The last emperor

Chapter 89 Building the Wall
In the next few days, Chen Lie's diet kept changing, and the curtains began to open. Although Chen Lie was pale and weak, he was able to greet people with a smile.

Zhang Yao said that he wanted a chicken to make soup, so Zhang Jin sent someone back to apply for it with Mr. Lei Wu. Mr. Lei went to the paddock to pick it up and let him bring it back.

Seeing Chen Lie getting better little by little, Lei Zhengtang was undoubtedly the happiest. He always regarded Chen Lie's illness as his own making, and the guilt in his heart was eased a lot.

He suddenly found Zhang Jin and said: "I have seriously considered the defense you mentioned. Building a defense must enclose Heilongbao Village and the existing fields. We lack the corresponding engineering vehicles and materials for bricks and stones. What can we have? What to use, there are many trees here and mud walls made of imitation old houses, the village has enough manpower in this regard, and I can contribute even if I keep working on projects.”

Zhang Jin didn't expect that Lei Zhengtang would take the initiative to bring up this matter, and it coincided with what he thought. He nodded and said: "The matter of building the wall must start as soon as possible, and I will go back to the mountain for a meeting later."

"Go back to the mountain?!" Lei Zhengtang thought he had heard it wrong, and said in surprise, "But I..."

Zhang Jin said: "The enemy can still come to visit, go change and wash, nothing else, you have to visit Fifth Grandma, how is the wound getting better?"

Lei Zhengtang nodded excitedly, "The wound is basically healed, it's okay." He sincerely thanked someone and went to find someone to borrow his clothes to take a bath. He didn't expect that Zhang Jin would be so generous to let him go back to the mountain, and he felt a little mixed Miscellaneous.

Yun Fei gritted his teeth and said, "I thought I was a sleepy servant, you really let him go back."

Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Murderers still have the right to visit the prison. Am I really cold-blooded?"

Yun Fei quickly shook his head and said with a sneer: "Not to mention, you look like a ruthless character in killing zombies, no one dares to provoke you."

Zhang Jin shrugged and said: "There are some things that you can't be soft-hearted. Didn't you tell you to go back and rest for a few days, why did you come back so tired all day long?"

Yunfei gritted his teeth again and said: "I won't be able to rest for a while, but I feel refreshed once I put on the binoculars, and sleepy all day after I put it down to sleep. I have to change shifts."

Zhang Jin's eyes widened. This guy has had an "occupational disease" for more than a month?

When Lei Zheng and Zhang Zhen came back, Zhang Jin took Lei Zhengtang back to the mountain together.

Everyone first went home and sat down to chat with their family members. Although they were not far away, they hadn't been back for a long time. Everyone was full of curiosity about the things in the village, and they chatted happily for a while.

In the afternoon, everyone held a meeting in Zhongyi Hall, and some elders and young adults in the village also gathered here.

Hearing the discussion about building the fence outside the village, everyone said that this is a big project, which is very difficult, and there are many people who are skeptical about whether it is necessary and whether it can be built.

Fifth Master Lei knocked on the stone slab to silence the crowd and said, "What are you arguing about? If you know everything and what you want the village chief to do, shut up and listen first."

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhang Jin said: "The fence must be built, otherwise the safety of the village cannot be guaranteed. Only when the village is safe can we produce the food we need in the future, and we can also manufacture more things we need, so I am not Those who come to ask for opinions must build."

Seeing that Zhang Zhen and others did not object, some elders did not speak up, and the younger generation had no room to speak.

Zhang Jin continued: "This is a big project, and it will probably require more than half of the labor force in the village. We will discuss everything in due course. Now we are going to discuss how to build the fence, materials and construction issues. I decided to let Lei Zhengtang is in charge of this matter."

"Lei Zhengtang?!"

Everyone was shocked when Zhang Jin's words came out, even Zhang Zhen was completely unexpected, not to mention Lei Wuye and Lei's family members.

"Is the main hall okay?!" Fifth Master Lei thought he had heard it wrong.

"Me?!" Lei Zhengtang was also stunned. Zhang Jin had thought about asking him to help him, but he had never thought that he would be fully responsible.

Zhang Jin said seriously: "Lei Zhengtang is in engineering, and he is also good at construction. It is most suitable for him to be in charge of this matter."

Fifth Master Lei nodded excitedly, and said to Lei Zhengtang: "You bastard still doesn't make a statement. The village chief will reuse you regardless of your faults. If you mess up, you will take the lives of the whole village. You have also lost the face of your ancestors."

"The village head thinks highly of me. If I, Lei Zhengtang, can't do well, I won't be a member of the Black Dragon Castle. The sky will be struck by lightning!" Lei Zhengtang was a little excited when he had seen people with strong winds and waves, and he spoke loudly.

"Good!" Lei Zheng applauded Lei Zhengtang's actions, he was happy with Lei Zhengtang's transformation.

Everyone was even more confused. No one knew what Lei Zhengtang and Zhang Jin were doing against each other. Letting Lei Zhengtang go back to the mountain was unpredictable, and now he was suddenly asked to take on such a heavy responsibility. What did Jin do, why did Lei Zhengtang obey Zhang Jin so suddenly?
Zhang Jin ignored these things and continued: "Then Lei Zhengtang will come and talk to everyone about how to build the fence."

"Me?" Lei Zhengtang didn't react a little bit, and after seeing Zhang Jin nodding to confirm that he was really going to take the lead, he actually became a little nervous.

Zhang Jin retreated to the side and sat down, Zhang Zhen whispered: "Aren't you rushing the ducks to the shelves? He suddenly took on such an important task and didn't even have time to study. Let alone a meeting, he might not know about it after a normal chat. What to say."

Zhang Jin smiled and just looked at Lei Zhengtang.

Lei Zhengtang sorted out his emotions, stood in front of the table and waved it with the teacup on it: "Heilongtou Mountain is our safe hiding place, and Heilongbao Village is an important place for our future food and safety activities. The fields are currently tight. Surrounding the east and west of the village, it must be fenced for the safety of food production, so the wall should be surrounded from Heilongtou Mountain to the village, and the west should also be surrounded from Heilongtou Mountain."

Someone said in amazement: "This piece of land is not small. It's easy to get around."

Lei Zhengzhang drew the route on the table with his hands: "The village chief has inspected it, and I have also studied it. Using the trees on the ground can save some fortifications. Our most materials are wood and soil. We use trees to build foundation piles, and then use soil There is no difficulty in making a wall out of bricks, except that it takes several months."

"Mudbricks?" An old man said, "This thing hasn't been done for some years."

Lei Zhengtang nodded, looked at the elders and said, "None of us juniors know how to make mud bricks anymore, so we need the advice of the elders. As long as we can make mud bricks, everything will be fine."

The one who spoke just now was Mr. Lei Wang, who was just in his early sixties, nodded and said: "This is not difficult to do, you can learn it if you teach it."

Lei Zhengtang looked at Zhang Jin and said, "Village Chief, I don't know how high the fence should be, and what kind of resistance is needed?"

Zhang Jin praised in his heart that this guy really has two hands. It seems that he has really studied it carefully. He smiled and said: "The minimum is [-] meters. Of course, the higher the better. If it is strong, it depends on your ability. It can be like a city wall." It couldn't be better."

Lei Zhengtang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said after a moment of thought: "Yes, the wall is widened, there are still some stones available in Heilongtou Mountain, the foundation should be better laid."

He turned to the table and said, "The mud bricks are made from local materials. The trees are close first and then far away. The stone materials can only be transported from Heilongtou Mountain."

Mr. Lei Wu nodded and said: "Yes, this is our survival plan. We must do it well. When will we start?"

Lei Zhengtang looked at Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin got up and said, "The sooner the better, since Lei Zhengtang is in charge, let him make the decision and try to finish it before the autumn harvest."

Lei Zhengtang nodded, thinking about the work ahead.

Seeing that Zhang Jin was about to leave, an elder of the Zhang family stood up and said, "This is a big project, with many people involved and a lot of things involved, why don't we arrange some people to coordinate it?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Jin, even the members of the Lei family thought that Zhang Jin would arrange a few more members of the Zhang family to take charge of this matter.

Zhang Jin just turned his head and said: "Lei Zhengtang arranges all the affairs, and Lei Wuye coordinates the mountain affairs."

Seeing Zhang Jin leaving like this, everyone was stunned. The Lei and Zhang families thought it was unbelievable. Originally, Lei Zhengtang had to take advantage of the situation to suppress it, but he didn't expect to get all the power completely.

The Lei family was naturally happy after being shocked. Lei Zhengtang took full responsibility for such a major event. In terms of face, the Lei family made a lot of money this time, and finally looked up for the first time after Zhang Jin became the village head.
