The last emperor

Chapter 90 Lei Zhengtang's Performance
The people of the Zhang family really couldn't sit still this time. Logically speaking, the Zhang family should take the lead in such a big matter. Although it was for nothing, it represented the status in the village, and some people went to find it.

In Juyi Hall, Zhang Jin watched some elders and peers get up to deal with it helplessly. Even Zhang Zhen didn't understand it, so it was expected that everyone came to him collectively.

An uncle said bluntly: "Why do you, the village head, build the fence for the common interests of the Lei and Zhang families, but it can't be all done by Lei's family. Is it possible that we Zhang's family will all be responsible?" Mud legs work?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, dissatisfied with this decision.

"What do you think?" Zhang Jin asked Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen groaned and said: "I support your decision, but I'm a bit worried about completely handing it over to Lei Zhengtang, who knows if that guy really wants to work for Black Dragon Castle."

Zhang Jin smiled and said: "I understand what you are worried about. I also believe that Lei Zhengtang will not be selfish. In terms of engineering, he is indeed better than any of us. If I arrange people, it may disrupt his arrangement. , but I believe that Lei Zhengtang will treat this matter fairly, and our Zhang family will definitely not be the Lei family, perhaps more than the Lei family."

"He made trouble like that, do you still believe him?!" Another uncle said dissatisfied.

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "What is left for us now is how to survive. Smart people will not fight over trifles. You wait quietly. Lei Zhengtang's performance will not let you down."

"Xingwu, say something." Since the Zhang family had always supported Zhang Jin before, it felt inappropriate to let Lei Zhengtang be in charge this time, so the elders targeted Zhang Xingwu, hoping that he could intervene in Zhang Jin's decision. .

Zhang Xingwu stood up silently and said: "Yu Li and Zhang Jin are the village head. I will support any decision he made if he didn't make a mistake. Yu Qinglei's family has been feeling uncomfortable since the disaster. Let the Lei family find him. Putting face on is also good for us to live in harmony. As far as things are concerned, Lei Zhengtang has a real ability to earn a multi-millionaire by working outside the project. It is right for Zhang Jin to choose him to take over the head. We will wait and see for this matter. How Lei Zhengtang handles it will be discussed later."

Everyone was not happy when they heard it, and they could only sigh and turn around to leave, Zhang Xingwu had said so, it was meaningless for them to stay any longer.

Seeing that everyone had left several times, Zhang Zhen wanted to speak up but didn't say anything. Zhang Jin didn't take the initiative to talk to him. He took two pieces of clothes and went back to the village with him.

In the evening, Lei Zhengtang also rushed back. After sweeping away the decadent spirit of the previous days, he was in good spirits. He greeted Chen Lie through the window and went to the courtyard where the soldiers lived to find a place to sleep.

Many soldiers were not optimistic about Lei Zhengtang being in charge of building the fence. Zhang Jin still did not explain anything. He still believed in his own vision and judgment. Although he could command the villagers to build the fence, it was not necessary to experience everything personally. My dear, there are still too many things to do.

The next day, Lei Zhengtang started to inspect the place where the wall was to be built, and he didn't come back until the evening for a whole day. After eating a meal, he came over to report the preliminary plan to Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin listened to him talking about the quarrying sites for stone and wood, which was basically the same as he expected. They are relatively easy to transport and can expand the range of activities within the enclosure, which is very scientific and reasonable.

"Okay, you can just let it go, it's still what you said in the meeting, everything is up to you to decide."

Lei Zhengtang nodded and said, "I'll go back to the mountain tomorrow to gather the first batch of workers. I may need a group of workers to stay in the village. The village chief can help organize a yard and live here."

"Well, I'll do it tomorrow. There are quite a few people staying in the village now, so it's time to make plans to live there." Zhang Jin said.

Zhang Jin didn’t go back to the mountain when Lei Zhengtang was selecting the manpower. He chose a few adjacent yards in the village as residences for soldiers and workers. It was very close to the bathhouse and the courtyard where meals were served, and it was also on the main road of the village. , It is also convenient to come and go.

At noon, Yunfei called him from the roof, pointed to the outside of Heilongtou Mountain and said, "Work has started."

Zhang Jin climbed on the ladder and took the binoculars and looked at it. A group of people were holding tools and preparing for quarrying in a gravel area at the foot of the mountain. Uncle San led a group of people to point out.

Yun Fei was a little surprised and said: "Lei Zhengtang is really strange. After fighting for a long time to save face for Lei's family, it seems that the quarrying foreman was given to the third master."

Zhang Jin handed back the binoculars and said with a smile: "Look slowly, there are many good shows, but you recruit the sentries you brought out at night, we need to rectify them, and now the sentries will also be adjusted once the project starts."

Yunfei nodded, and continued to watch with the binoculars. Lei Zhengtang led some people into the woods, followed by Zhang Zhiban and Mu Liuzi. These two were the best carpenters in the village, and Yunfei was a little curious. Come on, who will be the foreman.

Not long after, Lei Zhengtang brought people back to the village, and after finding Zhang Zhen, they came to look for Zhang Jin together.

Lei Zhengtang said: "I've already arranged for materials and logging to start working. I plan to let a team of villagers start digging the foundation at the same time. This requires the cooperation of the patrol team, so come here and discuss with the village chief."

Zhang Jin said: "I will rectify the soldiers and sentries at night, and then separate a separate team for you to dispatch."

Lei Zhengtang nodded and said: "One more thing, making mud bricks requires a lot of water, we can only rely on canal water to do it, the east land has been poured, and the flooded two lands feel that they can be used to make mud bricks, Zhang Zhen It is said that the amount of water in the canal has become smaller, and in order to prevent the water from drying out, we need to make mud bricks first."

Zhang Zhen nodded and said: "The water level in the canal has not recovered. It is estimated that the upstream water has either stopped or been blocked. What is available now is the amount of water stored in the canal, which is not very impressive."

Zhang Jin thought for a while and said: "You are the foreman, you decide, Zhang Zhen is responsible for assisting you, the soldiers will be led by Zhang Zhen tomorrow, and I will send out sentries."

"Okay, there is one more thing. Zhang Zhi said that the sound of vehicles is likely to attract zombies, so can we not use tractors?" Lei Zhengtang asked.

Zhang Jin said: "Well, for the time being, we will focus on electric tricycles. I will lead people to investigate the surrounding situation. If it is safe, we will use large machinery."

Lei Zhengtang was satisfied with all the answers and left, but Zhang Zhen was dissatisfied: "Why am I in his charge?"

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "You still care about this. You said it was to assist and protect the safety of the villagers when they built the wall."

Zhang Zhen snorted and said, "Lei Zheng should be allowed to go, they are a family."

Zhang Jin was speechless, and said with a serious face: "You are now a water conservancy engineer. You have always been in charge of the canal affairs. You will go to whoever you don't, and you are also patrolling. The responsibility is heavy."

"When did I get promoted again?" Zhang Zhen laughed and said, "I'm not a child, you still use false official name to fool me."

"How can it be called fooling around? There is always a reputation for what happens. Water conservancy is a major issue for our rural people. There is nothing wrong with being an official." Zhang Jin said seriously.

Zhang Jin felt that he couldn't say that Zhang Jin had no choice but to go out to gather soldiers, and complaining was just lip service, and the assigned task would naturally be completed with all his strength.

Dozens of people gathered in such a large courtyard. Although they didn't have too much formal training, they lined up neatly one by one when they gathered.
