The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 834

[Chapter 834 White Face]

South of the City.

The road construction matter, which had been hesitating for such a long time, was finally decided after a month-long experiment and the assistance of the Imperial Medical Office.

In the end, the College of Engineering determined that asphalt road construction may cause some minor problems, but overall, it will not have much impact on people.

Therefore, the road construction material was changed from cement mixture to asphalt mixture.

The people in the south of the city were confused when they first heard the news.

Building roads?

What kind of road should be built?

Does the road in the south of the city still need to be repaired?

After being confused, I felt relieved.

Whether the road in the south of the city is repaired or not is not that important.

It’s just that during this period, traveling is not that convenient, but roads that are built are always better than those that are not built.

Therefore, the people had no objection to this.

As for those shopkeepers, this is even more true.

Most of them were originally in the south of the city and knew what the original south of the city was like.

Compared with the east and west of the city, it’s just the same and doesn’t have much advantage.

It was the Marquis of Xin’an who built the Chunfeng Tower, the Capital Grand Theater, and Zhuxuan Zhai here, which made the south of the city so prosperous.

Their business has only grown with the tide.

Therefore, they understand the significance of building roads very well.

Even though the road construction period may not be as good as the business in other places.

But after the road construction was completed, no other place could compare with them!

They strongly support this road construction.

The first day of road construction.

A few hardworking workers gathered together and talked carelessly.

“The road in the south of the city can only be so good. I really don’t know how it can be repaired. Do we have to tear down these stone slabs? What a pity?”

“Could it be that Marquis Xin’an built the road specially to take care of us?

“Isn’t that possible? Didn’t you say it before? Xin’anhou has been thinking about building roads a long time ago.

How could it be to take care of us?”

“

We have never read it .”

The person who wrote the book didn’t know a few words. It’s normal for people to not know what they are doing when building roads.”

While they were discussing, a man came over, looked at everyone, waved his hands, and said loudly: “Come here, everyone. Come here, stop arguing!

The first thing to do when building the road today is to remove the stone slabs. After removing them, flatten the ground. The students from the College of Engineering will teach you how to flatten it

later .

It’s about laying asphalt, and there will be students who will teach you later, so you should follow suit.

Don’t make trouble, don’t look for trouble, or you will be responsible for the consequences!”

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.

It’s not like they haven’t done hard work before, they are all very similar.

The only thing I’m curious about are the students from the College of Engineering?

What are those students for?

What can be taught?

Everyone didn’t take those students seriously.

Until the road construction actually started.

They realized that although these students had never built roads, they knew much more than they did about different materials and what tools to use.

What method should be used to determine whether the road is smooth or not?

How can roads with different ups and downs make them generally smooth.

These things that they thought were very simple at first were heard from these scholars.

Only then did they realize that it was not that simple.

Anyway, half a day passed quickly.

It’s time to eat.

“Everyone, take a rest, take a rest, it’s time to eat, it’s time to eat!”

Several cooks staggered to the road construction site carrying several large buckets.

Another wooden barrel contains a wooden bowl.

One bowl per person, noodles first, then vegetables.

When many people heard this sound, they immediately put down what they were doing and ran over.

The cook looked at the crowd of people in front of him, waved his hands, and said loudly: “Everyone has something, everyone has something, eat until you are full, don’t crowd, everyone line up! Line up!”

Although these people He didn’t know a few words, but he knew the rules. Hearing this, he hurriedly lined up.

Looking at the steaming food, everyone was salivating.

The people at the back were even more anxious.

The one who got the food was beaming with joy.

“This is white noodles! In the old cloth shop, the owners didn’t eat white noodles, but we guys did eat white noodles, hahahaha!”

“Yeah, I really didn’t expect that there are so many benefits to building the road. You can get money and flour to eat. If you ask me, it will take a lifetime to build this road.”

“That being said, you still have to work hard. , I didn’t hear what they said, this lazy person will be fired. What does it mean to be fired? Don’t talk about money then, there will be nothing left, even wowotou!

” : “If you are not full, just grab your bowl and continue in line. For those behind you, don’t worry. The noodles and vegetables are already prepared. We will make as much as you can eat.

You will not be short-changed, so don’t worry!”

The people in the queue behind heard this and felt relieved.

Start lining up quietly.

Behind these cooks, a fat-bellied businessman smiled when he saw this scene.

He looked at the boy beside him and said with a smile: “Look what I said, these people, if you give them some white noodles to eat and some pickles, that is good enough for them.

Also give them mutton.” Eat, I

really don’t know what the shopkeeper is thinking.

These people deserve to eat mutton!”

He said this with a look of disdain on his face, as if he was very contemptuous of these waiters.

After hearing this, the boy next to him hurriedly stepped forward, with a flattering look on his face, and said flatteringly: “The steward really thinks more than the younger ones. With this small change, just the food money left a few dollars.” Ten taels.

This is dozens of taels per day, and it is thousands of taels per month.

I don’t know how many

taels there are this year. We just put it in our account and lend it to those people. I don’t know how much money the interest is.

You are really wise, really wise!”

“That’s right. Otherwise, why would I be the steward? You’ve been in Baolefang for so many years and you’re still just a servant!”

The steward glanced at him! The boy next to him laughed twice and said.

After saying that, regardless of the ugly expression on the boy’s face, he turned his head and looked to the other side.

The laborers are still queuing up to receive noodles.

“These guys should stay in the Central Plains for the rest of their lives. They will starve to death. They have to come to our Kyoto Prefecture. These bullies can come to Kyoto Prefecture if they want?

I really don’t know what the imperial court is thinking. Just It’s time to close the city gate and lock them out. If they don’t leave, charge them with rebellion and see if they leave!”

At this point, a fierce look appeared on his face.

When the boy saw this scene, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Three generations of his ancestors were also from the Central Plains.

“Who are you talking about?”

Just as the steward was speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
