When Li Yuanjing and the others returned to Quanzi Village, it was already the next morning.

Because the heavy snow has not stopped at this time, it is already a bit of a 'heavy snow covering the mountain'.

This one comes.

Not only is the traffic jammed, no one will come to Quanzi Village anymore, but the people of Quanzi Village will not go out on such a day.

This gave Li Yuanjing and the people who urgently needed to deal with the follow-up more time and space.

Li Yuanjing was not stingy.

All the people who followed him on this trip were each rewarded with a tael of silver, and Liu Gang was no exception.

And Liu Gang was even more impressed by Li Yuanjing at this time.

Also understood.

He couldn't do his work in Lucun Town, so he simply put forward to Li Yuanjing the idea that he wanted to sell himself to Li Yuanjing as a slave.

But Li Yuanjing refused his request to sell himself into slavery.

Forthwith.

I don't know what Li Yuanjing said to Liu Gang, Liu Gang then lifted his spirits, and after kowtowing to Li Yuanjing desperately, he left excitedly.

…

There are old village chiefs, Zhang Kun, Zhao Zengjin and others who continue to sing red faces and greet the situation, especially the three unlucky people who died.

Li Yuanjing returned home unhurriedly at this time.

He just got the news.

Yesterday morning, Wang Youdao rushed over and stayed in the temporary dormitory of Li Yuanjing's textile workshop.

Li Yuanjing returned home, took a simple bath, changed his clothes, and didn't have time to make love with Yu Niang a few times, so he came to see Wang Youdao.

"Yuanjing, how are things?"

Wang Youdao didn't seem to have slept well for a few days at this time, his eyes were bloodshot and his bags were swollen, and when he saw Li Yuanjing enter the door, he hurriedly grabbed Li Yuanjing's hand and asked hurriedly.

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

Li Yuanjing shook Wang Youdao's hand vigorously, then quietly broke free of his hand and took out the receipt opened by 'Yishui Zhenren'.

Wang Youdao hurriedly took it and examined it carefully, and then the old man's face showed ecstasy, and he muttered:

"This is the handwriting of a real person, yes, this is the handwriting of a real person."

said.

Busy and excitedly hugged Li Yuanjing again, and said:

"Yuan Jing, this time your affection, your Uncle Wang, I have all remembered it. I still have important things to do, so I won't disturb your rest. When we're done, let's get together! ”

…

Wang Youdao quickly left in a hurry with more than a dozen of his relatives, completely ignoring the terrible heavy snow closing the mountain at this time, and seemed to have forgotten to ask Li Yuanjing about the specific process.

Li Yuanjing looked at his back and couldn't help but squint his eyes hard.

What happened to make Wang Youdao so flustered and ignore it?

Pity.

At this time, the traffic was not smooth, and the information was even worse, even if Li Yuanjing had the heart, it was obviously impossible to inquire about the news from Wang Youdao's side.

Not much.

Zhang Kun and Zhao Zengjin came over to report the follow-up situation in the village to Li Yuanjing.

The family of the three unlucky guys, in the face of this situation, didn't think much about it at all, let alone change anything.

Not to mention, Li Yuanjing can still give them a pension of three taels of silver, and they all call Li Yuanjing benevolent and righteous.

This made Li Yuanjing feel a little uncomfortable, and he wondered if the brains of these three people were kicked by a donkey.

They weren't strong wolves in the first place, but they took the initiative to break away from the wolves at such a time of great change, didn't they kill themselves?

But Li Yuanjing is not a benevolent person, he can't spoil this whole pot of porridge for these few grains of self-made smart rat!

beckoned Zhang Kun and the two to rest, and he also returned home and hugged Yu Niang's small body to rest.

…

The next morning, the snow stopped, and the inside and outside of Quanzi Village, including the mountains in the distance, had become a world covered in snow.

Li Yuanjing took the old village chief, Zhang Kun, Zhao Zengjin and others early in the morning to send pension money to the families of the three unlucky people.

This suddenly moved the three families, and they kept kneeling and kowtowing to Li Yuanjing.

When he went out, seeing that Li Yuanjing was still a little depressed, the old village chief was relieved and patted Li Yuanjing on the shoulder and said:

"Yuan Jing, you are a person who does great things, how can you give birth to the kindness of a woman because of these sloppy goods? Hundreds of us are counting on you. ”

Li Yuanjing only eased up a little at this time, and said with a smile:

"Uncle, then I don't want to. But in the future, these three families, where they can be taken care of, I still want to take care of them, and you can't train me anymore. ”

"You bastard."

The old village chief was both relieved and moved, and walked side by side with Li Yuanjing.

The two walked out more than a dozen steps, and Li Yuanjing said:

"Uncle, now, everything we should prepare is almost done, can we repair the earthen wall this day?"

The old village chief came back to his senses after a pause, and couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"Yes, why not?"

"We don't pay so much attention to the crops. Besides, our village lacks everything, but there is no shortage of firewood. If you bake the ground first, you will waste a little more work. Yuanjing, you, do you want to do it now? ”

Li Yuanjing nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, uncle. I want to do it today! ”

"According to the usual practice, in another three or five days, after the autumn tax revenue of our government is finished, the Martha master of Lengshan will come over to collect protection money. I thought, I'll pay for the earthen wall. At least I'm out of the majority! ”

"In this way, when the people have money in their hands, they won't have to worry about not being able to pay the protection fee of the Martha family, and they won't have to sell their sons and daughters anymore to cause a tragedy in the world!"

"Yuanjing ......"

The old village chief was really shocked by Li Yuanjing at this time, and his excited old face turned red, and then he couldn't stop the old tears:

"Yuanjing, in the future, in this Quanzi Village, what do you say, my old man will do !!"

…

Li Yuanjing and the old village leader reached a further agreement, and before noon, the large-scale project of building the earthen wall in Quanzi Village was launched in a mighty way.

Li Yuanjing naturally would not be stingy at this time.

directly gave Zhang Kun, Zhuzi, Kuizi, Xiangzi and others ten taels of silver, and asked them to go to Tieniu Town to buy grain.

It's not that Li Yuanjing doesn't want to give more.

The main reason is that there is such a large stock in Tieniu Town, and if you really have to buy hundreds of taels at once, then it will make people suspicious and have an accident.

For just ten taels of silver, it is impossible to buy white rice, but also mixed with wheat, millet and other grains, so that people can't find faults, and it is more cost-effective.

The old village chief had long planned for the earthen wall of Quanzi Village.

Several old artisan households in the village also know this.

Including Li Yuanjing's father, Li Laoshi, when he was alive, he was afraid that he had planned this matter several times.

However.

Everything was not implemented until Li Yuanjing rose at this time.

After careful discussion with the old village chief and several old craftsmen, Li Yuanjing did not change the overall plan, but improved it on the basis of this plan.

Like what.

Normal state.

In other villages, like Dagou Village, they built earthen walls, which were basically built on flat ground, relying only on the earthen walls to stand tall and keep the danger out behind the earthen walls.

Li Yuanjing thought about it carefully.

It was decided to dig a trench five or six meters deep and seven or eight meters wide on the periphery of the earthen wall at the same time as building the earthen wall.

Such.

The earthen wall is built to a height of seven or eight meters, and the trench on this side extends to a depth of five or six meters, and a depth of seven or eight meters wide, which can better protect the safety of Quanzi Village.

It's not that Li Yuanjing doesn't want to straighten out the rope in one go and introduce the moat.

The main earthen walls are mainly rammed earth, mixed with some lime and other materials, plus some wooden skeleton support, so as to build up.

This type is not able to withstand blisters.

Not to mention adding something to the water to prevent it from freezing in winter.

When the time comes.

Quanzi Village only has two big city gates, one south and one north, and then a small city gate is opened on the east side of Daquanzi to facilitate the villagers to draw water.

This one comes.

The overall defense strength has directly risen to a big notch.

Coupled with the unique geographical advantages of Quanzi Village, it is not necessarily easy for the enemy to break through even a thousand people.

Although the waste soil excavated from the surrounding trenches could not be directly used to build earthen walls, Li Yuanjing would not waste it.

After consulting with the old village chief and a few old craftsmen, he decided to use the waste soil to fill the small dirt slope near his house.

This one comes.

After this small dirt slope is filled, Li Yuanjing's home is the commanding height of Quanzi Village, which is more than 20 meters higher than the houses of ordinary people.

Not only has the area been expanded, more workshops, warehouses, and dormitories can be built, but also Li Yuanjing's home has reached a big step in terms of security.

It's late afternoon.

As Zhang Kun and the others came back from buying grain, all the laborers who came to work, regardless of men and women, received their wages for the first day.

This made the entire Quanzi Village boil.

Countless ordinary people are like being beaten with chicken blood, and they can't wait to work hard overnight and directly kill Li Yuanjing to bankruptcy......
