Those who are officials do not seek personal gain will be in a state of mind.
Chen Sanlang took office and made a big project. The best way to block others' words is to not waste money on the people, but to increase people's welfare, to improve the treatment of workers and implement it, which is better than anything else.
When you see the virtuous, you will learn from the people, but the people's hearts are the most realistic.
The treatment is good, and everyone is very enthusiastic about working, working together to compete for performance - because Zhou Hezhi said that anyone who performs well can get the opportunity to stay in Chenjiazhuang to work as a long-term worker.
This opportunity has a great temptation for craftsmen or pure labor. For them, where to work is not done? The key is to meet a good master. Chen Sanlang is the noble of a county, with a gentle and generous personality, and knows how to compassionate the people. Such a good family is hard to find with lanterns.
With high enthusiasm for work and a significant increase in construction speed, the prototype of the village dock foundation has gradually formed. When people saw it, they couldn't help but be amazed: What a big village!
When Chen Sanlang chose a place, he had carefully considered and carefully calculated it. He could attack or defend by relying on mountains and rivers, with the ins and outs of the world.
The water person has the Xiaolongnu lineage in charge, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the strong soldiers are brave, comparable to an elite team of elite troops - the army and the army comes out of power, which is iron-like. At present, Chen Sanlang is only a seventh-rank county magistrate. Although he has the emperor's order and the emperor's sword, he can only intimidate ordinary people. When war starts, the imperial sword will be useless.
The county magistrate is in charge of the government affairs of a county, but there are very few people under his command. Two yamen runners and a team of wanderers scattered bravely. Not to mention marching and fighting, even if you encounter a strong bandit, you will be able to eat a pot of money.
It’s not that Chen Sanlang didn’t want to train troops. But first, he was not named and was exposed, which was a death sentence for raising private soldiers; second, raising soldiers is much more difficult than farming and building, and he has to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to achieve success; third, he now has no talent in this area.
Therefore, for the current plan, I can only rely on Xiaoyao Fudao's Taoist soldiers and Xiaolongnu and others.
The mountain man looked at Xiaoyao Fudao. He regarded Xiaoyao as his home and had become the same trench as Chen Sanlang. Therefore, he spent all his money and effort to set up a ban formation in such a large area. It can be said that every grass and tree in the range was carefully designed, integrated into one, and the formation was generated and played a role.
The Chenjiazhuang plan covers a huge area, with more than ten acres, divided into three major areas, one is the owner's mansion, which lives with Chen Sanlang and his family; the other is the Chen family school. It is divided into many subject courtyards; and the other is the residential area.
As for other stables, blacksmith shops and granaries, it is no problem.
At this time, Zhou Hezhi realized more deeply about Chen Sanlang's ambition when he first drew the blueprint.
How is this building a village? It’s simply building a city.
Of course, compared to the real Xiongcheng, Chenjiazhuang is much smaller, but it is more than enough to carry the family heritage. It is enough to stand for a long time.
Such a strong and spacious village makes people feel at ease and belonging when they see it.
"This is my home!"
Zhou Hezhi burst into tears. He was forced to make up his mind to follow Chen Sanlang and leave the well after he left the village. Now he saw the village wall being built bit by bit, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Mr. Yang was also excited. He never thought that he could participate in such a huge project in his lifetime, which was to do it according to Chen Sanlang's requirements, with special expenses.
It’s fine, the main body is quarry-like bricks, with large strips, each weighing more than a ton. When it is built, lime and glutinous rice slurry are poured into the gaps, which is a luxury.
However, it has to be said that the stone wall built in this way is indestructible and solid, not afraid of the vicissitudes of life and can withstand the corrosion of time.
There is another episode among them, which is the work of quarrying and transporting stones. It was originally extremely difficult and difficult, and the labor was exhausted. However, overnight, stones were piled on the ground.
Such things are amazing.
There are rumors that the host of Xiaoyao Temple took action and invited the Yellow Turban Strongmen to come. They were all gods who came down to earth, with great power and no effort to quarrel.
This rumor is very terrifying, and in fact it is almost the same. After all, with such high requirements, it is difficult to complete by manpower alone, so Chen Sanlang asked the Taoist soldiers to take action. Anyway, Xiaoyao Fudao is a shield, and it can also increase the Taoist style of a master.
"Living God!"
Many believers went to Xiaoyao Temple to burn incense and admired it so much.
Chen Sanlang built a building, made famous, and gathered people's hearts. Naturally, there were people who wrote letters to impeach them in the dynasty. However, all these memorials were muddy and there was no echo.
Almost everyone in the government and the country realized that the emperor was deliberately indulging and letting Chen Sanlang do it.
But letting go does not mean support. The emperor has no other expressions except an imperial edict and a sword. In his mind, Chen Sanlang was a casual chess and a pawn he placed on the chessboard. As for whether this pawn can survive in the end, what step he can take depends on his own efforts and luck.
Perhaps such chess pieces are not only in Yangzhou, but also in other states.
But Chen Sanlang naturally couldn't control those.
"At most three months, the village dock will be officially completed."
Chen Sanlang breathed.
During this period, the rice fields have matured and harvested. This season, the harvest is good. After drying and cleaning, Huang Cancan’s rice is packed in bags and transported into the granary in bags, which makes people feel happy. As the saying goes: If you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart, and it is true.
In ancient times, when agriculture was dominated by the law, food was more important than money.
During this period, Zhou Fencao also came to see three times without saying a word, and was in a complicated mood. In fact, deep in his heart, he was still a little resistant to Chen Sanlang's opposition to Chen Sanlang's construction of the family foundation in such a boastful manner. He felt that there was no need to be so extravagant, but he also faintly guessed some of Chen Sanlang's true intentions: gathering people, without a stable and solid basis, it is difficult to gather people's hearts.
You don’t even have a stable place, how can you follow me? Run around and run around, and feel anxious and as if a dog is a loser, how much appeal can it have?
Although Chen Sanlang is now the magistrate of Jingxian County, the county town of Jingxian cannot be regarded as his base. Because of the transfer order, he has to change to another place to become an official.
The family has different foundations. It is rooted in the countryside and will not migrate unless it encounters huge turmoil and changes.
As a veteran, Zhou Fencao also understood Chen Sanlang's inner anxiety and needed to seek a safe and reliable stronghold and take every step forward.
But, if there is really a day when the world collapses, the building will collapse, and can a family's foundation withstand it?
Zhou Fencao expressed doubts.
It was just a skepticism. Chen Sanlang did things neatly and did not do anything for his own benefit, nor did he hurt the people's money. Zhou Bian Cao could not find any faults, so naturally he had nothing to say.
The only thing to criticize is that Chen Sanlang, the county magistrate, is too careless and is completely a hand-off manager. Zhou Fencao, who is the main force, is actually the county magistrate. In fact, there are not many things in the small county town. After the busy start, it becomes dull afterwards. The cases reported are quite trivial. Either the Li family’s daughter-in-law quarrel with her mother-in-law, or the Zhang family’s family is missing a chicken...
But I heard that on the junction of the county town, there were strong men in that mountain range that occupied the mountain and became king. They did some cases, robbed the house and killed people and robbed people.
However, if the bandits involved in gangs are often reported to the mansion before they can be handled.
Zhou Fencao sent a document to Nanyang Prefecture yesterday, but he did not see a reply. Thinking that the mountains there were far away, he didn't take it seriously at this time.
The setting sun shines, and there is still a scene of rushing towards the sky at the foot of the mountain, which is very busy. The sound of beating, the shouts of workers and the sings of cattle and sheep are intertwined, making them very lively.
On the grass slope outside, several people suddenly appeared. The leader was tall and tall. Looking at their clothes, they seemed to be passing by, and they were watching the fun.
During this period, I heard about the construction of Chenjiazhuang, and there are many people who came to watch it.
After some simple disguise, Mo Xuanyi stood on the slope, stared for a long time, and smiled.
A confidant asked, "Brother Mo, why are you laughing?"
Mo Xuanyi replied: "I thought this person was a stubborn person, but now it seems that he was just a nouveau riche. He lived in a siege in the city, but in the end, he was a dry bone in the tomb. Let's go, enter the city, don't miss the time!" (To be continued)
