A few people dispersed quietly as if they had heard some secret. While working, they secretly whispered to the people around them, as if they were afraid that someone would hear them again. As a result, in less than an hour, all the people working Everyone knows it, including Aunt Wang who cooks.
The eyes of everyone working on the construction site were rolling around, thinking that only they knew such a big secret. They pretended not to know anything, but they were thinking about who to notify next.
Bai Lu completed the task and reported to Su Niyue. Only then did Su Niyue understand what was going on at the construction site. She nodded with a smirk on her face, took a bag of rice dumplings from her arms and gave it to Bai Lu. Bai Lu beamed as soon as she saw it. Yes, it has to be his princess, so I know he likes to eat this.
Su Niyue smiled and went to find Li Zheng to start her next plan. Li Zheng had just learned about the extreme cold and was planning to discuss moving with his sons at night when he saw Su Niyue walking towards him. He came over and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Young madam, do I have something to do with the old man?"
"Uncle Li Zheng, thank you for your hard work these past two days!"
"Hey, it's not hard, it's not hard. Your aunt just said that I've gained weight these days!" After Li Zheng finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. Wouldn't it appear that he was too idle?
Su Niyue was not very good at small talk, so she smiled and said, "It's good to be fat. Uncle Li Zheng, which village is this mountain behind us from?"
Li Zheng looked back and said, "This mountain has no owner. The mountain next to it belongs to Lijiacun. Do you want to buy another mountain?"
"Well, I want to build an oil pressing mill, but our existing open space has been planned and there is not enough space!"
"Can an oil mill be built on this mountain?"
"I will build a few houses, warehouses, and pig-raising houses at the foot of the mountain. I will also build a few warehouses for storing pickles. I will also stock up on carbon and firewood."
Li Zheng was stunned when he heard that he wanted to build a house for pigs.
"Pigs still live in the house?"
"Well, pigs are raised scientifically and are clean and hygienic, so there is no smell when we live here!"
Although Li Zheng didn't know what Su Niyue meant by scientific pig raising, he understood that it was clean and hygienic and had no smell. "Okay, it works. No one cares about this mountain. Everyone in Liangzhou City knows it. If you level this mountain, no one will ask you."
"Why?"
"This is not the land of our Dayun Kingdom. There have been incidents in this mountain before. A few years ago, several people went hunting in the mountain and their legs were bitten off by wolves. Moreover, the wolves attracted by the smell of blood entered the village. First, the state The government sent officials to hunt down the wolves, injuring more than a dozen people. Later, the defenders sent hundreds of people to drive away the wolves.
Eh~ That wolf is so powerful! It even killed two defenders! Later, the state government posted a notice, whoever can drive away or kill the beast will be rewarded by the government! Moreover, it is seriously stated that this mountain does not belong to the Dayun Kingdom and can be privately No one cared about those who entered the mountain and were eaten by wild animals! After half a year of trouble, no one dared to enter the mountain anymore."
"Oh!" Su Niyue nodded: "Then if I go into the mountains and don't attract wild animals, will the government give me trouble?"
"No, it's too late for them to be happy before the wild beasts are driven away! If you can kill two wolves, you can still collect the reward!" If Li Zheng knew that Su Niyue had killed wolves, he didn't know what his expression would be.
"But it's been seven or eight days since we came here, and we haven't heard a wolf howl!"
"Hey, I haven't heard of it in the past two years. I wonder where the wolf came from that year!"
"Well, then I'll arrange for people to clear an open space in the next few days. Tomorrow the roof of the house in the middle of the mountain will be put on, and it will be August 15th. Uncle, I will arrange a few people to help tomorrow and give everyone a handout. Three kilograms of meat and ten kilograms of rice. Let them prepare rice bags tonight." Su Niyue was not reluctant to part with the bags, but she just wanted to warm them up in advance.
When Li Zheng heard that there was meat and rice, he immediately agreed with a smile on his face. "Hey, look at me, I was so confused that I forgot about August 15th!"
"After that, we will start building private houses on the outskirts. Uncle, when we start to build the house, we can let everyone know. Anyone who wants to live in the house can sign up in advance, and they will have priority after the house is built."
"Can we move in too?"
"sure!"
"No conditions?"
"Yes, as the saying goes, nothing is perfect without rules. If you want to live here, you must abide by the rules here. I will write down the conditions tomorrow and post them on the stone wall. You can consider them!"
"As long as you abide by the rules? Are there any additional requirements?"
"No, I just want to recruit more people to help me farm in the coming year. As you can see, there is such a large land in front of me waiting to be opened up!"
"Then do you have seeds?" Li Zheng's voice was trembling a little. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he was afraid that his dream was too good.
"Yes, I have!"
"Hey, it's great that we have both land and seeds. You don't know! We are so poor here that we don't even have the money to buy seeds. It's just what the land produces every year. Save some. Plant again next year." Li Zheng said with red eyes.
"Uncle, if you want to come, just come. If there is any work in the future, I will try to follow you closely. Don't be burdened. I am not trying to turn the people who come here into slaves of my family. It is purely an employment relationship and absolute equality. , you get paid according to your work, the more you work, the more you earn, and we have rewards during the New Year and holidays."
When Li Zheng heard this, let alone getting paid according to his work, even if he was willing to work as a long-term worker for her family, being a Li Zheng would not be a meal. As long as the whole family could have enough to eat, but according to Su Niyue's words, this Not only can we have enough to eat, but now the whole family will be able to earn wages. This life is simply amazing!
"Then the house will be built so that we can live in it for nothing?"
"My husband-in-law said that the first batch of residents will live for free forever, and the second batch will live for free in the first year, and will start charging some rent in the second year. After all, there are so many people living here, and the floors of the houses need to be repaired and maintained!" "Su Niyue also noticed that Li Zheng's family is very simple, and their purpose is very simple, as long as they can eat enough!
"That's great, you guys are really good people!" Old man Li Zheng was a little excited.
"We will build a school in the future. We have hired all the teachers. The children of those who work here can study and practice martial arts. They will also have the opportunity to go into business and make a lot of money in the future!" Whether the exiles are common people or criminals, They are all unable to take scientific examinations and join the army.
"Okay, okay..." Li Zheng said several times in succession. There is nothing more realistic than being able to have enough food. Moreover, in the future, not only will you have enough food, you will also have a house to live in, and you will also get wages!
"Uncle Li Zheng, there are many things to do in the future. I need talents. Please help me pay more attention."
"Okay, definitely!" Li Zheng's family is a local aboriginal and has spent his whole life digging for food in the dirt. Although his family's conditions are better than those of ordinary villagers, they are still often struggling.
After chatting with Su Niyue, Li Zheng had an idea in his mind. He thought that after taking a break from work in the evening, he would have a good discussion with his sons.
Su Niyue conveyed the message she wanted to convey and went to find Nangong Yunteng.
