Lao Zhang is in his forties, and he and his team members are digging a big pit, which is ten meters long, five meters wide, and three meters high, and it is almost completed.

Captain: "Alright, it's almost done, let's all come up." ”

Lao Zhang listened, picked up his tools and climbed up the ladder to the ground.

Not far from the edge of the pit, there is a pile of corpses, this is the bandit who has just been killed by the volunteers, Lao Zhang belongs to the transport team, in addition to transporting the spoils of war, the logistics clean up the battlefield, digging a pit and burying the corpse is also their responsibility, all the bandit corpses were buried in a big pit.

Soon, more than 200 corpses were thrown into the pit, there were still injured bandits who did not die thoroughly, Lao Zhang gave them a good time, stabbed through the heart of the dead bandits, it is impossible to treat the bandits, just they are not full and have nothing to do, these people don't know how many hurtful things they have done.

Captain: "Alright! This harvest is good, and everyone can get a few hundred more money after they go back. Let's go, the military master is waiting for us to do things. ”

The thieves had some money on them, and these small money volunteers looked down on them, so they gave the transport team a chance, and the money and property found from the corpse had to be handed over uniformly, and when they returned, according to the average number of people, if the transport team member secretly took the silver found out for himself, after being discovered, this person could not stay in the transport team, and no one was willing to cooperate with this kind of person.

The convoy followed behind the Volunteers, and every time there was something missing, which was also one of the reasons why the convoy was popular.

A platoon of volunteers came over with a group of women, Lao Zhang knew what the reason was when he saw it, he was robbed here by a bandit, and there may be a woman who kept her chastity, "Damn bandits." ”

After Lao Zhang saw so many women, he didn't feel guilty about the matter of mending the knife thief just now, they were all damned people.

Volunteers: "These women are brought back and handed over to the eldest lady, so that they can take care of them, don't break your mouth." ”

Captain: "Don't worry, the little one will take care of the people below." It won't mess you up. ”

The Volunteers sent people over to explain before leaving.

Except for Li Shi's first legion to start the clean-up operation, the other legions were cleaning up the two counties at the same time, Chen Zijian's legion had a different mission from other legions, and Chen Zijian's personal guard was to go to sea to clean up the nearby pirates and ensure the safety of the vicinity of Dianbai County.

Dianbai County is an important meat production base, pirates come to rob from time to time, who can stand it, defense is not Chen Zijian's character, taking the initiative is the king, exterminating the surrounding pirates, for the time being, there is no need to worry about pirates to sabotage.

Zhangjiacun new factory, red brick factory.

"Dangdangdang."

When the time to get off work in the afternoon, the bell rang, Wu Shi finished the last work at hand, packed up the tools and left after work, today is a rest day, Zhangjiacun stipulates that you can take a day off every six days of work.

There are thousands of employees in the first red brick factory, usually living in the staff dormitory in the factory, if before, Wu Shi lived here, now it is different, the last time the new area was sold, Wu Shi was lucky to buy one, and lived in the brick house earlier than others.

Blending into the gray-brown linen crowd, Wu Shi is like a drop of water into the sea, it looks very inconspicuous, there is not only a red brick in the factory area, there are other factories, now all factories are on holiday, except for a small number of workers in the factory dormitory, most people choose to go home.

The factory and Zhangjia Village are seven or eight miles away from the road, the cement road was completed a few days ago, walking on the way back, Wu Shi has some feelings, this kind of life is both familiar and unfamiliar. If you hadn't actually seen it with your own eyes, you would have suspected that there was something mentally wrong.

Speaking of strangeness, because a few months ago, Wu Shi was an ordinary person in Maoming County, rushing around every day for a living, living a hard life, since he was arrested in Zhangjia Village, everything here and Wu Shi's knowledge seems very unfamiliar, almost subverting Wu Shi's previous knowledge, although it is different from before, but there is one thing for sure, that is, life here is better.

Work hard here, in addition to having a stable high salary every month, usually including food and housing, three full meals a day, he Wu Shi is a person with little craftsmanship, here to do things seriously for less than three months, he has his own new house, Wu Shi is now planning to accumulate some silver with his wife, buy more than ten acres of fertile land, yes, this is a tempting dream, Wu Shi does not have his own field in Maoming County, usually by doing coolies to support his family, but Wu Shi also thinks about the good thing of having his own good land, which was not dared to think before, Now it's time to have that idea.

Zhangjia Village's policy is that the people who want to farm can collectively or individually declare the wasteland, and the fertile land that has been opened up belongs to the individual.

Wu Shi swayed, working as a full-time worker in a brick factory, or going home to cultivate the wasteland. People's ideas vary with time and knowledge, and when they used to work as coolies, they wanted to have their own acres of fertile land.

Wu Shi's wages in the brick factory are much higher than before, and he doesn't need to be exposed to the sun in the fields, and his income is stable, and the income from farming is far lower than the income of the factory, which makes him entangled.

"Get in the car, get in the car, ten cents per person."

There was a shouting sound behind him, Wu Shi didn't have to look back to know that it was a bus carriage, this is between Zhangjia Village and the factory area, the driver of the carriage heard that the volunteers were injured and retreated, the horse is an old horse that can not go far, after the cement road is opened, this kind of bus and carriage appeared, which is convenient for the two places, and those who do not want to walk a few miles can spend money to get on the bus.

This kind of thing is really unheard of, in the past, let him spend ten yuan to walk a few miles less for comfort, Wu Shi paused him, he may accumulate hundreds of yuan a month, and it is impossible for him to spend ten yuan to take the car.

Now ten cents, it's not a problem, Wu Shi beckoned on the side of the road, the bus pulled by two old horses stopped, the bus carriage is a four-wheeled big board car, up to twenty people, no matter how many old horses can't pull it, this is still thanks to the cement road, otherwise this kind of four-wheeled big board car can't walk on the potholed dirt road.

Because the factory was on holiday this afternoon, ten buses and carriages came at a time, and Wu Shi took advantage of the lack of people to get on the bus.

The roof of the carriage was shaded from the sun and rain by thin wooden planks, and it was open on all sides, much faster than walking, and sat on the carriage chair and listened to the chatter of the workers around it.

Wu Shi works in the factory, and he is not proficient in news, but there is news here, that is, a coachman who drives horses, who travels between the two places, and he used to be a volunteer, so he is more proficient in news than most people.

Wu Shi sat behind the coachman and asked, "Brother, is there anything big these days?" ”

What Wu Shi wanted to ask was the task issued by the chief, and the extra money earned from such a task could laugh off his big teeth.

The coachman glanced back at Wu Shi, and the people around heard Wu Shi's question, stopped chatting, and waited for the coachman.

The coachman: "Hehe, you shouldn't have heard of it, the chief caught a very big whale in Dianbai County, and I heard that the whale has seven or eight battles, and it weighs tens of thousands of catties. ”

The coachman listened to what his former colleagues said, but he couldn't think of any fish so big, the people in the car were all inland, and when he heard that a fish was tens of thousands of catties, he couldn't help but exclaim, how big is the fish of tens of thousands of catties!

The coachman: "Soon there will be canned whale food brought back from Dianbai County, I heard that whale meat is better than beef, and your factory will have whale meat to eat soon after." ”

Wu Shi "Brother, what else is there to hear?" ”

Coachman: "Oh, when we came, we just received the news that tens of thousands of people will come tomorrow, and there is a shortage of manpower, and we will recruit a group of temporary employees to do things, and we will pay 150 yuan a day." Aren't you free tomorrow, you can go over and help? ”

When Wu Shi heard that tens of thousands of people were coming, he knew in his heart what the reason was, it must have been the chief who went to all parts of the county to arrest him! This is the same as what he grabbed from Maoming County at that time, if he is free tomorrow, he can do things, and he is more rich and profitable.

Coachman: "You don't know, the chief is building a railway in Zhangjia Village and Shayuan Town to transport iron, and thousands of blacksmiths have passed by a few days ago. ”

Wu Shi was puzzled when he heard it, the railway? What railway? You won't use iron to pave the road, just like a concrete road!

Listening to all kinds of news from the coachman, he soon arrived at the vegetable market, which was also completed not long ago, after Wu Shi got off the car, he wandered around the vegetable market, and came back once in a few days, to buy some good vegetables and go back to satisfy his family's hunger.
