Chapter 302 Unconscious changes
Zhao Guang, however, didn't pay attention to his brother's cannibalistic look. He just looked straight at the construction site in front of him and said, "It's really amazing!"
What the hell!
A group of rustics.
As the elder brother of the indigenous turtles, a certain authentic big turtle straightened the helmet on his head and was very satisfied with their reaction.
It’s so shocking!
How could I have the nerve to speak to Old Demon Zhuge if I wasn’t shocked? Why do you have the nerve to write a project budget?
Thinking of this, Feng Tubie finally felt proud and proud, Damn it, I have been neglecting my job for so long, and finally I am doing something that is slightly in line with my major.
Civil engineering budget, you can calculate it however you want!
How to make money?
For an ordinary cement column of less than ten meters, if you don’t quote a cost of 100,000 to 80,000 yuan, is that still called a budget?
Of course, there are no cement pillars in Feng Tibi’s project this time, only cement slag.
And he never thought that he could get money out of the hands of the Han Dynasty Prime Minister. If you don’t need money, you have to allocate some food, right?
There will be a bumper harvest in Shuzhong this year. Do you think I don’t know?
Especially manpower, don’t you give some?
Not much, five hundred is enough.
Just enough to match the number of barbarian prisoners of war that were snatched from him last year, and that's without counting the interest.
It can be seen from this that a certain country turtle is actually very cautious.
Even though it had been so long, and even though he had obtained a lot of people through various means, he still remembered that he had been robbed of five hundred people by Zhuge Lao Yao.
"No wonder my brother often complains that the road is not easy to walk. It turns out that in my eyes, this kind of road is a good road. Isn't it comparable to Jincheng Street?"
Li Qiu stomped the dirt road under his feet and sighed, "Brother said that he wanted to build a road that day. Is this the kind of road he wants to build?"
“Jincheng Street may not be this smooth. Brother, do you want to pave all the roads in our workshop like this?”
Although the road is not dry yet, you can already imagine how smooth it will be when you can walk on it.
"what is this?"
Feng Yonghun replied nonchalantly, "This is just the beginning. If it works really well, all the official roads from Nanxiang to Nanzheng will be paved like this."
This paving is only a temporary attempt within the scope of the textile workshop, because Feng Yong needs to calculate the amount of earthwork and manpower before injecting water into the project budget.
“How much food will it cost?”
As expected, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s worth spending any amount of money on food.”
Feng Yong glanced at everyone. In fact, he knew in his heart that it didn't cost much at all.
Labor is free, cement is produced by oneself, and the most is just some food.
But how many days do thousands of people like me not need to eat food? What can you do without eating food? If we don’t do this work, don’t we need to eat food?
Everyone in later generations complained that foreman contractors were poor and disappeared at the end of the year, owed wages to migrant workers year after year. But who among the people in the country did not know that foreman contractors were a very wealthy profession?
“No one knows how to use cement. Let’s try it for the imperial court. Shouldn’t the Prime Minister support it?”
Feng Tubou said without shame, "How much food will be spent is something the prime minister has to worry about."
Anyway, Feng Tubao made up his mind. If Zhuge Lao Yao doesn't give him food or manpower, that's fine.
The most you can do is to cultivate slowly by yourself, little by little, and one day you will be able to cultivate well.
But if Old Demon Zhuge is willing to be more generous, naturally it will be hello to you, me, and everyone.
I'll help you test it, and I'll make sure the data is all right for you.
Besides, with experience, whether it is used after pacifying Nanzhong or renovating the plank road from Jincheng to Hanzhong, it will not lead to blindness, right?
Although Feng Yong has thousands of people under his command, some are allocated to the pastures, some to the textile workshops, and there are also lime yards, gypsum yards, and coal yards. Which one does not require manpower?
When people spread their hands, they felt extremely nervous.
Lime yards, gypsum yards, and coal yards have been in a state of near-death due to manpower problems.
In order to let the captured Hu people return home as soon as possible, Feng Yong even had to ignore his conscience that was about to disappear and let the leaders, elders, etc. of the Hu people hide and seek and disappear from time to time.
There is no other way. When these people came to Feng Yong, they lost their freedom and power. Generally speaking, their quality of life has declined, so they are a factor of instability.
It is necessary to eliminate factors of instability.
As for those poor sheep slaves and herdsmen, they had no freedom. In the past, they always had enough to eat and clothing to wear. Now that they have arrived at Feng Yong, although they have to work hard every day, they can at least have enough to eat and clothe themselves. The quality of life has improved, so It's still relatively easy to get them to focus.
In order to allow the captives to work with peace of mind, Feng Yong, in addition to pulling out a few role models from time to time, even promised them that as long as they worked hard for five years, they would be freed unconditionally.
Hairou is still effective.
At least some of the first batch of Hu people who took the initiative to join us have begun to apply for household registration. This phenomenon shows that they are working hard to integrate into the Han group.
As for the so-called freedom of those prisoners of war after five years, it was just to sound good. Because they actually have no other choice but to stay.
After leaving the place where they had worked for five years and gaining freedom, could they still return to Hu Di?
There are no cattle or sheep in Huihu. What else can the leader do except continue to be a sheep slave and starve and freeze?
Feng Yongke didn’t believe that after five years of having no worries about food and clothing, they would go back and live that kind of life again.
If someone really wants to go back life or death, then he is a person. Feng Tubolo has no choice but to let him imitate his leader and hide cats.
With a little luck, such a barbarian who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens will most likely be a hero. If he is not allowed to hide and seek, how can we wait for him to become a hero so that he can add strength to the future barbarians who invade the Central Plains?
So in five years' time, Feng Tubiao felt that he could talk to those Hu people who were working peacefully and let them join the big family as hired workers.
After all, skilled workers are hard to find, so it won’t be a big problem to pay them some wages when the time comes.
With those Hu people who have already registered as household registration and lead a good life as an example, Feng Yong believes that they will not refuse.
If you don’t do this, let them see hope and reduce their resistance, and send more people to watch every place. Where can Feng Yong get so many people?
Wang Ping was promoted to an official, and he recruited a group of people from his fellow villagers to serve as his bodyguards. Because there were too many people, he sent another batch to Wang Xun, so that Wang Xun at least looked like a second-generation official.
Zhao Guang also asked for help from his father in Jincheng. Anyway, there were many generals following his father, so he had a lot of old pawns on hand.
There was also Li Qiu and Li Yi, who tried their best to pull over the remaining and wounded soldiers who had retreated from the Nanzhong battlefield.
But this is far from enough.
Now in the general's house in Jincheng, everyone knows that Hanzhong Feng Tubou welcomes veterans who have been on the battlefield the most.
Food and shelter are provided, money and food are provided, and there are even all kinds of girls for you to choose from.
Especially the latter rumor has become even more ridiculous in the Jincheng rumors that Feng Langjun has changed from a clever talker to a lustful talker.
In the end, it was rumored that Feng Langjun had specially built a big house, and it was full of young and beautiful girls. He just waited for them to pass by and let them choose one to throw on the couch and have a good time.
Of course, the more vulgar and dirty it is, the more it will suit their taste.
So although Feng Tubao didn't have a good reputation among the princes and princes in Jincheng, he received surprisingly unanimous five-star praise among those military generals who didn't know two or three Chinese characters.
There is no way. They are all old people who have fought with them on the battlefield. A considerable number of generals have even been saved by their subordinates. So when people are old, you can't just kick them away.
If you really want to do this, who would dare to mess with you?
But the great Han Dynasty is rich and poor! It's okay to say that there are fewer disabled old guards, but after so many years of fighting, it's normal for families with a few to have hundreds of them, and for families with many, a few hundred.
The more parts there are, the more veterans there will be. This is a considerable burden.
Well now, a melon came and actually offered such good conditions. Not to mention the old soldiers, those who were lucky enough to survive on the battlefield and received some money and food to quit the army, all Very excited.
Having carried a knife all your life, how many people are used to it when they return to the countryside and dig the ground with a hoe?
Even though I am going back to my old job, at least I can have good food, clothing, housing, and even a little girl to wait on me. What kind of **** do I need in these good days?
So this rumor in Jincheng has unintentionally helped Feng Tubao.
Many old soldiers in Jincheng are wondering in their hearts, should they find their former generals and seek a connection to see if they can join Feng Langjun's sect, so that they can enjoy themselves before they die?
But even if old soldiers come one after another from the south, they are still barely enough, and this is only when the barbarians are obedient.
The textile workshop is a top priority and must be watched carefully, but the lime yard, gypsum yard, and coal yard, which one does not require garrisoned hands to watch?
It was precisely because old soldiers kept coming over that Feng Tubao finally felt a little more confident.
And based on the current speed at which this old **** is coming, isn't it possible that after a while, I won't have to worry about not having enough manpower to keep an eye on the barbarians?
In this case, why should I not get some Hu Renliao people from the old monster Zhuge? Who told him to **** my five hundred prisoners of war?
Speaking of money and food, Feng Yong remembered something again, so he looked at Zhao Guang and said, "Erlang, you go to Nanzheng tomorrow to ask the Ma Prefect when he took so much cheese from the pasture. Pay the bill to us?"
When Feng Tibi knew that there was such a thing as a militia in the world, he was truly stunned.
At the beginning, he was mentally prepared for the slave trade, but at most he thought it would be private work done privately.
That's it. He was also afraid that the descendants of future generations would regard this kind of thing as a black mark for the big man and criticize him verbally and writing to show off his feelings for the Holy Mother.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Lao Yao did something even crazier than he imagined, and directly made this kind of thing semi-official.
At the same time, he was selling dry food in Jincheng and Nanzhong. The prices were extremely low, and he didn't know how much money he made.
On the other hand, they used monsters like militia groups to cause misery to the rebels in Nanzhong.
Also, I heard that prisoners of war sent from Nanzhong seem to have to collect tolls at the pass. To put it bluntly, it is protection fee. Otherwise, they are private slaves who are not officially recognized. Private slaves are not allowed.
So the court did nothing and collected an extra sum of money.
In the end, the population of Hanzhong increased explosively, without even any effort from the court...
Simply!
With such evil methods, no wonder even the black men who specialize in criticizing Zhuge Lao Yao dare not comment on him in domestic affairs.
You said that you made so much money from the dry food made from my cheese, and you still owe the ranch some cheese fees, right?
The reason why I came to Hanzhong in the first place was not to open a ranch and sell some cheese to make dry food for the country?
As for why he suddenly turned into spinning wool and weaving without doing his job, that is not the point.
After Zhao Guang heard this, he immediately grimaced, "Brother, the wool produced by this ranch is enough for our expenses. How about the cheese, so we won't be anxious, right? Besides, I can't ask questions." "
Hey!
You black-hearted maggot!
Having seen the large quantities of cloth in textile workshops, why don’t you like cheese?
Although the current output is not large and cannot compare with the eggs sold to the imperial court in Jincheng, it can still be regarded as an income.
In the past, when the court had no money, Feng Tubao would not say anything. But recently, Mr. Zhuge’s hand has become soft when collecting money. How can Feng Tubao balance his mind?
It is only right to pay back debts!
Feng Tibi wanted to roar.
But before he could speak, Huang Wudie intervened, "Brother, what are you talking about? How can you give away a good thing like cheese for free? Even the imperial court has to follow rules. You can't take it for nothing, right? I'll accompany you to find the governor tomorrow."
Hmm, Huang Ji’s words deeply touched my heart, but it would be better if you could hide the bowl of ice cream in your hand before speaking.
Summer is here, the sun is scorching hot, and eating a bowl of ice cheese is a supreme enjoyment. Huang Ji, a foodie, decided to stay in Nanxiang and never leave when she tasted ice cheese for the first time.
My second hobby every day is to follow A-Mei with a bowl, asking A-Mei to put a little more ice cream into her bowl, and then a little more...
Even when I go out to watch road construction, I don’t forget to eat.
As for her first hobby, it was fighting with Guan Ji.
"That's it." Feng Yongcai didn't care how Zhao Guang tried to evade. Who told you to trample on the road I just built yesterday?
"I'll tell you, if you can't speak, take Huo Shaoxian with you. The cheese that Eunuch Ma took from the pasture was all handled by Huo Shaoxian, and he knows it well."
I don’t believe that Ma Su dared to waste the Queen’s private money.
Even though he knew that in the end the imperial court collected it and made it into dry food to make money, whoever took it would be responsible. How could Feng Tubolo have the courage to go to Zhuge Lao Yao?
If he really went to find someone and said he had no choice but not to recover the debt, but would instead be saddled with a debt, he would not do such a stupid thing.
“Counting the days, it’s almost time to go on inspection tours in various places. If the time comes tomorrow, just take the troops and set off.”
Feng Yong will never allow a group of people to stay in places such as lime yards, gypsum yards, and coal yards for too long.
First of all, the conditions in places such as mines are relatively difficult, but the living conditions in textile workshops are much better, so it is only fair to take turns to garrison them.
Secondly, if the same group of people are always stationed in a place, it will not only easily lead to laziness, but also the formation of mining tyrants. If one of them fails, something will happen.
“Save it, little brother.” Wang Xun responded quickly.
With the gradual increase in the population of Hanzhong, coupled with Feng Yong's vigorous development of Nanxiang and the Li family's land reclamation in Nanxiang, Nanxiang's popularity has begun to rise.
Li Qiu is no longer a county magistrate in name only, and occasionally has to deal with one or two trivial matters.
Huang Chong, as a county lieutenant, was in charge of military affairs, but there was a military officer in Nanxiang County Yamen named Mao?
The largest military force in Nanxiang is the textile workshop and mine guard teams held by a few people. Most of them are composed of veterans, and the rest are selected from Han Chinese and barbarians with good performance to join.
So Feng Yong used public services to benefit private interests, and asked Huang Chong to train soldiers with King Zhao Guang on weekdays. Now that the two of them have something to do, Huang Chong naturally has to take over for the time being.
So Feng Yong no longer made arrangements for these two people.
As for Guan Ji... Whether she took the initiative to follow her or Huang Yueying let her go, she has gradually become Feng Yong's shadow, protecting Feng Yong's personal safety.
There are few people in Shu who want Feng Tibi's life, but they are not without them.
Wang Yueying is still very reliable in fulfilling her promises.
Winning the bet with her, I will keep him safe in the Han Dynasty.
Guan Ji is probably a piece of protection given to him by Huang Yueying. Although this protection is a bit deteriorated now, the process is not important, as long as the purpose is the same.
Furthermore, he still made a profit in this matter, and Feng Tubol expressed that he was very satisfied.
