"Hey, the roof didn't collapse. Hey, it's really strange!" The seven brothers woke up early. They slept early last night. Whoever is better is more energetic now.

In the morning, "Master, the house we built together is actually in good condition? It's so white and thin inside, what is that?" The seven brothers looked at Fang Zhuan together.

"That's not important. What's important is that you didn't touch it randomly, right?" Fang Zhuo said while eating breakfast.

"No, no, no, we are just watching. How dare we move?" In the past nearly half a month, the seven brothers' belly and Chinese language have made the fastest progress.

"It's fine if it doesn't move. If it does, you'll be ready...yes, you can be plumbers, haha," Fang Zhuo said jokingly, while Bai Yi listened very seriously, "Okay, okay, okay,

Look at the seven of them, Feng Lun is the only one who has arranged things to do, and the others can't always stay in the yard."

"Aren't they originally your guards? Shouldn't they be guarding you?"

"That won't work. I don't need any guards now. You can arrange things for them to do. Seeing as you are so busy every day, it's not good for us to be idle like this." Bai Yi, like them, has been busy since arriving in Yanshan County.

It's very leisurely, because I can't show my face in front of outsiders, so I can only stay in the yard. Apart from cleaning, there is really nothing else to do.

"Okay, I just have something to do today. I'll arrange it for them after dinner."

Fang Zhuan arranged for the seven brothers except Feng Lun to do something. It was a big project, building a water tower!

Water towers have disappeared in many cities today. More than 20 years ago, almost every city had them. Their purpose was to store water and use the height of the water tower to deliver water to thousands of households. Later, the water company upgraded it and turned it into a pressure pump.

Fang Zhuan couldn't tell exactly what it was, but in the environment he was in now, the only thing that could be used was the water tower.

There are many requirements for the water tower. First, make sure the foundation is stable and dig a hole! This is the most important thing for the six brothers in the morning. After explaining how to dig, how deep to dig, and throwing away the tools, Fang Zhuo left, leaving behind a group of people.

Six people with miserable faces.

What Fang Zhuo has to do today is very important. His land deed owns fertile land that can be said to belong to almost half of Yanshan County. Not only did he take over more than 3,000 acres of land from the previous landlord, he also took part of it occupied by the county magistrate.

, if you pass through Yanshan County and divide it into the east and west sides from the center of the county, then the west side of Yanshan County will be all Fangzhuan. As the saying goes, you must first settle down the inside before you fight against the outside world. You must clear your own land before you can be a good person.

Lead the villagers out of poverty and become rich.

Half of the fields in Yanshan County are very large, but why are they only 3,000 acres? In this era, the development and utilization rate of land is very low. Some lands have stones, not only small ones but also large stones.

The villagers couldn't knock it away or move it, so the land could only be left abandoned. There are many places like this near the mountains, and the soil is very thin. There are rocks below only a few dozen centimeters, so it takes up half of the edge.

There are only 3,000 acres in Shan County. In addition, the yield per mu in that era was frighteningly low. It is not easy for the entire Yanshan County to survive until now.

However, the land development situation in the east of the county is much better. Only the land development rate in the west of the county under Fang Zhuo's name is low. These are also the reasons for the low development rate. After the managers of each village were gathered, Fang Zhu asked everyone to use the land occupied by their respective villages in one place.

I learned about it by drawing it on a map the size of a wall.

It can be seen from the map that the west side of the county belongs to him, but the land occupied by each village is dotted. When asked why, it is not that they are all stones, or the soil is very thin and cannot be planted.

In fact, there is water in this place, and Fang Zhuan also knows it. He has seen Yuanhu Village before, and there is fertile farmland down the mountain. The land use rate is not as low as seen on the map. The reason for this is that the original landowners and

In the game between the villagers, the total amount reported to Fang Zhuan is now 3,000 acres, but in fact the villagers have more than 5,000 or 6,000 acres of land. The extra land does not require taxes on the harvest, let alone rent to the landlord.

Son, as long as the villagers give a little benefit to the grain collectors and the evil slaves of the landlords every year, the extra fields and the harvest in the fields will be able to get away with it, and no one else in the county will actually measure it. This is what the original villagers

their way of survival.

As for the actual situation, Fang Zhuan was very worried. He could clearly see the situation on the ground from the aerial camera. Why didn't he know? He just didn't expose them on the spot. They said that there were places where planting could not be done, but they mostly concealed it.

Looking at the nine people below, Fang Zhuan didn't have anything nice to say: "Your fields are also dry. This year's rent has been taken away by the original owner. I won't ask for it again. Starting next year, our rules will remain the same."

, but there are some changes in Yuanhu Village. Half of the land will be taken back, and the rent of the remaining half of the fields will be halved from next year. It was originally 50%. Next year, I will only be given 25%.

If you want to get water to irrigate your fields, you can go to Yuanhu Village and learn from what Yuanhu Village does. You can also get water. This year is only half over, and you can continue to plant crops or other things. This year's harvest will be yours.

There's just one thing. If you continue to deceive me as the original landlord, then we will do it the same way as before, 50% of the rent, not a penny less. If it's okay, we can go wherever we need to go."

Fang Zhuo's words made all nine people confused. At the same time, they all looked at Zhao Laosi. It was Zhao Laosi who was responsible for contacting everyone here. Now what Fang Zhuo said was obviously someone who said something that shouldn't be said.

of.

Fang Zhuan looked at it and said to the nine people: "Don't look at Zhao Laosi. He didn't say anything. We all know how big your fields are. We just asked you to draw the land yourself to give you a chance."

, do you think that I have never been to your village, so you can fool me like this? Let me put it another way, if you don’t draw the places and say that crops cannot be grown for one reason or another, then don’t touch these places. I will

I will send people there, I can use those lands, and I will report to the government how many more lands there are!"

After Fang Zhuo finished speaking, he turned around and left. In fact, it doesn't matter who owns those lands. What's important is that these village stewards are unwilling to tell the truth, and there is a big gap between them and Fang Zhuo. It's not like he and Zhao Laosi.

Time is from unfamiliarity to familiarity, and the contact with the other eight villages begins with the relationship between the landlords and tenants, so if you want to break the barriers, you must rely on time or means!

The nine village stewards, including Zhao Laosi, left Feng Mansion and walked out of the Feng Mansion. Zhao Laosi shouted injustice: "Everyone, you know who I am, Zhao Laosi, and my life is at stake."

I, Mr. Zhao, will never dare to say anything about important matters. I have never even told you about the situation in our village. Master Feng has never asked. But to be honest, what is your village and your fields like? Master, where are you?

You can see everything clearly about this magical creature! If you believe me, go to our village first and see what Master Feng has done to our village. If you still have a conscience, come back and confess your mistake to Master Feng."

The people in the other eight villages were guilty of not telling the truth, and their stomachs were even more weak. They had not eaten enough, and they had no confidence and no energy to argue with Zhao Laosi. Since there is a water source in Yuanhu Village, let's go and take a look.

, everyone is suffering from the same drought, how come only Yuanhu Village has a water source? Could it be that the water from Yuanhu was used for irrigation in the fields? In that case, Zhao Laosi would not be stupid enough to ask them to see it.

After leaving Feng Mansion, we rushed to Yuanhu Village. The villagers' work and rest schedules were changed back three days after digging the well. Today, coincidentally, was the first day that the water tanker was put into use. Fang Zhuo sent away the village manager, and also

We rode a carriage and wandered to Yuanhu Village.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, it saw a group of nine village stewards in front of it. They arrived at Yuanhu Village at the same time. The water tanker was put into use. The rushing water attracted the entire village, and the water was pumped from a few meters underground.

It is a very strange thing that a few people can pass water up by standing on a pile of wood without using buckets or basins.

The villagers surrounded the water tanker tightly. They were so excited that when they saw Zhao Laosi, no one was willing to get out of the way. But when they turned around and saw Fang Zhuan, they immediately moved aside. As for the water tanker, Fang Zhuo

I had seen it before. At this time, the visitor wanted to see if there was enough water. He didn't care about the water tanker. He glanced at it twice and then moved away, letting the villagers see enough.

Fang Zhuan checked the use of bricks and cement beside the well, and it was pretty good. Everyone was looking at the water wheel. There was actually a little guy beside the well, repairing the bricks and stones laid yesterday. It seemed that they were not done properly.

The flatness is slowly being repaired. Logically speaking, these wells are not meant to be beautiful. The purpose of adding bricks and stones around them is to make them more stable. No one cares about whether they are flat or not.

Fang Zhuo walked to the side and called the little guy who was still repairing it over. Fang Zhuo was not very old. He was only seventeen years old in ancient times. He looked at the little guy who was only a few years younger than him and said, "What's your name?"

name?"

"Master, my name is Zhao Xi!"

"how old are you?"

"fifteen!"

"How many brothers are there at home?"

"Well, there is also a younger brother and a younger sister."

"Where's your dad?"

"over there!"

"You call me over."

After a while, Zhao Xi and his father came together. Fang Zhuan saw that his father was not very old and could farm independently, so he expressed his thoughts, "Zhao Xi is good, I want to take him away and learn from me."

, are you willing to let him come with me?"

"Master, you have the final say. Haha, being able to follow the master is a blessing for our family. Xiwa, from now on, follow the master and follow the master's arrangements!"

"Yes dad."

This thing was done very efficiently. Fang Zhuo drove the carriage and Zhao Xi back without waiting for people from other villages. Looking at Zhao Xi's repairs, he asked him to come mainly to be a mason. For example, the bathroom now needs to be plastered.

As for wall tiles, I have long wanted to find an apprentice, and now I finally got my wish.

Whether to lay wall tiles or floor tiles, now there are abrasive tools, instead of relying on experience as before. "I am also a novice at this, but I know a little bit. Now I have gone through the normal training. Please pay attention carefully."

Fang Zhuo taught Zhao Xi while talking. Zhao Xi watched carefully from the side. After the work was done, Fang Zhuo watched Zhao Xi do it. It was pretty good and he got started quickly. There were no pipes or anything on the wall.

It is the easiest to stick, but soon you will encounter places with pipes, which will be difficult to work on. "First stick to other places along the way, and finally stick to these places with pipes."

"It's the young master!" Zhao Xi was very serious and did well in what he said and did. Fang Zhuo seemed to have a good helper, which would definitely save him a lot of effort in the future. After that, he ran in both directions to look at the water tower over there, and then came back to look at the bathroom. There was someone there.
