Chapter 158 It would be nice if the days could continue like this

There are also many people eating on the construction site.

For those who eat a lot and work a lot, there will be someone to keep records.

Their bowls are different from Heng Niang's. They are like small basins with half more rice in them. The dishes are the same for everyone, but the cook will give them a little more soup. The soup here is particularly fragrant and is perfect when mixed with rice.

Heng Niang glanced at the people nearby and discovered that Er Gouzi was also eating from a small bowl, which was much larger than her husband Chen Fa's bowl and was also full of meat.

Ergouzi is from Heng Niang’s maternal family, and Heng Niang has known Ergouzi since childhood.

Ergouzi has a little problem with his brain and is not very smart, but he is strong, stubborn and responsible. Therefore, when it was time for him to serve in the military, his family let him go to replace a place in the family.

Er Gouzi has been on guard at the construction site for two days. At the beginning, the braised pork was so delicious that some people couldn't help but want to grab it.

If it weren't for these officers and soldiers standing guard.

They really can't eat properly.

Ergouzi would give each of his family members a piece of meat, just one piece, and any more would be gone.

There was a little more meat in Ergouzi's bowl than in Chenfa's.

Heng Niang instantly understood that Chen Fa was not special and felt relieved.

A little more, this is because Chen Fa is the county magistrate's man, which Heng Niang can accept.

Chen Fa shared the meat in his bowl with Heng Niang and Ran Ran.

"Heng Niang, Ran Ran, you should eat more. Eating meat can help you grow taller. Ran Ran will also learn martial arts from Daddy in the future. No one will dare to bully you in the future."

"Ran Ran is a girl, why should she learn martial arts? It's too rude and it will be hard for her to get married in the future. Brother Chen, we have meat in our bowls, enough to eat."

When Heng Niang spoke, she saw her daughter's bright eyes and the greasy look on the corners of her mouth.

She paused, she knew that Ranran had never eaten anything delicious when she was a child.

She said to Chen Fa: "Just let Ranran eat a little, I don't need to eat so much."

"Let's eat together. If you don't eat, I won't eat either."

When Heng Niang heard this, she had no choice but to start eating together.

Chen Fa felt that this braised pork was even more delicious than what he had eaten yesterday.

He looked at everyone around him, and almost everyone had a happy smile on their face.

He thought it would be nice if he could live like this forever.

I heard that the county magistrate is very rich and has a strong background. Even if the house is built, the official roads in the north city will also have to be repaired by then, and those roads can be built for a long time.

This was the first time that Chen Fa felt that it was actually a good thing for these officials to live in big houses.

After Chen Fa finished his meal, he went to the pond. Now that he had rested enough, he was going to replace Xu Qiuyue. After all, it was not a good idea to leave a few weak women at the pond all the time.

As for street patrols, there are not many people on the streets now. Basically, everyone has gone to work. They only come out in the evening when everyone has rested.

After Xu Qiuyue left the pond, she did not rest.

She had all the extra vegetables made into pickles.

When the people are on vacation, each of them can be given a packet to take home and eat.

In fact, there haven't been many changes in the North City. Rich people look down on the food on the construction site, and without wages, no one is willing to work.

Those who should go out for a walk will still go out for a walk.

But no one buys Wang’s water anymore.

The rice bran sold in the grain store is basically out of stock.

Few people are willing to buy white rice because it is too expensive.

The most panicked were the Wang family.

Wang Shuhe never imagined that Lu Yuan would focus on one place and keep digging.

The water-locking array cannot lock such deep water.

As long as Lu Yuan keeps digging, there will definitely be water.

It wasn't that they didn't want to spread the folk song or anything, but they wanted to stop Lu Yuan from digging.

But Lu Yuan basically mobilized all the people to work.

I'm too tired all day long to listen to gossip and rumors.

Even those opera singers and jugglers were pulled over by Lu Yuan to perform.

There is basically no time to rest all day long.

Lu Yuan did not invite guests to those expensive theaters.

But ordinary people can't afford to go to such expensive places.

As for those landlords and gentry, Lu Yuan ignored them at all.

Even Liu Qun's men were divided into half by Lu Yuan. The remaining half did not want to follow Liu Qun anymore and also wanted to do something for the villagers.

The people in these barracks are all from the North City.

When Lu Yuan arrived, he took big steps.

He also has a very bad tone.

He always says that he wants to change the structure of North City and restore it to its previous appearance.

They were just short of shouting slogans saying that they wanted to overthrow the Wang family.

Moreover, Lu Yuan was very wicked. Since he couldn't dig out water, he stole water from the Wang family.

As soon as you say him.

He said it was a false accusation, and no matter whether there was evidence or not, he would first give him twenty lashes of the cane.

Civilians dare to accuse officials.

You must first be beaten with twenty boards.

But Lu Yuan has a black heart.

The people who beat him with a stick were his personal guards, all of whom were skilled in martial arts and had extraordinary skills.

After twenty blows, even an iron man would be beaten into a pulp.

What’s more, it’s a human being!

A living person can't resist it at all.

He was beaten to death.

This scene alone was enough to scare everyone.

People are always afraid of ruthless people.

No one dared to report Lu Yuan to his face.

As for the evidence.

The Wang family has already understood Lu Yuan’s methods.

He knew that there was no way to defeat Lu Yuan by fair means.

Lu Yuan also experienced an assassination attempt.

But Lu Yuan is very powerful.

This incident also allowed Lu Yuan to catch the Wang family's weakness.

The Wang family stopped making noise.

It seemed like that was the end of it.

At present, Lu Yuan’s family is the only one in power in the entire North City.

The Wang family, and Liu Qun.

It seemed that they all took a break in just a few days, and it seemed that they were all conquered by Lu Yuan.

You have to know that Lu Yuan is rich and he spends money at all costs.

Residents living near North City all want to return to live in North City.

Because the environment in North City has improved a lot.

Lu Yuan also bought a lot of land.

The land in the north city is barren, and the people are unwilling to farm. However, if they can receive a fixed salary every month, they are naturally willing to farm.

And if you grow good crops, the reward will be doubled.

Everyone in North City wants to get a job under Lu Yuan.

Although the salary Lu Yuan paid was not high, the monthly salary was very little.

But Lu Yuan’s food is really good.

And if you do a good job, you will get rewards.

Especially in some nearby villages, no one knows how many people starved to death.

These people are willing to do anything as long as they have something to eat.

And after working for ten days, you can work for five days and rest for one day.

And the person in charge said that after working for a full month, you will be paid on a monthly basis.

But the monthly salary was only five hundred copper coins.

It’s more than what I mentioned before, and the food remains the same.
