Chapter 313: Talking to the Big Boss about Policies
Yan Xiangheng and Yan Yu stood aside quietly.
After hearing this, Yan Yu raised his eyes and looked at the back of his uncle sitting upright.
I was already wondering what the uncle's intention was.
"Building a wall around Xiao'an Village cannot be completed in a month or a year.
After the frost, the weather becomes cold and the ground freezes.
If the border fortifications cannot be completed in time, it will be delayed until the spring of next year, and I am afraid that we will not be able to spare manpower..."
Yan Yu blinked and looked at Yan Xiangheng.
When the elder said this, did they mean what they thought?
Yan Huaiwen said: "It's just a wall to defend the village. It doesn't need to be reinforced with stones. What I'm thinking is that it will be much faster to build it with homemade cement bricks mixed with wood and stone. The whole village, old and young, can join the battle. As long as there are enough cement bricks, it will be much faster."
, it should be completed before winter."
Mr. Tian thought for a moment and proposed to go to the watchtower to take a closer look.
A bunch of people came out of the yard.
Yan Laoer called the girl behind him like a thief.
"What are you doing?"
"The elder wants to see the arrow tower. From what I heard, the uncle must have told the elder that our village wants to be surrounded. It seems that he plans to hire some manpower..." Yan Yu said uncertainly.
Yan Laoer admired him very much: "Your uncle is very successful, but he is not very good. We are from Huju now. Although we want to build walls and towers voluntarily, we do not delay in formulating policies from above and even give money to others."
Okay, you can get whatever you want."
He then asked: "Do you think Mr. Tian is easy to talk to?"
Yan Yu: "Dad, you should have seen more than me. Why are you asking me? The elder has always been very kind."
Yan Laoer raised his eyebrows: "It's different. From now on, your father will study under the great master. It's not an official to the people, but a teacher to the students. I hope that the great master will be a gentleman and only use words but not hands."
Yan Yu:……
Dad, are you thinking a little too far? Are you worried that you will be punished corporally by the teacher if you cannot memorize the homework and write poorly?
"Hurry over there and listen more."
Come back so you can tell me.
Yan Laoer thought this and urged him repeatedly.
Yan Yu felt that he had a heavy responsibility and said seriously with a straight face: "Don't worry, Dad, I will learn from you carefully when I come back."
Yan Laoer nodded solemnly.
His daughter is a professional in this area, so he is not worried.
By the time Yan Yu returned to the team, Mr. Tian was already asking Master Lu about the various data structures and materials used in the arrow tower.
I hold a picture in my hand and keep comparing it.
Yan Yu took a few glances and recognized that it was his uncle's handwriting, so he stepped back and came to Yan Xiangheng's side.
"Brother, what did the elder say just now?"
She was multitasking, listening to the communication between the elder brother and Master Lu, and asking the elder brother to make up for the missed time slot for her.
"The elder asked about the materials of these cement bricks, and dad took the opportunity to ask the elder to give us some lime and gypsum." Yan Xiangheng said.
"Does the eldest master agree?" Yan Yu asked.
Yan Xiangheng shook his head: "I didn't express my position."
Yan Yu thought that asking for things from above was definitely not an easy task, but Mr. Tian was willing to come today, which was more or less reasonable.
It is true that the great master came today to enjoy the people and see with his own eyes how well they have arranged their arrangements. Part of the reason probably lies in the fact that Xiao'an Village plans to build an archery tower and a high wall.
Village Chief Luo and several village elders have been accompanying them. The old men are not deaf or blind, and they are full of energy. They are listening inside and outside the house. Yan Xiangheng and Yan Yu understand. How can they listen?
If you don’t understand, then you hear it too clearly!
Several old men communicated with each other's eyes and could understand each other's thoughts without speaking.
Yan Yu watched as several village elders took the opportunity to express their opinions.
Why, our whole village is not only young and strong, but also old and young can work.
No matter what tower they failed to win, there is Master Lu. They are all good at building walls. Protecting the important things of the village must not be fooled. They must work hard and not be lazy...
Mr. Tian was particularly patient with the village elders. He listened to their chatter about the wheel and did not stop them.
Instead, I went to see a few walls built by myself.
I walked around the village again.
Yan Yu looked at it, and Master Tian must be interested in the wall plan of Xiao'an Village without saying anything.
Otherwise, why would I have walked such a big circle around the village?
On the road around the village, the most familiar people here are Yan Yu and Yan Xiangheng.
The Boy Scouts had to run every day. There was no road on the ground. The more the children ran, it became a smooth path around the village.
The group of people began to circle around the river, and they could clearly see the small ferry and several rafts on the river bank.
Mr. Tian asked a few questions and heard that they traveled to Gufeng on a raft. He told them to be careful. He also heard that the villagers were using fishing nets to catch fish in the river, and there was a little smile in his eyes.
Walking along the foot of the mountain from the river, when passing by the land where the Yan family backed the mountain, Mr. Tian stopped.
"Whose land is this? It grows good vegetables." He looked at it carefully and then asked, "Why don't other people grow these kinds of vegetables?"
Most of the seeds Yan Yu bought from the platform were planted on the land near the mountain.
Especially when Grandma Rong planned the dishes so well and arranged them in rows, she could cure obsessive-compulsive disorder just by looking at them.
Different shades of green, high and low, freely display the beauty of maturity.
It gives people a pleasant feeling from the vegetable field.
"This is my family's land. Huaiwen is ashamed. He has never paid attention to farming. The fields at home are all taken care of by his family." Yan Huaiwen looked at his son and niece with tenderness in his eyes.
Master Tian said "Oh" and asked Yan Xiangheng how the Yan family farmed.
Yan Xiangheng was a little nervous. He knew that after the festival, he would go to the county to study with the elder.
Now it's like taking the test in advance, so I must be very energetic.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said: "The wasteland allocated to our family is thirty acres. After cultivating it, I was worried that there would not be enough vegetables, so my second uncle bought some outside.
After sowing the seeds, transplant the thinned seedlings into the soil, leaving enough space for them to grow...
It is best to water when the morning light first appears, and increase or decrease according to the condition of the seedlings...
Apply fertilizer and water lightly... straighten and secure it when the wind blows...
My family takes the most careful care of the land in Kaoshan. First, the land is a little drier than other places, so water and fertilizer are required. Second, the vegetables are different and there are many types, so more care is needed."
Yan Xiangheng spoke eloquently, and he looked like he had been cooking in vegetable fields.
Mr. Tian smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.
Mr. Tian was very concerned about Mrs. Rong, whom Yan Xiangheng said had mastered more planting skills. He felt a little regretful after learning that she was unable to speak.
Village Chief Luo and several other village elders have never been to the land that the Yan family backs. They have heard from their family members that the farm is good, but I don’t know if it is such a good method. It looks more prosperous and longer than the vegetables in their fields.
some.
None of them could move their eyes away. If the elder hadn't moved, they would have wanted to stand here and not leave.
When they arrived at the edge of the forest, the land where the Yan family planted fruit trees was exposed to everyone.
Yan Yu was a little embarrassed.
We are celebrating the festival in the village today, and no one is here at the training ground.
The fruit saplings I bought were thin and small, and the saplings that had just grown out of the fruit core looked very thin.
The big trees on the side were tied with hemp ropes at random heights. There were many large rocks scattered on the ground, and the flat ground was covered with dense footprints.
A pit so large that the bottom cannot be seen from a distance.
It was only when I got closer that I saw clearly that it was really deep. A few thick hemp ropes were thrown down casually...
