"Shhh Chief mate? Why not skip the ship? A child who doesn't want to be a captain is not a good first mate. ”

Chen Niang's excited voice was a little loud, so frightened that Hong Tao covered her mouth. Okay, scolding the emperor behind his back and shouting, this is too slow.

"Don't be a captain, the captain has one eye and a wooden leg. Chen Niang is afraid of pain, it's good to be the first mate, let the eldest sister be the captain, she is not afraid of pain! ”

This answer is more childish, and it makes sense that she doesn't want to be a captain just because in the story told by her adoptive father, none of the pirate captains are completely human, either blind or lame, and usually the first mate is relatively healthy.

"Okay, well, when you are the first mate, you will be the first mate. But don't let your clansmen be idle all the time, go to the workshop with skills, and the rest of the officials will find them a good livelihood and open bakeries in Huangzhou and Mawei City. That thing doesn't cost much, and it works quickly, so they shouldn't lose money with their brains. ”

Enough imagination, Hong Tao still has one more thing that Chen Niang needs to do. There were a hundred and ten of these Jews, and they were all dragged with their families, and not all of them had skills, and the rest had neither land for grazing nor land, and all of them were idle.

The land near Liangzhou was fooled out by Wang Er and the others, and there was no free time. Even if there is Hong Tao, he is not worried about letting them play with the pioneers, the newcomers don't even understand the language, and they will have to be killed in less than half a year, so it will not be beautiful.

But what should they do? Isn't it good to bake bread, this thing doesn't require much language communication, and you can count the money when you mark the price. Since they are all here, they can't support the elderly all day, and they must contribute to the economic construction here.

In addition, Hong Tao is a little selfish, mainly for Sidi. This female leopard has been hanging out with the people all day since they came, and she doesn't give herself much chance to be alone.

Coercion is not your own style, so you have to find a way to disperse these Jews, and self-reliance is a very serious reason.

Then, he can justifiably transfer her to her side as a female secretary. How can I say it in the future, if there is something to do, there is nothing to do as a secretary, as it should be!

In the blink of an eye, another year came to dusk, and at the end of August in the autumn wind, the post road from Liangzhou to Lanzhou was finally completed. Seventy percent of the road surface is paved vertically with half-meter-long stone strips, which must be solid enough to be damaged even if they are blown up with shells.

The effect is also significant, and the arrival of the Crown's supply convoy in Liangzhou takes one-third less time than before, and is no longer affected by the climate. Heavy rains in the summer and heavy snow in the winter are no longer a reason to cut off traffic, it is nothing more than a difference of a few days faster and a few days slower.

Well, good things are expensive, and similarly, the price paid for this road is also extremely high. This high cost refers not only to money and goods, but also to the unit cost of this road compared with the cost of road construction in the Great Song Dynasty. But from another point of view, it is very expensive, and that is human life.

In order to complete the project as soon as possible, more than 4,000 prisoners of war and more than 1,000 servants were invested in this road. More than 800 people died directly, most of whom were prisoners of war, and the role of the van was foreman and technical work. In addition, there are more than 500 people who have been disabled to varying degrees, and the kind that will affect them for life.

In the face of this ending, Hong Tao can only sigh, the rise of a nation is usually accompanied by the pain of other nations, no one can avoid it in history, and it still can't be changed here.

What I can do is to make their deaths more valuable, for example, at the junction of Ganliang Road and Qinfeng Road in the north of Jisang City, build a pyramid-like monument with the stones used to build the road.

The one with the name is engraved on it, and the one without the name is represented by a villain symbol, which is used to commemorate these living beings who have given their lives to build the road. Then I named this road the Road to Heaven, and wished those who died that they could go to heaven and have a good birth in the next life, and not suffer again.

But the question is, where to vote? Hong Tao counted with his fingers, there really doesn't seem to be such a place in the world, sooner or later, sooner or later, he will come once.

In addition, Hong Tao also granted amnesty to the disabled prisoners of war, exempting them from the status of prisoners of war. But not unconditionally, but to continue to serve the path.

The road guards, that's their only option. Those who are willing to join this team are the residents who register on Ganliang Road, and those who are unwilling to join, I'm sorry, and then live in the prisoner of war camp. If you can't do heavy work, you will go to do laundry, cooking, and cleaning, and you won't have no work to eat for nothing anyway.

No disabled prisoner of war was unhappy with this move, although the road guards still had to serve, and the military staff was much less than that of the new army, but after all, it was considered a job to support himself.

The work is not tiring, that is, every day in a carriage with tools to run back and forth on the road, where there are mudslides, landslides, snow or something, quickly notify other team members to come and clean up, all the purpose is to ensure that the road is as smooth as possible.

Hong Tao also granted several pieces of land along the road to the road guards as living land, on which they could build houses, graze cattle and farm, all of which were tax-free, but could not be inherited. The ownership of these lands belongs to the road guards, not individuals, and the members of the road guards and their families only have the right to use them, not the property rights.

In charge of supervising the construction of the Road to Heaven was the head of the Huangzhou Xiang, and with this successful road construction experience, he also received a meritorious service award and was promoted from the head of the capital to the deputy commander.

In addition to the joy, there was also pressure, because this team could not rest for too long, and soon had to go west to Suzhou to assist in the construction of the city.

This task is even more daunting, because winter is just around the corner and the deadline is very tight. Even if construction is not possible after the freeze, the mining of the stone cannot be stopped every day, so that when the ground thaws next spring, the castle can be built immediately.

"My lord, there is one thing I don't understand at the end, can I teach ......" Before leaving, in addition to listening to Lord Shuaisi's encouragement and advice, this deputy commander Feng still has some questions to understand.

"What's bothering?" Hong Tao likes to act as a mentor to others, and prefers people who are willing to ask questions. As long as he has time, he will patiently answer questions from a small soldier, and he will ask if he understands when he thinks about it in the future.

"These captives hate us to the core, and if there were no New Army guards, they would have rebelled a long time ago. But they were grateful to the adults, and the general could not understand why this was so. It was the adults who captured them, and it was still the adults who made them coolies, and the last general was just acting on orders, why did he become a wicked person? ”

Deputy Commander Feng really dared to say it, so he almost pointed to his nose and asked his boss why you did all the lack of morality, but he carried the black pot by himself.

"Hehehe...... Hahaha...... You should ask the official family about this, what the official does is the intention of the official, and it is you who forces them to work, so you shouldn't hate the official. Between the official family and you, who should you hate? After hearing this, Hong Tao laughed obscenely, his expression was not a thing, and the words he said were not things.

Zhen Nima is enjoyable, and finally someone has to carry the black pot for himself, and the children can be taught! Look at this Deputy Commander Feng again, how to look at it and how pleasing to the eye. If the construction of Suzhou City goes well, his sub-word can be completely removed!

“…… The last general didn't dare, and retired...... "Deputy Commander Feng knows that one problem will change the fate of his life, looking at the face of his boss, he knows that there will be no serious answer if he asks again, so why should he go."

"Alas...... This official and you are the same fate, it is someone else who creates evil, but the basin has to be taken over by this official. You are only hated by thousands of people, and it will be difficult for this official to be hated by thousands of people in the future, at least tens of millions of people. ”

At this time, Hong Tao finally understood the feeling of Emperor Shenzong when he supported himself, he did not want to support himself, but had to support himself. Just like knowing that this Deputy Commander Feng has some immoral practices and is too inhumane to treat prisoners of war, he still wants to reward him.

If you don't do this, you can't do anything, and you have to get out of the way. It is better to indulge others in doing things that lack morality, and in the end you will get gratitude. Human nature is like this, there is no reason to talk about it at all.
