Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 72!

I don't know who came up with the name, but such a small mountain village with beautiful scenery is actually called Shazigou. It seems that Song Qingshu is really destined to be a fool in this life.

But even so, Song Qingshu still had to struggle feebly to cover the edge of the forest known as the silly hat above the valley. Sixteen large lumps of soil like termite nests emitted thick black smoke into the air. In the yard, as many as 200 villagers from the two production teams were sweating profusely with axes, hammers, even stones, and hands, desperately tearing down the trunks and branches.

This silly hat was unlucky, it was made to look like an old man with hair loss, with a Mediterranean hair style bald towards the back, and a large area of ​​hair was gone, which scared the mice and rabbits inside to run around.

The large pieces of wood that were removed were continuously sent to the big soil bags by the two production teams. Under the raging fire, all the emerald green leaves were burned away and turned into black charcoal.

The eight stoves are charcoal-burning stoves, and the eight stoves are the typical soil blast furnaces of the **** period. Under Liu Zongmin's disgusting command, more than a dozen young people in the village who are still flexible It was stuffed under the earthen furnace again, and under the scorching heat of hundreds of thousands of degrees, the decarburized molten iron was brought out with shouts and poured into the prepared earthen mold.

Typical heavily polluting steelmaking. Seeing the silly hat being chopped off bit by bit and retreating, Song Qingshu folded his hands into his sleeves and kept muttering: "Oh, the water and soil are going to be lost now, what's the matter?" Is it? When the heavy rain hits my house, won’t it be washed like a big sauce jar?”

"I said, now is not the time to worry about the future!" Beside him, Scarface looked down worriedly with a weak look.Outside the village, less than one-fifth of the earth wall has been repaired, and now it is left there bare, just like the unfinished buildings of later generations.

"Don't forget that there are still eight days, and those bandits from Funiuzhai are about to come and rob! There are more than 100 people on the other side, and there may be mountain people to help out. We only have about twenty people here, and you are so naked here. It’s really like being put in a pot! If you don’t hurry up and repair the wall, what kind of wood will you chop?”

For two days in a row, Song Qingshu left the matter of repairing the wall behind and somehow took someone to the back mountain to chop wood and burn charcoal. From Scarface's point of view, it was no different from committing suicide by burning charcoal!After all, he built this village with his own hands, and he has a sense of accomplishment that he can't let go of. After enduring Song Qingshu for two days, Scarface couldn't help reminding him.

Who knew that he had good intentions, but Song Qingshu shrugged plausibly and asked, "Can you finish repairing the wall in ten days?"

Scarface shook his head in embarrassment. He supervised the project of repairing the Shenyang Weicheng Wall in Liaodong, and the progress could not be completed in less than 30 days.

Embarrassed by the scarred face, Song Qingshu immediately shook his head triumphantly and taught him a lesson: "The ancient sages said that the wall of people's hearts is not a wall! Anyway, the wall can't be finished. Now it's better to fully mobilize the masses and use two more weapons. Bandits come Now, it can also make the broad masses of the working people fight with the bandits!"

What Song Qingshu said seemed to make sense, but seeing what Liu Zongmin knocked on the poured mud, it was either a saw blade like a wolf's teeth, or a heavy hammer weighing more than ten kilograms. Is this a weapon?And watching a fox emerge from the cold woods, the three elders were so frightened that they threw down the charcoal and ran away screaming, expecting these things to fight the bandits?Two greetings popped up, and Scarface twitched again.

Seemingly feeling a little unconvincing, Song Qingshu patted him on the shoulder again with a sneer: "Okay, isn't Mr. Li from Longhu Village going to Funiu Mountain to talk about the matter? Mr. Li's eldest nephew is Shang Nan The county magistrate also has dozens of Zhuang Ding in his hands, with their help, we can deal with it, don't worry!"

Putting hope on others is never a scar-faced character. Besides, Scarface gets angry when he thinks about the fat man from Longhu Village who came to cheat that day. Surrender to them, and half of the harvest will be handed over to them every year!With that arrogance, it seemed that even the Tartars outside the pass were not as powerful as them, just thinking about it made Scarian angry.

Besides, as soon as I arrived in Shangnan, Scarface heard that Mr. Li was not a good lord. He was behind several cases in the county. He was a bandit himself, with at least a few lives in his hands. protect yourself?Xuan!
But after all, Song Qingshu is the village head, and Scarface couldn't carry through his decision. Seeing Song Qingshu yelling at Liu Zongmin to save the iron ore he had bought so hard, Scarface couldn't bear it to the end. Mo Zhe shook his head, and made up his mind that if the bandits really came to the door, he would take Song Qingshu and run away, at worst, buy him a lesson for 500 taels of silver.

Sulking, Scarface hugged his shoulders and looked at it. The afternoon passed. Although Song Qingshu looked like a headless chicken in preparing for the battle, the tools he made were quite powerful. The hacksaw brought two ends to the two Sawtooth staggered in one direction, carried by two people, in less than two or three minutes, a tree as thick as a thigh can fall down in response, and the thicker branches are cut off for burning charcoal, leaving trunks of different lengths piled up. It's a big pile, if it is in later generations, it will definitely sell for a lot of money.

The sun was sinking, and finally, Song Qingshu yelled in a long voice: "Call work!" Immediately, the two production teams that took turns cutting trees and burning charcoal, more than [-] men, women, old and young, were all lying on the ground gasping for breath. The tool was thrown all over the ground with a clanging sound.

But after taking a few breaths, these villagers did not rush home to eat in a swarm, but surrounded the two old men in the middle, yelling endlessly, the noise was as loud as stabbing a hornet's nest.

The two old men were the captains of the production team chosen by Song Qingshu from the tenants. Fortunately, they were old and could lose their ears, otherwise they would have been quarreled to death.The two of them can be regarded as "middle-level cadres" in the village, and they eat the salary and food provided by Song Qingshu. When the villagers surrounded them, the two old men took out two blackboards and wrote them under the names of the surrounding villagers with chalk. When drawing orthographic characters, some people have not finished writing a single orthographic character, while others have already written two or three orthographic characters.

These are work points.

It has to be said that in line with the current era of poor materials, this production team system is quite easy to use. It has made the original labor system of a family of old and young into a clear and organized labor system, responsible for weeding and weeding, and responsible for cutting trees. Trees, more work points for beautiful work, which also aroused the enthusiasm of these tenants.

You must know that work points are not just for show. One more work point will be exchanged for an extra grain. In this famine year, the wife and children can have enough to eat. The work points can also be used to find Song Qingshu for some rice, meat, and salt. Ah, the necessities of life, who doesn't want to eat something more delicious?Even those children are extremely active.

Looking at the villagers who dispersed in a rush, and Song Qingshu who was yelling and exhausted without doing anything, Scarface couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Unknowingly, the chaotic villagers were organized into an organization, and he was like a soldier, and the rewards and punishments were decent. He was able to coax these big bosses into working so hard. wind!Where did this kid come from?

Could it be that he is an illegitimate son of Marshal Qi Jiguang?Unknowingly, such a weird idea popped up in Scarface's mind.

Now Song Qingshu’s small village really looks like it did during the Communist Party. The four production teams go to the cafeteria to eat, and during the meal, the captains of each production team are still mobilizing production. How many trees will be cut and burned tomorrow? Carbon, under the gun, tossed and tossed for more than half an hour before it dissipated.

But when everyone was eating, Song Qingshu didn't follow, but stayed alone on the back mountain, facing a large pile of wood, writing and drawing with chalk.

After calculating for a long time, Song Qingshu suddenly wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned silly.

"That's fucking enough!"

Early the next morning.

"What's the fuss about?"

The one who was tormented by Song Qingshu got up early, and saw that a large pile of wood cut from the mountain was actually piled up next to the half-built village wall, Scarface yelled angrily.

"Just wait and see!" This time, Song Qingshu didn't say anything about the truth, Song Qingshu smiled mysteriously, and then pretended to wave the little red flag that was changed with his trousers last night, and yelled , Several strong men from the second production team in the village immediately rushed forward with ropes.

The wooden rafts that were nearly three meters long were tied together in a row. At this time, another group of people dug two rows of deep pits on the ground that were more than half a meter long. After the wooden rafts that were nearly ten meters long were tied up, they were immediately inserted into the pits In the center, with an interval of half a meter in the middle, the strong man who climbed the ladder used the hammer he had hammered two days ago to smash the wooden piles into firmness one by one. They were all filled between the two rows of wooden stakes, and under Scarface's astonished gaze, the ten-meter-long wall was repaired in less than half an hour, and it was half a meter higher than what he built!
Seeing that Scarface was stupefied, Song Qingshu couldn't help poking his arm triumphantly, and asked braggingly, "How is it?"

Who knew that Scarface, who was stunned, suddenly beat his chest and stamped his feet, and wailed loudly, crying out loudly.

"It's so simple? If I knew this trick earlier! Building such a wooden wall to block the Tartar cavalry, how could there be a defeat in Guangning!"

A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, but he doesn't reach the sad point!That battle not only turned Scarface's fate, but also ruined countless siblings. Looking at the wooden wall, Scarface couldn't help but burst into tears.It was the first time that Song Qingshu was stunned to see the scarred face that had always been strong and straight, crying like a child. After a while, Song Qingshu patted him on the shoulder helplessly.

"Okay, it's all over!"

As expected of a tough man, he wiped away the tears on his face suddenly, jumped up again with a scarred face, and yelled at Sun Tiezhu and others.

"Fix the wall!"
