Chapter 19

A moment later, opposite the large open space where Ying Gao was standing, there were two thousand serving people standing in a flash. They looked at Ying Gao in gorgeous clothes standing in front of them. Ying Gao looked at them. The eyes of these people were full of helplessness, indifference, fatigue, sadness, and various emotions, but they did not have any positive emotions. You can imagine what kind of burden this service was for the people of Daqin.

According to Ying Gao's previous understanding, all of these people were recruited from several surrounding counties to serve, with a period of one month. In other words, once the January period arrives, the deadline for these people is over.

However, Ying Gao also learned from the side that for major projects like the construction of the New Palace, in order to speed up the construction period or other reasons, the previous supervisors often found a reason to return the work after the January period, so as to detain them for a while. In this case, most of the serving people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

Ying Gao naturally would not let them serve for more than one year. He wanted to establish a good reputation for himself through these serving people. Fusu's reputation of virtuousness has been widely circulated among the Qin Dynasty's Guizhou, and his son Gao naturally could not fall behind.

After thinking about it, Ying Gaoqing cleared his throat and started his speech. But he had been waiting for this day for a long time. Facing these two thousand people, he had many wishful thinking.

"From today, you will work with me to build a new palace for my Great Qin Dynasty. When the new palace is completed, you will be witnesses to history!"

Obviously, such chicken soup is useless to the people of this era. Sometimes they can’t even have enough stomachs, and almost all the family have elderly parents and young children waiting for their care. Where can I have any leisure to witness the history of the Qin Dynasty with Ying Gao?

After saying this, Ying Gao also realized this problem. The one in his previous life obviously didn't work here, so he quickly changed his strategy and developed his second plan.

"To build a new palace, I have improved the saws of Daqin to save the strength of my people in Daqin. There are 100 new saws ahead, and you are divided into twenty teams to try this new saw. After half an hour, each team elected a captain to explain the advantages and disadvantages of this saw. The team that satisfies me can choose the job first!"

This sentence is much more effective than what he said before, especially when he heard that he could choose a job first, many people's eyes began to shine. Obviously, although it was building a new palace, the work was much worse. Some could be said to be effortless, while others could be exhausted, so they couldn't help but worry.

After Ying Gao finished speaking, he did not leave, but sat there, staring at the service group in groups of people, to see how they deal with the great benefits.

Half an hour passed through the tense attempts of two thousand people, but Ying Gao's eyes didn't even blink, and he kept staring at those people, which made the officials around him quite incomprehensible. Later, Ying Gao was simply sent away.

"The time has come. If you want to say something, you can come up directly. I will only give you five chances. The top five people can choose the jobs you do. But if you talk nonsense, you can just move the heaviest wood on this month's date!"

After saying this, the few people who were eager to try it out suddenly lost their previous courage. They were so timid that they no longer dared to come forward. The errand of transporting wood was almost the most miserable thing in the construction of the new palace. If one is not good, they would be so tired that they could not get up. After Ying Gao said this, how could those who wanted to take advantage of the situation and dared to come forward?

Ying Gao was not in a hurry. His eyes were repeatedly looking at several positions in the crowd, as if they were expecting something.

"Someone will give a review!"

After a moment of silence, an extremely loud voice came from the crowd. The sound was full of energy. I didn't expect it to be a person who was in trouble. But following the sound, a man with seven feet long, wide shoulders and thick back. The tendon on his chest stretched his short shirt with patches tightly. However, after careful look, although this man had a bit of a terrifying figure, his face was very handsome. He was about thirty years old and had no beard under his chin, which made people feel very comfortable at first glance.

After this person left the list, he bowed to Ying Gao slightly without saying anything nonsense and started his statement directly: "Although this saw seems to be the same as my ordinary saw in Daqin, once it is used, it is much easier. I originally needed 50% of the force to cut off ordinary wood, but by using this saw, it only takes less than 20% of the force. With this saw, the pain of building a new palace will definitely be reduced a lot. Improved people are also talented people!"

After hearing what this person said, there was no stage fright. Ying Gao heard that although his expression had not changed much, a trace of light appeared in his eyes.

This person was the only one that Ying Gao noticed among the two thousand people. This time, the saws provided to them were quite large. They originally wanted to let the two of them share a saw, but this person could actually pick up the saw with one hand and saw a piece of wood without any effort. With such arm strength, Ying Gao knew that even most of the well-trained Daqin soldiers did not have it.

"Where is from, and whose surname is? " Ying Gao suddenly asked after staring at the man.

"Someone comes from Xue County and is named... Huang Zhong!"

After hearing this, Ying Gao frowned, because when he said his name, he was about to say a word, but swallowed it back, and then he said another name. Others may not notice such details, but Ying Gao, who had been staring at him, actually noticed it.

Can such a well-organized person even say his own name wrong?

"The journey of Xue County is long, how many people have come?" Ying Gao asked calmly.

"I am the only one..." This time he answered quickly.

Ying Gao's eyes rolled and he returned to the queue. When he asked again, no one dared to step forward. The saw had only a few advantages, and all the so-called Huang Zhong told him about it at once. Naturally, the others did not dare to talk nonsense anymore, but they were afraid that Ying Gao would be sent to transport wood.

At this point, Ying Gao's two purposes for summoning them to the forefront were obviously accomplished. He sent people to assign jobs to those who did not speak, and the construction of the new palace began.
