After Lu Fan brought Lu Ling'er out, he let her play alone.
As for Lu Fan, he came to a dozen or so laborers who had fled famine.
Lu Fan asked the laborers to find Wang Dayong.
After a while, the dark-skinned Wang Dayong came running over: "Young Master, are you looking for me?"
"Um!"
"Dayong, I want you to be their foreman from now on and take care of these hard labors for me. Are you willing?"
ah?
"foreman?"
Wang Dayong was stunned when he heard this.
Lu Fan nodded.
When Wang Dayong heard that Lu Fan had inexplicably made him the foreman, he was stunned.
"Young Master... I... I... Can I do it?"
Obviously, Wang Dayong was a little bit unbelievable.
"I believe you!"
"From today on, you will take good care of them for me! And what about that? In addition to providing you with food every day, I will also give you an extra two cents as a reward! How about that, are you willing?"
When Wang Dayong heard that Lu Fan would not only provide him with food but also give him two cents a day, he was so excited that his whole body began to tremble.
Two cents!
Be good!
In those years of famine, one penny could provide food for several days.
But now this young master actually only gives himself two cents a day.
"Yes...I do!"
Wang Dayong trembled as he spoke.
Seeing Wang Dayong agree, Lu Fan smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "That's good!"
After saying that.
Lu Fan said loudly to all the laborers, "Listen up, everyone! From today on, Wang Dayong is your foreman! If I'm not here, you can go to him if you have any problems."
After Lu Fan made this announcement, the dozen or so laborers present all looked at Wang Dayong.
At the same time, envy and many complicated expressions appeared in his eyes.
Wang Dayong fell to his knees at Lu Fan's feet with a plop, and with tears in his eyes he said gratefully, "Thank you, young master, for the promotion! Thank you!"
Lu Fan helped him up and said, "This is what you deserve! Remember, work hard!"
"Yes! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
"must!"
that's all.
Lu Fan appointed Wang Dayong as the foreman of this group of laborers.
Lu Fan has already decided that once his mansion is completed, he will recruit a group of loyal guards like Wang Dayong. This way, they can not only guard his house but also help him with the chores. He only needs to grow vegetables and take care of the family every day, and enjoy the life with his sister.
Isn't this life comparable to that of the landlords in town?
As he thought about it, Lu Fan smiled.
The next few days.
Because Lu Fan appointed Wang Dayong as the foreman, Lu Fan could finally grow crops and practice in the cave with peace of mind.
....
Half a month passed.
In the past half month, Wang Dayong has led a dozen laborers to build the outer wall of the courtyard!
These desolate mountains and wilderness lack everything except stones.
So the construction speed is very fast.
The courtyard wall, which is more than ten feet high, is made entirely of granite from the surrounding mountains. It surrounds the entire City God Temple and looks like a large manor.
"Young Master, what do you think of our construction?"
Wang Dayong, along with a dozen laborers, pointed at the over ten-foot-high wall surrounding the mountain and reported to Lu Fan.
Looking at the outer wall surrounding the entire City God Temple, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction.
With this courtyard wall, Lu Fan felt much more at ease.
From now on, I can finally plant things directly inside the courtyard wall, and no longer have to hide in a hole in the ground all day to plant!
"Not bad, not bad. I'm very satisfied with your progress!"
"To reward you, I will reward you with white steamed buns tonight!" Lu Fan said.
ah?
White steamed buns?
When these laborers heard that Lu Fan was going to reward them with white steamed buns, they all jumped up excitedly.
In this era of famine, not to mention steamed buns, even the bran for pigs and dogs to eat is almost gone.
But now they have white steamed buns to eat, how can these hard laborers not be happy?
"Why don't you all thank the young master quickly?"
Following Wang Dayong's shout, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Fan.
"Thank you, young master!"
"The young master is our adopted parent!"
Next.
Lu Fan steamed a large pot of steamed buns and shared them with the laborers.
Outside.
The laborers held the white steamed buns, their eyes red with excitement, and ate them happily!
Inside the cave.
Lu Fan and his sister continued to eat ginseng chicken soup and pork rice, which was so boring.
With the outer courtyard wall completed, Lu Fan will start building the mansion.
only.
Building a large house requires more manpower, as well as professional carpenters, bricklayers, and so on...
so.
Lu Fan called Wang Dayong over the next day.
"Dayong, go to Qingyang Town these few days and recruit some hard laborers for me! Remember, they must be honest people who are willing to endure hardships."
Lu Fan ordered.
"Yes, young master, I understand. I will go recruit people this afternoon."
After giving instructions to Wang Dayong, Lu Fan looked at the hilltop of the City God Temple, and a prosperous manor appeared in his eyes!
This manor not only has food and drink, but also flocks of chickens and ducks.
As he thought about it, Lu Fan smiled.
