Ang Lee was telling the truth. Yan Ruyu was not only gentle and virtuous, but also did not have a gossipy heart like ordinary women. She was not interested in many boring news. Even if it was the major news that the whole Chang 'an City was talking about, she did not seem to care. After all, these things had nothing to do with her, and it was useless to care about them.
Most of her energy was focused on taking care of her family, or paying attention to the family business. Even if they talked about boring news, it was mostly about her own family's business. She didn't care about news that didn't have much to do with her family, or she wasn't interested at all.
"Yes, yes, yes. Anything about the royal family is a big deal. But the Princess is not injured! Although the evil servant is domineering, it is too cruel to beat him to death for such a trivial matter. "
Yan Ruyu still had a trace of sympathy for the evil servant who was beaten to death. She felt that the punishment was a little too heavy. After all, it was a human life.
Ang Lee smiled gently, put down the Tang Dynasty newspaper in his hand, and said, "There are thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty. One more or one less has no impact on the Tang Dynasty, but the dignity of the royal family must be maintained. If the dignity of the royal family is damaged because of a servant's life, the loss will be too great. Once the royal family loses its dignity, the foundation of the Tang Empire may be unstable, and the world will be in chaos. A large number of people will be displaced and thousands of people will die miserably. In this case, the death of an evil servant is not a big deal.
"Wow! There are actually such serious consequences if the evil servant is not killed. It is really unexpected! "
Yan Ruyu said in disbelief.
Ang Lee's words were a little exaggerated. However, in the Tang Dynasty era, the imperial power was very important. Only when the imperial power had prestige could the people in the world be convinced and the country be stable. In addition to the policies that benefited the people, the imperial power was also reflected in the inviolability of the royal family. If the royal family could be offended at will, the dignity of the royal family would also be affected. At that time, anyone could offend the royal family, and how could the royal family rule the people in the world?
Although Ang Lee was not a person of this era, he had no sympathy for the domineering evil servants. Such people, one more or one less, had no impact on the Tang Empire. What Ang Lee wanted was the prosperity and power of the Tang Empire. He did not care about the life and death of these evil servants, and even had no sympathy for them.
Perhaps Ang Lee was born to be so hard-hearted. In short, Ang Lee very much agreed with the emperor's practice. For the evil servants who maliciously offended the royal family, one should be killed as an example to others. Only in this way could some people be somewhat restrained.
However, Ang Lee always felt that the Tang Dynasty newspaper continued to report about the evil servants of the Yang family, which seemed to be a little abnormal. It seemed that someone was deliberately manipulating it behind the scenes. As for who was manipulating all this behind the scenes, Ang Lee could not say. He just had such a feeling. After all, many details in the story were just right, and it seemed too real. The more real something was, the more problematic it was.
"Alang, Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is here."
The housekeeper ran over.
"Alas, I guess the underground parking lot is in trouble again. This Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon likes to trouble me."
Ang Lee said with a wry smile. Then, he got up and left the backyard. Naturally, he could not receive guests in the backyard. It was more appropriate to go to the front yard.
"Assistant Minister Li, I'm really sorry to bother you again."
Li Yu said with a smile.
He was getting more and more thick-skinned. As long as he encountered a small matter, he liked to come and trouble Ang Lee, as if Ang Lee was his servant who specialized in solving problems for him alone.
"It's about the underground parking lot! What's wrong? Did you encounter a difficult problem again? "
Ang Lee asked.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes. Digging a hole underground seems to be very simple. But when you really start to work, you will find a lot of problems. Basically, I encounter problems every day. It's so annoying."
It could be seen that Li Yu had been tormented a lot. He had also put in a lot of effort. His face was thinner. As an imperial grandson, this was very commendable.
"This is normal. If everything goes smoothly and we don't encounter any problems, that would be abnormal. If you encounter problems, you just have to find a way to solve them. "
Ang Lee said calmly.
"Assistant Minister Li, please take a look. These are the problems encountered last night. This morning, the subordinates came to report."
Li Yu recorded the problems in his hand and handed them to Ang Lee.
Because of the urgency of the construction, the craftsmen and the others worked all day. However, they had to work in different shifts. Because the people of this era were more able to endure hardships, two shifts were enough. Their bodies could withstand it. It was not a problem for them to work a little longer.
"The ground is seeping water. How deep have we dug? It's already seeping water. Oh my god! "
When Li An saw the first question, he felt a little troubled and casually asked.
"It's not just seeping water. The craftsmen told me that if it rains, the ground will be filled with rainwater."
Li Yu said.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "It's possible. However, I have drainage facilities in my design. It's just that the craftsmen didn't understand it. When it's necessary, I will personally guide them."
"Aiyo, these craftsmen are really capable! They actually dug through the sewers and all the sewage flowed down. Hahaha! "
Seeing this problem, Ang Lee couldn't help but laugh. It was enough to see that the craftsmen's skills weren't that reliable. They actually dug through the sewers. They didn't calculate the direction and depth well. There was no one else who could make such a low-level mistake.
"Yes! These annoying problems can be encountered every day. In order not to affect the normal traffic of the people on the road, large machinery can't be used. They can only use labor and some special small machines. The efficiency can't be improved at all. Hundreds of people have been digging for so many days, but they haven't dug out much soil and stone. The progress is quite slow! At this speed, it's impossible to finish in three months. Moreover, the New Year will be in a month. It will definitely take a lot of time. It's estimated that it will take another two or three months to finish in the next year. This is under the condition that everything goes well. If it doesn't, the delay will be even greater. "
Li Yu complained.
Since he had accepted this task, Li Yu naturally hoped that the underground garage could be completed as soon as possible. In this way, he could show his face in front of the civil and military officials of the Tang dynasty and show his ability and talent. At the same time, if it was completed as soon as possible, he could have time to rest as soon as possible. He didn't have to be busy outside every day.
As for the construction problems that Li Yu encountered, in fact, they were very normal. Construction projects all over the country would encounter many similar problems. There was nothing to make a fuss about. Most of these problems were caused by too many novices among the craftsmen recruited. If all of them were experienced craftsmen, they wouldn't have made such low-level mistakes.
As for the seepage of the deep pit after the excavation, it was a temporary phenomenon and would not last forever. After all, the terrain of Ping Kang Fang was relatively high, and the water level of the underground water was relatively low. If they didn't dig more than ten meters deep, there would be no well water. The temporary seepage was due to the continuous autumn rain, and the soil water on the surface had not completely dropped. As long as the seepage was extracted, there would be no big problem.
In addition, the drainage system could also solve this problem. However, at this time, the underground garage had only been dug a little, and there was no way to build a drainage system. It needed to be dug to a certain size before it could be built.
Ang Lee also had an idea. That was, once the underground garage was approved, it could be promoted on many roads in Chang 'an City. In this way, when there was a large space underground, the surface drainage ditch could be eliminated. The drainage ditch could be built directly underground. In this way, the ground would become cleaner and tidier than before. When walking on the street, the smell of the drainage ditch could no longer be smelled. This was very important for improving the urban quality of Chang' an City.
In short, although they would encounter a lot of unimaginable problems when building the underground parking garage for the first time, as long as the first problem was overcome and the underground parking garage was finally completed to meet the parking needs of ordinary people, then they would have enough experience when building the underground parking garage again. When they encountered problems again, it would be easy to solve them when they encountered problems again.
In other words, everything was difficult at the beginning. As long as the beginning was done well, then the following things would be easy. As long as the pressure at the beginning was withstood, there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.
"These are all small problems that are not difficult to solve. Don't worry, Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon."
Ang Lee put down the paper that Li Yu handed to him very easily. These problems were really much easier than when he was building the bridge. Although there were some difficulties, Ang Lee believed that it would not be difficult to solve.
"With Assistant Minister Li's words, I am relieved. By the way, the number of craftsmen now is not enough. Should we increase the number of craftsmen so that we can complete the project faster?"
Li Yu asked.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "It is naturally good to increase the number of craftsmen, but you must recruit experienced craftsmen. Many of the problems you mentioned are not caused by the land, nor are they problems with the design. It is because the craftsmen are inexperienced, so these problems that should not have happened. As long as they are experienced craftsmen, especially those who are experienced in building bridges and buildings, they will generally not make these low-level mistakes."
Skilled craftsmen could naturally work better and faster, but unskilled craftsmen often delayed a lot of things. Not only was it difficult to do things well, but it was also more likely to make mistakes. For example, digging a drainage ditch was caused by a calculation error.
"These craftsmen were all arranged by the people from the Ministry of Works. These guys said nice things, but they arranged so many new craftsmen for me. It really pisses me off. I must have a good chat with them tomorrow."
Li Yu said angrily.
He was only an imperial grandson and did not come into contact with many people. Naturally, he did not know low-level people like craftsmen. None of his trusted subordinates were acquainted with craftsmen. Therefore, when he suddenly needed craftsmen, he could only rely on the officials of the Ministry of Works to transfer and recruit craftsmen from the vicinity of the capital.
However, these officials of the Ministry of Works would not have too much contact with low-level craftsmen. Usually, they would recruit as many craftsmen as the higher-ups required to complete the task. In this way, the task would be considered completed. As for whether the people recruited were skilled craftsmen or how capable they were, it was not something he considered.
Therefore, it was natural to recruit a large number of new craftsmen. The officials of the Ministry of Works could not be blamed.
"I know a few skilled craftsmen teams. Unfortunately, because the bridge across the Yangtze River is going to be built recently, these teams have all gone there. Therefore, I can't help much now. We can only rely on Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon to find more skilled craftsmen. As long as we work hard, we will always be able to recruit qualified and skilled craftsmen."
Ang Lee really knew a lot of skilled craftsmen teams. After all, many construction teams were personally led by Ang Lee. When designing and building railroad tracks and bridges, Ang Lee had trained countless skilled craftsmen. However, because the Tang Empire was under construction everywhere in recent years, these skilled craftsmen teams naturally did not have a moment to rest. Before the previous major project was completed, the next construction project was already waiting there. He was afraid that even if they worked day and night, it would be difficult to complete all these projects. After all, the Tang Empire was vast. In order to communicate with the regions, a large number of railways, bridges, and roads needed to be built. All these needed craftsmen. Even if the number of craftsmen increased many times and the number of machines increased, it was still far from enough.
"I don't care anymore. Tomorrow, I will go to a few guys in the Ministry of Works and ask them to find a way to find skilled craftsmen. I will personally assess them. If they are not skilled craftsmen, I will reject them."
Li Yu was determined to do a good job in the underground parking garage. If he could not even do this job well, how could he establish himself in the imperial court in the future and how could he improve his reputation?
Since Li Yu had already given the order and was determined to do this, Ang Lee could not express his opinion. Ang Lee was very clear about these officials of the Ministry of Works who were just waiting to die. If he did not give them some pressure, they would not do a good job. Therefore, it was good for Li Yu to talk to them about life. This way, they would be able to put in more effort when recruiting craftsmen and recruit more skilled craftsmen. This would reduce the number of man-made mistakes and accidents in the underground parking garage construction in the future.
