Chapter 40 Construction Projects

Since Liu Juntao returned from Huakou Town, he sent Chen Ziping to go to various places with the escort team of Qingzhuang, and got in touch with the six villages that had promised to be merged into Yushanji.

Now that the paperwork on the government side has been completed, all that remains is to relocate the population and expand the Yushan Market. Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Liu Juntao was a little anxious, if the expansion project could not be completed before winter, the matter of merging the village would be delayed until next year.

"In five days, all the villagers in these six villages will be moved to Yushanji!"

Liu Juntao gave Chen Ziping an order, although Chen Ziping felt a lot of pressure in his heart, he also knew that the matter was urgent, and immediately set off with dozens of young people.

At the same time, Liu Juntao was not idle, but together with Gao Ran, he took all the young people stationed in Yushanji and began to build a large number of buildings.

At this time, Tang Yu had already recruited more than 100 masons, carpenters, and stonemasons from Huakou Town and surrounding towns at high prices, and purchased a large amount of wood, stone, and various building materials.

Liu Juntao immediately explained to the more than 100 craftsmen and put his plan for Yushanji on paper.

In Liu Juntao's overall planning, it is planned to divide Yushanji into three parts: one part is the original house, which is dedicated to the old people living in Yushanji, and these original houses should be repaired; To the east of this part of the house, Liu Juntao will build a new batch of houses for the people of the six villages who have relocated, and the scale of Yushanji will be expanded several times; Eventually, Liu Juntao carved out a large empty space on the west side of the village, preparing to build a huge compound with dozens of houses to serve as a garrison for the guards.

According to Liu Juntao's overall plan, Yushanji will become the largest village in the area of Huakou Town. The original more than 100 households in Yushanji, plus the people of the six villages who migrated here, the number of households in Yushanji will reach thousands by then, and the population of Yushanji will reach more than 1,000 households by then, plus the relocated stove households!

At that time, these populations can provide Liu Juntao with at least 600 to 800 young people, and the strength of the Yushan Guards will be greatly expanded.

With Liu Juntao's order, the entire Yushanji became a huge construction site, full of young people who carried civil engineering, as well as craftsmen who built houses and leveled the ground.

Half a month after the start of construction, Chen Ziping had already moved all the people and goods of the six villages to Yushanji, and Liu Juntao immediately temporarily resettled these newly relocated people, and all of them were placed in the shacks built in the east of the village, and then distributed to live after the new houses were built.

On this day, Gao Ran accompanied Liu Juntao to look around the village and said, "Big brother, now that the original houses in the village have been basically repaired, the craftsmen are making every effort to build a new house in the east of the village. ”

Liu Juntao nodded, looked at the house that had been renovated, and asked, "How long will it take for the new house in the east to be completed?" ”

"It's going to take another month."

Gao Ran thought for a while and said, "It is said that it is impossible to complete such a large-scale housing project in our village in such a short time. However, we have a large number of craftsmen hired by Yushanji, and the number of materials prepared is sufficient, plus the houses we build are not particular about anything, as long as they live firmly, so the construction speed will be so fast. ”

"Quick?"

Liu Juntao shook his head and said, "At the current rate, when it is all completed, it is estimated that it will already enter the cold winter!" Do so many folks want to spend the winter in their nests? ”

Gao Ran was stunned when he heard this, and said, "But now our construction speed is very fast!" ”

"Not fast enough!"

Liu Juntao looked around and found that Qingzhuang used manpower to carry earthwork and wood to half of the house, which was not only time-consuming and laborious, but also very inefficient.

So Liu Juntao groaned for a while, and asked Gao Ran to call a few carpenters, and in front of these carpenters, he drew a few sketches of pulley groups on paper.

"This thing is called a pulley group, you can make a few according to the pattern I draw, use a rope to wrap around it according to the method above the picture, and use this thing to pull things on top of the house, which can save a lot of effort."

The carpenters were skeptical when they saw this, and everyone didn't think that just a few parts like this could save manpower.

"This young master, is this thing called a pulley really good? Now we're all too busy, or we don't get this stuff, is that okay? ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "You just have to do it, it will definitely work!" ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao asked a few carpenters to immediately start the production, so that Gao Ran was ready to promote it in the village. After that, Liu Juntao went to check on the villagers who had moved in.

"Executives, is this really going to work?"

Gao Ran looked at Liu Juntao's back, and suddenly felt that Liu Juntao was a little unfathomable, and he was always able to make something unexpected at a certain time, as if he knew everything.

"You can do it, my eldest brother says yes, it will be done! A maximum of two hours is required to prepare a sufficient number of pulley sets. Tell me when you're done, and I'll send someone to the site. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, thirty sets of pulley sets were rushed out, and Gao Ran immediately led his subordinates to distribute these pulley sets, and guided the use of earthwork and other materials according to Professor Liu Juntao's use method.

At first, everyone didn't believe that a small pulley set could do anything, and at most it was just a waste of time.

However, when everyone saw that the earthwork that originally required three or five young people to be lifted to the house could be pulled up by only two people pulling the rope after using the pulley set, they were all dumbfounded and looked incredulous.

"Big brother, it's really feasible!"

Gao Ran said in shock, looking at Liu Juntao's eyes full of admiration.

"It's called the power of technology!"

Liu Juntao smiled, looking at the construction site where the speed had been greatly improved, and felt a little relieved.

Orthodox seven years, in October, Yushan set.

At this time, it is equivalent to the middle and late November of the later generations, and all parts of Shandong have entered the cold winter one after another.

The whole village is surrounded by a depressed scene, as if everything in the world has been dormant, quietly waiting for the next spring to bloom.

Liu Juntao walked in the village, looked at the houses in the village that had just been built, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "It's so hanging, fortunately, all the houses have been built in winter, although the courtyard walls of some houses have not been completed, and they need to wait until the beginning of spring to continue to build, at least these houses can be inhabited." ”

Liu Juntao didn't dare to resemble the scene of letting these villagers spend the winter in the nest, and it was estimated that in that case, the villagers and stove households who migrated over would scatter in a hurry. Fortunately, now all the villagers who have newly merged into Yushanji, as well as those stove households, have been assigned their own houses, and the escort team has also been stationed in the west of the village, and everyone has their own winter place.

Of course, Guo Yongzhong also persuaded Liu Juntao that there was no need to move those villages in such a hurry, and that it would be good to wait until all the houses were built.

But Liu Juntao also has his own worries, as the saying goes, there are many dreams at night! When all the houses are built, at least in winter, these villages will be relocated one after another, and they will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.

At that time, if any village temporarily regrets it, or if it suddenly has a bad pool, Liu Juntao will really want to cry without tears.

"Next, it is to recruit young people from among these migrated villagers to join the escort team!"

Liu Juntao had already calculated and was ready to recruit at least 500 more people to expand the strength of the escort force to about 1,000 people.

"When the time comes, even if the Liu family comes to attack, my Yushanji will be invincible!"

However, when Liu Juntao returned home all the way, he found that Tang Yu had been waiting for a long time.

"Tang Yu? When did you come back, is there something wrong? ”

After Tang Yu accompanied Liu Juntao into the house, he handed over the stack of papers in his hand and said, "Big brother, this is the income and expenditure of our Yushan Club in the past few months. ”

Liu Juntao took it and looked at it carefully, but Tang Yu was still saying: "Big brother, in the past few months, although there are three industries in Huakou Town as support, and the goods seized from the Wang family as the foundation, most of our Yushanji's family background has also dispersed!" ”

Liu Juntao listened and watched, and his heart sank suddenly.

"Now the scale of our Yushanji has almost quadrupled larger, and the amount of money and food spent on such a large amount of construction is not a few. Coupled with the population of more than 1,000 households, now their rations and expenses are all taken from the village, so we can't last long. Big brother, you have to plan ahead! ”

Liu Juntao was silent for a while, and said, "How long can the money and food in our hands last now?" ”

"Counting the monthly input from Huakou Town, it will support at most until next year's spring ploughing season."

"Enough!"

Tang Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "Enough? So what happens after the beginning of spring next year? We can't fill our stomachs with spring seeds, right? Big brother, we can't always support so many people, if we want them to support themselves, we have to gain something from it! ”

"Of course I do!"

Liu Juntao knew that Tang Yu was a rare talent, at least in terms of money, he was definitely a handsome talent who could stand alone, and he valued him very much.

"I estimate that at most next year's spring ploughing season, the dispute between the Liu family and the Chen family in the south will have a result. At that time, whether the Liu family kills or we reconcile, there will be a result. ”

Liu Juntao looked at Tang Yu thoughtfully, and continued: "This is the result I want!" At that time, the private salt of Yushan Salt Pond can be distributed, which is a sea of gold and silver, which can not only solve our money and grain problems, but also accumulate a large amount of money and grain, and we can do many things with these money and grain! ”

Tang Yu frowned and asked, "Big brother, if it is the spring ploughing season next year, then the Liu family and the Chen family are still deadlocked, what should we do?" ”

Liu Juntao immediately said arrogantly: "Then I will take our escort team to kill it, directly destroy the Liu family, and snatch all the Liu family's goods back!" Then negotiate peace with the Chen family and distribute our private salt directly in Yanzhou Mansion! ”

Tang Yu was shocked when he heard this.
