Chapter 908 Caring for the People

have a full meal,

wear warm clothes,

One day off every six days.

Such a life, these craftsmen and peasants never dared to think about it before, Jiang Hao suddenly announced that they felt too happy.

"fourth.!"

At this time, Jiang Hao spoke again, and people realized that this was not over, so they immediately listened hard, "Fourth, I will teach you how to cook a heated kang. With a heated kang, you will know what a warm winter night is."

Kang?

What is a kang?

These are not clear in my mind, so, in fact, the kang has already taken shape in the Han Dynasty, mainly in the north. When Su Wu was sent as an envoy in the Western Han Dynasty, he was caught and shepherd sheep in the freezing Huns for 19 years. It is recorded that he "dug the ground as a ridge and set a warm fire", and the real spread of the heated kang should be in the Tang Dynasty. The heated kang has always been popular in the ancient north. Living on it is called a kang to keep warm."

Even in modern society, kangs abound in northern China, especially in the northeast.

Jiang Hao’s family is in the north. Before the villa was built, there were beds in the east room and the west room. After the villa was built, hey, two rooms with earth kang were built downstairs.

Some people live in high-rise buildings, and they still need a kang, have you ever seen it?

These people don't know what Jiang Hao is talking about, but since the Immortal Tai Zhu said it, it must be a good thing.

In fact, the above three things have already made these people feel as if they have stepped into heaven all at once. The happiness came so suddenly that they dare not accept it.

what else can i do

Kowtow.

There are more than 20,000 people, all of whom can't see the end at a glance, and all of them are foremen and craftsmen at the construction site of the imperial mausoleum. They kowtow to Jiang Hao and say words of gratitude,

"Thank you, Mrs. May you be sympathetic to my little people!"

After hearing these words, Jiang Hao sighed in his heart, in fact, they deserved these things, but now they are grateful to themselves.

The imperial court should have guaranteed food rations, but they were deducted layer upon layer. In the mouths of these folk husbands, it is estimated that there are only two or three rations left. No wonder they want to drink gruel.

Those clothes were issued by the imperial court. They should have been given to these peasant husbands, but they were intercepted. Some people sold the clothes privately to make a profit, and the rest were piled up in the warehouse and not given to these peasant husbands. They only looked at them Wear unlined clothing to withstand the cold.

It's too kind to hang those guys outside to freeze overnight, so they should be pulled out and frozen every night, so that they can also taste what it means to live and suffer, and to die and deserve it.

Jiang Hao called five supervisors and said: "If you don't do other things today, just do the few things I said, first send out the clothes, look at the rags and rags on the people's husbands, and look at their clothes. Unlined clothes should have been distributed long ago."

"But Mr. Supervisor, there are not enough clothes in the warehouse. There are only less than 150,000 pieces. We have a total of more than 400,000 people here." A supervisor whispered.

"Then start from the older ones. If it's not enough, buy cloth to do it. Could it be that the money has been embezzled and the things that should be done are forgotten." Jiang Hao said in a deep voice.

Seeing Jiang Hao's face darken, several people trembled in fear, "Yes, I will take care of it later."

"As for the heating kang, find a few skilled masons and stonemasons, first put my house on the heating kang, and when they learn how to build it, they can spread it. The most important thing we lack here is craftsmen. Let them It's probably easy to use your spare time to repair your own house." Jiang Hao said.

"There is no shortage of craftsmen, no matter how good the craftsman is, you can find them. I will send some of the best masons and stonemasons to make them for you in a short while~ oh~ kang." A supervisor said immediately.

In order to build the imperial mausoleum, Qin Shihuang gathered the strength of the whole country. There is really no shortage of good craftsmen, and thousands of people can be drawn casually, and it involves all walks of life. After all, the construction of the imperial mausoleum is a vast and complex systematic project.

The craftsmen sent over, several old men in sackcloth, and five middle-aged men. These craftsmen saluted Jiang Hao together.

"You don't need to be too polite. I'll tell you how to build a kang. When I finish it here, spread this craftsmanship and repair it in everyone's house. Just light a fire before going to bed to ensure a warm night." Jiang Hao said .

"I will definitely study hard." Several craftsmen replied respectfully.

Jiang Hao drew images with silk cloth, and explained the principle of the kang to a few people. This thing is very simple to say. These craftsmen are all top-notch craftsmen, and their brains are very easy to use.

"Do you understand?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I'll understand later."

"How long will it take to fix it?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Back to the supervisor, it's not difficult to build, it takes one or two hours, but it takes one or two days to bake." An old man replied.

Jiang Hao really believed what the old man said, because these people are the most professional.

"Okay, let's start building."

After Jiang Hao finished talking, these craftsmen went out and began to prepare materials. What do you need for the kang? Mud and bricks are what the Qinhuangling Mausoleum lacks most. These people are all foremen and master craftsmen, and more than a hundred people are called to work together in a short time.

Jiang Haoxin said that it would be too extravagant for more than a hundred people to set up a kang.

Those craftsmen came in and out at a very fast speed, and it took less than two hours to finish it, and the joints between the bricks and stones were so tight that it was almost like a work of art. Then they started to burn the kang. The craftsman of the factory took the measurements and went back, and hurried to work, and the suitable straw mat will be brought in tomorrow.

This is a room built by the chief supervisor, who dares to fool around.

Jiang Hao didn't pay attention to the workers here, and took people around the various construction sites. He had already issued an order before that the clothes would be distributed today.

In fact, Jiang Hao was wrong before. In this era, there are no cotton-padded clothes and trousers at all. The rich use fur, and the poor can only wear linen clothes. In order to keep out the cold in winter, they also know how to fill the linen with wadding. Generally, these wadding are broken flax. Silk broken kudzu is the worst, and some even use reed catkins.

Jiang Hao's carriage came to a gathering place of civilian husbands. He opened the curtain and looked out, and saw the petty officials unloading piles of winter clothes from the cart. Name, you can go forward to get a set of clothes.

After some people got the new clothes, they stroked the soft material with their callused hands, and murmured: "It's really good clothes, thick, I didn't expect to wear thick clothes this year, I really want to thank the Immortal Zhu what."

An old man next to him also said excitedly, "I also got a set, I wear this set, I can give it to my nephew, and it saves him from wearing trousers with exposed legs."

"I heard that Immortal Taizhu has ordered people to buy fabrics to make new clothes. I think it won't be long before they can wear winter clothes."

"Yes, yes, Immortal Taizhu really relieved our suffering."

suddenly,

Someone saw Jiang Hao's convoy on the official road, and someone shouted: "That seems to be the car of Immortal Taizhu!"

The others looked together and found that the curtains of the carriage had been lifted, and the figure of Immortal Taizhu could be vaguely seen. Someone actually knelt down and shouted with a winter coat in his hand, "Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal."

When the others saw it, they knelt down and shouted words of gratitude.

Jiang Hao was not very happy, put down the curtain of the car, and said softly: "Go ahead, go and see other places."

Jiang Hao's car left, and until it disappeared completely, these civilian husbands stood up one by one. In fact, their hearts are the simplest and most direct. Whoever treats them well is the real fairy, worthy of their kneeling.

The carriage walked to a workshop for making bronze wares. It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and Jiang Hao saw that there was already smoke rising from the kitchen.

"Go and see how the porridge is cooked." Jiang Hao ordered.

When Jiang Hao brought people over, dinner was already served here, and the peasants lined up to eat with pottery bowls one by one. Seeing Jiang Hao and others coming, all the peasants hid aside, bowed and saluted, and some even knelt down directly.

"Get up, let me see how the cooked rice is doing." Jiang Hao said.

After speaking, he walked to the cauldron, looked at the corn porridge inside, picked up a chopstick next to it, inserted it in, put it down when it was halfway in, and found that the chopstick was basically fixed there, a little satisfied head.

"In the future, we will follow this standard. We only eat two meals a day. If each meal only has a few sips of soup, we will not have the strength to work. Only with strength can we build the imperial mausoleum." Jiang Hao said.

When the folk husbands heard it, they were all happy, and some even shouted, "We will definitely do our best."

"We will do our best!"

The others yelled too.

Jiang Hao returned to the camp and said to the several supervisors who came over: "Call the people from the thirteen departments to come together, I have orders."

The so-called Thirteen Departments are the departments in charge of their supervisors. Basically, each has a division of labor and each manages a share. These people immediately took orders. The vice-inspectors have come, a total of more than twenty people.

Jiang Hao glanced at it, and said in a deep voice: "Ran Le, Zang Ling and others have been captured by the official. The evidence of the crime is conclusive. They have embezzled countless money and food for the construction of the imperial mausoleum. You stand here now, ask yourself, you can be righteous!"

Jiang Hao's words fell to the ground loudly, and everyone here was silent.

No one here dares to say that no money has been collected. If you check carefully, none of them will escape.

"However, this is the time for employing people. If you wait to do things with your heart, these issues can be temporarily put aside, but if you commit another crime, I will definitely punish you for several crimes." Jiang Hao said.

He can't arrest all of these people. In fact, most of these people have the ability to work, but they are just greedy for money. If they do things well, Jiang Hao can let them go.

He's not a mentally clean freak.

But Jiang Hao's words are also clear, do things well, do things obediently, you can let you go, but if you dare to be disobedient and disobeying orders, then wait for multiple crimes and punishment.

When these people heard this, they all felt like they had gone through a cycle of life and death. Even though it was winter, many of them were covered in cold sweat.

Plop plop.

These guys all knelt down.

"We will do our best and work hard."

The term "conscientious and conscientious", we often understand it as hard work, but it is not. This idiom means to do things cautiously and full of fear.

It couldn't be more suitable for these people.

Jiang Hao glanced again, and said, "Ran Le and his seven departments will be fully responsible for the deputy supervisor from now on. If the work is effective, it is not impossible to be promoted to supervisor."

When the deputy supervisors heard this, they felt ecstasy in their hearts. They didn't expect to escape the catastrophe, and now there are unexpected surprises.

As for the other five supervisors' subordinates, the deputy supervisors said, "Damn it, if their leader is arrested, then he would have a chance to be promoted. At that time, a few eyes lingered behind their leaders.

Those supervisors are not fools. Although Jiang Hao didn't say it clearly, the supervision mechanism has already been established. If he makes a mistake and doesn't need others, his deputy will wish to kill him. After that, he must be extremely cautious.

"Building an imperial mausoleum is not a one-day effort, and those craftsmen and civilians are the main force. You are in charge of management, but you must also be considerate of the people's feelings and employ workers reasonably. You can't just force them and learn to do things with your heart and mind." Jiang Hao said.

"I understand."
