Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Just when Lu Yuanshan was about to provide a loan plan, Chen Zhili pointed directly at the house on the drawing: "Is twenty-five taels enough to buy the materials for the foundation?"

Lu Yuanshan did not give an answer immediately. After doing some mental calculation, he said, "There are five taels of silver left."

Chen Zhili's face relaxed: "That's it, Ah Da, you brothers, go pick out some pots and pans, and don't forget to buy toffee for Xilu."

The boy beside Lu Yuanshan had already written the list of materials needed for the foundation and handed it to Lu Yuanshan.

"If you purchase more than 20 taels of goods at a time, our Baoli Trading Company provides door-to-door delivery service. A man will deliver the goods to your village in a short while."

Chen Zhili waved his hand: "No need for today, tomorrow or the day after. Your Baoli Trading Company is too busy today."

Lu Yuanshan nodded: "Then thank you brother for your kindness. Afeng, go pick some gifts for my brother to take away with you."

Chencun was busy shopping here, but the villagers of Lincun were not so comfortable. Zhang Shiquan led the villagers of Lincun to cut down trees and open terraces on the mountain.

"I've never heard of farming in the mountains. Are you crazy about it?"

Officials gathered around Zhang Shiquan, and there were three or five hundred riding on the side to protect safety: "Brother Zhang, this field?"

Zhang Shiquan crossed his arms in front of his chest: "Have you never seen terraced fields? Judging from the progress, the fields that can be cultivated today are about half an acre per person. The main thing is to cut down the forest, which can produce almost 5,000 acres of land. "

"The seedlings have already sprouted here. They can be planted after the irrigation is settled. Let's plant the 5,000 acres of land first and then grab it later."

Zhang Shiquan stood on the terraced mountain and looked into the distance. He suddenly smiled and pointed into the distance: "Look, the second round of supplies is coming, it's a truck."

After hearing this, Bai Qi took out his binoculars and looked in the direction Zhang Shiquan was pointing. A large number of trucks loaded with goods were driving on the cement road, so many that they almost formed a line.

Zhang Shiquan also wanted to know if there were agricultural equipment in this round of supplies, so he simply asked the villagers to stop what they were doing and prepare to eat.

The villagers of Lin Village have been cutting down trees all morning, and the sunny side of this not too big mountain has been basically cleared, but the felled wood is still piled on the side of the mountain.

Zhang Shiquan looked at the timber: "Teams of ten people, each team transports a piece of timber down the mountain, pay attention to safety."

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

The villagers of Lincun, who had been busy and tired all morning, could finally take a break. They sat at the yamen entrance where the rice was placed, fanning the wind with their hands, and waited for the meal to be served.

Baoli Trading Company was busy and the clerks could not come to help. Zhao Nanqing and Su Waner almost called everyone in the yamen who could breathe to help. Buckets of rice and steamed buns were delivered to the yamen gate.

Li Chengqian and Lu Ruan were carrying a bucket of braised beef weighing hundreds of kilograms, while Zhao Zhe was carrying braised pork in one hand and stir-fried wild vegetables in the other.

Li Chengqian gasped: "Lao Lu, can you use more force! It's better for me to move it myself!"

Lu Ruan's face turned pale: "Stop...stop talking...I'm going to die...I'm going to die."

When the villagers of Lincun saw that the meal was about to be served, they were all ready to move. Zhang Shiquan came over with the officials to maintain order: "Queue up and get the food you brought. Those who eat rice, go to the rice side, and those who eat steamed buns, go to the steamed buns side." Line up over there, don’t make a mess.”

As the leader of the village, Lin Guan naturally stood first, but he was very confused whether to eat steamed buns or rice. He had never eaten rice made from refined rice. After eating the steamed buns, A Ming said that they were very delicious. Want to give it a try too.

"Maybe rice and steamed buns?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, as long as it's not wasted."

Lin Guan filled half a bowl of rice, took two steamed buns and walked to the three buckets of vegetables. He pointed at the red stewed beef in front of him: "Can I only choose one of these?"

Zhao Zhe pointed to the buckets in front of him: "You can have beef, pork, and fried wild vegetables, as long as they are not wasted."

Lin Guan handed over the broken pottery basin in his hand. Zhao Zhe took a large spoon and poured two spoonfuls of meat into the rice basin. He also used bamboo tongs to pick up wild vegetables and cover it, and handed it back to Lin Guan.

The villagers in the back all followed suit, and also tried to serve Linguan rice with steamed buns. There were not many steamed buns left today.

Zhang Shiquan and the officials were the last to get food. Zhang Shiquan came from Qizhou. The officials in Qizhou were not as good as dogs, so they were at the end of the queue.

These local officials also developed the habit of eating last because of Li Chengqian's actions. After all, how could they dare to eat if Li Chengqian didn't eat.

Zhang Shiquan wrapped four steamed buns in clean cloth, and used three small basins to prepare three different dishes. They put them together on the tray and found a cool place to sit down and eat.

The officials watched Zhang Shiquan's actions. First, he picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. He nodded with satisfaction, and then dipped it into the beef soup. The bitten part of the steamed bun was filled with the soup and was eaten by Zhang Shiquan. Take one bite.

"Fragrant, this beef is well stewed."

Zhang Shiquan broke another steamed bun in half, used chopsticks to place some beef and wild vegetables on one half, covered it with the other half, picked it up with both hands and took a bite, making the officials swallow their saliva. .

Zhang Shiquan noticed that someone was looking at him: "You guys are eating too. Let's see how hard I am eating. Eat, eat. It would be even better if we could have some drinks."

We are still eating here, and the big truck on the cement highway is about to enter. Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute, wait until the workers finish eating. Have you eaten?"

The driver of the truck was as black as a piece of coal. He grinned and showed his white teeth: "Go back to your highness, and eat. You will have solid food."

Zhang Shiquan saw that the trucks had arrived. He ate all the remaining food in three swipes and trotted over: "Your Highness, do you have any farm tools?"

Li Chengqian was looking at the supplies list, so he simply threw the last two pages to Zhang Shiquan: "I'm still reading, look at the back to see if there are any."

Zhang Shiquan saw it at a glance: "Yes, there is a chain saw, a six-row rice transplanter, a ground tiller... Can His Highness the Prince unload these first?"

Zhang Shiquan regretted asking. He was so excited that he made a fool of himself. He must have been unloading one truck at a time.

Li Chengqian looked at the villagers of Lincun who were preparing to gather after eating, and pointed at them: "How about asking them to help unload the farm tools you want to use, and then you can go about your business after unloading the farm tools you want to use?"

Zhang Shiquan nodded quickly and called to the officials and villagers: "Come here quickly! Help unload the goods!"

On the truck transporting the technicians, these technicians got out of the truck directly and walked up to Li Chengqian: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. We are subordinates of Boss Shi and came from Qizhou to be responsible for the construction."

Li Chengqian was still wondering who Boss Shi was. He thought it was Shi Xuan'er who came from Qizhou: "Shi Xuan'er, right? Zhao Zhe! Take them to find Shi Xuan'er."
