Datang Nongwang

Chapter 498
The first thing to do in dredging ocean water is to recruit people.

As for recruiting, Li Chongyuan didn't need to worry about it at all.

After the Shi family directly gave Li Chongyuan a relieved look, within three days, hundreds of people were recruited.

This made Li Chongyuan really admire the Shi family.

Known by Li Chongyuan.

The hundreds of people recruited by the Shi family all know water and have done water conservancy work before. They don't need to be taught at all, they only need a word, and they know how to do it.

After Li Chongyuan saw these people start work, his eyes immediately narrowed into a line, and his heart was filled with joy.

There is a saying.

Officials have their own way, and the people have their way.

The Shi family's ancestors have done this job for generations, if there is no one of their own, if something happens to them, it will be really hard to catch.

As soon as these water workers arrive.

More and more people began to come to Li Chongyuan's fief.

At the same time, some shack-like houses were also built to facilitate the living of these water workers.

Of course, some of them were women, even elderly people, and even some water workers came to help with their families.

Li Chongyuan didn't ask about these things much.

What he wants is to dredge the ocean water and make the waterway deeper, so that he can build a shipyard nearby in the future, so that after the ship is built, he can sail the ship.

Only Shi's family knows how the plumbers hired by Shi's family are.

And Li Chongyuan only needs to pay the corresponding food and money according to his promise, and the Shi family will worry about other things.

Li Chongyuan was really elated at this time, "I really hired a lot of experts. At this time, the family really deserves to be a family of sailors, and they manage these sailors in an orderly manner."

"Xiao Langjun, so many people have come to our Li village. Recently, many other villagers have come to inquire and want to come to work. How do you think this matter should be resolved?" Just as Li Chongyuan was standing somewhere, looking at When the group of water workers started working under the command of Shi's family, Xiang Si ran over and asked.

Li Chongyuan pointed to the Shi family and said: "I don't care about this matter. If anyone comes over and wants to work, they can only go to the Shi family. I leave everything to the Shi family."

"Xiao Langjun, isn't this a little bad? After all, among the people who came here are people from certain clans in Xixiang. According to the request of the Shi family, they will definitely be rejected. If this is the same as Xixiang It's not easy to explain the gap between the clan and country gentry." Xiang Si was a little worried.

Li Chongyuan didn't speak, but just quietly watched the work of the water workers.

It is not up to outsiders to make irresponsible remarks about the matter of his own fiefdom, plus the matter of foreign water.

What about the clan.

A year ago, if there were any troubles caused by local clans, or those gentry encouraged the common people to make troubles, Li Chongyuan might deal with it properly.

But after this year, and after the Hujiazhuang incident.

Among the people Li Chongyuan didn't like at this time, the squires of local clans can be said to be the first ones.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan was silent, Xiang Si looked at Xiang Ba who was standing behind Li Chongyuan, and cast a look for help.

Xiang Baxin understood, and said: "Fourth brother, you haven't been in Chang'an for many years, so you don't know what happened to Xiao Langjun. Some local clans and gentry, if they really dare to extend their hands to Xiao Langjun's fief , Just cut it off."

"This" Xiang Si hesitated.

As Xiang Ba said, he has been in Xixiang for many years, and he really doesn't know why Li Chongyuan has changed so much in the past year.

Moreover, he is very assertive. Some things are settled, and they are basically settled. It is rare for him to change his mind.

For example, regarding the dredging of foreign water, Xiang Si once advised Li Chongyuan not to leave everything to the Shi family.

However, Li Chongyuan insisted on doing so.

Li Chongyuan has his own ideas.

There is a saying that it is not reasonable to entrust professional matters to professional personnel.

And because Xiang Si has been in Xixiang for many years and managed all the things in his fief on behalf of Li Chongyuan, he is naturally aware of the intricate relationships in Xixiang and some local affairs.

Xiang Si's aim is not to have any gaps with outsiders, so that everyone can benefit from it.

But Li Chongyuan would not do that.

The wharf is the key, and ocean water is the key.

If the two key points are not dealt with properly, the shipyard will be in constant trouble and even lead to some major events in the future.

That's why Li Chongyuan is so determined to leave professional matters to professional personnel.

Everyone's perspective is different, and the things they think about will naturally be different.

After Xiang Si received Xiang Ba's advice, although he was still a little worried, seeing that Li Chongyuan didn't speak, he had no choice but to go to Shi's family.

At this time, Li Chongyuan looked back at Xiang Ba and said: "Those shacks are not suitable for people to live in. You should remind your family when the time comes that some wooden houses will be stronger than this shack. We pay for it ourselves."

"Okay, Mr. Xiaolang." Xiang Ba responded.

Compared with Xixiang before, Xiang Ba is more obedient now, and there will be no more objections.

It is said that when he saw Tie Leizi on Meridian Road, he knew that the young man in front of him was no longer the troublesome young man he was a year ago.

Tie Leizi can get out such a powerful thing, which makes Xiang Ba feel a sense of fear in his heart.

even.

From time to time, Xiang Ba asked Xing Ba what the stick he was fighting against every day was, and when he got Xing Ba's explanation, Xiang Ba became even more frightened.

Report the matter to the old lady?
Xiang Ba and the others had thought about it, but they couldn't.

Do what they said, Xiang Ba and others have already remembered it in their hearts.

Tie Leizi is a big killer, so he is not allowed to appear in the world at will.

They knew what the appearance of Tie Leizi represented, and even more so, the less people knew about it, the safer it was. For the Li family, safety was the number one priority.

Dock workers plus water workers and so on.

At this time, the number of people in Li Village has exceeded 2000.

With so many people in Li Village, safety has become the most urgent issue at the moment.

Waterproof and fireproof, but also to prevent fighting.

When there are too many people, this quarrel is inevitable.

As the quarrel began, the fight became a natural occurrence.

This is not.

After work was over in the evening within two days, a small group fight started.

There was even bloodshed.

After Li Chongyuan heard about it, he took Xing Ba and the others to the area where the shack was located.

When Li Chongyuan saw that several people were bleeding, he frowned so much that he really didn't want to bring it up.

"Uncle Li, the brawl happened because we didn't manage it well. Please give us some time, Uncle Li. We must deal with it properly." When the little old man Shi Lin saw Li Chongyuan coming over, his brows did not relax. , quickly ran over to admit the mistake.

Li Chongyuan knew that his family's skills were not bad, but the management of life was extremely poor.

In terms of the reconstruction of the shack, the Shi family was a little at a loss. After two days, the shack was still the same, with no sign of progress at all.

And at this time, there was a fight, Li Chongyuan was really worried, if it really went on like this, the fight would never stop today.

Li Chongyuan nodded lightly to Le Dao and other staff who were good at medical skills.

Le Dao and the others hurried over to help deal with the wounded.

Fortunately, the wounded only had his head broken and bled a little, but he didn't hurt his muscles or bones.

After the wounded were dealt with, Li Chongyuan became angry, "I warn you, I welcome you to work here. But if there are incidents of fighting, bloodshed, theft, etc. on my site, I, Li Chongyuan, will never tolerate it." .Today’s matter is to give you a warning in advance. If there is a next time, the participants will not only be sent to officials, but I, Li Chongyuan, will even investigate him for the crime of disrupting my fief.”

'wow~~'

Li Chongyuan's words immediately attracted everyone in the audience.

Sending off officials is already a big deal.

He also needs to be investigated for the crime of disrupting Li Chongyuan's fiefdom, which is too serious.

If you really want to put this charge on the heads of these gangsters, it is treason.

That is to kill.

Immediately, after the uproar, all the workers were so honest that they didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear that Li Chongyuan would really hold them accountable.

After Li Chongyuan looked around, he nodded with a little satisfaction and shouted: "Just pretend that what happened today has never happened. There are quarrels, it's normal, and the quarrel is over. If you are really angry, then go to the higher-ups to solve it." , or ask me to solve it. I give you a lot of food, and the wages are not low. I don't want you to find something to do when you are full and have nothing to do. If you really have free time, go to Cut down the trees and build a log cabin instead of sleeping in such a dirty and messy shack."

Li Chongyuan didn't like these shacks.

As far as these shacks are concerned, Li Chongyuan’s first sight is a refugee camp, just like the documentary film Li Chongyuan saw in his previous life, which recorded scenes like African refugee camps.

In addition to being dirty and messy, it is more of a safety hazard.

Li Chongyuan would rather spend some money to build this place into a living wooden house like a construction site, and he doesn't want to see such a shack.

And this time.

Just a moment after Li Chongyuan's words fell, a cry of surprise resounded in the silent shack area.

"Xiaohe, my Xiaohe, where are you, come to mother, don't play anymore. Xiaohe." A mother was calling her baby's voice, disrupting the scene that should have been silent.

After Li Chongyuan heard the sound, he looked into the distance and frowned again.

Zhu Ni, who was standing beside Li Chongyuan, saw Li Chongyuan frowned, and quickly ran towards the woman, "What are you doing! Don't you know that Mr. Xiao Lang is explaining something?"

"My daughter is gone, my daughter is gone, woo woo woo woo." The woman was already nervous and frightened, but when she was yelled at by the pig mud, she became even more frightened.

After she said that my daughter was gone, the woman was even more frightened and howled.

And a little boy next to the woman was also frightened by the roar of the pig mud, and burst into tears.

At the same time, the woman's husband also jumped up and started looking for his daughter everywhere, calling Xiaohe Xiaohe all the time.

Li Chongyuan, who was in the distance, frowned even more after hearing the sound.

However, Li Chongyuan frowned tightly, not because the voice of the woman and her husband interrupted him, but because Li Chongyuan had to frown because of the safety hazard of the shack.

The child is gone.

Either I fell asleep after playing there, or I went to play with other friends.

Near Li Village, apart from the mountains, there is ocean water.

And there are more than 1000 people living in this shack. When the baby is tired from playing, he will naturally sleep there directly.

but.

After Li Chongyuan heard the woman's howling, a terrible thing suddenly popped up in his mind. He was anxious, and he told Xiang Ba and the others: "Go to the edge of Yangshui to see if the baby has fallen. It went into the water. Also, go to the trails on both sides to see if they ran out along the trails."

Xiang Ba got the word, got a dozen guards, and started running around.

At the same time, the Shi family also called many water workers to start searching.

It doesn't matter whether it's everywhere in the shack, or everywhere in the ocean.

And when the staff came out, there were a few more exclamations, "My little pig is gone too, who saw my little pig."

"My little sister is gone too, who saw it?"

"My son is missing, too."

The sudden disappearance of so many babies made Li Chongyuan feel a little inconceivable.

If the children go to play by the ocean water, if a child falls into the ocean water, the water workers will be able to find it if they think about it.

Even if you can't find it, other babies will call for help.

Suddenly, Li Chongyuan became nervous.

"Xiang Si, send out guards towards Xixiang. Anyone who finds someone tying up Xiaowa will be taken down. If anyone dares to do it, he will be chopped off immediately." Li Chongyuan was startled, and the word "slightly selling" came to his mind.

Xiang Si in the distance, suddenly heard Li Chongyuan's words, also paled in shock, hurriedly recruited several people, and rushed towards Xixiang.

In this era.

The phenomenon of slight selling has been repeatedly banned.

As big as a woman, as small as a baby, even a man will be slightly sold.

In every dynasty, it has always been a felony to sell the appearance, and it can be directly sentenced to beheading.

Even if there is such a punishment law, it still cannot prevent the occurrence of slight selling, and it will intensify, like a fire that cannot be extinguished.

A quarter of an hour later, the scattered search personnel ran around, and even the shadow of Xiaowa was not found.

And this time.

After galloping to the fourth class for more than ten miles, they saw two broken cars in the distance on the trail leading from Li Village to Xixiang. On the broken cars, seven or eight children were tied up like rice dumplings. Throwing it in the broken car, it seems to be asleep.

"Stop, stop, stop quickly." Xiang Siyi was furious when he saw the two broken cars, and he pulled out the knives in his hands.

The dozen or so people who were driving the carriage and guarding the carriage turned their heads to look at Xiangsi after hearing the sound, thinking to themselves that there would be pursuers so soon.

But the expressions on the faces of those dozens of people showed no trace of panic, they were very calm.
