    It is not difficult to save people's manpower, but the problem is to complete the project on time.

    Huang Mingyuan himself did not study civil engineering, and he does not know how to build buildings. In terms of professional level, he is not even as good as Yu Wenkai, a native who has been engaged in construction for a long time.  But Huang Mingyuan knows that if you want to improve work efficiency, without changing the original framework structure, the most important things are two things. One is to improve the level of production tools to make them more in line with the development of productivity; the other is to optimize personnel  Configuration and scientific management.

    Improving production tools cannot be achieved overnight. As a non-professional, Huang Mingyuan is at best familiar with traditional construction tools, many of which cannot be named. If he wants to improve them in a short time, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.  But he couldn't bear the crazy construction of commercial housing all over the country in later generations. Buildings were built everywhere, so he also knew what modern architecture needed most.

    For modern architecture, the most iconic construction tool is probably the tower crane that is essential for every construction site.

    There are many types of tower cranes in later generations, but in terms of the source of their development, they are all the product of leverage.  By adjusting the amount of balance weight and the length of the balance arm, manpower and material resources can be saved to a great extent.

    There was no concrete at this time, so many buildings were constructed with huge stones, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

    For laborers, bricklaying, carpentry, metalworking and other jobs are top-notch jobs and are technical jobs. The casualty rate is very low, and the pay is not too bad.  The one with the highest casualty rate is masonry, while the hardest-working workers are transportation and handling workers. Both are purely manual labor, consume a lot of money, and because there is no protection, there are many casualties. They are the biggest consumables on the construction site.

    ¡° Solving transportation and handling difficulties is the best way to liberate manpower.

    Huang Mingyuan could not build the huge tower crane of later generations, but he could simulate its initial behavior.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered people to cut down a large number of trees and make hundreds of huge levers, which were then connected through pulleys and other tools to serve as the most primitive tower crane.  Each lever is operated by dozens of people and can easily lift a boulder weighing thousands of kilograms to a height of several feet. It is simple, light and easy to operate.

    Huang Mingyuan also made a large number of roller skating components as tools to lay transportation tracks, which greatly improved the progress of the project.

    At this time, Yu Wenkai found Huang Mingyuan again and reported that the entire construction site had insufficient materials, especially insufficient soil materials.

    This matter is also understandable. The newly built Luoyang City was located eighteen miles west of Luoyang City in the Han and Wei dynasties. It was far away from the main urban area and road transportation was inconvenient.  Moreover, many materials including soil, wood, and stone had to be transported from Guozhou, Weizhou and other places, which was extremely inconvenient.

    ¡° In many cases, the transportation cost these days is much more expensive than the cost of raw materials. Half of the huge manpower and material resources spent in building the Eastern Capital were wasted on the transportation of these materials.

    When the city of Daxing was being built, the giant trees from Bashu were transported from the Hanzhong area and had to be carried over mountains and ridges. Many people died on the steep Shu road alone.  It can be said that every pillar in Chang'an is stained with the blood of transporters.

    As for Luoyang, transportation is much greater than that of Chang'an.

    Huang Mingyuan also has a way. When it comes to transportation, it is like water transportation.  Huang Mingyuan ordered people to cut down large trees from Bashu and other places along the river, and directly make bamboo rafts, which were transported down the river, and then transported to Luoyang along the Yangtze River, Hangou, Huaihe, Bianqu, and Yellow Rivers.

    Although the distance is long, this kind of transportation saves time and effort, and the cost of wood transportation is reduced by more than 90%.

    As for the lack of land, Huang Mingyuan ordered everyone to collect soil and bake bricks and stones on the spot where the new city was to be built.

    The soil and stone are burned on the construction site, which directly saves transportation costs.  The new city's masonry consumption was huge, and within a few days the entire construction site was dug into a large ditch.

    These large ditches were designed by Huang Mingyuan. He ordered people to connect these large ditches to each other, and then dig the nearby Luoshui River into the canals to form a new water network with Luoshui River as the main canal and various ditches as branch canals.  Materials transported by water from various places were transported to various construction sites in the new city through Luoshui and the main canal.

    Huang Mingyuan also ordered people to pile all the abandoned rubble on one side of the canal. Waiting for the completion of this project, the drainage would be stopped, and then the rubble would be backfilled into the ditch, turning the original canal into flat ground again.

    It is so general, which greatly saves manpower and material resources, so that people who have done it half the time will have twice the result.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s clever design saved the court hundreds of millions in expenses.  As for the number of slaves who survived because of this, I don't know how many.

    Many people know that Duke Lu¡¯s compassion saved their lives, so many people enshrine Huang Mingyuan¡¯s longevity tablets at home.  Huang Mingyuan's reputation was originally limited to the north of the river, but this time it also spread throughout Henan, Henan, and other places.North and other places.

    In order to better manage the laborers, Huang Mingyuan ordered millions of laborers to be organized into hundreds of engineering battalions in units of 10,000 people. Each battalion was composed of officers and military doctors drawn from various ministries in accordance with the engineering battalion system formulated by Huang Mingyuan.  Carry out unified management to ensure the basic living conditions and housing conditions of the slave laborers, and reduce the daily workload of the slave laborers.

    Each engineering battalion is divided into a thousand-man team, a hundred-man team, and a ten-man team. Each has a thousand-man foreman, a hundred-man-foreman, and a ten-man foreman for management. Material rewards are used to supervise competition between each battalion and each foreman.  Improve work efficiency.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s design immediately made the originally chaotic Dongdu construction site orderly and efficient, and the death rate of laborers at the Dongdu construction site was also reduced to a minimum.  In fact, during the entire construction period of Dongdu, there was never a large-scale epidemic or large-scale casualty accident among the millions of laborers on the Dongdu construction site.

    Considering that "the king of hell is easy to live with, but the devil is difficult to deal with", Huang Mingyuan set up a supervision camp to supervise the daily work of the supervisors and ensure that there would be no harsh and cruel subordinates in the camp who would treat the slaves harshly.

    After Huang Mingyuan determined the system of the entire project, everything at the Dongdu construction site began to become more orderly. Almost at the beginning of April, Huang Mingyuan handed over all the construction work of Dongdu to Yu Wenkai.

    Although Yu Wenkai flatters his superiors and bullies his subordinates, he is really good at engineering construction.  This time Huang Mingyuan beat him hard, which also alerted him.

    Yu Wenkai¡¯s elder brother Yu Wenxin, the Duke of Qi State of Shangzhu State, conspired with Liang Shiyan, Liu Fang and others to rebel in the sixth year of Emperor Kaihuang¡¯s reign, but was killed after the incident was revealed.  Although Yu Wenkai was not implicated, he was very cautious and could only use strange tricks and tricks that were criticized by people at the time to please the emperor. He himself was also weak in character. As for Huang Mingyuan, he would never dare to offend him, so he had to follow Xiao Gui.

    Huang Mingyuan had no choice but to keep an eye on the Dongdu construction site all the time.

    However, this time Huang Mingyuan did not completely trust Yu Wenkai. He expressed his gratitude to Feng Ciming, the former minister of Sanqi, to supervise the progress of the entire Dongdu construction project. He also expressed his cousin Cui Renshu as the supervisory censor and Feng Ciming Zuo Er, responsible for supervising Yu Wenkai.  What Kai did was to save Yu Wenkai, a flattering man who wanted to be lucky but not considerate of the people's power.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
