The middle-aged scribe was sitting casually on a roofless bullock cart.
Although he looked drunk, his eyes were clear.
After entering Lulong City, he was not in a hurry to stay at the hotel indicated by the city gatekeeper. Instead, he said hello to the guards around him.
With a tall warrior accompanying him, he walked slowly along the main road.
This section of the road is extremely smooth and wide. There is a hardened bottom layer under the road, and a layer of cement is laid on the upper layer, which is enough for three vehicles to travel parallelly.
Drainage ditches have been built on both sides of the road, and shade trees have been planted across the road.
The scribe often lived in Yecheng and once traveled to Luoyang and Chang'an to study.
He has seen city walls that are grander and taller than this Lulong City, and he has seen the bluestone main road that is large enough for eight cars to run parallel to each other.
But in this small border town of Lulong, the roads are not very wide and the flow of people seems to be extremely dense.
The middle-aged scribe saw a vitality that he rarely saw in other places.
The residents of the city passed by them carrying trucks carrying goods.
On the contrary, they were walking slowly and leisurely, which seemed a bit too leisurely.
The scribe turned sideways to avoid a fully loaded vehicle.
He looked thoughtfully at the cement road under his feet, then looked up at the passing vehicles.
This kind of hand-operated cart is very interesting. It is a wooden wheelbarrow with handlebars shaped like sheep's horns and a tripod hung between the handlebars.
It can carry people and cargo.
Full of cargo, it looked as if it would topple over at any moment, but its wheels rolled and it glided through the crowds of people with extraordinary flexibility.
Another shirtless man, with a sweat towel draped over his shoulders, pushed a load of goods by.
The middle-aged scribe made a mental estimate of the weight of the goods carried in the man's car.
I found that the transport capacity of this kind of ramrod cart has increased several times compared with usual.
The scribe paused, and the tall warrior beside him also stopped.
"Mr. Li?" The warrior accompanying him was puzzled.
The scribe, who was called Mr. Li, chuckled and tapped his toes on the hard cement road.
"No need to keep walking."
The man called Mr. Li was Li Li, the former ruler of Han Fu.
After Han Fu ceded Jizhou to Yuan Shao, Li Li resigned and returned to his hometown, where he wasted several years.
Last month I received a letter from my former boss Liu Hui and came all the way here.
Li Li adjusted his clothes and said to the accompanying warriors: "Let's go to the county temple and pay homage to Mr. Liu."
"Captain Zhao!"
Zhao Yun, who was standing in the captain's camp at the barrier, met with another steward who sent Qu Qingzhuang to his home.
The steward was born with a smile on his face and greeted Zhao Yun respectfully.
Zhao Yun is not arrogant just because he is just in charge.
He put down the small carving knife in his hand and placed the small object he was carving on the table.
The first batch of young laborers from the wealthy families in Lulong County had already come to Lulongsai under Ye Yao's persuasion.
But the rest were sent by them spontaneously.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world, let alone smart people who seek profit.
As the Luronce project progressed, a number of intermediary and contractor-like businesses gradually emerged.
They led young people from their own families or those from other families to come to Lulongse in groups to participate in the construction.
On the one hand, it can increase one's own contribution to the Lulong Chamber of Commerce, and on the other hand, it can also exploit idle bankers and obtain rewards from Lulong officials.
As a result, Qing Zhuang, who was originally hiding in various family manors, joined Lu Longsai's project, and the progress of the project was greatly improved.
Based on the original Qin Great Wall, there are Rongtai checkpoints all over.
The road between the original Lulong County and Lulongsai is also under repair. Until the end of July, the road conditions connecting the two places will be improved by two levels.
However, some troubles also occurred during this period.
Once these contractors obtain profits, they want to embezzle more.
Cement was an absolutely prohibited material designated by Gongsun Yan. After asking for it in many ways to no avail, these people began to think about other things.
There are endless methods of bribery, theft, false declaration of employment, etc. There are even cases where workers have cement in their mouths and want to take it out of the construction site to sell it.
The emergence of these situations has made the work of the picket office under Zhang Zhu's jurisdiction increasingly busy.
Fortunately, the County Central Government School urgently trained a group of useful petty officials.
Even half-grown children like Erlang of the Lin family were sent to Zhang's subordinates.
Picketing and killing a group of people can be considered a shock.
In addition, while obtaining double benefits, these contractors did not forget to deprive their workers of food.
Household laborers did high-intensity labor without any rest from sunrise to sunset, and were deducted several steamed buns every day.
Finally, a worker compared the difference between himself and the residents of Lulong County who recruited workers.
He plucked up the courage, and with the help of his coworkers, he ran away at night and came to the Zhansai Duwei's camp to complain.
Zhao Yun had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, so he took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation to take all the young men of the big families in Lulongsai into the county labor camp for unified management.
Although there are remarks that the project will be returned after the project is completed to comfort people, everyone knows that the Lulong County project will not end in a short period of time.
The big families in the county suffered a loss and lost part of their youth, but apart from severely punishing those managers who were too harsh and violated the rules, they could not blame anyone morally.
Even after increasing his contribution and getting more product tickets, he had to grit his teeth and continue to send Qingzhuang, the craftsman in the village.
Until this time, every family in the county still acquiesced that Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun would abide by the family's unspoken rules.
Zhao Yun politely exchanged a few words with the steward and sent him out.
From a distance, I saw a familiar face striding towards me.
"Brother!"
The person who came here was running from both ends recently, and he was extremely busy and open.
He opened his arms to Zhao Yun from a distance.
There are no outsiders here, and they are not here for official business, so the two of them are not commensurate with their duties.
"Anyuan." Zhao Yun also had a smile on his face when he saw him. He was happy to step out of the shadows.
After the two greeted each other, Zhao Yunzheng wanted to invite Zhang Zhu into the tent for a chat.
There was a wry smile on his open face.
What kind of temperament does the lady in front of them have? How can she leave any free time for him to reminisce about the past?
"No need, brother." Zhang Zhu stopped outside the camp, "This time Madam Yan ordered me to thoroughly inspect the prisoners in the labor camp to see if there are any who have been accused of injustice and can be used."
Inspired by Liu Hui, Gongsun Yan, who was really short of people, decided to target the prisoners in Lulong County.
Trying to find one or two more people like Liu Hui.
Even if not, I would like to see if I can filter out some available people.
"I came here again just to bring a letter to my brother."
Zhang Zhang took out a bulging letter from his arms.
Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun separated from each other when their love was at its peak, so naturally they wrote letters to convey their love.
Although carrier pigeons deliver messages quickly, they cannot write many words.
So Zhang Zhu and others who worked between the two places came in handy and acted as messengers.
