Chapter 247: Others were worried: "How can three days be enough?"
One day is enough to collect the raw materials and transport them out of the city, and with the help of experienced villagers, it goes without saying that the efficiency is even higher.
Ruan Mian immediately spent an hour writing a detailed personnel arrangement. Aside from the sand dredging at the Linfen River, which required General Huo's help, she would go to the village to recruit people for the rest.
Three days is not a long time, and they didn't want to waste a moment. Xie Huaian went to the house with her without saying a word.
Although it was late at night, the villagers could not sleep because Ruan Mian had not returned from his meeting with the governor.
They just stayed at home and waited for news from the Ruan family.
As soon as she came back, almost all the villagers gathered outside Ruan's house, wanting to know the result of the negotiations.
Ruan Mian told Mr. Xue about the construction of the main city wall, and then gave his more detailed process and plan to the responsible persons.
Others were worried: "How can three days be enough?"
"It's obvious that the Governor doesn't want to give us a chance and just wants us to become returning prisoners again! How is that possible in three days?"
However, those who have read Ruan Mian’s detailed process are still full of confidence!
"Everyone! This is an opportunity that Madam Ruan risked her life to obtain for us. Moreover, Madam Ruan has made such detailed arrangements. All we need is for us to work together and toil for three days, and then we will be free from the hard labor!"
"So many of us have built roads before, and the road to Wuheng City is also built by us. It won't take long to transport the raw materials. If you all work together, three days will be enough!"
The man looked at Ruan Mian and immediately called over several leaders who were responsible for building the road.
"We just need to strictly follow what Madam Ruan has arranged. Everyone knows what they are supposed to do and just give it their all!"
"When it comes to the rest of our lives, what does a mere city wall matter?!" In fact, they all underestimated themselves.
Strictly following Ruan Mian's arrangements, hundreds of people from the entire village, plus a hundred soldiers dispatched by Huo Zong, came to support.
In addition, she took out a lot of carts from the space that night that were used when she looted the Xuanjia military camp.
They lied that the cart was made by Ruan Mao, and whenever his aunt made a move, Ruan Mao would agree with whatever they said.
With the help of the carts carrying the raw materials, everyone worked together to divide the work. With the existing raw materials and the smooth roads, it took less than a day to transport all the raw materials. Everyone on the site was busy at their respective posts at the same time.
For two consecutive days, the city wall was bustling with people, working day and night.
In the Governor's Mansion, his officials specially brought some women who were originally military prostitutes to present to the Governor, and mocked Ruan Mian at the same time.
"Governor, I think that wall won't be built in three days. Look, more than half the time has passed, and they're still messing around. They haven't even started construction yet!"
"I don't know where that woman got the guts to make such boasts in front of you, Your Excellency! Don't worry, Your Excellency. Our people are watching in secret. Once the three days are up, they will definitely not be able to pull off any tricks!"
The official stroked his beard and brought up the charming women with a flattering look on his face.
"Sir, these are women I have carefully selected. Their skills in bed are incredible. Sir, you are so handsome, how can you come here and act like a monk in a temple?"
Chen Bozong glanced at those women with good figures, his eyebrows moved slightly, and the servants beside him did not forget to remind them in a low voice.
"Master Junma, you should think twice about this matter."
Well, he had only just arrived, and it was not appropriate to rush into some things.
Just when he was about to stop, one of the women, dressed in a Western dance costume, twisted her body in an enchanting dance posture. Her seductive eyes were like a fox's charm. As the bells on her ankles tinkled, she softly pressed her body against Chen Bozong's side.
The official saw that something was going to happen, so he tactfully sent the other women and servants away.
The dancer's delicate hands hooked around Chen Bozong's shoulders, and her slender legs, which should have been hidden under her clothes, wrapped around Chen Bozong like a snake...
The subordinate walked out of the Governor's Mansion with a smile on his face. After getting on the carriage, he looked at the Lanqiang man sitting in the carriage and snorted.
"Your goods are indeed quite good. The woman just now was truly charming and graceful. Our Governor-General really likes her."
The man smiled faintly and said in a shrill voice, "How could any normal man in the world resist such a beauty? Not to mention, she came from General Hu Lie's mansion."
"Oh? You were a noble man before?"
"That's right. He made a mistake and was expelled by the general. He had nowhere else to turn to, so he came to me."
At the same time, loud laughter of men and women could be heard from the side rooms of the Governor's Mansion.
This woman was the most charming woman Chen Bozong had ever seen. She was so charming that he could not pay attention to state affairs and could not even distinguish between day and night.
When he was finally exhausted, he reluctantly came out of the woman's arms and wanted to have a good rest.
However, before he fell asleep, someone came hurriedly to report.
"Sir, sir! The person in charge in the city reported that the main city wall has been...built! They asked you to go and inspect it." Upon hearing this, Chen Bochong suddenly sat up in shock as if he was dying, and stood up with a somersault.
"Are you serious?"
Didn’t Wang Dezhun say the night before that they would definitely not be able to complete it?
He quickly put on his clothes and headed for the city wall.
Although the bricks and stones of the city wall have not yet dried, this stone wall, which is several meters high, stands neatly in front.
Hundreds of people stood under the stone wall, admiring their own masterpiece, and the sense of accomplishment in their hearts was self-evident.
I didn’t expect that it would really create a miracle!
The leaders were so excited that they told Ruan Mian the good news.
"Madam Ruan, thanks to your command, we were able to work so closely together and build this magnificent city wall in such a short time!"
"Yes, at this rate, even if we build the entire outer wall of Wuheng City, half a month will be more than enough!"
When Chen Bochong arrived in a carriage and saw the huge city wall, he was stunned and couldn't believe it.
He thought that this woman just wanted to use this bet to delay time. He wanted to see what she was up to. Maybe she would call Xie Huaian to help her behind the scenes.
Now it seems that she was really prepared at that time, which is why she made the three-day bet with such confidence.
But, such a project, in just three days! How did she do it?!
While he was still confused, Ruan Mian had already stood in front of him politely, and after bowing, he spoke frankly.
"Governor, I have successfully fulfilled our three-day agreement, and I have fully demonstrated to you the value of our villagers." "With General Huo and Stationmaster Xie as witnesses today, I hope you will honor our agreement."
At this moment, Huo Zong, holding his spear, walked up to Chen Bozong and said with a smile: "Sir Chen is an official sent by the court. Naturally, he will keep his word and will not tolerate any gossip from others."
Besides, there were so many people standing nearby, so Chen Bochong certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to go back on his word on the spot.
The corners of his lips twitched a little, and he said awkwardly, "If that's the case, I'll definitely do what I say."
"Madam Ruan, you are very capable. Your Jinsha Village is truly priceless. I hope you can put these skills to good use in the future, work together to build Wuheng City, and achieve something that will please the emperor."
When everyone heard this, they were very excited. As soon as the governor left, they couldn't wait to go back to the house to report the good news.
Ruan Mian took his family to the post station where Xie Huaian was, and after rewarding himself with a meal, they returned to their home.
