The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 830

[Chapter 830 Give everyone an extra tael of silver]

tael of silver. Fang Xiu shook his head gently and said calmly: “No problem.”

Then he looked at the asphalt in the jar and asked: “How do you pave the road with this thing? Wait. Have you tried it?”

Several people looked at each other and spoke one after another.

“Returning to the Marquis, we just tried it a little bit. We heated this thing, mixed it with sand and gravel and other objects, and then spread it on the ground. When it cooled, it became as hard as iron, and the effect was no worse than the cement mixture.

However, We all know the basics of cement. We Chinese people have been using lime mortar for thousands of years. Therefore, the cement is naturally guaranteed. I

don’t know about the asphalt. The most important thing is whether it is toxic. , If it’s poisonous, I’ll wait.”

Several people looked at each other, but they didn’t dare to continue talking.

If it is poisonous and this thing is spread on the road, they will be the eternal sinners among the eternal sinners!

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression did not change at all.

He naturally knows about asphalt.

In later generations, this stuff was the main material for road construction.

When walking on the road, in addition to cement roads, there are asphalt roads. There are even more asphalt roads than cement roads.

Therefore, Fang Xiu looked at those people and said: “You don’t have to worry about this. I will ask Bianchi, the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Medical Office, to come over and take a look. If this thing is not toxic, use this thing. If it is toxic, use this thing.” , just use other things.

As for gravel, gravel, slag, if you want these things, go to Baolefang and find Wang Baole. He will provide it to you first.

Find an open space and calculate how much a foot of road will cost. If it’s more money, how much money can be saved?

You are all teachers from the Engineering Academy, and this is what I teach you. I shouldn’t need to teach you how to do it, right?”

After hearing this, several people responded hurriedly. “Of course, yes.”

Fang Xiu glanced at the asphalt again. He didn’t know what he thought of, and felt a little dazed. He waved his hands and said, “I’ll leave the rest to you. You have to put in all the trouble to build the road.” This is a measure that can last for hundreds or thousands of years. You must

not be in a hurry. How to do it, what materials to add, how to maintain it if it rains, whether to continue building roads or stop, these are all things that need to be considered. Question.

Of course, you all should know it.

I don’t have much to spare, so just do your best.”

When they heard this, they all bowed: “That’s what the Marquis said!” Fang

Xiu

glanced at them and said, “Let’s go, no need to send more.”

After that, he turned and left.

Naturally, the few people did not dare not to send him off, and hurriedly sent him to the courtyard gate. They all bowed and saluted: “Farewell, Lord Marquis!”

They watched Fang Xiu gradually disappear from their sight.

Several people gathered together again and began to discuss: “Xin’an Hou said so, this asphalt can indeed replace cement.”

“That’s what I said, but we still have to pay more attention to this road construction. It’s not a trivial matter.”

“It doesn’t matter, we still have half a month. Take your time, take your time.”

For the gentlemen of the Engineering College, this road construction is a prudent matter, so they must be cautious. ,Take it easy.

But many of the shop assistants couldn’t wait any longer.

In less than seven days, many people gathered at the entrance of Baolefang, wanting to see if the notice had been posted.

Everyone was talking about it.

“Why hasn’t this notice come out yet? It’s already the sixth day.”

“So what about the sixth day? Didn’t Xin’an Hou say that on the seventh day, we came too early.”

“Oh, there’s no need to worry. Why are you so anxious? Many of us have heard what Xin’an Hou said. Could it be that Xin’an Hou still owes you this little money? What is your money like a hair on Jiuniu’s body? , That’s not the case!”

“What you said is that the whole family is waiting for this money to support themselves. If you are not in a hurry, what are you doing here?” “I’m just taking a look,”

Baolefang said

.

.

The boy came to Wang Baole’s side and whispered: “Shopkeeper, there are more and more people outside, do you think?”

Wang Baole looked thoughtful, thought for a while, and said: “It doesn’t matter, they are all cloth. People in the village, have you already planned this treatment?”

When the boy heard this, he hurriedly took out a document from his arms, handed it to Wang Baole, and replied: “It’s all ready when I go back to the shopkeeper. .

Everyone is provided with food and accommodation, and one tael of money a month. In addition, the construction period is at least one year. During this year, unless they are lazy or something, they cannot be fired. .

And there are five days of vacation every month. This treatment is good enough even for the little ones.”

After Wang Baole reached out to take it, he looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and shook his head gently. , said: “No, this money is still too little, just two taels of silver for each person.”

“This”

When the young man heard this, hesitating on his face, he said: “The shopkeeper, I am also asking. After that, these people only had one tael of silver when they were in Buzhuang, and they only had three days to rest.”

“Can it be the same?”

Before the boy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Baole.

Wang Baole turned to look at the boy and said coldly: “Although spinning requires strength, how can it be compared to building roads?

Building roads is laborious and tiring. If there is not enough money, these people will make trouble. If you do it, what should you do? How should you explain it to the young master?

This road construction is very important to the young master. It is the top priority of the Fang Mansion. Even with 3,000 people, it is only an extra 3,000 taels a month. It’s just money.

Not to mention our Baolefang, even Chunfeng Tower can earn enough.

Three out of ten shops in the south of the city belong to Fangfu, and our Baolefang. If the road is repaired, how much can it bring. Do you know the benefits?

Don’t let your eyes see what’s in front of you.

Do you understand?”

When the boy heard this, his expression changed. He looked at Wang Baole with admiration and said: “As expected of the shopkeeper, it really is.”

The boy wanted to flatter him, but because he had never read a book, he didn’t know what to say.

Wang Baole waved his hands in amazement and said: “Okay, do you really think I don’t know about your little thoughts? Only doing things well is the real thing. The young master and I are both people who like to do things real.

Those flatterers

Yes

, if he doesn’t have any real talent, will you use him as a young master?

I won’t say any more, just post the notice and change it as I say.”
