Chapter 272: Embankment
The veterinarian's business came to an end, and a huge new project began on the farm, building a fence.
When the fourth uncle heard this order, he was dumbfounded, you must know that Du Jun's prosperous farm is only more than a mile away from the north gate of Anxian County, in addition to the first few houses, in the past six months, a lot of new houses have been built one after another, and the area has also been the first fifty acres, becoming about sixty acres.
In this era, as long as the house is not built in the city, the homestead is quite cheap, and nowadays the people are used to gathering the family together, so there is often a yard in the front, and there is a self-reserved land in the back, plus a few houses, it can be regarded as a complete home, and the area can be imagined how big it will be.
The fourth uncle does not occupy the area of the farm pasture, and most of the homesteads replaced by the houses built later are such people, after several twists and turns, unconsciously there is the current scale, Du Jun after listening to the report of the fourth uncle, rubbed his head, thought about it, or insisted on the original intention, and erected the wall.
"Boss, but you're in trouble?"
After following Du Jun for more than half a year, he is no longer the original little steward, and his knowledge and vision have also increased a lot, and the sudden proposal to build a wall is definitely not the whim of the owner, there must be a demon when things go wrong, looking at Du Jun's embarrassed appearance, an ominous premonition arises spontaneously.
Since Du Jun has made up his mind, he naturally will not hide it, and said solemnly: "Second Master Yu handed me a message, there is a big drought in the north this year, and it is very likely that a large number of displaced people will move to the south. ”
Du Jun only said half of the words, the fourth uncle instantly understood, and his heart couldn't help but chuckle, as a native of Anxian County in his forties, he had seen the tragic situation of the displaced people in the disaster years, and he had also seen the county government have made a difference in the resettlement of the displaced people, causing a large number of displaced people to turn into mobs, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and the losses caused by them are far from being recoverable in a few years.
Thinking back to the prosperous farm where he is, except for a few houses, at a glance, if the homeless people are safe, it is fine, once there is a riot, the consequences are unimaginable, the fourth uncle thought of this, he couldn't help but shiver, stood up and hugged his fists solemnly promised, "Owner, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible, and strive to erect the wall before the autumn harvest." ”
The proprietor waved his hand to signal him to sit down and speak, "Not only the wall, but also a heavy responsibility, let Master Huang train all the existing men on the farm, set up a sentry on the wall, and patrol day and night, just in case." ”
"This .....", the fourth uncle frowned and stared at Du Jun, "Isn't this a bit too much, isn't there still a government soldier?" ”
"It's not an exaggeration at all", Du Jun said categorically, "The role of the government soldiers is to protect Anxian, it is difficult to take care of the outside of the city, and there are too many homeless people, in order to ensure the safety of Anxian County, the city gate will definitely be closed, and the one who faces the homeless people is the closest to the city gate, so it is better to spend more silver taels in the early stage, but also to ensure the personal safety of all the people on our farm." ”
Seeing that the fourth uncle was still a little dazed, Du Jun continued in an accentuated tone: "Don't think I'm alarmist, or exaggerated, the farm seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the foundation is still shallow, like walking on thin ice, and those accumulated century-old families are far away, they not only have the help of the government soldiers, but also many clansmen can rely on, and our reliance can only rely on ourselves, only if the wall does not fall, can there be a glimmer of life, otherwise, once there is a riot of displaced people, we will regret it too late." ”
"Yes, the owner, the subordinates want to be left, Xie Dongjia reminds", was broken by Du Jun's words, the fourth uncle was ashamed, blushed, stood up and apologized, and at the same time secretly determined to speed up the completion of the owner's entrustment.
Du Jun didn't let the fourth uncle sit down this time, it's normal for his subordinates to have their own ideas, but they can't disobey the order, which Du Jun is not allowed, he took a sip of the teacup, and waited for the tea to enter his throat and into the abdomen, before he lowered his voice again and said: "You go back this time, contact Dean Zhou of the nursery school, if things change, you can enter the farm, and we will shelter you, and Zhao Dazhuang will not need to resist, or that sentence, people are the most important, the money is gone, we can earn it again, and our lives are gone, but there is really nothing, in the end, Find a hidden place to dig a cellar and store grain and people, this is the last hole card. ”
Fourth Uncle Tong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and at the same time, he was also grateful that he had found a kind-hearted owner, and bowed his head and promised again that he would complete the owner's arrangement as soon as possible, and then turned around and left.
During this period, there was only one slave waiting in the Ming Hall, and after sending the fourth uncle away, he looked at Du Jun who was still sitting in the Ming Hall, and cautiously went over, "Miss, do you say that those homeless people will definitely come?" ”
Du Jun smiled faintly, looked at the blue sky outside the door, and said softly: "I don't want to have it either, but it is still necessary to make an embankment in advance." ”
The plan of the fence is not difficult to do, just measure the length and calculate the materials and labor.
In the afternoon of the next day, the fourth uncle came to the door again with the freshly baked wall design, a mixed structure of blue bricks and mud embryos, two meters high, and the sentry position was designed as six wooden pavilions, which protruded out with a length and width of three meters each, distributed in the four corners of the rectangular wall and the front and rear doors.
Seeing this plan, Du Jun thought for a moment, and proposed to dig a trench two meters deep in front of the wall, first, the excavated soil can be used to make mud embryos, saving time and effort, and second, the trench becomes a trap, the bottom is covered with sharpened bamboo, the tip is pointed upward, and the trap is covered with camouflage.
"This ...... Isn't it too ruthless? There is a wound to the yin", Fourth Uncle Tong couldn't help but gasp when he thought of the scene of flesh and blood, frowned, and said disapprovingly.
Is there a wound?
Fourth uncle, you are really too kind.
She has not experienced the end times, and she does not believe that human nature will be distorted into that way in the face of disaster, a bite of bread can make the once intimate husband and wife turn against each other, draw swords against each other, no other, just to live, only to live can there be hope.
In the same way, a homeless person with red eyes may be begging hungry the day before, and no one can say what it will become in the next day.
She has always been afraid to figure out human nature with the greatest malice, because she doesn't want to gamble, and she can't afford to gamble, if she wins, she will waste some silver taels at most, and if she loses, she will never recover, and any person close to her is hurt, which is not what she wants to see.
Whether she is cold-blooded or short-blooded, she cares more about her own family than the life and death of a group of strangers.
Thinking of this, Du Jun's eyes crossed a trace of cruelty, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he pouted with a taste of killing with unknown meaning, and said word by word: "What the fourth uncle said is bad, as the saying goes, people don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful, the trap is just to prevent it, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt, or lose their lives, whether it is a farm or a possible homeless, but if someone really takes the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and has malicious intentions, I will not tolerate it, let them do whatever they want, come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair, The woman's kindness and soft-heartedness can only harm others and herself, I hope the fourth uncle will keep it in mind. ”
"Yes, the owner", Fourth Uncle Tong hurriedly stood up and bowed and said yes, lowered his eyebrows, and once again saw Du Jun's decisive ruthlessness, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Next, the two exchanged some opinions on the possible problems of the homeless, and Uncle Tong said goodbye and left.
With the completion of the purchase of green bricks and bamboo, Xingwang Farm once again focused the attention of the people of Anxian County.
Avoid noon, work for five hours a day, mung bean soup tube enough, three meals, fifteen a day, go with the knot, such preferential conditions as soon as the launch, the reputation of the prosperous farm is good, a few days, the men and women who signed up lined up in front of the farm gate.
And the people sent to Mingyuan to do things are also actively preparing to pack up for a long trip, and the rest of the people, under the leadership of several ministers, still do things in an orderly manner according to the rules, and they are not panicked by building a wall.
In the next few days, the grain purchased in advance was successively transported to Song Jiang's rented house, in order to avoid criticism, during the whole process, Du Jun and Song Jiang did not come forward, but invited a new face from other places to operate the matter.
After the food was in place, Du Jun secretly changed into men's clothes, used the space to pasture, stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, and received the food into the space for preservation, even if someone looked at it, he could only see bags of forage, after all, the hoarding of food is not very interesting at present, but it is difficult to say after the crazy influx of homeless people.
It's always a good idea to be cautious. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Ancient Life of the Last Woman" and read it for free for the first time.
