Chapter 53 Construction Projects

Changhe Village is a busy scene, and countless people are busy on the east and west sides.

"Timber here, here"

"Where's the stone? Where is the stone? ”

"Something is misplaced, put it here, this is where it should be"

"You"

"Yes, that's you"

"Don't look around, don't hurry up and get what is under your feet"

A series of sounds sounded in the village, and countless timbers and stones were carried by everyone.

The foundations of the barracks and the blacksmith shop have been laid, and the huge trees have been erected, revealing the general structure in front of you.

Lu Zhi obeyed Jia Nian's instructions and used all his manpower to give priority to building a military camp and a blacksmith shop. So the progress of the two buildings is amazing.

The barracks occupy a very large area, with a training ground in the middle and rows of houses to the left, right and behind. It is estimated that there are no less than 50 rooms inside.

Each room can accommodate two people, which means that a barracks can accommodate a hundred people. In this way, the cost is very cost-effective.

Lu Zhi looked up at the sky, naked, and big drops of sweat ran across his face.

Reaching out and wiping the towel around his neck, the towel was soaked with sweat and looked wet.

At this time, there were footsteps, and Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing, Gu Enze and Sun Deqiu came over with food boxes.

Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu ran to Lu Zhi with a kettle.

"Uncle and uncle, it's time to eat"

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat"

"Everyone stop what they are doing and come to eat"

Lu Zhi shouted at the busy crowd at the top of his throat, then took the kettle in Tang Daniu's hand, picked up a wooden cup and drank it in a big gulp.

As the tea was drunk, large drops of sweat resurfaced and dripped down his forehead.

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and ran to Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing and others.

He took the food box from their hands, picked up his own meal, and ran to the side.

The fragrance of rice drifted along the wind, and Tang Daniu subconsciously touched his stomach and swallowed his saliva.

Lu Zhi happened to see Tang Da Niu touching his belly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Little doll, do you want to eat?" ”

"Come, uncle, share a little bit with you," Lu Zhi finished speaking, and went to get his own meal.

Tang Daniu's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly followed: "Really, really, is it really possible?" ”

"Big Bull" Tang Gaoming shouted in displeasure.

Tang Da Niu shrunk his neck, revealing a look of fear: "Father, father"

"Shame, shame, shame" Tang Jiabao took the opportunity to make a grimace at Tang Daniu.

Tang Yanqing looked at Tang Jiabao: "Don't be naughty"

"You are too strict with children" Lu Zhi said to Tang Yanqing and Tang Gaoming, looking at Da Niu and Jiabao, with a doting look.

In the past few days, he and his companions have gradually fallen in love with the village and developed some closeness to the children here.

Maybe it's because of their friendliness, or because there's a kind of homely warmth here, but this feeling has taken root in my heart.

"Da Niu is too rude," Tang Gaoming said to Lu Zhi with a face full of shame.

Lu Zhi shook his head: "We are all rough people, what is rude or not?"

"Rice is for eating, if they like me, I'll give them some," Lu said boldly.

A man standing behind Lu Zhi took the two chicken legs in his hand and naturally handed them to Tang Daniu and Tang Jiabao: "Take it, this is what my uncle invited you to eat."

"Is that okay?" Tang Da Niu and Tang Jiabao showed expectant eyes.

Looking at Da Niu and Jiabao's eyes, the people around him smiled at the same time: "Yes, why not?" ”

"These meals are paid for by your uncles and made by your parents, so your uncle can give them to you," the man said to Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu.

Hearing the reply, Tang Daniu subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, and turned his head to look at Tang Gaoming: "Is it okay for father?" ”

"Father, I want to eat too" Tang Jiabao looked at Tang Yanqing and asked him.

Looking at the two pitiful little faces, without waiting for Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing to speak, the man forced the chicken leg in his hand into the hands of the two children.

"Take it, it's from your uncle, you don't have to listen to your father," the man said to Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu.

The two didn't dare to eat, and hurriedly looked at Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing.

"Eat, but don't you forget what to say?" Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing laughed.

After receiving the reply, Tang Daniu and Tang Jiabao were overjoyed and shouted at the man: "Thank you, uncle"

Then he took the chicken thigh in his hand and gnawed it happily.

"Eat slowly, don't choke," Lu Zhi couldn't help but admonish.

Tang Jiabao nodded vigorously, and because he was busy, he replied vaguely: "En"

"After eating, you can go play, don't delay the uncles here," Tang Gaoming said to Jiabao and Da Niu.

Tang Da Niu swallowed the chicken in his mouth and replied to Tang Gaoming: "Okay"

"Jiabao, let's go to the river embankment to eat" Tang Daniu proposed to Tang Jiabao.

Tang Jiabao blinked his eyes and followed Tang Daniu to the Chaohu River embankment to the north.

Watching the two small figures gradually leave, everyone who was eating showed envious looks.

"Eat quickly, everyone eat, take a break after eating, and work overtime," Lu Zhi said loudly at the top of his voice.

Everyone hurriedly replied: "Haole"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a stronger aroma of rice.

Guo Dapang and Jia Nian, who were standing on the embankment, looked at Changhe Village below, squinting and enjoying the sunshine in the sky.

Lu Zhi hired dozens of people in Chao County to do heavy work, and hired some people in Changhe Village to do light work, so that the villagers had an additional source of income.

If you calculate this account carefully, although it paid a huge sum of 35 gold, it provided jobs due to the construction of four major buildings. The women and the elderly in the village have a considerable income, which is like earning a part of the money back from their hands.

One plus one minus, the cost is not too big.

What is money? It is worthless in your hands, and taking it out to revitalize Changhe Village is the most important thing to do. If every villager has a job, they can contribute to the development of the village. Then even if Changhe Village is small, it can also burst out with huge power.

The elderly, the weak, the women and children should not be a burden, but a great wealth.

"Economics" Guo Dapang looked at Changhe Village below and let out a sigh of emotion.

Then the conversation changed and asked Jia Nian: "Is this another form of cash-for-work?" ”

"No, they call it self-reliance" Jia Nian replied to Guo Dapang, a thick smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the smile on Jia Nian's face, Guo Da Fat pursed his lips, speechless for this kind of god fascination of economics enthusiasts.
