I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

However, Master Xu did not tell the county magistrate about this matter. Instead, he carefully reported the changes in Xiao Zhangzhuang to the county magistrate.

And when they heard that the county magistrate was going to send Master Xu to guard Xiaozhangzhuang, all the government officials also looked at Master Xu hopefully.

Master Xu certainly didn't go out alone, he must bring the yamen servants with him,

Rather than letting them stay in the government office and do nothing all day long, they might as well follow Master Xu to Xiaozhang Village.

Not to mention anything else, the food in Xiao Zhangzhuang is enough to attract them.

When the Li family and the Wang family learned that the dock was going to be built, they also sent people.

Master Xu was also stunned when he saw Li Juntong, "General Li, why are you here?"

"There weren't many things to do in the Japanese army at the time, so I applied for all my vacations over the years. Unexpectedly, my father drove me here after returning home."

Master Xu did not expose Li Juntong, but just nodded to him, and the two of them went to Xiaozhangzhuang together.

Li Juntong is now the general defending the city, how can he be so leisurely?

If he hadn't been worried about something happening at the dock here, Li Juntong wouldn't have come in person.

Wang family, Mr. Wang looked at Manager Wang who was hesitant to speak, and raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

"Guanshi Wang, what's going on?"

Manager Wang hesitated for a long time, thinking about the changes in Xiaozhangzhuang now, and also thinking that he just walked around Xiaozhangzhuang that day and saw so many things that shocked him.

He felt that Xiaozhangzhuang would never be that simple, so he thought that if he could go to Xiaozhangzhuang again, he would definitely have to observe it carefully.

"Master, if you are sending someone to Xiao Zhangzhuang this time, why don't you let me go?"

When Master Wang heard what Guan Shi said, he couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand.

Manager Wang is a son of his family, but he has been with him since he was a child.

After all these years, Manager Wang has never left his side.

Now, because of the incident in Xiao Zhangzhuang, Manager Wang actually asked to leave his side, which surprised Manager Wang.

"What? What attracts you to this little Zhangzhuang? I've asked you to come back for so many days, and you're still thinking about it?"

Guanshi Wang didn't hide from Master Wang, but told Master Wang what he thought.

"Master doesn't know. Many things that I saw in Xiaozhangzhuang before, are things that I have never seen before Da Zhou."

When Mr. Wang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Realizing what Guanshi Wang meant, Mr. Wang's heart trembled.

"In that case, I will ask Manager Wang to be responsible for the trip to Xiaozhangzhuang this time."

The government, people from the Li family and the Wang family all came, and Li Zheng didn't hesitate.

There are many dormitories in the school, so we temporarily let people live in them.

Everyone was quite surprised when they saw the strange bed and cabinet.

Shopkeeper Wang, in particular, sighed secretly.It seems that they came right this time, and now his dream has really come true.

This Xiao Zhangzhuang is really not an ordinary village. Even the dormitories of the school are like this. What about other places?

However, shopkeeper Wang also knew that some things would inevitably arouse suspicion if he raised them hastily.

If that's the case, then take your time and there's no rush now.

Each household selected a place, and everyone asked people to help build houses at home.

Most of the people who went to work at the dock were from Sunjiazhuang. When they learned that their families owed money, they worked even harder.

Zhu Qiuqi also negotiated the price with Master Xu, Li Juntong, and Shopkeeper Wang. The daily price for these workers is [-] yuan, which is twice as much as working in a workshop.

Everyone is also very envious of this, but fortunately everyone is still sensible.

I know that the workmanship of this dock is only temporary and cannot last long.Moreover, most of the people doing these jobs are men, which makes some envious women lose their minds.

When people from other villages heard about such high prices, they also thought about coming to work, but most of the places were taken up by people from Sunjiazhuang. They could only watch as families like Sunjiazhuang and Xiaozhangzhuang planned to rebuild their houses. Good to go to work.

Seeing the river being cleaned up and the gray road gradually covering it, Master Xu couldn't help but marvel.

"If cement is used in all rivers, a lot of floods will be avoided."

Master Xu's words made Li Juntong's heart skip a beat, and he stepped forward to carefully inspect the newly built pier.

According to Zhu Qiuqi's wishes, the river near the dock here must be cleaned up.

Before the water is diverted, we use this cement to cover it. When water comes in the future, we don't have to worry about the dam collapsing.

"What Master Xu said is that if this river channel really uses this cement, it will be a blessing for us Da Zhou."

"It seems I have to ask someone to report this to the county magistrate."

Although shopkeeper Wang wanted to monopolize the cement business for the Wang family, he didn't dare to speak when he heard Master Xu's words.

Other things are easy to say. If the imperial court is involved, who would dare to compete with the imperial court for business?

However, shopkeeper Wang also wrote a letter telling Mr. Wang everything about this place.

Wang's family in the county seat, Mr. Wang couldn't help but sighed.

"It seems that things are going to change in our little Qingshui County."

Although Mrs. Wang didn't know what happened, seeing Mr. Wang's serious expression, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Master, it's getting late, it's time for you to rest."

Mr. Wang nodded, "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Madam about matters in the backyard in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her."

Mr. Wang knew that Qingshui County would undergo major changes in the future. It would not be easy for a pure merchant like the Wang family to gain a foothold.

Moreover, the Zhao family also wants to come here, so they have to make long-term plans.

Mrs. Wang looked at the black and blue under her husband's eyes, and her heart ached.

They have been an old couple for many years. How could she not know that the entire Wang family now falls on Mr. Wang, and the burden on him is not small.

As for Xiao Zhangzhuang, before it gets dark, people are already busy at the pier.

Even so, everyone's faces looked excited.

The village committee involved in this matter, Li Zheng, Sun Hong, Master Xu and others from Xiaozhang Village were also drinking tea and listening to the sound of children reading loudly in the school opposite.

Master Xu couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy this rare peace.

But in just a moment, this tranquility was broken.

The sound of carriages coming from a few yards away became increasingly clear in this quiet morning.

"Who is here this early in the morning?"

Sun Hong tilted his head and looked outside, but he saw that it was an ordinary carriage, and he didn't know the driver.

Li Zheng of Xiao Zhangzhuang also noticed something was wrong and stood up quickly.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the carriage did not stop at the entrance of the village, but went straight to the end of the village.

"This...isn't this going to the Zhang family?"
