For ordinary people, it is only possible to eat so well all year round, that is, in the days when coolies work in the fields.

Most of the time, I was half-hungry.

However, it is no wonder that such earthworks to dig rivers are heavy physical labor, and they are no easier than when farming is busy.

If you don't have enough to eat, you really don't have the strength to work!

I have a full meal every day, and occasionally a little meat and oily water.

Coupled with the fact that wages are paid on time every day, this is enough to make these people who work very satisfied, and they hope that the project will never be over.

"This food is not bad, I can eat enough, but I am a little short of oil and water. ”

Zhang Rizao inspected the construction site and couldn't help nodding when he saw these people working and eating.

This time, for the big project of south-to-north water diversion, it can almost be said that it is a bloody investment.

The Qin Party completely regarded it as a political achievement project, and used a large number of young and low-ranking officials like Zhang Rizao to supervise and even be directly responsible.

These young people who have just debuted, all of them have strong blood and strength, and they have not yet been smoothed out, plus they all want to make meritorious contributions, and they will soar in the future.

Almost all of them are solid, and there are much less prevarications like those old fritters in the past.

This can ensure that these servants can eat enough and get money.

Instead of as in the past, even if the imperial court allocated funds, most of them were put into the pockets of officials at all levels. What really falls into the hands of the people is at most two or three layers......

This is not to say that this is the case for labor, even when it is a disaster relief, it is often like this!

However, this time the court was ruthless, and killed more than a dozen officials at all levels above the fourth grade in a row.

Coupled with the supervision of young officials such as Zhang Rizao, this can be regarded as ensuring that more than fifty or sixty percent of the silver money is spent on the people.

Hearing Zhang Rizao say that there was no oil and water, a responsible official shouted with a bitter face: "My lord, it is already very difficult to make these servants have a full stomach.

So many people want oil and water...... So where is it possible?"

Zhang Rizao sneered: "I didn't say that there is oil and water every day, but every three or five days, I always have to let these servants see it, right?"

They are all raised by their parents, and they are not livestock, so how can they not see meat at all?"

In fact, in classical society, it was not easy to eat oil and water.

Let's not talk about meat.

Let's just say oil......

Don't talk about animal oil, just talk about vegetable oil, it's more expensive.

Generally, when it comes to vegetable oil, the first thing that comes to mind is sesame oil, which is ground from sesame seeds...... The price can be imagined.

As for what large-scale cultivation, there are no oil-producing crops at all.

Things like palm oil, peanut oil...... Not at all!

And rapeseed oil was also introduced and cultivated after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the previous life, and it was planted on a large scale......

Therefore, it is really not easy to get fat in such an era.

"Adults are embarrassed for villains, where do I get so much oil and water......"

The person in charge almost burst into tears.

"Well, I won't talk about three or five days. Ten days for one meal, if you can't arrange it again, you will not blame the official for turning his face and not recognizing people!"

Zhang Rizao sneered.

The person in charge thought about it for a long time, getting some chicken heads and oxtails, all kinds of water, getting some cheap fish and shrimp, etc., but he was able to barely make do.

Just close your eyes like this, and nod your head in pain.

"Good!"

Zhang Rizao laughed: "If your section of river work is repaired, this official will personally ask the court for credit!"

With a big stick, you always have to give some carrots to eat, right?

Otherwise, where would these people still be in the mood to do things? Just don't make trouble.

After appeasing the person in charge for a few words, Zhang Rizao hurried and went to the next construction site.

"In the past two years, the weather has also been really evil, and the drought area has become larger and larger, I hope that this river can be repaired as soon as possible, and the water from the south will be mobilized to the north......

Thinking like this, I am worried, and I wish I could go faster.

Every dynasty, even in the last days, is not without talent......

There are always a group of responsible and capable officials like Zhang Rizao.

However, the reason why it is the end of the dynasty is that it is lifeless, even if it is capable and responsible, but it is impossible to get ahead, and can only sink into the subordinates.

And such a super river worker can make the whole court move.

Once it moves, then the situation is different, and those who are capable will always stand out.

And the lifeless tissues can also be rejuvenated.

That's what it's all about.

Of course, this can only be done when the upper echelons of the court have not completely rotted.

For example, if it was placed in the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, it would still work in the early and middle stages of Wanli.

At that time, the atmosphere of the court had not been completely corrupted, and it was still able to do things.

But after the middle and late Wanli period......

With Wanli's intention to retaliate, he did not go to court for decades, did not make up officials, and deliberately undermined the civil service system.

In this way, after the middle and late periods, the atmosphere was completely corrupted, and party strife began to rise.

By the time of the Apocalypse, the entire imperial atmosphere had been almost destroyed.

can only use eunuchs as-stirring sticks.

It's just that in this way, the party struggle has become more and more intense, and it has even become a war between the eunuchs and Donglin.

The originally healthy ecological system in the court has been almost completely destroyed.

By the time of Chongzhen, he had almost lost his skills to return to the sky!

Fortunately, although this dynasty has reached the late stage, it should be about the same as before Wanli, and the ecological environment in the court has not completely deteriorated.

In other words, the upper echelons have not yet completely fallen!

Only then do we have the ability to carry out this kind of great work while carrying out self-renewal and change.

Wang Zhenling watched such a scene silently and had a clearer understanding of humanity.

"There are still a lot of capable people in this court! Sure enough, humanity is like fire...... It's all about tossing.

A dynasty just can't calm down, and calming down will soon mean self-destruction.

The so-called invincible foreign patients will perish in the country. That's about what it means!"

Just like a flame, it is an emanating state, and if it is still, it means destruction.

At this time, as soon as the imperial court official office moved, it could be seen that the imperial court official office was still very capable. It is far better than Wang Zhenling expected!

Originally, the tax collected by the imperial court was divided into two parts, one was labor, that is, each adult was obliged to work for the imperial court for a period of time every year.

Originally, once the government built any project, such as repairing the city, pipelines, canals, and even the imperial tomb, the people needed to bring their own dry food to serve the government.

This kind of labor was the most severe in ancient times, and a bad one could make people ruin their families and die in a foreign land......

It is the people who resist the most.
