Chapter 1133: Workshop on Fire

Zhang Yu has been busy in the capital for a while.

Afterwards, he decided to continue his private visits on Weibo, this time he was going out of the capital.

A few days later, Zhang Yu was finally able to make the trip.

Dressed up as a caravan, with more than 20 people, of course there are some people secretly protecting.

Zhang Yu and the others left the capital and headed south along Chidao.

"It would be great if this road could collect money. Like the highways of later generations, only by collecting money can it be built quickly." Zhang Yu said as he walked on the road.

This road has just been built not long ago, but there have been some damages.

It wasn't that the quality was bad at the beginning, but that there were too many vehicles passing by.

It is crushed every day, and it is still a heavy object, so it cannot be damaged without damage.

"It seems that there must be a fee. This road has only been established for a long time, and it needs to be maintained frequently."

Potholes have appeared in some places, and it will not work without maintenance.

Zhang Yu knew that it was necessary to establish a professional maintenance team to carry out daily maintenance on Chidao.

This is not a small expense, but it must be done, otherwise it will be even more troublesome to overhaul Chidao in the future.

"Write a letter to ask the cabinet to study it, and let people charge on the road. According to the money of vehicles, pedestrians will not be charged."

"However, the road needs to be regulated. Pedestrians and carriages come and go, which makes the speed a bit slow."

Zhang Yu wanted to divide Chidao.

One side goes up and the other side goes down. This is the case in future generations, but not in this era.

The two sides are separated again, and the driveway is separated from the sidewalk, so that the two sides do not interfere with each other and can go a lot faster.

Because, Zhang Yu saw that some people did not follow the direction, and when two caravans met, they had to give way to each other, and the speed was much slower.

This is not a big problem. In addition to the road repair team, the "traffic police" must also be established.

The role of the "traffic police" is still very important. They can also check the caravans along the road to see if they have done anything illegal.

The empire must be governed,

Only by being able to manage places below the county level can the stubbornness of the ancient system be broken.

Zhang Yu wrote a letter back, affixed his own seal, and sent it to the capital quickly, and the cabinet would naturally handle it.

Along the way, Zhang Yu could still see many military camps.

Today's barracks are not in the city or around the city, but around Chidao.

The cities in the east don't need to be defended at all unless there is a war, as long as a small number of troops defend the city gates.

Now the task of patrolling the streets has also been handed over to the police force, so the army stays away from the city and focuses on the Chidao.

You can train day and night here, and you can quickly increase your combat power without disturbing the people.

Walking along Chidao, Zhang Yu and the others arrived in Qingzhou a few days later.

Qingzhou has been stable for several years and has developed rapidly.

After Zhang Yu arrived in Qingzhou, he was not in a hurry to enter the city.

The vast countryside is the foundation of the empire. Farmers produce food and then pay taxes.

This part is the most stable, more stable than business tax.

Although the commercial tax has been increasing nowadays, Zhang Yu still attaches great importance to the agricultural tax.

No agriculture is unstable, which was necessary in ancient times.

Zhang Yu went to several farms to find out, but did not find any problems.

The common people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no mermaids.

Although this Qingzhou is not at the feet of the emperor, the people are not stupid now, and they can go to the capital to file a complaint along Chidao.

Some retired soldiers are also scattered around, they are Zhang Yu's most loyal supporters.

Zhang Yu inspected many farms in a row, and there were many minor problems, but no major problems.

For small problems, Zhang Yu recorded them and handed them over to the government to deal with.

Zhang Yu slowly approached Linzi.

For this city, Zhang Yu still needs to investigate.

One night, Zhang Yu and the others arrived outside Linzi city.

When they got outside the city, they naturally couldn't enter the city, so they could only rest on the side of the road for one night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yu and the others continued on their way.

"Your Majesty, there is a big fire ahead, and several houses are on fire." Zhang Yu was resting in the carriage at this time, and a soldier reported.

Zhang Yu lifted the curtain of the car, and indeed saw several houses on fire several hundred meters away.

"Hurry up and save people."

There were people inside the fire scene, Zhang Yu didn't hesitate, got off the carriage and rushed up first.

When the soldiers saw Zhang Yu rushing out, they couldn't stop them, so they rushed out.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly."

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

Many people are already fighting the fire, but the fire is very large.

"Is there anyone inside?" Zhang Yu rushed forward and asked first.

"There are people, there are people inside, save them quickly."

Zhang Yu saw that there was a house on fire that was not too big, so he rushed in.

His guards also rushed in.

Just kidding, Zhang Yu rushed in, how dare they not go in, and they are loyal, it's just a fire scene, they must go.

Zhang Yu rushed in, there was indeed someone inside, and he fainted from the smoke.

"Save people."

Zhang Yu went up first and recited a person.

There were three people inside, and several other guards got out.

The fire was huge. Fortunately, it was the first floor, and most people could rush out.

Other houses had been engulfed in the fire and could not be rescued.

Three people were rescued, and Zhang Yu's guards were slightly injured.

Zhang Yu helped the villagers put out the fire.

After extinguishing, a total of four people were burned to death.

At this time, the people from the government had already arrived, and there were a few arrests.

"Go and ask, what is the specific situation."

Zhang Yu didn't show up, but let his guards go.

His guard had a token, and the other party dared not answer.

A guard took a token to ask.

"Report to Shangguan, this is a workshop. Because there have been a lot of orders recently, the owner of the workshop has asked them to work overtime day and night. The few people inside may be too tired, and they didn't even know it was on fire, so they couldn't run out in time."

After the guards came back to report, Zhang Yu understood that he was too tired from working overtime day and night, and that's why something went wrong.

I don't know if there is a fire, and after being fainted, I can't get out even if I want to.

Zhang Yu sighed and said, "Safety is a big issue."

Fortunately, it is outside the city, the land outside the city is cheap, and it is normal for them to build a workshop here.

"Let's find a place to live nearby, and you tell those police officers to come and see me after their business is over." Zhang Yu said to several guards.

Zhang Yu entered the scene of the fire, his face darkened, and he left under the thanks of several villagers.

After dealing with the matter for a long time, several officials came over.

"My lord, we still have to go back and report to the superior, and we have no right to report to you privately. Why don't you go and find the sheriff." The policeman said.

The catcher who spoke was their leader. Although Zhang Yu and the others had a token, he did not dare to report to Zhang Yu indiscriminately.

Today, Zhang Yu has undergone reforms, and the functions and powers of various departments are different. Zhang Yu does not allow anyone to interfere with others casually.

For example, if someone from the Ministry of Communications or the Ministry of Agriculture calls the police casually, this is absolutely not allowed. Anything can be coordinated through the Ministry of Public Security, and power cannot be exercised in private.
