Two months later, Fang Lei led the valley people to not only open the road from Xianyao Valley to Daoxiang Valley, but also open the road from Daoxiang Valley to Taohua Town.

The road from the Immortal Medicine Valley to the Daoxiang Valley is paved with gravel slag left over from the mining of fluorescent wallstones, and after being crushed by a horse-drawn cart with large stones, it is flat and hard, and you can walk like a fly.

The road from Daoxiang Valley to Taohua Town, like the road in Yaoshan Valley, was paved with sand and stones, and the carriage was also running forward at a gallop when transporting bricks and tiles.

It is also a natural condition superior, the mountain behind the Daoxiang Valley is not a pine tree, but a cedar tree with leaves that grow like a small flying knife, there are large and small, the big one can be made of roof beams and trusses, and the small one can be sawn to make latticework, so that the roofing material for building a tile house is also available.

At that time, when people in the countryside built a house, it was very simple to say, the foundation was made of stones, and then the bricks made of mud were thoroughly covered, and the trusses and lattices were fixed with bamboo nails, and the tiled surface was covered, and it became a new tiled house.

This bamboo nail is also very particular, with the hardest caryophyllus cut into a sharp nail, and then mixed with mud and sand in an iron pot with fire to fry, after drying, it can penetrate the fir lattice and truss, fixed on the roof, with iron nails easy to rust, more than 20 years to renovate, with bamboo nails, how long can the truss lattice last, it can also be used for a long time, some even forty or fifty years to renovate once.

Fang Lei knew that the collective economic strength of the Immortal Medicine Valley was strong, so he decided not to use mud bricks when penetrating the walls, but to use green bricks that had been calcined by the fire, and to build a house with green bricks and green tiles, which was the highest level of residence.

When building houses, the valley people also divide labor and cooperate, some in the back mountain to harvest cedar wood, spare stringers and lattices, some at the foot of the back mountain to mine stones, this is a huge project, the quarried stones, not only as the east and west valley to build the foundation of the house, but also to build a dam, build two small stone bridges from the east valley to the west valley.

When the time comes, the valley people who moved from the West Valley will be arranged to live in the West Valley, and the Gu people who will move from the East Valley will be arranged to live in the East Valley, which is also to follow the habit of their original residences, there are many people who live in the East Valley, and there are few people who live in the West Valley, Fang Lei decided to build the Gu Mansion and the garrison of the Valley Guard in the West Valley, so that the area of the residential area will be balanced.

Cai Qiang volunteered to lead the team to cut down fir trees in the back mountain, the principal Ai Qing once led the valley people to mine fluorescent wall stones, and now he also wants to go back to his old business, leading the valley people to mine stones for construction, Fang Lei can speak well, and decided to go to the brick and tile factory in Taohua Town to contact the bricks and tiles used to build houses.

On this day, Fang Lei found Ai Liang and took him to the medicinal food hall, but Ai Liang was the second monk, confused, and asked, "Young Valley Master!" What are you bringing me to the Medicinal Diet House for? Do you want me to come and help out at the Medicinal Restaurant? ”

"You just think, the work of the medicinal food hall is easy and happy, and after we develop the Daoxiang Valley, you will have to take on a responsibility!" Fang Lei said with a smile.

Ai Liang patted his chest and said: "It's rare that the young valley master trusts him so much, Ai Liang is not afraid of hard work, he just goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, and he doesn't give up!" ”

Fang Lei found Wang Yue'e and said, "Second sister-in-law! From now on, I will give you two days off, take Ai Liang to your mother's house, let him learn the farming techniques of rural people, and in the future, he will return to Daoxiang Valley and lead the valley people to farm! ”

"This is no problem, from here to my mother's house, but ten miles away, it will be there in half an hour, and the concubine will be able to come back in the afternoon, and it will not delay a lot of time!"

Wang Yue'e is also straightforward when she speaks, and she will not beat around the bush to ask for a small bargain, Fang Lei just likes her character, so she asked her to come to the medicinal restaurant to help, so that Dongmei, who has no city government, can use it with confidence, unlike those who are not right-minded, you must always be on guard.

Fang Lei said: "I know that my sister-in-law hasn't left her mother's house for a long time, so I take this opportunity to have a good time with my father and mother, come back tomorrow night, and come to work in the medicinal restaurant the morning after tomorrow!" ”

When she said that, she gave Wang Yue'e ten taels of silver, but she refused to accept it, and excused herself: "Young Master Fang! What are you doing here, I'm going to visit my mother's house and ask you to pay for it? ”

Fang Lei said: "Second sister-in-law, don't be polite! If you want to arrange someone to live in your mother's house to learn farming techniques, you will inevitably trouble your eldest brother and second brother, and you must say more good things in front of them, so that they are willing to teach Ai Liang the unique skills, so you need to bring more gifts! ”

"Ai Liang, this kid has worked in the medicinal food restaurant, he is kind-hearted, diligent, articulate, and likable, the eldest brother and the second brother are also honest farmers, and they will try their best to teach, Fang Gongzi doesn't need to worry!" Wang Yue'e made a guarantee.

Fang Lei also stuffed Ai Liang with fifty taels of silver, and said: "The countrymen live a hard life, you can buy more meat, wine to honor them, when you come back at the beginning of the month to get living expenses, I instructed Ai Xing to give you a subsidy of twenty taels of silver every month for his use!" ”

"No need! I can't use up the living expenses of fifty taels of silver every month, so what else can I subsidize? Ai Liang tried his best to excuse himself.

Fang Lei said: "The cost of living is what you deserve, you can spend it as you like, the study fee is paid to you collectively, it is reasonable, and you should receive it, which is called a clear distinction between public and private!" ”

Having said that, what else can Ai Liang say? I had no choice but to nod and set off with Wang Yue.

Fang Lei came to the front desk, and Dongmei said bitterly: "In order to develop Daoxiang Valley, the young valley master is really heartbroken, look at you, you are black and thin!" ”

"I'm a hard life, if it weren't for the development of Daoxiang Valley, I wouldn't know where to go to the rivers and lakes, so it's okay, the two of us can meet again for the first two days, and talk about ourselves!" Fang Lei said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, Dongmei didn't do it, and said angrily: "Young Valley Master! When have you spoken to your concubine? I couldn't say a word or two seriously, so I didn't know where I ran there again! ”

"People say, everything is in plain sight, as long as you have me in your heart, I have you in my heart, those sweet words of loving brother and loving sister are all used to coax girls, and my son can't say it!" Fang Lei said sincerely.

Dongmei said shyly: "However, girls just like to listen to those sweet words that make people happy, knowing that it is false or false, but they don't say it, but they feel very useful in their hearts!" ”

"Then such a girl is also a person who likes to listen to praise and is greedy for vanity, do you want to be such a person?" Fang Lei asked intentionally.

Dongmei said seriously: "I'm making an analogy, the concubine doesn't want to be such a woman, since it is a husband and wife relationship, it should be real, sincere, and frank, such a marriage can last for a long time, and only then can you grow old with gray hair!" ”

At this time, Fang Lei suddenly remembered what his mother-in-law said, what did he want to say to Dongmei? ”
