Chapter 985: Building Roads
Zhao Hai looked at her and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
I haven't opened meat for a while, and that thought is slowly spreading at this moment!
Immediately after, nature is infinite spring!
……
After the news of the opening of the spiritual canal spread, many people had ideas, not only the family, but also ordinary people, with strong expectations.
The imperial court recruits workers from the people, not only with a lot of wages, but also with food and accommodation, which can be described as a very good job!
Of course, ordinary people very much hope to go to work and help the imperial court to build together.
Therefore, after the news spread, the people were looking forward to it more and more.
But it is useless to look forward to it, and the three provinces and six ministries have not decided on the corresponding plan.
Regarding the construction of the spiritual canal, it is a thousand-year-old plan, involving thousands of generations, not to say that it can be repaired, but also to consider the practicality, versatility, and how long it can be used, whether it will collapse, cause floods and other problems!
If it collapses and becomes a flood, where will you take refuge?
It involves too much of a wide range of issues, and it really can't be decided in a while.
Moreover, there are mountains and rivers in many places in Daqin, and the problem of mountains and rivers and dragon veins should also be considered, and the places must be carefully investigated!
In this way, two months passed in a flash.
During this period, the imperial court continued to recruit talents from the people, such as talents for designing spiritual canals, topographic survey talents, and so on.
After two months of discussion and design, the first plan was finally presented in front of Zhao Hai.
"Your Majesty, this is a plan for the construction of the Spirit Canal, please take a look." The prime minister presented the plan to Zhao Hai.
It's a map with dots on it, and it's very detailed!
There are also other plans for the treatment of landscapes in various places, not only in words, but also in clear workmanship steps.
Zhao Hai is not a talent in this area, and he doesn't know the specific process, but at a glance, it is clear at a glance, and even a layman like him thinks it is feasible.
"It's okay to look at, let's try it first."
He asked the prime minister to implement it as soon as possible.
In the past two months, the people who moved from Shu were shunted to the major cities around Chang'an.
For example, the problem that the prime minister and others were worried about two months ago finally appeared, and as soon as they arrived in the local area, the local natives began to find fault and almost started fighting.
Fortunately, there were quite a few migratory armies in various places, and they were escorted by the Qin army, so there was no brawl in the end.
But friction arises, it is not so simple to end, after the migrants in Shu chose to settle in the area, the local people were not convinced, and began to find fault and said that those places belonged to their ancestors and did not let them settle.
The two sides quarreled again.
Fortunately, the local officials had already received the order from the imperial court, and soon dispatched officers and soldiers to explain to the local people and conduct some ideological education, and finally settled down.
This process is quite aggrieved to say.
Before, we kept saying that we would treat everyone equally, but as a result, the local people looked down on the people of our defeated country, who could stand the insult?
Similarly, this also made the people of Shu understand that in order to gain a firm foothold in the future, they must be united and loving, and not give the Qin people a chance to bully themselves.
Not long after, they received a call from the imperial court to recruit talents from all over the country.
All those who are willing to work for the imperial court will be given three times the local basic salary, and at the same time food and lodging will be provided.
There is only one registration condition, young and strong, obey the arrangement, and find trouble and fight during work, if it is a private reason after finding out the reason, all treatment will be deducted and severely punished.
The people of the original Shu were surprised when they found out, they had just recovered the two places, and they were about to build the spiritual canal?
The role of the spirit canal is known to everyone, so they are shocked.
As a result, the people of Shudi, who were already not very stable, enthusiastically signed up.
They signed up, and the people and natives of the former Qin State also began to sign up, exacerbating the contradictions between the two sides.
You must know that the salary is too high, and the recruitment is not endless, and the competition is huge.
Moreover, the construction of the spiritual canal starts at least yearly, with food and shelter, and several times the salary, so fools do not compete for places.
And then another month passed.
The drawings for the construction of the Ling Canal were distributed to local officials, and according to the instructions on the drawings and the capable people sent by the imperial court, the excavation work officially began.
This time, the imperial court adopted a segmented excavation, according to the indicators from the division of labor and cooperation from all over the country, and finally carried out communication, which went quite smoothly, there was no friction, and all parts of the country were also carried out in an orderly manner.
One canal after another, slowly taking shape.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hai ordered the road to be repaired!
As soon as this news spread, Zhao Hai received a twist and turn from the major cities in a short time.
In the compromise, they said that they would ask the imperial court to allocate funds, and they would also build roads there, some sections of the road broke the waves, and some sections of the road were muddy, and they were particularly dirty when it rained.
For this reason, Zhao Hai deliberately investigated the latest map of Daqin, and found that the city lords in various places did not panic, and many places in the country did not build it uniformly.
Moreover, there is cement in Daqin at present, and the construction of cement roads will bring a qualitative leap to the road conditions.
You must know that all parts of the country are different from Chang'an, Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, extending in all directions, and it has long been not as muddy as before, but paved with cement avenues.
The dilapidated area was repaired first, and then the other avenues were replaced with concrete roads.
This needs to be done step by step.
The current uneven development of Great Qin is something that everyone knows, because the imperial court does not have so much money to deal with so many things.
If you don't have money, you can't pave concrete roads in all cities, what should you do?
So, the third trial and the sixth department were summoned by Zhao Hai to the imperial study and showed them the road repair.
"Your Majesty, the road must be repaired, but it doesn't mean that it will be repaired, you have to ask for money!" The prime minister sighed vaguely.
Now that Lingqu is being built everywhere, how can there be so much money to build roads?
It is unrealistic to repair several cities around Chang'an first, and the whole country to repair them together!
"Isn't the money collected back from Shu Di Han Di enough?" Zhao Hai asked.
In the past, Daqin definitely didn't have that much money, but after recovering two lost territories in succession, the money should not be bad.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the Ling Canal now requires a lot of manpower and material resources, if the money collected from the Shu and Han Lands is used to repair the road first, then the later construction of the Ling Canal may not have the money to continue."
The Prime Minister shook his head.
Although there is a lot of money, it is enough to make Daqin an upstart.
But the expenditure is also large, the whole country needs to be reclaimed in the places are building spiritual canals, the expenditure is very large, comparable to astronomical figures, I don't know how much to consume, I definitely can't use this money elsewhere.
Zhao Hai also understood this truth, and said weakly: "Then all places have to be dismissed?" Is there a selective practice? ”
He felt that Great Qin was becoming more and more prosperous under his rule, but the problem of lack of money came again.
Is prosperity an illusion?
