Chapter 192: Too Many Things

When the work was finished on the sixth day, Su Qingmei went to the construction site to check. Read М

I found that the project was almost finished, and there were only some finishing works left. It was estimated that it would be completed in half a day tomorrow morning.

When she went to check again the next day, she found that the wooden fences connecting the two sides of the village gate had been fixed, and thorns had been planted. The gaps were so small that even pheasants could not get in.

I don’t know whether it was because Su Qingmei was personally present and made suggestions and adjustments from time to time, or because the Zhongzhaizhu commanded properly, or because the whole engineering team was enthusiastic and held back a ball of fire.

The whole project was not only completed on schedule, but also completed to a very good degree.

Su Qingmei walked around and was very satisfied with the completion of the whole project.

According to this progress, the twenty-eight villages can complete the defense fortifications of each village before the New Year. The villagers can spend the winter safely.

"President, I never dreamed that I could see this day!" The leader of the village, Zhong, was full of emotion behind Su Qing'an, his eyes moist.

When the bandits came to occupy the village, he watched so many villagers die in front of him, powerless. He thought he would perish with the village.

I didn't expect to see the day when the gate of Baijia Village was built.

This gate is really spacious and magnificent. The three big characters "Baijia Village" are spelled out with hardwood above the gate, which makes him feel like there is a fire burning in his heart.

Standing on the wall above the gate and looking into the distance, people can't help but feel excited.

"Qing'an, thank you, I thank you on behalf of all the villagers in our village.

"Uncle Zhong, don't say that, Xiaobao and I also live in the village, and I am one with your safety. "

"Qing'an, don't be modest, if it weren't for you, I don't know when this gate can be built. With the people in our village, we don't have the ability to build it. ”

Su Qingmei agreed with this.

Each village worked behind closed doors, and did not know how to use the power of others to their advantage. They lived their own lives behind closed doors. A village had only two or three hundred people, so how many laborers could they have?

To build such a large project, it took more than vision and courage.

In order not to affect the workers' journey to the next village, Su Qingmei stopped the construction team at the beginning of the afternoon.

The remaining little finishing work could be done by the villagers of Baijia Village in one day.

Su Qingmei gathered the laborers together, paid everyone seven days' wages, and then she stood on a high platform and said a few words to everyone.

First, she affirmed everyone's work in the past few days, and praised them for their beautiful work, hoping that they would continue to work hard and complete the defense fortifications of other villages. Beautiful.

More than 200 laborers held the hot copper coins and listened to the president's words of affirmation. They were excited and thrilled. They worked for seven days in a row, but they didn't feel tired at all.

After Su Qing'an finished speaking, the village chief Zhong also came up to say a few words of thanks, and asked the women in the village to set up a meal for them.

This meal was richer than the previous few days, and everyone felt warm in their hearts. They all remembered Baijia Village. The food in Baijia Village is delicious, and the villagers are warm and hospitable. They will come more often if they have the chance in the future. [6][9][s][h][u][x][.][c][o][m]

After calling for food, while it was still early, more than 200 laborers and 30 strong laborers from Baijia Village set off for the next village.

And the villagers of Baijia Village The children were surrounding the brand new gate, looking at it non-stop.

From time to time, they would scream and climb up the wall of the village gate to look, and walk over and over again. The children were even more excited and ran around, refusing to come down no matter how the adults called them.

On the inside of the village gate, in the thick village gate, two rooms were dug out on each side. One was used as a storehouse, where arrows were placed, and the other was used as a daily resting place for night watchmen.

Village Chief Zhong immediately took a fancy to it and said he would move his bedding from home over, and he would sleep in the village gate room in the future.

However, it was snatched by many villagers. How could the old village chief sleep here to guard the village gate? They were not satisfied with the novelty yet.

Su Qingmei pulled Village Chief Zhong out of the crowd.

He took another careful look along the village gate and asked him to move some The finishing work had to be done. The villagers had to build the suspension bridge over the trench as soon as possible.

The trench connected the mountains and mountain streams on both sides, and the mountain spring water was brought into the trench to form running water. Looking at the wide trench, Su Qingmei felt that it could not be wasted, and discussed with the village chief Zhong whether they could raise some fish, shrimp, snails, eels and the like in it.

The village chief Zhong admired Su Qingmei very much.

At this moment, he only had the tall and spectacular village gate in his eyes and heart, but look at Madam Su, look at others. They have already thought of raising fish and shrimp in the trench.

The village chief Zhong was a little embarrassed.

Su Qingmei turned her head and looked at the villagers who were busy surrounding the village gate, and pulled the village chief away.

"In half a month, the village chiefs will bring the products of their villages here. How is our village collecting? "

Zhaizhu Zhong's expression was serious. He really forgot about it.

Every day he would go to the village gate to check the progress before dawn, and he wanted to sleep there at night. He really forgot about it.

"I told Bai Ze and Bai Chuan. They took people to do it. I haven't asked him yet."

Bai Ze and Bai Chuan were the assistants that Zhong Zhaizhu found for himself.

They were also the two old men who came to help Su Qing'an copy the documents that day. They were also the few literate people in the village. They were about the same age as Zhong Zhaizhu.

Su Qing'an reminded him whether he should find two younger ones to be assistants. Young people have ideas and are more physically strong.

But after Zhongzhai Master thought about it, he still decided on these two.

It is said that the two of them are literate, and although they are older, they are experienced enough, so let them work for a year and see.

Su Qingyu didn't say anything.

"Then you should quickly find out about the situation from them. This matter is related to the future economy of the village. Be sure to pay attention to it."

"Yes." Zhongzhai Master nodded in agreement.

"Also, you have to check out the caves and greenhouses, and ask the responsible aunts to see if enough soil and fertilizer have been applied, whether the soil is thick enough, and what the temperature is, so it won't affect the germination of the seeds."

The leader of Zhongzhai nodded while taking a charcoal pen to write down in the small notebook he carried with him.

This small notebook and charcoal pencils were obtained from Su Qingyu.

When Su Qingyu asked Ma Siyuan and Ma Siyuan to do something, he would ask them to write it down, cut rice paper into small notebooks for them, and make charcoal pens for them to record.

Su Qingyu wanted to make Xiu'er her assistant, but Xiu'er didn't know much about literacy, so she had to take the two brothers with her.

Lord Zhonghan looked at it, licked his face and asked Su Qingyu for a set, and took it with him to record it at any time. From being awkward at the beginning, I can now keep up with Su Qingyu’s speaking speed and memorize it quickly.

He is old, and this notebook and charcoal pen are most suitable for him.

When things get busy, he often does this and forgets about that. This charcoal pen and notebook are his most cherished things now.

His two deputies tried to grab it but couldn't. He also wanted him to ask for two more portions from Su Qingyu, but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth. Just let them prepare themselves.

As Su Qingyu said this, she glanced at Zhongzhai Master and saw him recording quickly.

He smiled and then said: "There is one more thing. Now that our village gate has been built, you can walk around the village more when you have time and find some place to come out. I told you before that you have to stay in the village. Building some houses will also be put on the agenda.”

He added: "I estimate that before winter or after spring, my godfather will send someone over. It would be bad if there is no place to live by then."

Zhongzhai Master quickly remembered: "Yes, I will arrange this matter immediately."

"In addition, the defense works have been completed, and people must be assigned to duty. All people in the village who are over 16 years old and under 55 years old must be assigned. Please take the time to mobilize in the village and make arrangements. "On duty."

"Yes." This is a big deal. Can't forget.

Lord Zhonghan made a special big mark in the notebook.
