Huaguo Village seems to have ushered in the first opportunity since Pangu created the world, and this opportunity was a great thing that only these rural men could believe after Fang Baozheng came to confirm each household. Mr. Lu came to the county town. During this slack season, he hired one person per household and paid 30 yuan a day to go to work.

These 30-month coins are just three Guangxu coins. For rich families, they are not fond of money. However, for farmers who are in the late spring famine and have no grains to keep, this means two kilograms of sorghum rice, or two and a half kilograms of miscellaneous grains, mixed with bran, and two kilograms of sorghum rice are enough for the family of six to eat for two days. Of course, this is sorghum porridge.

What surprised the villagers even more was that after the person in charge of the business the day before, he directly sent a sorghum farm, which made the farmers who worked in the industry excited. The sorghum farm was really good, and they were all solid sorghum noodles. It was not like most households in the village now eat sorghum cores or brans.

Obviously, Mr. Lu brought far more surprises. Later, Fang Baozheng actually came to say that there was no arrangement for work today. Mr. Lu said that taking advantage of this season, it was really bizarre that the laborers working in each household were surprised and dredged waterways for their fields. They also had such things...

In fact, not to mention Fang Baozheng, even Wang Daosheng and others who were carrying these laborers were inexplicably informed. They were also from the village. The work of dredging the water diversion canal was never assigned by the landlords to do for the tenant farmers, but I have never encountered the principle that the official paid for the farmers' homes to repair the farmer's homes... However, Lu Hong's explicit statement, "I have no discussion, do whatever I say" was for them, although it was not long, but it was already unforgettable.

More than 100 laborers had already had a dry breakfast this morning, and they were full of energy. Within a day, the water diversion canal that runs through the sorghum field from the river outside the village was repaired one-third. What made these people even more excited was that on that day, Fang Baozheng respectfully accompanied a young master in a long robe to patrol the water diversion canal from beginning to end.

"Look... look... that's Mr. Lu from the county town..."

"At such a young look, Wenquxing must have come to earth!"

"I heard from the officials in the yamen that Mr. Lu is a big shot who has been to Europe... The county magistrate came politely when he saw him..."

“What is Europa…”

Lu Hong didn't have the heart to pay attention to the evaluation of the laborers. He inspected back and forth, naturally, hoping to use the evaluation system to select some suitable excellent laborers from it. Overall, the laborers in Huaguo Village are obviously very diligent, but he soon discovered some problems. By afternoon, although he had provided enough food at noon, some of the work efficiency had dropped significantly!

This caused the length of the drainage channel that was repaired throughout the afternoon to be significantly lower than expected. After he asked Fang Baozheng quietly, it turned out that the drainage channel for renting fields in this part of the laborers' home had been completed. Therefore, their willingness to continue to maintain high-intensity work was naturally greatly reduced. However, overall, laborers with such ideas accounted for only about half.

After working in the canal construction in Huaguo Village for three consecutive days, according to the list listed by Lu Hong, the labor force currently provided by Huaguo Village is divided into two groups. Among these two groups, those laborers who are considered to have a good working attitude receive a salary of 5 yuan per day, while others are subtracted from a salary of 5 yuan.

This is naturally not harsh. This Huaguo Village is likely to be its first sphere of influence. This village may undertake the important task of sending out the Mengshan Diamond Mine in the future. Although there is only one small village now, its authority must be absolutely strengthened through this recruitment campaign covering the entire village.

Seeing the current situation of Huaguo Village, although Lu Hong cannot be able to change the rural landscape in this era, it is not too difficult to change the current situation where more than a hundred villagers in Huaguo Village cannot survive. A clay mine and a Qilu red granite vein displayed in the super industrial system are located in the southwest and southeast of this small village, while Huaguo Village has favorable conditions that many villages and towns in Mengyin do not exist.

The official road to Fei County happened to pass through more than a mile to the west of Huaguo Village. A dirt road that can open a carriage has been built in the village. A mile to the east, the Wenshui tributary originating from Mengshan flowed through the village. Qi Kaiyuan took his people to survey it. Unless it was a severe drought climate, there was no problem with the small boats passing through this tributary, which could solve the major transportation problems.

Lu Hong's led a large number of men to quickly switch to the two not-so-large clay mines in Huaguo Village, Qilu Hong Granite Mine Area. These two mining areas were easily found by villagers who were familiar with the local terrain. Then, he left two groups of local farmers to temporarily build the mine, mainly clay kilns and warehouses for the other party's processing products. He used the rich local forestry resources and had enough manpower, all he needed was time.

And he climbed into the depths of Mount Meng under the guidance...

Lu Hong entered the mountain on January 25th. At February, there was no news about Lu Hong for a while. Mengyin County Magistrate Wu Daqiu could not sit still and sent a fat man to the inn to ask. It happened that Chen Xiaoyu brought back the news from Huaguo Village and needed to transport a batch of grain, tools and iron parts into the mountain. At the same time, Lu Hong also sent back the news, asking Mengyin Machinery Club to rush to work as soon as possible and had already produced the patterned mining crushers and granite cutting tools.

This news made Wu County Magistrate temporarily relieved. His machine club obviously had a new profit. He immediately asked Changsui to go with Li Tiejiang and Liu Carpenter to take care of the industry. Thinking of the benefits of accepting County Magistrate Pan and Chief Clerk Chen, he also asked someone to inform these two people that they could prepare money!

After another 12 days, Mr. Lu finally appeared in Mengyin County with a tired look on his face. After half a month of tossing, his scholarly uniform almost turned into an old rag, and it was so dark that he didn't know what it was... However, there was real news in the report given to Wu Daqiu.

Along the Wenshui tributary, there were many small veins found in Trianglekou, Xiaodingzi, Xiling and Wangjialing, including a small coal mine, two clay, two limestone, and one Qilu red granite. He had already conducted trial production in several places that were most convenient for mining, and the machines transported from the county town were well operated!

While Wu Daqiu was so happy, he fulfilled his previous promise. The Mengyin Wang family colluded with bandits, fish and meat villagers and other cases. After inspection by the yamen, the evidence was conclusive. Among them, Wang Si was sentenced to death and was sentenced to death by the Hou Qiu. The Wang family's property was confiscated by this case. All the people were fined and confiscated by this case. Yu Zhong went to Gansu 500 miles.

The sentence for this case was indeed beyond Lu Hong's expectations. Unexpectedly, the Mengyin Wang family, which was originally quite powerful, was involved in the case of Wang Si. However, this matter was a good thing for him, at least the hidden danger was completely gone... And the magistrate of Wu even generously stated that after agreeing with County Magistrate Pan and Chief Chen, a property confiscated by the Wang family became Lu Hong's reward.

Lu Hong naturally responded to this fortune, and then flattered the Wu County Magistrate and made a small request. He wanted to operate a clay mine near Huaguo Village. Of course, this was also indispensable for 20% of the benefits of Wu County Magistrate. Since there were many minerals explored this time, Wu Daqiu naturally responded to it.

Now he can figure out the situation. The more industries in Mengyin, the more Wu Daqiu's money came from. Although the coal mine in Wennan was just a trial production in the first month, Qian Yiduo had already sent a dividend of 300 taels of silver. According to this trend, he had a great confidence in making Mengyin's dream of becoming an official and a dream of making wealth. Before sending Lu Hong out, the magistrate of Wu reminded him to prepare the industries of County Magistrate Pan and Chief Chen as soon as possible.

Later, the county magistrate Pan and chief clerk Chen came to visit him almost couldn't wait. They talked with Lu Hong about their intention to operate these industries at Xilai Inn. With the umbrella of Wu as a protective umbrella, Lu Hong was also unceremonious to negotiate the price code. After making some choices, the Pan family and Chen family invested 300 taels and 250 taels to purchase the rock hydraulic cutting, grinding integrated processing machine and damping ore crusher in Lu Hong's hands. In addition, Lu Hong also obtained 10% of the shares in the two industries. He followed the magistrate Wu to put away the benefits.

After this short period of operation, Mengyin's industry has basically been established. As for the future industrial development, Lu Hong was too lazy to worry about this leisure. Huaguo Village invested 100 taels of silver limestone industry and clay factory. He had already negotiated with Qian Yiduo to sell products, and then sold them downstream of Wenshui through the coal yard. In fact, it was just to release smoke from the Mengshan diamond mine. More importantly, it was to include Huaguo Village, an important stronghold, in his own sphere of influence.

The next morning, Lu Hong went to find Fatty Qian, so he naturally wanted to accept the house that Wu County Magistrate agreed to be a reward. Although it was not a big problem to live in the inn, he didn't mind living in the deep mansion of this era. For him, a time traveler, who was used to living in a high-rise pigeon cage in his previous life, this was a wonderful experience.
