I am engaged in construction in Datang

Chapter 108 There is a Village Called Shitouli

Yesterday the fireworks continued all night long, and today there is no noise in the village until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Everyone was still asleep when Li Yin was awakened by the system's explosive sound.

"What's wrong? What are you shaking for? The sky hasn't fallen yet."

[Remind the host, the Chinese Valentine's Day is just half a month away]

"Isn't there still half a month left?"

【System Mall Tanabata Discount】

Li Yin was shocked.

"You're already cheap enough, do you still want to sell yourself at a discount?"

【…】

[This discount is cancelled]

After a moment of silence, the system could no longer hold back and spoke.

[Host, what you are selling cheaply is the technology, not the system]

"Is there a difference?"

Li Yin was puzzled. It seemed that the system cared a lot about these things?

what!

"System, you still have a bad temper!"

【. 】

After that, no matter how Li Yin provoked, the system no longer responded.

When this happened before, Li Yin felt that the other party was aloof, but today, she felt that the other party was sulking.

"This little temper is quite stubborn..."

The noise stayed up too late yesterday, so Li Shimin and the others all stayed at the farm.

At the end, Li Shimin asked her if she really wanted to help Gaochang build the karez?

At that time, many tenants had gone home to rest. The glowing bonfire made the night seem extremely empty, with frogs croaking, cicadas chirping, and the heat and fragrance of flowers.

"why not?"

Li Yin asked the other party: "Building a karez is not a small project. It will take several years. Moreover, Gaochang has been the territory of our Tang Dynasty since ancient times. We built the karez for the people under our rule, so that the people don't have to fight for a drink of water. How can this be called aiding the enemy?"

Everyone: "..."

Master Li has always been so shameless!

"..." Li Jing was shocked and his three views were refreshed.

He finally understood why the emperor admired Master Li so much. It seemed that every word of Master Li touched the heart of the emperor!

What to do? He now inexplicably wanted to praise Master Li.

As a military commander, the most attractive thing to him is to expand territory. What Master Li said is equivalent to telling them directly to sharpen their swords and not to slack off, because they will soon have to make achievements again.

How could he not be excited?

Why do I like Master Li more and more the more I look at him?

It's hot in summer and the house is like a steamer.

After Li Yin was woken up by the system, she couldn't fall asleep. Chinese Valentine's Day was coming soon, and she had to make some preparations for it.

The system mall was having a discount, and she didn’t know how much cheaper it would be, but she would be satisfied with a 50% to 60% discount.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just more fun to get the best deal.

"System, how much reputation do I have now?"

【】

Li Yin shook her head and sighed: "I can't spend it all. I can't spend it all at all."

【. 】

The traditional story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl also needs to be adapted. How can the Weaver Girl stay and become the Cowherd's wife just because he was peeped at while she was taking a bath?

Now that Sister Xiaochun is back, there is no shortage of wool, and the woolen yarn factory has to be expanded.

Nowadays, the women working in woolen mills are either widows or have escaped. Only a small number of them come out to work because of their old age or because their families are in financial difficulty.

The literati outside mocked and ridiculed this place as a kiln for fallen widows, but of course, they didn't dare to call it that in front of the women.

There are also windows that she asked Engineer Wang to leave when she built the house. Now that glass has been installed and there are so many mosquitoes in the summer, it's time to install them.

I don’t know what happened to Mr. Wang.

Li Yin glanced at the screen and saw Wang Erya still sleeping soundly on the small bed behind it.

……

Hebei Province, at the foot of Madu Mountain in Yingzhou. (Liaoning area, belonging to Guandong, suffered a severe drought this autumn)

The terrain here is steep and the environment is harsh, but fortunately there is a large county called Qinglong in the distance, so the people in the valley can barely survive.

As for being well fed and well clothed and not dying, that is impossible.

"The water is getting shallower and shallower..." An old man with a mandarin jacket draped over his shoulders squatted by the Lushui River, with a lingering haze in his eyes.

"Is there really going to be a drought?"

His village was in the Madu Mountain. In addition to drawing water from wells, ordinary people relied on the Lushui River for water. It took everyone forty or fifty miles to get to the river.

But no matter how far it is, having water is good.

A few days ago, the county magistrate suddenly visited and forced people to serve and dig a well, a big well at that.

Of course the people were not happy. The water in the well was deep and the project was huge. The sun was too strong and people could easily die.

But I don’t know what happened this time, so many benefits were given.

So those who didn't have to serve in the army insisted on going to help, just as long as they were given food. The food was so delicious, and he had only tasted it a few times in his life.

The old man likes to travel around, and his favorite thing to do is to go to the Lushui River to catch fish and crabs. He could tell at a glance that the Lushui River had become shallower this time.

"If we go into autumn and winter, it will be cold and dry, and the crops will have no harvest. How can we survive?"

"Can a big well really be dug?" The old man picked up a stone and threw it hard.

Since the lake was not calm, the stone bounced on the water twice and then sank.

"Father-in-law——!"

A group of people were walking towards us from a distance, and they all looked strong men.

The old man stared at the person who came, quietly picked up the hoe beside him, and ran away when he saw that something was not right.

"Father-in-law, how do we get to Shitouli Village?" Zhao Feng led his villagers, followed by Wang Gong and the guards, and traveled through mountains and rivers to get here.

This place is under the jurisdiction of a county called Qinglong County, but it is far away from the county. (Qinglong County has been passed down to this day, and due to the uneven distribution of precipitation, some places are prone to drought)

According to the county magistrate, the entire Shitouli Village was like being hidden in a rock. There were no usable resources around it, and life there was very difficult.

"What are you doing in the stone?" The old man's eyes were full of vigilance, because he was in the stone!

"We are from the government, helping to build the biogas digester."

"Oh, a biogas tank!" The old man pretended to be suddenly enlightened. He glanced at the group of men, there were at least thirty or forty of them.

There can be no conflict.

What is a biogas digester? He has never heard of it!

"Do you have the documents from the government?" the old man asked casually.

"Yes!"

Zhao Feng took out the letter from his arms, unfolded it, and pointed at the official seal on it: "Look, it's official."

The old man didn't understand at all. He stretched out his hand to take it, but Zhao Feng took two steps back.

"Father, you can't just take it casually."

"Oh." The old man glanced at them and compared them with the men in the village.

"I am in the stone. I will take you there." After saying that, the old man turned around and left with his hoe.

Zhao Feng and his group followed behind him.

"Old Zhao, why do I feel that this old man has bad intentions?" Wang Dahai tugged at Zhao Feng's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"I think so too, but we can't just wander around here, right?"

Zhao Feng said this and glanced at the bailiffs from Qinglong County Office who came with him: "Don't you remember the way to your own village in the county?"

The yamen runner also felt wronged: "How many times can I come to this deep mountain valley in my lifetime?"

"Normally they come to the county to pay taxes and buy things. If there's anything, it's the old yamen runners who come. I'm a newcomer, I know nothing!"

"You know, the old yamen runners are all in charge of that big well..."

Wang Dahai and his group: "..."

The flood simply flushed the Dragon King Temple.

The few of them walked for half a day before they arrived at the stone when it was dark.

The old man saw that the village was not far away, so he threw away his hoe and ran away when no one was paying attention.

As he ran, he shouted, "A group of wild men came from outside the village!"

"Looking for it in the stone!"
