Chapter 5 The Need for a House

handed his sister a bag of small steamed buns, and Wang Yue pulled his brother aside.

"Brother, we're short on time right now. It was necessary to build a city near the Lugou Bridge within a month, and to have a team of no less than 500 people, and to go through simple training. Wang Yue said endlessly.

Wang Zhuo was stunned by his bold words, and said excitedly: "Second son, did you not wake up or what's wrong?" Build a city in a month! Do you know how long it takes to build a city? At least a few years! What's more, we have no money, and we don't know if the government will let us build it. ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Brother, have you forgotten that I have the Five Elements Handling Technique?" Look over there. ”

Wang Zhuo finally noticed a large row of vehicles not far away. I don't know what it is, but I still think it's amazing. This made him believe that it was obtained by his younger brother using the Five Elements Carrying Technique.

Wang Yue continued: "All kinds of building materials, food, and money are all under my responsibility, and I want as much as I want. I need people now, people who listen to our arrangements. So please cooperate with my brother, our brothers work together, and the profits will be broken! ”

"Second son, you have such a high spell, we can take our mother to the capital to enjoy happiness. Why be here, doing such an impossible thing. Wang Zhuo couldn't understand his brother's thoughts, and persuaded softly.

"Brother, it's not difficult for our family to go to the capital to enjoy happiness, and we can leave at any time now. But I can't go, and I can't bear to go, because I can't bear to see all the people here die! How many people are there outside this Jingshi City? How many more can we take with us? Wang Yue's tone became more and more heavy.

"Why?" Wang Zhuo was a little shocked, how many people are going to die? He couldn't help but pull his brother's clothes and said loudly: "Second son, you tell your brother, why is this?" ”

"In a month, a hundred thousand Tartars will be here. How much is 100,000? It is not an exaggeration to describe it as overwhelming! Think about it, with the brutality of the Tartars, how many people here can live? Wang Yue also spoke louder and louder.

The sweat on Wang Zhuo's head came down, such a scene is terrifying to think about. Let them, the unclothed and unarmed common people, face 100,000 Tartar soldiers, then even the official army is not an opponent!

"Second son, what you said is true?" It was the mother Li Xiufang who made the noise, and the two sons were shouting loudly by the car, and it was difficult to hear it.

"Mother, of course it's true." Wang Yue said in an affirmative tone.

"Boys, I hear what you say. I was thinking, where did the second son get so many things? I just heard what the second son said about the handling technique, I just don't believe it and can't help it. I've never seen a lot of these things, so they can't fall from the sky, right? It seems that the second son is also a blessed person, and he is also a person with great magical powers. Speaking of the Tartar soldiers coming, even if others don't believe it, I believe it anyway. ”

Li Xiufang said and took the hands of her two sons, and said softly: "People say that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." What's more, if you save so many people, how many floating slaughters will it take? If you think about it, these people fled like us, and they were killed by the Tartars, as if we were killed by the Tartars, and it makes me feel bad to think about it. Now even if they are allowed to run, no one will believe it! Since the second son has a way, you can do it well! ”

Wang Yue felt the greatness of his mother and looked at his brother.

Wang Zhuo's eyes were resolute and said, "Second son, let's do it together!" You say, what should I do? ”

"First of all, call Zixiong and a few of them over, select a few old and weak women from the villagers who ate last night, and let them learn to make breakfast, and then the cooking will be handed over to them." Wang Yue said.

"Leave this to Wei Niang, I'll take care of the cooking." Li Xiufang volunteered.

"That's great, I'll be relieved to take care of this." Wang Yue couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Then he said: "In this way, Zixiong and they will free their hands, and then call a few young people, as well as my brother, to form a team of about a dozen people, led by my brother." To recruit people from the nearby refugees, we must first find strong and strong people, and our early team must be capable. In addition, Pengyuan followed me and did some registration work. Okay, that's probably it for now. Let Zixiong gather the villagers first, and before breakfast, I will say a few words. ”

When everyone arrived one after another, Wang Yue jumped into the truck and said loudly: "Folks! Now we have something to eat. Then we need a place to live, and a place to live safely. So what to do? We can only build our homes with our own hands. Build a house, build a courtyard wall, all kinds of materials, all kinds of tools, I Wang Yue Wang Sihua has it. But you need the help of the villagers, are you willing! ”

"Yes!" "Yes!" What's not to want from this? Isn't it the farmer who eats by strength? What's more, if you build your own house and don't spend your own money, where can you find such good things? It doesn't get much more positive than this.

Wang Yue pressed his hands, waited for the crowd to be quieter, and then said, "I'm very happy to see everyone so enthusiastic and positive. Considering that we fled, every family died, and almost all of them were mutilated. So no one can do it on their own, we have to work together to do it together. Those who have little strength to cook and do laundry, those who can build houses and build city walls to command, and the young and strong people who move bricks to learn to build houses, also need someone to dig a well. We have a clear division of labor, so that we can build the house and courtyard wall faster and better, don't you say? ”

"yes, that's right!" "The second son is right, no one can take care of themselves." Everyone understands the benefits of division of labor and cooperation, not to mention that there are still so many people who lack a lot of food.

"That's right, we can only survive now if we are in a group." Wang Yue saw that the effect was good, and then said loudly: "There are no rules, there is no circle." Therefore, everyone must follow the arrangement and everyone will do it. If there are people who are able-bodied but idle and do not work, waiting to enjoy the fruits of other people's labor, please leave, there are no idlers here. If you don't have any opinions, right? ”

"No comment, what do you say!" People are responding. There is nothing to say about this, in the simple concept of these people, it is not possible to eat other people's food for nothing.

"Okay, thank you all for your support." Wang Yue arched his hand to the crowd. Then he said, "Whoever has experience in building houses and building walls will be elected." ”

"Of course it's Lao Zhoutou! The big families in several villages around us built houses, and he led people to build them. ”

An old man of nearly fifty years old came out of the crowd, with a square face and a white beard, and he was considered an old man at the age of fifty.

Lao Zhou bowed his hand to Wang Yue and said: "Second son, leave this job to me, don't talk about the house, we also built the city wall when we were young!" ”

Wang Yue then remembered that this was Zhou Yide, the husband of Aunt Zhou.

"Uncle Zhou, then I will leave this job to you. After eating in a while, I will discuss with you how to build it and how many people to use. Wang Yue nodded.

"Okay." Zhou Yide answered and returned to the crowd.

"Brother Baochang, come over here." This used to be a long-term worker in Wang Yue's family, but later when the family had less land, he didn't hire long-term workers.

When Wang Baochang heard him shouting, he immediately came out of the crowd and said, "Second Young Master, what's the matter?" ”

This Nima, I haven't been a young master for many years, right?

"Brother Baochang, you will take a few people to dig a well in a while." Wang Yue said that digging wells is particularly light, and that the rural people of this era are digging wells, which is a more difficult technical job than building a house.

Wang Baochang was startled, and said with a sad face: "Second young master, I can't dig a well, I can do my best." ”

Wang Yue looked at him and felt funny: "You didn't know before, but you will be in a while, it's you." ”

Wang Baochang left with a sad face.

Li Xiufang took a few aunts and daughters-in-law to learn to cook. Breakfast is still porridge, this is simple. But this time it's not pork, it's frozen chicken, and this thing really needs to be more or less.

Everyone enjoyed the perfect food, and Wang Yue first took Zhou Yide and a few of his apprentices to see the place. As soon as he gestured there, he sketched the outline of a city within a radius of eight miles. He wanted to build a square city of one square kilometer, but in order not to affect the progress and effectively use the area of the city, he did not consider the fortress.

Zhou Yide couldn't help but listen to him messing around there: "Second son, we are just these people, what you said is to build a city, even if this person is ten times more, it will have to be built for several years, and we don't even have a place to live." ”

"You come with me!"

Wang Yue led them to a car, opened the container door, pointed to the densely placed cement on it, and said: "This is called cement, mix it with water and sand, and when it dries, it is as hard as a stone." How much do we want for this cement, how much do we have! ”

Then he pointed to the mixer truck: "You don't need manpower to mix, use this." ”

He instructed the men to pour a bag of cement into it, add water, turn on the mixer, and the mixer truck rumbled.

Zhou Yide and the others were so frightened that they retreated, and Wang Yue laughed: "Uncle Zhou, don't be afraid, as long as you don't touch the rotating jar, you won't hurt anyone." ”

"Second son, this thing is too scary, how can it turn on its own?" Zhou Yide still didn't dare to approach.

"This is driven by a hydraulic motor." Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Wang Yue poured some cement on the ground again, pointed to the cement and said: "This is fast-drying Portland cement, which will be completely dry in one day." ”

Then he showed them the bricks and steel bars, and he pointed to the steel bars and said, "The city wall is pierced with steel bars every ten meters, so that the city wall will be stronger." How long is a meter? If you look at this ruler, it's one meter. Wang Yue took out a tape measure and showed it to them.

Zhou Yide touched the steel bar, and said a little sadly: "This is the best fine iron, you actually want to use it to build the city wall?" ”

"This is called an iron wall, don't be reluctant, we can't use this thing, and we still have this car after we use it up." Wang Yue said magnanimously.

"Well, it's your family that's ruined, and that's all I've done." Zhou Yide shook his head and said.
