Chapter 156 156 Father, look, you are in a hurry
Chapter 156 Father, look, you are anxious again
Zhu Mingxiu was no longer as timid as before. She began to take the initiative to talk to Wang Buli and share what she was doing during this time.
The barrier between the two was further broken.
The relationship is generally developing in a positive and positive way.
"I heard that you saved Brother Wen Hui?"
"Correction, it was my father who treated him, and I was the one who did it."
Wang Buli was lying on the couch to rest. This was the prince's territory, so there was nothing wrong with him relaxing.
Zhu Mingxiu was sitting on the other side of the small table, supporting his chin with one hand and listening to Wang Buli happily.
She felt that what Wang Buli said was really interesting, much more interesting than others.
None of the eunuchs, maids, and guards in the palace dared to speak.
Even her older brothers didn't play with her much.
Although she is the eldest daughter, if there are more younger and cuter girls, these little people will get more attention.
Now that she was accused of getting married by her father, and after giving away ice cream, there were more villains surrounding her.
Because the emperor would not order the palace people to purchase such things specifically.
I heard that it was sent by my brother-in-law, so I wanted to pester my sister to get more, but I didn't have enough.
Zhu Mingxiu was thinking wildly and divergently as he listened to Wang Buli's words.
After having a meal at noon, Wang Buli took another nap before bidding farewell to Zhu Mingxiu and going back.
However, Prince Zhu Biao came after dinner. He was very dissatisfied with Wang Buli's murderous nature.
"What do you think about cleaning up the garbage pile in Lotus Alley and building a public bathhouse next to it?"
"Most of the garbage in the gully can be burned. If it is inappropriate to waste firewood at will, it is better to use it to boil hot water so that people can take a bath and maintain hygiene. It is also semi-public to avoid waste."
Wang Buli didn't know why Zhu Biao had an angry look on his face today.
Could it be that he was fighting with Lao Zhu just now?
Probably.
"In addition, the capital will not produce garbage in the future?"
Wang Buli explained to Zhu Biao again that he could give some old and weak people a sign to clean the house and clean the streets, giving them a living and making them more stable.
The collective transportation of garbage here can be regarded as a kind of income to avoid relying solely on government relief. "
After hearing this, Zhu Biao was actually satisfied.
He knew that Wang Buli meant well, but he never thought that his attitude towards the barbarians would be so cruel.
The suzerain country needs to be generous, otherwise it will lose its grace.
He is a barbarian, and by arguing with them, he has lowered his status as a suzerain.
They are not worthy of our attention.
Now the Ming Dynasty's first priority is to stabilize the world and destroy the Yuan Tatars, and the rest must be put aside later.
"Just do your best. I will ask the experienced craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with you."
Zhu Biao encouraged Wang Buli a few more words, and he wanted to go to receive the Ryukyu envoy.
After staying in the palace for a while today, Wang Buli's memorial was approved.
Both the emperor and the prime minister Hu Weiyong gave great support.
With the support of the court, first of all, the jails of the Jiangning County government were effectively cleaned up.
At the same time, scribes also began to work hard to write notices.
They simply explained what Wang Buli meant, and then went around to preach.
Nowadays, Wang Buli, who is a ninth-rank official, is more recognized by the county government in Jiangning County than a county magistrate who is a sixth-rank official. Who wants his backer to be the emperor?
The people from the Military and Horse Department got the news from the Ministry of War and immediately began to cooperate. The commander of the Military and Horse Department came over and asked Wang Buli how he had arranged it.
Wang Buli didn't shirk it. Since everyone from the emperor to the prime minister heard that they were mobilized to do this, he took people from the Ministry of Works and the Army and Horses Division to walk around Jiangning County first.
For the sorting of ditches, we will first make a picture album and then open them up. As for Shangyuan County, we will wait for Jiangning County to finish the work, sum up experience, and then let them do it.
During his visit, Wang Buli decided to plan some public toilets. Of course, the excrement formed in the end would also belong to the county government.
There used to be dung bullies, but now the government is taking action.
The dung tyrants also have to put their tail between their legs and be a human being until they have their own territory.
Wang Buli's policy was actually most popular with the people living on the streets, because they were the ones responsible for the smelly ditches, and some people even took the initiative to join in the cleaning.
Naturally, Wang Buli would not simply express his understanding to these people, but would do so in the name of the county government.
They were given a piece of paper with a seal in public and told them that after the bathhouse was built, they could take a free bath with this note and feel some of the fruits of their labor without sweating in vain.
Wang Buli's behavior inspired many people's enthusiasm for work.
In the past, people worked for free and did corvee labor. Now, if you work, it doesn't work for free. You can enjoy it for free, the fruits of your hard work.
This makes ditch cleaning more efficient.
However, the construction of the bathhouse was a bit behind the times.
Some garbage was piled there and exposed to the sun, emitting a peculiar smell.
Many people who were engaged in civil engineering (corvee labor) were still working under the strong sun, and their skin was burned to death.
Seeing this, Wang Buli went to Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce who was supervising the work, and asked these people to stop and rest for two hours to escape the scorching heat at noon.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not regard those who worked in civil engineering as human beings. He did not regard himself as a normal person, let alone treat others as human beings.
What's more, these people who work in civil engineering were originally low-level cattle and horses in ancient times.
Yuan Wailang felt very embarrassed after listening to Wang Buli's words.
"It doesn't matter. I have full authority to direct this matter. If you obey orders, I can't blame you."
Wang Buli pretended to hold his hands in the direction of the palace:
"Even His Majesty will sympathize with these people's difficulties."
"Wang Dian Shi Gaoyi."
After the Yuanwailang hurriedly saluted, he announced to the group of people who were working hard that he was leaving.
After hearing this order, the group of people working in the field of civil engineering all cheered.
The next day, Wang Buli ordered people from the county government to bring buckets of boiled mung bean soup mixed with ice cubes to various construction sites, and asked everyone who worked to come and drink a bowl. Quench your thirst.
Those who work in civil engineering are simply grateful for Wang Buli's operation.
"Your Majesty shows sympathy for you and specially asked me, my son-in-law, to reward you. If you want to thank you, thank Your Majesty.
During the construction period, as long as it doesn't rain, these iced mung bean soups will be enough.
After I finish my work, I will buy some big fat pigs to stew for you, and reward you with some pieces of meat. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
It can be said that these people who serve as corvees do the most comfortable work in their lives.
Not only do you not have to work in the middle of the day to avoid the scorching heat, but you can also drink the iced mung bean soup that only rich families have.
Guan Jian was still full.
The food ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang for these days was actually quite low. The craftsmen had one liter of rice per day, and the long-term workers had about 1.5 liters per day.
Most of them do physical work.
Zhuge Liang could still eat three liters of rice every day, but Sima Yi concluded that he was overworked and would not live long.
This group of craftsmen worked as corvees for the Ming Dynasty officials, so they were starving and had to subsidize themselves to buy food.
Wang Buli also chatted with his civil engineering colleagues from Daming during their breaks.
He found that these people were treated extremely poorly and did not get much rest throughout the year.
Today's Nanjing City has not yet formed a large scale and is always under construction.
Most of them were lured to Nanjing by documents issued by officials from the Ministry of Industry, and 1,200 people from around the capital.
The date of arrival in the capital was written on the document, but they were not told to start work immediately, but to wait for half a month before starting work.
After their service is over, they cannot leave home on time.
Wang Buli immediately discovered the loopholes in this behavior. Someone in the Ministry of Industry embezzled these people's Anjia banknotes and monthly payments!
Because when officials apply to the court to receive the money, it is calculated based on the date on the checkout document, while the payment to the craftsmen is based on the official date of work.
They eat this time difference!
Wang Buli frowned and kept it in mind.
What a shame, these corrupt officials.
They even have to drink a few sips of human blood to pay for civil engineering work. They really deserve to die!
The first person to know about Wang Buli's behavior was Xue Xiang, Minister of Industry.
He stroked his beard, listened to Yuan Wailang's report, and was extremely satisfied with Wang Buli.
In the second year of Hongwu (1369), Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to establish the capital in Linhao (later Fengyang Mansion) and began to build the central capital city.
After six years, this huge project ended in failure.
The main reason for the unfinished project: the craftsmen who were conscripted to serve in Fengyang were miserable, and they used the method of "Yanzhen" to curse Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Empire to collapse quickly.
During the project, not only the craftsmen but also the soldiers often contracted diseases and died, or the sick were not treated, and there was no place to bury them.
Especially in the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to Fengyang Imperial City and sat inside, as if someone was fighting with weapons under the roof, which made Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy.
As the supervisor, Li Shanchang explained that this phenomenon was caused by the craftsmen using the method of "wearing down". Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to kill all these craftsmen!
Before he became emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe in these things at all.
But after he became the emperor, he became extremely afraid of these things, as if they would really happen.
No one dared to speak, except Xue Xiang, who was not afraid of the authority of Mr. Han.
He stood up and retorted, saying that killing someone because of a family dispute would not be in compliance with the law if this was not the reason in the end.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought what he said made sense, and then ordered all the craftsmen to be castrated. As punishment, the lives I spared are in line with national law, right?
Xue Xiang also advised that if the craftsmen were castrated, they would become useless people. It would be better to whip them and let them continue to work for the Ming Dynasty, which would be the best punishment.
Zhu Yuanzhang then agreed not to kill anyone.
Then he gradually gave up the idea of setting the capital in Linhao.
Because he began to believe in the idea of believing in the theory of Feng Shui that it is better to believe in something that exists than to believe in something that does not exist, he gave up on Zhongdu City, which was almost completed.
Even if it's a matter of speculation, it just doesn't violate taboos.
Xue Xiang secured his position as Minister of War, and Zhu Yuanzhang planned to transfer him to Peiping to serve as chief envoy.
Because Peiping is an important place.
Lao Zhu attaches great importance to it.
This was why Zhu Yuanzhang later killed many heroes before he died. Looking around, no one could support his grandson, so he promoted his fourth son and told him to guard the gate.
Because this is the Zhu family and they are worthy of trust.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang knew what Wang Buli had done, and he calculated the day when he would enter the fairyland.
As a result, Wang Buli was always at the construction site supervising the work, but he was never seen sleeping.
It made Zhu Yuanzhang a little uncomfortable!
