The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Comfortable days pass quickly.

Su Tang also had no idea what happened to Marquis Dingbei after he returned to Beijing.

Anyway, Qi Lingheng asked Su Tang to release Qi Feng twice in winter, probably to pass on the message to Kyoto.

Qi Lingheng didn't say anything and Su Tang didn't ask either, and they just lived their farm life like this.

With the arrival of spring, the land in the village needs to be reclaimed and planted, so Su Tang does not plan to ask the villagers for help for the time being.

Besides, there are about a hundred people in her space. If she lets them do the work, they can do it faster than the farmers.

However, since there were suddenly so many strong men in the village, Su Tang still had to ask Old Man Su to tell the village chief to prevent the villagers from panicking.

After learning that these people would not enter the village and only live in the mountains, the village chief still instructed Old Man Su to keep an eye on those outsiders.

If anything happens, he will report it to the county.

Therefore, after the spring, Su Tang took more than one hundred Qi family cavalrymen and a dozen secret guards and began to tidy up the valley.

The weeds in the valley had been almost cleared years ago, and now Su Tang was directing everyone to start building houses.

These people are staying here under the pretext of living and working, so they have to build houses first.

Of course, Su Tang had made an appointment with Master Zheng and others before the New Year, and Su Tang also invited them to Dahe Village in advance.

After all, they are the most professional when it comes to building houses.

The houses built by Su Tang are not just for living, they also have to be comfortable.

As for the vacant land at the foot of the mountain, Su Tang has no plans to build a house there for the time being.

Master Zheng and others felt a little regretful when they learned that Su Tang did not plan to build a house on the vacant land.

Many of the contents of the design drawings that Su Tang had given them before were not available in this era.

They really wanted to see the day when they could make what Su Tang had drawn.

"It's okay. The houses in the valley will also have the items on the design drawings." Su Tang smiled and comforted Master Zheng and the others.

After hearing this, Master Zheng and his companions smiled again.

"Hahaha, that's good. We just want to see what that thing looks like when it's made."

Imagining it based on drawings and seeing the real thing are two completely different concepts.

"These villagers look so strong." When Master Zheng and his companions arrived at the valley, they saw the Qi family army busy in the valley and said in surprise.

Although these Qi family soldiers were all wearing ordinary farmers' clothes at this time, they were much stronger than ordinary people.

His arms, which had been swinging spears and swords for years, showed off their muscles in an amazing way.

Although it was only early spring, some people were already wearing thin clothes, some even rolled up their sleeves, and started working.

They have been fighting on the northern border all year round, and Dahe Village is already very warm for them.

"Hehe, these are the laborers I hired from other places. They usually carry packages at the dock all year round. Of course, their bodies look different from those of ordinary farmers." Su Tang explained with a smile.

Of course, she couldn't reveal the true identities of these people. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary person to order these military officers around.

There is another reason why the true identities of these soldiers cannot be revealed to the outside world. After all, they are the Qi family army. These people do not return to the barracks, but stay in the mountains instead. It is easy for some people to use this as an excuse to impeach Marquis Dingbei and implicate her and the Su family as well.

Therefore, the identities of these people are now dock laborers hired by her.

Well, these hard laborers have rosy complexions, without a trace of sadness on their faces, and they don’t seem to be suffering that much.

Of course, Su Tang also told Qi Lingheng about this. Qi Lingheng said that he had asked someone to help these people get new identities and household registrations, and they would be delivered soon.

"The house is built here. There is a deep pool of water. I thought of building a waterwheel here to bring water to the second floor of the house. This way, the running water problem in the house will also be solved."

Su Tang pointed to the high ground in front and gestured that the deep pool was not far from this place. It would not be difficult to bring water over with a few bamboo pipes.

As for water wheels, they already existed in this era, but they needed to be pulled by mules or oxen to operate, so they were not widely used.

"Master Zheng, I'll find a few people to help you. Although they don't know how to build a house, they are very strong. Let them help you build the house faster."

"Okay, no problem." Master Zheng and others nodded in agreement.

The most important thing now is to build a house. With so many people busy on the mountain, it is not convenient for Su Tang to bring all the Qi family troops back to the space.

Besides, Master Zheng and his people also need a place to stay.

So they first rushed to build a few wooden houses next to the hillside for everyone to live in temporarily.

With more people working together, work can be done faster. In just one day, two large wooden houses were built.

The villagers found out that the Su family had invited other people to build the house.

Many families went to the village chief because they could not earn this money.

"The Su family is now reclaiming the valley. Don't you want to plant the land at home? Do you want to starve to death in winter?

After last year's autumn harvest, grain taxes have already increased significantly.

If everyone does not take good care of their own land this year, by the time the grain tax is paid in the fall, many families may not even have enough grain left for next year.

So how are we going to get through this winter?"

After hearing what the village chief said, those who came to look for him all went back with their heads hung.

Indeed, farming is their foundation, and they are also counting on good weather this year so that they can harvest more food from the fields.

Some people were unhappy. Some of the farmers who were not hired by the Su family last year began to become unhappy.

They didn't make any money last year, and this year, seeing that no one in the village was hired by the Su family, they started to gloat and make sarcastic remarks.

Li Fuxiu was the first person to bring up this topic, "Oh... This year, the Su family doesn't want anyone to work for them. It seems that everyone worked for them last year, but in the end, they didn't leave a good impression...

People have started looking for someone outside this year...

Last year, everyone was speaking well of his family. This flattery really hit the horse's buttocks..."

After hearing what Li Fuxiu said, although no one said anything, everyone felt uncomfortable in their hearts as if a thorn had been pierced.

Most families in the village benefited from the Su family last year, so after hearing this, many people did not agree, but just smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

But not everyone has good intentions. While washing clothes at home, Liu Cuicui echoed Li Fuxiu, "Yes, can't the Su family wait until the autumn harvest to ask the villagers for help like last year?"

Seeing someone following her lead, Li Fuxiu glanced at Liu Cuicui and said with a smile, "Yes, it's true. Otherwise, what Doctor Su's family did was a little unkind.

Look, who doesn't take care of their own land in the spring? If I go to help them, there will be no one to do the work in the fields. If the harvest is not good in autumn, what will everyone eat..."
