Chapter 191: build a stockade
Chapter 191 Building the stockade
The middle man did not dare to hide it, and said bluntly: "He also said that the deceased Master Wei was a fool."
The anger and curse did not appear as expected. The middle man secretly glanced at Wei Ye and saw him with a sneer and sneer. He couldn't understand what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to say anything.
After a long time, Master Wei said lightly: "Just according to the other party's intention, it will be cheaper by two hundred taels. Also, keep an eye on it from the back to see if that person really built a workshop there."
"Yes!"
After the middleman returned, he immediately sent a letter to Wen Youshan, so that day Wen Youshan got the title deed of Zhuangzi and encircled the surrounding wasteland. The people in the yamen knew what was going on there, and did not expect Wen You at all. Reclaiming the wasteland, plus an extra income, everyone looked at him as if he was looking at the God of Wealth.
Wen Youshan didn't care either. He took the land deed and rushed back to Fushan Village. He recruited several skilled craftsmen, Huang Ergou, Sun Laifu, and some hard-working men.
A group of people gathered at Sun Laifu's house, peeking at each other, dazed.
"Laifu, what is the mountain looking for us?" a villager asked.
The others immediately echoed, "That's right, if you have something to say, we'll do it right away, there's still a lot of work in the field, so don't delay!"
Sun Laifu shouted at the top of his voice, "Be quiet, there will be a mountain in a while!"
After being drank by him like this, everyone became quiet.
Wen Youshan hurriedly entered the door, looked around, found that more than 20 people had come, and smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, there are quite a lot of people, I called you here today to tell you that our family wants to expand the workshop, We need more silkworm cocoons. You used to plant one mu per household, but now you can plant three acres per household."
As soon as the voice fell, the entire Sun family was boiling.
"True or false! There are mountains, this is not a joke!"
"That's right! If I can really plant three acres, I'll get the money to go to the village chief right now!"
"Yes yes yes, find the village chief and buy land!"
Everyone talked a lot and looked at each other vigilantly, as if they would rush out of their nests and rush to the village chief’s house if someone moved.
Wen Youshan was stunned, hehe smiled and said, "Everyone's life is better now, how come buying land is like buying gadgets, just come casually."
"Hehe, it's not because of your family's blessing." Huang Ergou grinned and said, "What else do you have to explain? If not, I'll leave first."
Seeing that everyone couldn't wait to leave, Wen Youshan hurriedly shouted: "What's the hurry! I still have something to do! Isn't this the workshop to be expanded! The land in the village is really not enough, so I bought a village on the outskirts of the county. , thinking of building a big workshop, similar to the stockade.
It happens that the place is full of stones. It’s best not to let the stone house be built. I definitely can’t get it by myself, so I can only look at yours. "
"Hi!" Everyone gasped and built a stockade! That's a stockade! How big must it be? A thousand acres?
Wen Youshan said the business and looked at them strangely, "Okay, you can go, why don't you go?"
A group of people rushed over and surrounded Wen Youshan in the middle, and a heated discussion about the construction of the stockade began. It seemed that they had left behind the purchase of the land.
Wen Youshan felt like there were tens of thousands of flies buzzing in his ears, and he was dying after the crowd dispersed.
The people in the village, under the leadership of the village chief, divided up all the sloping wasteland that could be divided, and each household gained two acres of land. The villagers were very happy and ended this chaotic day.
The next day, all the people in the village were dispatched, big and small, old and young, all of them were tidying up the newly bought land. The father and brother of the woman’s family called for help, and every family went into the mountains in groups to dig mulberry trees. Fortunately, Before they dug mulberry trees and planted small saplings, otherwise there would be so many mulberry trees in this mountain for them to dig.
The whole village was busy for seven or eight days before it stopped. As for Huang Ergou and the others, they had to follow Wen Youshan to see the Zhuangzi, and they were so busy that they hit the back of the head.
After everything was arranged, Wen Youshan set off with the caravan again. The matter of Zhuangzi was handed over to Huang Ergou, Sun Laifu and the others, and Chang Yuan supervised. After the workshop here began to operate, Chang Yuan was the steward here.
The reason why Wen Youshan chose Changyuan is because Changyuan was the servants who bought it back at the beginning, and he was considered an old man in the family. Besides, Changyuan has been by his side all these years, and Wen Youshan's character is recognized. In addition, Chen Ningya served as a matchmaker for him, marrying an embroidered mother from Jinyifang to him, and now has a son. The Changyuan family is tightly bound to the Wen family, and Wen Youshan is not afraid that he will give birth to two hearts.
In addition to Nagahara, Nagato Changquan, Jiang Dayi, and the others all became families. They all married embroidered mothers. They had children and daughters. It is faithfulness.
The days are like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, the midsummer quietly slipped away. The group of people who were working in full swing on the Zhuangzi was searched by their mother-in-law. Only then did they realize that the autumn harvest was coming, and the group went back to the village to discuss with Chen Ningya. The ground is alive.
On Zhuangzi's side, only Changyuan was left to watch.
The middle man came quietly to take a look at the autumn harvest, and he was almost stunned by this look. I saw that Zhuangzi, who had been like a barren mountain before, had disappeared, and the walls were also demolished, and there were several in their place. The big yard is full of rows of tall stone houses. Although it has not been completed, he can already predict what it will look like when it is completed.
In addition to these yards, the 600 acres of fields are also planted with crops. He didn't go in to see the specifics. He only knew that it looked more alive than before. If it wasn't for a few bare hills still there, he would almost think he was Wrong place.
When the zhongren was shocked, Chang Yuan also saw him and came over and asked seriously, "Who are you?"
The middle man came back to his senses and hurriedly said with a smile: "I'm a middle man, this village was bought from me by Master Wen, and it happened that someone nearby wanted to buy land, so I came to see when I passed by, I didn't expect Master Wen to be so fast. , I said that I want to build a stockade, but I really built it! But it's a pity that these mountains are useless."
Changyuan wondered: "Who said it was useless! Didn't you see that these houses were built on hills? Without these hills, where would we get the stones?"
Nagahara's foolish expression successfully persuaded the middleman to quit.
The middle man who returned to the county was still sighing, and he didn't care if he reported the situation to the Wei family. It was either that he didn't know what Master Wei was thinking, or that he was reluctant to throw money into it, but with the idea of luck, he beat the mantis. The idea of catching the cicada and the oriole behind, but the Wen family didn't mean it at all, and Wei Ye's plan was probably in vain.
Sure enough, when Master Wei received the news, he didn’t believe it, and sent someone to watch Zhuangzi. As a result, it snowed from the autumn harvest to the winter, and the people on the Zhuangzi didn’t do anything except build houses. Those hills were real. I went, but people just stared at those stones, and they transported the stones down the mountain one by one. No one stopped. They all felt terrible when they saw that the stones on the mountain would not really be dug up.
