Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 301 Disaster Relief Fund
He couldn't help but recall the few words Zhang Laoer had said before. The wisdom and insight in them were like the first ray of sunshine in winter, shining into his heart and rekindling the spark of hope in him.
Thus, a plan quietly took shape, which led to this evening's gathering.
On the top of the mountain, sitting around a bonfire, it should have been an elegant gathering to watch the sunset and chat about daily life, but now it has become complicated because of the worries lingering in everyone's hearts.
The people sitting around were usually very close friends, but at this moment they all had their own thoughts, with expectations, worries and helplessness mixed in their eyes.
Mr. Guo spoke slowly, breaking the silence: "Everyone, I invited you all here tonight to discuss a solution together. I believe everyone is well aware of the current predicament of the village, and rebuilding our homes is our inevitable choice. However, the continuous disasters have almost exhausted everyone's family assets. Where will the funds for reconstruction come from? To be honest, it is not difficult for us families to get together and rebuild our homes, but what about others? Seeing that the winter is approaching step by step, how can we hide in the warm hut and watch the villagers suffer and freeze?"
After the words were spoken, silence fell in the small circle, with only the occasional crackling of the campfire and the night breeze blowing gently, which brought up a few sparks and then quietly went out in the darkness.
In such an atmosphere, Zhang Laoer, who is usually talkative, could not help but remain silent for a moment, until he felt a gentle and firm gaze falling on him. He knew that it was Mr. Guo's expectation and trust.
There was no need to look up, Zhang Laoer already had a plan in mind.
He is not the kind of person who is willing to make sacrifices without expecting anything in return, and he always considers his own interests first in everything he does.
However, at this moment, he seemed to see an opportunity that would benefit both himself and others.
After thinking for a moment, countless thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Finally, he raised his head with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"We can set up the tent back in the village first."
This sentence is concise and clear, but it is like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples.
The second son of the Guo family was impatient and blurted out without thinking carefully: "Not building a new house?"
Zhang Laoer smiled and asked, "Who said we won't build a new house? What I meant is that we should use tents for the time being while waiting for the disaster relief money from the imperial court."
"While we are waiting for assistance from the imperial court, we are also preparing. In the past, the imperial court has never sat idly by when faced with successive disasters. Disaster relief funds and food will be distributed sooner or later. Although the exact amount is unknown, it is always a glimmer of hope."
“Will there really be money for disaster relief?”
Some people are doubtful.
"Will do."
Zhang Laoer's tone revealed an inexplicable confidence, "Unless there is corruption or embezzlement along the way, the court has sent an imperial physician this time, so they should be cautious."
The words "disaster relief money" were like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the clouds of worry on everyone's faces, but Qi Kai didn't think so: "It's still unknown when the money will arrive, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Are we just going to sit there and wait?"
Having been traveling for many years, he is already familiar with the tactics of procrastination and evasion in official circles.
Zhang Laoer secretly sighed inwardly, it turns out that there are people who understand the rules of the game so well.
A sense of respect suddenly arose in his heart, and at the same time he became more determined in his plan.
"In this case, we must act before time permits."
"Mr. Zhang, please stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us what we are going to do."
The second son of the Guo family has an impatient temper and never has much patience.
Zhang Laoer didn't mind this. He slowly laid out his plan: "Doesn't the village have a public savings? We can use this money as start-up capital. As for rebuilding the houses, I think the whole village should be mobilized, with a unified design style and orientation. The foundations of each house should be temporarily taken back for collective management, and then construction should be carried out according to the overall plan."
"All new houses are made of brick and tile. After they are built, everyone can choose a place to live according to their preferences, and the original foundation will be converted into the land price of the new house. If the new house occupies more land than the old house, the excess will be adjusted from their land; vice versa."
"The fields need to be remeasured and reorganized, keeping their original size as much as possible, and reasonably distributed according to neighborhood relationships. In this way, the residential area is concentrated on the north side of the village, the fields are centrally managed on the east side, and a passage is left on the south. The idle areas on the west and south sides are used to build brick and tile factories, which are close to the stone mountain and are very suitable."
"Building a house requires manpower, materials and funds. As for manpower, we have enough. As for materials, there are plenty of trees on the mountain. As for bricks and tiles, we can make them ourselves and use the sand and soil from the river to be completely self-sufficient. As for funds, we will take it step by step and there will always be a way."
Zhang Laoer's speech flowed as smoothly as a stream. He did not notice that from the moment he proposed the unified management of the foundation, the people sitting around him were already filled with surprise.
When he finished speaking, he was greeted by a pair of eyes that were both incredulous and excited.
"Mr. Zhang, you are really well-informed."
Everyone was amazed that it was truly admirable that such a detailed plan could be planned in just a short moment.
Zhang Laoer smiled calmly: "These are just some old experiences."
Whether in his past life or this life, he has always been able to deal with such problems with ease.
"According to what you said, there aren't many places where we really need to pay out of our own pockets. However, no one in the village knows how to make bricks and tiles."
Guo Jiajie's eyes were fixed on Zhang Laoer, waiting for those two words to come out of his mouth.
Zhang Laoer nodded slightly. He personally might not understand it, but he had a "golden finger" and the rich knowledge in the library was enough to fill this gap.
"No problem, I'll take care of the technical aspects of this."
His eyes were full of confidence.
"Then it's settled, Mr. Zhang. Please think about it carefully and give us a detailed implementation plan in two days. Tomorrow, we will go to the site for an on-site inspection to determine the location of the brick and tile factory."
Mr. Guo was a decisive person. Fearing that Zhang Laoer might go back on his word, he urged him to rest and make good preparations, and also cancelled his vigil tonight.
Zhang Laoer was concerned about the villagers' housing problem and agreed without much thought.
Atop these ruins, a story of reconstruction and hope is slowly unfolding.
When the gentle moonlight filled the simple but warm tent, and the children's even breathing gradually intertwined into a lullaby at night, Zhang Laoer gently stood up and quietly led Xu Liyun into the secret space.
In the space, there is a treasure trove of knowledge that he has carefully collected. At this moment, he looks forward to asking Xu Liyun to find the secret formula for ancient brick and tile making in this treasure trove. He moves to a table covered with drawings and begins to sketch the grand blueprint of the village in his mind that will soon unfold in reality.
