Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 150
"Your Majesty, Qin Dalang raised a total of more than 5 yuan in today's cement technology transfer fair."

As the leader of the Baiqi Division, Li Junxian naturally wanted to tell Li Shimin the major events that happened in Chang'an City as soon as possible.

Obviously, the cement technology transfer meeting held today is a major event worthy of Li Shimin's attention.

"This guy's ability to raise money is unmatched by anyone else. With this more than 5 yuan, plus the Qin family's own tens of thousands of money, many things can be started first.

No one knows if he will find another way next month to get tens of thousands of money from various merchants. "

Inexplicably, Li Shimin had a glimmer of expectation and confidence in the construction of the new palace.

"It's really possible. But no matter what, the Qin family's many workshops started working together, which immediately led to the livelihood of thousands of refugees, and the tension outside Chang'an City was immediately eased.

Nowadays, every iron shop in Chang'an City is desperately producing all kinds of utensils, and the east and west markets are more prosperous than before. "

Qin Xiedao knows better than anyone else how strong the pulling effect of infrastructure is.

If it weren't for his strength, he would have directly paid homage to the big move of building roads.

As long as the two cement roads from Chang'an City to Luoyang, and from Chang'an City to Liangzhou are moved first, no refugees will be a problem.

"Let the general be the superintendent cooperate with Xie Dao with all his strength, but I want to see how he can make the situation worse."

……

When the money is in place, the manpower will naturally be in place.

All of a sudden, more than 5 yuan was added, and Qin Xiedao immediately stopped hiding it.

The newly established Datang Construction Engineering recruited [-] refugees in one go, in addition to the [-] craftsmen sent by the supervisors to support them.

After a simple grouping, it was immediately put into the work of land leveling.

Every day after that, as long as there are new refugees outside Chang'an City, Datang Construction Engineering will be rounded up.

For these refugees, as long as they can feed their stomachs, have a place to sleep, and pay or not, they don't care at all.

On the same day, Qin Xiedao didn't have the mother bitch to pay every refugee as a normal helper.

Before your own financial tension is alleviated, let's take care of the food first.

At most, each helper will be given a subsidy of [-] Wen per month.

"Lang Jun, the price of corn in Chang'an City has risen again in the past few days! And we have to buy so much corn in one go, many merchants are sitting on their hands and raising prices."

After the construction work started, Ma Zhou immediately felt the difficulty.

"Also, Mr. Lang, you require all the helpers to eat enough to eat. One person can consume three catties of corn in a day. After one day, the consumption of the whole grain is very exaggerated.

"Can a person eat three catties of corn in a day?"

When Qin Xiedao heard this number, he was startled.

Are these helpers all idiots?
Three catties of rice a day, not three catties of rice.

This is enough for Qin Xiedao to eat for three days.

"Yes, that's three catties of rice a day. And this is not the amount of food consumed by the most able-bodied people, but the average amount of food consumed."

Qin Xie said: ...

After a moment of silence, Qin Xiedao slowly figured out the reason.

These days, when helpers eat, they really eat.

There is no oily water at all.

Although it is spring now, the vegetables have not yet grown up, so the helpers don't have any vegetables to eat.

In terms of eating alone, eating three catties of rice a day does not seem to be such an exaggeration for a coolie helper.

Qin Xiedao thought that when he was in military training at the university in later generations, his appetite was obviously more than doubled than usual.

Not to mention working all day long like those helpers.

"Is there a way to get some pork meat, or fat, so that everyone can eat something very hungry every day."

The food problem has always been the most important problem of the feudal dynasty.

Now that the food price in Chang'an City is rising, Qin Xiedao naturally doesn't want to be slaughtered by those merchants.

"If it's just dozens or hundreds of people eating pork, there is still a solution. But tens of thousands of people eating, that's a big problem."

Sure enough, Ma Zhou's answer was not very satisfactory.

"Lang Jun, I know that a place can provide a lot of meat, but I don't know if you can think of a way to catch them."

Ying Er, who was serving tea and water at the side, suddenly said something.

"Huh? Where?"

"Qujiang Pond! There are a lot of fish in Qujiang Pond in Nuo Da. When I was playing there with my wife, I saw fishermen fishing. The fish they caught were very fat, and there were several in one. heavy."

Yinger's answer made Ma Zhou a little disappointed.

"Miss Yinger, there are indeed a lot of fish in the Qujiang Pond, if all of them can be caught, it may be enough for all the helpers to eat for several months.

But Qujiang Pond is so big, if there was a way to capture it, someone would have gone to capture it long ago. "

"Is it difficult to fish in Qujiang Pond?"

Qin Xiedao vaguely felt that there might be some deviation in his cognition.

According to what Yinger and Ma Zhou said, fishing seems to be a very difficult thing for people in Datang these days?
"It's very difficult, very difficult! Sir, the Qujiang Pond is too big. If a fishing net is cast down, many times it will not be able to catch even a single fish. Otherwise, the people around will have already lived by fishing. It's time."

Ma Zhou obviously didn't think Ying Er's proposal had any practical significance.

"It's really hard. Sir, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yinger also admitted what Ma Zhou said with a little disappointment.

"No, your proposal is very good and completely feasible. The rations of the helpers will depend on the fish in Qujiang Pond."

Now that he knew that there were a lot of fish in Qujiang Pond, Qin Xiedao naturally had to find a way to catch them and make a good contribution.

As for how to catch it, it's actually not that difficult.

Take out the various methods of catching fish in later generations, and then improve the fishing net of this idea.

At that time, directly arrange dozens of ships to sail into Qujiang Pond together, and not ruthlessly catch those fish schools that have no natural enemies, it is really a bit reckless.

"Lang Jun, do you have a way to catch these fish?"

After hearing Qin Xiedao's words, Ma Zhou immediately realized something.

"There are always more solutions than problems. Ma Zhou, let me make a list. You can find someone to prepare it, and then start fishing in Qujiang Pond as soon as possible."

The problem of eating is a big problem no matter what time it is.

Even in later generations, there is a saying that "if you don't eat actively, you have problems with your thinking".

If Qin Xiedao wanted helpers to work hard to build palaces and houses, he naturally had to find a way to feed them.

If eating enough food becomes full meat, then the enthusiasm of the helpers can definitely go up several steps.
