Chapter 157 Zhuge Liang's Suggestions

"Dad, don't worry. Our Li family is rich but not expensive. I will go to Xuzhou now and become a master of Marquis Wen and learn martial arts. If Marquis Wen refuses to take him in, I will join the army and do a career in the army." Li Yong said.

"Okay, it's not early, let's go early."

Li Yong brought more than a dozen horses and more than 200 stagnant of money, and several servants rushed to Xuzhou.

Unexpectedly, Li Yongzhen was selected by Lu Bu and learned a good martial arts skills. This is a later story, so I won’t mention it for now.

It was just said that Zhuge Jin collected food from a large household, but he did not move a soldier and a few days later.

These big families have their own reasons. Zhuge Jin knew it with reason, moved it with emotion, and said all the good things.

Some of them were unwilling to hand over. Zhuge Jin said: "Although I am a county magistrate, many things are decided by the Marquis Wen. Wen is kind to others and rarely gets angry. But once he gets angry, Chen Deng and his son are role models. He has not taken off his head for the first half of a month. Later, maggots were born and taken down and buried."

A very large number of large-scale investors also surrendered, and even the largest large-scale investors are not as great as Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

As Zhuge Jin said, Zhuge Jin was just a county magistrate, but Lu Bu was different. He was a hero who led the army. He didn't lose his temper and talked or laughed. If he lost his temper, he would be beheaded.

The grain collection has been basically completed by more than 80% of it, which is considered to be over-completed.

Zhuge Jin was also upright and the warehouse was full of food. He opened a project to build roads and bridges, and did not need to ask Xuzhou for food.

Zhuge Jin wrote a report saying that the mountainous areas of Dongguan are difficult to walk on, so there are many roads that require construction of roads. He hopes that the lord can allocate some iron picks.

The official inns in Xuzhou are very smooth. There are more than 60 inns among several counties. Although it cannot be as fast as 800 miles, it still has a speed of 200 miles per day.

However, in two days the report came to Lu Bu's desk. The one who replaced Liu Zhubo was a child of the Zhao family, a wealthy family in Xuzhou. After seeing it, he handed it to Lu Bu for review.

"It's correct. I'll arrange for Liao Hua to transport 10,000 sets of shovels and picks, and allocate 5,000 sets of autumn clothes and pants to help those who don't have clothes to live in autumn."

Zhao Zhubo wrote the government order, and Lu Bu issued it with a seal and immediately issued it to execute it.

Ten thousand sets of shovels and pickaxes and five thousand sets of autumn clothes and pants are only a few dozen cars. Now that the station is developed, there is no need for a large army to escort. Two hundred people are simply passing by, and they change mules a few times halfway, and arrive in Dongguan County on the third day.

Zhuge Jin was very surprised. He came so quickly.

A shovel, an iron pickaxe. The cost of using 60 kilograms of grain a year is not high. The people really like it and are rushing to ask for it.

You can only use the method of drawing lots. If you can't catch them, it depends on God's will.

The former large households have already surrendered the grain delivery, and the construction has been much smoother this time, not to mention that the maintenance of the official road is a century-old plan, and the most profitable ones are the wealthy households.

To the west of Dongguan County, there is a Hei Song Ridge.

The official road passes through Hei Song Ridge, and it is always a winding path. Pedestrians or wheelbarrows are OK, but horse-drawn carriages and vans are definitely not.

Lu Bu replied to Zhuge Jin, saying that the iron pickaxes and shovels are made of steel and cost a lot. When building roads, it is like passing through a dense forest to appropriately cut down some wood.

Although this is not an important task, the subordinates have to do what the Lord’s bus does.

Early in the morning, the construction site of Hei Songling started.

Twenty nearby villages and more than 6,000 people were mobilized. In order to prevent tigers and wolves from hurting people in the mountains, the 200 army first beat a few gongs and drums on the road. The sound of gongs and drums was noisy and was disliked by the beasts the most.

Set up the incense table, worship the world, and start construction.

Zhuge Jin took the iron pickaxe and dug the first pickaxe.

It's just the start of construction.

These days, road construction and expressway construction are very simple, just two carriages can be arranged side by side. There is no other difficulty in repairing drainage channels on both sides of the road. The only place is the whole mountain with many bone stones.

With Zhuge Jin's leading role and many management and supervision in the yamen, everyone is still very motivated.

Zhuge Jin and a scholar were very powerful. They worked hard all morning and looked full.

The women in charge of making meals were all women from nearby villages, who were carrying large iron pots and used foods as well as public grains handed over by the people.

There are fragrant old pickles and big jars of leek flowers in the big pot.

The villagers who worked were very happy. They ate and smiled, which was better than expected. Not only did they have three meals a day, they could also give pickles and leeks to eat, which was quite good.

Zhuge Jin ate two bowls of porridge and began patrolling the construction site. He arranged for everyone to pay attention to safety. While doing good work, he must ensure safety. Most of the strong men work, and some families do not have strong men, and the ones are born with middle-aged women, which is also OK.

In the era without machinery, there were many people and great power, and this was how road construction was done. There was no such thing as contracting. People were mobilized to build their own roads, endure hardships, and eat at the construction site. Go home at night, get up early and come over again.

Zhuge Jin's family also sent ten families to work. You should know that Zhuge Jin's family is also a wealthy family, with a large number of people. If you promise to draw one of the three tries, your county magistrate will have any objection if you don't draw other wealthy families.

The inspector who was beating the gong walked back and forth, arranging everyone to be cautious and pay attention to safety.

More than 30,000 people were mobilized in the entire Dongguan, and the county magistrates and the county magistrates took action, carrying out the half-month repair of the official road, and completely renovated the disrepaired official road.

After the official road is closed, it will be the village roads of each village. Which village needs to build the village roads and organize it by itself. The government does not allocate money and grain, but will allocate some pickles. I don’t know where Xuzhou has made so many old pickles. The taste is authentic and salty, and people have the strength to work after eating.

Even Zhuge Jin likes this pickle.

Zhuge Liang came to his brother to catch the autumn wind again and touched some canned prawns.

"Brother, I have a suggestion. I don't know if you want to listen."

"If you have something to say, my brothers are still playing tricks, then I'm going to curse people."

"If it were just to build roads, Dongguan would not have any outstanding places, because Taishan County, Langya County, and Donghai County are also doing the same thing. Dongguan County has many rivers compared to other counties, such as water conservancy, some reservoirs, dams, canals, and irrigation of fields. The dry land will be converted into paddy fields, so that the output will increase by no means a little. You should know that the price of rice is far more than the price of sorghum."

Zhuge Jin nodded: "Not to say that, Erliang, your little brain is just good. Let's do this. I'll arrange for you to be responsible for the construction of water conservancy."

"If I don't do it, I still have to study. Doing things will delay my study at this time. Because I have to achieve political achievements in a short time, I don't need to build particularly large water conservancy projects, small or small ones. The streams in the mountainous areas are cut off from the waist and stored a few acres of land. Dig a canal and irrigate a piece of land. This is enough."
