If other people had to carry out large-scale construction as soon as they were unified, officials with a little conscience would advise them to be considerate of the people's strength. But if it was Chen Xi's construction method, the people of Yongzhou would probably warmly welcome Chen Xi's renovation of Chang'an City.
After all, if you go to build the city wall during the off-season, you will get paid and take care of the food. Even if this kind of work does not pay too much, it is much better than idleness at home.
What's more, over time, you can make a lot of money. If there were still doubts about this aspect before, but since Zhong Yao deceived Li Jue and said, "Common people, you can lure them for profit," and then Li Jue was deceived.
In addition to threats, the people of Yongliang were tied together to build Yongliang.
Later, when they had money and food, they didn't care about it. After Li Jue paid all those people back then with a wave of his hand, the people became aware of this kind of working for the government and getting paid. Later, when Cao Cao
After taking over Yongliang, Xun Yu and Liu Ba repeatedly strengthened their awareness in this regard.
After such a long period of time, the country's credibility has been re-established, and people also feel that working for the country is more reliable than working for private individuals.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Just work for the country. The money given by the country is very convenient. As long as you come to ask for money, it will be paid to you on the spot. It doesn’t matter whether you work for a day or two, or a month or two.
I paid last month just a few days ago. As long as you say you quit and want money, just give it to me.
For this reason, when Liu Ba was building water networks, dams, roads, and fortresses in Yongzhou, as long as he worked hard, many people would come to participate. After all, he relied on the stability of the country.
Naturally, even if it were Liu Ba's job to build a new city, as long as he was given enough money, he could still build it vigorously. As for the so-called compassion for the people, I'm sorry, until now, people like Lu Su and Liu Ba have already done it.
I won’t say it anymore, people’s power is really not for sympathy.
After understanding the charm of money and subjective initiative, this group of people have clearly understood that when it is generally said that you need to show compassion for the people, it is actually just that you have not given enough money.
If the staff says they don't want to do it, nine times out of ten it's because they haven't been given enough money. Likewise, if they don't care about the people's power and the people are about to rebel, nine out of ten people don't have enough money and food.
To the extent that Liu Ba and Chen Xi are doing now, in the past, they were definitely typical examples of dog officials who were completely indifferent to the people's power and forced the people to rebel.
In the past, when civilians were employed in construction projects, they worked six hours a day, let alone eight hours a day. The work was neither as good nor as fast as it is now. It also needed people to watch, and might cause trouble.
Now, on a piece-by-piece basis, Liu Ba has never seen a few people build a wall that long in one day. As a result, since using area and quality assessment, he can recruit such geniuses every time he recruits people. Speaking of which, he used to be a farmer.
Were these people dead by then?
After discovering this, Liu Ba deeply understood the human nature hidden in the bones, that is, working for others makes life easy, but working for oneself makes him sleepless.
From then on, Liu Ba even began to study how to transform the responsibilities of civilian husbands, who had little initiative, into fixed taxes, and then cancel them.
However, because the number and scale involved were so large, Liu Ba did not dare to take action. On the contrary, Chen Xi had long abandoned this inefficient way of working.
Not long after defeating Yuan Shao, Chen Xi changed the regulations on civil servants and labor. By simply dividing the workload into a simple workload, Chen Xi directly canceled the labor time that was originally calculated on a monthly basis and changed it to completing a certain job.
As for what the work is, it is actually the same work that the original peasants need to do. However, after Chen Xi sent the planners to divide it carefully, it is equally divided into the hands of the civilian laborers. As long as it is completed, you can go back. If you are willing to continue doing it,
, you will be paid according to your work efficiency.
Needless to say, the rest of the work was not completed until the end of the normal labor period. The work that still needed to be done by the next group of laborers was completed before the end of the construction period.
By the way, you don’t need to send people to guard you. You only need to find a few foremen. Then Chen Xi handed a report to Li You and ridiculed Li You. He did the work he didn’t want to do, worked together as a labor force, etc. It was normal.
very.
"Chang'an City is the way to go. I have a budget for building the city. Just take your time." Seeing that no one objected, Chen Xi said decisively. There is really nothing to say about this. At least it must be built for future generations.
A large imperial capital like the Dynasty.
"Next is this one." Lu Su picked up a large scroll from one side, opened it, and handed it to Li You on the other side. Then a huge map of the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty appeared.
"This is?" Cao Cao looked at the cities marked on the map, and then at the lines of different colors outlined on the cities. After realizing it in a daze, Cao Cao looked shocked.
As for Zhou Yu, Xun Yu and others who understood what these things meant when they saw this map and the intertwined lines on these cities, they all looked solemn.
"This is the optimal solution I came up with based on the terrain of the Central Plains and the layout of cities in various places." Sun Qian stood up and pointed at the map and said, "These lines of different colors represent roads of different specifications."
For such a thing, Zhao Shuang almost died. There are more than a hundred counties, not to mention others. The counties and cities in these counties must be connected, and the mountains and rivers on the map must be involved. In order to calculate such a
An optimal solution, that is, the minimum consumption under the most reasonable circumstances, Zhao Shuang is still lying in Yecheng.
This guy is a mathematician with a famous name in history. After finishing this calculation, he felt like he was burning out. This shows how much calculation this thing requires.
Of course, what's more important is that after Zhao Shuang perfected the optimal construction method involving more than a hundred points, Sun Qian took the things away and patted him on the shoulder, indicating that the next step would be to optimize the county roads within each state.
The solution is also calculated.
Zhao Shuang just lay down. According to Zhao Shuang, it would take at least two years to calculate it. Sun Qian said it didn't matter. He had enough time and could use his experience to make troubles at the beginning. Anyway, there is no way to do this.
It cannot be completed in fifty years.
By the way, he also told Zhao Shuang that finishing the calculation as soon as possible would be good for the country and the people under his rule. Therefore, Zhao Shuang, who is lying on the bed now, is tearfully calculating the optimal solution after the county roads are connected in all the counties in the Central Plains. He has just barely started it now.
.
Looking at the colorful lines on the map, everyone on the field who saw this thing for the first time took a deep breath. According to this plan, how many years will it take to build it?
"Where are Jiangling, Jiujiang, and the Yellow River..." Zhou Yu's eyelids twitched and he said, "Is it really necessary to build bridges?"
"Well, with the experience of the Yellow River Bridge, I have personally investigated several other places. Although it is difficult, it is not that difficult compared to the difficulty here." Sun Qian pointed to the southwest location and said.
"I'm building a road here." Yuan Shu said in confusion.
"It's better not to develop your skills. Just practice in the plains of central Sichuan. You can't cultivate in the mountains and valleys behind." Chen Xi looked at Yuan Shu with disdain and said.
"I have leveled the mountain, and building roads is no longer enough." Yuan Shu said with a dark face.
"Gongyou, please give me some useful information for the general." Chen Xi said angrily. Yuan Shu sometimes just doesn't have any eyesight.
Sun Qian smiled wryly and introduced the high mountain canyon in the Hengduan Mountains. It's really not something you can fill up by breaking off the top of the mountain. There is still water there, and the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, making it very troublesome.
"Because we must go to the southwest and face Kushan, the roads here must be repaired. If not repaired, it will take several months for the army to pass. And if we build the road around the mountain, the cost is not to mention, because it is The winding and snake shape can only shorten the time by half, so what we mean is to enable this..." Sun Qian silently took out a physical diagram.
"This is..." Liu Zhang said with a surprised look on his face.
"It's a bridge that leads directly from one mountain to another." Sun Qian said calmly, "The technical difficulty is very high, but as long as it can be completed, the time can be shortened to the sky. Even if it is a pure cavalry starting from Chang'an, They can all reach the battlefield within a month."
Cao Cao and others were already shocked by Sun Qian's idea at this time. Although this method was exaggerated, it did have great execution potential. After all, Sun Qian had already completed the Yellow River Bridge. In terms of technical difficulty, this may not be as good as previous difficulties.
"It's just that if it is built like this, how many years will it take to complete it? In fact, I am afraid that not all the main roads have been completed under Liu Taiwei's rule." Zhou Yu frowned and said, "What's more, according to this layout, I’m afraid even the villages need to be connected to roads.”
"There is no doubt about this, that's what I think." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Let all villages have roads, let materials and information circulate, and it will no longer be a closed and independent society, but a closed and independent society." as a whole."
Liu Ba narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Others couldn't understand what it meant, but he could understand it. This is the so-called integration, and the basis of regional economic integration, in addition to upper-level political issues, is more about commodities. The liquidity of capital, labor services, etc.
In the past, various regions in the Central Plains were relatively isolated. At the level of the common people, they might never leave the place where they were born for hundreds of miles, and there was very little communication.
Chen Xi has now made it clear that he wants to achieve this goal. Although it is not obvious yet, in the future, various regions may have a division of labor with different priorities. In the end, relying on this division of labor, for the sake of more benefits, he will force those who may have a split heart in the future. The upper level has formed a fairly stable group, and the basis for this lies in these roads.
Without these roads, how can we transport cheaper goods from other states to this state at an extremely fast speed, and how can we stop this state from voluntarily developing this industry locally?
