48 Building the Road (I'm Back Again)
Ten days have passed in a busy way, except for the occasional fluctuation of aftershocks and the remnants of the ruins in the village that have not been completely cleaned up, who would have imagined that there would be such a once-in-a-millennium earthquake in the middle of the night ten days ago?
Ordinary people are a group of people who know how to self-comfort and heal their wounds, and as time goes by, people's faces slowly begin to show a glimmer of hope. The reconstruction of the village is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the return of Li De's team has accelerated the reconstruction progress of the village. However, the tsunami brought by the earthquake flooded and spoiled too much food, and even though Li Tianyang's organization saved as much food as possible, nearly half of the food was still inedible, which meant that the rest of the food must not be able to help the villagers hold on to the two books in the field to maturity. Not to mention that during the earthquake, nearly 20% of the land outside the village was cracked and subsided, and the tide was backing up, and when the autumn harvest came, the grain production was 100% reduced.
In order to unite everyone at the time of the crisis, Li Tianyang boasted that Haikou would get through the difficulties with everyone, and now his father Li De is back, and things outside the family have been slowly taken over by Li De, after all, how to say that Li Tianyang's age is there, and how to impress Li De, it is impossible to really let Li Tianyang give him his hard work and life in exchange for all the belongings he has used to help the villagers in the village. Besides, all the food stored at home has been taken out by Li Tianyang, and now in fact, except for silver, Li De and his family really don't have any food to eat.
For this matter, Li Tianyang secretly coquettishly sold cuteness to Li De, coerced and lured, and exhausted all kinds of means, but he couldn't get Li De to come out with a penny of money to buy food. And even if Mrs. Wu loves her grandson again, even if she is kind-hearted, she will not let her son really use this life-saving capital to help the villagers, and the villagers can't kiss their own children and grandchildren. As for Sanniang, she never said a word about these big things, it was Li De and her mother-in-law who took the idea.
Li De didn't nod, then Gan Xingzhi and Wu Juren would definitely not do it, then don't think that an old fox like Wu Yongkang would be kind enough to help the villagers for free, if it wasn't for the situation, he would have taken advantage of the fire to rob and go everywhere to buy the land in the hands of the villagers at a low price.
In the end, Li Tianyang had no choice, so Li Tianyang could only beg his father that they would drive the brig to go to sea to fish and harvest some catches, while the remaining small fishing boats in the village were fishing near the sea, so that they could save some food and last a little longer. Fortunately, in this era, the sea resources are not overexploited like in modern times, and even if you go to sea offshore, you can harvest 2-3 koku of seafood at a time.
2-3 stone converted into the current weight of 4-500 catties, but the ancient is not as convenient as the modern one, everyone's small boat in the offshore fishing relies on manpower, the sail is used when the wind is downwind, plus there is no method of ice preservation, each harvest of the small point of the fishing boat will be in the middle of a period of space into the seawater to raise fish, the larger fishing boat is at both ends of the boat to build two dark warehouses to place seafood.
It would take at least a day to go back and forth to sea and catch fish, and if the seafood caught was all dead as it is in modern times, it is estimated that by the time you return to shore, it is estimated that the seafood will have spoiled. Therefore, in ancient times, those who could go to Nansha and Xisha to fish in the ocean were at least large fishing boats that ate hundreds of stones on the water, so that large fishing boats could harvest enough seafood to return to fishermen, and such large fishing boats had enough space to ensure that the catch could be transported to the destination alive.
Except for a portion of the seafood that is caught every day, it is digested on the same day, and there is still a lot left. In order to prevent these ingredients from spoiling, the women of the village will clean up the fish overnight and make all kinds of easy-to-store pickled fish, dried fish, and so on. People who live and live by the sea have a lot of hands on how to clean up these things, and the last thing that is missing from living by the sea is salt. For a few days, the village was full of packed sea fish, exposed to the sun, and everywhere you went, you would smell a strong fishy smell! And the little children in the village finally have something to do, and one by one they stand guard in front of these fish to prevent seagulls and other animals from stealing.
With meat for every meal, everyone is more energetic in their work, and the village is changing day by day. And today, with the efforts of everyone, the first thing that is beneficial to everyone has been officially completed, and the completion of this thing has made all the people in the village come to the village center to appreciate their masterpieces of labor.
Because the bricks and tiles could not keep up with the progress, Li Tianyang discussed with everyone and decided to use waste bricks and tiles to build the two crisscrossed avenues first. The two straight roads are staggered from east to west and north to south, and the village is completely divided into four neat blocks. Although there were no modern building materials such as cement, the two roads were half paved with broken bricks and tiles, which was quite high-end at the time. And don't forget, this is the seaside, and the last thing you need is sand, and the golden sand by the sea is endless, you can dig as much as you want, but no one cares about you.
Dig a foot deep, then spread SH sand, compacted with heavy hammers and stone grinders, and finally pave it with pebbles, waste bricks, and rotten tiles. Looking at such a neat and beautiful road, everyone compared the previous village road with it, and said all kinds of sighs about the previous village road.
Even Li Zheng Wu Yongkang saw such a brand-new avenue, and he felt that what he paid was no longer so unacceptable, in his impression, even if the roads in the county town are not necessarily as beautiful as the avenues in the village, after all, the roads in the county have been used for many years, and the county government and county orders, the chief book and others are busy making money in their pockets, who would be willing to spend money to rebuild and take care of these roads, anyway, this road can still be used, isn't it? Therefore, year after year, the original stone road is getting more and more dilapidated, where can it be compared with the current avenue of the village road!
Moreover, if such a road is repaired and reported to the county, it is also a great achievement! Although he is just a lizheng and not a real national cadre, thinking that the entire county can still make such an achievement in the villages under his jurisdiction after the disaster, doesn't that make him brush his face in front of the county magistrate? When the time comes, Li Zheng will see him, who won't write him a word of service, especially those old guys who don't deal with him, don't you have to let him have a good face?
