Chapter 271: Serving the Concubine
You must know that behind every laborer, there is a family.
Killing a laborer means the fragmentation of a family, and Yang Guang built the road this time to be famous for the ages, not to bear the infamy of the ages.
If it weren't for the concern that the time required to repair the road would be too long, according to Yang Guang's temper, he would have ordered the implementation of an eight-hour work week long ago.
Of course, the Hubu Shangshu is not a roundworm in Yang Guang's stomach, so he is only extremely surprised by Yang Guang's almost fantastical regulations.
"Are these laborers here to work, or are they here to enjoy happiness?" He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, it is very difficult to strictly abide by these regulations of Yang Guang, and the head of the household who wants to save expenses has stayed in the study for half an hour, so he has to ask Yang Guang to think about it carefully and revise some regulations to control expenses.
However, Yang Guang scolded him back with only one sentence.
"Building roads is not about using the lives of ordinary people to build roads, compared with human lives, what is the value of silver? Silver can be earned again, but if human life is gone, then it is really gone. ”
"You remember, whether it is now or in the future, in the Great Sui, human life is unconditionally put first."
"As for the second place, it is the interests of the common people!"
Yang Guang's undoubted words suddenly made Hubu Shangshu lose his temper.
Your Majesty has to be this indiscriminate person, what can he do?
Moreover, judging from Yang Guang's attitude, these decisions he made, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he didn't want to make any changes.
When he came out of the study, Hubu Shangshu seemed to be dozens of years old, hunched over, slumped, shrugged and left the Jiangdu Palace. That lonely back, blending with the sunset, even Yang Gonggong couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he saw it, thinking how much he had been wronged by His Majesty?
The next day, a notice to recruit laborers written by the head of the household department was plastered all over the streets and alleys of Jiangdu.
The appearance of the notice unsurprisingly detonated the enthusiasm of the people of Jiangdu.
The above clauses and benefits are so high that they seem to be beyond everyone's imagination, and some people even think that the court will be mistaken? The treatments listed above are actually for the official family?
Many people go to the government for advice.
And then the answer they got undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.
All the terms they saw were personally finalized by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and as long as the laborers involved in the road construction this time could enjoy the same treatment. Moreover, the number of recruits is limited, more than the predetermined number, even if you wear out your tongue, you will not want to become a road construction laborer.
These are also some small tricks used by Yang Guang to create a sense of urgency for the workers.
The subsequent development of events was not expected by Yang Guang.
The welfare treatment he gave stimulated thousands of Jiangdu people, and everyone rushed to tell each other, and then went to the government in groups to sign up, but in half an hour, the gate of the government was overwhelmed by the crowded flow of people, and the people who followed one by one, blushing and scrambling for places.
This situation and this scene are extremely hot,
At the end of the day, the number of laborers recruited was also very staggering, more than 20,000.
This is still the number obtained after screening.
If those who come do not refuse, even those old and weak women and children are included, this number will probably have to triple......
When the head of the household department told Yang Guang the news, Yang Guang did not show any abnormality, stimulated by high benefits and high salaries, he could not mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, then there was really a ghost.
However, there were too many people to take them all, so he immediately ordered that from the next day, only those strong laborers who were about twenty years old would be accepted, after all, he had to consider the problem of efficiency.
However, Rao still enrolled more than 50,000 people the next day.
Until the government closed the door and notified that today's recruitment was over, the streets outside the government were still crowded with people who wanted to sign up as laborers and build roads for Dasui.
At this time, Yang Guang finally had to stop the recruitment.
With the current financial resources of the Great Sui, recruiting 80,000 laborers is already the limit, and if it is more, the burden on the treasury will be too great. As for those who were not recruited, many of them wept outside the government office, and the tears they left behind were said to have wet the entire street, as if it had just rained.
Another day later, the imperial court gathered the 80,000 or so laborers together, and then rushed to the outside of the city with them to start building roads.
At this point, the road repair project has finally officially kicked off!
In the Jiangdu Palace, Yang Guang leaned on Queen Xiao's bed, holding an apple comfortably and nibbling on it.
While gnawing, the old god said: "Aifei, do you think I am the most courageous emperor in history?" When it comes to building roads, it says that it will build roads, and when it says that 80,000 laborers will be recruited, and 80,000 laborers will be recruited within two days. On the other hand, those emperors in the past, who procrastinated, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and slap-sized things, could drag on for a year and a half. ”
"I hate such people the most, but I don't know that 10,000 years is too long, and I only seize the day."
"Hehe, Your Majesty's courage is naturally unmatched, and the concubines have always admired it." Empress Xiao walked over, her eyes full of love.
"By the way, Concubine Ai, you have practiced physical skills for so long, and you have drunk so much medicine, do you feel pregnant?" Yang Guang glanced at Empress Xiao's lower abdomen, which was very flat, as if there was still no movement.
When Empress Xiao heard this, the smile on her face was much less, and she said gloomily: "Not yet." However, the concubine had asked Hua Tuozi to ask him, and he told the concubine to let the concubine hold on for a while. ”
"I hope that Hua Tuozi, the miracle doctor, can really fulfill your wishes."
Yang Guang sat up, touched the side of Empress Xiao's face, turned to seem to remember something, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "In addition to the thing you just said, did Hua Tuozi tell anything else?" ”
"What?" Empress Xiao didn't react for a while.
"Pregnancy, not only do you need medication, but you also need the cooperation of another person...... As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Guang found that Queen Xiao's originally slightly cold skin quietly warmed up.
At this moment, he and Queen Xiao's pretty faces are close at hand.
The two looked at each other, Empress Xiao was just about to bow her head shyly, Yang Guang had reached out to lift her chin, and then, with a slight movement, the lips of the two were tightly pressed together.
"Aifei, seeing that you work so hard every day, my heart hurts a lot, how about serving you now?" Yang Guang's words were vague.
And waiting for him was an equally vague "um" word.
