48. Builders of Chang'an City
Zhang Dongyun said that Mr. Wuyun would stay in the city and take charge of the mine, which was not a lie.
The matter of the Heavenly Wolf Cave is important, and the matter of the turquoise crystal vein is equally important at the moment.
The latter is related to the second upgrade and expansion of Chang'an City.
The Blood Shadow Old Demon has taken away most of the masters in the city, but the talented people in the city in handling government affairs are basically still there, and it does not affect Zhang Dongyun's deployment of the ore vein.
The simplest excavation and mining work was handed over to a group of cultivated captives.
The task of excavating and transporting the transit needs to be taken care of by the people of the city.
Realistically speaking, this is also a heavy physical job.
In the end, the city lord Zhang did not bulldoze all the land in the mountains below the city, and did not let the ground in the city "low" to the position close to the ore veins.
Therefore, the mineral deposit is more than 1,000 meters away from the cave above.
Even if Zhang Chengzhu designed some simple machinery, it still required the miners to work hard.
Of course, with his protection, a mining accident could not have happened.
Mr. Wuyun, who was temporarily in charge of government affairs, gave an order, and Hui Tianyu and the others immediately got busy.
The recruitment process did not go well at first.
The people in the city are grateful to Chang'an City for taking them in and receiving food.
But when I heard that I was going to find someone to mine now, everyone's hearts were furious.
"At that time, Yuzhou Mansion went around to arrest people and go to the mine, and none of the people who went could come back alive, and I heard that the people who insisted on the nearest only lived for three years. ”
At the market, an old woman with a face full of fear: "It's short, I haven't even lived for a year." ”
"Yes, yes, Erniu from the next township was arrested and taken to the mine a few years ago, and he died that year!
Erniu's baby is filial, if he is still here, he will definitely be able to carry his blind old lady out this time, and Erniu's mother will not wait for death!"
"I heard that the Hai family in Dazhuang Township was also arrested, and the Hai family was directly killed......
The crowd next to him also agreed.
Hui Tianyu in front of them sighed secretly.
It's no wonder that the people are afraid.
In the past, the mortality rate of miners was indeed too high.
On the one hand, dangers such as mining disasters are difficult to predict and guard against.
On the other hand, to put it mildly, it is not to take human life seriously......
In the mine of Chang'an City, what is the situation, Hui Tianyu does not dare to pack a ticket.
A group of cultivators were thrown into the deepest part of the mine to mine, and this matter should be told in two ways.
At best, this is the manpower of ordinary people, and the heaviest work is for the captives to bear.
Speaking in my arms, these cultivators can be used as miners, and their lives are not worth their lives, let alone ordinary people?
The idea of a dark point, Chang'an City is sheltering so many displaced people, is it just waiting for mining?
Hui Tianyu shook his head in his heart.
He wanted to believe that Chang'an was not such a shady place.
It's a place of hope.
The one-eyed young man coughed and glanced at the people around him.
Everyone gradually fell silent.
Hui Tianyu's voice was quiet, unhurried:
"Under the rule of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, under the rule of others, everyone has to flee the famine if they don't have enough to eat, what about after they get here?"
The people around looked at each other, and the panic in their eyes gradually dissipated.
Hui Tianyu continued: "Those who have already divided the land outside the city to farm do not need to participate in the recruitment. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone completely relaxed.
However, Hui Tianyu then continued:
"If there are people in the city who are legitimately employed, they can also not participate in the recruitment.
However, all those who are idle will go to the mines, and no one will be missing!"
As soon as these words came out, some people smiled, and some people were shocked.
On the spot, someone tried to sneak away.
But where did they escape the eyes of Hui Tianyu and the others?
Zhang Dongyun himself was standing in the crowd at this moment.
Seeing the sight in front of him, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
...... Hui Tianyu and the others are really simple and rude.
This is actually no different from catching a strong man.
But there were people among the people who applauded.
Those idle prodigals have been annoying for a day or two.
Life in Chang'an City was rich, and there were few rules at the beginning of its establishment, and they soon reverted to their old ways.
Now that they are being pulled to work in the mine, many people applaud.
The few intercessors are mostly relatives of those people.
However, they did not dare to stop it.
In the face of a cultivator like Hui Tianyu, in the face of the authority of Chang'an City, no one dared to harden it.
"You are abusing power! You are persecuting! The city lord of Chang'an cares for the people and will never let you come around, and you will definitely be punished if you deceive your superiors and subordinates!" Some of the people who were dragged away shouted loudly.
Then he was immediately hit on the back of the head and was knocked unconscious and dragged away.
Zhang Dongyun sighed.
Strictly speaking, idleness and stealing were not a crime at the time.
I think that at the beginning, Zhang Dacheng's ideal in his previous life was to sleep until he woke up naturally, counting money until his hands cramped.
It's better not to do anything, and still have a good economy to eat, drink and have fun.
However, there are still few people in the city at the moment.
Otherwise, ordinary prison inmates can almost meet the needs of labor in the mines.
Right now, I have to catch some rice worm compatriots to top it first.
They will not be mistreated in the mine, they will not be overworked, there will be no danger of mining accidents, and there will be a good income.
When they realize all this and tell the rest of the city, the people who volunteered to go to the mine will also appear.
For idlers in Chang'an City, it is enough to have a certain city lord alone.
Zhang Dongyun coughed dryly and straightened his clothes.
However, when it comes to the issue of prison inmates......
Zhang Dongyun's heart moved slightly, and he walked to another corner of the city.
Here, in the dilapidated houses, many people are crowded.
The people of the city either avoided them or looked at them with hatred.
There was a child who threw a stone over there, and the next moment he was quickly carried away by his own adult.
And the people in that shack are very numb to this.
On their bodies, they were still wearing the robes of the Tang Army.
A middle-aged man walked out of it.
Some of the people around him saluted respectfully, while others ignored him.
The middle-aged man came all the way to the market and came to Hui Tianyu's side:
"Mr. Hui, is there still a shortage of people in the mine? ”
The one-eyed youth looked at each other.
The martial artist of the fifth realm, facing him as a martial artist of the third realm, is respectful.
"General Gao, please wait, I'm going to go over to your side later. Hui Tianyu replied.
The middle-aged man bowed his head: "Okay, waiting for Mr. ”
Zhang Dongyun watched this scene from afar.
The middle-aged man was the commander of the Tang Army who had attacked the city for the first time before, General Gao Qi.
Xuanwu General Du Kun's deputy.
After the first and second groups of Tang troops besieging the city were captured, they undertook a large number of laborers for the construction of Chang'an City.
Their punishment is naturally necessary.
But Zhang Dongyun doesn't plan to be so wasteful all the time.
From the perspective of personal feelings, Zhang Dongyun did not have much bad feeling for the soldiers who obeyed the orders of the generals of the unified army.
These people can also become the people of Chang'an City.
So when considering the miners, Zhang Dongyun did not treat them as prison prisoners.
However, many Tang Army soldiers, including Gao Qi, have always been willing to be prisoners.
