"Ruoxue..."

"If it's inconvenient to say, don't say it"

Leng Zejin was about to talk to Leng Ruoxue who was sitting in the main room when Leng Ruoxue interrupted him.

"These four people are my father's friends. They encountered some problems and want to hide here for a while, so we discussed and decided to let these four people be your guards."

"Higher than you?"

Leng Zejin nodded. Why did this girl seem to know everything?

"How many soldiers did you bring back this time?"

"40, what's wrong?"

"You stay with four, and the rest will help me with the work."

Leng Zejin:……

"Where?"

"Back Mountain"

"I'll keep two and give you two to watch the door."

Leng Zejin looked at Leng Ruoxue helplessly.

"Okay, let them rest for a while, and then they will go up the mountain to help me with the work."

Leng Zejin opened the door and spoke to the soldier at the door. Before he finished speaking, he saw a maid coming with the soldier.

"General, Madam asked me to come and serve the young lady."

"Except my father and Uncle Liu, no one is allowed to enter my yard."

Leng Ruoxue gave Leng Zejin a cold look.

"Listen to the young lady, give me your clothes."

Leng Zejin took the clothes and said, "Watch the door."

After closing the door, "Ruoxue..."

"Tell them to come to the front to wash up, I'll go to the back."

Leng Ruoxue took a basin, filled it with some water, and saw four people walking out of the hut.

“You can use the four rooms in the front at will.”

Leng Ruoxue went into the thatched hut by herself.

I went to Space 2 to take a shower and change clothes, then told my mother about the situation. Then I went to Space to take a look and saw that the cement had already been burned.

I took out a little bit, mixed it with water and put it in the yard to dry.

"Ruoxue, it's time to eat"

Leng Zejin shouted.

Leng Ruoxue came over and saw that her father had changed into clean clothes and the four of them had also changed into soldiers' armor.

"Miss!"

The four of them saluted Leng Ruoxue.

Leng Ruoxue looked at the four people. It would be strange if they could get away with this disguise.

"Let's all sit down and eat together!"

The four of them were stunned. Can the guards have dinner with the young lady?

The three of them looked at the short guard, and the short guard looked at Leng Zejin.

"Since you are my guard, you have to do whatever I say, General Leng, what do you say?"

Leng Zejin was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I will listen to the eldest lady."

"Let's eat!"

The six hungry people ate up all the food on the table.

"I'll go find the village chief... Never mind, Dad, can you please ask the village chief to come over?"

Leng Zejin: Can I say it’s inconvenient?

"Even though you four have changed your clothes, you are still a little bit behind. Shave your beards and sit still. I will trim your eyebrows for you."

......

Leng Ruoxue looked at her work with satisfaction.

The bearded man shaved his beard, trimmed his eyebrows, and covered both sides of his face with armor, changing his image drastically.

The delicate one has wider eyebrows and raised corners of the eyes, which makes him look a little silly.

Those with small eyes were given double eyelids.

The young man's skin became much darker, his nose became flatter, and his eyebrows became thicker...

Leng Zejin was stunned when he saw Leng Yi to Leng Si.

If it weren't for their body shapes, I really wouldn't be able to tell which is which.

"Miss, General, Village Chief, drink some water"

The short man Leng Yi served tea to the three of them.

General Leng's hand trembled as he took the tea.

"Grandpa Village Chief, this is what I want to do. I want to build a road on the mountain. Is there anyone in the village willing to come? It's 20 cents per section, and two meals are provided."

"What does 20 wen per paragraph mean?"

The village chief also hopes that the villagers can find more jobs.

Although every household now has 100 kilograms of brown rice, the harvest season is still three months away, so it is not certain how much can be harvested.

"As long as you complete the tasks I set and meet the requirements, you can get 20 cents, no matter how many people do it."

"Mountain roads are difficult to repair. We villagers don't have tools, so we can't even move the stones."

The village chief did not agree rashly.

"Well, the village chief and I will go with you to have a look. If you think it can be done, please arrange for someone to help me with the statistics. I will pay 60 coins a day for each person doing the statistics. I will also pay 10 aunties to help with the cooking, 30 coins a day."

"Okay, I'll go and take a look."

The village chief took a sip of water and prepared to follow.

"Leng Yi, the four of you, come with me to get the tools. Dad, go get the people who are going to work for me."

The father who carried the microphone turned around and went out to call for help.

Leng Ruoxue took the people to the cellar and said, "You guys continue upstairs."

He took out the axe, hammer, shovel and basket he had prepared from the space.

Leng Yi: So many iron tools?

Leng Er: What kind of tool is this piece of iron connected to a stick?

Leng San: Why is this axe pointed on one side and square on the other?

Leng Si: You’ve prepared so many tools. Have you taken the four of us into account?

The tools were taken out, one for each person and two more, even Leng Ruoxue and Leng Zejin got some.

The man holding the tools followed Leng Ruoxue up the mountain.

"Ruoxue, someone has bought this mountain"

Leng Zejin reminded Leng Ruoxue.

“Yes, I bought it.”

Leng Zejin:……

village head:…….

It took an hour to reach the place designated by Leng Ruoxue.

"You level this land, each person will be paid 50 coins a day, with three meals provided. Today, you will be paid for half a day, and one meal will be provided in the evening."

"It does not conflict with your military pay."

Leng Ruoxue's words stunned the soldiers. Is there such a good thing?

"Okay, let's get to work!"

Leng Zejin spoke up and said that he really didn't know anything about his daughter.

"Grandpa Village Chief, follow me."

Leng Ruoxue took the village chief to the road construction site.

"From here to here is one section, Leng Si, you drive four stakes at the four corners."

"These are all rocks, how can we repair them?"

"The stones are piled up on both sides to build walls. They don't need to be very strong. I will arrange people to reinforce them later, clear out the stones, and level the road surface."

"Leng Yi, go get 10 people to come over and finish this part first."

Leng Yi called 10 soldiers over. The soldiers were strong and soon finished what Leng Ruoxue asked.

The uneven ground was paved with gravel, and the protruding parts were hammered with hammers.

"This is a physically demanding job, and people with less strength can't do it."

The village chief felt that it was not so easy to get the 20 cents per section.

"This kind of heavy work can be done by strong laborers. Leveling the ground can be done by the elderly and children, but it will be slower. That's why I thought of calculating it by sections. This way, a family can do the work together."

"The young men should clear the big rocks, and the women or children can take care of the small rocks and the ground."

"That's fine, but why isn't the road built from the bottom of the mountain?"

The village chief was puzzled.

"Well...it takes time to reinforce both sides, and the road surface as well. You can't step on it while it's being reinforced."

This is what Leng Ruoxue thought.

"Okay, I got it. I'll tell everyone about this later. But I don't have as many tools at home as you do."
