My subjects are too rebellious!

Chapter 459 Urging the Construction Period

In order to speed up the progress of the project, Li Qiliang and Heshen also formulated a strict work and rest system and implemented shift work.

During the day, under the scorching sun, the laborers sweated profusely, but no one backed down.

At night, the construction site is still busy with torches lit.

Li Qiliang personally supervised the work, ate and lived with the laborers, boosted morale, and ensured the quality and progress of the project.

However, the large-scale conscription of civilians also brought a lot of trouble.

Questions such as how to ensure the food safety of the laborers, how to prevent the spread of diseases, and how to maintain order on the construction site followed one after another.

Faced with these difficulties, Li Qiliang worked together with Heshen and took a series of effective measures.

They set up a special medical team to provide timely treatment for sick and injured civilians.

At the same time, we will strengthen construction site management, severely punish illegal acts such as theft and fighting, and ensure that the construction site is in good order.

Moreover, they also need to lay railway tracks while building the road.

In order to build railway tracks, the Ministry of Works still needs a large number of blacksmiths.

So, Li Qiliang and Heshen joined forces again to recruit highly skilled blacksmiths across the country.

Some of these blacksmiths came from bustling cities, while others lived in seclusion in the mountains. Under the organization of the Ministry of Industry, the blacksmiths were assigned to various iron smelting furnaces, smelting and forging day and night to transform pieces of iron ore into hard rail materials.

As the rail materials were prepared, the laying work was carried out in full swing.

They measured, dug holes and laid tracks precisely according to the instructions on the blueprints.

Craftsmen carefully adjust the position and height of each rail to ensure that they are tightly connected and run smoothly.

The laborers were responsible for carrying materials, cleaning the site and other auxiliary work. Their hard work provided a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of the entire project.

During the construction of the railway tracks, the Ministry of Construction encountered many technical difficulties, such as how to ensure the stability of the tracks, how to prevent the tracks from rusting and corroding, and how to design reasonable curves and ramps.

Faced with these difficulties, these craftsmen fully utilized the wisdom of the working people.

Finally, these problems were solved one by one.

.................

At this moment, Bai Qi was riding his tall warhorse, standing in front of a pyramid that was just taking shape.

Behind him was the neat and orderly formation of the Qin warriors, their iron armor shining coldly, and their momentum was so great that it seemed as if they could swallow up all obstacles.

"Kunlun slaves, speed up! Before sunset, I want to see this pyramid rise another ten feet!"

Not far away, hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves were working hard and sweating profusely.

They were dark-skinned, strong-built, with heavy stones on their shoulders.

It is not easy to make these Kunlun slaves, who are far away from their hometown and in a foreign land, work with peace of mind.

Therefore, he established a strict management system while also providing them with the most basic living security.

Although the daily meals were simple and plain, consisting of only rough tea and rice, for many Kunlun slaves who were struggling to survive, this was already a rare gift.

At least, here, they can fill their stomachs without having to worry about the next meal.

Although it is hard, my life is stable and there is hope for the future.

Therefore, not only did they have no complaints, but they worked even harder.

They carried the heavy stones one by one with their own hands, working very hard.

As the three pyramids stood tall, they became symbols of the Wu Dynasty's power and glory.

Whenever the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines on the three pyramids, and they seem to be given life and shine brightly.

In front of these three pyramids, there stands a lifelike portrait each, with different shapes, some majestic, some lively.

The life image in front of the first pyramid is a dragon, flying in the clouds and majestic, symbolizing the majesty and power of the Wu Dynasty.

The life statue in front of the second pyramid is a tiger. It is majestic and has sharp eyes, showing fearlessness and courage.

The portrait in front of the third pyramid is a rabbit, which is gentle and cute, yet smart and agile.

And there are still nine pyramids to be built to reach their goal...

.........

The herald ran quickly through the neatly arranged tents, holding tightly in his hand a well-sealed letter. It was an urgent letter that had just been sent from the capital at full speed. It was printed with the exclusive royal seal, making it look particularly solemn.

He came to General Bai Qi's tent, took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, then respectfully lifted the tent curtain and walked in.

Inside the tent, General Bai Qi was sitting at the desk, examining the map on the table, seemingly thinking about something.

"General, there is urgent military information!" The voice of the messenger sounded in the tent.

He walked quickly forward, raised the letter in his hand above his head, and presented it respectfully.

Bai Qi raised his head, his eyes moved away from the map and fell on the letter in the messenger's hand.

He nodded slightly, signaling the herald to hand over the letter.

After receiving the letter, Bai Qi did not open it immediately. Instead, he carefully looked at the seal and seal of the envelope. After confirming that it was correct, he slowly opened it, took out the letter, and read it carefully.

As the letter unfolded, Bai Qi's expression gradually became solemn.

The messenger stood quietly by the side, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing General Bai Qi's thoughts.

...

Qin Chuan wrote a letter personally to General Bai Qi's subordinates.

General Bai Qi's Message:

Recently, the Wu Dynasty has been busy with state affairs and the borders have been turbulent. I am very worried. I heard that the pyramid project supervised by the general is nearing completion. This feat not only demonstrates the great national strength of our Wu Dynasty, but also reflects our dynasty's respect and inheritance of culture. I am very pleased and write this letter to express my commendation.

However, the situation in the Golden Horde in the northern border has been complicated and changeable recently, with powerful enemies outside and tribal disputes inside. I know that the general is brave and good at fighting, and he is both wise and brave, so I decided to send the general to lead the troops north to meet with General Han Xin who has made great achievements in the Golden Horde. The two generals, one civil and one military, will surely be able to work together to quell the chaos in the border and consolidate the northern border defense line of our dynasty.

When the border situation stabilizes, I intend to send General Han Xin back to the court with a report of victory to commend his achievements. The general must stay in the Golden Horde and guard this place forever for generations to prevent foreign invasions from recurring and ensure the long-term peace of our border. Although this is a heavy responsibility, it also reflects my high trust and expectations for the general.

I hope that after receiving this letter, the general will quickly complete the finishing work of the pyramid construction and start preparing for the march. The climate in the northern border is extremely cold and the war is difficult. The general must take care of his health, make good plans, and return with a complete victory.

I am waiting for good news here, hoping that the general will return victoriously soon. The rise and fall of the Wu Dynasty depends on the general. I hope the general will live up to my expectations and the trust of the people.

Written by Qin Chuan.

.....

Qin Chuan’s idea is very simple. He believes in Han Xin, but he believes in Bai Qi even more.

If he were asked to choose someone who would never rebel, he would definitely choose Bai Qi instead of Han Xin.

Once all the pyramids are built, Bai Qi will be in charge of the entire territory of the Golden Horde and, by the way, take control of the whole of Europe.

After all, it has been taken down.

Han Xin could allow him to stay west of the Mughal Empire and take charge of all of Africa.

Even if he really has second thoughts in the future... then, even if both sides surround him, he won't be able to make any waves.
