If you want to build a smooth road, the current method is to dig out rocks and make them into stone bricks to build roads. However, digging out rocks is too labor-intensive and time-consuming.
He had to find a way to replace it, so Xu Qing thought about cement.
As a man who wrote historical novels part-time in his previous life and has personally experienced the ridiculous thing of time traveling in this life, he is very clear about what Qi Shui does.
Under the current conditions, it is not a problem to build a cement workshop.
So Xu Qing waved his hand and generously approved the funds.
Thanks to the first pot of gold accumulated while robbing bandits, otherwise I would have to pay for it myself.
Not only do we need to build roads, but we also need to build water conservancy facilities. We also need to take care of facilities such as docks, and the construction of canals must not be left behind.
Not enough manpower?
His Majesty's palace, the prince's palace, and another prince's ten-inch mansion should be put away first. It's not like they have no place to live, and their manpower is free to build roads and water conservancy projects.
While the road was being built, the work of suppressing bandits did not stop.
The spectacular phenomenon of directly dispatching the most elite troops of Chu State to suppress bandits is not something that can be seen all the time.
Now that Xu Qing has just stabilized, he has begun to build infrastructure, and the numerous bandits in Weizhou provide wages and food for the workers who work hard to build infrastructure.
This forms a virtuous cycle.
When the banditry in Weizhou is lifted, these infrastructures should be built.
Cement is surprisingly easy to use. When mixed with cobblestones, the road paved is not only smooth and strong, but also very easy to maintain.
Of course, the bandits on the mountain have very limited money and cannot last long, so they must find new sources of funds.
Fortunately, there are people who do this.
While Xu Qing was engaged in infrastructure construction, Su Jiyuan was also handing over work with the state government and the Weizhou governor.
The governor of Weizhou here had just finished handing over the work and was about to take office according to the documents issued by the Ministry of Officials, but he was detained by Su Jiyuan on the spot.
There was a lot of evidence in the den of thieves that Xu Qing wiped out, proving that many of the corrupt officials in the government office had contacts with them, and the one who benefited the most was the Weizhou governor. The evidence will be conclusive after he is captured.
, Su Jiyuan directly wrote a memorial and reported it to the emperor.
The emperor was also very generous and approved it immediately, and then Su Jiyuan arrested the original Weizhou governor.
This efficiency is simply amazing.
They are all their own people.
It is still very easy to get things done.
Copy this man's house! You write the memorial and I will seal it.
Very pleasant to work with.
Xu Qing became even more happy when he saw the large amounts of banknotes copied from the Weizhou governor's house.
Xu Qing then used all the money to build infrastructure with a wave of his hand.
The officials in Weizhou, who were already in danger, were now even more trembling, fearing that they would be the next targets.
But there was nothing they could do.
It's easy to run away by yourself, but what should you do with such a big family?
It is said that when a new official takes office, he uses three fires, and now the first one is to burn his predecessor to death.
There are still two fires that I don’t know where to burn.
But these officials soon knew where the second fire was.
The day after Su Jiyuan ransacked the Weizhou governor's house, he summoned all the officials in Weizhou to the state government office. Of course, many people complained of illness.
So Xu Qing allocated five hundred shadow guards to Su Jiyuan.
It doesn’t matter if you call yourself sick!
As long as you are not dead, I will ask people to carry you over.
Under such strict operations, everyone from Weizhou to Biejia and the county magistrate arrived at the state government office at the prescribed time.
Originally, for an airborne superior officer like Su Jiyuan, their subordinates could actually use the information gap to evade the governor.
Because they had already sidelined him twice, the governor of Weizhou appointed by the imperial court was either sidelined by them and stayed for two years and died of illness, or he collaborated with them.
But it won’t work this time. Have you seen the elite soldiers in their hands?
If you dare to antagonize others, they will dare to put a knife to your neck.
This one doesn't work, so cut it off and replace it with a new one.
Your Majesty is so close, and when the time comes to distribute pensions, there is no need to go through the court. The governor will report directly, and Your Majesty will approve the note on the spot.
It's so easy to talk when you have soldiers in hand.
At this time, Su Jiyuan was sitting in the lobby of the state government office. The officials below bowed to Su Jiyuan one after another and saw the governor.
Su Jiyuan was very proud when he saw this scene.
He used to be a county magistrate in Yong'an County, but ended up being attached to Guozhou City and working directly in the same place as the governor at that time. How could he have the majesty of a local official?
Forget about that grievance.
Later, he went to the capital to serve as the prefect of Jingzhao. Where in the capital was there a gathering of powerful people?
If you throw a brick down, you might hit two people you can't afford to offend.
Now that I have arrived in Weizhou, I can finally enjoy the prestige of my parents' official position.
Although he works in the same city as the emperor, the emperor doesn't care!
When the officials below saw the corners of the adult's mouth turned up slightly, they couldn't help but hold their breath, not daring to take a deep breath.
No one knows how much evidence the prince and his team collected when they suppressed the bandits, and who will be the next unlucky guy.
After all, most of them have received sacrifices from bandits.
But what they didn't expect was that Mr. Su didn't investigate whether they had colluded with bandits to enrich their own pockets, but sighed.
I only heard Su Jiyuan lamenting and saying: "Comrades, I am favored by Your Majesty and was transferred to Weizhou to be the father-in-law of a state. I should have made the people rich and the world peaceful, but it is a pity. I feel sad. Here
The people of our country have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies. I dare to ask my colleagues, don’t you feel sad? Don’t you feel pity in your heart?”
At this moment, these Weizhou officials still didn't know what medicine Su Jiyuan was selling in his gourd, so they all cupped their hands and said, "Reply to the Governor, we are deeply saddened!"
Su Jiyuan said with an expression of compassion: "I never thought that all my colleagues would care about the people and care about the world. Weizhou is very lucky to have officials like you. The people of Wei are very lucky, and the country of Chu is very lucky!"
Weizhou officials did not dare to answer at this time. They themselves knew the bad things they had done, and the governor probably knew it too.
But looking at the appearance of the governor, he doesn't seem to be deliberately sarcastic. What is his real purpose?
Su Jiyuan glanced around and saw that no one spoke, and finally got to the point: "Since all my colleagues are so caring about the world and the people, now the treasury is empty and there is no money to be allocated to repair bridges, roads, and water conservancy projects.
For the benefit of the people, as the parents of the people, we, the officials, should see it in our eyes and feel pain in our hearts. I decided to donate 10,000 taels for Weizhou's water conservancy!"
