The next day.
Along the coast, tents stretching for miles began to be dismantled.
A large number of slaves were shackled, most of them were wooden shackles, and only a small part were iron shackles.
"Chengsi, why do all the slaves here wear wooden shackles? Are they safe?"
Miao Chengsi said depressedly, "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about this. Wooden shackles are actually not very easy to use. There are too many slaves. If iron is used, it will consume too much, and it will be too heavy to escort the prisoners. I am afraid that they will consume it." Can’t live.”
Yang Gan frowned and said, "You can ask Shi Yuanji to go to the foundry to place an order. They are all made of wood and need repair. It is better to just use steel."
Miao Chengsi smiled bitterly and said, "Siye went to talk to us, but our slaves are too large, more than 800,000, and the foundry does not agree."
Yang Qian quickly took out his mobile phone and calculated it. In fact, it was okay, it only used 4,000 tons of steel.
Now that the foundry is not small, this is easy, but it still leaves the foundry to consider and say many things by itself, which in turn creates a gap between the two departments.
Yang Gan looked at the time and saw that it was about the same, but there was no movement.
Dams have been built on the other side of the water source to guide the water to other places, otherwise how to build canals.
Only after the dam is destroyed can the lake water flow down.
At this time, several carriages drove over, and a dozen craftsmen jumped out of them.
They came to Yang Gan and saw him one after another.
"I've met Mr. Wu An."
Yang Gan waved his hand and said, "No need to be too polite, just find some taller stones nearby and make them into stone tablets to show encouragement."
"promise!"
Under the leadership of their men, the masons negotiated with Shui Hu and Shi Huacai.
Not long after, Shuihu came over and said.
"Your Majesty, are you going to erect an inscription?"
Yang Gan nodded, "I wanted to name a ditch after you and Shi Huacai."
"Who knew, your project is so big, and if it can be completed, it is not due to you alone. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to name it after you and Shi Huacai."
"Then according to your Majesty's wishes?" Shuihu was not Tiehanhan. He was born into a minor nobleman when he was in Shangguo.
He knows better than a mud-legged person how to get along in front of powerful people.
Yang Qian thought for a while and smiled, "It's actually very simple. Just make a list of formulas, such as hosting, working, and supervising."
"The hosts are you and Shi Huacai."
"If you are working, write down all the plumbers under you."
"As for the supervisor, let's include Miao Chengsi, the slave priest."
Shuihu's eyes suddenly revealed a look of ecstasy. This is a craftsman who can leave a name in history. How many craftsmen can leave a name in history?
Suddenly he paused, frowned and said, "Your Majesty? Where is your name?"
"My name? Whatever you want."
Yang Gan said nonchalantly, and a large number of slaves walked away from him.
There were slaves stretching for more than ten miles. Without shackles, it would be impossible for them to work outside.
Yang Qian observed boredly. It was okay if he didn't look at it, but when he looked at it, he found something was wrong.
Some slaves' eyes were filled with numbness, but some slaves' eyes had visceral hatred.
Yang Gan frowned, hatred was inevitable, but this kind of bone-cutting hatred might cause serious trouble.
As the actual person in power of Yuntong County, one word can determine the life and death of more than 800,000 slaves.
Yang Gan is not afraid of slaves, but once trouble occurs, it will be very troublesome.
Yang Gan hates trouble. As his power increases, he now hates things that are beyond his control.
After getting to know Shui Hu, I realized that almost all of these gnashing teeth had friends and relatives who died at the hands of themselves and others.
Yang Qian opened his mouth as he kept thinking about the problem in his mind.
"At the bottom, engrave the names of ten Huns,
and the number of slave deaths. "
Shui Hu was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, this, this is not appropriate. Not only are we dissatisfied, I am afraid that even the emperor will criticize you."
Yang Gan shook his head. A plumber is a plumber, even if his family was from a small noble family and his brain was not very good.
"Yu'er, what are my arrangements?"
Xiao Yu, who was standing next to him, frowned, "Master, it's really not convenient to write the name of a Huns."
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, only Zhen Luo frowned.
"Miss Zhen, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Zhen Luo's hesitation, Yang Qian couldn't help but asked curiously.
Zhen Luo frowned and said, "I see that Your Majesty is not a willful person. I guess you have your own thoughts?"
Yang Gan nodded and pointed at the slave walking in front of him.
"Look, most people are numb. It doesn't matter to us, but some people have hatred in their eyes."
"If you work with hatred, I'm afraid you will tamper with the project. What if, I mean what if, there are some important places, if you give me a little stumbling block, then if something happens in the future, it will be a disaster. What a disaster.”
Everyone was startled and looked at the walking slaves.
Xiao Yu didn't expect it just now, but when Yang Qian put it on, he immediately thought of something.
Xiao Yu asked, "Your Majesty, are there any quota requirements?"
Yang Gan nodded appreciatively.
"These ten people have three things. First, they can speak Chinese characters. Second, they have never killed Chinese people. Third, they have little prestige among slave priests. It is best to be marginalized people. Fourth, they work very well. Work hard."
"And for ten people, meat will be added to every meal from now on as a sign of encouragement."
"Also, it is engraved on it that because of the death of 1,500 slaves caused by the landslide, their relatives can eat a good meal every seven days. If there are no relatives, then this reward can be given to his friends."
After hearing these conditions, everyone suddenly realized.
Xiao Yu showed a shocked expression, what a clever way to soothe him.
At this time, Miao Chengsi looked at Yang Qian with an embarrassed expression while holding a notebook and charcoal pen.
"Jun, Your Majesty..."
In all bureaucracies or the military in Yuntong, whenever the superior officer has an order, it is best to write it down with a pen.
Yang Qian firmly believes that a good memory is worse than a bad writing, although there is no explicit rule.
But when Yang Gan gave instructions, the officials and generals below would take notes and take notes.
With the power of example, lower-level officials and generals will also follow suit.
Yang Gan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, I can't write a few words."
Yang Qian snatched Miao Chengsi's notebook, and after finishing writing, threw it to him, hating that iron could not make steel.
"You are also an inspector. Didn't you learn to read in the army?"
Miao Chengsi rubbed his head in embarrassment, "It's humble, humble. I'm really not very proficient in reading and writing."
The corners of Yang Qian's mouth twitched fiercely.
As expected of an ancient man, he can't read or write, but his speech is still so refined.
If you just say that you are a scumbag, that's the end of it.
Yang Gan patted his shoulder and encouraged him.
"There is no need for you to write poems. You only need to be able to read and write. If you are just an inspector, there will be more and more slaves in the future. How can you manage these people if you don't know anything? I have confidence in you. Take care of yourself. study."
After being praised by Yang Qian, Miao Chengsi immediately felt as if he had been beaten to death, and said excitedly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard in this humble position."
As Yang Gan's order was passed down, the masons began to look for more suitable stones and prepared to make the stone tablet.
Miao Chengsi went to select the qualified Xiongnu, Jie and Yue clan people.
Not only did they screen, but they also let the soldiers spread the word among the slaves.
"Hey, have you heard? Ten of us will choose ten people to have their names engraved on stone tablets to praise our achievements.
. "
"Tch, what's the use of this? Everyone in the Central Plains deserves to die. It's best if they all die."
"Hmph, whenever you let me out, I will definitely kill a hundred Central Plains people."
"Hahaha, what do you know? People who can stand on the monument can eat meat every day."
"You are behind the times. What kind of news is this? The 1,500 people who died can also be included in the inscriptions. I heard that their relatives or friends can eat one meal of meat every seven days."
When it comes to meat.
These slaves all felt their mouths became dry.
Several slaves huddled in the corner listened attentively. When they heard someone constantly cursing, they secretly took note of these people.
When the report comes up, the Slave Dean will naturally handle it.
These snitching slaves don’t know what their superiors will do.
All they knew was that within a few days after reporting the matter, they would be able to have a hearty meal, and if they were lucky, they might even be able to play with women.
And these reported slaves will be recorded, if this person is heard from different female agents.
Then the inspector will assign this person to some dangerous places, and if he dies, he will die, and there is no need to do it himself.
Yang Qian, who has been in a position of power for a long time, has gradually become accustomed to playing tricks.
In his view, being in power is nothing more than holding some appointments, military power, money, and food in one's own hands.
With these things in place, the way to control one's subordinates is nothing more than loyalty and alleviating conflicts.
How to nip some conflicts in the cradle is what Yang Qian often has to do.
Why, to eliminate the family, the monopoly of the family is nothing more than that they occupy too many resources.
Except for yourself, it is really not safe for the original stocks to be in the hands of one person. It is better to distribute them to a dozen people, or even dozens or hundreds of people, and let them make trouble and fight, as long as the direction is right.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound sounded.
There is a white line running across the river on the horizon, and accompanied by a rumbling sound, like thunder rolling on the horizon, the tide is coming from far away and approaching quickly.
"Rumble~~~!"
Just like a group of white swans lined up in a straight line, thousands of swans are moving and flying towards them with fluttering wings.
The tide surged forward, and the sound became louder and louder. In an instant, the peak of the tide rushed towards us, rising up a three or four-meter-high water wall, standing upright on the river. The waves were violent, spraying beads and splashing jade, like thousands of horses galloping. .
In an instant, everyone retreated one after another, and some Xuanjia soldiers even surrounded Yang Gan and retreated.
"Wow, it's so spectacular."
Yang Qian couldn't help but feel excited.
Water tigers, Shi Huacai and other water workers had tears in their eyes.
"There's water!"
"Hahaha, our Yuntong County will no longer have food shortages."
In the eyes of ordinary people, a canal with such a volume of water represents endless food.
A large number of waterwheels were erected beside the canal, and the water was scooped into the canals prepared in advance through the tipping buckets of the waterwheels.
A large amount of water is transported by canals and dispersed into different fields to nourish food.
