There are so many disaster victims in the area, and many of them can't even afford to eat, so the applicants soon flocked to the site.

The registration area was immediately full, and a large number of people blocked the outside.

More than 300 people were accepted directly on the first day, and more than 200 people were recruited successively on the second day.

On the seventh day, more than 2,000 people were recruited.

After more than 800 people were recruited, the division of labor began.

In order to be able to manage order, Zhao Ze still kept a hundred Qin troops.

More than 100 officials from the local magistrate and county magistrate were called over.

More than 2,000 people worked together to build the river.

After some of the people got jobs, they also eased part of the economy in the city.

A few days later, Zhao Ze accidentally had an unexpected joy.

Compared with the previous Qin army, the construction of the entire river was twice as fast as before.

It is probably because this job is hard-won for these people, and those who have an average monthly salary of 30 taels, plus the monthly subsidy from Cao Ting, they are almost not short of money.

So I didn't take this job seriously, and started working lazily.

More than 2,000 soldiers built it for three full days, but only about 3 kilometers were repaired, and these 2,000 civilians only repaired for three days, and they have already repaired 10 kilometers.

The speed was almost three times that of the previous one, which surprised Zhao Ze very much. If this speed continues, the attack can be reduced by two-thirds.

Here, Hu Hai is still in Xianyang. After hearing the news that Zhao Ze sent those Qin troops back, he, like other officials, thought that Zhao Ze was crazy.

In their conception, how could those common people work as swiftly and hard as Qin soldiers.

For this reason, Ying Zheng scolded Zhao Ze in the court for making a fool of himself.

Now that the construction of the river in Jieshou is so important, how can the common people be allowed to do it? Isn’t this increasing the cycle of building the river?

But three days later, Ying Zheng received news from Jieshou City.

The river channel that had just started to be built had actually been built for 10 kilometers in the past three days. This news shocked the old officials of the court.

Zhao Gao asked in disbelief, "What, you can repair it so fast, even faster than those Qin soldiers?"

Li Si also said: "Impossible. Soldiers are more powerful in fighting than ordinary people. Building rivers is hard work."

Upon hearing the news, Ying Zheng directly took back the anger of three days ago.

At this moment, Xiang Da laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, no matter what method is used, as long as he can build the river channel by the end of August.

Zhao Ze discovered these after employing the people, they are real power.

I don't see them resting several times a day.

When I asked, several of them said with a simple and honest face: "We do any work on weekdays, and it only costs fifty Wen a month at most."

"As for helping the imperial court to build river channels, there is one tael of silver, so I dare not neglect, for fear of losing the job."

Knowing the reason, Zhao Ze was a little dumbfounded.

The common people worked here, and Zhao Ze did not skimp on his daily diet, and gave it directly according to Qin Bing's star.

For this reason, he found that many of the common people only ate half of the food after receiving it, and hid the rest, apparently to bring back to their families.

After discovering this phenomenon, Zhao Ze simply made the daily diet in the kitchen lighter, but increased the portion size.

In the past, according to the diet of Qin soldiers, it was basically one meat, two vegetables, two big white steamed buns or a bowl of rice.

In the past few days, it has been directly changed to five steamed buns or three bowls of rice.

Under such a change, the cost of the kitchen does not increase every day, and the workers who are working can also eat more every day.

...asking for flowers...

Although it's a bit short of food, at least it can fill your stomach.

A few days ago, Zhao Ze even saw a few people fainting from hunger on the construction site.

After the construction of the river gradually got on the right track, Zhao Ze started to work on the relief funds.

The money drawn by the imperial court to build the river must not be moved, and the remaining 10 million taels have already been allocated.

So he can only find a way from other places.

If he can bring the economy of Jinzhou and Hedan, he can also bring the economy of Jieshou.

But before that, they have to solve their food and clothing costs.

Zhao Ze rode a horse and walked almost all around Jieshou City, and re-planned the land that had been washed away by the flood and turned it into a topographic map.

In total, he counted that almost 10,000 houses needed to be rebuilt.

Most of the houses that have been washed away by the river are already in dire straits, and a large amount of wood and mud bricks will be needed to rebuild them.

He has considered the local terrain, most of the local area is yellow mud, so the local houses are built with yellow mud bricks.

This is why so many houses here will be washed away by the flood.

Most of the houses in Xianyang are built with stones as foundations, and then the houses are built with wooden piles.

Therefore, the houses built are very stable.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ze suddenly thought that although yellow mud alone is not enough, if it can be mixed with sand, it may be much stronger.

Although there are not enough stones, there is a lot of sand in the river.

Moreover, digging away the sand floating on the surface can also make the river sink.

Especially some time ago, there were frequent floods, and a lot of sand washed down from the upstream was piled up by the river.

Thinking of this, began to organize the common people to go to the sand.

Then he asked people to find a lot of yellow mud. .
