After a while, Zhang Dayu returned.

There were also a few strong young men beside him, and he said to Lin Ze excitedly: "Just now I conveyed the words of the noble man to the relatives and neighbors in the village, everyone is very supportive of the noble man's idea, noble man, please see if there is anything we can help with." ”

"We countrymen don't have anything else, but we have a lot of strength."

"Don't worry, since we can go to work when the coal mine is built, we will now bring our own dry food to help, and we will not be paid."

The ideas of these villagers are simple, and the nobles of the city are extremely credible in their eyes.

Since the nobles in the city have said that the correct use of coal will not poison them, and they must take them to work to make money, then of course everyone must show a supportive attitude.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lin Ze's face.

His previous judgment was right, the people here are quite simple, and there is no obvious Diao people.

After all, now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in its heyday, the big guys can live well as long as they work hard, and there are naturally not so many Diao people.

Just worried about the lack of labor, someone sent it to the door, which also saved him the effort of looking for people everywhere.

"The elders don't have to call me a nobleman, in Xia Linze, the word is Yi."

"There are some fields and industries at home, and this coal mine is also one of them, since you villagers want to help, then you will laugh at it."

"It's just that you can't let the villagers work in vain, this salary still has to be paid."

Lin Ze should undertake.

The purpose of his words is to tell the village chief that he is a rich man, and it will definitely be beneficial for you to follow me.

Turning his gaze to the family Ding Da Zhuang on the side, Lin Ze instructed: "Da Zhuang, you go and ask the master craftsmen how much effort is needed to complete this mining area as quickly as possible." ”

These masters describe their Overworld professions as civil engineers, who are in charge of designing and doing some difficult construction work.

As for the sheer effort of carrying building materials, anyone can do it, so Lin Ze plans to recruit many locals to help speed up the construction of the coal mine's living quarters.

Da Zhuang ran over to ask the craftsman, and Lin Ze said to Zhang Dayu, the village chief of Heishi Village: "It will take time for the master craftsman to count the required labor, elders, you can count how many young people can work in every household in Heishi Village on this side of the village." ”

"In addition, in other villages in Fenglin Township, if any relatives of yours are willing to come over to work, you can also call them."

"Don't worry, it's all about food and pay."

Zhang Dayu didn't understand Lin Ze's words, but he still understood some key words.

Let him go and call all those who are willing to work, not only to take care of the food but also to pay the wages.

"Okay, noble, stay a minute, I'll go."

Zhang Dayu replied with a smile, turned around and went to call someone.

Naturally, there are not many people who can help for free, but if you take care of the food and pay the salary, there will be more people who can come.

In the entire vicinity of Fenglin Township, it is not a big problem to gather hundreds of young people at all.

-----------------

Time passed, and soon it was close to noon.

Although it has only been a long time since I came to this Fenglin Township, it has already taken a lot of time just to get here.

"Young Master Lin, we have finished our preliminary exploration."

Zhao Cai, the master of palm ink, came back and opened his mouth to report the progress of the work to Lin Ze.

Seeing that Lin Ze's attention was on himself, Zhao Cai began to point to all parts of the mining area and tell Lin Ze which building he planned to build here.

Lin Ze doesn't know much about civil engineering, so his evaluation criteria are also very straightforward, that is, whether it is good or not.

He followed the words of the master of palm ink, imagining the role of these buildings as the coal mine operated, and found that these masters did have something, and understood their meaning very well, at least he did not find any obvious problems for the time being.

"Here in Blackstone Village, there are three hundred and four young people who can help with the work, Zhao Zhangmo, you see how long it will take to finish all these tasks?"

Lin Ze relayed the information he got from Zhang Dayu, the head of Heishi Village, to Zhao Cai.

Asked Da Zhuang to ask how much effort was needed, these civil engineers said that the exploration had not yet been completed and could not give an accurate answer.

And now that the exploration is complete, it is time to know how many people will be needed.

"If there are 300 people, then in three days at most, all the buildings and roads that need can be repaired."

Zhao Cai followed Lin Ze's instructions, and soon saw that there were hundreds of young and middle-aged people gathered near Heishi Village outside the mining area.

After a pause, Zhao Cai gave an accurate answer.

For these masters, arithmetic can be said to be a compulsory subject, and of course it is difficult for Zhao Cai to calculate such a little thing.

"Can you command so many people to work?"

Lin Ze asked.

Coordinating and directing hundreds of people to work is not a simple matter, it is a talent that surpasses ordinary people.

It's normal for a craftsman to not know these things.

If Zhao Cai can't, then only Lin Ze will personally command.

He has been trained for a long time in his past and present lives, and his ability to point is still quite strong.

"I definitely can't command so many people by myself, but there are still a lot of master craftsmen in the other three craftsman teams, and after we have discussed it, one person will work with more than a dozen people, and it will be easy for everyone to play a role, Lin Gongzi, you can take a look."

Zhao Cai said confidently.

"Alright then, you command these people to do things."

Lin Ze nodded, deciding to believe him.

Then I saw Zhao Cai go to find the other two craftsman teams, and the three of them discussed it together for a while, and then went to communicate with Zhang Dayu, the head of Heishi Village.

After a while, hundreds of young men and women were seen each holding tools and starting to work under the guidance of the scattered craftsmen.

Some people go to the nearest wood, some go to level the ground, some go to dig ditches...

Although the scene was a little chaotic at first, everyone soon began to concentrate on their work.

"I do have some abilities."

When Lin Ze saw this scene, some smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth.

It's a lot easier.

"Elder, please help me call ten more women with quick hands and feet to come and prepare the meal, I need to borrow your steamer pots and bowls, and I will need to borrow them for the next three or four days."

"These cooks don't have any salary, but they can bring their families to eat with them."

Lin Ze opened his mouth and said to Zhang Dayu on the side.

While he was waiting, he had already asked a family member to run back to the city, and took his seal to several grain, vegetable and meat suppliers in the city to send supplies to this Fenglin Township.

It is estimated that it will be delivered in a while, and then someone will need to help make these materials into meals for the people who are currently working.

At present, the mine canteen has not yet been fully opened, so I can only temporarily find someone to cook from the vicinity of this Black Rock Village.

Anyway, most of the people who eat are locals near Blackstone Village, and Lin Ze is not afraid of these cooks doing things, and it will not be him who will suffer when the time comes.
