Chapter 188: Red Bricks and Cement

Hearing this, Master Xiang couldn't help but nodded.

People who are not good to the people are not necessarily bad people, but those who are so good to the people and the various subsidy measures are implemented in such a nuanced way that eighty percent of them are not bad.

In addition to Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizongwen, the most outstanding meritorious person is Emperor Xiaowu.

According to legend, when Emperor Xiaowu was born, he encountered assassins and was exiled to the people.

He has been a monk, a beggar, and has tasted the suffering of the world since he was a child.

As a result, in the future, it was found by the royal family, and after ascending the throne, a series of measures promulgated were all beneficial to the people's livelihood.

In addition, a series of disciplinary measures and mutual supervision among officials are stipulated to ensure that these decrees that benefit the people's livelihood can be effectively implemented by the people.

In particular, this one also likes to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and even promulgates government decrees, and officials do not fight with the people.

If anyone has any grievances, they can all go to the cadres to sue the emperor.

Officials along the way, not only are they not allowed to obstruct them, but they must also provide a certain amount of entanglement as a travel fee.

If someone has his hands and eyes to the sky and assassinates the person who complained, the rest of the officials can report and expose it.

If this is the case, upgrade three levels in a row!

If you are told, you will be beheaded after the autumn, and you will be killed by the three clans.

Such a decree can be said to protect the rights and interests of the common people.

Therefore, the Qianwu Dynasty was definitely the best dynasty for the common people!

But even so, the people at that time, it seems that they did not have the people of Huainan at this time, to be rich.

"That's not all, if you want me to say, the owner is the best owner in the world."

"Other workshops either don't recruit women, or the wages are pitiful."

"But the owner is different, he not only recruits his sisters to work, but also never stingy with wages."

"Now, as long as the sisters are willing to work hard, a month's salary will not be lower than that of men."

When Master Xiang and the others heard this, their pupils contracted, their eyes dilated, and they were a little shocked.

"This Gu Shijun is even eclectic and appoints female workers, but he is also a person who dares to set a precedent."

"That's right, I'll tell you the truth."

"Some time ago, the family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and the head of the family went into the mountains to hunt, but they encountered a big insect and gave their lives."

"I'm a weak woman, if the owner didn't give me this job, how could I support the babies." When Aunt Zhang spoke, her words were sincere and her emotions were sincere, which was really a bit empathetic.

"It's not just Aunt Zhang, to put it mildly, our entire village has gained a lot of benefits from the owner."

"If the owner hadn't invited someone to teach us how to weave cloth and how to burn the kiln, what would we have done?"

"Aren't we still farmers who work in the fields and can't uncover the pot all day long?"

"Now, you see, every household can eat meat every other day. During the New Year's holidays, there is spare money to add clothes for the children and buy hairpins for the mother-in-law. ”

"Such a day, thirty years ago, but I didn't dare to think about it, and I wouldn't change it for a god."

"And the owner doesn't put up any shelves, and when he gets along with us, he is polite, like... It's like..."Boss Qin is hesitant and can't speak."

"It's like they don't treat us as farmers, but as people like Shen Yuanwai." Li Lao Er added in due course.

Seeing this, Boss Qin was a little annoyed.

This bastard Li Lao Er, relying on his own private school for a few years, actually steals his limelight everywhere, which is really hateful!

When Master Xiang heard this, he was also embarrassed: "This Gu Beichuan has clearly never been an official, why is it so popular?" ”

"Master, the people are like water, they can carry boats and capsize boats. Gu Beichuan is good to the villagers and takes them out of poverty, as long as he still has some conscience in his heart, he naturally thinks of his goodness. ”

Master Xiang nodded, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see his emotions.

"Okay, well, after all that, it's time to come and see me." Seeing that everyone was in a state of emotion, Boss Qin said a little anxiously.

When Master Xiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's easy to say, the little brother is leading the way." ”

"Hey, come with me, I'm sure I'll surprise you."

Subsequently, everyone followed Boss Chen to the brick kiln department.

Unlike the textile department, which is indoors, most of the brick kiln department works outdoors.

Brick kilns stood on the ground, smoke rising with flames.

Stout men, shirtless and sweaty. The mud blocks are continuously fed into the brick kiln, and the burned bricks are taken out and neatly stacked.

Although the scene is a little smoky, it is also full of energy.

"This is the rumored brick?" Master Xiang picked up a red brick, rubbed it carefully, and looked at it.

The guards, who were not interested in weaving and cloth, also stepped forward, their eyes filled with curiosity.

They are all veterans of the marching army, whether they march and fight on weekdays, or defend the palace, they wear armor. They really don't have much interest in cloth, no matter how beautiful and comfortable the clothes they make, they can't use them, right?

But this brick is different, this is a weapon for building a city!

If it is used well, I don't know how many brothers will die when defending the city.

"Little brother, can I break it up?" The guard knocked and pinched and pinched the red bricks, and then said.

"Of course, but if you want to break it open, it may take some strength."

When the guard heard this, he just smiled, and then with a force of his hands, the red brick broke off in response.

"Huo, what a lot of wrist strength!"

"It's a pity, this brick is hard enough, but it's a little brittle."

The implication is that it is good to use to build a house, but if it is used to build a city wall, I am afraid that it is not enough to see.

After all, the walls are subject to the impact of battering rams and other deadly weapons!

Sometimes, you have to face even more terrifying siege weapons made by the heavenly machine craftsmen.

I remember that once, the Northern Yuan Dynasty went south and wanted to destroy the Great Wei and enter the Central Plains.

It stands to reason that on the way from the northern grasslands to the Central Plains, there are many famous mountains and rivers, but more places are all flat rivers.

If it is invaded by the Northern Yuan, who is good at riding and shooting, known as the long on horseback.

Coupled with the command of the Tuoba Heavenly Khan, who is comparable to the military god level, even if Great Wei is the Son of Heaven Kingdom, there is a danger of destroying the country.

However, the course of the war was unexpected.

When the rest of the vassal states did not make a move, the Great Wei forced the Northern Yuan to retreat, drove it back to the grassland, and recuperated its strength.

At that time, it was a kind of castle-defending weapon called a catapult created by the Heavenly Machine Craftsman!

It can throw boulders out and fall from the sky, making the Northern Yuan cavalry turn over on their backs.

If you want to stop the bombardment of catapults, this red brick... It seems that there are still some things to see.

Seeing the disappointment in the guards' eyes, Boss Qin smiled and said, "How can you only use red bricks to build a house, naturally you have to add cement!" ”
