"One hundred and forty? That's a bit too much, right? Master Zhao muttered quietly on the side. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yun Shu raised his eyes and looked at Master Zhao immediately shut up, but the uncut look in his eyes still betrayed his true thoughts.

"One hundred and forty is indeed a bit much, but for the sake of the people of Taiping Village to have a good year, the official is willing to cut down on food and clothing." Zhou Yunlong sighed beside him.

In fact, this batch of masonry Zhou Yunlong plans to repair the city wall, the county city wall has long been repaired, but the money of the household department has not been repaired and stagnated, the day before yesterday, the household department allocated a total of more than 1,200 yuan, this money includes the food and accommodation of the apportionment of labor, and also includes the money for masonry and wood.

But seeing Yun Shu's batch of bricks only cost one hundred and forty yuan, which greatly reduced the cost of repairing the city wall, and the city wall can be made stronger without wood, so that the appeasement of the people who came to inspect the city defense assessment must be excellent, for the officials to survey and grind is the most painful thing, if you want to be promoted, you must have political achievements.

"Thank you, if you can exempt my Taiping Village from forced labor next year, my village is willing to contribute cement for the construction of the city wall free of charge." Yun Shu whispered next to Zhou Yunlong.

"Oh? I wonder how this cement helped to build the city wall? Zhou Yunlong also asked in a low voice.

"Adults will know it at a glance." After Yun Shu finished speaking, he nodded to Wang Baozheng, Wang Baozheng and Liu Laohan walked to the open space next to them, adding gypsum and pine gum to the calcined cement clinker from the brick kiln and mixing it with water to make cement. The two of them did not blush, and they were out of breath, and the remaining water in the bucket washed away the cement left in their hands.

Zhou Yunlong and Master Zhao next to him were already completely stupid, is this a trick? A layer of greasy bricks is repeatedly superimposed, just like building blocks, and one side is more than two meters high. Master Zhao asked uneasily, "Is this wall strong?" ”

Wang Baozheng next to him replied: "Not yet, it will take at least two hours." Five hours were fully fruitful. ”

Zhou Yunlong stared at the wall for a long time and said: "I want to see the ready-made, if it is really as strong as you say, I can exempt you from 3 years of forced labor." Yun Shu naturally didn't know anything about the concept of not having to be forced into labor for three years, but he could feel that Wang Baozheng next to him and the villagers who followed him trembled in unison.

Wang Baozheng shouted excitedly: "Come with me, big man, we have a cottage made of cement, you can send someone to try it!" ”

The big guy came to the front of a small room, which had a roof but was not completely sealed, and there was no door, but at first glance it was a room made of masonry and concrete.

Yun Shu grinned silently, this Wang Baozheng was really anxious, and actually brought a large group of people to the side of the public toilet that Yun Shu built for everyone.

Zhou Yunlong looked at the hut and felt strange, but he didn't ask much, waved his hand and said to the poor person next to him: "Hit me, there is a reward for collapsing this wall, and there is a reward!" The two messengers looked at the wall, and without saying a word, they reported from the side that a tree's trunk was the thickness of a person, and hit the position in the middle of the wall, only to hear a clang, the wall did not move, and the two poor people with big shoulders and round waists fell to the ground in unison under the strong recoil.

Looking at the location where they collided, Yun Shu smiled silently, in Master Zhao's eyes, Yun Shu's appearance was full of pride, and in Zhou Yunlong's eyes, this was a confident performance.

In fact, Yun Shu laughed at the point that the two poor people were looking for, but they didn't know that the other side of the wall was a vertical wall, just behind the impact point, the two walls formed a T-shape, Yun Shu's inertial thinking made him subconsciously separate the wall in the toilet, watching the poor people hit the wall over and over again, Yun Shu thought to himself, you don't necessarily collapse the wall even if you hit it to death.

The two messengers hit the wall for half an hour, except for dropping some lime on the surface, and still didn't move, and next week Yunlong finally affirmed the strength of the wall and said: "This kind of cement official needs forty cars a year, how about the nephew of Yun Xian, the nephew of Ping'an Village." ”

"Master Zhou, Mingjian!" Yun Shu was overjoyed, cement manufacturing is simple, materials are abundant, not to mention forty is two hundred cars. The villagers are even more excited, they can do anything if they can be exempted from forced labor, Yan Song's forced labor is a free forced labor without wages, the food is not good and the living is simple, and they have to do heavy physical work every day, and the slightest slack is a punch and kick, and the sturdy man has become skinny after serving the forced labor, not to mention the peasants who have been fighting with the sky for many years and are not strong.

"Your Excellency, there is another thing I would like to ask your Excellency to show me." Yun Shu said.

"There are really a lot of things about Lord Yun!" Master Zhao said in a weird manner beside him.

"When do I have the right to interject when I talk to your family?" Yun Shu said without looking back. "You!" Master Zhao is angry, Yun Shu is telling the truth, he is the undertaker of the eighth grade, but he is the master of the unofficial and unqualified master.

"Yun Xian's nephew doesn't have to worry about him, even if anything comes." Zhou Yunlong's attitude was obviously biased towards Yun Shu.

"My lord, my Ping'an Village is located at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, and the fields are scarce, can you let me wait to open up the wasteland?" Yun Shu said that Zhou Yunlong was blinded in one sentence, and he cultivated the land? You yourself said how to open up the wasteland and cultivate the fields under the Wangwu Mountain?

"Yun Xian's nephew doesn't want to laugh, how can this Ping'an Village be surrounded by mountains on three sides? Could it be that the virtuous nephew plans to open up the wasteland in the mountains? In the end, it was a young man or a little impetuous, Zhou Yunlong said in his heart.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Yun Shu didn't expect Zhou Yunlong to guess his idea of building terraces on the mountain, it seems that he really can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Looking at Yun Shu's admiring eyes, Zhou Yunlong whispered, "Could it be that the virtuous nephew really plans to open up wasteland and cultivate fields in the mountains?" ”

"That's right! Xia Guan observed that the northern slope of the mountain is suitable for cultivating terraced fields, and that there must be water sources in the dense forests on the mountains, and rice can be grown by using dikes to conserve water sources. Yun Shu said confidently that because he had traveled to the Honghe Hani Terraces in Gaoshan Mountain, he was confident in building terraces in Taiping Village.

Yun Shu thought that Zhou Yunlong had known for a long time, because there were terraces in the Qin and Han dynasties. Rice cultivation requires large ponds, while China's southeastern provinces have more hilly terrain than plains suitable for rice cultivation. In order to solve the food problem, the farmers who migrated here built terraces and used dikes to conserve water, making it possible to grow rice on a large scale in the hilly area, thus solving the local food problem.
