The news has spread throughout the city that if you come to Lord Zhou Yi to do corvee work to build the city wall, you can drink fine grain porridge.
Regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, able-bodied or disabled, all those who could work came to the city wall construction site.
Zhou Yi did not reject anyone who came to work.
Zhou Yi assigned women and the elderly and infirm to the logistics support team, responsible for cooking for everyone. The younger children were assigned to collect firewood.
Others with stronger labor force were assigned to dig soil, bake bricks, and build city walls.
As for those people who had no labor force, like the people Zhou Yi met when he first entered the city, Zhou Yi also sent people to deliver white porridge and pickled mustard to them in the spirit of humanitarianism.
In addition, Zhouyi also paid wages to these corvees once every ten days.
This salary is naturally nothing but nothing.
As long as there is a record of working here in Zhouyi, the calculation is based on one catty per day for adults and half a catty per day for children.
If you have a large family, you can earn four to five kilograms of white rice a day. In ten days, that is forty or fifty kilograms.
It was Zhou Yi's righteous deeds that made everyone in Pingliang County feel grateful. All the men, women and children working on the construction site were in full swing.
In the past few days, Zhou Yi had been busy arranging the work of more than a thousand men, women, and children, and had hardly had much rest. Now seeing these people on the construction site doing things in an orderly manner, Zhou Yi was deeply relieved.
When Qian Captou saw that the county magistrate, Zhou Yi, had worked so hard for the people of the city, he felt very guilty.
So he ordered someone to build a canopy to provide shade and brought a deck chair.
Qian Yong walked up to Zhou Yi and said sadly: "Sir, I really can't bear to see you working so hard. You can just supervise in the shade. I can't bear the responsibility of exhausting you!" "
Seeing the orderly construction site and batches of bricks being fired, Zhou Yi felt that he should take a rest, so he lay on the recliner and said to Qian Captou: "Qian Captou, you can't be careless about this brick-burning thing. , this is not a simple brick, but a life safety guarantee for our people."
"Yes, the villain will definitely live up to the trust of the adults." After saying this, Qian Yong led others to check the quality of the burned city bricks.
In fact, even if Zhou Yi did not pay for the arrest, all the people in the city who participated in the construction of the city wall would consciously control the quality of the city bricks.
After all, this is also related to their own life safety.
As soon as Zhou Yi lay down, a breeze blew from his side. Zhou Yi looked sideways and saw that his confidant Yang Xiu was fanning him beside him.
"Yang Xiu, you have worked hard these days. If you have nothing to do, just go and rest by yourself. There is no need to fan me."
"Master..."
"Oh, no~ Master, you're not tired, it's hot. I'll give you a fan."
Despite Zhou Yi's repeated dissuasion, Yang Xiu still insisted on fanning himself at the side. Seeing that he could not be warned, Zhou Yi could only let him go.
"System, check personal attributes!" Zhou Yi thought to himself.
In an instant, the system panel appeared in Zhou Yi's eyes.
Host: Zhouyi
Sex: Male
Money: 17 taels of silver
Popularity value: 1937/3000 (can be drawn for 3 times)
System warehouse: 3/7 (upgradeable)
Current supplies: rice, Fuling mustard, Yunnan Baiyao.
Zhou Yi's popularity suddenly broke through the three levels of one hundred, five hundred and one thousand because he could give the corvees "unlimited refills" of white porridge.
Zhou Yi also got three more opportunities to continue the lottery.
But it’s not that easy to break through the next lottery mark.
The expected number of people who can win the lottery next time has reached 3,000. You must know that there are not so many people of all ages in Pingliang County combined.
It can really be said that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw!
It is good to have more people, but now Zhou Yi can't care about this. He only hopes that with the concerted efforts of the people of Pingliang County, the city wall to protect their safety will be repaired as soon as possible.
"System, start the lottery!"
The familiar big turntable appeared in front of Zhou Yi again.
Zhou Yi took a look at the prizes in this lottery. The contents were the same as last time. Most of them were grains and vegetable crops.
The Soviet Republican Will (AK47) that Zhou Yi always wanted did not appear among the prizes on the carousel this time.
However, there is a big killer weapon that Zhou Yi can use now in this lottery wheel - excavator.
"Damn it! This is okay too."
Although Zhou Yi never went to Lanxiang to learn excavator technology, in this information age, Zhou Yi has watched Douyin.
You must know that excavator technical teaching is also one of the speed bumps for men.
Every time Zhou Yi came across the excavator teaching technique, he looked at it very seriously. Therefore, Zhou Yi was confident that if he got this excavator, he would never drive it into the ditch.
"The sky is moving, the earth is moving, the system dad is showing up!"
"The sky is moving, the earth is moving, the system dad is showing up!"
"The sky is moving, the earth is moving, the system dad is showing up!"
…
According to the experience of drawing Yunnan Baiyao last time, Zhou Yi first silently prayed to the system father.
"Start the lottery."
"stop."
But this time Zhou Yi was not as lucky as last time. In the first draw, he only got potato seeds.
Although potato seeds are one of the must-have artifacts for time travellers, at this stage, Zhouyi already has ready-made rice, so it is really useless to draw potato seeds.
Zhou Yi started the second lottery draw, and this time he still didn't get the excavator he was thinking about. This time he only got water.
"I'm sorry, you're such a cheating system, I want this water to be of no use. Water is not available everywhere!"
It was such a good lottery opportunity that he actually got such a useless thing. At this moment, Zhou Yi thought that this system was produced by Nanshan Pizza Hut.
The most important thing is that Zhou Yi thinks this thing takes up space. The initial space of the system is not much, only 7 grids. Now this very common water actually takes up a grid of Zhou Yi's warehouse space.
If possible, Zhou Yi really doesn't want this water!
Zhou Yi no longer had any hope for the third lottery, so he casually called start and stop.
The lottery wheel started spinning and then stopped.
Zhou Yi casually glanced at where the lottery wheel pointer rested.
"It's definitely not an excavator!"
But when Zhou Yi saw the prizes obtained in the third lottery, Zhou Yi immediately changed from lack of interest to excitement.
Because what Zhou Yi picked up this time turned out to be cement, the food of the construction industry.
"Cement, hahahahahaha, I actually got cement." Zhou Yi lay on the recliner and kept smiling.
Although Yang Xiu, who was gently fanning Zhou Yi, didn't know why his master was so happy suddenly, he thought it was not a bad thing.
