Chapter 512: The Villagers' Choice
Chapter 512 Qin Xi has been in this village for a long time, chatting a lot with the older generation in the village and knowing a lot about the situation.
After chatting with the older generation, Qin Xi chatted with the women and young people in the village for a long time, basically knowing some problems that he was in a high position but did not know.
For example, on the issue of children's reading, although the tuition fee is not expensive, some teachers will secretly collect money and teach their children less if they don't send money.
Some teachers have a bad temper and often beat and scold students because of some trivial things. There are many things that Qin Xi hadn't considered before, but now they have been raised by the people one by one.
Qin Xi also wrote them down one by one, what needed to be corrected, what needed to be explained to the people, Qin Xi made a detailed record.
In the evening, Qin Xiwan rejected the villagers' idea of asking him to stay, got on his horse and left.
On horseback, Qin Xi asked, "Have you found a suitable place?" Wei Yun said: "Back to the prince, the best location is still the first place we selected, and it is only about fifteen miles away from that village, but after the Luohe River is rerouted, if the village wants to go to Luoyang, it can only be detoured." ”
"Then build the bridge first and then dig it. Moreover, this diversioned river dug up can be used as a flood channel during the flood season, so it must not be sloppy. Qin Xi said.
"Your Highness, will you bring someone over tomorrow to start the work?" Wei Yun asked.
"Tomorrow, I will ask Zhang Yu to bring someone over and negotiate with the people in the village first, and after the villagers agree, they will return to work immediately." Qin Xi said.
Qin Xi returned to the camp when it was dark, and this time he knew that Liu Ji had arrived and was waiting for him.
"Call Liu Ji over." After Qin Xi gave an order, he went back to the camp tent. The artisans will conduct a field trip overnight to make a part of the course of the artificial river, and then continue planning while the construction begins.
So Qin Xi doesn't have to worry too much about this matter, Qin Xi is busy with a smile to summarize the problems of the people, and then solve them one by one.
Sitting at the table, Qin Xi had been writing hard for a while, and Liu Ji's voice sounded outside.
"Subordinate Liu Ji, please see His Highness."
"Come in." Qin Xi said without raising his head. After Liu Ji came in, he arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, your subordinate Liu Ji is here." Qin Xi said: "The materials for the new Luoyang mainly come from Xianyang and Dongjun Shangjun, Xianyang and Dongjun are very relieved, but the materials sent by Shangjun are either less, or the quality is not good, I want you to go to Shangjun to keep an eye on it." ”
"Which chamber of commerce dares to eat on this, you can solve it yourself. But you have to be careful not to make any mess. ”
"Your Highness, rest assured! Liu Ji must do a good job of this! Liu Ji said confidently. Qin Xi picked up the token on the table and threw it to Liu Ji, and said, "Set off early tomorrow morning, don't waste time." ”
"No!" After sending Liu Ji away, Qin Xi once again focused his attention on the things on paper. Many things on paper are small things that can be easily solved, but the problem of this teacher accepting bribes and beating and scolding students is still not easy to solve.
Mr. Teach's acceptance of bribes, in addition to low wages, is his own greed. Mr. Teaching does not need to pay taxes to Daqin, and there is a stipend every year, and fifty percent of the school's income will be distributed to Mr. Teaching.
But in fact, the salary of a teacher in the countryside is not very high. And beating and scolding students, although many parents also agree, after all, children should be educated if they are naughty, but this is never a good thing.
This requires not only an increase in the income of Mr. Teach, but also a regulatory system. This couldn't help but make Qin Xi think of the teacher rating system and the education supervision system in later generations.
Qin Xi was a teacher in his previous life, so he still knew a lot about this, so one night was enough to write down these systems and change them at the same time to make them more in line with this era.
Early in the morning, after Qin Xi handed over the chapter to the guards and asked him to send it to the imperial court, he ran to rest.
Now there is no need for Qin Xi to stare at the Luoyang construction site, it is enough for Ge Ming and the officials of the Ministry of Industry to stare at it, if there is nothing special happening, Qin Xi only needs to inspect it every day.
On the other side, Zhang Yu led people along the Luo River all the way to the designated location. However, whether the construction can start or not depends on whether Zhang Yu can negotiate with the villagers of Shangde, and if the negotiation is not proper, he can only find another location, or find another way.
Zhang Yu entered the village with his guards, so the villagers were very in awe, and the village chief did not dare to slack off.
After Zhang Yu explained his intention to the village chief, the village chief immediately summoned several respected old people in the village to come over.
The village chief said: "Everyone, the main reason for calling everyone here today is because. In order to build Luoyang City, the Luohe River needs to be temporarily diverted, so this lord came to talk to you and excavated a river channel fifteen miles below our village. An old man asked, "Fifteen miles away, it won't affect the crops, but once this river is dug, how will we cross the river?" ”
"Yes, won't we have to take a farther detour to Luoyang in the future."
"What are you thinking, the land in this world is Your Majesty's land, and you can't care where you want to dig the river."
"That's right, village chief, if it's okay, we'll disperse, and there's something going on at home." The village chief looked at Zhang Yu and said, "My lord, let's talk about it." Zhang Yu nodded, stood in front and saluted the old men, and then said: "Your Highness means this, this river will affect your village after all, so you need to ask what your village means." ”
"If you agree, we will build a strong bridge over the river while digging the river."
"Your Highness's meaning, this bridge should at least allow two carriages to run in parallel, so the impact on everyone will not be too great."
"However, Your Highness still wants to hear your opinions, if you don't agree, we will find another place, and it will never affect your village."
"Needless to say." An old man stood up and said, "My lord, since you have said so, then we must agree, after all, there is a bridge, and it will not have much impact." ”
"That's right, dig it, we're okay."
"Fuck! Our current good life was given by Daqin, and now Daqin needs it, if he dares to object, Lao Tzu will be the first to clean him up! A burly old man raised his fist and said.
Seeing that everyone responded, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yu's mouth. This matter is not difficult in the first place, and there will not be much sense of accomplishment in his heart when he does it, and the people's sense of belonging to Daqin is what makes Zhang Yu happy.
After getting rid of the villagers, Zheng Yu ordered the construction to start as soon as he returned. Since it is a newly dug river, it is used to dig out a section of the river and build the bridge directly before the water is opened.
