Chapter 556: Our Crown Prince is really awesome (Update 2)

However, in Lin Tongzhi’s heart, the little prince is really a god-like existence.

The four great families that troubled their prefect and had always brought huge obstacles to their disaster relief, with just a few words from His Royal Highness, the four family heads were bleeding heavily.

Sure enough, His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness!

Lin Tongzhi looked at the boxes of silver and felt very happy. You know, building a dam is too expensive, but the court has not implemented this money.

The officials in Gusu are all worried that the dam will break during the construction because of insufficient silver.

Now they are not worried anymore.

This is 250,000 taels of silver!

Although it is definitely impossible to build the embankment with this little silver, at least there is no need to worry in the short term.

The silver has been paid, and no matter how unwilling it is, it cannot be taken back. If you don't ask about the things you should ask, then the silver is really wasted.

"Mr. Tongzhi, I see that the people on the river bank seem to like to do corvée, which is not the case in the past."

The first person to speak was Zheng Shanfu.

Lin Tongzhi: "Do corvée? Who said that the people are doing corvée? They are all craftsmen hired by the government, and they are paid every day."

"Such a long river bank, so many people, how much silver does it cost every day? The government is too rich!!"

Zheng Shanfu sighed subconsciously.

"Where does the government have money? It was all used up during the disaster relief. This is all the responsibility of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Speaking of the Crown Prince, Lin Tongzhi was really grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Zheng Shanfu was slightly stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Well, he finally knew why they lost so much money today! It turned out that

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was responsible for paying the wages to these people!

They just bumped into each other.

Lin Tongzhi couldn't help but start boasting.

Before, he had always thought that the best at making money was the Fifth Prince. He opened the No. 1 restaurant in the world as soon as he said it would, and it was not enough to open it. He also made a name for himself in such a short time and quickly attracted so many wealthy customers. He not only made a lot of money, but also provided for the disaster victims.

He was really good at making money.

But now, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called a deer a horse and forcibly took 250,000 taels of silver from the four heads of the family, in Lin Tongzhi's heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ability quickly surpassed that of the Fifth Prince.

They had to be convinced by the people of Gusu to meet such a serious and responsible disaster relief official who was not afraid to take responsibility!

It was also a blessing for the people of Gusu!

Lin Tongzhi has a problem. Once he starts talking, he can't stop.

"Don't worry, the four heads of the family, all this money will be used to build the dikes in our Gusu City. Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, our dikes are made of concrete and cement."

Lin Tongzhi started to show off, "These two things are really amazing! Not only are they fast, but they are also very strong and sturdy. The key is that they can also reduce the burden on the people. If this method is used to build dikes in the future, it will really save time and effort, and increase the speed."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are really capable people. They can even make such convenient, easy-to-use, high-quality and cheap things!"

The four heads of the family looked at each other, and they finally understood why they saw such a scene when they were on the dike just now.

It was a completely different scene from what they had imagined about building a dam.

Cement and concrete?

They had heard about cement a few times before, and heard that it was used to build dams last year, but that was only used in other places, and the Jiangnan region just dealt with it perfunctorily.

After all, the previous batch of Jiangnan officials were all focused on money, so who cared whether the dam should be built?

Unexpectedly, cement combined with concrete could achieve such a shocking effect!

The head of the Yang family knew in his heart that his first strategy was useless.

Just looking at the spirit of the people on the dam, it was clear that it was impossible to incite the people's emotions to cause trouble.

It was estimated that the people who were arranged would be tied up and beaten by these people as soon as they started to incite emotions.

The people who were building the dike didn't feel tired at all, but worked very hard. What would happen if someone was at fault for the prince?

Facts have proved that what the head of the Yang family thought was not wrong at all. It can be said that he was as good as a god.

The young men he arranged didn't work properly all day long. They just looked around and didn't keep their eyes open. They stared here and there, but they didn't work hard.

They had been taught a lesson several times by the people who came to work like them. These people mainly preached.

At the beginning, they still tried their best to explain to these young men the truth -

this dike was built for our entire Gusu City and for the people of Gusu. His Royal Highness the Prince provided food and money.

You all are so strong and healthy, and you eat so much every day, but you don’t do much work?

This won’t do!

These people can’t get a word in. There are so many people around them, and each of them opens their mouths and says a few words, which makes their heads buzzing, and they can’t even refute.

Not to mention refutation, they can’t even get a word in.

It can be said that these people’s brains and ears have suffered a lot in the past few days.

Later, after a few people studied it, they felt that in order to complete the task given by the head of the family, they should take the initiative to attack, and they can’t be so passive.

Then, they began to look for targets, trying to incite the people’s dissatisfaction.

To be honest, this target is really too difficult to find.

It can be said that the people on the dikes were really grateful to the prince and treated him as a benefactor.

The few people finally selected two or three people and thought that these two or three people were very easy to attack. They thought that starting with these people would increase the success rate of this matter.

However, these people never thought that these three or two people they selected were also pretending! !

They were fanning the flames, and those people nodded after hearing it. The voices of agreement were louder than theirs, and they all thought that what they said made a lot of sense.

They thought that the things the master had given them were stable, and as long as there was chaos on the embankment, the master would definitely reward them greatly.

Several young men had already begun to imagine how they would spend the reward money from the master, and then they saw a group of yamen runners rushing over and directly tied them up.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard another voice from behind, "Sir, it's them!"

The people who came were the breakthrough points among the people that they had spent several days carefully selecting.
