The lady may not be human

Chapter 499 Opening Mountains, Building Roads

Kochi County also kindly persuaded Dong Nuan to be quite polite about it. She nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I know that."

Kochi County was about to say more, when Dong Nuan quickly said, "But, I have money!"

Kochi Prefecture: ? ! !

Okay, I almost forgot, this is a princess in the capital, I heard that he has a lot of business skills, presumably he has some family background.

But road construction is a long-term job, not only in Jing County, but also in the villages. This is a big project, and it will take a while, so maybe it won't be completed?
I think back then, Kochi County didn't have this kind of thinking, but unfortunately he had no money back then, so he couldn't do much repairs, so he could only do simple repairs every year.

Dongnuan said that he wanted to build roads, but he really didn't just talk about it.

In the next half month, she and Hanjianglou began to plan the road construction situation.

The first thing to be repaired must be Jing County, after all, the county seat is the face, so it must be repaired first.

The road from the county seat to the prefectural city is smoother, and the roads with the villages are smoother, and it is also convenient for everyone to walk, transport and so on.

"Fix this one first, no matter what, this is also an official road. Compared with other official roads, this one is not very popular." After discussing with Hanjiang Tower, Dong Nuan directly decided on one of them. .

There is more than one road from Jingxian County to Fucheng, but one is an official road. Unfortunately, Jingxian County is poor and has little money to maintain it.

Therefore, the official way looks like the earth way.

On this road, others take a look at it, and they don't have any in-depth thoughts.

So, repair, definitely have to repair!

Kochi County didn't even know that he was going back to his hometown in mid-June, so why did he stay until mid-July.

And there is the meaning of staying.

The problem is, the county magistrate's salary is still given to him, and Hanjianglou didn't compete with him for it.

In mid-July, the preliminary road map has been planned, and the next step is to prepare rocks, materials, and equipment.

Dong Nuan didn't think about it, and moved forward bit by bit.

Since it needs to be repaired, it must be done in one step.

She has spent all her money, so there is no need to try it step by step.

So, directly pave the mountain road and make cement.

Dong Nuan has long been familiar with the set of things from the Ministry of Industry.

What is poor today is nothing more than raw materials and fuel.

On this point, Dongnuan didn't go in vain in the past month. The villages in Jing County are full of treasures.

Dong Nuan discovered two rolling coal mines in a place called Huiguang Village under Jing County!
This surprised Dong Nuan very much, but it was also surprising enough.

Therefore, the final cement manufacturing site was directly built in Huiguang Village.

The Huiguang villagers didn't even know what happened. They only knew that in mid-July, the newly appointed county magistrate suddenly came over and posted a notice: recruiting.

25 Wen per person per day, and two steamed buns of miscellaneous grains for lunch.

This price is actually a good deal for a remote mountain village.

There are not many wealthy households in the nearby villages, and occasionally a few, the cost of hiring long-term labor is only about [-] yuan, and there are two stingy masters who only pay [-] yuan, and they don’t want to work.

For the villagers who have no extra money, fourteen cash is also money, so do it.

Now that Dongnuan has suddenly raised the salary, the first reaction of the villagers is...

"Impossible, which elder would be so kind, maybe he just lied to us, don't go!"

"That's right, the old man asked us to work, and then didn't pay us, how dare we make trouble?"

"Then who dares, don't go, don't go!"

……

Kochi County came to investigate the situation together, and he was a little embarrassed after hearing some villagers' comments.

When he was in office, he never did such a thing.

But when the first emperor was in power, a magistrate once came to do this kind of thing.

Of course, after His Majesty ascended the throne, the magistrate immediately turned cold, and in exchange for the magistrate Xu, he didn't do any major construction work.

However, the people have been bitten by snakes before, and now they are terrified.

So, no one dared to come.

Dongnuan is not in a hurry. If the villagers don't come, she still has people under her command.

Four yamen servants:?
No, there are only four of us, please cherish it, maybe one day there will be three left!

Dongnuan needs to be mined first, and then equipment construction, kiln construction, and experiments are carried out to see its final feasibility.

Every link needs people, especially the mining link, which requires a lot of manpower.

No villagers came in the first two days, so Dongnuan's staff could only do it themselves, and then the four government servants.

Yamen servants don't want to do it either, but at the county government office, at least they can still get a little salary every month, no matter how much it is, it can be regarded as a living.

So, let's do it first, and then talk if you can't hold on.

Dong Nuan must keep his word, he will give money if he says he will give money, and he will give steamed buns if he says he will give steamed buns.

All this happened at the foot of the mountain behind the village, so some people had nothing to do, so they ran to watch.

Then I found out, it really does.

"No, they must be paid by the yamen servants, otherwise there will be trouble."

"That's right, Mr. Gao is still there, maybe Mr. Gao let him go."

"No, let's take a look again, we can't be fooled, the homework is not done yet!"

……

The people watched for another three days, and then some people rebelled.

There are always some people whose family conditions are not good, and they are greedy when they look at the copper coins, and then they can't hold on, so they want to try it.

This kind of thing, one has two.

By the time the onlookers realized something was wrong, four traitors had already appeared in their village (...).

Not only did the traitors get to work, they ate miscellaneous grains and steamed buns, and they also received money.

"There are really copper plates, more than twenty, it's really hot!"

"That's right, look at it, look at it."

"My baby can add some clothes this year, it's not easy."

……

The villagers who got the money were very happy, and they vigorously promoted it after returning.

"The new old man, he keeps his word, and he really gives money. His wife, with a smiling face, looks like a good person at first glance. Go, go."

"That's right, go ahead and believe it when you get the money. At worst, it's a waste of a day."

"It's better than someone pressing your head and letting you do it."

……

For some things, once a traitor appears in the crowd, everyone's sense of belief will be shaken.

So, soon, the rest of the vacillating villagers joined in.

Even in the neighboring villages, some villagers who don’t have many fields and don’t have much farm work also came to ask, isn’t it possible for this village to do it?
"Of course, you can come if you want to." Shi Qing is now in full charge of this matter, and Dong Nuan didn't need to say more, he stood up.

Some women couldn't help but be moved when they saw it, especially when they saw that there were several young girls running around beside Shi Qing, they finally couldn't help coming over and asking: "What about that?" , can women do it too?"
