Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 514 Mass Foundation
In the winter month of AD [-], there was heavy snowfall.

The capital city of Wangjing is covered in silver and covered with white snow. This is the most leisure time of the year for the residents in this cold winter month. It is very comfortable for the acquainted neighbors to walk around the streets, drink and chat in the house with the fireplace.

Compared with ordinary residents drinking and chatting, Lin Chuan, as a high-ranking official of the dynasty, is still busy outside. The straight road he presided over has been built in the province of Silia. Stimulated by food and money, more than 100 million refugees have developed their hard-working skills. Spirit, in just one month, hundreds of miles of straight roads have been built.

Another part of the refugees went to the Sanggan River area to divert the water from the Sanggan River to several northern provinces through irrigation canals, hoping to turn these areas into grain-producing areas and change the water shortage situation in the northern region.

These two projects are huge projects for the newly stabilized Far Eastern Dynasty, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources. Even the emperor of the dynasty in its heyday did not dare to have such boldness.

The original provincial roads in the Far East Dynasty took 50 years to build to the current scale, connecting the various provinces together.

Although there are many difficulties, the dynasty is helpless in the face of millions of refugees. It can only follow Lin Chuan's suggestion to start these two huge projects that have never been seen before or since, so as to solve the refugee problem. Of course, they have achieved remarkable results. It is inseparable from Lin Chuan's hard work.

First of all, the refugees who are poorly clothed and hungry only need food to survive, and their wages are two-thirds lower than usual, which saves a lot of expenses from the root.

Second, under the organization and coordination of Lin Chuan, all the refugees were organized and managed according to the model of the army. Each flag regiment and regiment was responsible for a section of road, which not only facilitated management, but also ensured the quality of the project.

Thirdly, Lin Chuan asked the refugees to elect themselves and accept the supervision of the refugees. They were inspected by officials of the UNHCR and spied by the Office of Supervision. This ensured that there would be no corruption and no waste A grain of grain, a gold coin.

Fourth, Lin Chuan set up a good incentive mechanism, reward and punishment system, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of refugees to work and ensured that they completed their work tasks on time and with quality.

It was precisely because of Lin Chuan's organization and coordination that although the two projects were huge, they consumed very little money and food, which severely slapped the high-ranking officials of the dynasty in the face.

At the beginning of the construction of the project, the high-ranking officials of the dynasty clamored endlessly. They preached that Lin Chuan would not be able to complete such a huge project without tens of billions of gold coins.

And they sneered at Lin Chuan, waiting to see Lin Chuan's jokes, wanting to see how the formerly high-ranking inspector general fell from the altar and became a laughing stock.

Even some experts are not optimistic about Lin Chuan. After all, the comprehensive project of the dynasties did not cost hundreds of millions of gold coins, and Lin Chuan's plan is too large, and in their view, it is an impossible project.

In the face of the skepticism and cynicism of the senior officials and experts of the dynasty, Lin Chuan shut them up with practical results, which is strength.

The section of road from Xilia to Wangjing has been built, and Lin Chuan is flying northward surrounded by guards on the wide and flat straight road.

The progress of the project has entered the regular stage, various systems have been perfected, and managers at all levels perform their duties. Lin Chuan is not on the construction site to supervise, and they can also construct in an orderly manner according to the plan. This is Lin Chuan's brilliance.

The road from Xilia Province to Wangjing originally took about a week, but because of the straight road, it only took Lin Chuan two days to arrive at Wangjing City from the capital of Xilia Province, which was shortened by half. Time has initially highlighted the benefits of straight roads.

In Lin Chuan's vision, the entire Far Eastern Dynasty needs at least four such straight roads, so that it can better control the vast territory of the Far Eastern Dynasty.

But at present, these are some ideas of Lin Chuan. After all, with the current capabilities of the Far East Dynasty, building such a straight road is already the limit of its capabilities. If other officials were to supervise the construction, the cost of money and food might be several times higher.

"Wang Jing's important place! Come and stop!"

The guard soldiers of Wangjing City stood in the wind and snow, and when they saw a cavalry galloping, they shouted to stop from a distance.

Wang Jingcheng, the capital of the Far Eastern Dynasty, has recovered from the chaos of war and restored its former solemnity.

Lei Feng stepped forward to submit the customs defense documents, and after strictly clarifying his identity, the cavalry team was able to enter the city smoothly.

"Salute!" Seeing the young Lin Chuan surrounded by black armored cavalry, the officer guarding the city gate shouted in awe, fisting his chest with his right hand as a military salute.

The rest of the guard soldiers also saluted neatly, saluting the cavalry who returned from the wind and snow trek.

The guard's salute was beyond Lin Chuan's expectation, because he was not familiar with these internal guards, and their commander Zhao Feng even had a confrontation with him, but out of a soldier's instinct, he slowed down his horse and returned the same salute.

Only when the cavalry had gone away did the officer guarding the city gate put down his hand, looked at the cavalry who disappeared at the corner of the street, and looked away for a long time.

"Sir, why do we salute them?" A young soldier asked puzzledly.

The gate guard officer replied: "It was Mr. Lin Chuan who just passed by."

Hearing the officer's answer, the rest of the soldiers all looked in the direction of the disappearing cavalry, in awe.

Perhaps the high-level officers of the Internal Guard are as hostile to Lin Chuan as their commanders, but for the soldiers at the grassroots level, Lin Chuan is their benefactor.

After the implementation of the tax increase and tax reduction plan proposed by Lin Chuan in the military and political conference room, the taxes of the people in the dynasty were reduced by nearly half. While they were rejoicing, they were also grateful to Lin Chuan who proposed this plan. A longevity tablet was erected.

Lin Chuan didn't know that a small act of his left an indelible impression on the hearts of the people of the entire Far Eastern Dynasty and gained a solid mass foundation.

These soldiers of the Internal Guard received letters from their families and knew the news of the tax reduction at home. For the officials, the tax was just a number.

But for these low-level people, taxes are a heavy burden on them. Most of the time, a year of hard work is not enough to pay taxes. Lin Chuan understands the people's sentiments, reduces their burdens, and makes their lives better. So they are grateful to Lin Chuan and always remember Lin Chuan's kindness.

This is like a butterfly effect. Lin Chuan's inadvertent small action not only won the love of the people, but also indirectly won the support and love of the soldiers at the grassroots level. mass base.

Of course, Lin Chuan didn't know all of this. When he first proposed this plan, he just wanted to change the taxation structure of the Far Eastern Dynasty, so as to pave the way for the commercial development of the Dynasty.
