Protect Our Patriarch

Chapter 81: Stepping stones on the road of Emperor

  ……

   A few days later.

   There are hundreds of ships working on Zhuwei Lake, which is tens of thousands of acres.

  Those ships, such as transport ships, dredging ships, etc., are all vessels suitable for use in calm inland rivers. In order to collect these ships, Wang Shouzhe also used a lot of contacts.

  Especially on the Chen's side in Donggang, there are also waterways crisscrossing the inland. There are a lot of small boats, and there are also a lot of shipbuilding workshops.

   I want to say that Chen Fangjie's future brother-in-law is good. With his light, he spared no effort to help from buying small old boats to custom-made dredging boats, and also took care of the transportation.

   The future brother-in-law is very good, and Wang Shouzhe will naturally not be stingy. Under the excuse of the other party's previous help, Wang Shouzhe directly offered five thousand quintals of new-produced wheat grains. As long as it was processed through a mill, it would be a good flour.

The bran sifted out by    was used to raise meat and livestock in previous years, but this year it is also a popular item.

   For previous years, although these five thousand quintals of new wheat are also quite valuable, this season is extra different. Because the output of new wheat is very small, the value is far from that of previous years.

   In this wave of cooperation with Wang Shouzhe, the Donggang Chen family also secretly obtained a huge benefit.

   You should know that many children from aristocratic families are used to eating refined rice noodles, and their requirements are not low. They are much harder to serve than ordinary people.

   In short, both sides are very happy.

  The inland watercraft quickly assembled, and Wang Shouzhe's "100-year project" was also rapidly launched.

  Before that, the family would also dredge part of the river every winter, and the silt was used to fill the fields and so on. But the work model at that time was all carried out in a five-person-one-boat approach.

   One person drives the boat, and four people use rakes to clear the silt. Then drive to the destination, unload the silt, and then sail back to dredging...

   sounds like no problem, but in fact this working mode is very inefficient. The small-scale dredging in winter mainly uses the agricultural slack, and the efficiency is a little low.

   But under the vast project, every little manpower saved is a huge saving in the long run.

   Under the instruction of Wang Shouzhe, the dredgers are all sturdy laborers. After boarding the empty boat in groups of five, a group of people quickly loaded the boat with dredging rake, and then replaced with another empty boat to continue dredging.

   The boaters are all a little older, they don’t need to participate in dredging, just sail back and forth. After arriving at the destination, there was a group of people dedicated to unloading the ship, and a group of people dedicated to filling soil.

After    is emptied, the ship unloader will replenish the empty rattan and bamboo baskets in the ship. The boatman immediately drove the boat back and entered the next round of operations.

   After some attempts and adjustments, a set of assembly-line operations has gradually formed.

  The rakes used by the dredgers are very heavy, and the surrounding circle is full of iron bars, especially the sharpened iron bars at the planing cuts, and the denser rattan space in the middle, which requires a lot of effort.

   But this rake can hold fifty or sixty catties of silt, and it can fill a large rattan and bamboo basket in three or two strokes. A smaller boat can only hold a dozen or twenty rattan and bamboo baskets.

  A larger boat, the kind of boat specially used for dredging and inland river transportation, can hold more than one hundred rattan and bamboo baskets at once. The largest ship can hold more than 300 rattan and bamboo baskets.

   A group of five dredgers, and taking turns to rest, can dig about 80 baskets in an hour on average. Therefore, for slightly larger ships, several groups of men and horses boarded together, and finally a group of dredgers was left for finishing.

   In addition, there are some weaker women, children, and the elderly. They are responsible for weaving rattan and bamboo baskets, cooking rice, cleaning and sanitation, or leveling the ground in the silt.

   On the whole, the dredging and filling work started very smoothly.

  At present, there are 80 teams of dredgers, with a total of 400 people, 150 boatmen, 50 unloading masons, 80 filling masons, and less than 100 other auxiliary workers.

   The total number of people in the project reached nearly 800.

   But even so, the dredging and filling in one day is about three to four thousand cubic meters, which is about one-two thousandths of the first phase of the project.

  According to today's human and material resources, even if it does this every day, it will take about six years to complete the first phase of the project. And it does not include rainy seasons, cold winters and other severe weather that cannot be constructed.

   However, it is not easy to open up territory and develop clan properties.

   The ancestors of the Wang family also don't know how much effort and time it took to make Ping'an Town gradually have its current situation. It is not easy for humans to conquer nature.

  Wang Shouzhe’s awning boat was rowing quietly in Zhuwei Lake, watching the construction being carried out intensively not far away.

   "Brother Shouzhe." Liu Yuanrui also said with great emotion, "At this time, I realized the difficulty of the ancestors in developing the family foundation. Every family industry has the ancestors' life-long work in it."

   "Yes, when the ancestor Zhou Xuan went south, the entire Ping'an Town area was a barren land where fierce beasts were rampant." Wang Shouzhe was also full of emotion, "At that time, the ancestors were much more difficult than us."

   Wang Shouzhe stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the vast Zhuwei Lake. It looks like such a huge project, but the actual construction area occupies only a small part: "We have to continue to increase the scale of construction. Now in the Ping'an Town area, there are still many people who can't eat."

   Among the current 800 people, many are Wang's own tenant farmers, and even some of the Wang's collateral children who came to participate in the construction and management. The number of people recruited from outside is only four to five hundred.

  If the disaster is to be truly quelled, it is not enough to recruit so many workers. The team has to be expanded, and the dredging vessel has to be expanded. At least, the entire construction team has to reach two to three thousand people.

  Under this relatively low productivity, it is not easy to carry out large-scale projects, and the progress is slow even with a lot of manpower and material resources.

   However, for basic engineering such as dredging and filling soil, there is no good way except to build an assembly line for construction. He does not have the ability to manufacture large excavators.

   After satisfying Liu Yuanrui's interest in visiting the lake, the Wu Peng boat returned to the main house.

   At this time, Wang Zhong sent someone to report that the casual repairman who killed a rich peasant had been found out where he was hiding. Not far from Dingpu Ferry, a remote warehouse.

   Wang Shouzhe's eyes flickered, and the killing intent appeared.

   He does not discriminate against casual cultivators, and many casual cultivators are not easy. However, what he hates most is those unscrupulous crimes, and then casual repairs with a pat on the bottom and leave.

  ……

time flies.

   A remote warehouse is a place used by a certain family to store salted fish and smoked fish.

   The sales of smoked fish have been very good recently, and the inventory has been emptied, but it is still full of fishy smell.

   A few casual cultivators with fierce complexions all sat weakly, their morale quite low.

   "Boss, is there no news from Liu's side?" A man in his 30s said anxiously, "Isn't it just arranging a boat to cross the river? Is it that difficult?"

"The Wang family didn't know what was going on. They let the deputy guard, the Wang Ding clan, blockade the Dingpu Ferry, and even some wild ferrys were sent to guard them, and they made it clear that they were aimed at us." , The middle-aged San Xiu with a scar on his face said with a cold face, "Everyone stays up for a while and gets through the limelight."

   "Boss, I heard that Wang and Liu are fighting." Another casual repairer said worriedly, "Do you think Liu will kill us?"

"They dare!" The Scar Sanxiu said with a sneer, "It is not the first time that we have done something ugly for Liu. I already have all kinds of evidence in my hands. Once we have an accident, someone will The evidence is sent to the deputy guardian Wang Ding clan. Given the relationship between the Wang clan and the Liu clan, it will certainly not give up."

  The world is full of chaos, and wherever there is interest, you can go wherever you are. Naturally, some families will use them as guns. The bridges that cross the river and kill people have been heard more.

   Therefore, casual cultivator is not a fool. It is natural to take money to do things for you, but it is almost impossible to eat and wipe afterwards. The casual cultivators who can stay together to a few decades and are still alive are all human beings. How can the dangers they experience in their lives be comparable to the children of the family?

   "The boss is wise, the boss is wise. After looking back, take a sigh of relief, and must cut a piece of meat from Liu's body."

   The other casual repairs also breathed a sigh of relief, and they all praised the boss and stunned Liu.

   It’s okay to boil for a while, just get through the limelight. Those Wangs were just acting and garnishing a wave of prestige, and it was not the rich peasants in your jurisdiction that died.

   is at this moment.

   "Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The applause sounded, and at the same time, a young man's voice came from outside: "You all listen, how do these casual cultivators do things? Learn a little bit. You have to leave a way for yourself in everything. This is a very good survival philosophy."

   "Yes, fourth brother." The two boys answered honestly.

   "Don't be wordy, you're done with your hands."

   "Luoqiu, the fourth brother makes a lot of sense. No matter how good you are, there will always be someone better than you in this world."

   The group of casual repairs, their complexion became very ugly.

  'S Scar Sanxiu was somewhat calm: "Since you have already touched the door~www.readwn.com~, you must have come prepared, so let’s talk about it."

   Talking.

   Wang Shouzhe took his two younger brothers and the two younger sisters walked into the warehouse together.

He did not directly answer San Xiu's words, but continued to say to his brothers and sisters: "You have to remember, if you don't know what you can do, our Wang family's ancestor Zhou Xuan went south to open up the town of Ping An, kill the monsters Territory, let my Wang family’s children and thousands of civilians have a place to live and survive. Those of us descendants, dare not say that we should compare with the merits of our ancestors, but we have to protect our home and keep our bottom line. Shame the ancestors."

"You have to remember that the family of the Liu family and the Zhao family has no bottom line." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "It has been rampant for a while, but it is not arrogant. Those clansmen will bring the whole family to an end sooner or later. disaster."

   "Yes, fourth brother." Wang Luo nodded quietly.

  Wang Shouyong, Wang Shoulian was also a little excited, his face flushed with excitement. Our Wang family is an orthodox family passed down from the ancestors of Zhou Xuan, and it is fundamentally different from the jackal family of the Zhao family of Liu family.

"I, Wang Luoqiu, you don't need to remember my name." Wang Luoqiu's eyes burst into a fierce and tough aura, "I shoulder the expectations of my ancestors in the sky, and I am bound to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise of the Wang family. You villains, you are all stepping stones on the path of the emperor of this lady, weird experience!"

   "Boom!"

   Wang Luoqiu rushed into the casual repair group like a cannonball.

   Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched.

   Can you not worry about this little aunt's grandmother, my family sense of honor, and the correct three-view education is not over yet?

   This girl's petty temper!
