Chapter 403 Rebuilding the Number One Scholar Building

"Clang clang clang..."

"Clang clang clang..."

"Dong dong dong dong..."

"Hurry up, move this big pillar over there and set it up!"

"Give me quick hands and feet. Your Majesty has ordered that the work must be completed within half a month!"

"How many materials are still not delivered, pass on the order to let them speed up, don't neglect!"

In Xianyang City, on Xuefu Street, noisy sounds kept coming.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a huge project occupying half a street began to be built on the ruins of the former Zhuangyuan Building.

Tens of thousands of workers are busy working fast.

The Yamen servants of the Xianyang Lingfu, as well as some supervisors and sergeants in Xianyang, worked together in a division of labor, and kept arranging various things.

The reconstruction of the Zhuangyuan Building is not a small project, but it is still not worth mentioning compared to those real big projects in Qin State.

However, Yingzheng attached great importance to it. In order to build the Zhuangyuan Building as early as possible, he even dispatched laborers from the Lishan King's Mausoleum not far away to build it.

These more than 1 people were busy at the same time, and the project of the Zhuangyuan Building could be completed in half a month.

Perhaps it was because of the importance, even Xianyang Ling put down other things in his hands and was dispatched to supervise the work.

A sound of scolding made the people below not dare to be sloppy.

"Hey, isn't this the Wuhuan strong man from Xuanwen Jun's mansion? He's here to supervise the work?"

Suddenly, Zhou Da's eyes lit up in Xianyang, and he walked towards a caravan not far away.

This caravan is huge, and there are more than 30 carriages dedicated to pulling goods.

And the first person was none other than Wuhuan.

After that night, Zhou Da also really saw what Wang Enhaodang is.

This majesty's treatment of Xuanwen Jun's family is really extraordinary.

Moreover, after witnessing all kinds of miraculous aspects of Xuan Wenjun, Zhou Da had an inexplicable feeling that if he grasped this line, he might achieve a great achievement in the future, and it was just around the corner.

Naturally, the attitude towards the people in Xuanwen Jun's mansion is different now.

"Wuhuan has seen Xianyang Order!"

Seeing Zhou Da walking towards him, Wu Huan hastily stepped forward two steps, clasped his hands in salute, and said with a smile.

"Soldier Wuhuan is polite. Let's see, is the strongman satisfied with this project?"

Wuhuan raised his head and looked around. In this snowy weather, he was still busy with smoke and dust, sawdust flying around, and the heat was in full swing. He was indeed very energetic.

"Well, it really is very fast. It only took a day, and the foundation has been laid. It is really troublesome to Mr. Xianyang Ling!"

Wuhuan nodded, cupped his hands again, and smiled at Zhou Da.

"Be courteous and courteous, the king's order is in your body, don't dare to be sloppy. Since the strong man came to inspect the project today, don't let him walk around. If there is anything wrong, you can point it out!"

Zhou Da waved his hand, and while speaking, gave Xuan Wenjun enough face for his brother-in-law.

"Your Excellency, you are joking. My brother-in-law understands this kind of project, but Wuhuan doesn't know anything about it. How can we talk about supervision? If you really want to come to inspect it, then it is my brother-in-law who will come!"

"However, my brother-in-law said that the matter will be presided over by the king, and Xianyang will oversee the work. It is enough to put 120 hearts at ease, so he won't use it!"

"Of course, my brother-in-law also has my brother-in-law's rules. Although these are laborers and servitors, all the itineraries should be arranged by the king and Lord Xianyang. But since they are building a building for my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law can't ignore it, right? ?”

"Otherwise, how will you reward the world in the future!"

Facing Zhou Da's sentence-by-sentence supervision inspection, Wuhuan quickly explained.

"Oh, then I don't know what Xuan Wenjun is going to do?"

Zhou Da looked puzzled and said strangely.

"Here are some small gifts prepared by my brother-in-law!"

"My brother-in-law said that this laborer is also a human being. It is only natural to serve Daqin. You don't need to talk about money or any treatment. These are arranged by the government!"

"But it's different now. They are busy working for the Zhuangyuan Building. This shouldn't be counted as official business, it should be counted as private business!"

"It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the wind is biting. These workers don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. How can they have the strength to work?"

"Besides, it would be unlucky if a few people died of freezing, starvation or exhaustion in this Zhuangyuan building? So, my brother-in-law specially asked me to shop around, and made all the silk and satin shops and tailors in Xianyang city rush to make it overnight. I bought these winter clothes that are more resistant to the cold!"

"Now that the cold clothes have been delivered, I would like to ask the Xianyang Order to distribute them, so that everyone can dress warmly and don't get cold!"

Wuhuan remembered Qin Yong's instructions, and said solemnly.

In fact, the day before yesterday, when these people were transferred, Qin Yong had come to observe.

Seeing the situation of these laborers at that time, Qin Yong's heart ached.

As a person who came from the 21st century, if you don't witness the cruelty of this era with your own eyes, you will never be able to imagine the pain of this era.

On the day when the tens of thousands of laborers were just transferred here, Qin Yong saw with his own eyes that they were all in rags, not even a decent suit of clothes.

There were even many people who didn't even have that kind of tattered coarse clothes, were shirtless, covered with welts, and looked skinny, which deeply hurt Qin Yong's heart.

It was hard for him to imagine how these people, in such a cold winter, with little or even no clothes, could resist the cold.

And all of them were skinny, with sallow complexions, and they were malnourished at first glance, obviously short-lived.

The so-called seeing the whole leopard at a glance, through this scene, Qin Yong can fully imagine how painful it is for those people who built royal tombs, roads, canals, and the Great Wall.

In this era, doing these public engineering work is simply not done by human beings.

Not to mention being exhausted, even if you are a little lazy, you will be beaten.

And this is something that almost everyone who does not have a meritorious service has to go through, which is called hard labor.

This kind of so-called labor labor is actually working for the public for free, without getting money, and may even die from exhaustion.

Especially after Qin Yong learned that all the laborers who came to build the Zhuangyuan building were driven away from the shelves, and no one wanted to come, and he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

Everyone has a three-point kindness, and Qin Yong is no exception. Facing this scene, he seems to have fallen into the abyss of crime from the peaceful era, which is shocking and unacceptable at all.

Why are these people driven to the shelves and would rather build a mausoleum than come to Xianyang to build the champion building?
The reason is very simple. In the Lishan Royal Tomb, you may be beaten and scolded, but as long as you carry it down, you still have a chance to survive.

But it's different here, although those officers and soldiers will restrain themselves and don't beat people very much.But once you are lazy and the evidence is solid, it will be a dead end.

Even sometimes if you don't be lazy and slow down a little bit, you may end up like this. Who would want to come?

Therefore, in the end, the general laborers did not come, and those who were forced to come were either war criminals or criminals who had committed felonies and served to death.

Relatively speaking, the lives of these people are much more difficult than those of the ordinary laborers. They have no autonomy at all, and their life and death depend entirely on the whims of others.
