From then on, with the profits from cotton cloth, he basically no longer had to worry about money, and his plans to build houses, roads, and farms began to be gradually implemented.
Because the demand for labor is increasing day by day, not only all the villagers with working ability in Linshan Village and Liushan Village have gone to work, but villagers from other nearby villages have also heard about it and found jobs here.
For a time, Linshan Village became very lively, with constant laughter and laughter every day.
In this era of war and chaos, Linshan Village is like a paradise.
Seeing that various industries are developing more and more smoothly, people's lives are getting better and better...
However, this beautiful life was eventually broken.
...
That night, it was already dark. Lin Xu was drinking tea in his yard when Gouwa suddenly ran in in a panic!
He ran too fast and was out of breath from exhaustion. He had his hands on his hips and couldn't even speak.
Gouwa is only thirteen years old this year. His parents have died and he is an orphan.
Originally, the old village chief arranged for him to work on the farm, but he was not interested in farm work. He preferred to follow Sun Chong and the others to the city to deliver goods, run errands, and see the world!
Although Goudan was not old, Sun Chong saw that he was very smart and agile, so he accepted him.
It stands to reason that Goudan should follow the delivery team to the city to deliver goods at this time, because they are afraid of encountering bandits, so every time they deliver goods, they set off at night and travel all night.
Now Gouwa suddenly ran back, something obviously happened!
"Goudan, what's wrong?"
Lin Xu poured a bowl of herbal tea and handed it to him.
Goudan took the bowl and drank two sips before saying: "We...we encountered bandits..."
Lin Xu's heart immediately thumped: "How's it going? No one was hurt, right?"
Goudan shook his head: "No one was hurt, but they took all our cloth away... They also said that our village chief should go to the mountain... a trip to the mountain...
..."
Lin Xu was somewhat relieved to hear that no one was injured.
"Where are Brother Chong and the others?"
"They're all behind... I ran fast, so I came here to give you the news first!"
"Goudan, I understand, please sit down and rest for a while."
Lin Xu patted Goudan on the shoulder and strode out.
At this time, Zhang Lie walked out of the blacksmith shop and asked loudly: "What's going on? What were you yelling about just now? What happened?"
Goudan was about to speak, but when he saw Lin Xu's eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"Brother, something happened at the brick kiln factory. I'll take care of it. You go about your business!"
Lin Xu knew Zhang Lie's fiery temper very well. If Zhang Lie knew that bandits had robbed their cloth, he would definitely fight against the bandits!
But now is not the time to compete with the bandits!
So, he found an excuse and excused himself.
"Okay, if you can use me for anything, call me anytime!"
Zhang Lie didn't think much about it, and immediately got into the blacksmith shop and started working. This chapter has been completed!
