I am engaged in construction in Datang

The old man ran very fast and rushed into the village in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, you don't want your hoe anymore, it's made of iron!" Zhao Feng was dumbfounded, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Mr. Wang, how about we go over and take a look?"

Wang Dahai agreed, and the guards around him all became alert. This village didn't seem to be a good place.

Zhao Feng picked up the hoe that the old man dropped and planned to give it to him.

There are narrow paths here and cars cannot enter. Only oxen can carry goods and people have to carry bamboo baskets. The group walks slowly and clumsily.

“There are people living in this desolate place.”

"In times of chaos, everyone hides in the mountains to avoid disasters. Once they build a house and have children, their relatives, friends and sisters-in-law are all here, so it's even harder to leave."

Wang Dahai sighed: "People are worthless when they leave their hometown. Where can you go after leaving here? Besides, there is no job to make money in this poor place. It's not easy for anyone to save enough money to send this kid away."

He had left his hometown, and he couldn't tell anyone how it felt.

The walls of this village are mainly made of clay and hay, while the windows and doors are made of wood. It is cold in the north, and if you build a wooden shed with a thatched roof, you will not be able to survive the winter.

"Is anyone there? We were sent by the government to build a biogas digester for you guys!"

Zhao Feng shouted a few more times, but no one responded.

Inside a house in Shitouli Village.

"Village head, these people are rich." The old man looked out through the small window: "I followed them all the way, and their dry biscuits were mixed with white flour! And the dried meat they ate..."

"There are five cows!" The old man stretched out his fingers hard to make his palm look bigger.

"They said they were sent by the government?"

"That's what they said. There's also a document, but I can't understand it." The old man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether there is a document or not. We don't know them. They are just robbing the village."

As he said this, the old man spat, "I wanted to take the document away, but they wouldn't give it to me."

The village head thought for a moment and was a little moved: "I'm afraid the government will send people to mess with us."

"Village head, the Lushui River is getting shallower and shallower, and the water in the well is about to dry up. What should we do as we head into autumn and winter? No matter if the government comes to get us, let's first make some big money and buy some good things to get through the winter."

The old man grinned again and said, "Besides, they took my hoe, so they should at least give me some compensation!"

"If the government officials come, I will insist that they stole my hoe, which is made of iron!"

There was a loud laugh: "You are such a fool, you have used all your tricks to do this."

"I'll take your advice. Let's arrest them first and see if they have any valuables." The village head said, "We won't kill them, we'll just take their things. If something goes wrong, we'll return them."

"If nothing works, we can just hide in the woods. Who knows this place better than us?"

He did what he said. He went out of the house with his back bent, and then he knocked on every door to notify people.

When he ran back before, he shouted several times that Ye Fu was coming, and now every household is waiting for him!

At the entrance of the village, Wang Dahai and his group walked in.

"Old Zhao, why do I have a bad feeling?" As soon as Wang Dahai finished speaking, he saw a large group of villagers running towards them with rakes, hoes, sickles and rolling pins.

Men, women, young and old, anyone with a little energy came.

The man in the lead looked very fierce.

“What the hell…” Zhao Feng was stunned. He quickly threw the bamboo basket on his back to the ground and shouted, “Run! Run! Run!”

……

Chang'an City, Library.

The glass factory produced a batch of glass windows with green heads. Although they were not as bright as transparent glass windows, they were much better than paper windows.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun hid in a private room he rented on the fourth floor to watch the fun.

He had seen glass before, but this was the first time he had seen one as big as a window. The mere thought of it made him feel magical.

At this time, the library was silent. The common people and students who were studying there did not know that they needed to install glass windows, and of course they did not know what glass was.

"Uncle Sanxi, have the hinges on the sides of this window been tested?" Li Yin sat on the ox cart, holding the two large glass windows with both hands.

I had wanted to use sliding windows before, but without plastic or rubber, the window edging could not be made light, and the steel pulleys would easily rust when exposed to water, making repairs difficult.

It’s better to make do with it for now and wait for development to take place.

"I've tested it. I can't say it can be used for several years, but there shouldn't be any problems within two to three years." Feng Sanxi drove a ox cart with a straw hat on his head.

"When that doesn't work, just change the axis."

There are many windows in the library. Li Yin and Feng Sanxi were the first to arrive, followed by several ox carts.

When they arrived at the library entrance, they got off the car.

Li Yin didn't have enough strength, so Feng Sanxi went to the library to find a man, and the two of them moved the window down together.

"Manager Feng, what's hidden in this black cloth?"

"It's quite heavy." The man weighed it again and it felt like wood.

"Or you can guess?"

Manager Feng smiled and said, "If you can guess it, go to the library and pick two books to take away. Consider them as gifts from me to you."

"really?!"

"Of course it is real." This is not difficult to guess. If you think about it more, you will know that it is a window. It’s just that no one would have thought that this window is transparent.

"Then I'll have to think about it carefully."

While the man was lost in thought, several ox carts came up one after another, and the tenants took down the windows and placed them against the wall.

They are all covered with black cloth, which is very mysterious.

"Could it be a table?" the man guessed when he saw so many black squares.

"Is the table so light?" Feng Sanxi pointed to the remaining windows on both sides of the library door and gave a hint.

"So it's the window!" The man understood immediately and said with a smile: "Manager Feng, is this what I guessed?"

"Of course it counts." Feng Sanxi said with a smile: "I didn't say anything."

"Then I'll shamelessly go and choose!" The man clasped his fists excitedly. He didn't expect that he could get two books just by doing a small favor.

After all the windows were pulled in, cement and blue bricks were also pulled in, and nails, hammers and other tools were prepared one by one.

"The people who were reading in the windows on the first floor have all dispersed. The library needs to install windows!"

As soon as he shouted, all the students ran to the second floor to study.

Li Yin lifted the black cloth covering the windows and picked out the two largest glass windows.

"Huh!" Some sharp-eyed people immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"What is this?"

He rubbed his eyes, blinked twice, and rubbed them again.

At this moment, the sun was shining on the glass, and the light suddenly reflected back. He was so scared that he immediately pinched the man next to him.

"What are you doing?" The man felt pain and glared at him angrily.

"No, no, look at that window! Is there something on that window?"

He stammered, and then added, "It's not completely invisible. It's a little green. Take a quick look."

The man squinted his eyes and looked in the direction he pointed.
