Chapter 153: The Road

Over time, the officials felt that it was really good to be respected by the common people.

In the past, the errand was simply a muddy life, and I was always being exploited by my superiors.

Now you don't need to think about that at all.

Comfortable.

I also have energy to do things, and the treatment is really good.

We have to cherish this hard-won opportunity.

I heard that starting in November, the yamen will start recruiting new people.

The system of elimination is still adopted.

At that time, there will be monthly assessments.

There are three main categories of assessments.

The first is the physical fitness assessment, and I can't pass the two-mile run.

The second is the cultural assessment, when the time comes, you will be randomly referred to ten words, and if you can't answer four, you won't fail.

The third is the business assessment, when you are an official, you have to learn the basics of judgment, the law, the autopsy, the first aid knowledge, and random inspection.

Anyway, at the end of the year, if you fail more than two of the three, you can get out.

The most difficult thing is the third business assessment, which simply makes the officials more brainy than the other.

I'm afraid that I'm smoking back the law!

I memorize the 30 commonly used rules every night, and I memorize them when I am on patrol.

Otherwise, people have to be forced.

The officials were stunned to make the thirty laws into a smooth mouth, and it was more convenient to memorize them.

And Chen Ze's financial budget has finally been supported again.

Soaps and perfumes are once again a hit.

Because it had been laid out for a long time, Qin Boyang had hyped it up in other places in the eight southern states, and the first batch of goods was quickly robbed.

Of course, the main thing is that the pricing is not expensive.

The pricing of consumables can't be too high, and it's unrealistic to expect Ning Yu to sell like that.

The powerful can't stand it.

The pricing is in the range of five to twenty taels, and the fragrance is diverse.

The cost is relatively high, after all, the raw material needs alcohol to extract.

See which scent is the most popular, and the next sale can be carried out for production concentration.

This thing is indeed in short supply, and it is really easy to sell.

But at present, whether it is perfume or soap, the production technology is still not mature, the production cycle is long, and it cannot be supplied in large quantities.

While Chen Ze was busy tossing Mu Que, Qin Boyang had already opened up the sales channels for soap and perfume.

It's not as outrageous as the rain frosting, but it also has a profit of 50,000 taels.

And the benefits that can be produced behind the frosting are not high, but perfume and soap are not surprising, and there is a profit of 50,000 taels every month, and as time goes by, the technology becomes more and more mature, and this profit will be higher and higher.

Qin Boyang has already set up his own research department and invested money to start technology research and development.

As soon as 50,000 taels were sent to Qingzhou, they were included in the budget with a snap.

I didn't cover it hot.

It is really necessary to start repairing the roads in Qingzhou City, many places have rotted to the point of not being present, and there are basically overturns every day.

At present, the common people use bluestone slabs to simply build a road that people can walk.

Moreover, it is obviously a hot day, but there are some places that are so muddy that the people's domestic water seeps and cannot seep down.

The most serious thing is the vicinity of the public toilets that are more than 200 years old, the smell is so stinking, Chen Ze doesn't know how the people in the neighborhood live their lives.

Some parts of the sewer still need to be repaired again.

The new city expanded during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Sui Dynasty had sewers, and the underground of the main street was sewered, connecting the moat on the other side of the ancient city.

Cement is the natural choice at the moment.

But how to repair and where to start are all issues that need to be considered.

This thing...... The common people may not necessarily support it, especially the vendors along the street are afraid that they will oppose it.

In the past, the road was built directly with mud and bluestone bricks, and it was not much to care about when it was paved, and it would not delay people's business.

But after all, cement paving takes time to cool and dry, and it takes at least two or three days to work, and it is definitely not allowed to pass during this period.

Therefore, this matter must be prophetically communicated to the common people and strive for understanding.

The main work of the officials of the Qingzhou Yamen in the past two days was to do the ideological work of the traders along the street and prepare for road repair.

At the same time, the cement workshop also began to pave the road.

It's definitely not just a matter of sticking cement on top and that's it.

The ground needs to be tamped, and so does the cement.

It's just that there is no vibrator in these years, so the cement can only be made more solid by manual repeated pedaling, so that the cement is stronger and not easy to collapse.

The height of the new road needs to be unified to ensure stability, and the sewer groove on both sides of the road needs to be reserved, and the angle needs to be considered after adding the sewer to ensure that the sewer is smooth and not blocked, and the main sewer road must be added.

This requires professional technical personnel.

The Great Sui has the unit of the Baolu Division, but the last generation of the Great Sui Dynasty canceled this unit, the reason is that because it feels like a waste of money, there is no need to exist, and the Great Chu did not add it back.

Chen Ze almost searched Qingzhou to find six people who had worked as errands in Baolu Division before, and they were basically all at the age of sixty.

These six people were responsible for maintaining the sewers and roads in Qingzhou before, and they have relevant work experience, but they are too old and have a bad memory, and they can't remember the information about the Qingzhou sewers.

And at this age, I can't get into the water anymore, and my health is not very good, after all, if you want to repair the sewer, you can only swim in the water from the moat, and you have already had problems with your body for many years.

The craftsmen of Emperor Yuan of Sui didn't think about how big the sewer was, and he had to worry about the people hiding in it if he repaired it too much.

The sewer is only a semicircle with a diameter of one meter, and it is difficult for a child to get into it, let alone a normal person.

Moreover, the sewers have not been repaired for 50 years, and several places have been blocked, making it more risky for people to get into them.

However, as long as everyone works together, it is not a big problem.

Eight roads have been paved experimentally in the cement workshop.

Each one is not long, ranging from ten to twenty meters.

The materials used are different, and the way the road is paved is different.

One of them is to lay the foundation with gravel, and after tamping, directly pave the cement and smooth it, and choose natural precipitation as a contrast.

After the cement has solidified, the horse-drawn cart will come and run directly, or pour water on it for pressure and water seepage tests.

Trouble is trouble, but it's the way to go.

A relatively mature technical solution can save too much unnecessary waste and repair, and can also lay the foundation for the construction of dams in the future.

The masters of the cement workshop have begun to give full play to their subjective initiative, combined with the successful operation of the turbine water wheel, have come up with a hydraulic automatic mixer, and even accurate barrel ratio and time control, so that the cement is the most uniform and the highest strength after mixing.

Even the hydraulic large stone crusher was tossed out, and there were basically no shortcomings except that it almost emptied the ironmaking workshop's stock of fine iron.

There is always a reward for your efforts.

Thankfully, it wasn't money to buy a lesson.
