Sheng Yuan knew nothing about the turmoil in Kyoto for the time being. She had been keeping a close eye on the clerks in the household for the past two days, watching them make their abacus go up in smoke.
"Sir, this is how much it will cost to rebuild the city wall." The scribes in charge of the accounts presented the booklet with trembling hands.
The uncontrollable shaking of my hands is not because of fear, but mainly because of tiredness!
It is not scary to settle accounts, but it is tiring to settle old accounts.
Sheng Yuan asked them to follow the old routine, not because they wanted to embarrass anyone, but mainly because they wanted to find out the true structure of the existing city wall from the old accounts.
The colleague on duty also looked on, and when he saw the enlarged numbers on the booklet, he couldn't help but take a breath.
"Sir, this can equal the tax revenue that we have kept in An City for five years!" Sheng Yuan hummed, hearing the distress in the other party's words, and couldn't help but smile, "You guys must not have been very polite when dividing public accounts in the past, right? Why, the government office is now reluctant to do important things that benefit the country and the people?"
When Tongzhi and others heard this, their expressions changed with horror: "Big..."
Before they could speak, Sheng Yuan smiled brightly and patted each other on the shoulder: "I was just joking. Look, I scared you! I said before that I will not ignore past grudges, so I won't settle old scores with you! Then! This is a matter for the previous governor, and I only look at your performance after taking office."
She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and everyone with white faces forced a smile: "..."
If there was a voiceover at this time, these people would have been singing "Listen to me and thank you" in their hearts by now.
Sheng Yuan got the cost data from Hufang, called the general manager in charge of urban construction and other matters, and went to the workshop together.
After she was far away, everyone in the household dared to breathe loudly.
The colleague on duty also wiped his sweat, looked at each other with a wry smile and sighed silently with his subordinates: What evil have they done to meet such an immediate boss!
"How's it going? If there are enough materials and supplies, how long will it take to successfully complete the city wall fortifications?" Sheng Yuan adhered to the principle of "professional people do professional things" and called together reliable scribes and craftsmen to ask.
Most of the people in the workshop are newly recruited, so the atmosphere seems to be much better than that in the transfer room.
Most of the people who work here are a little crazy or obsessed with engineering construction.
When people in other houses look at the city wall design, they first look at the cost.
However, the people in the workshop only looked at the drawings themselves and basically did not consider the cost issue.
"Sir, this design drawing you have is beyond ordinary means. It will be difficult to complete it before the weather warms up." The subordinate in charge of the workshop is an honest person and always speaks directly. He never thought of taking into account his immediate superior. Mood.
Of course, Sheng Yuan was not disappointed when he heard this. After all, the other party said "somewhat difficult" rather than "impossible".
There’s nothing to be afraid of if you have difficulties, as long as you solve them you’ll be fine.
"Let's discuss what we can do to overcome the difficulty. As long as the conditions are not excessive, I will fully cooperate. If you ask for people, give things, and if you ask for money, give money!" Sheng Yuan thought of the city's commercial taxes that had just been collected by the warehouse. , the wealthy one gave the promise.
When the people in the workshop heard this, they immediately became happy.
"Sir, please wait for a moment while we trace the city wall map..."
"No, this is what I traced, and it's for you." Sheng Yuan handed the picture over casually, "It's just that I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible, preferably today..."
Sheng Yuan, who originally wanted the workshop to hand over the plan before the deadline, noticed that these honest leaders showed embarrassment, and immediately changed his mind: "At most, I will give you the results before the deadline."
Sheng Yuanjie clasped her fingers and thought in her mind: "I was given an extra two days of work. Isn't this kind of me?"
The people in the workshop hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and agreed.
The city wall is related to the safety of the entire Fucheng. They are all locals of Fucheng, and they have to fight for the safety of their loved ones at home!
"Sir, this city wall plan requires the city wall to be built to be two feet wide. The interior of the city wall is divided into three parts: the outer layer, the mezzanine layer, and the inner layer. Each part needs to be built with an upper, middle, and lower inner passage.
This, this is not too difficult, but you require that the city walls on both sides should leave sufficient windows for crossbow shooting... This is a bit too dense, and will affect the strength of the city wall.
If the enemy uses siege equipment, I'm afraid the city wall will be easily destroyed... More importantly, the space inside the city wall is cramped, which will have a great impact on the emotions of the soldiers inside. If it's fine for a moment, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay for a long time.
We also need to consider the environment and temperature inside, as well as the issue of people inside obeying orders. "
The general judge in charge of the city work followed Sheng Yuan, hurriedly walking and reminding him in a low voice.
Hearing this, Sheng Yuan nodded: "Of course I know, but these are problems that the people in the workshop need to solve. I am only responsible for thinking of ideas."
Tongpan, who thought Sheng Yuan had a solution: "..."
Looking at Lord Fu Zun's matter-of-fact attitude, Tongpan suddenly realized: Sure enough, he is still too simple and too shameless!
