Chapter 1831 Investigation
Bai Yixiu inspected it and felt that the construction could be started.
Because this is his private construction road, the treasury will not give a penny or provide manpower.
Bai Yi paid for this road out of his own pocket and hired ordinary people to build the road. Fortunately, the raw materials do not require money.
After returning from outside the city in the evening, Bai Yixiu began to design the road.
The whole process is fifty-three, and some slopes in the middle need to be changed and should be repaired soon.
So Bai Yixiu asked the king of the mansion, Zhang, to go outside to help him recruit people to build roads.
"Prince, building roads is a matter of money. Although there is money in our mansion, it costs a lot of money to spend on just one road." The King of Kings hesitated, worried that it was the prince's hot-headedness and regretted it later, and it was the fault of their servants.
Bai Yixiu said, "Take a few people to the village along the way to recruit people. The middle-aged man costs thirty cents a day, and recruits 300 people first! This is my own private study.
Although I have reported it to my father, the treasury will not allocate a tael of silver. Therefore, you must use the silver in the royal palace to be practical and cannot exploit those hired people. Otherwise, the king's path will be slandered by the censors before it is repaired!"
When the eldest son of the king saw that Bai Yixiu had made up his mind, he began to do this with the request written by Bai Yixiu on paper.
There are three villages along the way, and the principle of proximity is adopted. One village recruits 100 middle-aged men, and then divides them into three sections. Start digging the foundation on the planned route, and then smashing them with stones.
It is summer now, not the busy farming time. Although the weather is very hot, there are a lot of surplus young laborers.
They usually go to work in the city or work as short-term workers for others, and they can earn at most a dozen cents a day.
Now the An Prince's Mansion is bidding, asking them to build roads for 30 cents a day.
After hearing this, these people were very surprised and half-believed and half-doubted. After working for a day, they received the money.
As long as you have money, these men are certainly willing to work.
In order to prevent the foundation from being damaged by rain in summer, Bai Yixiu specially contacted the Imperial Heaven Supervision to observe the weather.
Take the method of digging the ground and paving the road on the other hand, scientifically coordinate and maximize efficiency.
A layer of stone was sprinkled on the dug roadbed, and then the cement mixed with sand was mixed with water, and then the stones were directly spread on them, and smoothed them with long wood.
When the road surface slowly hardens, a layer of straw is covered with it, and other things are covered to prevent the sun from being too hot and cracking.
The villagers often go out to perform labor service and build roads frequently, but they have never seen such a way to build roads.
I am very curious, and I am also looking forward to what excellence is like on this road!
Because it is summer and the temperature is high, the road surface dries very quickly. It only takes a day to finish the surface.
Some people tried to step on it, but there were only footprints, only footprints, and there was no pit at all.
This section of the way to Tangshan is under construction, which naturally attracted the attention of many forces in the capital.
Now is not the time to perform labor service, and some people are actually recruiting people to work. After seeing this, these censors were eager to try and want to report.
But they also have to investigate before they make a memorial. If they make a memorial without real evidence, they will be punished.
So the old censors of the Censorate sent people to investigate on the way to Tangshan.
It doesn’t matter if this investigation is made, I actually saw people who are building roads collecting money!
