Chapter 22 Zhao Si must be a good official

Xianyang was caught in a complete sensation.

However, for the servants who built the tomb of the First Emperor, it was only the beginning of a new day that was calm and heavy.

As a servant, as soon as the day dawned, the bridge was climbed up and ready for today's work.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is undoubtedly one of the magnificent and spectacular wonders of mankind.

But it didn't mean much to a man like the bridge, and as a builder, he didn't have any pride in being involved in such a big project.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is a secret project, and few people know the full picture of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang except for a very few craftsmen and designers.

Ordinary servants like them are nothing more than digging pits and transporting soil in one place in a step-by-step manner......

And there are countless servants like bridges.

They are kept under strict supervision, and their daily lives and even work are fixed to a very small extent.

Every day as soon as the day dawns, you have to put in heavy labor, and you can go back to rest only when the sky is completely dark.

The bridge has been here for almost a year...... There was less than a year left before the end of his term, but as a participant in the construction of the project, the bridge also knew that it was not uncommon for him to work for a while after his term.

It's easy to come when you're here, it's hard to get there, it's easy to find a job, it's hard to get paid, and this has been the case since ancient times.

Qiao is not from Guannei, he is a servant from Handan.

From the beginning of the unaccustomed to Guanzhong, to now, the bridge is gradually getting used to it.

The servant was paid, but very little, and it was not easy to meet his daily needs, let alone save money.

Most of the time, they have to rely on money sent from home to maintain, and the government does not care about the purchase of clothes.

The government only manages two meals a day and some meager wages.

This is the case with most servants...... The famous letter to the black husband's family, there are also many contents in the letters to ask the family to send some money.

Of course, that's not the point.

Those who can be conscripted are strong laborers, which means that at the same time as being conscripted, a family loses a strong laborer, and temporarily loses a family pillar.

The bridge leaned out, the fog was a little heavy, the weather was a little cold, and the clothes I was wearing might be a little thin.

Looking up, the workers also got up separately and waited for the management to distribute today's breakfast and arrange their work content.

The bridge looked at the constant fog and lost his mind.

I don't know what's going on at home......

Qiao's father is in his sixties, and his health is not very good, he has lung disease, he is prone to coughing, qi deficiency, and he can't do heavy work.

Qiao's mother is also in her sixties and can't see clearly.

The bridge also has a wife who is not much different in age from him, and a nine-year-old child.

After the only strong laborer of the bridge family was enlisted, the burden of the family also fell on his wife.

My father and mother are not in good health, so I can't share much.

Recently, the weather has turned cold, and the bridge's winter coat has been worn for so long and has been torn, and it is not very warm, and the bridge wants to buy some winter clothes to survive the cold winter, but thinking of the situation at home, the bridge pursed his lips, and finally held back.

Bear with me, the winter service period will be over after this year, and you can get through it.

Anyway, it's not cold when you're working.

When I sleep, I am also crowded with my co-workers, which is not so unbearable.

Get through it...... That's it.

I just hope that I will be able to return home as soon as possible after the end of my term.

In ancient times, the lack of a strong labor force in a family was a disaster for the whole family.

Qiao thoughtless that his wife and children would be bullied in the township or something......

Before you know it, the sky is getting brighter and the fog is dissipating.

Strangely, their breakfast has not been distributed today, and the people who led them to work have not been given orders for a long time.

There was a bit of a commotion in the crowd, asking what was going on today.

It's just that the person in charge of leading them to start work doesn't know what's going on, and Shangguan directly lost contact...... I can't say five, six, seven, eight, just let the slightly commotion of the servant wait for a while.

It's rare that there is no construction period......

Even if there is no breakfast, it is not so difficult.

Everyone gathered together and said some meaty jokes......

The bridge was silent by nature, only listening and not speaking, and when he listened, he remembered the woman in his own house for no reason.

It's a little hard to think of this bridge......

At least there are some cheap pleasures at home, but here cheap happiness can no longer be satisfied, it is not allowed to chat when working, this is the law, after a day of work is even more tired and dark, lying there to sleep, there is no room to do a handicraft to release pressure......

Even if you barely have a little energy, it's just to mend your clothes or do something else.

Being able to make small talk with nothing to do like today is just a month or two of effort.

Everyone talked and laughed, although their stomachs were empty, they could bear it.

But from the rising sun to the sun......

It's a bit strange that construction hasn't started today.

The bridge was a little uneasy, and stood up straight to see if anyone came.

Until a long time......

A person who looked to be dressed in noble clothes stood still and spoke in a Qin dialect.

The bridge was a little far away and he couldn't hear it clearly, but he saw that after the officials left, the people around him were in a boil.

Qiao squeezed over and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

"Stopped!"

"The adult just said that there will be another meal later, and after eating, we will be given food rations, and we will be allowed to go home."

The bridge was stunned for a moment, and then fell into ecstasy.

"Going home?"

"I'm going home!"

The entire mausoleum of the First Emperor did not know how many people participated in the scene of labor, and fell into a carnival.

Under the heavy physical exertion, they have no intention of thinking about the magnificence of the work they have done......

That's the magnificence of a person, not their magnificence.

And the same is true of Afang Palace.

Accompanied by shock and ecstasy, Zhao Si's name was naturally inevitably mentioned.

There is not much contact between the 500,000 laborers and society, and even the understanding of fairy food is obtained from family letters.

Not to mention memorizing a person's name.

But now, Zhao Si's name is undoubtedly remembered by 500,000 servants.

Because they are the most direct beneficiaries.

Also the fastest beneficiary.

Now that the planting season and harvest season have passed, the benefits of tax cuts may not be realized until next year.

But because of Zhao Si, they can now set off and go home.

Qiao didn't even know what Zhao Si's official position was, and what his origin was.

He didn't even know where to kowtow.

But he felt that Zhao Si must be a good official.

I have received a benefit, that is, a good official!

(No, it's a little bit of a small event today.) )
