Niu Laosan looked up to the sky and laughed, and said excitedly: "If this is really the case, our Niujia Town will be famous!" His grandmother is a bear, only ten taels of gold, and Lao Tzu is not distressed at all......"

Fifteen people laughed at the same time, each with a look of encouragement. Several elders watched from the sidelines, and wondered in their hearts: "These dolls have been soldiers for a few years, why do they all look like saints?" ”

"It's the prince, it's the prince in their mouths, these stinky boys are the prince's personal soldiers, and they learn the prince's mental ......"

The eldest grandfather in the old man sighed again and again, his eyes were a little cloudy, but there was a brilliance of wisdom in the depths of his eyes. This is an ordinary old man, he has not read, but the years have given him wisdom, so that he can guess the trick at once.

"The old man is now convinced that the prince is really a living saint! Brothers, our Niujia Village is fighting to the death this time to be the first, Sanwa said that the first prince will come, and the old man wants to see this living saint......"

Several old men around looked at each other, and their faces also showed yearning.

The eldest grandfather suddenly stepped forward tremblingly, and said while coughing: "Don't stay here, big guys, the old man will go to ring the village bell now, and you will also greet the idlers in the village." Sanwazi is now an official, and he is an official who came out of our Niujia Village, and his own doll hurts his own family, so he goes to greet people, let's start doing it today. ”

This old man is not young, but he does things with the vigor and resoluteness of a rural person, he is the most prestigious elder in the village, just this sentence was issued, and the people present all moved.

It's really moving!

But when he saw the man squatting on the ground chatting and farting, he stood up and ran straight home to find tools for work, and the chattering peasant women put away the laughter, and also ran home to clean up the pots and pans, and then gathered in the village yard.

In ancient times, the countryside rarely did big work, and big work was also called public work, which was generally a project of building bridges and paving roads or digging canals, because the countryside was poor, so it was rarely started. The reason is very simple, the clan can't afford to eat and drink.

Big work is rarely done, but once the decision is made, that is, the whole village of all ages will go into battle, each family's household tools must be made up, and each family's pots and pans will also be made up.

During this period, it is guaranteed that no man is lazy, and there will be no peasant women gossiping, and even the bare-chested little children will find ways to help and reduce the labor force of their parents as much as possible.

Knock –

A melodious and heavy bell suddenly rang over the village, this bell is said to have been passed down in Niujia Village for several generations, as long as the bell rings, the people in the village will gather.

Men, women and children from all over the family kept going to the public field, there were men with sledgehammers, there were laborers with shovels, and all the men with tools were looked down upon by the villagers, because the countryside was poor, and it was the ability to buy a tool at home.

Crowded, black pressing!

Several old men stroked their beards and said with emotion: "How many years, how many years has our Niujia Village not done a big job?" I remember the last time I did a big job was a year of martial arts, when we wanted to build a ditch, but the whole village dug for three whole months, the clan was in charge of eating and drinking, and even the little doll could go to the ditch to mix a bowl of rice. ”

The eldest grandfather came tremblingly with a wooden stick, his cloudy eyes swept the field lightly, and suddenly said to the old men: "A few old brothers, this time it is the court that pays for it, this big job must be done beautifully, I am too old to shout, you help the third baby shout, he will be an official in the future, and he will give a prestige mile......"

"If you want it, big brother, don't worry, there are a few of us staring, to ensure that no one dares to show Sanwa face, although he is very young, there is the court standing behind him, and there is a very powerful prince!"

The eldest grandfather's cloudy eyes flashed a hint of wisdom, and he coughed and said: "The old man thinks that this prince is an opportunity for Niujia Village, we have been poor for a few lifetimes and have not produced a character, the third baby and a small soldier were helped by the prince to become an official, and the fourteen dolls from neighboring villages used to go to the border army because they couldn't get along at home, and now they are all officials......"

He paused slightly when he said this, squinted his eyes and said: "Although the third baby is young, he is an official under the prince, and I propose to take him into the clan, and after I die, he will be the person of the clan." ”

"If you want it, what the eldest brother said is reasonable, he should be allowed to enter the clan!" Several old men nodded again and again, the rural people were loyal and honest, and there were not many twists and turns in their hearts, so they directly agreed to the matter.

The eldest grandfather coughed, stretched out his hand and pointed to a big stone mill and said: "Now is an opportunity, while everyone in the village is here, let's let Sanwa go up and shout, and mobilize to do public work, just to give him prestige!" ”

"If you want it, what the eldest brother said is reasonable!" Several old men nodded again, and one of them walked up to Niu Laosan with his feet and pushed him to the big stone mill......

……

The old man looked at the people in the field, and said loudly: "Some people already know, some people may not know, today I take the opportunity to tell you, this is the third child of our village, he came back alive after ten years as a soldier, and now he is an official of the imperial court, and he will manage twenty villages around him in the future......"

The old man shouted, and the noisy voices of the people suddenly stopped, and the old man continued: "Sanwa is now the mayor of the town, and no one can call him Sanbiaozi in the future, but he wants to call the mayor of Niu Town, he is the face of our Niu Village, this face cannot be lost, did the big guy hear clearly?" ”

The crowd responded for a while, and an old woman said loudly: "Fourth grandfather, don't worry, let's listen to you!" Three Biaozi ...... Oh no, it's Mayor Niu, Mayor Niu brought copper coins from the imperial court this time, and he wants to build a big job for us to build Zhuangzi, when he is bare-ass, I look at it big, how can I not support it. ”

The old man scolded with a smile, turned his head to Niu Laosan and said, "Doll, while the big guys are here, you shout!" ”

Niu Laosan nodded, although he was also born with mud legs, but after all, he was a thug who was killed in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and he couldn't keep up with such a small scene in front of him.

"Fellow fathers!" Niu Laosan opened his mouth and shouted, "Actually, there is nothing to shout, just to tell everyone, from today onwards, we will start to do great work, to build Zhuangzi into a town, build a town yamen, build a tax office, and then build a security office, in addition to these three buildings, we also have to build a patriotic education university hall, the dolls go to study, and the big guys also have to receive propaganda and education." ”

He looked at the crowd, and then said, "The four buildings I said must be built, and it will probably cost two thousand yuan. This money is paid by the imperial court, and there is no need for the clan to collect money. In addition to the four town government buildings, there are still 5,500 yuan of money given by the imperial court, and in the past, the village only had to eat and drink for the big work, but this time the big work will pay wages, and the strong laborers will be paid 100 wen a day, the women will be 80 wen a day, and if the children over eight years old participate in the work, they will also be given 20 wen a day. Those under the age of eight are not allowed to do it, and the prince of my family said that he is not allowed to hurt the little doll......"

This mobilization was more effective than anything else, and the people present exploded with thunder, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

Niu Laosan said: "The construction project is too big, not only to build a large number of new houses, but also to build bridges and pave roads, open mountains and dig canals, this big work we can not eat in Niu Village, we need to work together with 20 villages around, they will also be the subjects of Niujia Town in the future, and they also have the right to earn wages." ”

"What you want, what you want, three...... Mayor Niu, you have the final say! There was a shout below, and more than a dozen descendants immediately ran outside the village, and they were going to inform other villages to come and do a big job.

Rural management is so simple, the clan makes a speech, and then gathers the people to shout, and the big thing is decided.

The people were not verbose and did what they said, but when they saw a few men with sledgehammers jumping out directly, they said loudly: "Grandma Niu Qi has no children and no daughters, and her family is the poorest, so let's demolish her house first." ”

Whoever demolishes it first will build it first, and this little thing alone reveals the simplicity and kindness of rural people.

The seventh grandmother in the crowd wiped her eyes and tears, and said with joy on her face: "It's amazing, the old woman has lived in a thatched house for decades, and she has to live in a new house when she dies." ”

The men who carried the sledgehammer laughed, and there was a humane: "Seventh grandmother, don't cry, you are big when we are bare-assed, the family used to be poor and couldn't take care of you, and now the court gives money to build a house, so naturally let you live first." ”

The men who can have tools are all people in the village, and with these men taking the lead, more than 100 strong men flocked to Grandma Niu Qi's house in an instant.

A few more women went into the house to clean up briefly, and took out a few clothes and shabby bedding from Grandma Niu Qi, and the man spat at his hands, some picked up a sledgehammer, and some tied the wall with a rope, and everyone shouted at the same time: "One, two, three, pull yo ......"

Boom, dusty flying.

The thatched houses in the countryside are all earthen walls, and where they can withstand the exertion of many men, half of the wall will be collapsed in just one moment, and the rotten thatch on the roof will fall to the ground.

"Demolish, demolish, Grandma Seven wants to live in a new house!" A group of bare-chested little fart children shouted, and the **-year-old barely wore open crotch pants, and the boy chickens under the crotch shook and flicked, and the fart children ran back and forth excitedly.

"Melon cowardice, dare to be naughty and beat you to death!" A man laughed and scolded, and shouted: "Come and move the soil and clean up the thatch, who dares to be lazy and not give food at night." ”

The little children made a grimace at him, although they were still naughty, but they all ran over to work, and the children in the countryside matured early, and they knew how to help their parents share the family chores at a young age. These little kids have heard about it for a long time, and they can make money by working.

The first house started, followed by several houses also started, and Niujia Village was dusty for a while, and in a blink of an eye, it became a large construction site.

In the distance, several old men smiled like a flower, Niu Laosan and other veterans stood obediently behind them, and suddenly the grandfather exclaimed, coughed and wheezed: "Oh no, the old man forgot one thing, this big job can't be done!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Niu Laosan said cautiously: "Grandpa, why can't you do it?" ”
