Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 338 Drag it out!kill
Most of these workers were originally recruited by Emperor Wanli to build the Qianqing Palace.

Originally, when Zhang Qingfeng did not propose to build the Qianqing Palace with reinforced concrete, the Qianqing Palace has been under construction for half a year now.

Now that Zhang Qingfeng wants to build the Qianqing Palace with reinforced concrete, some of the original wooden structures must be demolished.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Watching countless workers push the wooden frame of the Qianqing Palace to the ground, the countless craftsmen who built the Qianqing Palace felt very sorry.

"Zhou Zhanyin has accepted the construction of Qianqing Palace. I heard that there is a full budget of 200 million taels of silver. This time we should be able to earn some money from it." Someone said.

"Tsk tsk, 200 million taels, it's too extravagant to build a Qianqing palace. If these money were spent on the people affected by the disaster, there wouldn't be so many people starving to death." Someone sighed.

"Tch, the Tian family doesn't care about Xiaomin's life or death." Some people disdain.

"Don't discuss this, don't you want to live?" someone scolded.

"Zhou's palm print is here." At this moment, someone reminded me.

Under everyone's eyes, in the distance, a young eunuch is leading a large group of people coming from a distance.

These people are the construction leaders led by Zhang Qingfeng.

Some of them were the eunuchs who were originally responsible for the construction of the Qianqing Palace, and most of the others were found by Zhang Qingfeng from the outside. The reason why they were found from the outside was that these people knew how to use cement for construction.

With the development of the cement industry in recent years, more and more workers understand the function of cement.

When Zhang Qingfeng built Daming University of Technology, he taught many people to use reinforced concrete for construction.

For the construction of the Qianqing Palace this time, Zhang Qingfeng recruited the group of workers who had previously built the Daming University of Technology.

Qingfeng, the blueprint of Qianqing Palace, has been drawn. During this time, he has been discussing with the construction leaders how to construct it.

At present, the wooden foundation and frame built half a year ago are being demolished on the construction site, and the next step is to dig the foundation so that it can bear a greater weight of the building.

Today, all the foundations of the original wooden houses have been demolished, so Zhang Qingfeng came to the construction site mainly to measure the new foundation positions with a group of responsible persons.

It took several hours for Zhang Qingfeng to measure the exact location of the foundation, and then asked the workers to excavate.

According to Zhang Qingfeng's estimate, the foundation needs to be dug for at least ten meters, so that the stone layer can be dug.

"Uncle, you are working here, everything is going well? Is there any difficulty?"

Zhang Qingfeng started chatting with the workers while watching a group of workers excavating the foundation.

However, when they heard Zhang Qingfeng's question, the workers didn't know how to answer, and they were a little trembling.

Instead, a young man less than 20 years old said to Zhang Qingfeng: "My lord, there are no other difficulties, but whether the imperial court can pay our wages. We haven't received wages for several months. The family is a little bit stuck. .”

Hearing what the young man said, the expressions of several construction leaders around Zhang Qingfeng changed.

"What are you talking about? Don't tell lies to deceive Mr. Palm. Believe it or not, I will have you dragged out to beat you up?" A eunuch who was originally responsible for the construction of Qianqing Palace scolded the young man.

Hearing the eunuch's words, the young man trembled in fright, only then realized the seriousness of the situation, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me, I will not dare to do it later."

On the side, Zhang Qingfeng immediately looked at the performance of the middle-aged eunuch in front of him with indifferent eyes.

After the middle-aged eunuch scolded the young worker, he turned his head and found that Zhang Qingfeng was looking at him with unkind eyes, and he was startled.

"Zhou, Zhou's palm print, I..."

"Come here, drag this person out to beat fifty big boards." Zhang Qingfeng said to a group of guards around him, and he also gave a hint after speaking.

"Palm seal, spare your life, palm print, spare your life, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." Seeing Zhang Qingfeng's hint to the guard, the eunuch was immediately frightened.

"Drag on." Zhang Qingfeng yelled at the guards.

After hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, several of the guards responsible for protecting him left without saying a word, carrying the middle-aged eunuch. All the way, they could only hear the middle-aged eunuch's begging for mercy.

"When our family doesn't exist, you dare to threaten people in front of our family, and you're looking for death." Zhang Qingfeng looked at the other eunuchs lightly and said.

Hearing this, several eunuchs who were originally in charge of building the Qianqing Palace fell silent.

At the beginning, they came into contact with Zhang Qingfeng. Zhang Qingfeng was relatively modest no matter what he said or did. They didn't expect that losing his temper would be so scary.

A eunuch who crossed his path just once was immediately dragged out and beaten to death. How could they not be silenced?

"Tell me, the workers haven't been paid for several months?" Zhang Qingfeng asked several eunuchs who were silent.

"Palm, palm print, many craftsmen are conscripted by the imperial court, yes, they don't need to pay wages." A eunuch stuttered to Zhang Qingfeng.

The so-called labor force refers to the labor recruited by the court for free. Not only is there no payment, but if you don't want to do labor service, you have to pay the court.

"Labor labor? Are these workers forced labor?" Zhang Qingfeng asked again.

"Well, some of them are not." A eunuch replied.

"Isn't it paid for labor?" Zhang Qingfeng asked.

"No, no." Under Zhang Qingfeng's sharp eyes, the eunuchs didn't dare to lie.

"Hmph!" Zhang Qingfeng snorted, and then said: "From today on, everyone will cancel their labor service and change to an employment relationship."

"At the same time, all the workers who were building the Qianqing Palace will be paid five months' wages. After that, for every month they work, they will be paid one month's wages at the end of the month."

"Do you understand?" Zhang Qingfeng finally asked all the construction leaders.

"Understood." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, everyone could only nod.

"Now, I am responsible for the construction of the Qianqing Palace. All of your wages will be tripled." Zhang Qingfeng said to everyone.

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, some people showed joyful expressions on their faces.

"But!" Without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhang Qingfeng made a turning point, paused, and said to everyone seriously: "In the future, I don't want to see people deducting workers' wages and construction materials. .And shoddy goods, embezzlement of construction funds, etc. are not allowed, if you let me know who of you stretched your hand here, I'm sorry, let your family members collect your corpses!"

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, everyone's faces turned serious.

"Don't worry, Palm Print. The younger one will only take the wages he deserves and will never reach out to make money from it." A craftsman in charge whom Zhang Qingfeng found from outside the palace quickly assured Zhang Qingfeng.

"That's good, I'll put my words here for now, let's see what happens later." Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said.

After Zhang Qingfeng finished speaking, he chatted with some workers for a while and asked about their difficulties.
