Chapter 75

After the busy spring plowing, the Shaofu Office also calculated the winter inputs clearly. The profits of honeycomb coal and winter vegetables are not high when facing the people, but because of small profits and high sales, and the fact that a group of ministers paid a lot of money in their pockets, they actually made a big profit.

The national treasury was sufficient money and food, and Fusu did not plan to cover it all without spending it, and the food would not be moldy, and the money would not be as much as scrap copper and iron. He planned several official roads prepared for construction or widening as Ying Zheng's wishes early, and immediately took it out to the court for discussion when he went to court.

The road construction plan that Fusu came up with is very detailed, with funding budgets and personal budgets, and naturally there is also a benefit assessment of the entire road construction project.

Everyone has no objection to the road construction. Everyone knows the benefits of road construction. Nowadays, food and goods must be considered exhausted. If the road is not easy to walk, the road will be more exhausted. Even if it is not considered exhausted, in terms of transportation efficiency, a good road can save a few more livestock!

Just imagine, who can’t feel sorry for someone who runs away? Not to mention running away to death, even if you run away to death, you will have to cry.

After some discussion, everyone unanimously stated that this road needs to be repaired and it must be repaired well. At least all the roads directly to Xianyang from each county must be repaired thoroughly.

Although there are roads now, they are of different sizes and are not very flat. In some places, two carriages have to struggle for a long time when they meet on narrow roads, and in some places it is easy to fall off a cliff and overturn. If the road is repaired according to Fusu's plan, the road will definitely be much easier to walk!

So, this road should be repaired!

However, everyone thinks that the Shaofu Office cannot build a one-man show, so we have to discuss it again.

Among the officials in the court, who has no hometown if they are from Qin?

Fusu talked about so many of the benefits of building roads, and everyone wants to build the road to their hometown first!

At the court meeting, we argued on the spot. You said you should first build the straight road to a certain county, and I said you should build another county first. This made Ying Zheng feel hurt. He waved his hand and asked him to retreat to the court first. Then Fusu turned around and planned a plan for the first phase of the road construction project that everyone accepted.

The major road construction plan has been passed, and Fusu thinks that the details of which side to repair first can be negotiated.

I am not afraid of everyone fighting, I am afraid of everyone having no idea!

That afternoon, Fusu summoned the representatives who had just named their hometown in the court. He first distributed them a township property and road condition evaluation form to them, and explained the above project evaluation indicators.

Simply put, it is necessary to maximize profits. Wherever there are resources that are scarce during wars and wherever there are materials needed by the court, they are all given priority. If both counties have such resources, it depends on whether the local government can cooperate. The main roads have been built by the court. If you go to various counties, townships, and villages, do you have to think of ways to go to local governments?

If someone is willing to send someone back to his hometown to organize something, and ask the local government to come up with a supporting plan and mobilize as many people as possible to build the road to the countryside. In this way, the road is built and the road is repaired, wouldn’t it be truly well-connected?

For these areas where transportation becomes convenient after road construction, there will be many policies in the Shaofu Office. For example, if you are convenient for transportation, you can give you more salt, wine, etc., and many limited-purchase products can also be issued batches for you to get the goods to sell them at the place. Do you sound very excited? Are you eager to join?

Of course, this is just a trivial small initiative of the Shaofu Office, and it does not force participation or implementation.

Even if no one responds, the road will be repaired accordingly. The official road can have a smaller use, the policy tilt will be smaller, and it will not be certain when it will be built to your hometown.

Fusu's wording is very tactful and his meaning is also very tactful, but the people he interviewed are all humans, and he only feels one after hearing it-

Bah, shameless!

I made some new things every day to cheat my salary, and asked me to send someone back to my hometown to deceive my fellow villagers into voluntarily building roads!

The king was really cunning, obviously because they were embarrassed to be too embarrassed in front of Fusu, so they asked Fusu to ask them about such shameless evaluation indicators.

If they didn't make the decision, they would have to fight for it. If they couldn't convince their fellow villagers, wouldn't they be embarrassed?

It's so sinister!

Looking back, the county where their hometown is located cannot come up with a supporting county road construction plan, their faces are like being thrown on the ground and trampled!

It is said that a tree has a layer of skin and a person has a face. How can they not do this? Not only should this matter be done, but it also needs to be done quickly!

After returning, the officials who were in troubled by the tiger immediately wrote a letter and asked their confidant guests to return to their hometown to do business. They became high-ranking officials who were qualified to attend court and were willing to speak for their hometown. It was very important to speak in their hometown.

The guests carefully studied the paper "On the Promotion of Road Construction on Local Development" written by Fusu, and then took a look at the monopoly businesses produced by the Shaofu Office. They used their own tongue to lobby the county magistrates and wealthy families to join the road construction plan, so that they could hurry up and come up with supporting plans for road construction in towns and counties. Otherwise, the next county will take off with preferential policies, and you will not have any promotion or wealth!

My own people don’t care so much about speaking when they are closed. They are all about showing their interests and prospects. Many people can’t sit still and go back to discuss with their own family.

No one wants to listen to what you say about selfless dedication. Everyone is raised by their mother's parents. Who can be without selfishness?

But if you talk about real interests and real political achievements, there will be more people who will be moved!

In the next few days, local governments launched one mobilization after another, all about what benefits can be brought to everyone after the road is repaired.

You know, we are walking ourselves after the road is repaired!

Look at the Yunyang County in Xianyang, which was originally an ordinary small county. Now every household is rich, because of the convenient transportation and many preferential policies. I heard that people are making bacon and sausages every year, and they are sprinkled with large amounts of salt without blinking them!

Therefore, those who have money spend some money, those who don’t have money spend their efforts, and work together to repair the small road, waiting for the court to repair the main road!

After all, this is a matter of paying someone else's money bag, and not everyone is willing to respond. Fortunately, with the attractions of monopoly products, the counties quickly collected funds for road construction in townships and counties. Although the money has not been collected yet, the plan can be written.

When I went to court in the next few days, there were even fewer people who took the initiative to speak. Ying Zheng was a little puzzled.

A few days ago, weren’t we still discussing where to go to the road? Why is there no movement?

Ying Zheng was puzzled for a few days and couldn't help but call Fusu over and ask if the first phase of the road construction plan was planned and whether he had decided which county straight roads to build first.

Fusu has received road construction plans from the township and county sent to Zhidi in the past few days, and they were sent back by several nearby counties.

Fusu briefly explained the evaluation indicators he gave to Ying Zheng, saying that everyone responded too positively and were willing to pay for the court to cooperate with the court to build straight roads. He had to compare the plans sent by each county before making a decision.

Fusu also said to Ying Zheng very moved that the seniors in the court were all concerned about their hometowns, and the county magistrates in various places were also very efficient. They had mobilized so many people to participate in this road construction plan in just a few days.

From this we can see that they are all people with noble character and dedicated to the people!

After hearing Fusu's words, Ying Zheng's expression was a little hard to describe.

He asked the kid to determine which side to repair first. This is how he decided? He also asked others to come up with a supporting township and county road construction plan to choose for him. Do he know how many people will curse behind his back if he does this?

If it weren't for some fragrant bait to bite by others, it would be strange if someone would pay attention to such shameless evaluation indicators!

It's really urgent, so people have to jump up and scold me!

Seeing that Ying Zheng’s expression was wrong, Fusu couldn’t help but ask: “Father, is there any problem with me doing this?”

Ying Zheng met Fusu’s innocent eyes and was speechless for a moment.

If there is any problem, there will be no problem. How can he have the attitude to say it?

Ying Zheng said: "No problem, just do it."

Fusu nodded and went back to continue to supervise the construction of the Han Palace and the Zhao Palace.

After all the plans were delivered to Xianyang, Fusu picked up them one by one and picked out the most reliable copies to show Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng didn't want to interfere in this matter, he was shameless. However, Fusu sent the documents, so he couldn't drive Fusu back, so he could only pick them up and look them one by one.

Facts have proved that the top leaders in these places are quite capable of doing things, and the plans they come up with are very reliable, and the road conditions in various townships and counties are also described very clearly.

It seems that if they occasionally force things, their efficiency can be improved. Isn’t this done well now?

After discussing with Ying Zheng, Fusu announced the first phase of the project to be selected for the county, and said that if you have any objections, you can go to the Shaofu Yamen to check the road construction plans submitted by the township and county counties to each county.

After all this trouble, no one wants to be troublesome. After all, no one knows whether Ying Zheng and his son dig a hole in front of them for them to jump.

Do you think they won't learn a lesson?

Whoever jumps into the pit is a fool!

The first phase of the road construction plan was successfully finalized, and Fusu used the prisoners of Zhao and South Korea and arranged for them to carry out road construction work in full, recruiting local people as supervisors and doing some wage-rich work along the way, such as being responsible for making big pot rice, which was considered a small harvest for the people along the way.

The roads on the local area have also begun to be repaired or widened on the original basis. Those who work should be in labor service. Where there are not enough men, they spend some wages to hire people to work. The official road and the rural road are started at the same time, and both sides are moving in unison, working in full swing.

Because there have been some mobilizations in the countryside before, everyone has the awareness of building their own way to make their own way, and a large number of prisoners have reduced the burden of corvee labor. The people in various places have no complaints, but they are looking forward to the road leading to their own homes to be repaired quickly.

Maybe in the future they can not only go to the county town, but also go to Xianyang along the official road to take a look!

Even if you can't enter the city, it's good to take a look outside the city!

I feel hope in my heart, and I will not be so hard to do my job, and some people even take the initiative to work overtime.

The road construction of various counties is so vigorous, but the magistrate of Handan County sent back a bad note.

In the past two years, the Zhao court imposed heavy taxes and the people's family had been emptied.

Since they had just taken over Zhao State for a few months and had not really worked out, they recently suppressed two local turmoils and found that many people had been hungry for most of the winter, and they had not even eaten the bark and grass roots after spring!

The magistrate of Handan County wanted to make some achievements in Handan County. What was hateful is that most of the magistrates of each county were not the same as him, and they all felt that the people of Zhao would die if they died.

During this period, according to the arrangements of the superiors, the people who starved to death were not counted at all when they were naturalized, and they directly registered the remaining people.

As for reporting to the court and asking the court to allocate grain to provide disaster relief? What a joke, why should the food grown by the Qin people be given to the people of Zhao for free?

These people in Zhao cannot blame them for their hunger. If they want to blame, they blame King Zhao for being incompetent. They exploited them to the point of having nothing, and even destroyed their own country.

Under this general idea, the county magistrates assigned to the local area tacitly turned a blind eye to the famine that had been causing all winter, and only sent people to urge the living Zhao people to work in the fields during spring plowing.

When the magistrate of Handan County found that the situation was wrong, the problem was already very serious.

Now there is not much grain reserve in Handan County, and it is a year where people are not even able to grow grain. Some places where they sow seeds are severely drought. If this continues, many people may starve to death!

If the people cannot live a life, they will face either a sharp decline in population or a turmoil in the public. Therefore, the magistrate of Handan County quickly reported this major issue to the court.

This is a mess left by the war. Without the support of the imperial court, the governor of Handan County would have no choice but to do anything!

The author has something to say: Officials: Have you seen the pitfall in front of you?

All officials: Whoever dances is a fool!
