Chapter 361: Approaching the Imperial City
Chapter 361 Close to the Imperial City
The newly-married couple was reluctant for their husband to go to the southern border alone, so the wife secretly asked the soldier recruiting for the job, "Brother, can I go with me too?"
Women are not stronger than men, but some are used to rough jobs. Southern Xinjiang is currently lacking people. Even if they can't work, they are responsible for the logistics of the workers, cooking fires, arranging bases, growing vegetables around them, and opening a restaurant. Clothes shops are very good.
Especially denim fabrics are produced locally in Syria. Yu Suisheng has to build a large workshop, and he also needs a lot of women.
In addition to the local area in southern Xinjiang and Syria, Bai Wutong and their workshops also lacked a lot of labor.
The soldier said: "The female relatives can follow. There are also female relatives in the tent camp who need to be recruited, but the number of places is limited. After the registration is completed, the collection will not be collected. However, the southern border will also build fabric workshops, instant noodle workshops, and candy. The workshop... just go and wait for a while, as long as you work hard, you can become an iron rice bowl for the imperial court."
When the woman heard that there were still so many jobs, she immediately moved to follow her husband.
Another woman asked again: "Then can we live in a tent with my husband?"
The soldier explained in detail, "The working locations are different, so husband and wife can't share a tent."
"But both of them have days off. If they want to get together, it's impossible not to see each other in the southern Xinjiang."
"But one thing to note is that the tent specifications are for four people. If you want to live alone, you need to pay extra money to rent a tent."
When they heard that they wanted money, the women's expressions sank, and the soldiers said that they could live in separate tents for 100 yuan a month, and everyone felt at ease again.
If both husband and wife go to work, they will have at least four taels of silver a month, which is a small amount of money.
Male workers and female workers compete fiercely in the local area. Several cities near the southern border have recruited tens of thousands of laborers at once, and there is a tendency to report more and more.
You must know that at the beginning, Emperor Ling Hui used a tael of silver to drive out the homeless people who settled down, as well as the families of officials who were exiled from the previous dynasty. The total number did not exceed 100,000.
In just a few days, so many laborers have been recruited, making the local magistrate anxious.
Yu Suisheng took all the laborers away, what if they were local laborers, no land was planted, and no food was paid!
The local government stopped people and refused to let them sign up.
Emperor Ling Hui announced at that time that as long as the people who took the initiative to settle in the southern Xinjiang, the local government not only had to take the initiative to release them, but also gave them money.
After Yu Suisheng and the local government broke up, finally, the local government was afraid that Emperor Ling Hui would settle the bill, and that this was the new method that Emperor Ling Hui came up with to move the people, so he could only agree with tears.
To go to work, you still have to settle in the southern border. Many people hesitate again, but thinking about the two mu of thin fields at home, they are hungry for half a year after paying the grain tax. Many single households who have separated their families do not hesitate to pack up , ready and the soldiers are gone.
Anyway, there are people in the family's ancestral graves who worship, and when they earn money, they will be able to honor their ancestors and return home in brocade clothes.
In some places, the regulations for treating the people were too harsh. Yu Suisheng went to recruit workers and almost emptied most of the city.
The local officials were not angry and wanted to report to the court, but they were afraid that the emperor would send someone down to investigate the truth about why the people were rushing to leave, so they shrank back.
Some officials reported it, but it was a long way from the imperial city, and before the news spread, people had already followed Yu Suisheng.
Yu Suisheng gathered a full 300,000 people in one month, equivalent to a city of Beiyun.
With so many people, he began to worry about whether he could arrange people properly, until Sheng Huai announced that the more people the better, Yu Suisheng let go of his courage and continued to recruit people.
Anyway, they have no shortage of money!
Yu Suisheng arranged for the people to travel, mobilized food to purchase all kinds of materials needed in the southern Xinjiang, and also surveyed the local market, estimated the price of seafood, the price of denim, etc. He was so busy that he didn't touch the ground and almost flew.
However, this feeling of doing things without flinching, still made a deep memory in his life.
Bai Wutong asked Sheng Huaixuan about the labor force. Sheng Huaixuan immediately smiled and said, "The people have reached the Syrian grazing land."
"And there are so many people that the mining of jade and oil is too saturated, and they are coming to us in large numbers."
"If these people come, the labor force in Xiaoyao City will not only be fully sufficient, but also form a consumer market."
"Now people who are missing in various positions can also be quickly filled. The people who have learned various technical operations in the workshop before can take them to work hard together."
Bai Wutong's eyes lit up, "How many people are there?"
Sheng Huai Xuan paused, then smiled mysteriously: "Currently there are 350,000 people."
350,000 plus their 200,000 people, that is 550,000 people, plus the local residents in the southern border, there are more than 200,000 people, almost 800,000 people.
Bai Wutong was shocked. The total number of Ling Kingdom's imperial city was only 800,000 people. They were approaching the imperial city in one breath.
Moreover, this is still the present, which means that there are still a steady stream of people rushing over.
Bai Wutong knew that the monthly money he gave was high, but he never expected that the attraction would be so great.
If Emperor Ling Hui knew about it, he would not have died.
The whole family moved to southern Xinjiang, and Ling Hui was given a tael of silver. With the comparison, the people didn't know how stingy they were when they scold him.
Bai Wutong couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of the picture after Emperor Ling Hui learned about it.
But there are too many people, and Xiaoyao City can't bear the planning of more than one million people for a while.
Have to take it slow.
Bai Wutong told Sheng Huaixuan to stop recruiting people. Now that there are enough people, he ordered a thousand people to be recruited to learn the techniques of building roads.
Ma Road has been implemented in all dynasties, and glutinous rice and clay are used to make it stronger.
In the city, a lot of blue bricks are used to pave the road to make the road more clean and bright.
But they had already mastered how to make cement. As soon as Sheng Huaixuan heard that Bai Wutong wanted to build the road, he planned to give it a direct order.
Bai Wutong stopped him and wanted to explain to them the correct way to repair the road.
Ordinary cement roads really only need cement and clods and stones.
But the advanced version of the cement road, at least pouring reinforced concrete, can keep it firm for more than a few years.
Because in this world, large trucks have not yet appeared, the life of concrete roads made of reinforced concrete may be longer, and there should be no problem without repairing for more than ten years.
In addition to the above two versions of the road, there is also the ultimate evolution version of the asphalt road, which is not only strong, but also more beautiful than Ge You's brain.
The most important thing is that it has good bearing capacity and full elasticity, which can relieve the friction of the vehicle and feel softer when walking.
More than 96% of modern highways are asphalt roads, in order to avoid excessive speed and accidents. The advantages of asphalt roads can greatly increase the safety of vehicles.
Although they don’t have cars, and the horse-drawn carriages aren’t too fast, when oil is mined, the excess materials are better used to make asphalt and pave the asphalt roads instead of polluting the surrounding environment.
thanks for your support! It's about to explode! ! hold onto!
