Ming Zuo

Chapter 680 The charm of construction [Ask for a monthly ticket! 】

"These people came to Shandong from all over the Ming Dynasty to make a living."

Chen Zhi didn't feel any sense of accomplishment for successfully organizing the migration of tens of thousands of people, as if she had done a trivial thing.

"Before organizing them to move here, the government first set up resettlement sites every fifty miles along the route. Food, bedding, drinking water, and doctors are also prepared at each resettlement site. No matter who suffers from a serious illness, they can get it quickly. Healing. Only by doing this can these people be brought here intact."

He said it easily, but Sun Shenxing and the others seemed to be listening to a scripture from heaven.

The three knew that behind these simple words, there were actually sufficient material preparations from all over Shandong, the benevolence to truly treat people as people, and the super high efficiency that the Ming court did not possess.

This can be achieved by only relocating tens of thousands of people. What if tens of thousands of troops are mobilized during a war?

Thinking of this, the three of Sun Shenxing shuddered.

The migration of tens of thousands of people is just the beginning.

There are still more problems waiting to be solved.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dang Huanchun led a young man to the people.

"Fellow folks, my name is Dang Huanchun, and I am the mayor of Yizhou. In the past, they were all called magistrates, but from now on, everyone should call me mayor. The person next to me is the local magistrate of Lanshan County. Mao Hui, everyone should remember this face, if you need anything in the future, just look for him."

When the people heard this, they were all very surprised.

All of them are not local people in Shandong, but have recently fled from various places in Ming Dynasty and came to Shandong.

Just because I heard that Shandong is rich and everyone has food to eat.

Unexpectedly, they were managed as soon as they entered Shandong.

No matter where they come from, they are first brought to a place where they are concentrated and isolated from the outside world.

In the concentration point, they first have to take a shower, and then change into new clothes.There are also doctors who check them to make sure that they have no diseases.

After doing this, they will not be let go, but will continue to be managed intensively for fifteen days.

At the beginning, the common people were very afraid of this approach, not knowing what was waiting for them.

But in addition to not being allowed to run around, the food, housing, and drinking are all good, which gradually made them feel at ease.

They didn't know that these measures were all proposed by Zuo Menggeng.

Just because there are plagues all over Ming Dynasty, Zuo Menggeng is afraid that these outsiders will bring the disaster to Shandong.

These people who had completed the initial transformation happened to catch up with the development of Yizhou, so they were all sent here.

Although they walked hundreds of miles in a row, but because there was food and drink along the way, and there were people to take care of their injuries and pains, there was not a single casualty among these people, and they all walked to the place intact.

Knowing that the person standing in front is actually the local magistrate, everyone was quite scared.

That is the terrifying Master Qingtian.

However, the official spoke very kindly, which made everyone feel at ease.

To arrange for these people, local officials have to come forward.

Although Mao Hui was young, Dang Huanchun still gave him this opportunity.

Everyone knows that in the future Shandong's territory will be infinitely large, and there will be a large number of officials needed.

But whether an official is qualified or not, the impact on the people will be very different, life and death.

Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity, senior officials in Shandong like to train their subordinates very much, hoping that they will become talents as soon as possible.

Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Mao Hui.

Not only because of the training of his immediate boss, Dang Huanchun, but also because Zuo Menggeng and Chen Zhi were both present.

As long as he does a good job, he will be in the eyes of the bosses, and he will definitely have a bright future.

Mao Hui cheered up and talked about the first step of the plan.

"The big guys have all come from far away, and now there is no house. Seeing that winter is coming, there is no place to live here, but people will freeze to death. So, the big guys have to work hard to build the house first .I invited the old masters from the Lu Group to come over, and we will build the brick factory by ourselves, burn the bricks and tiles by ourselves, and then build the house by ourselves. The big guy said, will it work?"

When the people heard this, they were all astonished.

The officials here want to build brick houses for them?
Although I need to work by myself, it is a brick and tile house!
Where did they live in their hometown before?
There is not even a broken thatched house, and a piece of rotten wood is a treasure.

Can they also live in a brick house?

"Master Qingtian..."

A commoner didn't believe it and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Mao Hui.

"We don't have Lord Qingtian here, only the mayor and the county magistrate. You don't need to kowtow when you see us, you have something to say."

The man was going to kowtow, but when he learned that he didn't even need this, he couldn't help but smirk.

"County magistrate, how much will it cost for us to live in a brick house?"

Mao Hui smiled.

"We lack everything here, except for the soil. How much can we burn bricks and build our own houses? It depends on whether you are willing to do it."

The people immediately chattered.

"How can I not do it?"

"We don't have anything, we just have a lot of strength, and we will do whatever the county magistrate says."

The common people are simple, but not stupid.

Living in a good house through one's own labor, if you don't grasp such a great thing, you can just find a rope and hang yourself to death.

Since the common people had no objections, Mao Hui invited the old master out.

This old master is one of the earliest brick and tile craftsmen of the Lu family, and his craftsmanship is very good.

However, the Lu family has now shifted their business focus to cement, and has gradually begun to abandon the production of bricks and tiles, leaving these master craftsmen without work.

After Zuo Menggeng learned about it, he simply discussed with Lu Hao, took over all these craftsmen, and then assigned them to various places to build brick and tile factories.

Now the whole of Shandong is a big construction site, with projects everywhere.

There is simply no limit to the demand for bricks and tiles.

This batch of brick and tile factories has really solved a big problem.

Yizhou needs to build plantations and factories, and build houses for future workers. Obviously, it also needs a brick and tile factory.

The master's name was Dong Decheng, and he was originally an ordinary craftsman in the Lu family, earning hard money.

But now that he was sent to Yizhou and became the director of a brick and tile factory all of a sudden, he couldn't be too happy, he was several years younger.

With the support of Dang Huanchun and Mao Hui, Dong Decheng divided the people into several parts.

One part was digging the foundation on the bank of the Dongmao River, the other part was packing up the wood under his guidance, and the other part was burning charcoal.

The common people are all very obedient for their new residence, and they are very satisfied with their work.

A brick and tile factory took shape in just two or three days.

Sun Shenxing and the other three watched the whole process from the sidelines.

Seeing the originally barren river beach become so vibrant in a short period of time, they finally realized a huge force that they had never known before.

"The vicissitudes of life are indeed admirable, but what is it compared with this man who will conquer the sky?"

Sun Shenxing was greatly infected, and the old man was talking about being a teenager, so he rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the army of laborers to experience the charm of construction for himself.

　There is a power outage today, the update is a little late, sorry!
