There are large-scale construction projects everywhere in Xiaohongling village, and piles of people are busy like worker bees. There is a lively scene in which the village wall has expanded more than three meters away. The wall is covered with three-piece soil, wrapped in blue bricks. Trenches are dug on the outside and suspension bridges are installed.

In the village, there has been a prototype of a small town. The schoolyard, barracks, workshop areas, commercial areas, living areas..., as well as the village owner's courtyard, warehouses, stables... Around the match workshop, a military fortress with a full function and sufficient capacity to accommodate 3,000 people's lives has been formed here.

This is true! It fully highlights the military function. It may not have much effect on the imperial army, but it can be said that it is impregnable when facing bandits in the countryside.

Qin Bai walked on the wall of the village, looked out the outside of the village, sighing: "Are we building a city on the flat ground?"

"Then call it Xiaohongcheng!" Li Gan made fun of it. Perhaps every descendant of Yan and Huang has the genes of infrastructure madman, and the people here have some sense of pride.

"Then change it!" Qin Bai smiled and was as good as a stream of goodness, causing laughter.

"How long will it take to complete?" Qin Bai asked Wu Lisong beside him.

Shortly after the Chinese New Year, Wu Lisong returned as promised and brought more than 60 people and more than a dozen families. So he arranged for Wu Lisong to be responsible for the construction of this Xiaohong City with dozens of people from Cangzhou.

"It will take more than half a year." Wu Lisong replied, "Bai Er, the same old saying, I lack people here, bricks, stones and wood. You, the boss, cannot be a hand-off manager, otherwise I will ignore the delay in the construction period?"

Qin Bai smiled and knew that Wu Lisong had a lot of opinions about him. The team of 500 people had been trained entirely and did not have half a day of work like before. Although all the remaining people were organized into the production team, they had to take care of the staff of digging iron ore and match workshops, and there were so many new construction projects, so the staff became very short again.

However, it is impossible to use Xiaohong City to build a construction work, and you can only be completely at ease with your own people. But it is unrealistic to recruit new people. Now, you can really recruit people, but what should you do in the future? Will all be disbanded when all the construction is completed? And if they ask to join Yongsheng, will they accept or not? They would rather build a slower speed and do not want to cause any trouble in the future.

As for bricks and stones, in addition to some purchases, brick kilns and logging teams have been built in Shanglin Village. However, with Qin Bai's insistence, about half of the blue bricks and wood have been transported to Fushan Station one after another to support the construction of Dong Chuan, resulting in the gap in Xiaohong City remained high.

In fact, Qin Bai was also quite helpless. He couldn't say anything about the pain in his heart. Although Xiaohong City has been slowly built, do others know? They will eventually give up all of them!

According to Qin Bai's vision, the full relocation will begin in half a year, and the relocation will be basically completed in a year. In two or three years, when the Fushan Institute base can gain a foothold, Qin Bai will cut off everything in Jingjiazhuang and completely give up the foundation here. Therefore, while watching the construction and preparing to give up, Qin Bai's mood is quite complicated.

Although the money spent on construction is definitely a huge waste, it is not enough to do without construction, which is really depressing. Without this solid old nest, you will not be at ease during this period. After all, there is always a suitable base around foreign enemies.

"Let's do it first! We're not in a hurry." Qin Bai waved his hand at Wu Lisong. Then he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Li Gan immediately said, "Second brother, when we were collecting the match rods, we discovered something. Some families handed over a lot of match rods, which can be more than ten times more than ordinary families."

"Will the things you handed over be used together?" Qin Bai felt very strange. Do you still need to ask yourself such a small matter?

"It's better than other people's products. They're exactly the same, and there are almost no defective products."

"Then let's take it?" Qin Bai felt more and more inexplicable. Since others have the ability to do more, it is natural to let him make more money.

"No, second brother." As he spoke, Li Gan took out an iron tool. There were four by five holes in the middle, and the edges of one end were sharpened. "Didn't you say you wouldn't let other people do it? This family did too much, so some people jealous and reported it to us..."

Listening to Li Gan's introduction, Qin Bai finally understood the whole story of this matter. It was not very complicated. It was nothing more than that others made match sticks one by one. The man used his brains to go to the relatives of the blacksmith shop to make a free mold and made this special tool. As long as he hit it with a hammer, he could easily make twenty at one time.

The sudden increase in output immediately caused others to be jealous. Although the man kept it confidential, he could not guard against the red-eyed patient's reports. Since Yongsheng stipulated that the outsourced match rod and matchbox could not be subcontracted, Li Gan sent someone to search the home of the family and then found the tool.

Qin Bai was a little amused and laughed. What kind of messing things are all? Do you have to take care of food, drink, defecation and urination by yourself? With the intention of testing Li Gan, Qin Bai asked back: "Danzi, tell me what you want to do?"

"Uh?" Li Gan was undecided, "That man did not violate the rules, but he always thought that this was wrong. He could make more than ten times more than others, so this matter was not authentic. I just wanted to take this thing away and not allow him to use it in the future. It was the same, so I should have nothing to say, right?"

Qin Bai nodded, knowing that this is the limitation of small peasant thoughts, and not worrying about inequality while worrying about inequality! It cannot be said that what Li Dan thought was wrong. Improving productivity is a production issue, while income fairness is a social issue. Isn’t the industrial revolution just causing the bankruptcy of a large number of small peasants’ economics? The most typical example is the “sheep eat people” incident!

However, Li Gan's idea is completely putting the cart before the horse. For such a smart person, he should be protected and encouraged, and he cannot crack down on and suppress.

Qin Bai thought about it and ordered: "Make 200 of this thing first, and make it in our blacksmith shop. Each piece is 2 taels, give him 400 taels. You also need to sign a contract. Within three years, you will give him 2 taels for every extra one. In three years to fifteen years, each piece will be 5 coins. It will be used for free after the expiration of fifteen years."

"Ah?" Everyone around was shocked. Li Gan showed an incredible expression, "Second brother, why do you want to give him money?"

"Nonsense. With this thing, making matchsticks is fast and good, why not? And this is my own person, so it's not necessary that I have to grab this big cabinet openly, right?"
