Chapter 924 New Defense Line Construction Begins.
Remove the slave status, grant the household registration that only the Han tribe people have, and also get land to settle down, marry and have children, and get paid for work in the future? These conditions, spoken by the supervisor, made everyone feel incredible. "We don't have to mine anymore? As long as we build roads for the Han tribe, we can get rid of the slave status?!" Someone else asked in disbelief. "That's right, the leader will not joke with you about this kind of thing. If the leader says he will give you household registration, he will definitely give you household registration." The supervisor heard the slaves' questions and immediately confirmed it. Now that the Xin tribe has perished, even the people of the Xin tribe have been incorporated into the Han tribe. There is really no need to treat these warriors of the Xin tribe as slaves. They are different from the cannibals in the north. The cannibals are not worthy of being treated as human beings, but these people in the Xin tribe are human beings, they are just prisoners of war. If these people are willing to submit, then Luo Chong does not mind giving them household registration, and it will just increase the registered population. In addition, the railway construction will definitely be the key construction project of the Han tribe in the future. Using these people as the first batch of railway workers, and then promising them household registration as a reward, and letting them study hard, they will definitely be able to train a group of professional railway workers, which is very rare. As long as this group of workers can be trained, the scale of the Han tribe's railway workers can be quickly expanded in the future, laying a good talent foundation for the construction of future major projects, so Luo Chong made such a decision. The slaves were excited when they heard the news that the leader of the Han tribe wanted to exempt them from their slave status. Although they didn't know why Luo Chong made such a decision, and didn't know what kind of road the Han tribe wanted them to build, as long as the leader of the Han tribe didn't lie to them, it didn't matter. The Han leader shouldn't lie to them, right? It shouldn't be, after all, the Han tribe is so powerful, how could the leader lie to them specifically because of their small number of people? ! The slaves thought in their hearts, and communicated with each other quickly, stuffing cornmeal buns into their mouths while discussing with the slaves around them. "Hey, you say, since our Zhudao has been taken over by the Han tribe, if we can get the household registration of the Han tribe in the future, can we still return to our hometown to settle down?" "Who knows, or you can ask the supervisor?" "If you want to go, go, I dare not!" "Who cares whether he can go back or not, as long as it is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Han tribe, how much difference can it make? Anyway, we will live the same life. Besides, what's the use of registering your household registration in your hometown? Did n't you hear what the supervisor said just now? Wait until we finish building this road, and then we will be registered. But even if we are registered in the future, we still have to continue to follow the team to build the road, and we will not let you go home to farm. It's just that we will be paid for the road construction in the future." "That's much better. Even if we still do hard labor, it's different with wages. We are working for ourselves, and we can use the money to find a wife and have children." Everyone was chattering and discussing while talking and eating. As for disagreeing? Do you still want to continue to be slaves? Sorry, no, even if there really is one, it would have been strangled to death by the people in the same group. Why keep such a scourge? It will only bring trouble to everyone. Now that the Han tribe has offered such good conditions, everyone is already very satisfied. At least it is much better than the life of a coolie in the coal mine with no hope of getting ahead. Although it is still hard to build roads and sleep in the open air, at least there is hope, isn't it? After everyone finished their meal, no one raised any objections. The personnel of each village sat honestly in their original places and waited for instructions. The supervisors of each village looked at them with satisfaction and nodded, and then said. "Okay, since no one wants to go back to dig coal, then I will tell you about the next task." The supervisors started the conversation first, attracting everyone's attention, and then said. "The road we are going to build is called a railway. First, we need to level the ground according to the drawn lines, then use a tamping car to make it firm, sprinkle some white lime on it, and use a roller to level it. This is the team that specializes in building the roadbed . Then there is the team that will lay the sleepers on it. When the time comes, there will be sawn wood delivered. Everyone will arrange the wood according to the master's instructions, and then lift the rails and put them on top. This is the team responsible for laying the rails. The last group is the team responsible for fixing the rails. They must nail the rails to the wood with nails according to the master's instructions, and finally lay broken stones in the middle of the wood. This way, the road is considered to be built. Let me tell you, this road is not easy to build, so you must study it seriously. The three kinds of work and three steps I just mentioned, you must all take turns in the village, that is to say, everyone must learn a full set of road building skills. When this road is built, if anyone hasn't learned it yet, don't blame me for not reminding you. At that time, you can only watch others settle down and go back to the mine to dig coal.
So I hope that you can be more serious when you work, watch carefully, learn well, and seize this opportunity to change your life.
Okay, today the project officially starts, you all line up and follow me, I will tell you what you should do. "
The words of the instructor made the slaves, who had just become excited, feel nervous. They knew that the Han tribe would not let them go in vain. It seemed that the road that the Han tribe wanted them to build seemed to be quite troublesome. If they didn't work hard, they might not be able to learn it!
If they really didn't learn it in the end, they would really have to do as the instructor said, while others would get land, houses, marry wives and have children, while they would have to go back to the mine to dig black stones.
Everyone held their breath and prepared to study hard while working this time.
At this moment, Luo Chong, who had arrived in Xingang County in advance, was standing at the new On the wall of Gang County, he held a telescope in his hand and looked at the group of prisoners of war from afar.
Giving them a chance to restore their civilian status and pass on their family line, they should work hard to learn technology, right? !
Luo Chong raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth. He believed that under hope and pressure, the Han tribe would soon have a group of skilled railway workers.
A total of 1,631 slaves were organized into 32 villages according to the organization of "Shiwutun", with five people in a group, ten people in a group, and fifty people in a village. The remaining 31 people were specially organized into the team of the youngest and the youngest. The elderly or the disabled are picked out. These people do not have to do the heavy work of paving the road, but they are responsible for the logistics of the whole team.
For example, they have to deliver water, food, tools and other miscellaneous work to the front-line workers.
The railway of the new Wei Line is two lines, one going back and forth, which together form a circle. In the first phase of the project, they will start from the north line, from the north end of Gongye County, to lay a one-way line to Yize County of Weishan County, through Qianzhou County, Qiming County, and finally to the Weishan County wharf.
Then the second phase is another loop, which is from Weishan County. The wharf, take the west road to Yuan County, through the wilderness of plains and hills, and finally return to the road of Xingang County.
In this way, by making a circle, the entire Weishan County can be connected by rail, and the journey will not be too far, but all these counties can benefit, so why not do it.
The workers of the thirty-two villages were all brought to the open space outside the locomotive factory.
Two dark I-shaped steel rails extended outward from the door of the factory. The steel rails were placed on a row of large woods and fixed with iron nails. Such a strange "road" immediately made the slaves look confused.
"Is this the road we want to build? If I'm not mistaken, that thing should be iron, right? So much iron, the Han tribe actually used so much iron to pave the road?!" The slaves were shocked and said in disbelief.
"Well, why do we care about that? As long as the Han tribe is willing to use iron to build roads, we will build them. But we should still listen to the instructions, learn well, and watch carefully. Don't come back without having learned anything, otherwise we will have to go back to mining coal. "The person next to him said indifferently.
What the Han tribe used to build the road, is it important to them? No, as long as they are still useful, it is enough. Why bother so much? Anyway, they are powerless to make any impact.
The craftsmen of each village received their tasks respectively. The open space in front of the factory building has been marked with branches on the side of the road to be built, and thin ropes and red cloth strips are hung on the branches. It looks very conspicuous. Such marks extend far to the east, which is the direction they came from.
A little closer, the branches, ropes and cloth strips have been pulled out and replaced with white lines drawn on the ground. They were all drawn by someone using a shovel to shovel white lime according to the previous marks. The area between the two white lines is the area where they are about to work.
After everyone understood, they began to assign tasks. Some people were leveling the ground with shovels and rakes, shoveling the high places and padding the potholes. Others were holding particularly wide wooden boards and raking them flat on the ground with ropes.
Next The tamping team will go forward to tamp the ground, and after tamping once, they will bring soil from somewhere else to fill it in, and then continue to tamp and level the ground. When the ground is tamped down, they will bring soil from somewhere else to fill it in, tamp it repeatedly, and finally use a stone roller to level it.
The roadbed is not considered up to standard until it is slightly higher than the ground by about half a meter. The area in the middle of the drawn white line needs to be leveled, and the areas on both sides of the roadbed need to be padded with soil to form a two-meter wide slope. Outside the slope, drainage ditches need to be dug, and the two sides of the ditch should be filled with water.
After the sleepers and rails are laid, gravel is laid, which is ballast . Then grass seeds are sprinkled on the diagonal paving on both sides, or some grass is directly transplanted to prevent soil erosion. The roadbed will not be washed away during heavy rain. The roadbed is slightly higher than the ground, which is essentially used to prevent the roadbed from being washed away by rain. The drainage ditches on both sides are also for this purpose.
After all, the roadbed is made of loess. It is afraid of water, not other things. The necessary preventive measures must be taken.
