Li Luo simply divided the three hundred townsmen into six teams, and handed them over to the master craftsman Sun Sanfu to command and dispatch.

Sun Sanfu is experienced, and immediately led the apprentices to formulate a project plan after getting the drawings.

After that, the bricks, tiles and timber that the villages were responsible for purchasing were also shipped in batches, not only after the settlement, but also the prices were pressed to the lowest by the village leaders, at least helping Li Luo save three or four hundred yuan in building materials.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the ruins of the Pu family were full of people, and Sun Sanfu and other craftsmen and three hundred villagers all arrived, including Yan Falcon, the son of Du Lie, and Hugu and Guangxia, who had escorted Li Luo to purchase materials before.

Sun Sanfu led more than a dozen apprentices to set up an incense case, worshiped Tanjun, played the craftsman god, confirmed the auspicious day, and ordered the official start of construction.

Cui Xiuning had already arranged for several neighbors to act as a room, and set up more than a dozen large pots to cook rice.

Although the villagers do not receive wages for the time being, they still have to take care of the food, otherwise how can they have the strength to work?

Seeing more than a dozen cauldrons set up near the construction site, as well as a few bags of grain stacked on the side, the dissatisfaction of the villagers suddenly collapsed a lot.

At least now there is food to eat.

"It's a pity that I can't live in a new house during the Chinese New Year." Cui Xiuning said regretfully.

…………

Mobei Village is also in Mani Township. It's just that Mobei Village has become a Liujia manor, and the villagers have become Liujiatian slaves.

The various harvests of the manor do not have to pay taxes, but are handed over to the Liu family. The hard work of the field slaves as cattle and horses has no personal freedom, and what they get in exchange is just to make a living.

There is a huge mansion covering an area of nearly 30 acres at the highest point of Mobei Village. There are deep moats and wide moats, high walls and red doors, and many buildings. The end is good.

This giant room is none other than the Liu family.

It is known that the Liu family is one of the four wealthy families in Jianghua, and it is also a side branch of the Liu family in Zhenzhou.

It has been more than 300 years since the founding of the country, and the "Tian Cha Ke System" at the time of the founding of the country has long been abolished. So much so that the clan lords vied with each other to annex the land. Tian Lianqian Mo, manors are lined up, many high-rise buildings are built in Guangxia, and slaves and maids are widely stored. but he does not pay a penny in taxes, and he does not accept the servitude of a man.

This is the case with the Liu family.

Now the Liu family has three estates, a port, three merchant ships, two thousand field slaves, and three hundred private soldiers in Jianghua.

The Liu family has tens of thousands of dollars every year, and has long accumulated huge wealth.

But the pirates have never robbed the Liu family. It's not that the pirates don't want to, it's that they can't break through the Liu family, but they can't help the Liu family's private soldiers.

At this time, a man dressed as a small official was walking towards the gate of Liufu.

A few private soldiers at the gate were unguarded when they saw this person coming, and even greeted him.

"Dong Cunzheng, are you here to see Da Langjun again?"

This person is not Moses Village Zhengdongge, and who is it? He nodded and smiled: "Captain Bu, can Da Lang Jun be in the mansion?"

Commander Nabu laughed, "Lang Jun is watching the newly choreographed song and dance at this time!" ”

Dong Ge entered as soon as he gave his hand, and there was no doubt that he had come to the door many times.

Dong Ge entered the triple courtyard and passed through a water corridor, and then he came to a "plum hibiscus garden" planted with plum blossoms and hibiscus.

Although it is the middle of winter, the flowers and branches in the garden reflect the snow, blooming wantonly, red flowers and white snow, full of poetry.

Surrounded by flowers and trees, there is a wide Xuan, in which someone plays the piano with his hands, the incense sleeves hold the wine, and the red lips blow the sheng; There are also samurai who catch swords and stand up, and there are even scribes who write poems in the scene.

Everyone was surrounded by two young men in gorgeous clothes in the middle.

Five young women in different colored dresses are dancing on the snow outside the pavilion.

They were all barefoot!

Five women dance barefoot in the snow while singing in a graceful voice. It's just that their voices tremble, of course they are frozen.

"Snow white is enough for beauty? A beauty is whiter than snow? Who's white? Hahaha! ”

A young man laughed and raised his glass and said, very happy.

Dong Ge lost no time in flattering: "Naturally, it is the foot of a beautiful woman recuperated by Da Langjun, and it is more white than snow." ”

The young man said lightly: "What's the matter with Lao Dong?" Have a seat. ”

"Xie Da Langjun." Dong Ge bowed and knelt down. Immediately, a cup of piping hot wine was poured by hand.

Of course, this young man is Liu Chengrafter, the eldest son of the Liu family. Now his father is an official in Hanyang, and Liufu is housed by him, so he is naturally happy and happy.

However, just looking at his own light fur, roasting frost charcoal, and drinking hot wine, but making a group of young girls dance on the snow for his amusement, you can know what this person is.

However, it would be a mistake to think that Liu Chengrin is a straw bag who only knows how to indulge in pleasure.

The entire Jianghua Island knows that none of the three brothers of the Liu family are of the same generation, and they are all tigers and wolves. Especially Dalang Jun Liu Chengrafter, he is even more scheming, insidious and treacherous. Many people have suffered at his hands.

Not to mention the others, Liu Chengrin is only twenty-four this year, but he has already joined the army in Jianghua Qipin, and his father is still relieved to hand over the huge family to him to manage, which can be seen.

Dong Ge was also very sensible, and waited until a few dancers fell down in the cold, and Da Langjun asked them to retreat before he opened his mouth to get down to business.

"I want to teach Da Langjun to know that now Li Luo of Xindu Zhai has taken office five days ago...", and then Dong Ge reported Li Luo's various actions since he took office to Liu Chengrin in detail.

After Liu Chengrin listened, his slender eyes were already gloomy.

"This person has been in office for a few days, but he didn't come to Liufu to meet him. It seems that our Duzhai adults are quite stylish. Liu Chengrin smiled coldly.

An even younger young man next to him said: "Big brother, this little brother Li Luo actually knows each other, and he was in the Chuandeng Temple that day, so that Jin Guangxian and I were deflated." I didn't expect him to get an official position so quickly. ”

This young man is Liu Chengming, who had a holiday with Li Luo in Chuandeng Temple. Of the three brothers of the Liu family, two of them had a holiday with Li Luo. It's just that the second Liu Chengjun chased the enemy and fell into Mani Mountain, and there has been no news so far.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Liu Chengrin was a little surprised. He knew that the third brother was not a straw bag, and Jin Guangxian was even more arrogant, and neither of them could help Li Luo?

Liu Chengming told the experience of Chuandeng Temple, and Liu Chengrin understood.

"It was originally claimed to be the Li family of Renzhou, and there was Zhihai to support him, no wonder. Then his official position must be recommended by Zhihai. It seems that this person is not simple. Liu Chengrin said.

Liu Chengming said: "Jin Guangxian and I both think that most of this person is really a disciple of the Li family, because he knows the secret affairs of the Li family's Western Sect many years ago. There are no loopholes in both reason and reason. ”

"Really?" Liu Chengrin raised his eyebrows, "It's mostly true, that is, it can't be completely certain." I want to know if this Li Duzhai is pretending to be from a background. ”

"This person must have already taken care of the county guard, don't touch him for the time being. Lao Dong, you said that he was strictly ordered by the county guard, so he was full of townspeople? Liu Chengrin asked Dong Ge.

Dong Ge replied respectfully: "Exactly." So I had to do it. ”

Liu Chengrin said "ha", "This official is in the county guard mansion to do a consultation to join the army, if Zheng Fujun wants to strictly train the villagers, why doesn't this official know?" It must have been his pretense of using the authority of the county guard to do expediency. ”

"Da Lang Jun is wise." Dong Ge smiled bitterly. Li Luo is the capital village, where his responsibilities lie, even if there is no strict order from the county, if he has to be serious, the village leaders below will not be able to resist.

"Full of 300 Xiangyong, what does he want to do? My Liu family is only 300 private soldiers. Is it just to make meritorious contributions to the suppression of bandits? I'm afraid not of it. Liu Chengrin squinted his eyes and pondered.

He absolutely did not allow the existence of force threatening the Liu family nearby, not even the village warriors of the capital village.

"Lao Dong, you said he was using Xiangyong to build a house?" Liu Chengming asked.

"Yes, Saburo-kun. The three hundred homeless villagers are all used as laborers. ”

"Is there a fixed payment? For example, food. ”

San Langjun said with a smile. The countryside is brave, how can there be any food. It's just that the laborers can eat and work. The little official estimated that when the house was repaired, he would not be able to eat a full meal. Dong Ge laughed.

Liu Chengming said: "This year, hundreds of people can be fed, he really has some money, and he also has some means, using the township as a laborer, but it saves a lot of wages." It's just that this person was like a flower child before, how can he be rich? Could it be that the Inju Lee family supported it? ”

Liu Chengrin suddenly said: "Old Dong, what kind of house does he want to build?" Do you have any drawings? ”

Dong Ge was stunned, "The little official didn't see the drawings." It must be a big mansion, right? ”

Liu Chengrin snorted coldly, "Not necessarily! You get the drawings as soon as possible, Ben Langjun wants to see them. ”

"Yes!" Dong Ge immediately stood up and took the order.
