[Brothers~ Walk by, smash your recommended tickets~~ Thank you for the snow drift! 】

Huaguo Village seems to have ushered in the first opportunity since Pangu opened the world, and this opportunity is a great thing that these rural men dare to believe after Fang Baozheng's family came to confirm it one by one.

These 30 Wen is just three Guangxu when ten copper coins, for the rich family is not eye-catching small money, but for the farmers who are in the spring famine season and have no grain in stock, this can mean two catties of sorghum rice, or two and a half catties of miscellaneous grains, mixed with the first bran, two catties of sorghum rice is enough for a family of six to eat beautifully for two days, of course, this is sorghum gruel.

What surprised the people in the village even more was that after the first day of the steward's order, he directly sent a sorghum Zhuangzi, which made these farmers excited one by one.

Obviously, the surprise brought by this Master Lu is far more than that, a little later, Fang Baozheng actually came to say that there was no work arranged today, Master Lu said, taking advantage of this season to collectively dredge the aqueduct in the village, this is really a bizarre thing, so that the laborers of each family are surprised, and take the salary to dredge the waterway for their fields, this kind of thing is also ......

In fact, not to mention Fang Baozheng, even Wang Daosheng with this gang of laborers is also inexplicable, they are also from the village, this work of dredging the diversion canal has never been done by the landlord's family to the tenant farmers, and the official has never encountered the truth that the official paid for the repair of the farmer's house...... However, Lu Hong's clear words of "no need to discuss, say what to do", although it has not been a long time for them, has long been unforgettable.

Within one day, the aqueduct that runs through the sorghum field at the entrance of the village from the river outside the village has been repaired by one-third, and what makes these people even more excited is that on that day, Fang Baozheng respectfully accompanied a young man in a robe to inspect the aqueduct back and forth from beginning to end.

"Look...... See...... That's Master Lu from the county seat......"

"With such a young appearance, it must be Wenqu Xing!"

"I heard from the official in the yamen that this Master Lu is a big man who has been to Europa...... The county magistrate came politely when he saw it......"

"What is Europa......

Lu Hong didn't have the heart to pay attention to the evaluation of the laborers, he patrolled back and forth, naturally hoping to use the evaluation system to select some suitable and excellent laborers, on the whole, these laborers in Huaguo Village were obviously very diligent, however, he also quickly found some problems, in the afternoon, although at noon had provided enough food to eat, but some of the work efficiency decreased significantly!

As a result, the length of the aqueduct repaired throughout the afternoon was significantly lower than expected, and after he quietly asked Fang Baozheng, it turned out that the aqueduct for the rented land of these laborers had been completed, so their willingness to continue to maintain high-intensity labor was naturally greatly reduced, but on the whole, the laborers who had such ideas accounted for only about half.

After three consecutive days of canal repair work in Huaguo Village, according to the list listed by Lu Hong, the labor currently provided by Huaguo Village is divided into two groups, and among these two groups, those who are recognized as having a good working attitude receive an increase of 5 yuan per day, while others are reduced by 5 yuan of salary.

This is naturally not Lu Hong's harshness, this Huaguo Village is likely to be his first sphere of influence, this village may be responsible for the important task of sending out the Mengshan diamond mine in the future, although there is only a small village now, but his authority must be absolutely strengthened through this fundraising campaign covering the whole village.

Seeing the current situation of Huaguo Village, although Lu Hong cannot have the ability to change the rural pattern of this era, it is not too difficult to change the situation of Huaguo Village, where hundreds of villagers cannot survive, and it is not too difficult to change the situation that many villages and towns in Huaguo Village cannot survive.

The official road to Fei County just passes through more than a mile to the west of Huaguo Village, and a dirt road has been built in the village that can pass through the carriage, and a mile to the east, the Wenshui tributary that originates from Mengshan flows through the village, Qi Kaiyuan took people to survey, unless it is a drought climate, under normal circumstances, there is no problem with this tributary boat, which can solve the big problem of transportation.

Lu Hong's with a large number of people quickly transferred to Huaguo Village's two not too big clay mines, Qilu red granite mining area, these two mining areas are easy to be found by villagers who are familiar with the local terrain, and then, he left two groups of local farmers to carry out the temporary construction of the mine, mainly the clay kiln for firing clay and the warehouse of the other party's processed products, using the local rich forestry resources, after having enough manpower, what is needed is just time.

And he climbed into the depths of Mengshan under the guidance of his guide......

Lu Hong entered the mountain on January 25, and in February, there was no news of Lu Hong for a while, and Mengyin County made Wu Daxuan also a little unable to sit still, and sent Qian Fat to the inn to ask, just Chen Xiaoyu brought back the news from Huaguo Village, and needed to transport a batch of grain, tools and iron parts into the mountain, and at the same time, Lu Hong also sent back the news, so that the Mengyin Machinery Society could rush to work as soon as possible The crusher and granite cutting abrasives that had already been out of the pattern.

This news made Wu Xianling feel at ease for the time being, and his machine club obviously had a new income, and he immediately asked Chang Sui to go to take care of this property with Li Blacksmith and Liu Carpenter, thinking that he had received the benefits of Pan Xiancheng and Chen Zhushu, and also let people notify these two that they could prepare silver!

After another 12 days, this old man Lu finally appeared in Mengyin County with a tired face, and his scholar's uniform was almost an old rag after tossing for more than half a month, and he didn't know what it was...... However, the report handed over to Wu Daxuan was real news.

Along the tributaries of Wenshui, a number of small ore veins were found in Triangle Mouth, Xiaodingzi, Xiling, and Wangjialing, including a small coal mine, two clay, two limestone, and a Qilu red granite, and he has carried out trial production in the most convenient places for mining, and the machine transported from the county is running well!

Wu Daxuan was elated, but he fulfilled his previous promise, the Mengyin Wang family was involved in many cases such as collusion with bandits, fish and meat villagers, etc., after the Yamen investigation, the evidence was conclusive, among which the felony Wang Si was sentenced to death, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded, and the Wang family's property was all fined and confiscated by this case, and the rest of the people went to Gansu for 500 miles.

The sentence of this case was really beyond Lu Hong's expectations, he didn't expect that the originally powerful Mengyin Wang family would be implicated because of Wang Si's case, but this matter is a good thing for him, at least the hidden danger is completely gone...... And Wu County's order was even more generous, and after agreeing with Pan Xiancheng and Chen Zhushu, an industry confiscated by the Wang family turned out to be Lu Hong's reward.

For this windfall, Lu Hong was naturally full of response, and took a good look at Wu County's fart, and put forward a small request, he wanted to operate a clay mine near Huaguo Village, of course, this is also indispensable to the benefits of Wu County's order, because there are a lot of minerals explored this time, Wu Daxuan is naturally full of mouths.

Now he can figure out the situation, the more the industry in Mengyin, the more ways he Wu Daxuan's silver will come, the coal mine in Wennan, although the first month is only a trial production, Qian Yiduo has already sent a dividend of 300 taels of silver, according to this trend, his dream of benefiting Mengyin for the official and the dream of making himself rich, it seems that he is quite confident in realizing it, and before sending Lu Hong out, Wu Xian Ling told two more sentences to prepare for the industry of Pan County Cheng and Chen Zhushu as soon as possible.

A little later, Pan County Cheng, Chen Zhushu almost couldn't wait to visit, in the Xilai Inn and Lu Hong talked about the intention to operate these industries, with Wu County Order as an umbrella, Lu Hong was also unceremoniously talking about the price, and the Pan family, Chen family after a choice, respectively invested 300 taels and 250 taels to buy Lu Hong's hands of rock hydraulic cutting, grinding integrated processing machine and damping ore crusher, in addition, Lu Hong also obtained a share of each of the two industries, he was unusually calm to follow Wu County Order to put away the benefits.

Mengyin's industry has been operated for a short period of time, and it is basically established, as for the development of the industry in the future, he Lu Hong is too lazy to bother with this leisure, that is, Huaguo Village, he invested in the limestone industry and clay workshop of one hundred taels of silver, and he has already negotiated with Qian Yiduo to sell the products downstream, and they all follow the way of the coal yard to sell them downstream of Wenshui, in fact, it is just to release the smoke for the Mengshan diamond mine site, and more importantly, to include the important stronghold of Huaguo Village into his sphere of influence.

Early the next morning, Lu Hong went to find the fat man, he naturally wanted to receive the house that Wu County ordered as a reward, although it was not a big problem to live in the inn, but he didn't mind living in the deep mansion compound of this era, for him, who traveled through the crowd and was used to living in a high-rise pigeon cage in his previous life, this was a wonderful experience.

When he took Ye Yuanliang's brothers and sisters to follow Qian Fatzi to the mansion located in the west of the city, he was still shocked, there were more than 40 big houses in the whole house, according to Qian Fatzi's statement, this house is actually not big, and the old mansions of big families in Mengyin can have hundreds of rooms, and after turning around, Lu Hong immediately had an idea.
