046 Prepare Again
After being away for seven days, the yard at home has not changed. It is still the same fenced-in yard.
But through the fence, Liu An saw that the door to his room had been replaced by a brand new wooden door.
Liu An looked at his mother's house, but it still had the same old wooden door as before.
After pushing the door open and entering the courtyard, Liu An tried calling twice, but received no answer.
I checked in my mother's room, but there was no one there, so I thought I'd go to Xuande's house again.
Liu An returned to his room. The old wooden bed and low table had been replaced. The bedding was neatly folded. There was also a set of brand new coarse cloth clothes neatly folded on the bed.
Liu Fu rubbed his clothes and felt a lot in his heart.
In his previous life, his parents had divorced before Liu An became wise. He followed his father and had no contact with his mother after she left.
Liu An has not known what maternal love is for more than 20 years. In this life, she has felt maternal love, but she has no joy, only bitterness.
Liu An knew that the fifteen hundred dollars he left for his mother would definitely not be able to buy so many things.
Just a set of coarse cloth clothes costs a lot of money, and the remaining money is not enough to buy doors, windows and low tables.
So my mother must have bought this set of cloth and sewed it for herself stitch by stitch.
I had a new door, bed, and table on my side, but her side was not touched at all.
Poor parents in the world, this sentence is really true.
"Uncle, grandma is back." Liu Bei walked in and said to Liu An.
Liu An put down his clothes, turned around and walked out of the room. Sure enough, he saw Ms. Cui stepping into the yard in a hurry. After seeing Liu An, she slowed down again, and the eager expression on her face turned into kindness.
"I heard what they said, my son is back, so I came back to see..."
While Mrs. Cui was talking, Liu An strode up to Mrs. Cui, knelt down on his knees and said, "Mother, my son is back, and my mother is worried."
"My son, get up quickly." Mrs. Cui hurriedly helped Liu An up, patted his shoulder and said, "It'll be good when you come back, it'll be good when you come back!"
Liu Bei's mother also followed Cui into the courtyard. Liu Bei saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
However, he did not kneel down like Liu An. This was not the first time he left home, and he did not have as many emotions as Liu An.
After only talking to his mother for a moment, Liu An rushed to the camp.
From a distance, Liu An saw a manor surrounded by earth walls and the victims working outside the manor.
Liu An was very happy when he saw this, and finally had a manor of his own.
In the last half of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu An possessed a thin young man who was about to freeze to death or had already frozen to death. Starting from poverty, he gathered the victims and built a manor. In a short period of time, he had a place of his own.
The sense of accomplishment is still great. Although he wouldn't be able to have everything he has now without relying on the system, but even so, he is still very satisfied.
A young and strong gatekeeper was appointed at the gate of the manor. When he saw five carriages approaching, he immediately became vigilant. He picked up a wooden stick and held it to the copper bell tied next to the door. If something was wrong, he would immediately ring the bell.
A mouth-sized copper bell.
It wasn't until the carriage approached that Qing Zhuang saw that it was Liu An, so he put down his guard, opened the door, and ran excitedly to inform the two people in charge, He Guan and Wang Chi.
Liu An drove the carriage into the manor and looked around.
There are two doors in the manor. In addition to the main door where Liu An came in, there is also a small door on the side.
A total of eight large houses have been built inside, six of which are arranged in two rows on the left side of the manor, and the other two are built on the right side of the manor, next to the livestock farm.
The livestock farm covers an area of about half an acre, and the feeding shed is surrounded by fences.
The piece of land left in the middle was an acre of land that the victims had plowed, fertilized and irrigated according to Liu An's requirements.
After looking at it like this, Liu An discovered that there was no room for him to build a house in the manor.
It seems that the originally planned area of three acres was actually too small.
But the problem is not big. Liu An happens to be rich now, so he can expand the manor and build an independent courtyard for himself and his mother.
Moreover, residential areas and farming areas also need to be carefully re-planned. After all, these two areas cannot be easily changed. Once the use of a certain piece of land is determined, it will continue to be used for that purpose in the future.
While watching, Liu An walked into the manor. After a while, the gatekeeper Qing Zhuang came in with He Guan and Wang Chi.
The two of them saluted Liu An, who also got off the carriage, stepped forward to support them and said:
"Thank you for your hard work. What happened these days?"
He Guandao said: "In reply to my benefactor, the two of us have lived up to our orders and have built the manor. The livestock farm entrusted by the benefactor has also been built. In addition, we purchased another 10,000 tiles and ceramic tiles, and paid ten days in advance to the craftsmen.
With the labor money, I also bought the water tank and food trough for the livestock farm, which cost a total of 4,900 yuan. I left the remaining 100 yuan to return to my benefactor."
With that said, He Guan took out the money and handed it to Liu An, who took it and gave it directly to Liu Bei next to him.
"From now on, Xuande will be in charge of the manor's finances. There is no need to tell me every detail."
"No!" Liu Bei handed over the money.
Liu An asked again: "How many people can live in the village now? How much food is left?"
"There are seven rooms, each room can accommodate thirty-two adults, and more than forty people can be accommodated with children. The last room can only accommodate twenty people because of the potatoes. There are still thirty kilograms of rice left.
about."
"In other words, those eight rooms can barely accommodate everyone?"
"Indeed."
"That being the case, why should you immediately allocate some manpower from the people farming outside the village and prepare to build the house immediately? By the way, are the craftsmen still there?"
"It's still there, the doors and windows of the house haven't been completely installed yet."
Liu An looked intently towards the house, and sure enough he saw a dozen victims installing doors and windows under the guidance of craftsmen.
"Go and ask them to assign a few craftsmen to continue building houses of the same size outside the village. Keep building and don't stop. I will stop when I say stop."
"No!" He Guan handed over his hands and left.
Then Liu An handed Zhen Yi's letter to Liu Bei, gave him twenty gold cakes, and asked him to pick ten young men to go to Linxian Fangcheng to buy five hundred stones of grain, and try his best to buy more old bedding.
Several people had arrived all the way and had not yet had lunch, so Liu An asked Liu Bei to remember to finish lunch before getting busy when they arrived at Fangcheng.
Fangcheng is not far from Zhuoxian County. You can go back and forth two or three times a day by carriage, so your time is not tight.
After Liu Bei left, Wang Chi, as another person in charge, stepped forward and asked: "Benefactor, now that the manor has been built, do you want to give it a name?"
"Well... let's call it Liu's Manor." Liu An was too lazy to waste his brain cells, so he randomly named it, "Wang Chi, arrange for people to cook three big cauldrons of rice. I'll use it later, and I'll give you another one."
For ten thousand yuan, you can find someone to go to the city to buy five hundred bowls, chopsticks and straw sandals, and you can give Xuande the remaining money when he comes back."
Liu An took out a gold cake and handed it to Wang Chi, urging: "Go back quickly!"
"No!" Wang Chi took the money and left in a hurry.
Liu An calculated it, and because he came back faster than when he left, he came back one day earlier, so the expiration date of the novice protection period when he returned to Zhuoxian was actually tomorrow.
That is to say, there is still a two-day novice protection period today and tomorrow.
Liu An wants to take advantage of the protection period to gather another group of disaster victims.
After all, victims are equal to contributions!
According to He Guan's previous report, there was no news that the victims came to the manor to beg for food. Liu An was relieved.
At first, when he saw that the victims were still gathered outside Zhuoxian City and did not go to his place to beg for food, he thought that He Guan and others had led people to drive away the victims. He was originally worried that he would be hindered in gathering the victims again.
However, judging from the situation, it seems that the news of gathering the victims has not spread yet. At least ordinary people and outside victims have not heard that anyone has gathered the victims.
Of course, it is also possible that we do not know who specifically gathered the victims.
After arranging everything, Liu An hurriedly found the blood spirit to check its status.
When Xue Ling saw Liu An, he jumped up and down excitedly and kept lying on Liu An's body.
Liu An felt that the blood spirit seemed to have lost some weight. It may be that He Guan, Wang Chi and the others did not know the appetite of the blood spirit, so they did not dare to give it too much food.
While comforting the blood spirit, Liu An decided to reward him with more food at night.
ps: This is really the first time for the author to write, so he really doesn’t understand many things, and his grasp of the rhythm of plot design is also very poor.
I am not asking for forgiveness or forgiveness from everyone, nor am I using this as an excuse to ask everyone to stay, but I hope you can give me more opinions. The author will definitely work hard to correct and revise, and strive to write a novel that you will like. It is very
grateful!
