"You are so good at engineering, you have so many good tools, and everyone has great skills. Are you willing to go to the Northland to build a fort?"
July 11th, there are four days until the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The drainage system for sewerage has been completed and the water tower has been built, including the sewage treatment plant at the back.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the people in the palace could finally use the toilet and no longer needed to use buckets to clean things out.
He felt like crying, it was so difficult!
In the past, I would sit on a stool with a hollow center, a bucket underneath, and incense around it.
Now there is a place for the pottery burners to sit and squat, but there is an extra water tank.
Rinse it as soon as you are done with it, and rinse it with the rough edges. It will be clean, but there will be a little residue. If the palace maids and eunuchs use a bucket filled with water, just rinse it more.
The palace maids and eunuchs were also happy. They no longer had to suffer as before, having to take the bucket to the clean room and pour it into a large round wooden bucket to be transported out the next day, just like the buckets used to put out fires.
At the same time, there is no need for them to clean the buckets. Water and electricity are always available, making it easier to serve people.
In the past, they had to keep watch. When His Majesty was sleeping, the curtains would be lowered and a lamp would be kept outside so that the lamp could not be extinguished.
His Majesty suddenly got up and immediately went over with a lamp. If he needed to relieve himself, he immediately fetched the things.
Now I keep a light, saying it is a low-power electric light, so don’t worry about it.
Your Majesty gets up, pulls the rope, and the headlights turn on. If Your Majesty wants to relieve himself, then go to the next room! There is something inside, and you can even take a shower!
When everyone was happy, Zhu Yuanzhang personally met Wang Yiqian and wanted Wang Yiqian and others to go north.
This group of people was so powerful, including the subsequent 300 people, a total of 501 people.
So far, no one has left due to injury, and no one has left due to death.
Previously, a team of 200 people led by Wang Yiqian built houses in Xiaqiu Village, but later they cooperated with other people.
Everyone gradually became familiar with each other and cooperated with each other more and more tacitly. At the same time, everyone worked hard to learn knowledge.
Normally there are several ways to solve a problem, so several people think that they are right.
At the end of the day, I realized that my own was not very good, but I persisted because it was the right to speak and authority.
This kind of thing is most common among old craftsmen, especially when there are technical instructors.
For example, digging pits by hand and burying cables. Old craftsmen who know the technology said that this needs to be dug 500 wide, which is quick and easy to do.
The person in charge of technology said how thick is a cable? Two hundred trenches are enough, just dig them.
Dig it! The more you dig, the harder it becomes, and the more you dig, the narrower it becomes, because it is difficult to use force when digging by hand, and it cannot work in such a narrow area.
Seeing that the progress was slowing down, the old craftsman became angry, I told you it would be five hundred wide, hurry up!
The technician knew he was wrong. He couldn't listen to the old craftsman. Otherwise, how much would he lose face? Two hundred, yes, dig it.
In the end, the ditch not only took a lot of time, but was also irregular.
The old craftsman sneered, and the other workers were also angry. The technician put all the blame on the old craftsman and the workers, saying that they could not complete the work within the specified time according to the technical requirements.
This kind of thing will not happen in Wang Yiqian's team. When they encounter different situations, they immediately come together to discuss it.
They don't need to prove themselves to others, they just need to prove the strength of the team to Xiaqiu Village.
When Xiaqiu Village first arrived, the 300 people we found were unconvinced! As a result, they were crushed by Wang Yiqian's team.
Now they have become a part of it, working hard to study technology, cooperate tacitly, and strictly abide by operational safety.
They were here to repair the things in the palace, and it was a pleasure to watch them work.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if they went to the north, they could intimidate the craftsmen there.
In terms of individual skills, there may be some craftsmen who have reached the state of art in a certain aspect and are much better than these 501 people.
But in terms of team, there is no team in the entire Ming Dynasty that can compare with it.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Our families are here and we are worried about something. Besides, there is always work to be done in Xiaqiu Village, the common people..."
Wang Yiqian didn't know what position his team held in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. Anyway, he didn't want to leave, so he knelt down.
"Okay! Get up! There's something going on in Xiaqiu Village. You...you have to change people in a few days. Zhu Yichang, the head of the village, is going to the north, and Hanhan."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands, feeling very sorry.
"Your Majesty! Do you think Zhu Lichang is going north?" Wang Yiqian did not get up and remained kneeling.
"That's right! It's just a few days away. After the Hungry Ghost Festival, we have to set off."
There was a trace of reluctance on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and his two sons were sent away and would not be able to come back during the New Year.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to go, but we have to follow them when they come back."
Wang Yiqian immediately changed his mind. The head of Xiaqiu Village and Hanhan were going out? That must be an important matter, and I can't hold it back.
After saying that, he stood up, let's go, why should I kneel?
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
"Wang Yiqian, how much money did Xiaqiu Village give you to do this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know that when I asked you to go, you knelt down and begged not to go, but when I mentioned going to Xiaqiu Village, you actually stood up?
"Back to Your Majesty, it used to be 200 fen a day, and the others were 50 fen a day. Now, the others are 150 fen a day, and I am 500 fen.
Your Majesty, we didn’t want it, it was given to us by Xiaqiu Village. Now everyone in our country can read and do arithmetic, and can understand and draw drawings.
Everyone in our team is a good player when released, and they are responsible for guiding technology elsewhere.
I am special and can do it without any money. Our eldest son is doing technical work.
Our third son and daughter-in-law, Dan'er, just gave birth to a grandson. The fat boy is very happy.
If the leader leaves and Hanhan leaves, we have to leave. We can't leave them without anyone to use!
The craftsmen who are working sometimes tease people and ask them to take a handful. When the people in Xiaqiu Village go outside, can we let others tease them?
Our life was given to us by Xiaqiu Village. Building a fort is just bricks and mortar! As long as we are here, we can teach others how to do things and be a good person! "
Wang Yiqian puffed up his chest as he spoke. He used to be a master at building various houses, and then he worked hard to learn and adapt.
When it comes to bricks and concrete, if he doesn't say anything, who else would dare to speak out?
He decided to go and win face for the people of Xiaqiu Village and suppress all the other disobedient foreign craftsmen.
He knows that there are many people who are better than him in carving skills, so what?
Is this what everyone is comparing to? Building a castle is not embroidery, and there is no need for carved beams and painted buildings.
Moreover, he is a team player. Who can have a team of 500 people led by him in the entire Ming Dynasty?
You are a team formed by others on a temporary basis, scheming against each other, slacking off, and shirking responsibilities.
I want you to see the tacit understanding of our Xiaqiu Village construction team, and I won’t scare you to death!
"We can fight on the battlefield, not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to see Wang Yiqian's demeanor. The team trained by Xiaqiu Village should be like this.
