Tobero

Chapter 198

Where you need to spend money, you buy cheap things; where you need labor, almost all use free labor.Although the current expenses are somewhat difficult to maintain, even difficult, they are barely supported.

The corvée lasted only half a month, if it was longer, he would not be able to bear it, nor would the common people.

As for things going so smoothly, it was mainly because of his good wife.

Today's rich believe in doing good deeds.Especially those who have done bad things in the past, some who made a fortune not so righteously, some who have old people, children and sick people at home, and some who hope to live a long life. They all believe that doing good deeds can accumulate virtue for themselves.

However, people have the heart to do good, and they also need ways to do good.In the past, they all acted separately.

Whoever's elder has a birthday, a wave of clothes and a wave of medicine will be given away.

In winter, the common people can't survive, so they open a porridge shed to give porridge.

Whoever makes a lot of money will build bridges and pave roads.

What Xu Mingxu is doing now is completely opposite.He went to tell these people that we are doing this in the county and need everyone's help.He didn't work alone either. The interns assigned by Jiangdan Shushu and Guozijian, two of the top schools in Dahan, Tu Hao didn't really let them go to the construction site to dig rivers and pick mud, but let them go to the construction site. Follow Xu Mingxu... well, financing.

It can't be regarded as pure financing, but let them persuade more people to come up with free labor, including raising some rags and the like.

If it's just money, even these interns can raise a lot of money if they raise it casually.These students who are not short of money, try to ask for property from other people, but it is still worthless property, which makes these students who have a little bit of high-sightedness in their hearts stumble a lot.

At the beginning, they either couldn't help themselves, or couldn't find the direction, or didn't know how to speak, all of which made them experience a lot of embarrassment in a short period of time.

After the embarrassment, some of them realized something; some of them tried to change their roles after experiencing a short-term pain, changing themselves from a relatively high-status person to a role that asks others; Some people even inspired something like a sense of justice and a sense of mission; of course, some people felt that such behavior and work made them humiliated, even insulted.

In any case, the interns cooperated with the publicity of the local yamen, so that most people knew a way to do good.The key is to let many people know that digging the river with so much labor will bring great benefits to the local economy.

Whether it is the local people or wealthy businessmen, they all understand that digging the river is a good thing related to their own interests.

The corvee weather has continued to be fine these days, and the corvee manpower and material resources in Jing County are sufficient, coupled with the support and cooperation of all parties brought about by the publicity, it is only then that Tu Hao's construction site is thriving.

These officials protect each other, and they can do whatever they want.

Tu Mouse in the imperial study had an extremely sincere expression on his face, he was secretly amused by his good daughter-in-law, and at the same time muttered about the stinginess of the court.

Under the current social environment, the existence of the corvee system is understandable, but this does not mean that the common people have to sacrifice their lives and health as the price.

What is the population of the entire Han Dynasty now, and what is the average life expectancy?It is not uncommon for a large place to die after a natural disaster in the early years.Even under the power of the imperial court, some people moved from other places, but how long has it been?People have not yet reached the point of multiplying, and the basic rhythm of life in many places has not slowed down yet.

Under this premise, everyone is a very precious and precious resource.

If one more person survives, who knows if it will be a big cow?Even if you don't have a big cow in technology and academics, just one more ordinary farmer can produce more grain for the big man every year.

It's a pity that he won't say these words here.He knew in his heart that the emphasis on the common people was only on the lips of these dignitaries. In their hearts, they still thought that the common people were a bunch of pariahs, and they would die as soon as they died, and a bunch of them would be born soon anyway.

Tu Hao was powerless to change this perception, and he didn't need to confront these people.

He is only sixteen, the youngest of the group of people in front of him can be his father... He glanced at the butcher quietly, as if including his own father in it, this metaphor is a bit inappropriate...Anyway, he I can still do it for decades, and I can completely survive them!

After listening to Tu Hao's words, the monarchs and ministers in the imperial study were all lost in thought.

This time, they called Tu Hao over to explain that the intention was good intentions, and they didn't mean to ask any questions.

Although there were actually quite a few officials who lost their hats because of Tu Hao, in fact, many people knew in their hearts that Tu Hao was a very soft-hearted person.It is entirely predictable that Tu Hao would feel sorry for those people who were in corvée, and would do things out of their own pockets.

When the situation on the construction site came, they thought in their hearts that it was true.Letting Tu Hao come is actually to stop him from doing this.After all, this is a bottomless pit, and the flood control has only just begun, and it cannot be completed by relying on a butcher.

But they never expected that Tu Hao could really use such a small amount of money to achieve this level.

Yes, Tu Hao didn't take out the detailed accounts, and it was impossible for him to take out the accounts in a hurry.But he didn't have to lie either.

Compared with the previous few years, the imperial court is indeed a little richer.Unfortunately, the extra money will not be distributed to corvees for the time being.Even if it was distributed to the corvee, no one in the entire court could learn how to calculate and calculate one penny into two pennies like Tu Hao - many people put money in their pockets before it was too late!

Some ministers who had done this kind of behavior felt a bit of shame and reflection in their hearts.This is especially true for Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

He doesn't usually take care of things, but he has a "price" for doing things.That is, the filial piety given by the bottom is enough to make him turn a blind eye.

He used to be an official who was dedicated to the people, but since when, he no longer sees the people in his eyes...

No matter what they thought, Tu Hao hurried back to the county seat after explaining his affairs, and went to Pengcheng Printing House to get a set of forms on the way.

He came here on horseback today, which is not as comfortable as riding in a carriage, but it is the same as choosing to leave the car and drive a small electric donkey in later generations. Traveling is very free, the speed is not slow, and there is no need to find a parking space.

He came out of Pengcheng Printing House on a horse, and along the way, he saw many shops filled with bicycle racks.The traffic on the road is also a bit congested.He has seen only a few cities, but the roads in the capital are already very wide.Moreover, some stores, such as restaurants and restaurants, basically have their own yards, taking into account the functions of parking lots and gas stations (feeding horses).

Speaking of which, are there already that many people in Beijing who can afford a car?Many of these are horse-drawn carts, not donkey carts.

Tu Hao pondered in his heart, thanked the person who made way for him, walked out of the city slowly, and walked a certain distance on the official road before the horse could trot.

When he arrived in the county seat, it was much later than expected.He stopped by the construction site, put the form in the office, and went straight back to the back office.

Half a month later, the corvee was successfully completed, and the internships of several interns were not so satisfactorily ended.

Tu Hao called them all to him: "Here is a set of forms, you can fill them out, summarize your own gains and losses from this internship, and help me point out some shortcomings here. If you have some other ideas, you can also write them in On the report. Three days later, you can just hand it over to Mr. Lanyue and Mr. Qingfeng."

There were only ten interns in the first batch, five students each from Jiangdan Shushu and Guozijian.In just half a month, they came into contact with a life completely different from their own before, and all kinds of good and bad feelings were particularly deep.

Talented students have already brewed several articles in their minds, and they are just waiting to write them out as soon as the internship is over.

They have all heard about the internship report from their teachers, and now that they have received the blank report, they all look calm: "Yes, little butcher."

After Tu Hao handed out the internship report, he had nothing to do, and his expression was relatively relaxed: "Okay, it's still early in the morning. Go back and pack your things quickly. I'll have someone prepare a carriage, and I'll take you back in a while."

The interns breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, little butcher."

Although life on the construction site can learn many things, the conditions are of course not as good as school, and even worse than being at home. It is a good thing to be able to go back soon.The little butcher who was rumored to be particularly cruel didn't even draw their ruler.

What they don't know is that the internship report is divided into two parts.

Tu Hao watched the interns leave, turned around and returned to his office, and took out his share.There are various scoring options for the performance of the interns, and only the final summary comment needs a text description.He is not going to write too much.

In fact, the current internship report is still more in form than function.The future of these students is more determined by their respective backgrounds than by their own abilities.Of course, those who can be selected by the gentlemen to participate in this internship, at least they have no academic problems.In terms of other abilities, it is understandable that I am still a student after all, and there are always some immature places.

Tu Hao's comments to them were also very tolerant, mainly because he had a mentality that had nothing to do with himself.People are always divided into distant and distant relatives.

For example, Tu San, since he arrived in the capital, Tu Hao has been with him and taught him carefully.The things that Tu San can come into contact with are far better than these interns.What Tu Hao taught Tu San was far more than just a construction site.On the other hand, if Tu San made a mistake, he must be punished.

After he quickly finished writing the report, he saw Tu San knocking on the door and coming in, asking: "Everything on the construction site is almost arranged, can we have a meeting?"

Today's meeting is earlier than before.Nothing else, the construction site will be shut down.

Of course, this cannot be compared with the later generations who work until the end of the year.Jing County is still relatively north. Although they now have some engineering shovels, the tools are relatively sharp, but the colder the weather, the more frozen the soil. Movement, as well as injuries caused by severe cold.

The results of corvee labor also exceeded Tu Hao's original expectations. After calculating the progress of the project and the weather, he decided to take a vacation early.The remaining problem is that there will be some vacant rooms in the temporary work shed...

Several foremen walked back and chatted together: "I didn't expect to have a holiday so early this year."

"It's time to go back and do something."

"Hey, if you didn't have a job at this time before, and you couldn't survive the year, how could it be so easy?"

"That's right. What I did before is much more tiring than now."

"The money is still low."

"Thanks to Mr. Xiaotu. I heard that the river has to be dug to the border, and I will spend my whole life!"

Tu Hao was a bit hot in the office, and seeing that they hadn't come in, he came out to take a breath, and after hearing this, he said, "How can it take a lifetime to dig a river? It will be done in a few years."

The author has something to say:

Little Mouse ̄ω ̄: Sir, have the students’ internship reports been handed in yet?

Mr. ⊙?⊙: All handed in.

Little Mouse ̄ω ̄: Give me a look.

Sir (⁠”⁄): What do you want?
