Surdak nodded and said, "It’s going well. All the needed materials have been bought back. There should be a large number of materials delivered in the day! I’ve only been here for three days, and you’re not afraid to tire these craftsmen out! "
Speaking of this old village head, he said proudly, "You don’t know how many people come to me every day to intercede and beg me to hire them to repair the reservoir. What’s not enough to find such a job outside the mountain pass?"
Then the old village chief took Surdak’s novel and said, "It’s not that I’m too harsh. These accounts don’t count as one … You don’t know what you spend every day. The night before yesterday, I called Selena to count an account … Boy, if we want to work every day, we should throw a golden gold coin into the reservoir, so we can’t think about it …"
"How dare I be tired if I think I can save a gold coin when I finish the day before …"
Chapter 31 intends to
The sun slowly sank into the distant valley, and it was getting a little dark. The old village head waved his hand to signal that everyone could call it a day.
After the craftsmen in the outer village set up some simple felt houses at the construction site, everyone rushed to a small pool to wash.
However, in order to avoid affecting the villagers, the old village head asked the source of the river to lead out an additional canal. After this canal, it will be the main canal of the reservoir. Now it can give some water to the construction site. Now it is simply opened, and a group of men bare their muscles and squeeze the ditch. The scene is also very lively
The old village head of Surdak is discussing where to set the sluice gate of the first-class reservoir. The old village head wants to put the sluice gate in the center of the dam, so the layout is quite satisfactory, but Surdak has different ideas. Surdak wants to set a sluice gate on the east and west sides of the reservoir dam, but this not only increases the construction cost, but also greatly improves the construction difficulty.
After arguing for a long time, the two men failed to say each other’s words with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Rita brought a stack of wheat cakes and the young woman behind Rita was Charlie’s wife. She held a can of vegetable soup in her hand, and two women put the wheat cakes and vegetable soup on the stone platform. The old village head woke up from the dispute, picked up a piece of wheat cake and tore it in half and took a bowl of hot vegetable soup. Some regrets said, "At ordinary times, we can eat corn porridge and cassava to eat wheat cakes once a week even if it is not a holiday .. To build this reservoir, we have to take out two bags of wheat flour to cook scones every day. Speaking of it, some people can’t believe that we will cook scones the day after tomorrow.
Surdak also picked up a piece of wheat cake and took the opportunity to ask Rita if she had eaten it. Rita nodded quietly and then smiled and gestured at Surdak with Charlie’s wife when she left.
"Of course, the post-Wall Village Day will be better than now, and we have just taken the first step." Surdak is full of confidence in this.
The last afterglow of the sunset reflected the wrinkled face of the old village head, and his dark face flashed a trace of worry and said, "I have been thinking over and over these days, how big can the mine be over there?" What can we get after digging the sulfur? "
Probably putting these problems in front of you is what makes the old village head feel more anxious.
"Real wealth is, of course, before our eyes …" Surdak said, staring at the reservoir that has just begun to take shape.
"You mean this reservoir?" The old village head’s eyes lit up slightly as if he had found some answers.
"The reservoir is a middle school …" Surdak really wants to say that the reservoir is an experiment. Once it is confirmed that the pozzolanic cement is really as it is heard, then the village of Wale can transport this new building material to Hailansa to replace the original stone house or wooden house. After Wale can also set up construction teams to build baroque-style gorgeous buildings everywhere. What business can make more money than real estate?
Surdak’s words were directly interrupted by the old village head before he finished.
The old village head was very excited and said, "Yes, when these reservoirs are built, the village will not be bothered by farming in dry season. In less spring, some chickpeas and cassava can be ridged until the rainy season, and everything will get better. If there is enough water in the reservoirs, these wheat fields will not reduce production, and everyone will no longer worry about rations."
“……”
Surdak knows that it is not the best time to say that the construction team is real estate. Even if it is said, the old village head probably does not understand it. On the contrary, some benefits that this reservoir can bring gradually emerge.
He glanced over the village and saw a large tidal flat on the other side of the river bend in the distance from the village. If it weren’t for the terrible waterlogging caused by a lot of rain in the rainy season, it might be the most fertile soil. The rotten reeds and red thatch made the mud more fertile.
Surdak pointed to the beach where the village swam, and said with emotion, "These reservoirs will be built until the rainy season comes, and the rainwater from the mountains will first converge in the reservoirs until the fifth-class reservoir is filled with excess rain, and then it will flow into the beach. I plan to dig a drainage channel over the beach where the village swam in the dry season in spring, so that the beach will not be dry in winter and spring, but the rainy season will instantly become a swamp full of accumulated water, and that land will be a vast fertile land for us."
Probably nothing in this world can touch the old village head more than land. His eyes brightened when he heard Surdak’s imagination. With his years of farming experience, he certainly knew what land was more suitable for farming. His lips trembled, and the delicious vegetable soup even became dull and slightly turbid. He tried to look at the distance as if a beautiful picture had appeared in his eyes.
The old village head nodded and said, "The tidal flat land is full of fertile and ripe soil. If anything can be planted, there will be a good harvest. If it can solve the flood, it will be a large fertile field. If the reservoir can be built, I will take people to that tidal flat land in the spring. If you don’t follow the 433 Green Empire, you will get 60% of the land. Whoever reclaims the tidal flat land will get the remaining 40%."
"Why do you want to give me so much land?" Surdak asked some surprisedly.
At this time, the old village head said to Surdak with a face of course, "This will be your fief, and when you become the Lord here, you will naturally have a share of the new cultivated land here."
"… this is the rule, and you should spend so much effort to build a reservoir to harvest that beach land."
The old village chief seems to have found Suldak’s insistence on spending huge sums of money to build a reservoir, and the ultimate goal is indeed very far-sighted
"…" Surdak didn’t know the laws of the Green Empire.
Those coolies who have been carrying volcanic ash for a whole day will rub each other’s cramped legs outside the felt house at night.
Surdak thought that Carl would order those complete sets of axles for himself and they would arrive in Walvillage with the materials he purchased. He said, "Forty sets of axles will probably arrive in the future. We will have 23 carriages and we won’t need manpower to carry volcanic ash."
The old village head sighed with a wry smile and said, "Those women in the village still expect to earn a good sum of money by carrying volcanic ash. They don’t want to assemble the carriage."
Surdak shook his head and recited the heavy work of volcanic ash. Even if the strong men and women in the village work for several days continuously, they will not be exhausted, and their physical strength is far worse than that of male women. They said, "When the capacity of volcanic ash is enough, we will need more lime powder. Then we can set up a mill specializing in grinding lime powder. Women in the village can arrange to go to the mill if they want to work."
