Chapter 1528 benefits the township

Wei Zhao: "Uncle Shushan, how will you cross the river in a few days?" The villagers had suffered enough, and I couldn't watch anyone get swept away by the river. ”

Lu Shushan: "I didn't say it, I'll go home and get the guy, and I will help the eldest young master build the bridge after fighting this old bone." ”

Wei Zhao: "Thank you, Uncle Shushan." When Lu Shushan got home, he took out the tools of the former stonemason, the old woman:

"Old man, what are you doing with those guys?" Lu Shushan: "Building the bridge, Young Master Wei is building the bridge with his family, I have to go over and help." ”

Old woman: "Old man, how old are you?" Is building bridges a job that you can do alone? You don't know who Wei Zhao is,

Who knows what heart he has in place? Lu Shushan: "Don't I still have apprentices?" Wei Shan, go to build a bridge with your father. Wei Shan: "It's coming!" ”

Lu Shushan had no son, and his only daughter married Wei Shan, who was Lu Shushan's son-in-law and his apprentice, the old woman:

"Wei Shan, look at your father." Wei Shan: "Got it. "The villagers all said that Young Master Wei Zhao was different from before, otherwise Lu Shushan would not have helped.

The old woman won't let the old man go, Lu Shushan took Wei Shan to the place where the bridge was repaired, Wei Zhao: "Uncle Shushan, do you think these stones can be used?" ”

Lu Shushan: "Stones are good materials, and stones must be chiseled out to build bridges, Wei Shan!" Get to work. ”

Wei Zhao: "Wei Biao! You guys give Uncle Shushan a hand, see that it may rain again, go home and get things to build a shed. ”

Wei Biao: "You guys go back with me to get wood and oil, it's going to rain soon." "Before it got dark, it started to rain non-stop.

Lu Shushan: "Young Master, you have done the villagers a great favor." "The water downstream is so deep that people don't dare to wade through it.

Passing on the temporary wooden bridge built by Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao: "Wei Biao! Find a way to strengthen the wooden bridge, and don't let the flood wash it down. ”

The rain was so heavy that Wei Biao was soaking wet: "Young Master, it looks like I can't go home tonight." Wei Zhao handed the wine jug to Wei Biao:

"Drink a few sips to warm up, and the hot soup will be ready in a while." Lu Shushan can see that Wei Zhao really wants to build a bridge.

The heavy rain didn't stop until the second half of the night, and Wei Zhao got up before dawn: "Biaozi! When the rain stopped, I got up and went to work. Wei Biao:

"Big young master! The hot porridge is ready, so take a sip of the hot porridge! Lu Shushan took Wei Shan to repair the stones, and the villagers spontaneously came to help.

Lu Shushan's apprentices from other villages also rushed over, Lu Shushan: "If you come, let's do it!" The stone is chiseled out first. Wei Zhao:

"Wei Fu, you are responsible for buying vegetables and cooking, and we have to repair the bridge before winter comes." Wei Fu: "Big young master! I promise to make sure you have a hot soup and a hot meal. ”

Lu Shushan became the commander-in-chief of the bridge, and all those who had been stonemasons listened to Lu Shushan's arrangement to repair stones and wash stones, and worked for more than 20 days in vain.

Lu Shushan: "Big young master! The piers are ready to be lifted. Wei Zhao: "Uncle Shushan, building a bridge is a hundred-year plan, and you are the master who has the final say." ”

The bridge piers on both sides Lu Shushan personally supervised the construction of the building, and the sand and ash were lime mixed with stone powder as a binder, Wei Zhao: "Uncle Shushan, the wooden bridge support is not there yet?" ”

The water flow under the bridge is rapid, and there must be support to erect the stone bridge, Lu Shushan: "It must be reinforced, Weishan, strengthen the wooden bridge." ”

The materials were all shipped, Wei Shan took a few people to reinforce the arch support of the wooden bridge, and the arched stones were all processed.

Lu Shushan personally built the arched bridge deck, and the bridge deck was built in a month, and the villagers who came and went had already passed through the bridge deck.

Wei Zhao: "Wei Biao! Let everyone crossing the bridge be careful. "The water surface here is not wide, and an arch is made into a small stone bridge, Lushu Mountain:

"Young Master, the wooden bridge support can't be dismantled yet, fill in the soil and repair the road, Wei Shan! Machining of bridge railings. ”

After several rains in a row, the flood on the mountain has not stopped, and everyone who passes by the stone bridge gives Wei Zhao a thumbs up,

After paving the bridge deck and leveling the road surface, the stone bridge was basically completed, and Wei Zhao asked people to kill pigs and sheep, and put flowing water seats in Weijiazhuang.

The villagers from all over the country have come to help, everyone who comes is a guest, and everyone eats every day, Wei Biao:

"Big young master! It has cost a lot of silver to build the stone bridge, and this flowing water mat is too expensive. Wei Zhao whispered to Wei Biao: "Miss He sent a lot of silver. ”

Yun Dou was in the capital to observe the movements of Xi Shuai Demon Dao, he knew about the construction of the bridge in Wei Jiazhuang, and Dou Zhuanxing transferred a lot of silver to Wei Zhao.

Although Wei Zhao is a squire, he will not have much silver at home, and there are many corrupt officials in the capital, so Yundou will find a corrupt official by the way.

Wei Biao: "No wonder the eldest young master is so refreshing." Wei Zhao: "The rent reduction has already made the Wei family earn a lot less, if it weren't for Miss He sending silver,

If the stone bridge can be built, there will be no money to build the road. Wei Biao: "Yes! The villagers all earn money by their crafts, and their wages cannot be missing. ”

Wei Zhao: "Anyone who goes to work on the stone bridge will be paid to them when the stone bridge is completed." Wei Biao:

"Young Master, for the benefit of the township, your reputation as a great good person is already outside." Wei Zhao: "Wei Zhao has done a lot of bad things before, let's make up for it slowly." ”

The railings of the bridge have been installed in winter, and the villagers who enter and exit the mountains no longer have to wade across the river.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no farm work in winter and wanted to find someone to repair the road, Wei Zhao asked Lu Shushan to gather all the craftsmen who repaired the bridge, and Lu Shushan asked Wei Shan to shout one by one.

The villagers gathered at Lu Shushan's house, and seeing that Wei Zhao was also here, everyone who came over said hello to Wei Zhao: "The eldest young master is also here!" ”

Wei Zhao: "Yes! We'll talk about it when they're all there. The villagers came one after another, Lu Shushan: "Everyone is here." ”

The courtyard was full of people, and Wei Zhao stood up: "Folks! There is no farm work in winter, and I want everyone to level the road.

Do you think it is feasible to pay wages on a daily basis? Lu Shushan: "Young Master, this is a good thing for the benefit of future generations, you have to do it without paying!" ”

Old Lady Lu: "Big young master! The bridge was also built for the village, and the old man was embarrassed to ask for wages, and he couldn't ask for the money of the eldest young master anymore to build the road. ”

Wei Zhao: "Auntie, you have to pay for your work, and the salary is paid every day, because the thread is too long, I don't care about eating." ”

Lu Shushan: "No problem, everyone brings their own food when they go to work every morning, make do with a meal at noon, and go back to their respective homes in the evening." Wei Zhao:

"Wei Biao! The people of Wei Mansion also prepared dry food for them, and we went to work together to repair the road at the beginning of spring. ”

The farmer is not afraid of work, and every day when he returns to the village after work, Wei Zhao asks Wei Fu to settle the wages, and they are very happy to go home with the money.

From going out in the morning to coming back after dark, Lu Shushan worked together at such an age, and none of the villagers were lazy.

The road was paved before entering the wax moon, the villagers received their wages and prepared for the winter, and every household went to the town to buy New Year's goods, which was happier than in previous years.

Wei Zhao asked Wei Biao to promote winter fire prevention, but no one took it seriously at first, and one night Yang Laohan's house in the east of the village caught fire.

People from a village went over to help put out the fire, and Lu Shushan was furious: "Young Master Wei talks about winter fire prevention every day, but you just don't listen, and now you are suffering." ”

Yang Laohan cried very sadly, the villagers came in time, the roof of the house burned out, and all the things in the house were burned out.

Wei Biao: "Uncle Yang, it's useless to cry, move to the Wei Mansion Gatehouse for the time being, and then move back after the house is repaired." ”

Wei Mansion is a big manor, how dare Yang Laohan move there to live? Lu Shushan: "Let's move to my house first, you can't always trouble the young master." ”

Wei Zhao paid for the materials, Lu Shushan led people to repair the house, and the villagers pooled money to buy things for Yang Laohan's house.

From that day on, the village sent people to watch, and every night someone knocked on the gong and shouted: "The weather is dry and dry!" Watch out for the candles! ”
