Chapter 41: The Princess's Cake Is Big and Delicious
When everyone was moved by the princess as a person and seized the time to build the camp, Li Yewu also summoned forty masters for the first time and went to a meeting.
Speaking of which, there are a total of 47 villages in the four counties of Taiqizhou, and these 40 masters are the village chiefs of these villages, and the rest of the "official positions" are all people who are more prestigious or capable or popular in each village.
All in all, those who were recommended as generals can be said to be all the "elites" in the village.
But no matter how elite they are, to put it bluntly, they are still ordinary mud legs, they suddenly become "masters" and have to lead a team of 5,000 people, so it's no wonder if they are not nervous.
After all, if you count it as a "master" according to your military rank, you are actually a "general".
I didn't expect that the village chief who had worked all his life would have to be a general one day, who would dare to think of this!
Seeing everyone sitting on pins and needles and feeling uncomfortable, Li Yewu couldn't help but smile.
"You don't have to be so nervous, you just take over the work of a foreman."
"Uh...... What the princess said. The crowd nodded in disagreement.
But as you can see from their expressions, they are not comforted at all.
There is no way, although they also want to use this reason to convince themselves, but which foreman has 5,000 people under his hands?!
In normal times, the conscription in the county town and even the conscription in Taiqi City add up to less than 5,000 people. And even if there are more than 5,000 people, they are definitely not in charge......
"You really don't have to be nervous, although there are many people under your command, they are actually people you know, and you don't have to bother with any brains, I will issue all strategic deployments, you just need to be responsible for explaining the tasks layer by layer and supervising them to complete them."
The first time everyone saw the nobles of the heavenly family, it was natural that the princess would say whatever she wanted.
Everyone nodded vigorously, and no one dared to say no.
Seeing that everyone cooperated so much, Li Yewu slowly unfolded her blueprint for her new rural planning.
"Now that we've all agreed, let's get started."
The masters glanced at the scroll and couldn't help but be stunned.
Not to mention how the painting is, anyway, they can't appreciate the high ground of mud legs, but what is painted on it is clear at a glance.
"This yard building is really interesting."
"Huh? Although these courtyards are exquisite, they are quite small, not like the palace......"
"It's more like a village ...... than a courtyard."
"You deserve to be excellent village representatives!" Li Yewu nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I'm not building another courtyard, but a village, and your task is to build these courtyards." ”
Everyone was a little surprised: "I don't know what the princess built these villages for......"
"Naturally, it is used as a talent apartment to introduce talents." Li Yewu replied frankly.
“?” Everyone was stunned.
"Alas, you also know that our city has accommodated too many desolate people, but this is not the way to sit back and eat the mountains after all, and I hope to lure them back to the fields."
Everyone was taken aback: "The princess wants to ...... Build them all the houses to entice them to come back? ”
"Oh my God, this is outrageous, it's a good idea, but it's too expensive......"
"But one thing to say, this house even touches me."
Everyone couldn't help but drool, and came up with the idea of "I don't know if it's too late to go to the refugee camp now", and if they did, they would be the first to rush over and sign up when the house was built.
Anyway, what kind of field is not planted, no matter if you don't want a broken thatched house at home, the land in this place is fertile and close to the main city, and there are built yards, which are much better than their poor and remote places.
Just when everyone couldn't help muttering, Li Yewu laughed again.
"Don't envy them, as my first hires, I will naturally not treat you badly. There are many, many places to be built in Taiqi Prefecture in the future, you follow me to work hard, earn enough money to buy land and buy a house directly, and you don't have to be a mud leg anymore. ”
“!!!”
This cake is not small, directly let them cross the ladder from the mud legs to become the landlord, if there is really such a day, it is really a person who has won the Tao chicken dog ascended to heaven.
After all, in Dachu, only those who cultivate and study heirlooms can study and take the imperial examination, and these cultivators and heirlooms refer to scholarly families, dignitaries and landlords, not farmers who cultivate.
Like them, although they can also go to the school to recognize some big characters, they can't take the imperial examination.
Only by getting rid of the peasant nationality can their children study, and if they can study, they can take the imperial examination, and everything can be done in the future.
At this time, the eyes of the forty masters were lit with a blazing flame of hope.
The courtyard in front of you and the career of future generations are self-evident.
After figuring it out, everyone was no longer obsessed with this new countryside and listened carefully to Li Yewu's explanation.
When it comes to building a house, the first step is naturally to find materials, and logging and quarrying are necessary.
Li Yewu allocated 20 divisions, that is, 100,000 people, to be responsible for logging and quarrying in the early stage.
The remaining 20 divisions are divided into different positions: digging foundations, material processing, tool support, cooking classes, mobile groups, etc., and strive to complete the first phase of construction of 20,000 mu in the shortest possible time.
Li Yewu's meeting was not long, and after determining the corresponding positions and tasks of each master, the meeting ended.
Coming out of the princess's main tent, everyone sighed with emotion about the princess.
Although the princess is a woman, she is discerning, approachable, generous, and has clear instructions, just like a general who scolds Fang Xuan.
All in all, everyone really saw what it means to be a good superior.
No wonder people can be masters, look at this wisdom and insight, they can hardly match it after being the village chief for a lifetime.
Soon, everyone conveyed Li Yewu's task.
200,000 people jointly build containers and 100 people cover containers, the efficiency is naturally different.
In just two days, the temporary prefabricated houses for 200,000 people were all built, but people did not rest and went directly to the next step.
Li Yewu, who was digging the foundation, was not worried, but the team that was digging stones and logging was more worried.
After all, she has also seen the white iron here, and it is good to encounter ordinary utensils, but if it encounters hard things, it will only be white iron that will be broken.
Sure enough, on the first day of going up the mountain, someone sent the broken tools back to the tool support department for repair.
Seeing the scrap copper and rotten iron piled higher and higher, Li Yewu frowned.
As mentioned before, the fiefdom could not have a private salt and iron business, so only the yamen had an iron smelting bureau.
However, the technology and concept of iron smelting of the Yamen Iron Smelting Bureau are very backward, and even if they are taken back for repair, the blacksmith will only re-smelt and forge the broken iron.
The performance has not changed, but it is a waste of effort, and what should be broken will still be broken.
If you want to sharpen your tools in advance!
In the end, Li Yewu gritted his teeth and decided to get his own iron-smelting factory!
