Return to Luoyang
Chapter 559 In the vicinity of Luoyang, Yu Miaoyang is about to be separated from Qin Xi. Qin Xi said to Yu Miaoyang: "Tell Master for me, I am entangled in affairs and can't help now, but I will definitely pass as soon as I have time." ”
"Also, you don't need to save the money from the Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid that the master will save money, so after you pass, you must look at it, spend as much as you can, and you must follow the best."
"Senior brother, don't worry, I know how to do it." Yu Miaoyang said.
"Okay, be careful along the way, and call someone to tell me if anything." Qin Xi instructed.
"Got it, long-winded senior brother." Yu Miaoyang glanced at Qin Xi, and then left with the female guard.
After Qin Ximu sent Yu Miaoyang away, he turned around and rushed to Luoyang. Luoyang has started to build the foundation according to the plan, but due to the impact of the cold winter, the progress of the project has been slowed down, but this is also something that cannot be helped.
You can't let the sinners work regardless of life and death, this is obviously against Qin Xi's original intention, not to mention that it may also cause problems.
When Qin Xi arrived in Luoyang, Mo Ling was in charge of the entire Luoyang project. When he saw Mo Ling, Qin Xi couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that Mo Ling had a lot of gray hair on his head, and the whole person had a lot of vicissitudes. With Mo Ling's strength, he was even tired like this, which shows that Mo Ling has put a lot of effort into this city.
"Your Highness has finally returned, and I can finally rest." Mo Ling smiled after seeing Qin Xi.
"I've worked hard for you, my hair is gray, so let's take a month's vacation with you and take a good rest." Qin Xi said.
"Okay, give me a month's vacation, I'm going to rest." Mo Ling said.
"Really, but let's hand it over first, after all, I've been gone for so long, and the situation is a little rusty." Qin Xi said.
"Okay, okay, but in fact, it hasn't changed much, and it's basically all according to His Highness's plan." Mo Ling said.
The handover between the two was soon completed, and Mo Ling finally had a chance to rest, so he went on vacation humming a minor tune.
The diversion channel of the upper reaches of the Luo River was completed before the onset of winter, and the arch bridge above it was completed, and the quality of the bridge was absolutely guaranteed, even if the horse-drawn carriage carrying steel could withstand it.
Now the river in the middle of Luoyang City has dried up, and according to Qin Xi's drawings, half of the foundation has been laid under the riverbed.
Now that winter has passed, once spring comes, the riverbed can no longer be constructed.
Now the water of the Luo River is frozen, and the situation is not bad, but once the ice on the river melts, a diversion channel is obviously unbearable, and the main river can only be opened at that time, and construction will be temporarily impossible.
Qin Xi's plan was to lay the foundation under the river before the beginning of spring. In this way, the strength of the foundation can be tested, and the second is to save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
However, according to the current construction schedule, it is difficult to complete it before the beginning of spring. Meng Yi said: "If you want to complete the foundation under the riverbed before the beginning of spring, you must work day and night, and these people will definitely not be able to stand it." Qin Xi looked at the drawings in his hand, looked up at the direction of the palace, and then said, "There are fifteen construction teams on the palace side, and there are only two on the river side. As soon as he heard this, Meng Yi understood, and said: "But if you transfer people from the palace, the progress of the palace will fall behind a lot." ”
"The palace is not in a hurry, but now it is the river that is in a hurry." Qin Xi said: "Ge Ming, transfer four construction teams from the palace, three shifts, people can rest, tools can't rest, and lay the foundation under the riverbed as soon as possible." ”
"No!" After Qin Xi finished his order, he personally jumped off the riverbed to inspect it. Qin Xi held a long steel bar and poked it next to the foundation, checking the depth of the foundation.
The foremen of these two teams, one was a Hun and the other was a Korean, and the two followed behind Qin Xi, looking very nervous.
Because once it is not done, the two construction teams will work in vain, not only will they have to dismantle and start over, but they will also have no wages for this period of time, and the labor time will be extended.
Qin Xi inspected very carefully, but fortunately, after the inspection, there was no problem. Qin Xi said to the two: "It's very good, let's continue to work hard." When the bridge is built, I will erect monuments on both sides of the bridge and engrave the names of all those of you who participated in the construction of the bridge, so that your names will go down in history! ”
"When the time comes, whoever walks on this bridge will think of you first!" Qin Xi's words made the two of them very excited, and it was a great honor to set up a monument to leave their names.
At this time, Ge Ming also came over with people, and Qin Xi immediately summoned everyone in the riverbed.
Qin Xi jumped on the foundation, took the big horn and said loudly with internal force: "The foundation here is half completed, but half is still not completed!" Seeing that spring is coming, the river will be temporarily unable to be constructed, so we have to finish it before the beginning of spring! ”
"At present, our tool and material transportation capacity is only so much, but I ask you six construction teams to complete it before the beginning of spring!"
"Twelve hours a day, six construction teams divided into three groups! Each group worked for four hours! Day and night, people can rest, but machines can't. ”
"When the foundation here is all completed, I will give all of you fifteen days of rest, and you will not lose your word!" After everyone was dismissed and went to work, Qin Xi called the six foremen over.
"See your Excellency." The six of them saluted together, but it was obvious that this salute was not fully mastered, and it looked a little awkward.
Qin Xi said to the six people: "Three shifts, it seems that everyone only works for four hours, but there is no rest for a day, and there is no one day off for the previous five days, you have to calm the emotions of the people below, don't make anything happen to me." ”
"If this thing is done well, the benefits will be indispensable to you. But if it doesn't work, I'm not going to be polite, understand? ”
"Don't worry, we will definitely satisfy you!" The six of them said in unison.
"Very well, let's go to work." Qin Xi waved his hand and said. After coming up from the riverbed, Meng Yi said: "If the project is in such a hurry, will there be problems?" Qin Xi nodded and said, "Send someone from the Ministry of Engineering to keep an eye on it at all times to ensure that the quality is okay." Meng Yi nodded and said no more.
Qin Xi asked, "How many troops are guarding here now?" ”
"There are 105,000 troops, originally there were only 100,000, and the next 50,000 were withdrawn from the grassland, and maybe about 100,000 will be withdrawn, and they will all be stationed here." Meng Yi said.
That means there will be an army of 250,000. Now there are nearly 500,000 criminals on the construction site, including the elderly, weak, women and children, and 250,000 is enough. Qin Xi said.
