Chapter 133 Construction begins! ! (page 12)
Recently, what is the busiest thing in Shandan County?
This is the most lively event for the county government to build a bridge in ten days! !
More than ten days had passed since the last heavy rain, and the county government suddenly posted a recruitment list, intending to find people who could build bridges.
Everyone thought it was an opportunity, so they gathered around the bulletin board and waited for it to be revealed after reading the requirements. Unexpectedly, after reading it, everyone would shrink their heads and pretend to be quail, not daring to say that they were going to reveal the list.
Three days have passed, five days have passed...
The people who were squatting beside the bulletin board waiting to watch the excitement still didn't wait for anyone to reveal the list.
Just when the people thought it was absolutely impossible to accomplish this, one morning, the sound of gongs sounded throughout the county.
The officers beat gongs and patrolled the streets, singing loudly the announcement issued by the county government: Calling in a large number of carpenters, stoneworkers and laborers! ! ! Paycheck is due on a daily basis! ! !
Some people are confused: "Master! Why did the county government suddenly recruit people? But is there any big project?"
The officer raised his eyelids and snorted: "Building a bridge in ten days is naturally a big project!!"
"Ouch——!!"
Is it really possible to build a bridge in ten days? ?
Due to the heavy rain, the carrying capacity of the county town has already exceeded the limit. Many people blocked the outside of the county and complained. If the county magistrate hadn't sent troops to guard it, I don't know how much turmoil it would have caused.
However, the effect of coercive suppression is getting weaker and weaker, the tension between soldiers and civilians is rising, and the atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier.
The best policy is to unblock it as soon as possible.
"Oh no! Where can I register to get a job!!"
The officer banged the gong heavily: "Those who want to be called to work should quickly go to the county office to register!! Work will start tonight!!"
When everyone heard it, it turned out to be true. You signed up during the day and started working at night? !
Many people are not just for the few wages, but just out of curiosity.
When I arrived at the gate of the county government office, I saw a huge crowd of people in front of the normally solemn county government office. Most of them came to watch the excitement, but they couldn't help but look at each other with excitement.
going or not? going or not?
go! Go check it out!
More and more people are coming to the county government office.
The county government office was crowded, and several petty officials who usually did paperwork were in charge of registration today.
"What's your name? Where do you live?!"
"Press fingerprints!!"
"Next!!"
"Take the sign and gather at the Ruoshui Old Bridge in the east of the city on time at 1:00 p.m. tonight!!"
The junior officials were very fast, waving their brushes and writing down the applicants' information in the blink of an eye.
In the courtyard of the county government office, Mrs. Hong was busy checking various information and approving various orders with Hong Yu's seal.
"Kerosene, rice, water...these things must be transported in advance, and the dressing room must be dug in advance!"
In large projects, the most basic guarantees are food, clothing and excretion problems. If these problems are not solved, the project will not continue no matter how many people there are.
People kept coming in and out of the meeting hall. Mrs. Hong sat firmly at the desk and carefully checked every pick-up list and deployment order.
"The construction deadline is tight, have all the craftsmen been notified?!"
"Go back to Madam, the guards have come to tell you that if they are not there by noon, they will be forcibly captured."
Mrs. Hong's eyes were firm: "The situation is special now. Even if they use violence, they have to be taken to the river!"
Recruitment work is in full swing, and the place where the new bridge is about to be built is also very busy.
The riverside was originally a patch of farmland. Due to the flooding of the river, a large amount of silt, sand and stones washed away the crops in the field. After the river water receded, the crops in the field were severely damaged, leaving only patches of bare open space. It was destined to be nothing this year.
The county government expropriated the vacant land in exchange for exempting it from taxes this year.
The soldiers cleared a huge open space and then directed the carriages to the open space.
The carriage floor was filled with long, round pieces of wood, which were urgently requisitioned from various lumber mills in the county.
After the bark is peeled off one by one, the smooth trunk is exposed. After several years of drying, the water in the wood has evaporated almost, making it a good building material.
Along the lively river, there are people directing, guarding, digging holes, and building structures...
There are also people...in the sedan.
An indigo-blue sedan stands by the mouth of the Broken Bridge. Four sedan bearers guard the sedan, looking a little idle.
Father Li stood guard by the sedan chair, his eyes closely following Li Sanlang on the river bank.
Li Sanlang took a cloth ruler and measured and fixed points by the river according to the method taught by Ji Qingyue.
The sun was scorching, and there were no trees to cover the river. Dad Li took out the baggage he was carrying and took out the oilcloth to build a simple tent for the bearers to take shelter.
The sedan and the bearer were borrowed from Tai'an Tower. When shopkeeper Qin heard that Ji Qingyue wanted to take charge of building the bridge, he had the sedan ready without saying a word.
The bearers carried the sedan into Ji Qingyue's house, parked it under the main eaves, and then retreated to the gate to wait according to regulations. When they took the sedan out again, it was obviously much heavier.
Li Sanlang and Uncle Li followed the sedan, talking to the people inside through the curtain of the sedan.
It was probably Ji Qingyue who was talking, and Li Sanlang responded.
The sun was shining in the sky, and many large oilcloth sheds were erected in the open space. A wide oilcloth was supported by four wooden sticks, and the four corners were tied with ropes. The other end of the rope was tied with stones to fix it.
After a long time, many people carrying wooden boxes and cloth bags walked towards the river. They did not look like ordinary people who came to watch.
Some are willing, some are cursing, some are silent...
They are all craftsmen in the county. They were ordered by the county government in the morning to build a bridge by the river.
Although the county government does not refuse to give money, this is not a question of money, but a completely impossible task! !
Build a bridge in ten days? ! After all, it was that arrogant young man who dared to do this! !
Regardless of their unwillingness, the craftsmen came to the river one after another and stood under the cloth shed waiting for instructions.
Most of them are a combination of experienced elders and juniors, and families who have been craftsmen for generations have come. The master who accepted the apprentice has brought a group of young apprentices... and took the initiative to bring the tools at hand.
If you don't take the initiative, it will be very embarrassing if you are captured by force. People who understand this truth have already arrived at the scene.
After a while, a young man came to the construction site holding a bundle of paper. He first looked at the sedan by the river, and then at the craftsmen gathered under the shed for shade.
With just one glance, he knew that not everyone was there yet.
"Hello Le Alang!" The soldiers brought a big table and set up a chair.
Le Fei carefully put down the drawings and glanced at the craftsman next to him: "The time has come. Please wait here for a moment. I will invite someone to come over and explain the drawings to you in detail." After saying this, he moved toward the sedan by the river. Go.
The craftsmen saw "Le'alang" respectfully asking for instructions from the people in the sedan chair, and then the bearers lifted the sedan chair and walked towards the cloth shed.
At this time, there was a roaring sound outside the construction site. I saw the police officers holding a group of people and dragging them to the scene. "Hey! The county government is so unreasonable!! We didn't want to come, but they dragged us here with coercion and inducement!!"
