Volume 4 Shu Dao Difficulty Chapter 348 [Contractor]
The matter of building roads can be regarded as a big matter!
But the big project that Huang Jie is going to do now to raise funds from the people to repair the official road is indeed unprecedented for the Great Song Dynasty, and it is precisely because it is an unprecedented move that it can be accepted for the Song people who are in the best era.
Anyway, if the road is not repaired, Huang Jie can't eat and walk around by himself, so he repairs the natural flower sedan chair and carries people.
There are 10,000 guan borrowed by Wushan County to the bottom, plus 16,000 guan sent by Wanyuting as an add-on, and 5,000 stone of rice grain as a ballast warehouse, so there is naturally no need to choose any auspicious year, auspicious month and auspicious time when the start of construction will be.
However, it is calculated that the servants in the east from Ba to Kuizhou in the east have come to worship him in the near future, so there is no hurry to start building roads in the next few days.
However, he said that after settling Wan Yuting's father and daughter, he heard Zhan Chao report again, saying that three more servants had arrived south of Kuizhou, but the parents and elders who arrived this time proposed to meet Huang Jie and Ah Zhu in person, so as to be sure that they were indeed the people who prophesied in the painting.
Huang Jie also agreed, so he went to the red fruit room to take a look, and happened to see Sun Jiuniang and A pig feeding medicine, but A Zhu, the child, wanted to take a sip of the grandmother with the red fruit before he was willing to drink a spoonful of medicinal juice, which really made Huang Jie speechless.
After careful inspection, it was found that the child's wound had scabbed over and there was no sign of infection, and he also knew how to "sweet and bitter", which seemed to have really saved his life. immediately told Hongguo about the request of the servant's parents, and Hongguo naturally had no objections, so he immediately found someone to make a stretcher and took the mother and son to the outside of the city.
When I went out to the outside of the city, I saw that the outside of the city was really crowded. There are 40 or 50 pergolas temporarily built on the edge of the city alone, and 10 of them are used as pergolas for the free medical treatment of doctors in Wushan County. It's just that the other servants who have already been treated or have just arrived are singing and dancing around the embers of a dozen or so bonfires outside the city.
Huang Minglai came. Naturally, there was a courtesy, and the five families who came to Wushan at the earliest also took on the responsibility of maintaining order at this time, and Elder Ermine regarded himself as Huang Jie's personal entourage, and introduced the Kuizhou families who came later.
Naturally, Huang Jie once again shared his theory of "if you want to get rich, you must first build roads", as well as the idea of the original ecological mountain treasure breeding industry chain of the servants.
The tiredness of the tongue also made the parents of the servants half happy and half worried, and the joy was naturally that Huang Jie, an immortal, should still have a few catties and two pounds when he saw it. The worry is that the method in Huang Jie's mouth is going to feel like a pavilion in the air and the moon in the water, although the big guy is struggling to make a living in the mountains and wilderness in the name of a servant, but how can the parents and elders of each family really be savages who drink blood, naturally they are still somewhat familiar with some world affairs, and they know that repairing the official road is a big thing, even if Huang Jie is a big official like a transfer envoy and an official road envoy, such a huge project cannot be decided by him alone.
However, when Huang Jie asked someone to pull out three carts of about 2,400 copper coins and 600 stone of grain from the treasury of the Wushan County Ya and came to the front of the city, he looked at the copper coins piled up like a hill in front of him. and carts full of grain, everyone finally got rid of the half-happy and half-sad thoughts, and began to believe that Huang Jie could do this!
Two thousand four hundred copper coins worn with hemp rope are piled together in one place, which is a mountain of money as high as more than zhang. Huang Jie Shi Ran walked to the top of Qian Mountain, looked at the parents and elders of the nearly thirty servant villages gathered around, and said loudly: "I won't hide it from you. In the afternoon today, the money, food and other things needed to repair the official road are carried out. The envoy has already made it up. Yes, it is time to plan. It is to see if there will be auspicious days in the next few days, just hang the red and start work. ”
When the elders of the family heard this, they also looked at Qian Shan and smiled, but Elder Ermine was bold and answered: "Angel but there is a sending, just command, my servant dares to have someone who disobeys the order, and all families abandon it!" ”
I want to talk about it here, Huang Jie originally called himself a junior early in the morning, but after the servants gathered more and more, Elder Ermine also suggested that it was inappropriate, so Huang Jie could only call himself "this envoy" with the official title of transfer envoy and official envoy, and all the servants called Huang Jie as the "angel" of the envoy of the Son of Heaven and the immortal envoy of the Heavenly Family.
Moreover, in ancient China, the term "angel" originally meant the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and there was no ambiguity, nor was it specifically used to refer to those Western birdmen like Lei Zhenzi.
Huang Jie saw the enthusiastic response of the families below, so he also said: "Okay! With this in the first place, the envoy will also be relieved! Originally, I thought that all the villagers and elders of the Yu clan would come to gather in Wushan, and they should always eat and drink well and be properly entertained, and when they were full of wine and meat, and they would come to work when they had enough rest. Who knows that today is just right, and everyone from Kuizhou to Padang has arrived, so why don't they also make a charter today and assign everyone's duties, so that everyone can eat and drink with peace of mind. Someone, pictured above! ”
Immediately, Hua Rong and Zhan Chao personally carried a whole cow map, which is also a map drawn from the whole cowhide, which shows the official road map from Kuizhou to Badong.
Huang Jie walked down Qianshan, led everyone to watch in front of the map, and explained: "This time the official road repair project, after accounting for a total of 223 miles, after rounding off the head and tail, the actual budget is set at 240 miles, and the cost of one mile is estimated to be 300 yuan. The envoy was going to divide the 240 li into 12 sections, each of which was responsible for the repair and construction of the 20-mile road, which was also 6,000 yuan per section. In addition, a grain subsidy of 25 stone will be given for each mile of road, which means that there will be a rice grain subsidy of 500 stone for a section. At that time, the 12 sections will start construction at the same time, and the first three sections to be completed will each receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan and 500 stone of rice grain. Therefore, in view of the fact that there are 29 companies present, it is necessary for everyone to form their own teams according to the distance and relatives, and two or three companies will work together to do the work section, and once the document is signed and the site is drawn, each section can first receive 200 yuan and 50 stone rice grain as the money and food for the decision. ”
Huang Jie's method of sub-section package naturally made the servants stunned, and after Huang Jie explained it carefully, it was also a sudden opening, and soon the Ajiazhai represented by Elder Ermine and the adjacent Baijiazhai contracted the first section of Badong County to the west, and then each family also formed a team of two or three families to contract each section of the road project.
In this way, the first batch of contract foremen in the Great Song Dynasty was born!
Then Huang Jie personally wrote down the paperwork, and the parents and elders cut their palms and drew blood on the paperwork.
After that, Huang Jie also kept his word, and with a wave of his hand, he asked each family to share the money and grain. Two hundred yuan is said to be less or more, and it is only thirty yuan or half a stone of rice grain to fill a basket with a man's carry, but fortunately, when the servants came, they each brought something to offer to the immortals, and naturally there were containers to fill it, so they also happily divided the money and food.
After taking each family to divide it, Huang Jie also asked someone to bring three things, but it was white ash, clay and fine sand, so he listened to him: "The shovel, pickaxe, rammer and other utensils needed for road construction are naturally provided by this envoy, but the white ash, clay and fine sand required for the configuration of the triple soil need to be found by each family as soon as possible.
