He was so frightened that he took two steps back, but Wu Diao Si was holding him up behind him.
Li Zhao couldn't help but blush. He was slapped in the face just after showing off, which was a bit embarrassing.
In front of me is a crowd of people.
It's so damn scary.
Those who didn't know thought he was guilty of public outrage.
Long Jia'an, the old village head of Longmen Village, looked at him with a smile on his face, pointed to the thousands of villagers behind him and said: "Your Majesty... there are a few people coming to participate in the construction of the palace today..."
The corners of Li Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he suspected that Lao Long was in Versailles.
You so damned called thousands of people to come over, how about you call me young?
Li Zhao waved to Long Jia'an, and the two entered the tent and said, "Are these from nearby villages?"
"The majority of people are from the village, and some are from Longyang Township. People from other townships came over after hearing the news." Long Jia'an said immediately: "If it weren't for time, there would be more people!"
"Before I came here, I asked the village chiefs to screen the people first. I was also afraid that someone would sneak in."
Li Zhao's eyes lit up, Long Jia'an was a man who knew how to get things done.
"Help me pick a few reliable ones, and we'll officially start construction today!"
"Yes!" Long Jia'an grinned.
He found that the prince was really easy to talk to and had no temper.
Li Zhao immediately called Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong: "Help me count the manpower. I need a detailed list."
"yes!"
Soon, the area where Prince You's Mansion was built was filled with improvised tables.
Xiaoqing, Xiaohong and several other people in the palace who could read and digitize were assigned tasks by Li Zhao.
Long Jiaan does know how to handle things, and he selects his own representatives. They have organizational skills and prestige, and can play a leading and suppressive role. Otherwise, the situation will be chaotic.
"Carpenters are all here..." Carpenter Long stood on the piles he had built and shouted to the crowd.
"The bricklayers come here..."
"People who know how to raise pigs are here..."
“Is there anyone raising chickens, ducks and geese?”
"The pigweed cutters come here..."
"Come here who cut down the trees..."
"Come here if you are strong enough..."
You Wangwei is still very nervous. Now there are more people coming to work than their total number.
You Wangwei is now on a shift system, with two hundred people on duty every day, and the remaining eight hundred people work together to maintain the basic situation.
Thousands of people were gradually divided into countless small pieces with careful division of labor.
In this way, one can specialize in the art.
Wu Diao Si and Long Carpenter still had to lead people to continue buying tools. Although those small blacksmith shops did not have many tools, they all made fine things.
Knowing that King You wanted to buy it, he was naturally willing to accept a large order.
They have a stable source of income, so it is not difficult to negotiate prices.
Li Zhao will give priority to the countryside. If all the goods in the countryside have been purchased, he will go to the county.
There is a clear difference between today and yesterday, at least the popularity is quite high.
Li Zhao is responsible for taking charge of the overall situation and controlling the direction, while the others perform their respective duties.
Next, you have to buy materials.
Li Zhao also planned to let locals go in this matter, which would save a lot of trouble, and he would naturally have to save what should be saved.
Long Jia'an has already led his team to dig the ground. The ground must be dug flat, tamped, and then covered with a layer of lime to lay a good foundation.
After all, the construction of the palace is a big project, and there is nothing to be careless about. The standards are naturally extremely high.
Just digging out the foundation would take less than ten days and a half.
This is when there are a lot of people, otherwise it would take longer.
"Da Zhuang!"
"Hey!" A very burly man from Liujia Village next door. He is almost two meters tall. He eats a lot and is often hungry.
Li Zhao waved to him and said, "Be careful when you go up the mountain."
"I will pay attention!" Liu Dazhuang nodded excitedly. He did not expect that he would become the leader of the tree-cutting team.
There are more than sixty people in their group, all of whom are honest men.
Everyone carries two pairs of gloves, a hatchet, and a saw!
The construction of the palace required a large number of trees, and it was impossible for Li Zhao to buy them all. There were too many trees in this era, and there was no such thing as a crime for cutting down trees. Therefore, everyone suggested that Li Zhao send people up the mountain to cut down trees.
After the trees were cut down, they arranged for special people to bring the branches down the mountain so that they could be dried and made into firewood.
As for the trunks of trees, they need to be peeled and dried in the sun. Only in this way will these trees not rot easily during construction.
Ancient people also had a lot of wisdom when it came to tree trunk preservation. They collected many leaves and grass blades that Li Zhao didn't even know about, made special liquids to soak the trees, and dried them one by one.
This made Li Zhao realize for the first time that so many processes were required to build a house. No wonder houses built in ancient times were still fine despite countless earthquakes in later generations.
Every link must be rigorous.
Li Zhao couldn't help but think of the developers and real estate developers of later generations. Their hearts were really dark.
Although this era is a bit bitter, the advantage is that people are sincere.
"Woof woof——"
Many farm dogs that have not grown up are howling.
These dogs were sent to Li Zhao voluntarily by the villagers. They felt that a house as big as the prince would definitely need many dogs to guard it.
Li Zhao had raised this kind of dog in his previous life. He felt that local dogs were the least pretentious and the most awesome. Unlike the breeds bred in foreign countries, the prices were so high that it was very difficult.
Therefore, Li Zhao specially hired someone to raise a dog, and this person's name was Wu Xiaoxiao.
He is younger than Li Zhao, and the people in the countryside are uneducated and all believe in a cheap name to make a living.
Wu puppy is followed by more than 20 puppies of all colors. He never knew that raising dogs can also make money.
Now he is very happy because he likes puppies very much and he has an old female dog at home.
Wu Puppy's mission is to raise these dogs, and there is nothing else to do.
Yang Daqiang envied Wu Xiaowu because he was responsible for helping Li Zhao raise pigs.
Although he didn't understand, why did the prince raise pork that smelled so fishy?
Boom!
Li Bin and others were almost naked from the waist up. The weather was too hot and they would immediately get wet even if they wore short shirts.
"Work harder!"
Everyone is working together to build a super large pigsty. This pigsty is very important.
At least, that's what Li Zhao thinks.
Since he chose to start from scratch, he tried to control every step. Although the money was spent like water, he felt it was worth it.
After the pig pen was built, Li Zhao asked people to put the purchased pigs in one by one.
Yang Daqiang is a well-known veteran pig farmer. The pigs he raises are big and fat, but no one envies him. Because the pork is smelly and fishy, the pigs often cannot be bought at a good price.
Ordinary villagers are reluctant to buy meat to eat. Throughout the year, they may only be able to eat a little during the Chinese New Year. The rest of the time they are frugal.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Zhao nodded with a smile and asked, "Are you still getting used to it?"
Yang Daqiang smiled a little cautiously and naively.
Li Zhao said without any airs: "How should I raise this pig to make it fat?"
