Chapter 81 Stepping Stones on the Emperor's Road (recommended ticket)
……

a few days later.

On the Zhuwei Lake, which is tens of thousands of acres, there are already hundreds of ships working in it.

Those ships, including transport ships, dredging ships, etc., are all suitable for use in calm inland rivers.In order to collect these ships, Wang Shouzhe also used a lot of connections.

Especially on the Chen's side of Donggang, there are also waterways in the inland, there are many kinds of boats, and there are also a lot of shipbuilding workshops.

To say that Chen Fangjie, the future brother-in-law, is not bad. With his help, he spared no effort to help from buying small old boats to custom-made dredging boats, and was also responsible for the transportation by the way.

The future brother-in-law is very good, and Wang Shouzhe will naturally not be stingy.On the pretext of the other party's previous help, Wang Shouzhe directly offered [-] dan of newly-produced wheat grain. As long as it was processed by a mill, it would be the best flour.

The sifted bran was used to raise meat and animals in previous years, but it is also a hot commodity this year.

In previous years, although these [-] dans of new wheat were quite valuable, this season was extra different.Because the output of new wheat is very small, the value is far from comparable to previous years.

In this wave of cooperation with Wang Shouzhe, Donggang Chen also secretly gained a huge benefit.

You must know that many children of aristocratic families are used to eating polished rice and noodles, and their requirements are not low, which is much harder to serve than ordinary people.

All in all, both parties are very happy.

With the rapid gathering of inland ships, Wang Shouzhe's "hundred-year project" was also quickly launched.

Before that, the family also dredged part of the river every winter, and the silt was used to fill the fields.But at that time, the work mode was carried out in a way of five people and one ship.

One man drives the boat, and four use rakes to dredging.Then drive to the destination, unload the silt, and then sail back to dredging...

It sounds like there is no problem, but in fact this working mode is very inefficient.Small-scale dredging in winter is mainly to take advantage of slack farming, and the efficiency is low.

But under the huge project, every little manpower saved is a huge saving in the long run.

Under the instruction of Wang Shouzhe, the dredging workers are all strong laborers. After a group of five people boarded the empty boat, they quickly loaded the boat with a dredging rake, and then replaced an empty boat to continue dredging.

The boat drivers are a little older, they don't need to participate in dredging, they only need to go back and forth.After arriving at the destination, a group of people specially unloaded the ship, and a group of people specially filled the soil.

After emptying, the ship unloader will replenish the empty rattan and bamboo baskets inside the ship.The boat driver immediately drove the boat back and entered the next round of operations.

After some attempts and adjustments, a set of assembly-line operations was gradually formed.

The rakes used by the dredgers are very heavy, and there are iron bars all around, especially the sharpened iron bars at the planer, and there is a relatively dense rattan space in the middle, which requires a lot of effort.

But when this rake comes up, it can hold fifty or sixty catties of silt, and it can fill a large rattan and bamboo basket in three or two strokes. A smaller boat can only hold a dozen or twenty rattan and bamboo baskets.

A larger ship, the kind specially used for dredging and inland river transportation, can hold more than 100 rattan and bamboo baskets at once.The largest ship can hold more than 300 rattan and bamboo baskets.

A group of five dredgers, plus the time to rest in turn, can dig about [-] baskets in an hour on average.Therefore, for the slightly larger ships, several groups of people and horses are all on board together, and finally a group of dredging workers are left to finish the work.

In addition, there are some women with weak constitutions, children, and the elderly, who will be responsible for auxiliary work such as weaving rattan and bamboo baskets, cooking, cleaning, or leveling the site in the muddy ground.

Overall, the dredging and filling work has proceeded very smoothly.

At present, there are 400 groups of dredging workers, a total of 150 people, 50 boatmen, 80 mud unloaders, 100 mud fillers, and less than [-] other auxiliary workers.

The total number of workers in the project reached nearly 800.

But even so, the dredging and filling in one day is about three or four thousand cubic meters, which is about one-two thousandth of the first phase of the project.

According to today's human and material resources, even if this is done every day, it will take about six years to complete the first phase of the project.And it does not include the rainy season, cold winter and other bad weather can not be constructed.

However, it is not easy to open up territory and develop family property.

The ancestors of the Wang family did not know how much effort and time it took to gradually bring Ping An Town to the current situation.It is not an easy task for human beings to conquer nature.

Wang Shouzhe's awning boat was rowing quietly in Zhuwei Lake, watching the construction in progress not far away.

"Brother Shouzhe." Liu Yuanrui also said with emotion, "At this time, I realized how difficult it was for my ancestors to develop the family foundation. Every family business has the life-long efforts of our ancestors in it."

"Yes, in the past, when the ancestor Zhou Xuan went south, the entire Ping'an Town area was a wild place where beasts were rampant." Wang Shouzhe was also full of emotion. "At that time, the ancestors were much more difficult than us."

Wang Shouzhe stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the vast Zhuwei Lake.It looks like such a huge project, but the actual construction area only occupies a small part: "We have to continue to increase the scale of construction. Now in the Ping'an Town area, there are still many people who can't eat."

Among the current 800 people, many are tenant farmers of the Wang family, and even some collateral descendants of the Wang family who came to participate in the construction and management.The number of personnel recruited from outside is only 500.

To really quell the disaster, it is not enough to recruit so many workers.The team has to be expanded, and the dredging boats have to be expanded.At least, the entire construction team has to reach two to 3000 people.

It is not easy to carry out large-scale projects under such conditions of relatively low productivity, and the progress is also slow with a lot of manpower and material resources.

But for the basic project of dredging and filling, there is no good way other than to create an assembly line for construction, and he does not have the ability to manufacture large excavators.

After satisfying Liu Yuanrui's interest in swimming in the lake, Wu Peng boat returned to the main house.

At this time, Wang Zhong sent someone to report that the scattered cultivator who had killed a rich peasant before had been found out where he was hiding.Not far from Dingpu Ferry, a remote warehouse.

Wang Shouzhe's eyes froze, killing intent revealed.

He does not discriminate against loose cultivators, and many loose cultivators have had a hard time.However, what he hated the most were those loose cultivators who committed unscrupulous crimes and then walked away with a pat on the butt.

……

time flies.

A remote warehouse is a place specially used by a certain family to store salted and smoked fish.

The sales of smoked fish have been excellent recently, and the inventory has been emptied, but it is still full of fishy smell.

Several of the loose cultivators with fierce expressions were all sitting weakly, and their morale was quite low.

"Boss, is there no news from the Liu family?" A man in his 30s said anxiously, "Isn't it so difficult to arrange a boat to cross the river?"

"The Wang family doesn't know what's going on. They actually let the deputy guard Wang Dingzu blockade the Dingpu Ferry, and even sent officers and soldiers to guard some wild ferries. It's clear that they are targeting us." A 40-year-old, The middle-aged Sanxiu with a scar on his face said with a cold face, "Everyone just endure it a little longer, just survive this wave of limelight."

"Boss, I heard that the Wang Clan and Liu Clan fought each other." Another loose cultivator said worriedly, "Do you think Liu Clan will kill us to silence us?"

"They dare!" The Knife Scar Loose Cultivator sneered, "It's not the first time we've done some shameful things for the Liu family. I've already left all kinds of evidence in my hands. Once something happens to us, someone will The evidence was sent to the deputy guard envoy Wang Ding's clan. Given the relationship between the Wang family and the Liu family, there is no way to let it go."

Scattered cultivators mingle all over the world, and they go wherever they have interests. Of course, some noble families must use them as spearmen. I have heard more and more about the bridges crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to kill people.

Therefore, the loose cultivator is not a fool. It is natural to take money to do things for you, but it is almost impossible to eat it afterward.The loose cultivators who can hang around until they are a few decades old and are still alive are all human beings. How can the dangers they have experienced in their lives are comparable to those of the children of aristocratic families?

"The boss is wise, the boss is wise. When you turn around and take a breath, you must cut a piece of meat off Liu Shi."

The rest of the loose cultivators also breathed a sigh of relief, and they all praised the boss and scolded Liu.

It doesn't matter if you endure it for a while, it's just fine to endure the limelight.Those people from the Wang family are just pretending to gain a wave of prestige, and it's not the rich peasants in your land that died.

at this time.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The applause sounded, and at the same time, a young man's voice came from outside: "Listen to all of you, how do these loose cultivators do things? They all learn a little bit, and they have to leave a way for themselves in everything. It's a good philosophy of survival."

"Yes, fourth brother." The two boys answered honestly.

"Don't be long-winded, you're done."

"Luoqiu, fourth brother is very reasonable. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be someone more powerful than you in this world."

The faces of those loose cultivators became very ugly.

The leader of the Knife Scar Loose Cultivator is somewhat calm: "Since Your Excellency has already touched your door, you must have come prepared. Why don't you talk about it?"

talking room.

Wang Shouzhe led his two younger brothers and two younger sisters into the warehouse together.

He did not directly answer the loose cultivator's words, but continued to say to his younger brothers and sisters: "You must remember, if you want people to know nothing, you must do it yourself. Our ancestor Zhou Xuan of the Wang family went south to open up Ping'an Town, slaying monsters and beasts. Territory, let the children of the Wang family and thousands of civilians have a place to live and live. Those of us descendants, we dare not say that we are comparable to the merits of our ancestors, but we must protect our home and guard our bottom line. Shame on the ancestors."

"You have to keep in mind that families like Liu's and Zhao's do things regardless of the law and have no bottom line." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "It can be rampant for a while, but it can't be arrogant for a lifetime. Those clansmen will sooner or later bring destruction to the entire family. disaster."

"Yes, fourth brother." Wang Luojing nodded heavily.

Wang Shouyong and Wang Shoulian were also a little excited, and their faces flushed with excitement.Our Wang family is an orthodox family passed down by Zhou Xuan's ancestors, which is fundamentally different from the jackal family of the Liu family's Zhao family.

"I, Wang Luoqiu, you don't need to remember my name." Wang Luoqiu's eyes burst out with a stern and sturdy aura, "I shoulder the expectations of my ancestors in the sky, and I am bound to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise of the Wang family. You villains, you are all stepping stones on this lady's road to the emperor, the experience is strange!"

"boom!"

Wang Luoqiu rushed into the scattered cultivator group like a cannonball.

Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched.

Can this little aunt not worry, my family's sense of honor and the correct three-view education are not over yet?

This girl's petty temper!

……

　PK did not PK up, but there are still quite a lot of recommendation votes cast by brothers and sisters.Therefore, it can only be listed on the 1st.I hope that brothers and sisters will give more support at that time, and I hope that there will be a decent subscription, so that I can have a recommended position in the future.All thanks to everyone's support. PS: My mentality is still very stable. After all, this book is not an early stage force. Since we can’t beat it in the early stage, let’s go to the middle and late stages.
