Zhao Guang didn't pay attention to his brother's cannibalistic eyes. He just looked straight at the construction site in front of him and said, "It's really amazing!"

Damn it!

A bunch of rubes.

As the elder brother of the indigenous turtles, a certain authentic big turtle straightened the helmet on his head and was very satisfied with their reactions.

So shocked!

If I wasn’t shocked, how could I have the nerve to speak to Old Demon Zhuge? How could I have the nerve to write a project budget?

Thinking of this, Feng Tubiao finally felt proud and proud. Damn it, I've been neglecting my job for so long, and finally I'm doing something that is slightly relevant to my profession.

Calculate the civil engineering budget however you want!

How to make money!

For an ordinary cement column less than ten meters long, if you don’t quote a cost of RMB 108,000, is that still called a budget?

Of course, there are no cement pillars in Feng Tibi's project this time, only cement slag.

And he never thought that he could get money from the hands of the Han Dynasty Prime Minister. If you want money, you have to allocate some food, right?

This year there will be a bumper grain harvest in Shuzhong, do you think I don’t know?

Especially manpower, why don’t you give some?

Not much, five hundred is enough.

It just matched the number of barbarian prisoners of war that were snatched from him last year, and that's without counting the interest.

It can be seen from this that a certain country turtle is actually very cautious.

Even though it had been so long, and even though he had obtained a lot of manpower through various means, he still remembered that he had been robbed of five hundred manpower by Old Demon Zhuge.

"No wonder my brother often complains that the road is not easy to walk. It turns out that in my brother's eyes, this kind of road is a good road. Isn't it comparable to Jincheng Street?"

Li Qiu stamped the dirt road under his feet and sighed, "Brother said that he wanted to build a road that day. Is this the kind of road he wants to build?"

"Jincheng Street may not be this smooth. Brother, do you want to pave all the roads in our workshop like this?"

Although the road is not dry yet, you can already imagine how smooth it will be when you can walk on it.

"what is this?"

Feng Yonghun replied nonchalantly, "This is just the beginning. If it really works, all the official roads from Nanxiang to Nanzheng will be paved like this."

This time paving is only a temporary trial within the scope of the textile workshop, because Feng Yong needs to calculate the amount of earthwork and manpower before injecting water into the project budget.

"How much food will it cost?"

As expected, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"It's worth the money spent on food."

Feng Yong glanced at everyone. In fact, he knew in his heart that it didn't cost much at all.

Labor is free, cement is produced by oneself, and at most it only produces some food.

But on what day do the thousands of people like me not need to eat food? What are they doing that don’t need to eat food? If they don’t do this work, don’t they need to eat food?

In later generations, everyone complained that the foreman contractors were poor, disappeared at the end of the year, and owed migrant workers their wages every year, but who among the people in the country did not know that being a foreman was a very wealthy profession?

"No one knows how cement is used. Let's try it for the court. Shouldn't the Prime Minister support it?"

Feng Tubou said boldly, "How much food will be spent is what the prime minister has to worry about."

Anyway, Feng Tubao had made up his mind. If the old demon Zhuge didn't give him food or manpower, that would be fine.

The most you can do is to cultivate slowly by yourself, little by little, and one day you will be able to cultivate well.

But if Old Demon Zhuge is willing to be more generous, naturally it will be hello to you, me, and everyone.

I'll help you test it, and I'll make sure the data and stuff are all right for you.

Besides, with experience, whether it is used after pacifying Nanzhong, or renovating the plank road from Jincheng to Hanzhong, etc., it will not lead to blindness, right?

Although Feng Yong has thousands of people under his command, some are allocated to the pastures, some to the textile workshops, and there are also lime yards, gypsum yards, and coal yards. Which one does not require manpower?

As soon as the hands were spread out, people became extremely nervous.

Lime yards, gypsum yards, and coal yards have been in a state of near-death due to manpower problems.

In order to let the captured Hu people return home as soon as possible, Feng Yong even had to ignore his conscience that was about to disappear and let the leaders, elders, etc. of the Hu people hide and seek and disappear from time to time.

There is no other way. When these people came to Feng Yong, they lost their freedom and power. In general, their quality of life declined, so they are a factor of instability.

It is necessary to eliminate factors of instability.

As for those poor sheep slaves and herdsmen, they had no freedom. In the past, they always had enough to eat and clothing. Now that they have arrived at Feng Yong, although they have to work hard every day, they can at least have enough to eat and clothing, and their quality of life has improved. Therefore,

It's still relatively easy to get them to focus.

In order to allow the captives to work with peace of mind, Feng Yong, in addition to pulling out a few role models from time to time, even promised them that as long as they worked hard for five years, they would be freed unconditionally.

Huairou is still effective.

At least some of the first batch of Hu people who took the initiative to join us have begun to apply for household registration. This phenomenon shows that they are working hard to integrate into the Han group.

As for the so-called freedom of those prisoners of war after five years, it is just to sound good. Because they actually have no other choice but to stay.

After leaving the place where they had worked for five years and gaining freedom, could they return to Hu Di?

There are no cattle or sheep in Huihu. What else can the leader do except continue to work as a sheep slave and starve and freeze?

Feng Yong didn't believe that after five years of having no worries about food and clothing, they would go back and live that kind of life again.

If someone really wants to go back life or death, then he is a person, and Feng Tubiao has no choice but to let him imitate his leader and hide the cat.

This kind of Hu who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, as long as he has a little luck, will most likely be a hero. If he is not allowed to hide and seek, is it possible to wait for him to become a climate, so that he can add strength to the future chaos of the Central Plains?

So five years later, Feng Tubiao felt that he could talk to those Hu people who were working peacefully and let them join the big family as hired workers.

After all, skilled workers are hard to find, so it won’t be a big problem to pay them some wages when the time comes.

With those Hu people who had already registered as household registration and lived a good life as examples, Feng Yong believed that they would not refuse.

If we don't do this, let them see hope and reduce their resistance, more people will be sent to every place to watch. Where can Feng Yong get so many people?

Wang Ping was promoted to an official, and he recruited a group of people from his fellow villagers to serve as his personal guards. Because there were too many people, he sent another batch to Wang Xun, so that Wang Xun at least looked like a second-generation official.

Zhao Guang also asked Jincheng's father for help. Anyway, there were many generals following his father, so he had a lot of old soldiers on hand.

There were also Li Qiu and Li Yi, who tried their best to pull over the wounded and remnant soldiers who had retreated from the Nanzhong battlefield.

But this is far from enough.

Now in the general's house in Jincheng, everyone knows that Hanzhong Feng Tubou welcomes veterans who have been on the battlefield the most.

Food and accommodation are provided, money and food are provided, and there are even all kinds of girls for you to choose from.

Especially the latter rumor, in the Jincheng rumor that Feng Langjun changed from a clever talker to a lustful talker, it became even more ridiculous.

In the end, it was rumored that Feng Langjun had specially built a big house, and it was full of young and beautiful girls. He just waited for them to go over and let them choose one and throw it on the couch to have a good time.

What good things can a veteran thief have to say?

Of course, the more vulgar and dirty it is, the more it will suit their taste.

Therefore, although Feng Tuluo did not have a good reputation among the princes and princes of various families in Jincheng, he received an astonishing five-star praise among those military generals who did not know two or three Chinese characters.

There is no way, they are all old people who have fought with them on the battlefield, and even quite a few generals have been saved by their subordinates, so when people are old, you can't just kick them away.

If you really want to do this, who would dare to mess with you?

But the nobles of the Han Dynasty are poor! It is okay to say that there are few disabled old guards, but after so many years of fighting, there are hundreds of families with few troops, and hundreds of families with many families are normal.

If there are more parts, there will naturally be more veterans, which is a huge burden.

Well now, here comes a melon boy, and he actually offered such a good deal. Not to mention the old soldiers, those who were lucky enough to survive on the battlefield and received some money and food to retire from the army.

Very excited.

After carrying a knife all your life, you go back to the countryside and dig the ground with a hoe. How many habits do you have?

Although I am returning to my old job, at least I can have good food, clothing, and housing, and even have a little girl to wait on me. What kind of hoe do I need in such a good life?

Therefore, this rumor in Jincheng has unintentionally helped Feng Tibi.

Many old soldiers in Jincheng are wondering in their hearts whether they should seek help from their former generals and see if they can join Feng Langjun's sect, so that they can enjoy themselves before they die?

But even if old soldiers came one after another from the south, it was still barely enough, and this was only when the barbarians were obedient.

The textile workshop is a top priority and needs to be watched carefully, but which one of the lime yard, gypsum yard, and coal yard does not require garrisoned personnel to watch?

It was precisely because old soldiers kept coming over that Feng Tubao finally felt confident.

And based on the current speed at which this old pawn is coming, I'm afraid that in a while, I won't have to worry about not having enough manpower to keep an eye on the barbarians?

If that's the case, why should I not get some Hu Renliao people from Old Monster Zhuge? Who told him to snatch my five hundred prisoners of war in the first place?

Speaking of money and food, Feng Yong remembered something again, so he looked at Zhao Guang and said, "Erlang, you go to Nanzheng tomorrow to ask the Ma governor when he took so much cheese from the pasture.

Pay the bill to us?"
