After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed

Xiangjia Village worked together to dig out an underground pond in two days.

The entrance is from the side door of the ancestral hall. The steps going down are first dug out with soil and then paved with stones.

After all, it is a place to store water. If there is only mud and water mixed together, it will become a muddy road.

No one wanted to walk up and down this muddy road every day, so they paved it with stones.

Although the steps are a foot wide, they are still the way to go down. If they are not smooth, you will definitely fall.

So we mixed glutinous rice water, lime mortar, straw, and fine sand and gravel together, spread a layer on the soil, and pressed the stones on top.

Walking down the steps, everything here is paved with gravel. Walking on it is a bit painful for your feet, but it is inexplicably comfortable.

The dug pond is about 300 square meters, but it is very shallow, only half a meter deep. This is a preparation to prevent falling down.

The bottom of the pond was first paved with stones, and then mixed with glutinous rice slurry, lime slurry, and fine sand and gravel, and then another layer was spread.

After this layer dries, put water in. The water will not penetrate into the ground, which is the ancient cement.

Xiang Ci was shocked when she saw it. It was like the Northeastern Bathhouse she saw on TV.

After the glutinous rice slurry dried, two days later, the men came here to take a bath with water.

Now that the men are here, the women will not come here.

Of course, there is no need to bring up their bath water.

The men in the village laughed and rejoiced. Everyone understood the meaning, but they would not joke about it.

After the water storage pond was completed, Mr. Xiang talked about building a wall.

The villagers all nodded after hearing this: "We want to build a fence. Didn't you see those people from other villages who came to ask for the spiritual spring water stretched their necks and asked about our village from time to time."

"Yes, it would be annoying to surround the village and see them stretching their necks and asking questions."

"If you want to prevent them from peeking, then the wall must be very high."

"Xiao Liu, you are a scholar, is there anything special about this wall?"

Everyone looked at Xiang Xinjin, and Xiang Ci also stopped to look at Xiaoliu, frowning slightly.

Why is there so much emphasis on even a fence? Isn’t it just a matter of building it?

Xiang Xinjin said calmly: "Yes."

"The wall around Bai Ding's house can only be a fence, no longer than half a meter."

"Stone walls can be built for scholars and above, but they cannot exceed one meter."

"The stone walls surrounding the homes of Juren and gentry cannot exceed two meters."

"If someone has an official position, the stone wall cannot exceed three meters."

"The county wall cannot exceed five meters."

"The city wall of the state capital cannot exceed six meters."

Xiang Xinjin looked at everyone in the small courtyard and said word by word: "We are white people below the town level. We can only use fences for the walls, which cannot exceed half a meter."

Everyone: "..."

The corner of Xiang Ci's mouth twitched, saying it was as if he didn't say it.

At the same time, she was horrified in her heart. She asked why everyone had a yard, but the walls of the yard were fences, and they were no more than half a meter. She jumped over them in one jump.

But the last time she went to town, she saw some houses with stone walls.

It turns out that this country is quite strictly regulated and the classes are very clear.

Of course Mr. Xiang understood this, and he looked a little embarrassed: "But isn't the situation different now? Can we make it five meters tall?"

Xiang Xijin nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Mr. Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Xiang Xinjin say: "It can be ten meters without being discovered by the government."

Everyone stared at him, waiting for the next part of his sentence.

Xiang Ci held his breath, waiting for the second half of Brother Six's words, but he couldn't wait, so he kept holding his breath.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone ask: "What if we find out?"

Xiang Xinjin's indifferent gaze swept over everyone: "Just wait to be imprisoned and fined to do hard labor."

Everyone took a breath, this punishment was too severe, they were just ordinary people, they didn't dare.

Mr. Xiang glared at Xiang Xinjin fiercely, and his whole body was filled with anger.

I know all this, but haven’t we already discussed it, build a wall, build a wall, what do you mean by this now?

Agreed, explain so much, why slap him in the face?

Xiang Ci also looked at his sixth brother in astonishment, so what does this mean? The wall can't be built?

For a moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they all had no idea.

Then, I heard Xiang Xijin say again: "Now is a special period, no one should care about us."

Mr. Xiang raised the cigarette pole in his hand: "Tell me the important point."

Xiang Xinjin seemed not to notice everyone's angry faces and said calmly: "The wall can be built..."

When he said this, he stopped. Xiang Ci felt that he was stuck here in one breath. He felt very uncomfortable and stopped waiting: "What next?"

Xiang Xinjin glanced at her: "Since no one cares about it, let's build it ten meters high."

Xiang Ci rolled his eyes, which meant that if he was caught building a building five meters high, he would be punished, and he would be punished if he was caught ten meters high, so he might as well build a building ten meters high.

But weren’t the extra five meters built by them?

Not tired?

Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai said at the same time: "I agree to build it ten meters high."

If these two people agree, of course the rest of the Xiang family will also agree.

The villagers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they all agreed.

Mr. Xiang glared at Xiang Xinjin secretly, and then went to discuss the next matter with the clan elders.

When the meeting ended and the family sat down to have lunch together, Mr. Xiang, who was holding his breath, couldn't help but said, "Xiang Xiaoliu, what happened to you just now? Tell me."

Everyone moved their hands gently again, and Dabao, who had already climbed up to pick up food, slowly sat back down.

Xiang Xinjin put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at his family: "If I directly agree that the wall can be built, in their eyes, this matter is optional."

"First tell them that building a wall is against the law, and they will think that the wall also has rules for them."

"In this special period, the more organized things are, the more rebellious they are."

"So instead they agreed to build the wall, and they were very careful when building the wall."

"To put it simply, they are depressed now, and they should be allowed to relax, be rebellious, and be happy."

"They don't want to resist grandpa because expulsion from the village can be implemented immediately."

"But if the county magistrate wants to punish them because of the city wall, and he won't execute it immediately, then he might as well carry it on his back. Anyway, it is impossible to punish him alone."

Mr. Xiang's angry expression froze on his face, and he moved the chopsticks in his hand. Finally, he blinked and coughed twice: "Eat, eat."

Xiang Xinjin picked up the bowl, picked up the vegetables, and ate, as if he wasn't the one who just said that long paragraph.

Yan sighed softly and said to Xiang Wan beside her: "Is your brother too smart? I'm so flustered."

Xiang Wan raised her lips and smiled proudly: "Your son is so smart, are you unhappy?"
