Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Unlike Chen Cun, who was united as one, the two hundred people from Lin Cun who left the village today returned to the village. The villagers were waiting at the end of the village and found that they had nothing in their hands.

"village head?"

Lin Guan glanced at the villagers at the entrance of the village: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Some of the two hundred people suffered minor injuries, while others were severely exposed to the sun and were a little dizzy.

In the hall, after everyone listened to Lin Guan's account of today's encounter, they all clenched their fists: "Go back and fight him! Lin Guan will not be a lackey of the imperial court!"

Lin Guan went up and scalped the young man's head, "Hit him, beat him, beat him?"

"Are you hungry?"

Lin Guan stood up again and looked around at the people in Lincun Village: "Are you hungry?"

Everyone didn't understand why Lin Guan asked this, but they all lowered their heads and thought about something. A Ming raised his hand: "I'm hungry and want to eat the meat dipped in gravy today."

Lin Guan slapped the table: "Go back home. Those who are willing to work tomorrow can come with me to settle down. Those who don't want to... just don't want to."

---------------------------

The people from Lincun arrived at the yamen gate on time the next day. Unlike the people in Chencun who had handicap at home, Lincun pushed all the people with handicap and those who were not suitable for traveling on carts.

Lu Ru'an didn't think there would be so many people coming. Lin Village was much larger than Chen Village. For a while, the entire yamen had to come to help register and settle down as long as they were literate.

Because Li Chengqian did not allow it, these villagers in Lin Village did not have the big gift package from Baoli Trading Company that Chen Village had received after registering.

However, Lu Yuanshan still gave some children White Rabbit milk candies and sent out several boxes of milk powder.

Li Chengqian saw Lu Yuanshan doing this and teased: "Does Manager Lu have the heart of a Bodhisattva?"

Lu Yuanshan sneered: "Is it wrong to like children?"

It was already evening when the registration and settlement of the villagers in Lin Village ended. At noon, some emergency food, such as compressed biscuits and canned meat, were distributed to the villagers who had not completed the registration.

Lin Guan found Li Chengqian: "Boss, hehe. Can I go to work tomorrow?"

Li Chengqian lay down on the bamboo chair and pointed in the direction of Lu Ru'an: "Ask him, I am not responsible for the work."

Lu Ruan was a little angry when she saw Lin Guan, who had injured a worker in Chen Village yesterday: "Yesterday, you chopped and injured seven or eight villagers in Chen Village. Do you know that?"

When Lin Guan heard what Lu Ru'an said, he looked a little unhappy. He just wanted to laugh when he heard Lu Ru'an speak.

"I don't care what my brother says. In the first month of Lin Village as the observation month, your salary will be halved, but the work you do will not be halved. Once I find that you are fighting bravely again, whether you are alone or in a group I won’t want any more workers from Lincun.”

Lin Guan rubbed his hands: "Boss, I am willing to compensate the injured villagers."

Lu Ruan pinched his brows and said: "We will pay for the compensation. They were injured during work, so you don't need to compensate them. Do you understand what I said? Go back and tell your villagers and tribesmen that fighting bravely and cruelly is not allowed. Do your best, do you hear me?"

Lin Guan nodded repeatedly, and Lu Ruan waved to let him go first. Lu Ruan raised his head and looked at the long queue behind: "Continue to register!"

Li Chengqian and Zhang Shiquan walked to Lu Ruan. Lu Ruan continued to write with the pen in his hand and asked the villagers questions.

"All the men in Lin Village are assigned to Shi Quan. He will lead them to clear the land. If the next crop of rice is delayed, there will be no way to get it."

Lu Ruan nodded: "Any other instructions?"

Li Chengqian stretched out: "No, you can continue working on your settlement. I'll go to Lao Zhao's place to have a look."

Zhang Shiquan also said goodbye to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, I am going to work on the rice seedlings first. Judging from the size of Lin Village, there should be at least over 10,000 men. I think it will be quick to open the land."

Li Chengqian nodded and went to find Zhao Zhe. After walking for more than ten minutes, he finally saw Zhao Zhe and Shi Xuan'er talking.

"Where are you going to find water? Isn't it enough to drill so many wells?"

Shi Xuan'er nodded: "Of course it's not enough. The water from these wells is enough to supply daily water for the yamen. If it is used for irrigation and industry, it will be a drop in the bucket."

Zhao Zhe was very embarrassed: "Ayong said that no one is passing here, I'm afraid you will be in danger."

Shi Xuan'er sighed: "There is no way, we can't do without the water source. After we find the water source, it will take time to build a water plant. It's best to find it as soon as possible."

Li Chengqian came over with a tattered fan: "Let Ayong take a few hundred riders to find the water source with you tomorrow."

Shi Xuan'er and Zhao Zhe turned around and saluted: "His Royal Highness."

Li Chengqian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Although today's manpower is not as good as that of Beidi, it is slowly getting on the right track. These things need to be considered. Shi Xuan'er, are you from Qizhou?"

Shi Xuan'er nodded slightly: "Yes, I have handled half of the construction projects in Qizhou, but here... the situation is different."

Li Chengqian thought briefly: "Tell me about it."

Shi Xuan'er organized her words: "At that time, everything was in ruins and there were very few people left in the city. The British government's plan was to recuperate first and then start industrial reforms. Many factories were arranged near Qizhou."

"When it was officially rebuilt later, cement, steel bars, and stones were all produced and sold by factories near Qizhou. For this reason, Qizhou City also borrowed a lot of project loans from Datang Baoli Bank."

"With an almost unlimited supply of building materials, the next step is to build desperately. At that time, based on the experience gained by the Western Region Construction Corps, we worked out a set of construction methods that suited us and introduced a set of our own standards. .”

"Everyone and the construction team work according to the same construction standards, and they can even work in two or three shifts. The only time you need to wait is the time for the concrete to solidify."

Li Chengqian nodded. Seeing that Shi Xuan'er still had something to say, Li Chengqian motioned for him to continue.

"When the construction of Qizhou was halfway through, our Qizhou governor Wei Tongwei said that we can't always import, we need to export and create value."

"Subsequently, Beidi placed a large number of orders for our various factories. We used these orders to repay the previous project loans and even made a small profit."

"Although this place is much larger than Qizhou, in my opinion it is smaller than Qizhou. There are not many areas that have been explored, and most of them are miasma-ridden forests. Only by exploring these areas can we plan and build better."

Li Chengqian sighed: "The journey is long and inconvenient, and the people in Qizhou are more motivated. The people here have to coax with coercion and inducement. There is no way, they are on guard against us."
