Chapter 111 Work Plan
Several young men who looked wealthy joined the road construction team and quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Many idle people around came to the roadside to take a look.
Wow! This noble young man is different, with a fair complexion, he is a handsome young man.
These playboys had never been watched by so many people before, and the key point was that there were quite a few women among the onlookers.
"That storyteller also said that nobles are the ones who oppress the common people. I think that's all a lie."
"That's right. All the officials who came here are good officials who work for the people."
"Although they don't look like they can do the work, they are actually doing it."
......
The young masters from the capital had never heard such praise before.
When they are at home, their family members say they are uneducated and unskillful, and when they are away from home, others say behind their backs that they are playboys.
When they arrived in Shenjia Village, everyone said that they were good officials!
Who can withstand this?
"I'm so tired, I'm going to pass out."
"Me too. It's so hot. Can I have some water?"
"No, they just finished praising us and we want to slack off?"
"If I don't rest, I'll just be wasting some energy. At least I don't have to use my brain, which is much better than studying."
"That's right, it's much better than studying, so I'll just endure it a little longer."
Shen Tang was already accustomed to life in the countryside, so naturally he was much better off than these wealthy young masters.
There was a reason behind letting these playboys build the road.
These people came to Shenjia Village together. If she said there was no one guiding them, she would definitely not believe it. Although they were all uneducated young men, there were still quite a few people here, and some of them even had some real power behind them.
She couldn't afford to offend them, so she thought of sending a few of them to build the road, hoping that they would give up when they saw the difficulty.
But I never thought that although these people had masks of pain on their faces, they still didn't say a word.
This made Shen Tang look sideways.
Several people's faces were covered with dust and their throats were burning with pain.
Shen Tang didn't intend to let them suffer, but after seeing their expressions, he spoke:
"Everyone has worked hard, drink some water and take a break."
When they heard that there was water to drink, several people immediately threw away the tools in their hands and walked aside.
"Tsk, I've never felt this water is so sweet!"
“It really quenches my thirst!”
"My waist has never been so sore. How about we go this afternoon?"
Someone spoke up and was immediately refuted.
"If I leave now, Shen Tang might laugh at me behind my back!"
"Being looked down upon by a woman is a great shame and humiliation!"
"If you want to leave, you can leave. I won't leave."
Wei Ming, the fat son of the Minister of Works, spoke up.
"I won't leave. My dad always says I'm not as good as my older brother. It's just a matter of building a road. I won't go back."
"Besides, who knows, they might even send someone to secretly monitor me."
After hearing the rest, it is hard not to agree with the last sentence.
Whenever they went out and did something wrong, someone would come to their house immediately.
So, under Shen Tang's slightly surprised gaze, the few of them started again.
"Since you gentlemen care about the people, Shen Tang would like to thank you on behalf of the people around us. However, I have something else to do later, so I will not accompany you any longer."
Shen Tang left after saying this.
This was not a lie. She was going to check out the construction progress of those workshops today.
He also sent someone to deliver a message to County Magistrate Lin, informing him that several young men from Beijing had come to Shenjia Village.
County Magistrate Lin has connections in the capital, so he can help find out the purpose of these people's visit.
During the time when Shen Tang went to inspect the construction of the workshop, Shenjia Village was in turmoil because of the arrival of these young men.
Everyone was asking Liu curiously.
After all, they are all handsome young men, and I heard that they are from the capital. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are here for Shen Tang.
They just happen to be of similar age, so it's hard not to think of something wrong.
How could Liu know? She could only make up an excuse and say it was a matter of the court.
Linjia Village had experience in building workshops before, and also had experience in building new workshops. Therefore, when Shen Tang went to inspect the site, he only made a few suggestions and then returned.
After returning home, Shen Tang asked Liu to prepare something and entertain everyone at home in the evening.
Liu originally thought that Shen Tang would take them to a restaurant in town.
"It would be a waste of money to go to the restaurant. I guess their daily expenses must be quite high. Why waste money?"
When Liu heard her daughter's words, she nodded.
After all, no one's money comes from the wind.
Regardless of the purpose of these people coming to Shenjia Village, it seems that they will not have much impact on Shenjia Village and other people.
Just get rid of it quickly.
Liu responded and then went to other people's homes in the village to buy some vegetables. After all, the Shen family had just moved in, and the small vegetable patch in the backyard had just been planted.
The villagers knew that Liu was going to entertain those young masters, so they picked the best vegetables from the vegetable garden.
Shen Fugui even sent a fan of pork ribs.
Although Mrs. Liu knew that her daughter was not very willing to entertain the guests, her simplicity in her bones over the years made her extremely careful.
He also thought that his daughter was now a county marquis, and these people were from the capital after all, so he had to give them enough face.
Therefore, Liu prepared this meal with extra care.
Shen Tang didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he went back to the study and wrote a work plan for the next few months.
This was also a habit formed by Shen Tang in his previous life.
According to the schedule, this batch of late rice will be planted by the end of the month.
The road will be built in September and the workshop will probably be completed by the end of September.
After the workshop is completed, Shen Tang also wants the people of Linjia Village to help build a few wineries.
The wine produced in Da Qi today is far from the high-purity liquor produced in later generations. Shen Tang has tried it and found that the alcohol content is not high.
The color is also yellowish, not as clear as in later generations.
Good wine is expensive. Although she has achieved initial financial freedom now, she still has a lot of things to do, which all require a lot of wealth as a foundation.
No wonder the historical records handed down say that some people drank huge amounts of alcohol, mainly because the alcohol content in ancient times was not very high.
Moreover, one advantage of setting up a winery is that she not only wants to make wine, but also wants to extract some high-purity alcohol.
Alcohol has a wide range of uses, and even if it cannot be applied to many occasions, it can be used on a large scale for disinfection alone. After all, hygiene in ancient times was really too backward.
Any minor cold can kill a person.
After writing down the follow-up work content, Shen Tang went on the road.
It’s getting late, and those young masters must have suffered enough.
