Volume 1 Chapter 71 Building a Kiln to Burn Bricks
In the space, Liu Ximing counted yesterday's harvest with an excited face, before he only made a rough estimate, and before he had time to count carefully, he found that these big dogs were indeed rich.
Zhang Yucheng is just a small rich man in the countryside, and the thieves were almost killed by the Long Xiang team before they could transfer the goods, and his family's property can be said to have all fallen into the hands of Liu Ximing, and there are about 1,300 taels of silver and some goods after being counted.
Zhang Yuqing's family is even more terrible, although Liu Ximing only collected about 1,600 taels of money from his family, but at that time, the thieves took away most of his family's wealth, and Liu Ximing only got a little surplus wealth, so you can imagine how much money his family originally had.
After deducting the 1,000 taels of silver dropped in the county government to buy land and dot points, plus the income from selling rice in Pengzhou before, Liu Ximing still has 2,600 taels of silver in his hand at the moment.
At this time, Liu Ximing finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was no problem to feed such a large group of people.
He looked up at the statue of the Ziwei Emperor in the space, thinking of the abnormal changes that occurred in the space of Yu Yongkai and others last time, and the idea of experimenting again came to his heart, if it was really like what he imagined, then he would make a lot of money.
Early the next morning, after Liu Ximing led the Longxiang team to complete the training as usual, he gathered all the nearly 500 people in the village, looking at the black pressure in front of him, Liu Ximing felt a pride in his heart, cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, now everyone has also seen that Zhangjiawan Village has also been burned to the ground, and everyone who wants to settle here can only rely on us to support ourselves." At present, except for the young people between the ages of 14 and 18, the rest of the people are guaranteed by one for every ten households, and each person elects two highly respected people as the chief and deputy chief of security. ”
There was a commotion among the people below, and they chose their own security chief, how can this be chosen?
Liu Ximing scratched his head when he heard everyone's muttering, it seemed that it was too early to do this now, thinking of this, he simply beckoned Yongkai and the others to come over, and asked them to divide the people into Baojia according to household registration, and of course only he could designate the position of Baojia.
It took another half a day to get this through, and hundreds of people chattered and quarreled non-stop, but fortunately, with the help of the Longxiang team, the work was finally successfully completed.
When the villagers were whispering, Liu Ximing waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and shouted loudly: "Now that the various security guards have been divided, all the work in the future must obey the arrangements of the security chief and the deputy security chief. ”
When the villagers saw that Liu Ximing turned his face faster than turning a book, they were all a little at a loss, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
Liu Ximing didn't care, since these people have settled down, it will be difficult to escape from his palm, he glanced at the audience, and continued: "Now we first build the house first, and later divide the two guarantees to dismantle the bricks and tiles of the original Zhang family's mansion, and the other eight guarantees will follow my craftsmen to build a kiln to burn bricks, and each of our families will live in a brick house in the future." ”
"And this kind of good thing?"
The faces of the villagers suddenly rippled again, and the voices of the people discussing below gradually became louder again, everyone looked incredible, and an old man cautiously handed over his hand to Liu Ximing and said: "The owner, I don't know if this house will be repaired to count the money?" ”
"Hahaha, this house naturally has to be counted as money. However, everyone can rest assured that the wages will be calculated according to the head of the work of each guarantee, and it can be deducted directly from the house price at that time, and the excess part will be paid off in the next three years together with everyone's rations, and it is not considered profit. ”
The old man and a group of people behind him were overjoyed when they heard this, and it was not considered a profit to pay it off in three years, which is a great benevolence and righteousness, and how many peasants were forced to go bankrupt step by step by this profit.
"The owner is a really nice person"
"The Owner's Benevolence and Righteousness"
The corners of Liu Ximing's mouth rose, and he beat a stick to give a sweet date, which was really useful.
The current farmers are still relatively simple, and no virgin dares to jump out and ask Liu Ximing to supply supplies for free, which saves him a lot of effort.
As for digging a kiln to burn bricks, this is not a difficult task, and among the craftsmen recruited yesterday are masons, and these people can bring the villagers to build a kiln to burn bricks.
However, it is the young and strong people between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, and Liu Ximing has other plans.
The Longxiang team is still too small, if there is another thief to attack, I am afraid that all the hard work will be wasted, Liu Ximing has already had the idea of expanding the Longxiang team, and now with the addition of this group of newcomers, it is just right to expand the Longxiang team into Longxiangtun.
As for the selection of team officials, of course, they can only be served by the original members of the Longxiang team, but Li Biao, the eldest of the eleven teenagers, is only 17 years old, and Yu Yongkai, Wei Jingguo and other four slightly older ones have just turned 15 years old.
"Qingzhuang now has one hundred and eighteen people, a total of eleven teams, each team captain is the original member of the Long Xiang team, each team also corresponds to the village armor, then you communicate with the chief of the guard, command them to work."
"Second brother, let our gang lead people now, I'm afraid it's a little too much." Yu Yongkai said to Liu Ximing with a hesitant expression.
Liu Ximing looked at the people of the Long Xiang team and encouraged them: "I know that everyone is still young, but if you think about it, so many thieves have been slaughtered by us, what is this little thing." I'm only fifteen years old this year, and I'm not still leading you to kill thieves, besides, who else can I rely on now but you? ”
"Swear allegiance to the second brother"
When everyone in the Long Xiang team heard him say this, they all blushed and patted their chests to express their attitude.
Liu Ximing saw that everyone's morale had risen, and he was finally a little relieved, there is a difference between having a team and not having a team.
Seeing that some of the young men below showed unconvinced looks, he immediately turned his head and shouted: "Listen, when the house is repaired, I will select people from among you who have performed well to join my family's guards, and then there will be not only a family of money, but also a monthly salary." However, whether you can be hired in the end depends on how your captain evaluates, if they say a word, then no matter how good you do, it will be in vain, do you understand? ”
In the end, Liu Ximing almost roared out, these hundred people heard at first that they could be used as a family member and take the moon stipend, and they were excited one by one, and when they heard him say this at the end, they looked at each other, and they didn't dare to underestimate the captain they had just appointed.
A group of teenagers from the Long Xiang team glanced at each other, all of them showed eager looks, and saw Liu Ximing wave his hand and signal them to go down to pick people, one by two, they followed his usual appearance, tightened their little faces, and walked into the crowd with their hands behind their backs to pick people.
Liu Ximing quietly watched them select the team members on the stage, everything was difficult at the beginning, and now this situation can only be like this.
It is just a good time to observe and observe during the time of repairing the house, on the one hand, it is necessary to screen out the people who are suitable to be the reserve soldiers of the Longxiang team from the more than 100 people, and on the other hand, it is also a good time to exercise the ability of everyone in the Longxiang team.

Shao Rong stood in the queue of young and strong and felt a little excited, although it was only one night, but he suddenly felt that life was completely different.
The night before the township was looted by thieves, a fire burned most of the houses, he thought that his home was going to be wiped out by the thieves, who knew that the second young master of the Liu family in Zhangjiawan Village arrived in time with more than a dozen people, and drove the thieves out of the township.
Especially seeing that the county officials kept praising this Young Master Liu, Shao Rong and the other township teenagers immediately regarded Liu Ximing as their object of worship, they were all fifteen or sixteen years old, how could they be so capable.
Therefore, when Liu Ximing announced the work of the detachment today, he stood up without much thought and helped the captain named Yu Yongkai to gather manpower together, but he didn't expect Captain Yu to not only praise him, but also make him the vice captain of the team.
Listening to Captain Yu, the right is the meaning of the temporary generation, if he performs well in the future, it is possible to directly let him be the vice captain, which can make him happy, and he is even more positive in doing things.
Shao Rong mingled in the crowd and circled around Young Master Liu around the village, and the few masons in front of him kept checking the soil on the ground.
When they arrived near the river, the mason named Li Xi turned his head and said with a sneer: "Young master, the soil near here is best for burning bricks. ”
Young Master Liu nodded, then turned his head and instructed the captain and the others: "Then choose here, you take out all the engineering drawings, choose a good place and start work directly." ”
Yu Yongkai and others took out a piece of paper from their arms, Shao Rong leaned in and looked at it as the deputy captain, not to mention the dense words written on the paper, but also drew a lot of lines on it horizontally and vertically, and he was a little confused when he saw it.
I only heard Young Master Liu continue to say to the captain and more than a dozen other people: "According to what Li Xi said, first take the white ash circle of the place where the kiln was built, and then draw the operation areas such as excavation, mud mixing, and brick making on the ground according to the project management drawings in hand, and divide them into three groups according to the instructions on the drawings, and each lead their own team and the corresponding armor for construction. Alright, let's get to work. ”
"Whoa"
Shao Rongzheng listened energetically, and was suddenly startled by the shouts of the Long Xiang team, and when he saw Yu Yongkai and the others raising their heads and shouting in unison, he, like everyone else, was all shocked.
