Escape from the desert

Chapter 204 Measuring Land 2
"That's great!"

"Aunt Jiang is a straightforward person. Don't worry, the work will be done well for you. If you take care of our meal, we won't take more from you. We will definitely build a beautiful house for you!"

The two teased a few words. For them, as long as they take care of the meal, they are not afraid of less wages. While talking, the person who had arranged to get the tools before also came back.

The construction team had its own ox cart, arranged for a few people, bid farewell to shopkeeper Fu, and took advantage of the early weather, a group of people followed Jiang Yan to Linjiacun.

The scorching sun was slanting towards the west, the cool wind was blowing on the face, the sky was gradually covered with orange red, and the whole land was gradually shrouded in a crimson feather coat. The three ox carts drove towards Lin Family Village without haste.

The old Fangtou in the car discussed the road conditions one after another, because this road was also under construction, and they had to get out of the car every time they walked for a short distance to survey and measure the length of the road.

This time period is when the peasants go home, because this year Linjia Village has been exempted from taxes, and the villagers have been sorting out the food at home for the past few days, and carry it to the town to exchange money one after another, so as to give Buy some urgent daily necessities at home.

The price of grain in the town has risen to the highest price set by the government. At this time, selling the grain at home can make more money than before.

On the bumpy and rugged road, the villagers went home in groups of three or four, talking and laughing with dustpans on their backs, and would greet Jiang Yan kindly if they recognized Jiang Yan.

The Lin Family Village was wrapped in a big mountain. Not far from the entrance of the village was the dry and cracked river. This was the only way out of the village. So before this time, this road was always extraordinarily lively, especially during busy farming seasons.

The bullock cart swayed, and smelling the fresh air in the mountain village, Jiang Yan rubbed Lin Feng's slightly withered hair. Although she has been very busy during this time, she has never experienced such a life. Cozy.

The pace of life is much slower, and the pressure is much less. In her previous life, she was busy working every day, staying up late and working overtime, running around to discuss cooperation, and never stopped to rest. It was not until she came here that she realized that the sky is so blue. , The flowers and trees turned out to be so fresh.

The two hilltops that Jiang Yan bought were a little far away, so she first took everyone to measure the hilltops of the factory.

On the hilltops of several hundred mu, only a few tens of mu can be used to actually build a factory building, while the hilltop on the housing side is slightly smaller, but the location is high and relatively remote. Building a house here will give you a wider view, and you can see the whole Lin Family Village is not a problem.

"Xiaojiang!"

Jiang Yan watched the workers survey the terrain, and the village chief ran over with his two sons from a distance.

"I heard that you found the construction team, so I came here in a hurry. Do you have to let them measure the roads and private schools in the village?"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "The village head I know has already measured the road. I will take them to the private school in the village in a while."

The village head was very excited, looked at the people who were measuring the land, frowned and said: "Xiaojiang, you are going to build the house in this mountain? Is this location too far away, you can't see it from the village, or I Re-approve some land for you at the entrance of the former village?"

Jiang Yan shook her head. She just wanted to stay away from the village and live at the entrance of the densely populated former village. People probably passed by the door every day. "You don't need the village chief. I have determined the drawings. This location is a bit off, but it is not far from our village. When the time comes, I will build a higher wall behind the mountain, so I don't have to worry about the wild animals in the mountain."

The village still disagrees: "You live far away, and there will be some urgent business at home, and no one will hear you when you call."

"It's okay, there are many people in the family, and Lao Wu's family is not far away."

Old Wu's family is the one farthest away from the village, and Jiang Yanfang's house is built on a barren hill, which is actually closer to his house.

Hearing this, the village stopped persuading, and said with emotion: "Your family has a lot of people now, so the house should be bigger. Your second child has also married, and the young couple also have to have their own room. There is no room in our village. Few families have saved adobes, I guess you need a lot of adobes for this house, and you can collect some in the village."

"I plan to build a house made of blue bricks and tiles. I don't need adobe. I made a lot of money buying soap before, and with the money rewarded by the court, I thought, since I want to build a house, I should build a better one."

Every household in the village will save some adobe bricks for themselves. Firstly, they can save some money for building a house, and secondly, if someone runs out of adobe bricks, they can buy them for a few dollars.

"It's my old fool! Don't talk about our Lin family village, you are the richest in this village, and your family is the richest. Naturally, you have to build a better house. You are the pride of our village."

Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly: "Let's not talk about that, village chief, you came just in time. I just told Lin Xi that in addition to the workers I found, I also need to recruit some quick workers to help dig foundation ditches. These, I entrusted you to look for people in the village before, you bring them here today, and sign up first."

At this time, Lin Xi walked over with Old Fangtou and Lao Chu who had finished surveying the area. "Mom, we've finished measuring the land, now we're going to measure the private schools in the village."

"You came at a good time. After measuring the land of the private school, you call Shang Jiang Wen and follow the village head to recruit people. If there are any people in the village who are willing to sign up to help build houses, you all register. It's still the same as before, 25 Wen a day For the wages, take care of the meal."

"Understood, mother, I will go in a while."

"How many people can there be in your village?" Old Chu asked.

"I don't know yet, but you don't have to worry. The wages of your two construction teams are not counted together with those in the village. Just take a look. How much will your two wages cost next?"

The two looked at each other, and the old Fangtou said as a representative: "According to our on-site survey and the rough plan on your drawings, just counting the wages of our two families, it will cost about three hundred taels. If more people come out of your village, the construction period will be faster."

"You also know that our family will chase into this house before winter comes. I'm not sure how many people in the village can come, but the technical convenience of the house is still dominated by you. I'll give you 400 taels of wages, plus a lunch , try to speed up the construction period as much as possible."

Both of them were stunned. The wages are unintentionally very generous. Although the design of this house is novel and the structure is complicated in many places, they are all ingenious ideas that ordinary people can't think of. There are ten or two points.

The two explained with joy on their faces, and even the workers behind them were equally delighted and nodded their heads in response.

Jiang Yan smiled with satisfaction: "Then I will trouble you to get to work on time the day after tomorrow. If you have any questions about the drawings, you can ask me at any time."
