Luo Yong felt that he was just a hard worker. He had just been idle for two days. The village was going to carry out a big project again.

Of course, it is a good thing to build an irrigation system. He also has to support this matter. In addition to the money and grain that every household in the village needs to pay, Luo Yong donated an additional twenty thrones of cement. One throttle of cement is calculated as five cents. This is one hundred cents.

There is not much money, but everyone knows that Luo Sanlang is very poor now and doesn't want him to spend money. If this hundred cents are paid by the villagers, each household will have less than ten cents. Now, Xipo Village has basically made money, and this amount of money can still be taken out. But Luo Yong wants to give it to him, which is also his wish.

The construction of the canal and water truck was quickly decided. Each household had money to pay, and the food was really not available. Like Feng Gouer and his family, everyone wouldn't say anything.

Tian Sheng and his wife did not hold back this time. Because Tian Chonghu had already taken a lot of money from home, he is still relatively rich now and is very happy to get the money.

Taking advantage of the period before the autumn harvest, the villagers started construction soon. In addition to the staff in their own village, there were also several craftsmen invited from Luo to use the threshing machine workshop to make water trucks.

In fact, as long as you understand the principle of the water truck, it is not difficult to make. The villagers can do it themselves. However, these craftsmen are quite experienced after all, and their tools are relatively professional. The water trucks they make are not only good at turning, but also look better.

The real trouble is the canal, digging and applying cement, and planning. They are in a mountainous area. The water flow in the small streams is not usually large, but when it rains, the rainwater on the mountain gathers, and the water flow in the stream will surge, which may destroy the water truck.

So they had to lead the stream to another place first, and then arrange an irrigation system according to the terrain. The water can be directly used to draw water down at low places. In some places where water is needed to draw water to high places, water trucks will be used.

In the past few days, people in the village often have to discuss how to dig the next ditch, where to dig, where to dig, where to get a big water truck, etc.

Speaking of which, Luo Yong still takes advantage of it because his home has a lot of land. Even if the large area in the sheep house is not counted, at the entrance of the village, his home has a large slope. Except for Eucommia trees, the slopes are mainly used to plant beans. Because the land is dry and not fertile, the beans are not very good. Luo Yong can collect as much as he can, and he doesn't worry much.

However, after this irrigation system is in place this time, the slopes of his family will be easy to grow crops. If you have time, you can build some terraces and add more fertilizer to raise them, and it is not impossible to clean up the fertile fields.

Because of this, he can't be lazy. On this hot day, he runs on the hillside all day long, digs and carries mud and does everything.

"Hey, Sanlang, you can't carry it, I'll do it." At noon on that day, Luo Yong was about to bend down to carry a load of mud, but in a few seconds, a villager next to him snatched the load away.

In their minds, Luo Sanlang is a serious mental worker, and has nothing to do with these physical labor. He saw him working with everyone all day in the past two days, and it was quite worrying. His small body had been injured before, so what if he was tired again?

"I can pick it up." Everyone worked together, and Luo Yong didn't want to make it special.

"You are still tall, don't pick such heavy ones." As a signboard in Xipo Village, everyone also hopes that Luo Sanlang can be handsome and extraordinary. In fact, he is indeed pretty good, just a little short.

The villagers actually had some private discussions, saying that even if we, Luo Sanlang, cannot grow as tall as Du Langjun, would have to be about the same height as the relative of the Lin family, right? Yes, it was Qiao Junlin, who were the same age, and Qiao Junlin was a small part taller than Luo Sanlang.

I don’t know how much the kid ate after going to Chang'an City. When he was in the village, he was a small black man with a stubborn temper like a donkey, but now he has changed a lot. A few days ago, a young wife in the village squatted by the ditch with him and washed clothes for a while, and blushed for most of the day.

"Sanlang, you'd better come here and dig the soil with us."

"The burden-carrying work is done by those men."

"You scholar, how can you carry such a burden?"

“…”

The villagers greeted Luo Yong enthusiastically, not asking him to take on the burden, but chose some light work for him to do.

Lin Chunqiu, who also considered himself a scholar, walked past them with a black face and carrying a load of mud. Some people didn't notice him at all, while others noticed him very much. Just the guy from the Lin family, if he had changed to Luo Sanlang these days, he would have rested at home. Can he still expect him to come to work on the slope?

I heard that Old Man Lin has started to take care of his son recently. He has built canals on the slope these days and asked him to come every day. I heard that he would not give him food when he didn't work hard.

I don’t know if the old man really figured out that he had to take care of this young man or to show him the other sons at home. Who else in the village doesn’t know what happened to their family now? Lin Da Lin’s second brother didn’t know how much dissatisfaction he had accumulated because of Lin Chunqiu.

"I heard that Lin Chunqiu's wife came back two days ago?" Several women were digging the soil while gossiping.

"I'm back, it's only two or three days ago. When I was sent here, it was almost dark. I haven't seen her go out in the past two days." Someone who knew the situation said this.

"I guess I'm so embarrassed." Not long after entering the house, my parents-in-law drove back to her parents' home, saying that she couldn't do housework, and anyone else would be embarrassed about this.

"It should be told that she is amazing. I heard that she is uneasy. She dared to be uncomfortable with Goro and his wife just two days after entering the door." Someone hummed.

"Who did you hear?"

"Who else can you do, her sister-in-law."

"Oh, I heard that she is now..."

"I can't make a mistake, my stomach is big."

"She can give birth. Look at Lin Erlang's family. After giving birth to a girl, there is no movement."

"No, I heard that Lin Chunqiu is now afraid to take Qiao in front of her."

"If you make her angry, then Lin Dalang can agree?"

"There will definitely be a split at that time."

"Just like their family, it's better to split..."

“…”

Several major events have happened to the Lin family recently. Sister Lin is pregnant again, father Lin starts to take care of her son, and Lin Chunqiu's wife is back.

Luo Yong has been working on the slope these days and has heard a lot of people talking about their family affairs. He listened to all the good and ugly things. The more he listened to him, the more he felt that in the future, the second and fourth ladies and the others would look for their husband’s family, they would definitely find a quiet family with little trouble, so as not to be talked about every day.

Speaking of Erniang, Erniang and the others have now arrived in Liangzhou City.

This Liangzhou City is really different from their Lishi County. The poor people here are very poor, and the rich people are very rich. Every day, many merchants come in and out of this city. There are many gems and spices from the West, silk and porcelain from the Central Plains, and all kinds of strange and fresh things. Of course, there are also many slaves.

Zhao Chen and his family had not yet been built, but just had an old house just negotiated. Before demolishing the house and building a house, Er Niang and the others had nothing to do.

She saw that someone was selling unpicked wool on the street, which was much lower than that in Lishi County, so she bought some and went back to pick it up, intending to do some cashmere picking, spinning and knitting sweaters in the next day, and knitting a set of cashmere sweaters and selling it to those merchants who were dealing with it, but she could make a lot of money.

As for residence, Zhao Chen and his friends rented several houses in a residential area. These houses were bought by some local rich people from dilapidated poor people and then re-leased and sold, so Zhao Chen and his friends rented so many yards together in one go.

This house is not very dilapidated. The owners of those houses were not poor and down, but they probably lost money in business. In Liangzhou City, many people in the city are doing business, some are getting rich, and some are going bankrupt.

Erniang and the others lived in the same courtyard with some of the female relatives of the Zhao family. A group of women sat together all day long to pick cashmere and talk about gossip, but it was not difficult to pass the time.

After a while, Erniang and the others found that some local poor people were really poor. As long as they paid a small amount of food, they could find some women and children to help pick cashmere.

Erniang thought that if she could hand over the work of picking cashmere and spinning wool to others, wouldn’t she and Peng Er spend a lot of energy to knit sweaters, so that they would naturally earn more. So they found several women in the nearby residential area, and with someone’s introduction, to help pick cashmere.

The cashmere resources here are quite rich. Although it is summer, there are still a lot of cashmere and wool on the market.

Many of these wools were transported from the depths of the grassland recently. From here to the depths of the grassland, it will take several months to go back and forth. The wool collected at that time in spring has been placed until now and has been transported to Liangzhou City. It is not surprising at all.

Just after Erniang and the others hired people to pick cashmere for a while, a group of cashmere merchants came to Chang'an City. They had to hurry and the price offered was relatively high. Erniang thought about it and said that they wanted to live here for a long time, and the cashmere resources in this place were so rich, so she simply sold the cashmere on hand first, and then continued to find the wool that was suitable for the price and picked it up by herself.

After this batch of cashmere was sold, they also earned a lot after deducting the cost of hiring workers after deducting the cost of hiring workers.

After tasting the taste of making money, Luo Erniang continued to buy wool and hired people to sort it out. She was also very generous to those Liangzhou people who live in poverty. Although everyone said that as long as they could fill their stomachs, Erniang still insisted on making the meals of these people better.

At the beginning, everything was pretty good, but gradually, Er Niang and the others found something wrong. The first problem was Peng Er discovered. There was less cashmere picked out in a few days, and she suspected that someone had stolen it.

Erniang thought about it and it might be because the batch of wool they bought recently was of poor quality and low velvet content.

As a result, the cashmere they obtained daily less and less, but the amount of wool that was not classified and processed was not reduced much.

Now even Luo Erniang felt that among the workers who worked, there might be a thief.

Er Niang and the others told Zhao Chen about this matter, and then Zhao Chen gave them the idea of ​​catching a thief.

On the second day, those people came to work, and Erniang and the others did not mention the loss of cashmere at all, and did not say anything extra. Until after work, everyone walked out of the yard, and Erniang hurriedly called them to stop, saying that everyone had worked very hard during this period and wanted to invite them to dinner outside today.

During the meal, Erniang and a few even advised these people to drink some wine. After they had enough food and food, they said they would take them to a public bathhouse to take a shower.

At this time, these people were already completely alert. A group of people happily went to the bathhouse. Then, while they were taking a bath, Erniang and Peng Er went to the front hall, talked about this with the owner of the bathhouse, and successfully got the clothes of their employers. After searching, Erniang felt that she had been knocked on the head.
