Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 92 Losing the election
The county magistrate keenly caught the subtle changes in the magistrate's brows. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a long-lost smile slowly dispelled the worries of the past few days.
Just as he was about to ask, Long Yi suddenly slapped the table, his eyes flashing with unprecedented excitement, and he exclaimed: "Great! This is really great! If the kang in Zhangjia Village can be widely promoted, the number of people who died of cold in Zhang County this winter will be greatly reduced!"
Then, he almost jumped to hand the blueprint to the county magistrate, and clapped his hands childishly as he looked at it, as if he had already seen the land of the future that would be warmed by the kang.
"I will invite a master of kang-building from Zhangjia Village to demonstrate it at home. If it is as magical as shown in the drawings, I will report it to the imperial court. The Zhang family and Zhangjia Village will surely receive the emperor's great favor and reward!"
The county magistrate read the blueprint carefully, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and his eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation similar to Long Yi's.
He bowed respectfully to Long Yi, his tone full of emotion: "My Lord, you have worked so hard on this matter, and today you finally came up with a good plan. This is not only a great blessing for Zhang County, but also a blessing for us, my subjects!"
Long Yi patted the county magistrate on the shoulder and said firmly: "This is not only a blessing for Zhang County, but also a blessing for the people in cold regions all over the world! The task of forming a team to build a kang is now given to you. Once you succeed, I will record your contribution for you."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's face flushed with excitement, and an unprecedented sense of responsibility and expectation surged in his heart.
He knew that this mission not only concerned the fate of Zhangjia Village, but could also become an important stepping stone in his career.
Encouraged by this, the county magistrate quickly contacted the old village chief, carefully arranged a kang-building team, and rushed to the county seat overnight to personally build a kang for the county magistrate.
Upon hearing that they could do the work personally for the magistrate, the team members, although exhausted, were all in high spirits. The bloodshot in their eyes seemed to be a testimony of their determination. The hard work all night failed to weaken their fighting spirit, but instead aroused their inner sense of honor.
However, seeing how tired the team members looked, the old village chief frowned and gave them a stern reprimand, emphasizing the importance of this trip and the heavy responsibility that could not be missed.
Under his stern words, everyone nodded their heads and agreed, their attitudes became more respectful and their minds became more focused.
Under the coordination and command of the county magistrate and the strict supervision of Zhang Laoer, these dozen villagers seemed to have transformed into skilled craftsmen, with their minds and efforts working in unity. Within just a few days, an exquisite and practical kang was erected in the magistrate's residence.
Wang Hai and Wang Lin, as the final polishers, polished the surface of the kang to be as smooth as a mirror with their ingenuity. Every inch of it shows the craftsmen's care and the extraordinary kang technology.
This kang is not just a heating facility, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of Zhangjia Village, the key to the door of hope for the future, and the best interpretation of the deep friendship of the county magistrate, the old village chief and others to the people of Zhang County.
However, when they quietly left the magnificent threshold of the county magistrate's residence, they inevitably felt a little regretful that they were unable to witness with their own eyes the majestic and elegant demeanor of the rumored county magistrate.
Zhang Laoer seemed not to care about it at all, with a faint smile on his face.
On his way back, he made a detour to the town's butcher shop and carefully selected several pounds of fresh, firm ribs.
Before leaving, the innocent and expectant voices of the children at home asking "I want to eat meat" kept echoing in his ears, especially the unique preference for ribs revealed in the clear eyes of little You Niang, which made his heart soften.
Thinking of this, Zhang Laoer bought some more without hesitation, deciding to use this small luxury to bring a rare surprise to his hard-working wife and lively and lovely children, to relieve their daily hard work and fatigue.
A few days later, after patient waiting and careful care, the kang that carried the whole family's hopes for warmth was finally completely dry.
Long Yi carefully lit the stove according to the instructions on the precious drawing.
In an instant, a warmth slowly spread out, a kind of comfort that was difficult to describe in words.
Feeling the unprecedented comfort brought by the kang, Long Yi's heart was filled with excitement.
Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately bent over his desk and wrote a memorial describing in detail the advantages and comfort of the kang, which was then sent to the capital at full speed.
At the same time, Long Yi did not forget to widely publicize it among the neighbors in the countryside. The many benefits of the kang spread to every corner of Zhangjia Village. For a time, there was an endless stream of families requesting to build a kang, and the demand was so strong that it exceeded everyone's expectations.
Faced with such a huge market demand, although Zhang Laoer was happy, he couldn't help feeling a lot of pressure. It was obviously impossible for him to meet it alone.
So he quickly adjusted his strategy and organized several new construction teams. Each team was led by an experienced craftsman. They adopted the master-apprentice method, aiming to train more experts who are proficient in the art of kang construction in a short period of time.
Their selection criteria are extremely simple and practical.
As long as young people have good moral character, good health and sufficient physical strength to undertake heavy work, they have the opportunity to become part of the team.
Even Zhang Laosan, who seemed a little sloppy and unreliable on weekdays, was noticed for his potential and brought under his command.
For Zhang Laosan, this winter is no longer just a synonym for cold, but a season full of hope and harvest. He secretly vows to use the wealth earned through sweat to build a house of his own for his family in the spring of next year, so as to get rid of the life of living in his mother-in-law's house.
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people. Zhang family's eldest son, Zhang Lao Da, was unexpectedly not selected in this kang craze and failed to become one of them.
The whole Zhang family was in an uproar about this, and all kinds of speculation and dissatisfaction spread quickly. Most people believed that it was Zhang Laoer who deliberately interfered and prevented Zhang Laoda from seizing this opportunity to change his life.
Zhang's old mother was even more furious. She went straight to the village chief's house and had a fierce argument, insisting that the fire bed team must bring her eldest son to participate.
The village chief was forced to privately ask the captain of the third team who was responsible for selecting the team members, hoping to find a reasonable explanation.
Facing the questioning of the village chief, the team leader was neither humble nor arrogant, and stated clearly and logically: "Mr. Zhang has never been diligent at home. Instead, he often steals and gambles. It is no secret that he was arrested for gambling. Almost everyone in the surrounding villages knows about it. If he joins our team, once items are lost while serving customers, it will be easily attributed to our fire bed team. How can we talk about justice then?"
