Chapter 5 Lever loading and unloading, take it all in
"Please rest assured, Master Five Hundred, we will definitely complete the task on time." All the commanders and corps commanders expressed their stance that they did not want to cause trouble.
Everyone is here to serve, not to compete for military merit or future.
"good."
Zhao Shu nodded, waved his hand and said: "Starting from tomorrow, we will divide the work and cooperate as I said, try to save energy, and finish the work on time."
"promise."
Everyone left and went back to the shade to rest. As Huang stood there, Zhao Shu had a general understanding of this area.
Those who participate in management and supervision are those who have earned and inherited titles from their families. Those who are young and strong in the military and have not inherited titles still have to work, but it is a relatively easy and safe job.
As for dangerous things like digging mountains, quarrying stones, and transporting stones, all of them are prisoners.
In fact, this division of labor is very humane.
Zhao Shu shook his head to get rid of distracting thoughts and walked from the mining site to the stone processing area and finally to the stone storage area.
Then write calculations on the ground.
He decided to repair three roads in three places here to form a triangle to ensure safe and fast transportation.
In the stone area, there are some edge materials that can be used completely.
After finishing his work, Zhao Shu also came to the shade and stayed with the corps commanders, chiefs, and the prisoners responsible for quarrying in this area.
"Master Five Hundred, what were you drawing just now?" Shi Changmao raised his head and asked the doubts in his heart.
After unscrewing the water bag and taking a sip of water, Zhao Shu chuckled: "I found that the road from the quarry, to the stone area, to the place where the stone is stored is full of potholes, which is not conducive to vehicle traffic."
"When it rains, it will be muddy, and sometimes the wheels are deeply sunk, making it impossible to walk."
While talking, Zhao Shu drew three circles on the ground. Wu Changliu on the side also responded, saying: "Master Five Hundred is right. For this reason, we have been unable to complete the task many times. Every time
Everyone else has taken a break, but we are still working hard.”
"As a result, when the wind is high and the sky is dark, accidents are easy to happen. Our quarrying side often suffers the most casualties..."
Several people communicated without lowering their voices. The prisoners in the shade also looked over. The dead ones were all prisoners.
When life is at stake, they have to take it seriously.
Seeing all the prisoners looking over, Zhao Shu smiled: "I just took a look and found that there are a lot of scraps and scraps in the stone area. I think people in the stone area also saw the new stone cutting tools developed by the imperial court."
"It's easy to smooth the stone."
Zhao Shu moved the wooden stick in his hand: "If we build a road from the quarry to the stone area, we can use the scraps to sort out and pave it."
"Build a line from the stone area to the storage area, and then build a line from the storage area to the quarry. When the time comes, we can completely start from the quarry to form a cycle."
"Besides, I have a way to save energy and lift the rocks and load them into the truck. In this way, we can complete the specified tasks."
"From now on, we will never miss the morning meal or the evening meal. All the work will be done during the day. There is no need to work at night, thus reducing the risk."
Having said this, Zhao Shu glanced at the commander, the corps commander, and the prisoners: "What do you think?"
"Lord Five Hundred, paving the road takes a lot of effort, and are you sure it will save time?" Yasuo Shicho asked.
"The purpose of paving the road is for your safety, and also for everyone to complete the task better. As for whether it saves time or not, it will definitely save time."
Zhao Shu pointed to the picture on the ground: "Let's not talk about other things, just because the car can flow smoothly on the road, it will save some time and energy."
"good."
Seeing everyone nodding, Zhao Shu nodded slightly: "For the sake of a better life in the future, you will have to work hard for the next few days."
"We have to complete the task during normal hours, smooth the road, and pave the road. We stay after the twilight eclipse and everyone rests."
"In order to rest on time in the future, I can only rest less these days."
"All the prisoners were responsible for smoothing the road surface, grinding the leftover materials, and then paving the road. I led a group of corps commanders and even commanders to make tools for loading trucks to reduce everyone's burden."
"good."
The prisoners nodded one after another. Zhao Shu might have other reasons, but all the results were beneficial to them.
As the sun disappeared, everyone began to take action, leaving Yasuo to supervise the prisoners. Zhao Shu led everyone to make ropes, make ropes, and cut trees.
People in other types of work were laying out their work, waiting for the evening meal, but in this area of mountain quarrying, whether they were chiefs or prisoners, they were all working enthusiastically and began to roll up.
There are a lot of trees, so it's no problem to chop a few, but hemp rope needs to be applied for from Gu before it can be used.
In desperation, Zhao Shu could only weave it with vines and improvise first. When the actual thing was made, Gu could take a look. If he was sure it was effective, he could apply for hemp rope to tie it up.
Within an hour, Zhao Shu and others had prepared nine loading and unloading tools, three in the quarry, three in the stone material area, and three in the storage area.
"Master Five Hundred, the things are ready, do you want to try the effect?" Wu Changliu, eyes full of excitement, asked Zhao Shu for instructions.
"It's good to give it a try, otherwise, the superiors won't be able to apply for hemp ropes." Zhao Shu nodded and directed everyone to start tying up the stones.
After the bundling was completed, there were three people per team, responsible for pressing down from behind. Zhao Shu said "start" and everyone worked hard together. With a long squeak, the stone was lifted up.
Afterwards, Zhao Shu directed everyone to turn left and right, and the stones followed, which was an eye-opener for everyone.
If they had known earlier, it would have been better for them to transport small stones before. Once they encountered large stones, hundreds or thousands of people would work together to pull them with hemp ropes and roll them with logs. It would take a lot of time, manpower and material resources.
Moreover, casualties can easily occur during this process.
The demonstration of loading and unloading tools made these prisoners, the corps commander, and the chief completely recognize Zhao Shu as the five hundred masters, and they became active in paving the way.
…
Tingwei Mansion Official Office.
Zhang Han worked hard and brought the digging tools to the official office of Tingwei Mansion, where he found Li Si, who was then Tingwei.
Tingwei Li Si was the real supervisor of the Lishan Mausoleum. When he saw Li Si, Zhang Han explained his purpose and then gave a demonstration.
"Tingwei, this is just a small stone to let you understand the process. Over there in Lishan Mountain, I saw with my own eyes that a large piece of stone was cut open with a neat cross-section along a line. It only requires a little more precision at the back.
If you repair it, it will be of great use."
After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Han turned to Li Si and said, "It's just that this tool needs to be made of iron, and there are also new tools for quarrying..."
After Zhang Han's explanation, Li Si's expression did not change: "I still have this bit of iron in Da Qin, but this young man won't join the Shaofu?"
"But wait until the service is over and join the army?"
