"Here, use stones to build them up for me, and add some wooden stakes to fix them. Yes, that's it. After building them, near the water puddle, fill them with stones and mud, and pile them up higher." At this time, Li Chongyuan is directing the construction of Laoshui.

Under the command of Li Chongyuan and Le Dao, the helpers were busy coming and going.

The construction of embankments is a matter of benefiting others and oneself.

What's more, this is about Lizhuang and the fields on the side of Yuanzhuang near the waterlogged water.

If the embankment can be built this year, there will be no fear of flooding next year.

At least starting from next year, there is no need to be afraid of flooding.

originally.

Waterlogging is not wide at all.

The general is only ten feet wide.

But with a width of only ten feet or so, the depressions on both sides of the bank and the fields are flooded every year.

If it is not properly repaired, Li Chongyuan doubts whether the fields on both banks will continue to go barren if this continues.

I want to grow sugar cane myself.

Such a good water depression, that is the best venue.

Just right.

At present, Li Chongyuan has money, so he is not short of money at all.

It's just that there are fewer people.

According to the progress, it is estimated that this year will not even try to build the waterlogged banks.

Stones, stakes, soil, etc. all have to be picked from other places.

This also made the helpers exhausted and out of breath.

When resting.

A helper rubbed his shoulders, looked at the other helper and said, "Today's work is tiring enough. I have picked stones seven or eight times from morning to now, and my calves are so tired that I can't bear the strength."

"Me too. I can only move two or three pieces of wood at a time. Look at my shoulder, it's all red, and I don't know if there will be something wrong." The helper responded.

Another helper sitting on the side also interrupted the conversation, "We are considered good, and we will be tired if we are tired. At least the wages are higher than that of land reclamation. Moreover, Li Xianbo also spoke, do a job. Time, we can rest for a quarter of an hour, this is a rare and good club."

"Isn't it? If Mr. Li County Bo was not generous, if we were replaced by other employers, let alone rest, those unscrupulous employers would be considered generous if they didn't beat us with a whip." The helper replied.

not far away.

Li Chongyuan held a bamboo whip in his hand and wore a straw hat on his head. He really looked like the unscrupulous employer that the workers said.

From morning till now.

The busy figures of the helpers all fell into Li Chongyuan's eyes.

Regarding the construction of embankments, Li Chongyuan also knew that this was a heavy manual labor.

Not to mention that this stone needs to be picked out from Zhongnan Mountain.

You have to carry the wood on your shoulders and hands.

It is even more necessary to plant wooden piles in the waterlogged water to fix these stones and reduce soil erosion caused by impacting the embankment when flooding occurs.

This is the most appropriate way to build embankments at the moment.

No cement.

And no concrete.

Don't even think about machinery.

Everything is so primitive, and everything needs to be operated manually.

This also made Li Chongyuan look at the embankment thoughtfully.

After a moment.

Li Chongyuan made a decision, and told Yao Kong beside him: "Old Yao, you are good at carpentry, you must know carpentry. I will go back and draw a picture, and you can take it to the county to find someone who can do carpentry." People, help me build something."

"Okay, Mr. Xiaolang, I happen to be going to the county government this afternoon." Yao Kong responded.

As for going to the county government, it is of course an official business.

Li Chongyuan's acting county magistrate's great seal should be handed over to Yao Kong to help him, so that it can be used to deal with the affairs of the county government.

Yao Kong would also visit the county government from time to time.

If there is nothing wrong, I will stay in Li Zhuang.

If something happened, they basically stayed in Lizhuang, and at most they just went to the county government for a walk.

After the break.

The helpers keep busy.

And Li Chongyuan didn't look at it anymore, and went back to the small courtyard directly, took a pen and paper, and drew a simple picture.

"Hey, Mr. Xiaolang, are you a frame?" Yao Kong asked curiously.

Li Chongyuan smiled indifferently and said: "You have good eyesight. My frame is also designed to build waterlogged water. The helpers pick stones from Zhongnan Mountain every day, and they don't pick many, which is even more tiring. It’s like a dog. No, I just thought about designing a means of transportation.”

"Xiao Langjun, why is the frame you designed different from our usual one?" Yao Kong was curious.

Also really.

The frame that Li Chongyuan set up at this time is a two-wheeled cart.

Similar to the two-wheeled carts used for construction sites, that is, trolleys.

And there are two support points for supporting the ground, which is convenient for resting.

Simultaneously.

There is also a downhill brake pad, which is quite special.

The two armrests can be pulled or pushed, and a rope can be added to hang around the neck to share the weight of the two-wheeled vehicle and so on.

Li Chongyuan tore off the paper and handed it to Yao Kong, "It's a little different, you take this one first, and I'll draw a simple one."

After speaking, Li Chongyuan continued to draw pictures.

in a moment.

A new pattern appears.

"Xiao Langjun, you are a bit like the frame we see now, but it looks more simple, and it seems to be more suitable for mountainous terrain." After Yao Kong saw Li Chongyuan's painting, he finally understood why Li Chongyuan wanted to Draw this frame diagram.

Reducing the work of the helpers is also convenient for the helpers, and it is also conducive to the construction of embankments.

Li Chongyuan continued to tear it off, and handed it over, "Is it okay? After you go to the county seat, find some carpenters and ask if anyone is willing to take this job. We need a lot, and the time is tight."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiaolang. After seeing such a good thing, they probably will rush to work for Mr. Xiaolang." Yao Kong took the pattern again, and threw a compliment at Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan squinted at Yao Kong, "You are a fast learner at sycophancy. Let me tell you, it's useless to learn less. Just ignore what that guy Niu Fan said. It doesn't matter if you are an official. It doesn’t matter if you are an official, it’s useless for you to flatter others, and the common people don’t like it. You must learn to be pragmatic, and everything is based on the common people.”

A lesson from Li Chongyuan.

Immediately, Yao Kong felt a little miserable.

originally.

He also just habitually wanted to flatter Li Chongyuan.

Unexpectedly, instead of flattering, he was scolded.

However, Yao Kong also remembered it in his heart. After nodding heavily, he left the small courtyard, rode his horse, and headed towards the county town.

At this time, Li Chongyuan was still holding his notebook, and after drawing a sketch, he left the courtyard and went to the blacksmith's room.

"Old Xu, Lao Xu, come out." As soon as he arrived outside the blacksmith's house, a wave of heat rushed over his face, making Li Chongyuan wonder whether he should move the blacksmith's house to another place, far away from Li Zhuang. it is good.

Let's not talk about the heat wave.

With the smell of coal, Li Chongyuan couldn't stand it even when he approached.

Old Xu, who was busy in the blacksmith's room, hurried out after hearing Li Chongyuan's call, "Young Lord, do you have any orders?"

"Here, this is a new picture I drew. I need this thing urgently. The two things on the picture should be very simple for you." Li Chongyuan handed over the picture.

After Lao Xu took it, he took a closer look and said, "My lord, isn't this just a large bearing. What's the use of this iron sheet?"

"I want to make two kinds of frames, and I need to use bearings. As for the iron sheet, it is used to wrap the wheels." Li Chongyuan explained.

Old Xu was thoughtful, and looked at the picture again, "Xiao Langjun, although this large bearing is easier to make than the small bearing, but we need some time now. I don't know when Mr. ?”

"Get three samples out tomorrow, and I'm going to test the car tomorrow." After Li Chongyuan finished speaking, he was waiting to go back, and after thinking about the blacksmith's room, he said, "Oh, by the way, you can stop the bearings of the carriage first. Anyway, there’s no rush for that matter. You can stop the spring or something. Anyway, your progress is not so good.”

Following Li Chongyuan's words.

Old Xu's face was dull, and he looked at Li Chongyuan in embarrassment.

once.

He was boastful.

It is said that bearings and springs can be done.

But it has been half a year. Although some samples have come out, it has not been going smoothly when it comes to small batch production.

When Lao Xu heard Li Chongyuan's words, he felt guilty too.

But Li Chongyuan's words were just casual.

He really didn't have much thought.

originally.

According to Li Chongyuan's thoughts.

Be it the bearing or the spring, it is not so easy to make.

The bearings are okay to say.

Up to now, a dozen of them have been produced, which can be regarded as worthy of their boasting.

But this spring has been stuck in the process of small batch production.

Li Chongyuan didn't notice Lao Xu's face either, as soon as he finished speaking, he went to the bank of the flooded water.

And this time.

On the trail in Lizhuang, three carriages and some pedestrians ushered in.

After a while.

This group of people rushed to the entrance of Lizhuang Village, but they were stopped by a guard who suddenly appeared, "Who are you! What are you doing here?"

On the carriage, a head poked out and looked at the guard with a trace of puzzlement in his eyes.

A small dilapidated village, you can go anywhere by yourself.

But this Lizhuang is different from other villages, there is such a person who looks like a good soldier in the army.

immediately.

Two men who looked like young masters got off the carriage.

These two are none other than Wang Zhong and Wang Ting, the second and third members of the Wang family.

With a smile on his face, Wang Zhongzhan approached the guards, knowingly asked, "May I ask if this is Li Zhuang?"

"Exactly, who are you and what are you doing here!" The guard stared coldly at the two young men in front of him, and then glanced coldly at the followers and guards behind him.

Lots of people.

At least there are about twenty people.

With so many strangers appearing in Li Zhuang, the guards would naturally become vigilant.

The right hand also followed to the side.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong knew that the guard's hand was reaching for the weapon, so he quickly replied: "I am Wang Zhong of the Wang family. I am here to discuss some matters with Li County Uncle Li. Please inform me."

The guard looked at the two people in front of him again, feeling suspicious.

However, he didn't embarrass the other party at all, he just pointed to the guards behind them and said: "Let them withdraw from the range of one mile."

"That's not good. Although Li Xianbo is an honorable person, he doesn't need my people to retreat one mile away. If this matter gets out, it will not be good for Li Xianbo's reputation." Wang Zhong Respond with a smile.

but.

The guard stopped talking and stared at the two in front of him coldly.

immediately.

Pick up the bamboo whistle hanging on the chest.

A 'beep' sounded.

in a moment.

In Li Zhuang, a dozen guards ran out, even the weapons in their hands were unsheathed, and Wang Zhong and Wang Ting brothers were so scared that their faces were pale.

"What are you going to do! On a sunny day, do you still dare to besiege and kill our two brothers? You let Li Xianbo come out, I really want to ask him, even if he doesn't welcome my two brothers, he Li County Uncle can't kill people for no reason." Although Wang Zhong was a little scared, as a member of the Wang family, how could he want to embarrass his own Wang family.

The guard still had a cold face, and at the same time said coldly: "Let these people retreat one mile away, otherwise, they will be shot to death."

The situation is not right.

In the end, the two brothers Wang Zhong and Wang Ting could only lower their heads and let their entourage and guards retreat a mile away.

The guard then asked the two to wait, and went back to the small courtyard to ask for instructions.

When Li Chongyuan heard that the two brothers of the Wang family were coming to pay a visit by the waterlogged water, it was beyond his expectation.

But thinking about the heavy loss of the royal court, they must come here to make peace.

After returning to the small courtyard with a happy face, Li Chongyuan sat on a chair under the shade like an old god, and then asked the guards to bring the two Wang brothers over.

soon.

The two brothers Wang Zhong and Wang Ting were brought here sweating profusely.

"Uncle Li, we two brothers came to pay a visit, but Uncle Li is really awe-inspiring. He stopped us outside the village and kept my entourage and guards away for a mile. Could it be you, Uncle Li? Is it the way you treat guests?" Wang Zhong was very upset as soon as he entered the small courtyard.

Not to mention that I was frightened by Li Zhuang's guards at first.

Even let him bask in the sun for half a day.

In such a hot day, it is very rare for the two brothers who are pampered and cared for not to be exposed to the sun.

This is not.

As soon as Wang Zhong entered the small courtyard, he very bluntly asked Li Chongyuan for an explanation.

Li Chongyuan is like an old god, sitting in the shade, looking at the brothers with a smile, "My Li Zhuang is not just a cat or a dog. Those who can come are either the guests I invited, or my friends." Family and relatives. The two of you brothers suddenly came to my private domain, and you didn’t say goodbye, and you didn’t even have the most basic etiquette. Could it be that this is the tutor of the Wang family?”

Immediately.

The two brothers Wang Zhong and Wang Ting were stunned for a moment.

Also really.

Greeting invitations are the most basic at the moment, and some even have to hand in greeting invitations a day or two in advance, or for a long time.

You didn't even hand in a greeting card, just broke into someone's house and didn't get kicked out, this is considered a face.

After listening to Li Chongyuan's words, Wang Zhong was very angry and unhappy.

originally.

The two sides don't deal with it very much.

When Wang Zhongzheng was about to reply and fight back, Wang Ting beside him pulled him, bowed to Li Chongyuan and said, "Mr. Li County, please forgive me. My brothers came here this time, and I really lost my manners. This is an apology to Li Xianbo."
