Straight man of steel

Chapter 103 Civil Engineering
The next day, Zhuo Wenjun went to negotiate with the villagers here before according to what Zhang Yuan said.

Zhang Yuan originally thought of going by himself, but in the end, Zhuo Wenjun, a beautiful woman, would go there, and things would go more smoothly.

The village has been deserted for half a year, and it was not cleared up until late last night that there is room for dozens of people to live.

As a result, the plan to make the fence was delayed, and all the middle-aged men except Zhang Yuan went to harvest corn. It's not that Zhang Yuan didn't want to go, but his skin would itch after a short while.

It made these women in Zhang's mansion think that their sons should be born with tall buildings, not workers.

In desperation, Zhang Yuan had no choice but to take care of the child.

Children are wonderful creatures. When they are chubby and lying on the bed, smiling cleanly at others, everyone likes them very much. But if their noses runny and their crotches are covered with shit and urine, then It's hard to accept.

Anyway, Zhang Yuan doesn't like other people's children sticking to them like yellow mud. Of course, it's limited to what they don't like. Who would treat children with malice?

Such Zhang Yuan made Zhuo Wenjun, who returned to the village after finishing his work, stand aside and watch for a long time.

"Ayuan, do you want a child?"

Regarding this question, Zhang Yuan didn't even raise his head. What did he want the child to do when the big man hadn't figured out whether he could survive?

"Let's talk about it. When you have a wife in the future, let it take its course."

The combination of Zhang Yuan and Zhuo Wenjun is very strange. Outsiders regard Zhuo Wenjun as a merchant under the Zhang family, but the family members except Xiaoqing regard Zhuo Wenjun as the hostess, while Zhang Yuan always regards Zhuo Wenjun as the hostess. Friends who live here with him.

There will be no results if this kind of question is delved into. Zhuo Wenjun tried countless times, but this time he just asked a random question, but when he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he left to order the servants to work.

With the efforts of Zhuo Wenjun, there were originally 35 households in this village, except for 23 households who were missing, there were [-] households left, and [-] households agreed to come back and become tenants of the Zhang Mansion.

The population of these [-] households immediately doubled the number of people in the Zhang Mansion.

The household registration of these people should not only be noted in Lantian County, but also be noted in the official office of the Shaofu in Shanglinyuan, so as to prevent these people from being shot and killed by the Qimen army as savages when they go out.

At the beginning, these tenants who moved back got along with Xiong Da and his family a little unhappy, and it was also because Zhang Yuan had occupied their house before, and they had quarreled several times because of this.

Zhuo Wenjun mediated several times before calming down the anger of the two groups. Zhang Yuan didn't know what Zhuo Wenjun said, but she was used to managing the people below her as a superior, so the method she came up with was nothing more than the old way. A set of methods.

Zhang Yuan was born unable to manage people, and it was the same before he crossed over. Although he studied logistics management, his temper made him unable to manage a few people. It would be good to set some boundaries at will and let the people inside grow freely.

"Patriarch, winter is coming soon, how do you think this food will be rationed?"

From the time those tenants came back, Lao Zhao changed Zhang Yuan's address, and also restrained the others to change their address.

Maintaining Zhang Yuan's majesty became the first thing that Lao Zhao, the butler, had to do. Except for Zhuo Wenjun and Zhang Yuan, they all had the idea that they were servants. For this matter, Lao Zhao unconsciously Made many things.

"Isn't it Zhuo Wenjun who handles these days, why are you asking me now?"

"A few days ago, everyone ate the grain bought from Lantian. Naturally, no one has any objections to your money. It is cheaper for them to share more or less. But now the grain in the field has been harvested. Those tenants I feel like it’s time for you to honor your promise to them.”

Zhang Yuan said that he would compensate these tenants every year for the grain they had received before. Now it seems that this approach can only completely divide them into two groups with Xiong Da and others.

"Go and tell them that every family will give some monthly money in the future. Whether they buy food or drink with this money, I won't interfere. As for the food, let's restore the appearance of the mansion before. Several houses were emptied and turned into a hall, where we will eat in the future."

The monthly money Zhang Yuan paid them was all better quality silver. Although it was a little less than Xiong Da’s, it was definitely more profitable than distributing food to them. If this was done, no one would complain.

The large dining hall that Lao Zhao was asked to build was completed in just one day with the efforts of everyone.

Lao Wang alone can't take care of the meals for nearly two hundred people. Since then, he has become the only big man in the village who has subordinates.

Lao Wang was only responsible for the food of Zhang Yuan, Zhuo Wenjun and Xiaoqing, and handed over the rest to those cooks.

After harvesting the millet, late autumn left, the great man entered the fifth year of Liu Che's accession to the throne, and Zhang's first winter in the closure of the field.

With dozens of people more, the speed of weaving fences is much faster. As soon as winter arrives, the two-meter-high yellow mud fence tightly surrounds the entire village.

The plaque with the words "Zhang Mansion" engraved on it was also hung squarely on the wooden door.

Shaofu Cheng, who had already been here once, did not express any opinion. Anyway, this land was given to Zhang Yuan. A nobleman built a house on his own land for himself to live in. This is in line with the law of a big man. Law.

There is also an official residence surrounded by high walls in Weiyang Palace.

After completing the fence, Lao Zhao began to lead the men to build a house that fit Zhang Yuan's identity.

After staying with Lao Zhao for a long time, Xiong Da and the others have also learned some carpentry work. As for these tenants, they originally built this village, so building houses will definitely not be a problem.

The plan was drawn by Zhang Yuan. It faces south and is square. A canal is led from Chanshui into the mansion. The main house is built on a high place.

Then Zhang Yuan asked Erdan Fugui and the two of them to enter the Lantian Mountain with weapons, hoping to find a stream or spring from south to north and then introduce a place of running water.

In this way, two streams of water can divide the entire house into several pieces. Zhang Yuan likes to be orderly. The sound of flowing water also allows him, who is not qualified to listen to music, to enjoy the gifts from nature.

After Zhang Yuan intervened in the construction of the Zhang Mansion, Zhuo Wenjun was free. There was no output in the mansion to sell, and the things for the winter had already been bought back. The servants were doing some simple carpentry with Lao Zhao. All the things that belonged to her disappeared in an instant.
