Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

The brick kiln in the village is already usable, and the village chief has designated several people to be responsible for making bricks. Leng Ruoxue asked them to make a mound of earth to test the temperature before the kiln can be used.

Check the color of the bricks through the observation hole to test the condition of the bricks after they come out of the oven.

Although the kiln has not been opened, the experience is accumulated. After several people's experiments, they have basically mastered the circumstances under which the bricks are not burned through and when they are overburned.

We chose an auspicious day and started the kiln.

Leng Ruoxue had a good rest in the villa for two days. During these two days, she made a plan for the village, and many materials for the construction of the villa took shape.

She also found time to make a crystal chandelier.

Since there was no glass, crystal was used instead. A total of four crystal lamps were made. Since the amount of electrical wires was limited, three were installed in the three courtyards of the main courtyard and one in the hall.

The electricity is generated by wind power and stored in simple batteries, which is no problem for four light bulbs.

Liu Datong, a hunter, was placed in the position of general manager by Leng Ruoxue. After the initial busy period, he became adept at managing the villa.

It feels like I have found the direction of my life and I am full of energy every day.

When he was in the valley, he learned a lot of words from Leng Yuxuan, and also broadened his horizons in the county town.

After becoming the chief steward, he had to take time out every day to learn to read.

Leng Ruoxue replaced the complicated Chinese numbers with Arabic numerals.

He is also very proficient in using the multiplication table.

Ever since the lights in the hall were turned on, Manager Liu would go to the hall to study until late at night every night. He didn't dare use the lights in Chunyuan as they were prepared for the young master.

Si Leng also likes the bright hall at night, and everyone in the villa likes it.

Leng Ruoxue converted the lobby of the villa into a night school.

As long as it is not on duty, you can go and learn.

The accountant who was bought later acted as a guest teacher, and Leng Ruoxue paid the accountant the salary of a teacher.

The people in the villa are also very active in learning. They are the first group of people in the villa. It would be a shame if they don’t work hard and are replaced by those who come later.

The status of the villa is earned by oneself. Everyone has multiple duties. Some positions will be replaced by people who buy the positions later. Those who fail to do their job well will also be replaced.

Being able to eat enough, live in a big house, and have a kind master is like heaven for those who are forced to sell themselves because of hunger and fear.

The people in Lengjia Village were busy as hell. When the income from the crops in the fields was not guaranteed, they tried to earn every penny they could.

Earn money and store food so you won’t have a hard time in winter.

No one would miss such a good opportunity to make money.

The brick kiln is oval in shape. The adobe bricks are stacked and sealed, and then the next bricks are stacked and sealed. After half of the kiln has been stacked, the firing begins. In this way, the fire at the back can continue while the bricks fired in the front are cooled and transported out.

The need for firewood and adobe bricks was endless.

So there is no one hanging around in the village. Everyone gets up before dawn to work and rests only after dark.

The money for the brick kiln is settled every 10 days.

With Leng Zejin's food sponsorship and the grain saved from building the mountain road, every family had food reserves. For a family that did well, earning two kilograms of rice a day was more than enough.

Even those who don't have much strength can still make a pound of rice in a few days.

Better than digging wild vegetables.

So even though there was such a big commotion at the villa, no one in Lengjia Village noticed it.

Leng Ruoxue asked Leng Zejin to arrange for the soldiers brought back to build roads, and the village's sewers and water pipes had to be laid first.

Originally, Leng Ruoxue said that the houses blocking the road should not be demolished for the time being. However, after the village chief looked at the planning map of Lengjia Village, he decided to demolish the houses blocking the road.

Leng Ruoxue had no choice but to contribute her original residence, and even requisitioned Uncle Liu's residence.

Si Leng finally realized that the material used for paving roads is called cement.

It looks like grey mud when water is added and becomes very hard when it dries.

Whispering with Leng Zejin from time to time.

The cement for paving the road is transported from the villa's warehouse, and its use is supervised every day by people arranged by Manager Liu.

The villa's warehouse is also made of cement and is guarded 24 hours a day.

In the end, Si Leng and Leng Zejin stole them one handful at a time from the construction site.

The half-stored bag of cement was secretly sent away.

Leng Ruoxue: If you want it, just tell me. I can still afford one bag. Why steal?

Ever since Leng Ruoxue said that Xiayuan would belong to Si Leng from now on, Leng Yi began to arrange the yard.

Leng Yi really disliked the simple furniture in the villa, but it was comfortable and practical and he was reluctant to give it up.

In the end, I made a luxurious version based on the furniture in the villa.

After Leng Ruoxue read it, she felt it was very good, so she asked Leng Yi to help her make three sets and also put forward her own suggestions for revision.

Leng Yi had no choice but to order 4 more sets.

He also requested electric lights in his yard.

Leng Ruoxue took the opportunity to blackmail 20 crystal chandeliers.

Some copper wires, some imitation silver wires,...something.

A total of 12 light bulbs were used in the three courtyards of the main courtyard, 6 light bulbs were used in the summer courtyard, one light bulb was used in the restaurant of the villa, and one light bulb was used in the gate of the villa.

Leng Ruoxue gritted her teeth and paid for Leng Yi to order 20 of them.

The remaining five courtyards were each equipped with a street lamp in the main hall, the four corners of the main courtyard were equipped with street lamps, the Beauty Courtyard and the Gentleman Courtyard where the servants lived were each equipped with one, and four street lamps were installed on the four sides of the outer villa, and the rest were kept as spare.

The road in the village was repaired. Because the residential land Leng Zejin bought was large and not in the center of the village, he paid for Leng Ruoxue to build a section of the road alone.

I just realized that the price of cement is very low.

Leng Yi's letter was sent out again.

"Grandpa, I want to build a house for the village as soon as possible"

Leng Ruoxue was a little worried. If they had to move and repair every house, the process would be too slow.

There is still so much work waiting to be done in the fields, and the quality of the pork we buy also needs to be improved. Oh, there are too many things to do.

"How can I support you, Grandpa?"

The village chief is more looking forward to the new village than Leng Ruoxue.

"The bricks are almost ready, the beams and timber have been ordered, the tiles have also been ordered, and we are just waiting to demolish the house. I want to get more builders to come, and try to build one house a day."

The yards are of a fixed size, with two master bedrooms next to the main hall, three side rooms, a kitchen, and a courtyard wall. Villagers with more residential land will receive subsidies from the cooperative, while those with less residential land will have the subsidies deducted from their dividends in the future.

The yards are numbered, and seats are determined by drawing lots, or you can change seats yourself.

You don’t have to pay for it first, you can live in a big brick and tile house, and you can get money for work, who would refuse?

The next day, huts were built one by one in the threshing ground, and families began to move in one by one.

Leng Ruoxue asked any of the four Lengs to ride as fast as possible to the provincial capital to ask for the team to build houses for the villa. The soldiers then began to dismantle the houses, transport the garbage, and deliver the materials.

Cement roads are convenient, and they are convenient for both pushing carts and using ox carts.

The construction team arrived two days later.

By the time the construction team settled down, the foundation of one yard had been dug, and the foundation of the back was also being dug.

The whole village was mobilized, except for those working in the brick kiln, who were paid 20 cents a day, with food provided.

Leng Ruoxue even cut off the power to the villa and pulled over the batteries. With four bright light bulbs, she worked around the clock.
