"You bastard."
