……

A few days later.

There are already hundreds of boats working on Zhuwei Lake, which covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres.

Those ships, including transport ships, dredging ships, etc., are all suitable for use on calm inland rivers. In order to collect these ships, Wang Shouzhe also used a lot of contacts.

Especially on the Chen's side of Donggang, there are waterways crisscrossing the inland area, and there are many small boats of all kinds, as well as a large number of shipbuilding workshops.

Chen Fangjie is a good future brother-in-law. With his help, he spared no effort to help, from purchasing a small old boat to customizing a dredging boat, and he was also responsible for the transportation.

The future brother-in-law is very wise, so naturally Wang Shouzhe will not be stingy. On the pretext of the other party's previous help, Wang Shouzhe directly offered 5,000 tons of newly produced wheat grain. As long as it was processed in the mill, it would be high-quality flour.

The bran sifted out was used to feed meat livestock in previous years, but it is also a hot commodity this year.

In previous years, these five thousand tons of new wheat would have been quite valuable, but this season is particularly different. Because the output of new wheat is very small, the value is far from what it was in previous years.

In this round of cooperation with Wang Shouzhe, Donggang Chen also secretly gained a huge benefit.

You know, many children from aristocratic families are used to eating refined rice and noodles, and their demands are very high, making them much more difficult to serve than ordinary people.

In short, both parties are happy.

With the rapid assembly of inland river ships, Wang Shouzhe's "Century Project" was also quickly launched.

Before this, the family also dredged parts of the river every winter, and the silt was used to fill fields. But at that time, the working mode was based on five people per boat.

One person drives the boat and four people use rakes to clear the mud. Then drive to the destination, unload the silt, and then sail back to clear the silt...

It sounds like there is no problem, but in fact this working mode is very inefficient. Small-scale dredging in winter mainly takes advantage of the slack farming time, so the efficiency is just a little lower.

But in a huge project, every little manpower saved will be a huge savings in the long run.

Under Wang Shouzhe's instruction, the dredgers were all strong laborers. They were divided into groups of five. After a group of people boarded an empty ship, they quickly loaded the ship with a dredging rake, and then changed to an empty ship to continue. Dredging.

The boat drivers are all slightly older. They do not need to participate in dredging, they only need to drive the boat back and forth. After arriving at the destination, there was a group of people dedicated to unloading the ship, and a group of people dedicated to filling the soil.

After emptying, the unloader will replenish the empty rattan and bamboo baskets inside the ship. The boat driver immediately sailed the boat back and entered the next round of operations.

After some trials and adjustments, a set of assembly-line operations was gradually formed.

The rake used by the dredging workers is very heavy, surrounded by iron bars, especially the sharpened iron bars at the rake, and in the middle is a dense rattan space. This work requires a lot of strength.

But when this rake comes up, it can hold fifty or sixty kilograms of silt, which can fill a large rattan and bamboo basket in three or two strokes. Smaller boats can hold more than ten or twenty rattan and bamboo baskets.

The larger boats, the kind specially used for dredging and inland river transportation, can hold more than a hundred rattan and bamboo baskets at once. The largest ship can carry more than 300 rattan and bamboo baskets.

A group of five desilting workers, plus the rest time, can dig and load about 80 baskets in an hour on average. Therefore, on slightly larger boats, several groups of people will board together, and a group of dredgers will be left to finish the work.

In addition, there are also some women, children, and the elderly with weak constitutions who are responsible for weaving rattan and bamboo baskets, cooking, cleaning, or leveling the ground in the mud and other auxiliary tasks.

Overall, the dredging and filling work went very smoothly.

At present, there are eighty groups of dredging workers, with a total of 400 people, 150 boatmen, 50 mud unloaders, 80 mud fillers, and less than 100 other auxiliary workers. .

The total number of people working on the project reached nearly 800.

But even so, the amount of dredging and filling in one day is about three to four thousand cubic meters, which is about one-thousandth of the amount of the first phase of the project.

According to today's manpower and material resources, even if we do this every day, it will take about six years to complete the first phase of the project. And this does not include the rainy season, cold winter and other bad weather conditions that prohibit construction.

However, it is not easy to open up new territories and develop clan property.

The ancestors of the Wang family did not know how much effort and time it took to bring Ping'an Town to its current situation. It is not an easy task for humans to conquer nature.

Wang Shouzhe's awning boat rowed quietly in Zhuwei Lake, watching the construction work in progress not far away.

"Brother Shouzhe." Liu Yuanrui also said with emotion, "At this time, I realized how difficult it was for our ancestors to develop the family business. Every family business has the ancestors' lifelong efforts in it. ”

"Yes, I think back when ancestor Zhou Xuan went south, the entire Ping'an Town area was a barbaric land where ferocious beasts were rampant." Wang Shouzhe was also filled with emotion, "At that time, the ancestors were much more difficult than us. ”

Wang Shouzhe stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the vast Zhuwei Lake. It looks like such a huge project, but in fact the construction area only occupies a small part: "We have to continue to increase the scale of construction. Now there are still many people in Ping'an Town who don't have enough to eat."

Many of the current 800 people are tenant farmers of the Wang family, and even some descendants of the Wang family who came to participate in the construction and management. The number of people recruited from outside was only four to five hundred.

To truly quell the disaster, it is not enough to recruit so many workers. The team must be expanded, and the dredging boats must be expanded. At least, the entire construction team must reach two to three thousand people.

It is not easy to carry out large-scale projects under such low productivity conditions, and the progress is slow even if a large amount of manpower and material resources are used.

But for basic projects such as dredging and filling, there is no good way other than assembly line construction. He does not have the ability to build large excavators.

After satisfying Liu Yuanrui's interest in visiting the lake, the awning boat returned to the main house.

At this time, Wang Zhong sent someone to report that the hiding place of the casual cultivator who had previously killed a rich peasant family had been found out. Not far from Dingpu Ferry, there is a remote warehouse.

Wang Shouzhe's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He does not discriminate against casual cultivators, and many casual cultivators also have a hard time. However, what he hates most are those casual cultivators who commit crimes unscrupulously and then have a mentality of just patting their butts and leaving.

……

Time passes.

A remote warehouse was used by a certain family to store salted fish and smoked fish.

Sales of smoked fish and the like have been extremely good recently, and the inventory has been cleared out, but the smell is still full of fish.

A few casual cultivators with fierce faces were sitting around powerlessly, their morale was quite low.

"Boss, is there no news from the Liu family?" A man in his thirties said anxiously, "Isn't it that difficult to just arrange a boat to cross the river?"

"The Wang family doesn't know what happened. They actually asked the deputy governor Wang Ding to block the Dingpu ferry. They even sent officers and soldiers to guard some wild crossings. It was clear that they were targeting us." A four A middle-aged casual cultivator who was in his teens and had scars on his face said with a cold face, "Everyone just needs to endure it a little longer and survive this wave of limelight."

"Boss, I heard that the Wang family and the Liu family are at odds." Another casual cultivator said worriedly, "Do you think the Liu family will kill us to silence us?"

"How dare they!" said the Scarless cultivator with a sneer. "This is not the first time that we have done some shady things for the Liu family. I have already kept all kinds of evidence in my hands. Once something happens to us, Someone sent the evidence to the deputy governor Wang Dingzu. With the relationship between the Wang family and the Liu family, they will definitely not let it go."

Rogue cultivators hang out all over the world and go wherever there is profit. Naturally, some of them are used as spearmen by some aristocratic families. We have heard and seen many times about crossing rivers, tearing down bridges and killing people.

Therefore, casual cultivators are not fools. It is okay to pay them to do things for you, but it is almost impossible to make a clean slate afterwards. The casual cultivators who have been together for decades and are still alive are all human beings. How can the dangers they have experienced in their lives be compared to those of children from aristocratic families?

"The boss is wise, the boss is wise. Look back and take a breath, you must cut a piece of flesh from Mrs. Liu's body."

The other casual cultivators also breathed a sigh of relief, praising the boss and criticizing Liu.

It doesn't matter if you get through it, just get through the limelight. The Wang family were just pretending to gain a reputation, and those who died were not the rich farmers in your family's territory.

At this time.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Applause rang out, and at the same time, a young man's voice came from outside: "Listen, how do these casual cultivators do things? Learn a little, and you have to leave a path for yourself in everything. This is a good survival philosophy."

"Yes, fourth brother." The two boys answered honestly.

"Don't be nagging, just do it and it's done."

"Luo Qiu, what the fourth brother said makes sense. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be someone more powerful than you in this world."

The faces of the group of casual cultivators became very ugly.

The leader of the casual cultivator, Dao Scar, had a somewhat calm demeanor: "Since you have already come to the door, you must be prepared. Why don't we talk about it."

While talking.

Wang Shouzhe led his two younger brothers and two younger sisters into the warehouse.

He did not directly answer the casual cultivator's words, but continued to talk to his younger brothers and sisters: "You must remember, if you want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Our ancestor Zhou Xuan of the Wang family went south to open up Ping'an Town and kill The monsters opened up their territory, allowing me, the descendants of the Wang family, and thousands of civilians to have a place to live. We, the descendants, dare not say that we want to be comparable to the achievements of our ancestors, but we must protect our home and keep our bottom line. , don’t let our ancestors be shamed.”

"You must remember that families like the Liu family and the Zhao family do things regardless of the law and have no bottom line." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "They can be arrogant for a while, but they cannot be arrogant forever. Those clan members will sooner or later bring trouble to the entire family. Come the catastrophe."

"Yes, fourth brother." Wang Luojing nodded heavily.

Wang Shouyong and Wang Shoulian were also a little excited, their faces flushed with excitement. Our Wang family is an orthodox family inherited from ancestor Zhou Xuan, which is completely different from the jackal family like Liu family and Zhao family.

"I, Wang Luoqiu, you don't need to remember my name." Wang Luoqiu's eyes burst out with a fierce and fierce aura, "I shoulder the expectations of my ancestors in the sky, and I will shoulder the rise of the Wang family. The important task. You villains are all stepping stones on my journey to becoming an emperor. You have a lot of experience!"

"Boom!"

Wang Luoqiu rushed into the group of casual cultivators like a cannonball.

Wang Shouzhe's mouth twitched.

Can this little aunt please not be impatient? My family's sense of honor and correct outlook on education are not over yet?

This girl has a bad temper!
