Chapter 502

In May, the sun is hot in the sky.

The atmosphere of the capital is as lively as the weather!

From the court hall to the folk, it is lively.

The court is fighting a lawsuit again, while the people are watching the strange.

In fact, these two things, in the final analysis, are one thing, cement road.

Gu Jiu, one of them, provoked the clamor of the chaotang people, and the cement road that was born in the sky refreshed the people's understanding of the world in Beijing.

"Oh! This road can still be repaired like this! "

"It's smooth and smooth. The day before yesterday's rainstorm, I went to the cement road, and there was no mud on the shoe."

"Really? That's good. When the roads in the city are paved with cement, it's not so difficult to go out on rainy days. "

South Gate, official road.

The road is separated from the middle, half of which has been built into concrete. In a few days, it has been repaired for five or six miles. This is still delaying the construction period, so the construction is so slow.

The other half of the official road is the same as before, paved with yellow mud. On a rainy day, yellow mud is full of legs. In sunny days, once the horses and chariots have passed, the dust is flying and people can choke to death.

Why did the emperor go out of a palace and spread loess and water in advance?

The purpose of laying loess is to level the road surface and fill in all kinds of potholes on the road surface.

Sprinkle water, is to press down the floating soil, to avoid cars and horses walking, dust flying.

Think about it, the emperor in a piece of flying dust through, from time to time encountered a pit bump, that picture is too beautiful, dare not see.

Gu Jiu let the engineering team, not in a hurry, slowly built half of the cement road outside the south gate, right as a model road.

Because of the concrete road, the people in Beijing have recently added a hobby. If they have nothing to do, they will go out of nanchengmen and go back and forth to the cement road for several times.

It's solid, it's smooth, it's clean.

If the other half of the official roads were built into cement roads, the roads would be cleaner.

A carriage came and drove steadily on half of the cement road without any bumps.

The peddler with the burden will step on the cement road from the yellow mud road as soon as the carriage passes, bringing all kinds of dust by the way. Hey, this road is more comfortable than yellow mud road.

The peddler held his head high and his face thumped.

There are rural farmers carrying agricultural products to set up a stall in the big locust tree market outside the gate of Nancheng city.

They don't dare to step on the concrete pavement for fear of being damaged. Still walking the other half of the yellow mud official road.

"Fellow villagers, go up the road, take the cement road. The road is comfortable. "

The old man laughed and shook his head. He still insisted on walking on the muddy road. It's a strange thing to see. How valuable the cement road is, how can you walk casually.

The kids in Beijing are the most excited and call friends. They go back and forth along the cement road every day.

"The cement road has been built to ten mile Pavilion."

"According to the steward, if chaotang agrees, the road will be built to Luozhou next year."

"My God, how much will it cost to get to Los Angeles?"

"The steward said that when the road is officially built, a lot of people need to be recruited. Two meals a day, plus ten coppers. If anyone is willing to eat this bitter, they will go to the big Huaishu dam outside the south gate to sign up. If you are willing to learn technology, you can get higher wages. "

"Really?"

"The steward of Sihai road and Bridge firm said it himself, of course, there can be no fake."

"What kind of road and Bridge firm and what kind of thing are you talking about?"

"All roads and bridges are under the management of road and Bridge firms. Anyone who wants to sell goods can also go to the road and Bridge firm. "

"People have cement. What can we sell?"

"Selling meat, vegetables, snacks and ready-made clothes can sell anything. Those who build roads should follow the road and Bridge firm to build them all the time. Can't you buy something to eat? The clothes are broken. Can't I buy two decent clothes to wear? Are you not allowed to sell a new pair of shoes because they are worn out? "

"Is that so?"

"Haha, the big boy of the Li family runs out every day. I didn't expect to have a little more knowledge."

Li Dalang smiles. After laughing, I was worried.

The steward of Sihai road and Bridge firm gave him a chance to run hard.

If he can organize a road repair team of 30 people, let him be a small leader.

As long as we do a good job, we can sign a ten-year contract with him, and we can earn at least twenty-three taels a year. You can also buy at an internal price.

The work of Sihai commercial company is an excellent choice for those who can't walk the imperial examination without the talent of reading, and who are not willing to serve as soldiers.

Li Dalang is fighting for his future.

He talked to his neighbors and said that road construction was much better and what the future was like.

But I don't know, the neighborhood neighbors in the early years have taken corvee, built walls, built roads, dug ditches and opened mountains.

How hard it is to build roads, they have a clear door.

It's not something ordinary people can eat.In the early years, when the imperial court was unstable, it would be good to catch up with the corvee service at that time, to go out for 100 people, and to return to 50 or 60 people.

Those roads, rivers, border fortresses, are filled with the lives of ordinary people.

Now, every family in Beijing is doing a business. They are willing to take money to redeem corvee every year, but they are not willing to do it in person. Where can you be fooled by Li Dalang? Follow him to build roads.

Li Dalang spent a few days, and no one was willing to follow him to repair the road.

He was frustrated and depressed.

I can't see it. I gave him an idea.

"All the people in the city have a living, so naturally they don't want to go with you to build roads. If you go to the countryside, the more remote and poorer you are, you can bring in 300 people, not to mention 30 people. "

Li Dalang looked at his father eagerly, "can people believe me?"

"Stupid! In the capital area, who doesn't know the four seas business. Tonight, you live outside the city, get up in the middle of the night, and block people at the gate of Sihai meat and vegetable shop in the market of big locust tree. Those people from remote villages are familiar with them. They can help you to build roads with as many people as you need. "

Li Dalang was instructed to jump three feet high.

After packing, he went out of the city and opened a big shop to have a rest.

Li's mother asked his father, "what can you think of? Can Sihai business not think of it? Don't come to the end, and you'll be busy. "

Li's father said with a smile, "if you want to build a road, you can't find anyone. Even if it's the mud legs in the countryside, they will go there.".

I have thought about it for a few days, and I guess that the reason why Sihai commercial bank let the opportunity out is to give you a way out.

If Dalang can really take care of things after this, maybe he can do a small job in Sihai business. At least he knows a few words

"Sihai business is so good? And give people opportunities. "

"Well, you don't understand that. It's said that the cement road is going to be built in Luozhou. Sihai merchants started their business in the capital city. When they arrived in Luozhou, Qianlong couldn't beat the local villains. If they didn't bring more local people to Luozhou, they would be pinched by the local aristocrats in Luozhou. The road of painstaking and painstaking repair has become the wedding dress for others. "

"According to what you say, Sihai merchants want to attract people from the capital to Luozhou town?"

"I guess so."

Li Fu still has some insight. Of course, the actual operation is not as simple as he said.

A group of road repair workers, what kind of field can town.

The real characters in the town are naturally the local giants of Luozhou.

Gu Jiu recently spread more than 500 invitation cards in Beijing and Luozhou.

Many people in Luozhou are officials in the capital. They hold their own status and are unwilling to deal with commercial banks. But they didn't mind letting the family send someone to attend Gu Jiu's business tea party.

Considering that it would take ten or twenty days for those people to travel from Luozhou to the capital, Gu Jiu tentatively scheduled the tea party on the fifth day of June.

At that time, the quarrel in the imperial court should have come to an end.

In private, the family order of the Shaofu and the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu contacted officials of Luozhou origin to build momentum for the road.

Most of the officials outside Los Angeles are against road building.

In fact, they are not really against it.

The half built concrete model road outside the city was secretly visited by civil and military officials, and they had a good feeling in the carriage.

How about the road?

Good!

Very good!

Fast and steady. Once repaired, the time from Luozhou to Beijing can be shortened to five or six days.

Why oppose it?

Some people have crooked buttocks and opposed it for the sake of opposition.

Part of the problem is that they are not willing to build roads in Luozhou because of their competing interests. Why do you want cheap Los Angeles bastards.

Can't we go to Hedong, Hexi, or northwest? Dare you, we are all stepmothers. Is Luozhou born by my mother?

Therefore, whether chaotang should build a concrete road or not, or whether private people should pay for the road construction and set up a toll station, which makes people quarrel whether they should go to Luozhou to build roads.

These days, officials have a strong sense of region.

In fact, in modern society, officials also have a strong regional consciousness.

People with eyes can see the advantages of cement road.

Therefore, everyone wants to build a cement road from the capital to his hometown.

Even people from Jiangnan, Lingnan, southwest, and central and southern regions came to join in the fun.

They don't think about how far the capital is from their place, and how can they repair it in one breath.

However, it does not prevent us from soliciting these Southern officials to oppose the road from Beijing to Luozhou.

For this, they quarreled for ten or twenty days.

When the news reached the local government, many local officials were excited and wrote memorials, imploring to build a road from the capital to them.

In fact, these local officials have not yet made clear what the concrete road is.

They have the same idea. Since it is a good thing and can shorten the travel time, they should fight for it.It's not too big to watch.

Even if Wende was upset and wanted to punish a few people, it would not be their local officials.

Local officials are high in the sky and far away from home, so they are easy to be forgotten by the emperor. This is bad.

The advantage is that the risk of being an official is lower than that of Beijing official, and the income is higher than that of Beijing official.

If you miss a little on hand, it will be enough to support the family and save a sum of pension money.

If you are more ruthless, you can become a local official for a few years, and you will become rich. Lay a solid foundation for the family to become a powerful family one day.

From the capital to the local area, all because of road construction, noisy, too busy.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, wenderdy's ear was full of all kinds of buzz every day.

Seeing that it was about to be June, Gu Jiu's investment promotion and fund-raising tea party was going to be held soon. Wende Di coughed softly and immediately calmed down in the hall.

Wende said, "I know that you all want to build a road to your hometown. But I have to remind you that the Hubu has no money to build roads for you.

The road from Beijing to Luozhou is all funded by the people, so toll stations will be set up here. For all the expenses of road construction, the imperial court does not have to bear a penny, so it has the best road in the world. Can I object to such a good thing? Can you object?

If you want to build roads, it's not impossible. If anyone can provide hundreds of thousands of millions of money and grain, I can now approve the construction of a cement road from the capital to your hometown.

If you can't get it out of it, talk less nonsense. If you have the ability to persuade the people to invest in building a road to your hometown, I will be happy for you. "

Officials looked at each other.

Finally, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is not proper for people to invest in road construction and set up toll stations. It is also a disgrace to the court. "

Other officials echoed.

As a result, the problem returned to the original point, and began to argue about whether Sihai commercial banks are qualified to invest in road construction and set up toll stations.

Some people are willing to pay for road construction, but in fact, everyone is 100.

The only thing we don't agree with is to set up toll stations.

It's too ugly to eat at a toll gate.

Do you want to be so greedy?

Although no one has said it, everyone knows that Gu Jiu is the owner behind Sihai.

When everyone was tired of quarreling, Emperor Wende sneered and immediately let the courtiers fight.

Emperor Wende's face was smiling, but his words were ironic, and his words poked at his heart, "the face of the court? Hubu warehouse is so poor that mice run away. Does the court still have face to speak of?

Some people put out millions of money and grain to build roads for the imperial court. Shouldn't some toll stations be set up?

You guys, it's too ugly to eat. He told the horses to run and refused to feed them. According to your eating habits, this road will not be built in a hundred years. "

"Your Majesty, isn't the court respectable?"

It's important for people to take a sip of water on the cement road? Can the court be decent enough to eat and wear as clothes

"Your Majesty, how can you do this?"

How can you talk like a scoundrel without a face.

You are the son of heaven!

What about the system?

What about decency?

The son of heaven made such a philistine appearance that the face of Liu's ancestors was lost.

Wende Di didn't care at all. What he said was like a knife across everyone's cheek.

"Am I wrong? If you have a sense of decency, you can not eat or wear clothes. It is better to start from today, the court will no longer give civil and military officials a Wen or a grain of rice, and your shops can't be duty-free. You can go home and eat by yourself.

In any case, as long as there is a system, the side can be discarded. What kind of food, clothes, money and so on. How vulgar. All officials are of high moral character. If they can deal with food, clothing, money and food, they should be careful that they are out of order. "

Civil and military officials: MMP, how to deal with an emperor who turns over his face faster than a book, but also stinks and shameless?

Tired heart!

A mouthful of old blood almost vomited out.

"Your Majesty, Cang knows the etiquette. Clothing, food, housing and transportation are not antagonistic to the system. "

Emperor Wende said with a smile, "since it's not the opposite, why can't you love your wife? In your heart, you can't even hold a road. Can I expect you to do something else? "

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"You are not guilty. I am guilty. It's my incompetence. I'm so poor that I can't even get the money for road construction. "

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"You Aiqing, how can you be guilty? I will reward you for your consideration of the dignity of the court. If you come here, each of you will enjoy a sip of tea. "

"I dare not."

Where dare to drink water on Jinluan temple, in case of urgency?

One must reward, a group must refuse.Let's go, and the quarrel over road construction will be over.

Emperor Wende sighed, as if to say: you people, do not understand my heart.

Civil and military officials: they are not concubines.

Two days later, the court issued an official document to allow Sihai merchants to build a concrete road from the capital to Luozhou, and to set up a toll station every 50 Li.

With this paper document, it is equivalent to getting the road and Bridge license plate.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind.

As soon as the tea party is held and sufficient funds are raised, construction will begin.

Luozhou's great families and representatives of powerful people from all over the country have successively arrived in the capital.

We all stare at the tea party in early June, but we don't know that it has been delayed for more than half a year, involving the Cai family. The Tu village case 20 years ago has been sentenced.

At that time, the people who ordered the slaughter of the village and those who participated in it were all sentenced to beheading.

A thousand people, a thousand heads.

In addition to general Cai, several of his brothers were not spared. One was counted as one, and all of them were cracked.
