The chief thought for a while, but couldn't think of a way to get benefits while giving benefits to others. He looked silly.
Zhu Wentian adjusted the brightness of the kerosene lamp: "Only when people are full can they have the strength to work. According to the current progress, the construction period will be divided into sections.
Normally, you have to do as much work as you want in as much time as you want, and you can't be too slow.
Then give meat to skilled craftsmen so that they can gather enough strength to meet the construction deadline ahead of schedule.
During the remaining time, they can rest or slow down without delaying the work schedule.
I am recruiting high-tech things from outside for them to do. If they eat the meat, they have to give us face.
Let’s take the money we earn from working and give some meat to others, and continue to give those with good skills good meals.
Then continue to take over the work. In the end, according to the previously established construction period, not only can we make it ahead of schedule, but everyone can also maintain good health.
Each of us officials received a share of the money, and we were not afraid of whoever came to inspect it. The construction was completed ahead of schedule and the quality was outstanding. "
Li Chang: "..."
He recalled the first time he worked and ate meat in Xiaqiu Village. Indeed, working with meat was faster than working without meat.
"Hanhan, you are right, their technology is valuable, and it cannot be reflected when it is used to build the palace.
People outside want to find skilled craftsmen but cannot find them, so there is no way.
Anyway, the supervisors and the government officials are colluding. If the craftsmen and the people who work with them are well fed, they won't say anything.
In winter, they were even asked to burn the fire to roast the foundation and materials to continue construction, and they repaired the heated kang themselves.
The progress of the project is faster than that of other Prince's Palaces built together. Do you want to do this now? "
The director analyzed what Hanhan said and considered the feasibility.
Let the craftsmen take on outside work to make money, and then provide food for themselves.
"The coal mines in Xianyang are digging wells and will soon be able to produce coal. In the winter, every household in Xi'an has a kang, which is suitable for burning coal. Don't put down the fire at night and withdraw it. The kang will last at least until the next morning."
Zhu Wentian talked about something that seemed different from what he just said.
But the chief understood: "Tomorrow I will tell the prince and King Qin that the construction period of the palace is not as important as the lives of the people in King Qin's fiefdom."
…
At dawn, a small amount of snow fell, and it melted instantly when it fell to the ground.
Everyone eats the same meal, millet porridge, big meat buns, and pickles.
Zhu Fang thought that the craftsman had been hungry for a long time, so he would make up for it while he was there.
The chief ate two buns and told them what had happened: "Ordinary people only need to spend a little money, and rich households will charge more to use good bricks."
Zhu Biao swallowed the bun in his mouth: "Did you hear that? You are indeed stupid. Learn from it. I will give you books and you can copy and read each other's books.
This method is not written in the book. You must learn to draw inferences from one example. It is shameful to be greedy for such a small amount of craftsmen's food money.
I promise this on behalf of my second brother, you do it and don’t give me the chance to kill you. "
He spoke to the officials and supervisors who came over and had only millet porridge to eat. Since he didn't want to kill them, he could only ask them to come closer and follow suit.
The people in Baiguan, the prefect, nodded vigorously, fearing that His Highness the Crown Prince would suddenly change his mind.
Judging from the meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince's words, it was obvious that his life was saved, and so was his officialdom.
Some people nodded, tears falling down.
"You look like you have no future." Zhu Ping looked down upon him and said, "The manager is right. If you are good at it, you can do it. If you are not good at it, you can do it. If you are not good at it, you can do it. no."
"His Royal Highness King Qin is right. Well... Your Highness, do you use the money from selling soap to buy meat for the craftsmen?"
The prefect Bai Guan asked carefully, with the money from outside, what did you say?
"Why do we deal with a prefect like you? If it were the prefect Song Zifu of Ningguo Mansion, he would never ask the same question. He can handle it himself."
Zhu Qian was tired of comparing the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture with his own prefect of Xi'an Prefecture.
Bai Guan looked aggrieved. He didn't know what was going on with the prefect of Ningguo Mansion.
The chief was there to help: "Prefect Bai, I just told you about the situation and asked for work from outside.
The current job is to help people make bed beds, so naturally it is not convenient to take on other things.
Where’s the money from selling soap! Take it out and ask the craftsmen if they have good skills for making handicrafts so that you can buy materials.
After the work is done, sell it for money and give it to the craftsmen. Your own money will also increase accordingly, so you can use it in case of special circumstances. "
"Thank you, Zhu Lichang!" Bai Guan breathed a sigh of relief, grateful.
"There are two more people left in my government to take care of things. When it comes to greenhouse vegetable sales, we can't rely on people who learned from Xiaqiu Village. They only know how to grow and don't know how to handle sales."
Zhu Ping no longer relied on officials and arranged his own manpower.
After breakfast, the team headed north, leaving the local area alone.
If you want to go north directly, you will encounter a desert, a desert that is very frustrating. You have to protect the sand artificially... Mu Us Desert.
This desert was formed by natural factors as well as man-made factors. It appeared in the Tang Dynasty and then grew bigger and bigger.
After many years, in order to prevent it from disappearing, I had to set aside a place and keep it instead of planting trees! We still have to develop desert tourism!
But now, there is still a large area of grassland and forest, so you are safe when passing through the desert.
The main purpose is to let everyone experience the desert. Otherwise, you can walk northwest to the upper left turning point of the Yellow River.
Walk through the desert to get familiar with it and prepare for the next journey through the desert.
If you go slightly eastward from Lushan, you can see the oil-producing Yanchang County, where the people drilled their own oil wells.
One day later, the team arrived in Tongguan County. There were a lot of refractory brick materials provided locally.
The key is convenient transportation. There is a river flowing in the direction of Chang'an. Just dig it out and send it there.
Zhu Xi only said, "Our fiefdom is rich in products" and continued on his way the next day. He had no time to see how many things there were.
He wanted to get some more oil and take it with him on the road, just in case it could be used! Like fire attack or something.
There is a city wall in Helin. If the enemy attacks, they will pour oil from above and light a fire. No one can even think about attacking the city.
"Winter is coming, is it getting worse?" Zhu Xi woke up early in the morning of winter and found that something was wrong.
We arrived at the place. We arrived in Yanchang County last night and didn’t have time to see the oil. We had to eat first and then rest.
Today is the beginning of winter. The further north you go, the higher the latitude, so it gets colder and the water outside freezes.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid. If the sun rises again, the ice will melt. You need to wear more clothes." The head of the house comforted Zhu Xi.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's really cold. Will it make me sick from the cold?" Zhu Xi was worried about getting sick, and he hadn't even arrived yet!
"As long as His Highness has a normal daily routine and won't get sick, he can be treated immediately if he does get sick! It's all a minor problem." The chief continued to comfort him.
"After dinner, let's go take a look at the oil. Can it still be pumped out in winter? Will the oil freeze?" Zhu Xi was very afraid that the oil would freeze.
"Your Highness, oil will not freeze, it will solidify. We are not afraid of the current temperature. When it is the coldest time in winter, it will not be able to be pumped out."
The director did some popular science and served wontons. The steaming wontons are very appetizing.
