At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 208 Yang Guang: A Group of Troubles

After Fang Xuanling was persuaded, He Chou immediately mobilized craftsmen and held a meeting to inform them of the project of the air bridge.

Without exception, everyone was terrified.

They had never heard of this project, had never seen it, and it sounded incredible.

Before entering Wanmin City, they all had experience in building bridges.

But all the bridges built are ordinary.

That is, a stone bridge over a small river.

Building bridges between mountains, such things, they dare not even think about.

But... when He Chou demonstrated the feasibility to them, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

As He Chou said, they will create an unprecedented craftsmanship!
"The highest level of a craftsman is to change the world and help the world and the people!"

He Chou encouraged them with this slogan, pulled a hundred experienced craftsmen to work overtime with him, and began to measure and rush to make the construction drawings of the major peaks.

Among them, the cooperation of other departments is naturally indispensable.

For example, Cui Ji's Department of Geography, he has all the topographical information and data about the inside and outside of Wanmin City.

Three days later, the rough construction drawings have been planned, and after Xu Mu's review and approval...

The small officials under Fang Xuanling's General Affairs Department began to go to the mountain road where the bridge passed to inform the people.

Inform the people living on the road below the bridge that the Tiangong Division of Wanmin City is about to start construction and build a bridge here.

Then the small officials led the army and began to demolish and requisition land.

Yes, direct demolition and land acquisition.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when the imperial court started projects, there was no room for ordinary people to bargain.

For example, for demolition and land acquisition, the imperial court can choose to pay money or not.

But most of the time, for example, when the Eastern Capital was built, the original residents were evicted and nothing was given.

This concept lasted throughout the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was not until the Song Shenzong period that there appeared... the compensation for demolition and relocation, and the regulations on housing replacement.

In order to expand the city of Kaifeng, the Song Dynasty demolished the outer city of Kaifeng and continued to build outside.

Passing through many common people's houses, the people's complaints boiled over, and the people opposed wildly, so a compensation decree was issued to inform the people that those who had houses at home and those whose houses were demolished could choose two ways.

Either use housing to make up for housing, or get property compensation.

At that time, the houses were very cheap, and the common people chose property.

Just for the demolition of the outer city wall of Kaifeng City, the Song Dynasty court paid more than 2 yuan of money to the common people, and demolished the houses of more than 100 common people.

On average, one household received more than 100 yuan.

Since then, the Song Dynasty has embarked on a vigorous road to demolition.

No way, who made the Song Dynasty finances rich.

The emperor was also very lenient to the people, and he had to pay compensation for all demolition and land acquisition, so a group of demolition generations emerged.

The only difference from the later 21st century is that the houses in the Song Dynasty were very cheap.

However, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, compensation was rarely paid to the people.

In Fang Xuanling's inherent concept, the houses where the common people live are all in Wanmin City.

Because of this, the petty officials soon encountered resistance when they expropriated the land.

These people were all displaced from the outside world, and finally got a house to live in Wanmin City, and now they will be forcibly demolished...

Build that bridge!
The people under the bridge had no objection to the bridge. In their eyes, as long as they could eat and drink enough, nothing else mattered.

Although this bridge sounds very unreliable...

Ever since... the people under the bridge piers began to form groups and argue with the petty officials.

"Why? Why do you want to demolish my house?"

"I've lived for so long, but I've never heard of people who can build bridges and build roads in the mountains!"

"I want to see my lord! My lord must have been deceived by you!"

"That's right! In Wanmin City, we only recognize the lord! The lord loves the people like a son, and will definitely not pass this kind of government order!"

……

The people were furious and refused to budge.

The petty officials had no choice but to go back to the Lord's Mansion and report the matter to Fang Xuanling.

"Troublemakers! Really troublemakers!"

After Fang Xuanling heard the news, he was very angry.

Although he also sympathized with the power of the people, but more, he still looked at the problem from the standpoint of the upper class.

In his mind, this air bridge was built for these common people.

And there is no need to conscript them into corvee, all of which will be built by Tiangong Division.

But they want to stop it!
He didn't think about it as compensation at all...

"I will go in person!"

After some consideration, Fang Xuanling put his hands behind his back and led the servants to the outside of the city again.

In front of the people outside the city, Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said, "The construction of the air bridge is a decree issued by the lord himself, and it cannot be changed! I hope everyone will understand and cooperate with the demolition. flat ground—”

But before he finished speaking, the people gathered together, and a man with a dark complexion was the most excited, and kept shouting: "I don't believe it!"

"I finally got a house, borrowed the seeds, got a few acres of land, married a daughter-in-law, and can support the family. Now I have to demolish it. This must not be the master's order!"

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people chattered together.

"Yes! Well, why do you want to demolish our house?"

"We want to see the lord!"

"The lord loves the people like a child, and will definitely not demolish our house!"

……

These people have experienced many things in Wanmin City, and they have great respect for Xu Mu.

After all, everything they have now was brought by Xu Mu.

No matter how hard Fang Xuanling tried to persuade them, these common people just remained unmoved.

Three words, do not dismantle!
Helpless, Fang Xuanling could only temporarily abandon the demolition plan, and returned to the Lord's Mansion to meet Xu Mu.

Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Xu Mu couldn't help but get weird.

"Aren't you going to demolish their house without compensation?" Xu Mu couldn't help asking after listening.

Fang Xuanling was at a loss: "Compensation? What compensation?"

Xu Mu: "..."

No wonder these people are making trouble.

Xu Mu stroked his forehead with his hand, patted Fang Xuanling's shoulder and said, "Old Fang, what the people are struggling with is not why their house should be demolished, but rather that their house should be demolished without compensation."

Xu Mu explained to Fang Xuanling, and then drew up two plans on the spot.

One is to change houses, demolish the house outside Wanmin City, and repair a cement house in Wanmin City.

The other is in exchange for equivalent property.

However, Xu Mu felt that these people would definitely choose the first option.

After all, cement houses can not only provide shelter from wind and rain, but also live in the city, which is convenient and comfortable. For the people outside the city who have not yet lived in Wanmin City, the temptation is huge.

At the same time, Xu Mu called Cui Ji, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Old Cui, can you draw renderings?"

Cui Ji was busy providing He Chou with accurate topographical drawings, when he was summoned by the lord, he blinked his eyes, a little dazed.

He has drawn countless maps in his life, but he has never drawn any so-called renderings.

Words he couldn't understand popped out of the lord's mouth again.

The tone of voice seemed to ask him to draw?

Fortunately, Xu Mu immediately explained to him.

"Isn't Tiangong Division building an air bridge now? I need you to come up with a set of blueprints as soon as possible, and draw the air bridge that will be built by He Chou in advance, so that the people can watch it!"

Don't these people want to see him?
I just took this opportunity to gather the common people outside the Lord's Mansion building and publicize the Air Bridge to them.

After the people know the convenience of the bridge, he believes that none of the people will stop the demolition and land acquisition.

After receiving the task, Cui Ji rushed to Tiangong Division to ask He Chou for details about the air bridge.

Then draw a topographic map, supplemented by Danqing, and make a rendering.

……

The Lord's Mansion Building.

Under Fang Xuanling's organization, thousands of people, represented by thousands, gathered outside the Lord's Mansion building.

Xu Mu stood in front of the window on the fourth floor, looking at the people below.

As the top leader of the rebel group, this time, he didn't plan to show up, and planned to give his subordinates a chance to perform.

Anyway, in Wanmin out, his popularity has been so high that it cannot be higher...

This time, it will be hosted by Fang Xuanling, and Cui Ji and He Chou will be responsible for preaching together, telling the people the true role of the sky bridge.

It's just... Before Fang Xuanling could stand up, the common people started whispering and discussing.

"Why are we demolishing our house?"

"We were displaced outside the mountains, wandering around, and finally got a house. We can't demolish it just to build a bridge, right?"

"We want to see the lord!"

……

Thousands of people gathered together, and it became noisy for a while.

There were also quite a few commoners among them, cursing and talking, and then went up to the top.

Of course they didn't dare to scold Xu Mu, after all, Xu Mu gave them everything, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they are reborn with kindness.

The people they scolded...

It's Yang Guang.

"My lord, do you remember how Yang Guang lost the world? Yang Guang, a foolish ruler, conscripted corvees everywhere and demolished houses indiscriminately, which led to uprisings everywhere!"

"How stupid Yang Guang is, and how wise the lord is!"

Chatting and chatting, a few common people who got the upper hand couldn't help bragging.

"Yang Guang, I met him in Dongdu back then..."

"What is this! I have a cousin who once met Yang Guang's wife! She seems to be some kind of queen?"

"Bah! When I was in Jiangdu, I felt that Yang Guang was not a good person, and he couldn't be an emperor!"

"Oh, it's a pity that the lord was born a few years later, otherwise, where would it be Yang Guang's turn to be emperor?"

……

These mud-legged farmers chatted and chatted, and they got farther and farther away.

The voices of several of the farmers were exceptionally loud.

It was rumored outside the Lord's Mansion building.

The third floor of the Lord's Mansion Building, Municipal Planning Department.

Yang Guang's face was ashen, standing in front of the window, looking at the group of people below, he suddenly felt that he had suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

He has not been emperor for a long time.

Now he is just the director of the Municipal Planning Department.

And... a dead man wow!
If you want to chat, chat, if you praise Xu Mu, praise Xu Mu, why do you still scold me?
Even the dead are not spared?
After being silent for a long time, Yang Guang clenched his teeth and spit out four words: "A group of troublemakers!"
