Chapter 101 The Fourth Mountain Temple (asking for monthly tickets)

Yun Village wanted to bluff at will, but Village Chief Wu Mu naturally disagreed. He insisted on giving the best to Lord Mountain God.

It would have been fine if they didn't have the conditions before, but now that their village has its own brick kiln, they must use beautiful fire bricks to build the mountain temple. If Fengyang Village can be built, Yun Village can also be built.

"It sounds nice, but you must be trying to cheat us out of our money!"

"That's right. Why should we use their bricks when they have free stones and wood? Bricks are so expensive. We don't even want to use them when we build our own houses."

"You said the mountain god doesn't eat people, you're just kidding!"

…

The village chief of Wumu was adamant and insisted on using bricks.

Whether they agree or not, they must use bricks, otherwise they will flow out of Yun Village.

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

Xu Zhong was a little worried. If he forced them like this, he was afraid that those people would run away.

The village chief Wumu said calmly, "If they have the guts, just let them run. Do you really think they have the guts? What did they do to Yun Village before? It was a mess, and I can just clear them out."

He only asked them to build a mountain temple with bricks and didn't ask them to perform human sacrifices. What else did he want?

If they would rather perform human sacrifices than spend the money to build a better temple for the mountain god, then it's better not to have these people.

Xu Zhong sighed, and Yu Laoer's family regretted their previous plan to move into the village.

He could see that the people in Yun Village were indeed unreliable, no wonder Village Chief Wumu looked down on them.

If Qinghe Village wasn't short of people, he wouldn't have gone around recruiting people.

The village chief Wumu seemed to see what he was thinking and said, "Old Xu, there is something I don't know if I should say. I know your village is short of people, and you are anxious to find more people to build the village. But have you ever thought about this: if you bring everyone to your village, even if the village is built, will your village be able to survive in the future? Think about Sun Dashan's family."

Xu Zhong: “…”

really!

If they are all like Sun Dashan's family, then forget it.

He doesn't want the village to be full of good people.

"If you really want to build Qinghe Village quickly, I'll give you an idea."

"What's the idea?"

Village chief Wumu asked Xu Zhong to come closer and whispered, "It's such a simple thing. Is the most important thing for building a village people? No, the most important thing is whether your village has a mountain temple. You have always wanted to gather all the people first and let them help you build the mountain temple. Have you ever thought that you can actually build the mountain temple first to protect the village, and then attract people to your village?"

Xu Zhong was stunned: "I don't even have any people, where do so many people come from to build a mountain temple?"

"That's why you're stupid. You know how to recommend the mountain god to other villages, so that they will be grateful to you and lend you people. But have you ever thought about letting people come to your village to work? You can owe them the wages first, let them come to work first, and then pay them after the work is done..."

"Will anyone be willing?" Xu Zhong hesitated.

It's not just that we can't afford the wages. How can we "hire" people when they don't even have food to eat when they work on site?

"Why not? Don't you have a bracelet with amulets? You've spread your reputation. If you ask someone to do a day's work for you, you can give them a bracelet as a reward. Who wouldn't be happy? If you ask them to bring their own food, it will definitely work."

For a moment, Xu Zhong was tempted.

"Your village is special, so the mountain god temple should be built smaller. The key is to invite the mountain god back. Once the mountain god is in the village, the people in your village can go back, whether they want to farm or continue to do business with the help of Carpenter Zhao, it's all the same..."

"If you're willing, you can talk to Ming Qi, Yu Zhongdou and the others and ask them to work for you for a day or two. They can transport the space buttons and materials in a day or two."

"When the time comes, you will also receive a reward from the mountain god for building a temple. With this thing, you can invite your relatives and friends to visit the village, and slowly it will become more popular, right?"

…

Xu Zhong felt that the village chief was indeed the village chief, and his brain was indeed different.

Look, he has been busy for so long and still can't gather people to rebuild the village, but in the end someone just came up with an idea and helped him solve the problem.

Qinghe Village cannot be built, isn’t it because there is no one?

No, not at all.

It is a mountain temple.

Because there is no mountain temple, even they themselves dare not live in the village, so the village has remained empty.

He knew the importance of the mountain temple, so he always thought of gathering people together first and then building the mountain temple. But now…

Without saying anything, Xu Zhong started discussing the matter with Li Qingzheng, Lin Dashan and others.

I think this plan is feasible, but I still need to discuss it with Carpenter Zhao to see if he is busy enough.

Xu Zhong returned to Yilan Village.

Yang Xiangwei, who received the news, said that they finally had some brains. The Qinghe issue had been delayed for so long, but there was finally some progress.

Sure enough, old ginger is still spicy!

You see, this idea not only solved the problem of Qinghe Village, but also solved the problem of Yun Village.

Yang Xiangwei did not expose the truth, but just replied "yes" to Xu Zhong and Carpenter Zhao.

Xu Zhong and Carpenter Zhao kowtowed happily, and after leaving the mountain god temple, they went back to their respective work.

Returning to Yun Village again, Xu Zhong told the village chief Wumu the good news.

Village Chief Wumu smiled and said, "Since you want to hire people, why not hire people from Yun Village as well? I am the village chief of Yilan Village, but I can't be too partial."

"That's not a good idea, is it?" Xu Zhong said, "Yun Village also wants to build a mountain temple. If I hire people away, how can they build it?"

"Don't worry about that. Just hire your own. I'll take care of the rest."

Xu Zhong was confused and didn't quite understand.

The people in Yun Village were slow to work, and building a mountain god temple seemed like a life-threatening task. Now that he has hired more people, when will the mountain god temple in Yun Village be completed?

However, since Village Chief Wu Mu had already asked for this, he naturally couldn't refuse Village Chief Wu Mu's kindness. After all, it was Village Chief Wu Mu who came up with this idea. Therefore, Xu Zhong directly issued a "recruitment notice" to Yun Village.

Unexpectedly, the people in Yun Village were quite welcoming. Even though we had to bring our own food and get "rewards" later, they had no objections.

Xu Zhong really wanted to ask: "Did you hear clearly? You have to bring your own dry food, and I only give you two copper coins a day..."

I'm going to let you bargain for these two coins. Don't you want to talk about a price?

In short, one egg a day is fine, right?

People from Yun Village: Go, go, go, why not go?

When working in your own village, you have to bring your own dry food and pay for bricks. When working in someone else's village, at least you can get a "remuneration".

Maybe in the future, the "god" of their village has changed again.

The people of Yun Village were not picky, but the people of Yilan Village and Nanxi Village were not so easy to deal with. They knew what would happen to the Mountain God Temple in the future, so they started to "discuss" the reward with Xu Zhong without saying a word.

"There are not many people in our village, so the rewards we get are definitely small. Even if each person gets one, there are only a dozen or so. Can you please keep a record of them so we can make up for it later?"

"It's okay! We believe you. We are all believers of the Mountain God. As long as you swear to the Mountain God, we will definitely believe that you will not lie to us."

"Thank you!"

"No, no, you paid for it too."
