Looking at Paolao again, a huge pillar stands in the sky, with a gap for firewood piled below, and four wheels at the bottom that can be moved at will.
On the huge cannon-burning pillar, there are countless evil ghost shapes carved on it, all showing the image of evil ghosts, which is scary at first sight. At the bottom is the place where prisoners are bound, and there are two beasts with copper rings in their mouths, which can be used for binding. The hands also imply punishment!
As for the model of the grass basin, it is much simpler. It just leaves a gap in the middle for raising snakes... On the other two sides of the avenue, there are four big characters "Justice and Integrity" engraved on it, as if walking on it can cleanse the soul. .
"Not bad, not bad! It's really good!"
After Fei Zhong saw the three models, he couldn't help but praise: "No wonder the Grand Master asked me to cooperate with you. This architectural design alone is really profound. It will be world-famous in the future and spread through the ages! We and we I’m really ashamed of myself!”
"The two doctors praised it."
Jiang Ziya's old face was slightly red... At this moment, he was just an apprentice who had just come down from the mountain. He was far from reaching the vicissitudes of life, wisdom and clarity he would have later.
While practicing on the mountain, he also had low qualifications and just wanted to be disliked by his senior brothers and master. How had he ever heard such flattering words?
For a while, I felt very fond of Doctors Fei Zhong and You Hun, and I even wondered if the rumors circulating in Chaoge were slandering them!
"This is not a compliment. There is not much to say. The Star-Zhaing Tower alone is so magnificent and magnificent that it will definitely make the king forget to leave. The shape of the cannon is daunting. The Hao basin is even more excellent. Once it is completed, I want to walk in it. Above, we will all be careful to avoid making one mistake and regretting it for the rest of our lives!"
"Doctor Fei is so flattering, so flattering."
Jiang Ziya blushed with embarrassment and waved his hands repeatedly: "If this design is acceptable, why not hire people and allocate materials to start construction now?"
"Well... there is no problem with the distribution of supplies."
Fei Zhong stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "In the past two years, Dashang's treasury has been abundant, and there is no need to worry about building materials. But is it a bit troublesome to mobilize people?"
"ah?"
Jiang Ziya looked at Fei Zhong in astonishment: "Didn't the king say that people are hired to work with food? How come it turned into recruiting people?"
Fei Zhong smiled bitterly and explained: "Brother Ziya, you have just come to the court and you don't know something. Hiring ordinary people to work is also a very troublesome matter...
You also know about sweet potato planting last year, right? At that time, the king planted sweet potatoes on a large scale near Chaoge. The yield of sweet potatoes was sixty dan per mu, and the tax was only four out of ten... Not to mention that most of the sweet potatoes were planted in the mountains and forests, and no one harvested them at all.
This resulted in very few people being short of food near Chaoge. "
"Yes," You Hun also echoed: "Now is the time of the harvest. Compared with eating too much sweet potatoes, which can cause heartburn and bloating, these grains are what the people of Guizhou need to improve their rations."
"Most of the food in the DPRK is sweet potatoes. They use sweet potatoes as payment and hire Guizhou heads to work... To be honest, I am afraid that very few Guizhou heads will come."
"For Qianzhou, instead of wasting time working to obtain sweet potatoes, it is better to go to the mountains and pick enough sweet potatoes for the whole family in half a day."
Fei Zhong, You Hun, you say something, and I will tell you the facts in one sentence...
But in fact, there is no such thing as a good thing! The sweet potatoes grown in the mountains had long been collected by the soldiers of the merchants and transported to the frontier to exchange property with other races.
Although there are some around Chaoge, they are left to some poor people to satisfy their hunger, but there is no shortage of food.
But who doesn’t want to keep more food reserves? After all, there are at least three or four people in a family, and it is not a big problem to allocate one or two to work... To put it bluntly, it is just to deceive Jiang Ziya into not understanding!
"This... what should we do? Your Majesty has issued an order. When the princes come to visit, the three buildings must be completed... The cannon and the pot are fine, and the craftsmen in the court can complete them.
However, the project of Zhaixing Building is huge, and without tens of thousands of Guizhou heads, it is impossible to complete it on time! "
When Jiang Ziya heard what the two said, he became a little anxious.
It took a lot of effort to get the opportunity to get ahead, and he could join a big business court with a bright future. There was also the possibility of being promoted to immortality in the future. As a Qi practitioner, he never wanted to go back to that fortune-telling parlor again!
As for what Master said about helping Zhou Dynasty to destroy Shang... After knowing the methods of making sweet potatoes, potatoes and salt, in his eyes, the great Shang was almost as good as the emperor Shen Nong of the Earth. How could he take it to heart!
Becoming an immortal is his biggest obsession! He didn't finish it when he was on the mountain. Now he was down the mountain and had a chance to succeed. How could he give up?
Fei Zhong and You Hun secretly looked at each other, knowing that he had fallen into the jar... Fei Zhong pretended to sigh: "That's why I said that this matter is the most troublesome."
"Does Dr. Fei have a solution?"
Jiang Ziya asked impatiently.
"Yes...it's just to mobilize labor!"
"ah?!"
Jiang Ziya opened his eyes wide: "The king is talking about hiring..."
"First remove the laborers, and then double the food supply after the Star Reaching Tower is built! Anyway, the merchants are not short of food, and with the support of the Grand Master, there is no need to worry about this matter.
Although it is hard to be transferred to labor, in the end it can provide twice the food, and mixed with some grains, it will definitely calm the resentment of the Guizhou heads and seal their mouths. "
After listening to Fei Zhong's suggestion, Jiang Ziya hesitated: "This... if there is a commotion..."
"Don't worry, it's just Guizhou! As long as they don't starve to death or freeze to death, they will only be grateful and will never cause trouble."
Fei Zhong patted his chest and said with great confidence... Jiang Ziya thought about it again and again, considering his own future and the fate of the head of Guizhou, and finally nodded vigorously: "Just follow the doctor's advice!"
It has to be said that although Jiang Ziya is from the human race, he grew up in a wealthy family and had friends like Song Yiren... After that, he went to the mountains to practice Taoism. If he did not enter the mortal world, how could he have compassion for the common people and the people at the bottom?
In his eyes, transfers and hirings all mean food, but they are nothing more than compromises!
Ever since, Jiang Ziya, who was not secretive about world affairs, fell into Fei Zhong and You Hun's plan!
After receiving Jiang Ziya's affirmative reply, Fei Zhong and You Hun looked at each other and smiled slightly, it's a success! The next honey trap can be implemented!
............
On this day, after Jiang Ziya left the court, he first went to the Craftsman Hall in the palace to check the construction progress of the Pao Lao and the Hao Basin. After confirming that there was nothing to worry about, Shi Shiran came to the construction site of Zhaixinglou to check the progress...
Halfway through the journey, he was still in the palace... Suddenly, a woman next to him rushed out in panic and ran into his arms...
Looking down, he saw a woman with ice-skinned skin shivering in his arms... The little face lying on her back in his arms had two tears falling down, like a panicked little rabbit, showing all her tenderness and pity. Such an attitude, even Jiang Shang, an old man in his sixties, couldn't help but feel a little pity...
