Chapter 167: No Distinction Between Rank and Rank (Ask for the First Order)
After attending the public memorial ceremony on Chang'an Street, Liu Hongchuan has been feeling a little heavy.
He believed that Chongzhen's eyes must have been red when he read the blessings, and he could feel Emperor Chongzhen's respect and admiration for these deceased heroes.
But that's not what depresses him the most.
If Taiji comes, the heavens will be virtuous.
Daming Tieshi, Yu Lie drove the horse.
The rivers and mountains of the old days are back to be admired.
Liu Hongjian still remembered that when Emperor Chongzhen exhaled these words, all the surrounding ministers looked at him with envy.
However, this envy, Liu Hongjian is not uncommon at all.
It is not a good thing to be relied on, and it is not a pleasure to be expected to be high, which means more and heavier responsibilities.
If you want to take on this responsibility, I don't know how much bloodshed and deception you have to go through during this period.
It is undeniable that the Ming Dynasty has heroes who are extremely loyal to the court, and they will take this as their ultimate goal.
If he had a choice, he didn't need this burden, which was too heavy, and one negligence could lead to ruin.
Today, he is only twenty-one years old.
Looking back on the past year, I was kicked by the old Taoist priest to this strange and familiar place, and then I was imprisoned, and under the persistence of my father and wife, I embarked on this doomed and extraordinary road of no return.
If they were just ordinary people, they would probably have gone to the south by now to enjoy their blessings.
Alas, the world is unpredictable, and we can only take one step at a time.
Nine times out of ten the miscellaneous things in this world are mediocre people, Liu Hong gradually decided to let go of the thoughts in his heart, and went straight to the outer city with more than 100,000 young people.
Gu Ran's convoy from Shanxi stopped at the edge of the city, and when he saw Liu Hongjian and others coming, Gu Ran said hello and shouted to the horsemen, and followed Liu Hong towards the Xishan construction site.
After a few days of trimming, selection, and distribution by Yan Yingyuan and the others, the construction work on the construction site was carried out in an orderly manner.
The 3,000 Minzhuang were divided into three waves, one wave was used to build the most important comprehensive research institute, which will be a scientific research center in the future, specializing in the research and development of many instruments, including military and people's livelihood.
Another wave was responsible for building more urgent greenhouses, and Yan Yingyuan found a few masters from the Jiashu Department who were specifically responsible for growing vegetables for Chongzhen.
The greenhouse is roofed with glazed ceilings, surrounded by earthen walls and hollow underneath, heated by charcoal fires, and is responsible for cultivating potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Glass is very expensive, in order to save money, each greenhouse only leaves a small space at the top, and with anthracite, charcoal fire can also save a lot of silver, the only difficulty is how to keep the temperature.
It would be nice if there were plastic sheets, alas, Liu Hong gradually thought maliciously.
Fortunately, his face was big enough, so he said hello to the palace and directly asked a few masters to come over, who were specifically responsible for the heating of the greenhouse, which saved a lot of trouble.
In addition to the research institute and the greenhouse, the third wave was responsible for the construction of the dwellings south of the greenhouse, and 500 craftsmen worked overtime to do it happily.
The reason is very simple, not only do they eat and drink here, but they also have not beaten and scolded the whip-pumping officials at every turn.
Tired of the humiliation of the officials in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, even if this place is still deserted, everyone is in full swing.
To the east of the construction site are rows of tents that have been erected, where 3,000 people and 500 craftsmen live temporarily.
In addition to their daily training, the teenagers of the Banzai Mountain Thousand Households are on duty at the construction site, and all of them are from poor backgrounds, so they naturally have a good impression of these people and craftsmen.
Many teenagers also have acquaintances with these coolies' families, and occasionally they can talk a few words.
"Hou Ye is here, Hou Ye has come to see us!" I don't know who shouted first.
Many people on the construction site were looking in the direction that the man was pointing.
Liu Hong gradually beat his horse first, and the guards of the Qianhu Institute followed closely behind him and came to the edge of the construction site.
"Hou Ye Wanfu!" Whether it is a Minzhuang or a craftsman, they can't help but kowtow to Liu Hong and thank him.
"Everyone, please hurry up, why are you still working in this cold day, I remember to say hello to your stall, Chinese New Year's Eve allowed you to go home for the New Year, but the stall deliberately deceived you?"
Liu Hong gradually got off the horse, walked to the craftsman's side and said loudly.
"Master Hou is wrong to blame Yan stallhead, yesterday Yan stall head has told us that we can go home for the New Year, but...... The house is also surrounded by walls and the cloth is not warm, so it is better to stay here and do some work to keep warm. ”
A craftsman smiled bitterly and said to Liu Hongji, in fact, most people can't open the pot at home, and if they do some work here, at least there will be one person left to eat.
When Yan Yingyuan learned that Hou Ye was coming, he also hurriedly left the affairs at hand and rushed over.
"Why did you come here today, didn't you say that the court is going to have a public sacrifice today?" Yan Yingyuan was so busy that thousands of people at the three major construction sites wanted him to come to Zhang Luo, and he was sweating in the cold weather.
"Well, the public sacrifice is over, come here to take a look if you have nothing to do, Lao Yan, is the silver in the account still enough?" Liu Hong asked aloud.
"My lord, a few days ago, you distributed 30,000 taels of silver, and purchased more than 100,000 taels of equipment and materials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and used more than 40,000 taels to purchase food.
Now there is plenty in the account, a full 150,000 taels! Yan Yingyuan was originally a master of accounting management, and he knew these numbers well, so he blurted out his debut.
"Well, then give these craftsmen and Minzhuang this month's monthly silver in advance, so that everyone can have a good year!"
Liu Hong gradually didn't think about it, and said directly.
Three thousand people are strong and the moon is five coins, and the five hundred craftsmen are divided into grades according to the rules set before, but even so, the monthly silver for a month is only a few thousand taels, which is a drop in the bucket for Liu Hongji, who is still wealthy.
"Master Xie!"
"Master Hou's great grace, the small family will never forget!"
Many of the people and craftsmen couldn't believe their ears, they had only been working here for a few days.
Especially these hard-working craftsmen, they have never received a penny of silver for helping the official master's family in their lives, and the Hou Ye in front of them not only gave the silver, but also distributed it a month in advance.
This did not surprise them, and then they bowed down in unison.
In these years, a tael of silver is life-saving money.
"Old Feng, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let people go to the city to buy some wine, and let the cook cook some delicious food for everyone at night!" Liu Hong gradually said to Feng Dun.
A casual sentence came out of Liu Hong's mouth.
After all, there is no distinction between high and low types of work, and from the perspective of the values of a later generation, whether it is a migrant worker on the construction site, a worker in a factory, or a white-collar worker in the office.
They all live on their own skills, and without migrant workers, who will build you a house? Without workers, where do you get what you wear and what you use in your hands?
However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Many people and craftsmen forgot to cheer, but their eyes were a little red.
"Ahh Why are you still crying, good days are waiting for you in the future, all of them will work hard for this grandfather! "Liu Hongjian can't stand these the most, this is the New Year's Day.
"If you have the strength, when you see those carriages, you will unload the coal for Benhou, and you won't be able to unload it and have no food!" If you dare to pretend to be fierce, these people can only adapt to it, this is really ......
"Unload the coal!"
"Let's go!"
A large crowd shouted and rushed towards the carriage.
"The blacksmith and the forger have come over to Ben Hou and have something to explain!"
Coal naturally has to be used, not only for its own use, but also to promote to thousands of households, which has to quickly create an artifact.
Liu Hong gradually pinched the drawings in his hand and pointed to a group of enthusiastic craftsmen and said.
PS: Ask for subscriptions, ask for rewards, Hanhan has prepared instant noodles and cigarettes, so I can see more and less of you.
