Destiny Only Han

Chapter 590 Liu Ying: Come, feed the workers...

mine.

The busy miners around didn't pay much attention to Liu Ying who was walking around, but just walked around according to the work flow on their own, sweating profusely.

And this is what Liu Ying wanted to see. For this reason, he stopped the company of the mine manager and only brought seven or eight powerful guards with him.

Although the mine manager once wanted to persuade Liu Ying to bring two or three hundred more guards...

After all, about [-]% of the workers in the mine were prisoners of war or slaves from trade.

But this is not what the mine manager is worried about. What he is worried about is that there are not many supervisors in this mine, and there are watchtowers all over the surrounding area.

Therefore, once the miners' riot or other incidents affect Liu Ying, not to mention that his head will be lost, I'm afraid his whole family will not survive!
Therefore, in his opinion, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Bailongyufu's behavior is bad!
But Liu Ying didn't think so. It was precisely because this was a new pilot site that he didn't need to worry about miners rioting due to dissatisfaction.

Even if these miners are slaves, they are inferior!
Because in the pie that Liu Ying drew for them, the slaves no longer worked for their masters, but for themselves!

As long as they can save enough market price, which is [-] yuan, they can redeem themselves and become happy free citizens from now on. They are no longer anyone’s property. They will be their own masters and enjoy the freedom to sell their labor power The power to exchange money!
And in order to give them some hope, the wages have also increased from the previous six renminbi a day to ten renminbi a day, which is nearly double the increase, and the standard of food has also increased from the previous two shi a month to three shi a month.

Of course, because of the calcium carbide lamp, the working hours have also changed from the previous sunset to two shifts, each working for six hours...

But this is not important, what is important is that they will use the team as a unit to calculate merit points.

When the assessment of each class reaches the standard, they will get a little merit point as a reward!
And once they have accumulated [-] merit points, and they are free citizens, they will get a temporary Han ID card, which is written on a bamboo piece, recording their height, age, appearance, and place of origin. The 'experiment', 'pass'.

And this is not just a proof of identity, the treatment in the mine will also be improved.

For example, you can move from the previous Datong shop with 30 people to a dormitory with [-] people, and each floor has toilets and washrooms. There are five bath tickets per month. When you are not working, you can go to Take a hot bath in the big bathhouse!

This is second only to those squad leaders and team leaders who are born Han, so they can live in a room for two and take a hot bath every day!

And this is the ultimate goal of those slaves!

As for those engineers who live in single rooms, that is a goal they dare not even dream of...

Not only that, but when they obtain the status of free citizens and take the 'temporary ID card' made of bamboo chips, as long as they work hard in the mine for another ten years and own real estate in the local area, they can apply for the Chinese language test. When the language and writing have obtained a grade of 'good' or above, you can queue up to convert the temporary ID card into an official ID card!
In this way, they are no longer the backward and ignorant Ji people, Yelang people, and Yue people, but Han people!
Glorious and great Han people!

Therefore, as far as Liu Ying can see, whether it is slaves wearing ocher clothes, or those free people who are not allowed to wear Han hairstyles and can only let their hair loose or cut off, although they are wearing Han clothes. He was full of energy, not as muddled and numb as he had seen in other places before, and the only twilight in his eyes was still thinking about how to steal and play tricks so that he could be lazy under the watchful eye of the supervisor.

At this moment, Liu Ying thought of an article she had read.

It is said that the pyramids in Egypt were not built by slaves, or in other words, not all of them were slaves, but a group of craftsmen with not low social status.

This actually makes a lot of sense.

This is not what the so-called Swiss watchmaker Booker said. The builders of the pyramids will never be slaves, but only a group of cheerful free men.

After all, it is labor, plus it is working for the ruler, it is impossible to be happy, I can only find something to do for myself when I have nothing to do...

After all, ancient Egypt's agriculture was entirely dependent on the sky, that is, it relied on the Nile River for food, and its geographical location also determined that foreign enemies could only come from the Sinai Peninsula and the sea.

Therefore, when the weather is smooth and there is no war, there will be a large number of idle people who are full and have nothing to do in society...

And once people are idle, they will think about things that will make the pharaohs stand on end.

So, let's use the spare time to use the power of the whole country to build the pyramid...

Well, the boundary of ancient Egypt started from the city-states until the last pharaoh was killed. It spanned more than 4000 years and nearly 5000 years, which is almost twice the time from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Revolution of [-].

The important thing is that the pyramid is the tomb of the pharaoh. Before the other party was mummified, there was no such thing as a deadline for construction.

If there is more food, do more, if there is less food, do less.

For example, the largest Khufu Pyramid has been built for more than 20 years. Although it looks quite big, compared with the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum, which has a shorter construction period, it is completely insignificant in every aspect...

As for how magical the so-called pyramid is and how precise the measurement is, it is obviously not an extensive project. It must be supported by black technology or something. In fact, it is easy to understand. After all, people have been thinking about this for thousands of years. Is it normal?

The important thing is that the pyramid is not a building, it is a mountain!

Except for the narrow tomb passage and the tomb chamber, it is basically completely solid. Even if it collapses one day, it is estimated that the tomb chamber will collapse, and it will not collapse completely.

And there are survivors' deviations, the poorly built pyramids have collapsed, and the rest are engineering miracles...

Well, many people brag about and blacken the pyramids, but they don’t understand the truth, that is, building buildings and building wonders are two things that have nothing to do with each other.

Therefore, the spectacle is detrimental to the country... Liu Ying walked towards the wheel kiln and cement workshop specially set up for the construction of the Great Wall, which was spewing thick smoke.

"Hey, my son, before entering the workshop, please put on the protective gear..."

A Vietnamese chief with broken hair and tattoos, holding a wooden dust mask in his hand, was stopped five steps away from Liu Ying by the guards of the Eastern Palace.

Looking at the two strong men who were more than 1.8 meters tall and half-exposing their waists and swords, although the head of Yue was cowardly, he still shook the dust mask in his hand and continued with a bit of pleading:
"My lord, it's better to wear it, it's good for your health... Also, if the manager sees that we let people who don't wear protective gear enter the work area, our merit points for today will be lost..."

Well, the reason why he called Liu Ying the son was not only because of those burly guards, but more importantly, Liu Ying's walking posture.

Head held high, no one in sight.

Especially the latter, this is mainly because Liu Ying usually walks in the palace and the government, and is not worried about anyone blocking him, so he has always been rampant and basically does not look at the road...

The feudal dynasty had a strict hierarchy, so it was natural for a prince like a master.

Seeing the cowardly and flattering expression of the Vietnamese labor chief, Liu Ying smiled at him, then took out a dust mask with a higher protection level from her sleeve and put it on her face.

It wasn't just him, the guards of the East Palace also followed suit, taking out dust masks from their sleeves and putting them on.

After all, Liu Ying has always cherished herself. Before entering such a dusty workshop, she would naturally prepare the corresponding protective gear in advance...

Amidst the dumbfoundedness of the Vietnamese labor leader, Liu Ying walked up behind a Han team leader holding a notepad, and watched him write and draw on the notepad with her head poking around.

"Well, only 3000 yuan of bricks can be paid out today? It's a bit poor, is it because you are not working hard enough..."

Liu Ying murmured, but the Han team leader didn't seem to have heard of it, and didn't respond at all.

After all, there was a big hand on his shoulder, and a guard of the East Palace who was nearly ten feet tall was standing beside him. Although his height was not low, comparing the two, he looked like an eagle catching Xiaokun...

Looking at the group of overly tense East Palace guards around her, Liu Ying sighed helplessly, and could only stay away from the crowd again, not to disturb the busy workers, but just looked at the wheel kiln and cement workers who were emitting heavy smoke square.

Well, the wheel kiln is a kind of brick kiln that has been basically eliminated by later generations. It is characterized by continuous production, high output, various fuels can be used, and low construction cost.

The focus, of course, is continuous production and high output.

After all, the round kiln is also called the ring kiln. It is a continuous kiln designed by the German Friedoli Hoffmann in 1858. Its shape is oval and divided into different firing areas. Therefore, it can be Simultaneously load billets, discharge bricks and clean.

As for the cement workshop on the other side, what is fired is not actually cement, but a kind of 'earth cement'. If you want to say something more foreign, it is artificial pozzolan cement...

To put it simply, it is to crush and grind the fired bricks, tiles or pottery and put them in the kiln for calcination. It only needs a temperature of [-] to [-] degrees to be fired successfully. For example, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway during the Anti-Japanese War was built with this cement. Yes, the performance is not much worse than Portland cement.

Anyway, relying on the ability of the Huns, it would take at least three to five days to dig through the Great Wall built of cement, and this was enough for the Han army to discover and expel or annihilate them...

As for using broken bricks as raw materials, it is actually very simple.

On the other side, the wheel kiln spouting thick smoke produces a large pile of unqualified broken bricks every day, which can be regarded as waste utilization...
