Chapter 83 Granary

After following Guo Jia out of the three streets of Taishoufu, he came to a depressed street, where there were few pedestrians and vendors, and there was an indescribable loneliness.

After walking for a while, they came to the dilapidated granary, where the wooden door was slanted, the inner walls were mottled, the roof became a bird's nest, and an old man sat on the threshold and teased a little boy.

The old pawn looked up and found Guo Jia and a few people, pushed the boy away and got up, saluted Guo Jia, and said seriously: "I've seen Lord Guo." ”

"Okay Lao Zhou, don't pretend with me, I don't know you yet." Guo Jia said uninhibitedly. "This is our Taishou Lord, you don't want to see the courtesy soon."

Lao Zhou stretched out his head slightly, glanced at Wang Jun, and immediately bowed his hand and bowed: "Lord." ”

The little boy on the side watched Lao Zhou's movements, and did the same, and bowed in a milky voice: "My lord." ”

Wang Jun laughed, picked up the little boy, and asked, "How old is the child?" What is your name? ”

The little boy snuggled in Wang Jun's arms without fear, but looked happy and giggled.

Lao Zhou hurriedly replied: "My lord, this is my grandson, his nickname is Xiaoshi, his name has not yet been taken, and he is three years old this year." ”

Wang Jun touched Xiao Shi's face and smiled at Lao Zhou: "If you don't mind, how about I named him?" ”

Lao Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this, in his opinion, every big official is talented, not to mention that Wang Jun still has Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and other strategists, and said happily: "Please also ask the lord to give him a name." ”

Wang Jun pondered for a moment, and a little inspiration appeared, and he realized that the child in his arms was the future pioneer general, and said: "Zhou Wu, it's called Zhou Wu." ”

Lao Zhou was overjoyed and bowed down again: "Thank you Lord for the name." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xi Zhicai hurriedly ran over with a sack of grain, and with a bang, the grain was still on the ground, panting slightly, and said, "The grain has just been brought, what should the lord do?" ”

Wang Jun looked at the abandoned granary behind him, Nunu, and said, "I'm going to demolish this place and put the granary here, what do you think?" ”

Xi Zhicai looked at the location of the granary, nodded and said, "The granary here has been abandoned, but it occupies a huge area, so it's completely okay." ”

Lao Zhou was shocked when he heard this, he has guarded the granary here for more than 20 years, it can be said that his life has been spent here, if there is still a place for him to be demolished here, he asked bitterly: "Can the lord not demolish here?" His subordinates have been in this granary for more than 20 years, and their sons and grandsons were born and raised here. ”

Lao Zhou knew that since Wang Jun chose to demolish and rebuild here, it was useless to say more, but there was a trace of expectation in his heart.

Wang Jun knew that this was Lao Zhou's heart, but he couldn't choose another place, the first place belonged to the government, and the second place was quite close to the Taishou Mansion, even if there was any accident, he could also arrange manpower rescue, and said: "Lao Zhou can't do it for two years with your body and bones, you think this is good, I promise you to wait for the granary here to be rebuilt, and leave you here as a gatehouse." ”

Lao Zhou's face was complicated, but he also knew that this was the best result, and sighed: "Everything is under the orders of the lord." ”

Wang Jun nodded, it was time to work for Lao Zhou's heart disease, and said, "Dian Wei passed on craftsmen and laborers to come and dismantle the granary. ”

"No." Dian Wei answered, and asked his guards to go and call someone.

A quarter of an hour later, ten craftsmen with sledgehammers, hammers, saws, etc., came, and after a while, more than a hundred people came, and everyone bowed together and said, "Meet Taishou." ”

"Master Cai, you're here too." Wang Jun noticed an old farmer who looked like he had been working as a coolie for decades, with rough and dark skin, dressed in plain linen, with a small hammer in his left hand and a drill in his right hand.

Master Cai showed a sincere smile, bowed his body slightly, and said: "It's not that I heard the summons of the lord, so I brought these apprentices and grandchildren over to see if there is anything I need to do." ”

"It's just that you need to demolish a granary, but since you're here, help me see how long it will take to dismantle it." Wang Jun turned and pointed to the granary.

Master Cai came over and looked at the granary, calculated silently in his heart, and said: "The lord dismantles the granary with so many of us, and it can be completed in one or two days, but it is a little troublesome to clean up the garbage after the demolition." ”

Wang Jun touched his chin, raised his head slightly and thought about it, and asked: "Then I'll leave it to you here, but I have another request, that is, to build two small camps here, the number of people is not large, 100 people are enough." ”

Hearing this, Master Cai walked to the corner of the wall and picked up a brick, walked to Wang Jun's side, and said, "My lord, if the granary is made of these bricks, I can directly use the materials used to build the granary to rebuild the camp." ”

Lao Zhou glanced at the bricks in Master Cai's hand, recalled them in his mind, and said excitedly: "Lord, the bricks in the hands of Master Craftsman are the materials used to build the granary, and Lao Yu just remembered it." ”

Wang Jun turned his head to look at Master Cai, Master Cai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "The lord demolished the granary, and it takes half a month to build the camp, and if you need to rebuild a granary, it will take at least three months, and this is still the lord to send me more manpower." ”

"You don't need to build a granary, as long as you have a temporary camp, and I will give you three times more manpower, how long will it take you to do all this?" Wang Jun asked solemnly.

Cai Dajiang smiled bitterly: "It's not that there are too many people, in fact, it is easy to mess up when there are too many people, the lord can send the same number of people, and then start work together day and night, as long as 10." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." After finishing speaking, Wang Jun turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered: "Lao Cai, you write down that the wall of the granary should be increased to the height of five people." ”

Although he didn't understand Wang Jun's intentions, Master Cai understood that as long as he listened to Wang Jun's orders, he said, "My subordinates know." ”

........

10 days later, Wang Jun and others came to the granary again, at this moment in front of several people is a tall wall, there is a guard tower at the head of the four walls, there are 6 horses in front of the door, the gate is tightly blocked, the gate can accommodate two carriages in parallel.

When I entered the gate, I saw an empty open space, the ground had been filled, and there were two simple camps on the left and right in the middle, and the camps were built with wooden houses against the walls, and there were wooden poles outside to form a fence.

As soon as Master Cai saw Wang Jun coming, he explained a few words to his apprentice, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Lord, are you still satisfied here?" ”

"Lao Cai has worked hard, I am very satisfied here." Wang Jun nodded with satisfaction.

Master Cai's voice changed, and he said a little embarrassedly: "It's good that the lord is satisfied, but the lord has already sorted it out here, so it's better to hand over the construction of the granary to his subordinates, you think it's good to be the lord." ”

As he spoke, Master Cai looked at Wang Jun with blank eyes, like a child who wanted candy.

Xi Zhicai pulled Master Cai over, lowered his voice, and said, "Old Cai, the lord has his own plans, so don't worry about it." ”

Wang Jun took a step forward, yelled at everyone, and said, "Except for Xi Zhicai and a few people, everyone else will withdraw and return to the original place, and this place will be taken over by the official guards." ”

At the sound of an order, more than 30 guards rushed in and drove all the craftsmen and men away.

Dian Wei turned around and walked in front of Master Cai, made a gesture of please to Master Cai, and said, "Master Cai, please!" ”

Cai Dajiang was a little depressed when he heard this, and turned around and prepared to leave the granary.

Wang Jun noticed Master Cai's back, thought for a while, and said, "Master Cai can stay." ”

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Wang Jun's right palm opened, and a palm-sized granary with a conical shape on the top and a square on the bottom appeared in the palm of his hand.

Wang Jun then gently threw it into the open space in front of him, only to see that the granary became longer in the wind, and soon the entire open space was filled.

Mysterious runes immediately appeared on the roof of the granary, swirling around the granary according to a certain pattern, and finally shone slightly and seeped into the wall.

Wang Jun picked up the sack on the ground and put it on the left side of the granary door, without looking closely, he turned around and walked out, and smiled at a few people: "Originally, I wanted to take a closer look at the granary now, but after thinking about it, it is better to leave it until the first production." ”

Several people thought for a moment that this was indeed the case, nodded and said, "Just do what the lord says." ”
