"Replying to King Qianhuang, these people were previously responsible for building roads, walls, and houses in Qianhuang City..."
"I have gathered all of them here. Besides some professionals from the Ministry of Industry, there are also quite a few skilled hands from the public."
Deng Yushan stood beside Shen Yong with his waist slightly bent, looking at the people in the yard, feeling very excited.
Because of the drought, these people didn't know how long they hadn't worked. Who knew that once they had work to do, it would be a big job.
Building the entire city is a huge project, and it requires the participation of the entire nation.
Shen Yong put his hands behind his back and glanced at the faces of hundreds of people in the courtyard.
There were many familiar faces here, which he had seen at the recruit registration office.
If you have the strength to build a house, you naturally meet the requirements for military service.
"Those who are building the road stand in one row, those who are building the city wall stand in one row, and those who are building the houses stand in one row!"
As soon as Shen Yong finished speaking, the hundreds of people in the yard automatically found their teams and stood in line quickly.
"What did you guys do before?"
Shen Yong looked at the twenty or thirty people on his right who were standing together and not joining any team.
The person standing at the head looked at King Qian Huang and knelt down.
"Reply---Reply to King Qianhuang, I am a carpenter..."
Seeing this, the others also knelt down and replied,
"Replying to King Qianhuang, I am a blacksmith..."
"Replying to King Qianhuang, I am good at making ceramics..."
"Replying to King Qianhuang, I am good at wood carving..."
“.......”
"Everyone, get up!"
Shen Yong looked at the people kneeling on the ground and raised his hand.
Magistrate Deng really gathered all the capable people in the city.
There was no need for him to do such trivial things himself.
Look, everyone from Qianhuang City’s Ministry of Industry is here too.
Shen Yong looked at Deng Yushan,
"These matters are now your responsibility. Discuss with the people from the Ministry of Industry and bring the plan to me for my review."
"Remember, there must be no cutting of corners on these important projects."
"Anyone who cuts corners, embezzles, or commits corruption in these matters will be killed immediately!"
Shen Yong said these words in front of everyone, deliberately for these people to hear.
It's not like he hasn't worked before. In an office, there are always a few people who just talk and flatter but don't do any work.
This kind of person is particularly good at bullying others and taking advantage of opportunities.
Deng Yushan was startled, and immediately clasped his hands together and saluted Chen Yong.
"Yes, I will definitely supervise it! I will not allow anyone to cut corners."
If anyone dares to mess with such a good thing that benefits the people, he will be the first one to not let those people go.
Qianhuang City has been harassed by Huofeng City every year, and the people in the city have suffered terribly. Now that the city walls have been reinforced and raised, the sneak attacks from Huofeng City can be greatly reduced.
This was something he had always dreamed of doing, but the city was so poor and there was nothing to eat or drink, so the project had never been started.
Now someone is providing abundant food, drink and materials to build Qianhuang City. He will keep a close eye on the entire process and not allow anyone to interfere.
After Shen Yong glanced at Deng Yushan nonchalantly, he turned his gaze to the many people present and said in a loud voice,
"This city-wide construction project is massive. It naturally requires the concerted efforts and participation of all the city's citizens."
After that, he paused for a moment, then announced loudly,
"I am now officially announcing that all residents participating in this construction project will receive four fragrant white flour buns, one mouth-watering meat bun, and one delicious vegetable bun every day. Furthermore, there will be an unlimited supply of rice soup, ensuring everyone has enough to drink!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers and applause.
However, Shen Yong did not stop there, he continued loudly,
"In addition, women from all over the city can also sign up to participate in logistics work, mainly responsible for cooking for everyone. Of course, these women who cook can also enjoy the same generous treatment as men."
As soon as the words fell, the scene was once again filled with excitement. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement, and they shouted,
"Thank you, King Qianhuang!!"
At this moment, the whole scene was extremely lively and everyone's face was filled with brilliant smiles.
Among them, the craftsmen among the people were particularly excited. They shouted at the top of their lungs, and their voices were deafening.
After all, who doesn’t have one or two women who are good at cooking?
Now that the men in the family go out to work, and adding in the rations received by the women who cook, the food they get in a day is enough for the whole family, young and old, to have a good meal for the whole day, and they will definitely be full, and there will even be some left over!
Deng Yushan looked at Shen Yong excitedly.
"...Yes, I will notify them immediately."
This is a good thing. For the people of Qianhuang City, this is like pie falling from the sky...
That night, people were still lining up to recruit soldiers at the parade ground, and the news of the city-wide construction spread among the crowd.
When those who signed up to join the army heard that they could not only receive military pay, but also receive rations for participating in the construction of the entire city, they were very excited.
That night, the entire Qianhuang City was as festive as New Year's Day.
The soldiers in the military camp ate meat dumplings, which they might not even be able to eat during the Chinese New Year.
People from every household signed up to join the army. In the evening, smoke rose from every household, and the long-lost aroma of meat wafted from every home.
Thinking about participating in the construction of the entire city and getting food the next day, the people gritted their teeth that night and cut some meat to make soup, so that their families could have a taste of meat.
The next day, the number of people who signed up to participate in the construction of the entire city was larger than the number of soldiers.
The number of women who have registered is almost catching up with the number of men who have registered.
The people in line had lost the anxious and worried expressions they had when signing up for the army. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and they kept praising King Qianhuang...
"Seventh Brother, I will take your sisters-in-law and be responsible for organizing all the women in the city to cook."
Madam Shen looked at Shen Yong with great energy, her eyes full of excitement.
I had a busy day yesterday and slept very soundly at night. It was a very comfortable feeling.
The six sisters-in-law of Cheng Suihua looked at Chen Yong with bright eyes.
"Seventh brother, we can help too. We organized everyone to cook yesterday, so we already have experience."
Worried that Chen Yong would refuse, the sisters-in-law quickly brought up their successful experience from yesterday.
