Chapter 81: The master is in place
When Zhao Xiaopin and several people brought the news of this big deal back to Wangsun Village, almost all men, women and children in the village rushed to tell each other, for fear that one family would miss this good thing.
Almost every household was mobilized, just as they were preparing for war with the Khitan in the north, each family brought a shovel and shovel to build a house, and the carpenter and stonemason also brought tools such as saws, hammers, axes, gouging and chiseling, ink buckets, etc., and those with oxen were pulled by oxen, and there were mules and mules with mules.
The pots and pans and bedding at home are all packed and taken away, such a big house will definitely not be completed overnight, and it is inevitable that you will have to cook there overnight. The master has a little apprentice who is responsible for taking care of the cooking, helping with cooking and laundry, and the little master has to be taken care of by his family.
Zhao Jinyu originally planned to call a few sensible and flexible little apprentices to come back and start work, but every family didn't want to miss this big job, every family wanted to send someone to work, and after counting the heads, there were forty or fifty little apprentices who wanted to come over, and the head of the family would share a sum of money after the house was built, and everyone wanted to come. There is also that feng shui master, who is also surnamed Zhao, was the first to follow as an apprentice, and he is still more flexible, seeing that there is no market in the apprentice's line, he jumped ship and followed the feng shui master, this is more mysterious, except for their Wangsun Village and their own village, others are more polite when they see their feng shui man's line.
There was no way, in the end, it was a lot, and there were all kinds of coercion, or there were more than 30 little apprentices who followed, and there have never been so many people who went to work outside in the history of Wangsun Village as today. The mighty group of people, like fleeing from the famine, prepared torches regardless of the darkness, did not want to wait until tomorrow, and now rushed to Xinghua.
The biggest factor in social instability is that the government is most afraid of the displaced people, because the displaced people are quite difficult to manage, and the biggest factor in social instability is to fire a shot and fire a cannon, and then change the next place after making trouble, and there is no place to arrest people. The momentum of these people was so great that when they passed through Xinghua County, they were stopped and interrogated. Zhao Jinyu and the other most senior ones had to play the role of the head of the family when Zhao Dafa was away, and act as a speaker to communicate with the officers and soldiers guarding the door. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate only found in their luggage that shovels, shovels, hoes and other tools were indeed used by housebuilders, but they dared to be careless. If these tools are used well, they are not less powerful than swords, and the guards at the door don't want to let such a group of homeless people in to make trouble, if it really makes a big fuss, the county magistrate will not let him go, how far and how far these people have to go.
A group of people had no choice, so they went around Xinghua County again, and when they walked to Xinghua City, it was almost the afternoon of the next day. It is rare to see a group of people walking in groups in the countryside, there are several situations, one is the homeless people, the refugees from the north have come down, they are very hateful, they often go to the field to grab vegetables and grain, and when they are sued by the officials, they can only beat them up, everything is eaten, what is the use of beating them. The second is that the government has come down to collect taxes, which generally has the lead of the official uniform, followed by a group of ruffians. This situation is only once or twice a year, after summer and autumn, the autumn harvest, and the peasants have grain in their hands before they can harvest something. The third is fighting, yes, it is fighting, fighting between villages, between neighbors, often a stream, a small piece of land, a small tree can trigger a large-scale fight between two villages. Feudal official? The government generally does not come forward, and it is difficult for the Qing officials to judge whether family affairs are not or not, these are all difficult problems accumulated by history. Whoever has a hard fist will listen to whomever it is, and the big fish will eat the small fish.
He Lu has not had this kind of large-scale fighting for a long time, because He Lu has no need to fight at all, He Lu's land is too poor, a large area of land is abandoned and no one cultivates, and the daughter-in-law who marries outside has no status, and he can't marry a daughter-in-law from other places, so naturally there are many fewer opportunities for conflict with the outside, and for many years, He Lu has been a stable place to a certain extent.
What's going on today? But anyone who sees this group of homeless people with an inexplicable and terrifying evil smile on their faces, everyone will retreat, these people are strong and strong, everyone is either holding a hoe or an axe in their hands, there is no empty hand, the ox carts and carriages that follow behind are carrying things that I don't know where to rob, walking along the road, Lianqian, Xianshui He Lu Road There is not even a single insect on the road. It's all hidden.,Annoyed these people.,Is there still a life.。。
When he arrived at He Lu, Zhao Xiaopin ran out first to report to Liang Chuan and Zhao Dada. Liang Chuan and Zhao Fa were quite shocked when they saw this group of spectacular "working people", not only Liang Chuan, but even Zhao Da Fa didn't expect so many people to come this time, a full thirty or forty people, probably all the strong laborers in the village came. Damn, I finally met a good job, so many people, and I have to divide a lot of money when the time comes, how much can I have left.
Liang Chuan can arrange for this Zhao Dafa and a few masters to live in the He clan ancestral hall temporarily, after all, having a covered place is much stronger than the grass shed, but so many people, it is not realistic to live in. After discussing with Zhao Dafa and He Baozheng, how to settle these people, Zhao Dafa said, don't worry, they work outside to build a grass hut, this kind of life is used to it, come to beg for a living, do they have to pick and choose, there is a good place to live.
Zhao Dafa led a group of them to the place where Liangchuan built a house and chose a site. Under the command of Zhao Dafa, a group of people quickly unloaded all kinds of pots and pans and tools on the ox cart and carriage, a few people took axes, firewood knives and other tools up the mountain to cut bamboo, and a few people went to the dry land by the river to harvest thatch, they had a clear division of labor, flexible hands and feet, although they had to sleep in this broken grass shed at night, but all their faces were filled with happy smiles, and finally there was work to do, which was better than staying at home all the time.
Sure enough, this professional is different from the halfway monk, Liang Chuan originally built two small broken grass sheds and built a half-tone, which is nondescript. Looking at their thatched huts, they are more aware of their own needs, and they have mastered the construction technology of building houses for others in other places for a long time, they are not like Liang Chuan to cut these hardwoods to build houses, they use soft and flexible branches to build a frame, although the north wind still howls from time to time in this season, but the purlin joints are tied, the house is still quite strong, and they live for a short time, there is no need to spend too much effort on this thatched hut. Their earthen stoves were made of stones, pasted with mud to prevent air leakage, and the stove fire was already boiling water.
Liang Chuan and He Baozheng also came to take a look, and there was a hot scene on the foundation site of the house. He Baozheng looked at the good descendants of Luocheng and sighed with emotion in his heart, he is the Baozheng of this land, although there are people who are older than him in Helu Village and older than him, but most of these old people don't ask about the world. He watched the young people in the village go out batch after batch over the years, but when they went out, a few of them really came back to glorify their ancestors, and most of them had no news, and the village was now full of old and young, women and children. How I hope that the young descendants of my village can be as down-to-earth as the young people in Luocheng, how good such a day is, it is the duty of the peasant family! Instead of having those unrealistic dreams of getting rich every day! He looked at the head of this group of people, Zhao Fafa, who was old, and spelled out to lead the villagers to beg for a living, all the younger generations respected him, unlike himself, with a righteous name, he would only guard a few acres of thin fields and planing food, and his heart was also very far behind.
Ground will be broken tomorrow, and Liang Chuan is also very excited. Thanks to the group of righteous people in the mountains and lakes who sent him so much gold, silver and jewelry, although there is no special way to make money in his life, but this is not in a hurry, the most basic life guarantees of food, clothing, housing and transportation can only be considered when those are not, and although people are a little more now, but eating those robbed gold and silver can not be eaten for ten years and eight years, save some use.
It's getting late, Brother Zhao and Li Chuyi are also back, Li Chuyi is now full of food, nothing to do, don't take the firewood knife and walk around the mountain with a black nose, but it's good to go around, and when you come back, there will never be an empty place in the basket. Brother Zhao has nothing to do now, Yi Niang saw that Ye Xiaochai's body was not yet well, and the herbs for treating diseases were used quickly, so she asked Brother Zhao to run errands and buy what she needed.
When night falls, Helu Village seems to have never been so lively as it is today. Today, the movement of this group of Luocheng masters was too big, which made the villagers of several nearby villages panic, thinking that something was going to happen, and many people couldn't resist their curiosity, and secretly followed over to watch from a distance, and saw that this group of people walked to the back of the village in Helu that was inaccessible into the mountains, and stopped to set up camp. There was no expectation of excitement to watch, and people came and went, and finally went back.
There is no excitement to see, but they also see a trace of wrong, these people have ink buckets and stone chisels on them, except for the master who built the house and the house will bring these things, who will bring them? Helu is a place where the bell rings, is it possible that there are still people who can afford to hire so many masters to build a house? How big is the house to build?
Wisps of cooking smoke gradually floated at the foot of Helu Mountain, and the master of Luocheng buried the pot to make rice, there was no wine and meat, and the brown rice was left in the pot with a little lard fried small green vegetables.
How about living with rice to eat? Liang Chuan recalled the days when he was injured, Yi Niang was afraid that he would not have enough money to buy medicine for his injuries, so he ate millet porridge at once, how many people in this land could not eat, so they were crawling and rolling at this mouthful of snow-white rice, their days were in Helu people, not in the eyes of Fengshan people, they could be regarded as happy, after all, there was craftsmanship on the body, and they were still more respected craftsmen in ancient times.
On the edge of this stream, the hardships of life will continue to face when I wake up tomorrow.
