Kochi Prefecture also kindly tried to persuade her, and Dongnuan was quite polite about this. She nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I know this."
Kochi Prefecture was about to say more when he heard Dong Nuan quickly continue: "But, I have money!"
Kochi Prefecture:?!!
Okay, I almost forgot. This person is a princess in the capital. I heard that he has quite a lot of business skills. He must have some wealth.
But building roads is a long-term task, not only in Jingxian County, but also in the villages. This is a big project, and it will not be completed in a short time, right?
I think back then, Kochi Prefecture had this kind of idea. Unfortunately, he had no money at that time, so he couldn't do much repairs, so he could only do simple repairs every year.
When Dong Nuan said he wanted to build roads, he really wasn't just talking about it.
In the next half month, she and Hanjianglou began to plan the road construction situation.
The first county to be repaired must be Jingxian County. After all, the county seat is a prestige city, so it must be repaired first.
The road from the county town to the capital is smoother, and the roads to the villages are smoother, making it easier for everyone to walk and transport.
"Build this one first. No matter what, this is an official road. Compared with other official roads, this one is not very popular." After discussing with Hanjiang Tower, Dong Nuan directly decided on one of them.
.
There is more than one road from Jingxian County to Fucheng, but one is an official road. Unfortunately, Jingxian County is poor and has no money to maintain it.
Therefore, the official way looks like the local way.
Just looking at this road, no one has any in-depth thoughts.
Therefore, you must repair it!
Kochi Prefecture didn't even know that he was supposed to return to his hometown in mid-June, but why he stayed there until mid-July.
And it also means to stay.
The problem is that the county magistrate's salary is still given to him, and Hanjiang Tower does not compete with him for it.
In mid-July, the preliminary route map had been planned, and the next step was to prepare rocks, materials, and equipment.
Dong Nuan didn't think about it and moved forward bit by bit.
Since it needs to be repaired, it must be done in one step.
She has spent all her money, so there is no need to try it step by step.
Therefore, we directly paved the mountain road and put in cement.
Dong Nuan has long been familiar with the stuff from the Ministry of Industry.
The only problem now is raw materials and fuel.
In this regard, Dong Nuan has not been in vain in the past month. Every village in Jing County is full of treasures.
Dong Nuan discovered two rolling coal mines in a place called Huiguang Village under Jingxian County!
This surprised Dong Nuan, but it was also surprising enough.
Therefore, the final cement manufacturing place was built directly in Huiguang Village.
The villagers in Huiguang didn't even know what happened. They only knew that in mid-July, the newly appointed magistrate suddenly came over and posted a notice: Recruiting people.
Twenty-five cents per person per day, and two multi-grain steamed buns for lunch.
This price is actually a good deal for a remote mountain village.
There are not many wealthy households in the nearby villages. For a few of them, the cost of hiring long-term workers is only about 16 cents. There are two stingy masters who only pay 14 cents to do whatever they like.
For villagers who have no extra money, fourteen cents is still money, so just do it.
Now that Dongnuan has suddenly improved their treatment, the villagers' first reaction was...
"Impossible. Who would be so kind? Maybe he just lied to us, so he won't go!"
"That's right, then the big boss asks us to work and then doesn't pay us, how dare we make trouble?"
"Then who dares? No, no, no!"
…
Kochi County came with him to inspect the situation. After hearing the comments from some villagers, he was a little embarrassed.
When he was in office, he never did such a thing.
But when the late emperor was on the throne, a prefect came and did this kind of thing.
Of course, after His Majesty ascended the throne, the prefect was immediately replaced by prefect Xu, who did not carry out any major construction projects.
However, the people have been bitten by snakes, and now they are extremely afraid.
Therefore, no one dares to come.
Dong Nuan is not in a hurry, the villagers are not coming, and she still has people under her, but if it doesn't work, there are still government servants.
Four government officials:?
No, there are only four of us, please cherish it, maybe one day there will be three left!
Dongnuan needs to be mined first, and then the equipment, kilns, and experiments must be built to see its final feasibility.
Every link requires people, especially mining, which requires a lot of manpower.
No villagers came in the first two days, so the people from Dongnuan had to help themselves, and then the four government officials.
The government officials don't want to work, but they can still get a little salary every month from the county government office, no matter how much or not, it can still be considered a living.
So, just do it first and wait until you can’t hold on.
Dong Nuan must keep his word, give money when he says, and give steamed buns when he says.
All this was happening at the foot of the mountain behind the village, so some people had nothing to do and ran to watch.
Then I discovered that it was really given.
"No, their government officials must give it to them, otherwise there will be trouble."
"Yes, Mr. Gao is still here. Maybe Mr. Gao let me go."
"No, let's take another look. We can't be fooled. We haven't finished the work at home yet!"
…
The people watched for three more days, and then someone rebelled.
There are always some people whose family conditions are not good, who are greedy for the copper coins, and then they can't hold on and want to give it a try.
There are two things like this.
By the time the onlookers realized something was wrong, four traitors had appeared in their village (...).
The traitors not only worked, ate steamed buns with grains, and received money.
"There are so many copper coins, more than twenty of them, it's really hot to touch!"
"That's right, look at it, look at it."
"My baby can get some extra clothes this year. It's not easy."
…
The villagers who got the money were very happy and even promoted it vigorously after returning home.
"The new lord, keep your word and give me the money. The lord and his wife have a smiling face and you are a good person at first glance. Go, go."
"Yeah, go ahead and believe it once you get the money. At worst, it will be a day's work in vain."
"It's better than having someone hold your head and let you do it."
…
In some cases, once a traitor appears in the crowd, everyone's sense of belief will be shaken.
So, soon, the remaining unsteady villagers also joined in.
Even some villagers from neighboring villages who didn’t have much farmland and didn’t have much farm work came to ask if they could do it if they weren’t from this village.
"Of course, you can come if you want to." Shi Qing is now fully responsible for this matter, and Dong Nuan doesn't need to say anything, he just stood up.
Some women looked at it and couldn't help but think about it, especially when they saw several young girls running around Shi Qing. Finally they couldn't help but come over and ask: "That
, can women also come and do it?"
