Three days after arriving in Yuyang, all the materials and personnel for building the new salt field were in place.
Once the land is measured, the project will officially start.
Evan Zhao traveled back and forth between his home and the construction site every day. He got up before dawn and worked even after dark, so he had almost no time to rest. The craftsmen were divided into three shifts. In order to meet the deadline, they dug pits and piled mud bricks at night with torches.
Although the work is hard, the wages are quite high.
In addition to copper coins and fine cloth, Evan Zhao asked Princess Yuyang for instructions that all the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the salt field would be rewarded with an extra bucket of millet and two sheep ribs, and the reward for the chief craftsman would be doubled. If the project was completed ahead of schedule, refined salt would also be distributed.
