Chapter 205 Discussing Road Construction
Yingfeng nodded in agreement and left with his horse.
Ah Si has been busy building the bamboo house, and he and Lu Youjiao from the Lu family have been very close recently.
Since we are of similar age, we naturally have topics to talk about.
The two men were pointing at a vacant lot at the foot of the mountain and discussing something, and they also called the managers who worked for the two families over.
After Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng came back, they first went to talk to Old Master Shen and others about the tablet.
"Grandpa, let's choose a bamboo house to house the memorial tablet."
"Your great-grandfather and I have already picked a place. I heard from the Lu family that they are also going to make a memorial tablet." Old Master Shen's wrinkled face was full of sadness.
The most painful thing in life is to see a loved one die.
"Grandfather, great-grandfather. Daddy and uncle don't want you to be so sad. Our family is alive and well, which is what they want to see most."
Mr. Shen touched his chin and sighed:
"We have to find someone to go to the ancestral land and tell the tribe. I heard that the tribe leader led people to collect the bodies."
Mr. Shen's cloudy eyes also became moist.
"Xuan Heng. Your parents have royal family members collecting their bodies, and your father-in-law and his family are being led there by the head of our Shen family."
"Look, we've already settled down in Shihanzhou. Can you send someone over to tell us?"
The Shen family’s ancestral home is not far from the capital.
When the Shen family became rich, they bought a lot of land in their ancestral land as land for ancestral temples.
A clan school was also built.
The clan leader and elders have always been very kind to the Shen family in the capital. When the Shen family got into trouble, the clan leader happened to send his own child to the Imperial College.
Later, I heard from Ah Si that he met the clan leader and others who were collecting the bodies of Shen Cixuan and others.
Ah Si rushed to find the Shen family members, and the clan leader took people to transport their bodies back to the Shen family's ancestral land for burial.
"Grandfather, don't worry. Write a letter and send someone to deliver it." Fu Xuanheng agreed immediately.
"Hey. I'll write you the address."
"Grandfather. Why don't you write me a letter?"
"That's great." Mr. Shen and his brother quickly stood up and went to look for writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue stepped out.
Shen Yunyue couldn't help but sigh:
“Grandpa and his friends never forget their roots no matter where they go.”
Fu Xuanheng thought of himself, and his clenched fists turned faintly white.
Why does he want to destroy everything of the Fu family?
Fu Xuanheng called Li Gouduo who was passing by and asked him to call back Shen Citong who was at the bamboo forest.
Li Gouduo agreed and hurriedly ran to call for help.
Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng stopped talking and walked one after the other to the Lu family.
"Master Lu."
Shen Yunyue suppressed her lost mood, smiled lightly and shouted.
“Girl Shen, are you going to town?”
Old Master Lu, the head of the Lu family, and several older people from the Lu family were making tea.
The old brown tea leaves in the pot have been boiled several times.
Even though it had lost its tea flavor, Patriarch Lu was reluctant to throw it away.
Tea is no different from other kinds of rice or flour. The best tea is extremely expensive, with one ounce of tea costing dozens of ounces of silver.
I can only satisfy my craving by drinking old tea that costs a few hundred coins per pound.
Shen Yunyue pulled a can of tea leaves from her sleeve and handed it over. "Go to town and find a master craftsman to make tablets for my father and his family, and buy some things while you're there."
"This is white cockscomb from Fujian. Patriarch Lu is a tea fanatic, how does it taste?"
Patriarch Lu took it, opened the lid, took a look, and took a deep breath.
“It tastes like real tea.”
"Go boil some water and bring some clean teacups." Patriarch Lu knew that Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng must have something to say when they came here.
Just as Mr. Lu was about to get up and leave, he was stopped by the head of the Lu family.
"Why are you running away, old man? Let the second brother go and get someone to boil some water."
Mr. Lu smiled and sat down.
"Grandpa Lu, we do have something to discuss with you today." Shen Yunyue said with a faint smile.
She nudged Fu Xuanheng with her elbow and said, "You go ahead and tell me."
Fu Xuanheng cleared his throat and told them what they were planning.
The head of the Lu family knew very well that this was something that would benefit all living beings, and they were all beneficiaries at the moment.
He raised his eyes and said:
"But where did you get the money?"
Shen Yunyue naturally didn't dare to say that they had plundered the money of those people from the Southern Li Kingdom, and just laughed it off and said:
"Master Lu, Xuan Heng sold a painting to Chen Yunting. The painting fetched a considerable sum of money."
Patriarch Lu looked at Fu Xuanheng hesitantly, "Selling paintings?"
He knew that the heir to the Prince's Mansion was a versatile person and was being trained since childhood to be the heir to the throne.
Naturally, a gentleman is proficient in the six arts.
"Our Lu family..." The head of the Lu family wanted to say that the Lu family should also contribute a part, but he just remembered that a few people were still discussing finding work to do.
He immediately shut up.
Such a large family came to Shihanzhou from the capital, and only a few people died. It was really God's blessing.
I'm afraid the remaining money won't last for a few months.
"Master Lu, please don't take it all on yourself. Xuan Heng and I are both born in the Year of the Monkey, so we can always make a few taels of silver no matter what."
Shen Yunyue spoke again:
"Even if I don't look for you, I have to look for someone else. They pay the same salary, but they are not as reliable as Grandpa Lu."
"That's fine. Tell us if you need anything." Patriarch Lu didn't delay any further.
It can be seen along the way that these two people are blessed.
The white cockscomb tea is ready.
I could smell the fragrance from a long distance away.
Patriarch Lu sighed with satisfaction, "I haven't smelled such a fragrant tea in my life."
"I think the mountain behind is also suitable for growing tea. Let's open up a tea mountain in the future." Shen Yunyue smiled slightly with dimples, and gently played with the teacup in her hand.
Hearing this, Patriarch Lu's blood boiled.
Shen Citong happened to walk over.
He first saluted the head of the Lu family, then saluted several elders one by one. Some of his peers exchanged salutes with him.
Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng bowed slightly to show politeness.
"Yunyue, you guys are looking for me."
"Uncle, please sit down. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Fu Xuanheng gave up his cup of tea and drank a cup of tea with Shen Yunyue.
He repeated what he had said to Patriarch Lu.
Shen Citong touched his chin, and his eyebrows moved.
"Okay. No problem. Leave this matter to Uncle Lu and me."
Several people took the opportunity to agree on how to do it and to recruit a large number of workers.
"It's still ten copper coins a day. For lunch, each person has four steamed buns and a bowl of vegetable soup. The vegetable soup must have oil." Shen Yunyue decided on the salary for the work.
"We eat meat every three days, a large piece of meat for each person."
"I'm afraid the salary will have to be paid daily. This involves money, so we have to be careful of those robbers."
"It's not so bad in this regard. The mountain people know who will benefit from the road construction. When it comes to paying salaries, Ah Si, Lu Youjiaoyingfeng and others all go there." Fu Xuanheng thought for a while and said.
"Okay then. Let's do as we say."
After everything was decided.
Shen Yunyue added, "The first choice for the cooks will be to look for people from among the exiles from Xiaotianzhuang and Baijia Village."
The person who cooks can be a woman.
The exiles were certainly not as dexterous as the farmers, but they were willing to use fine flour in the steamed bread they made.
Then, we arrived at Shihanzhou.
Shen Yunyue was very willing to choose someone who was honest and would not cause trouble from among these people to help.
"Okay. My Lu family will also sign up two people with nimble hands and feet to cook." The head of the Lu family was no longer embarrassed, as he could increase the income for the family.
He is still willing to take the lead.
"Master Lu, you have to pick a few capable ones. They will be in charge of the kitchen when the time comes."
Patriarch Lu nodded and agreed.
The Lu family was to select someone who could work in the kitchen. Fu Xuanheng called Chen Xiaogou over and asked him to go to the surrounding villages that night to look for the village chief or headman.
"Chen Xiaogou. We'll need a total of one or two hundred people. I'll leave this task to you."
Fu Xuanheng intends to promote Chen Xiaogou to work for him.
Chen Xiaogou naturally saw his intention.
"Master Fu, please leave it to me. I will definitely complete the task." Chen Xiaogou patted his chest and promised.
"We don't want people from Baijia Village who are too lazy, and we don't want people who are too old." Fu Xuanheng didn't like having power, so he stuffed everyone he knew into the village.
It's okay if someone has the ability, but he can't tolerate someone who doesn't have the ability to make up the numbers.
"I understand. We in Baijia Village rely on working for you families, and there are only a few strong laborers left."
"Yes. You won't suffer any loss if you follow us." Fu Xuanheng comforted him, "There are still many things to do in the future, but you just can't see it now."
Just a few words made Chen Xiaogou very happy.
"I see."
After Chen Xiaogou left, Fu Xuanheng stared at the busy people.
He thought to himself that Yinghei and his men should be back in the next two days.
In the afternoon, Shen Yunyue did not go out.
I took a lazy nap at home.
After waking up, he used his consciousness to discuss with the little fool in the space what to exchange.
She looked at the pile of top-grade herbs on the ground in the space, opened her mouth in surprise and said:
"Were they all exchanged for the Ancient Continent?"
"Master, shut your drooling mouth. Please don't open your eyes so wide if you have never seen the world." The little fool made a clapping sound in triumph.
Shen Yunyue narrowed her eyes dangerously.
He slapped her vigorously, "You have to respect your financial sponsor."
The little fool was so excited that he wanted to ask: Have you ever seen such a humble system?
How pitiful it is to encounter a violent financial sponsor. "Master, it's just a joke."
The little fool dragged out the last word, looked at the laughing man-eating plant, and cursed angrily: "You stinky flower, do you want me to tell the master how much good stuff you swallowed?"
Piranha Plant:…….
Under Shen Yunyue's death gaze, she slowly vomited out a lot of things.
Jadeite as big as a millstone.
Agate with a big head.
Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, black iron, and bones of unknown animals.
Shen Yunyue took a look and reached out to touch it.
The animal bones have a very special feel and the bone knives made from them are particularly sharp.
Thinking of this, she had an idea.
"How much did we exchange for?" Shen Yunyue asked with narrowed eyes.
The little fool shook his head and laughed slyly:
"Ten boxes of prepared pills, 10 jin of sugar, and 100 jin of salt."
"500 jin of rice and flour each."
"2,000 kilograms each of potatoes and sweet potatoes."
"500 kilograms of corn, and instructions on how to farm and build a bamboo house."
"Okay, there's no need to change anything for now. Tell me if you need anything."
After Shen Yunyue finished speaking, she glanced at the carnivorous plant indifferently.
"I'll give you some wild rabbits and wolves to eat later. Don't spit everything out. Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
"If you do it again, I'll cut open your stomach and see."
After saying that, Shen Yunyue regained consciousness.
The Xingwang Grain Store outside delivered some grain, and Mu Ya was asking Shen Yunyue if it was stored in the warehouse?
"Well, put it in the warehouse."
