Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Seeing this, Li Tianze took out a brand new handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to him, "Wipe it with this."

Li Tianming smiled awkwardly, took the handkerchief from him, and wiped his face.

Leng Youran didn't rush to speak, but instead looked at the surrounding buildings. "This place was built very quickly."

"Well, we built the city first, and the people are still living in the old houses in the back. I originally wanted to build their houses first, but they said that we have a surplus of new bricks now, so we should build the front first, and their houses can be built with the old bricks removed from the front."

"Oh, by the way, big brother, what are you and Miss Leng here for this time?"

Li Tianze glanced at Leng Youran who was still looking around, "Youyou is looking for you."

Leng Youran heard the two people mention her, and then she withdrew her gaze, "Let's go to your house and talk!"

The two followed Li Tianming back to the house where he lived in Liao County. After entering, they saw that the yard was empty except for the gatekeeper.

Li Tianming didn't wait for them to ask before explaining, "Everyone in the mansion is out working and only comes back at night. We all have a simple lunch at the construction site."

Leng Youran glanced at the empty yard, then thought of the purpose of this trip, and couldn't bear to say it out loud.

Even if she was considering the people, they were so short of manpower right now. If she told them her plan, wouldn't they have no time to rest before dawn?

She sighed deeply in her heart, alas... In the vast northern land, there are only so few people who can move. Thinking of this, she hated Zhu Dazhi so much.

If he hadn't been skinned and boned, she would have wanted to kick him a few times to vent her anger.

"It's okay. When you build the house, leave a piece of land empty. I can use it later."

Li Tianze knew that her purpose for coming here was not that simple, and he didn't know why she suddenly changed her mind, but he didn't intend to ask.

Li Tianming didn't know her original plan, and just thought she came here specifically to talk about the reserved land. "Don't worry, there's plenty of vacant land."

Leng Youran thought about it and asked, "How long will it take for you to complete the construction here?"

Li Tianming estimated, "It will probably take another three months. Of course, this is only if the weather is good."

"If this batch of houses is built, how long will it take to build the houses for the people to live in first?" Li Tianze knew that Leng Youran was impatient, so he thought that if the houses were built first and the shops later, it would save a lot of time.

Li Tianming thought for a moment and said, "This shop is almost finished. If we demolish it and build it at the same time, it will take about a month and a half for all the people to use it."

Leng Youran's fingers tapped irregularly on the table.

A month and a half.

It’s not long.

"Okay, then after these houses are built, you can have someone start building the factory."

"Factory?" Li Tianming knew what a factory was. When he returned to the north a few days ago, he saw the factory that Leng Chengye was building.

"Ah."

"Do you mean that we can build a factory here?" Li Tianming said with some surprise.

"Yes, but we are short of staff right now, so you may have to work harder."

Li Tianming didn't care whether he was tired or not at this time. Ever since he came to Liao County and saw the miserable conditions of the people, he had been thinking all the time about how to give them a better life.

Now that we have such a good opportunity, being a little tired doesn’t matter.

"It doesn't matter if you're a little tired. I believe that if the people know your plan, they will be very motivated. Don't worry, I will arrange this matter. In a month and a half, both the people's houses and the factory you want will be built." Li Tianming's voice was full of excitement when he said this.

The people who are building houses now talk about the people working in the brick kilns the most every day, and their tone is full of envy.

I just thought that one day I would have something to do.

Now, what they have been waiting for has finally arrived.

Although no one knows what will be produced in the factory here, as long as there is work to support their families, the people will have hope in their lives.

In short, you won’t go wrong by following Leng Youran.

Seeing that he spoke so confidently, Leng Youran did not rush to agree, but instead glanced at Li Tianze quietly, wanting to hear his opinion.

After all, the person in front of him is his younger brother, and he would definitely feel bad if he was exhausted.

"I believe Tianming. Since he said so, he will definitely do it. Tell him the blueprints and your plan!"

Seeing that he said this, Leng Youran took out the prepared drawings from her arms and handed them to Li Tianming.

The factory building blueprints were the same as those given to her father before, except that there were more walls inside.

Li Tianming took a look and felt that it was not complicated. Besides, he had someone sent by Leng Youran to look at the blueprints, so building it was no problem.

"Okay, I'll give the drawings to Engineer Xu in a moment."

Xu Gong, everyone else calls him Lao Xu, but Leng Youran gave him the title of Xu Gong when he was teaching them how to draw and read blueprints.

"Okay, just give it to him. They all know these things."

She was still very relieved about the people coming out of Nanshan Courtyard.

In fact, it’s not just Li Tianming. In several other counties in the north, Leng Youran has people sent to look at the drawings and supervise the construction of houses. So no matter what kind of drawings Leng Youran comes up with, as long as they have their hands on them, they can build them perfectly.

After chatting with Li Tianming for a while, the two said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Li Tianze patted Li Tianming on the shoulder solemnly and said, "Not bad, you finally seem to be doing something. Work hard. Don't worry, Tuanbao and your sister-in-law are doing well. Don't work too hard."

It was the first time that Li Tianming heard his elder brother praise him so directly. He stood there in a daze, his nose felt sore, and his eyes were filled with mist.

When he came back to his senses, Li Tianze and the other man had already disappeared.

He reached out and touched the place where Li Tianze had just slapped him, then held back the tears that were about to overflow, and went back to the way he was before, leading the people to work.

Just this afternoon, everyone who worked with him noticed his difference.

Because you can see a smile on his face from time to time.

Talking two ends.

After Leng Youran and Li Tianze said goodbye to Li Tianming, they came to the beach.

Leng Youran took out an iron pot from the space, and Li Tianze found some dead branches from the dense forest. The two of them had a delicious seafood meal in the sea breeze.

"I didn't expect these things to taste so good even when steamed." The ones Leng Youran brought back last time had all been cooked with seasonings.

Although it has the taste of seafood, it is not as strong as the steamed ones nowadays.
