Chapter 1828
Bai Yixiu inspected around and felt that he could start work.
Because this is his private road, the Treasury will not give a penny or provide manpower.
Bai Yi built the road out of his own pocket and hired people to build the road. Fortunately, raw materials don't need to spend money.
After returning from outside the city in the evening, Bai Yixiu began to design the road.
The whole process is 53. Some slopes in the middle need to be changed. They should be repaired soon.
So Bai Yixiu asked Wang Zhangshi in the house to go outside to help him recruit people to build roads.
"Lord, it's a matter of burning money to build roads. Although there is silver in our house, it costs a lot of money to build such a road." Wang Changshi hesitated, worried that it was the Lord's hot head, regretted later, and it was their fault.
Bai Yixiu said, "take a few people to the villages along the way to recruit people. Young men pay 30 Wen a day and recruit 300 people first! This is what Wang studied himself.
Although it has been reported to the father emperor, the Treasury will not allocate one or two silver, so you need to use the silver in the palace. You can't exploit those hired people, otherwise the king's road will be sprayed with dog blood by those imperial governors before it is repaired! "
Seeing that Bai Yixiu had made up his mind, Wang Changshi took Bai Yixiu's request written on paper and began to do it.
There are three villages along the way. Based on the principle of proximity, one village recruits 100 young men, then divides them into three sections, starts digging the foundation on the planned route, and then smashes it with stones.
It's summer now, not a busy time for farming. Although the weather is very hot, there are many surplus young workers.
They usually go to work in the city, or give others short-term and long-term jobs, and they can earn more than ten Wen a day at most.
Now, Prince an's residence is bidding for thirty Wen a day to ask them to build roads.
After hearing this, these people were very surprised and half convinced. They came to sign up. After a day's work, they received the money.
Of course these men are willing to work as long as they have money.
In order to prevent the foundation from being damaged by more rain in summer, Bai Yixiu specially went to Qin Tianjian to observe the weather.
Adopt the method of digging the land boundary and paving the road at the same time, make a scientific overall plan and maximize the efficiency.
A layer of stones was sprinkled on the excavated subgrade, and then the cement mixed with sand was mixed with water. After reconciliation, it was directly paved on these stones and smoothed with long wood.
When the road hardened slowly, it was covered with a layer of straw, but covered with other things to prevent the sun from being too hot and drying cracks.
Villagers often come out to perform corvee and often build roads, but they have never seen such a way of road construction.
Very curious, but also looking forward to what is outstanding about this road!
Because it's summer and the temperature is high, the road works very fast. It's only a day's work. The surface has been dry.
Some people tried to step on it, only footprints, just footprints, no pit at all.
The road to Tangshan is under construction, which naturally attracts the attention of many forces in the capital.
Now is not the time to perform corvee. Unexpectedly, some people enlist civilian men to work. After seeing this, these imperial historians are eager to try and play one after another.
But they have to investigate before they play. If they play without evidence, they will also be punished.
So the old censors of the imperial Taiwan sent people one by one to the road of Tangshan to investigate.
It doesn't matter. I saw the road builders getting money one by one!
