Chapter 144

Others don't know what Iron Fist understood, but Iron Fist excitedly pulled Xue Yi aside to discuss smelting and forging with great interest.

Naturally, Lu Anran retired after finishing his work, and was going to the crop fields outside the city to see how the team led by his uncle was doing.

Today she is not wearing an official uniform, but even if she is not, 90.00% of the people in Licheng can still recognize her.

So she simply changed into a simple commoner clothes, vest and trousers, wore a bamboo hat, wiped her face dirty, and walked slowly on the road with a basket of stones on her back. When she saw no one, she came quickly To the farmer's land outside the city.

"Hey, whose family's youngest is this, isn't it tiring to carry so many stones?" The people walking towards her looked at her in surprise, and some even came forward to help.

Lu Anran smiled and shook her head: "Thank you uncles, no need, I can recite it."

"Do you work here?" A man patted her on the shoulder, and he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you so thin? You don't eat well? No, the food in Licheng is so fast." If you have meat, you shouldn’t be hungry.”

As he spoke, he took out a meat bun and handed it to her: "I'll eat it for you. Look at you, the child is so hungry, he's skinny. Take it, and give me the basket."

Lu Anran looked at the steamed stuffed bun in his hand, dumbfounded, the basket was snatched away by the other party, and he seemed to be fine for a moment.

But in order not to be suspicious, she took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and chewed, and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you something." She pointed to the ditch not far away:
"You have dug so long in just a few days, and you have filled in the stones. Is the foreman oppressing you?"

"Oppression? How can it be?" The man smiled, showing his big white teeth, very simple and honest: "It's all voluntary, and he told us not to rush.

But you said, Licheng is so big, and people need to build it everywhere. We don’t have to work hard, but hurry up. When will this Licheng be built.

Hello, Master Lucheng, the salary we pay is three times higher than other places, and a meal is included. Where can we find such a good thing, even in the capital city.

So, we can't be ungrateful either, we have to work harder and work hard.This city is beautifully built, and City Lord Lu is also happy, right? We are also worthy of the wages we get, and we have no conscience. "

Hearing the other party praise him so much, Lu Anran couldn't help but blushed, laughed dryly, and said, "Uncle, can you have enough food and clothing for fifty cents?"

"Yes, why not." The man smiled honestly: "I carry big stones to build the city wall, and I can earn a few dollars a day. My daughter-in-law does laundry and other light work, and I can earn dozens of coins a day.

The daughter and son are studying in that school, which is called three-year compulsory education.Hey, I haven't studied, and I don't know what it means. I want to come to Lu City Lord for our own good.

I have been muddy for a few lifetimes, and it is always good to be able to study.No matter whether you can be an official or not, at least you will no longer eat as much as we have in this life. "

"But don't you really feel tired after doing so much work? City Lord Lu is clearly squeezing your labor."

As soon as these words came out, the man's face darkened immediately, and he stopped at the spot without leaving, staring at her fixedly, and said angrily: "What's going on with you young man?
City Lord Lu is such a good person, not to mention giving us such a high salary, but the food is sold to us at the cheapest price. Those boys in my family have gained a lot of weight, and you still think she is squeezing us ?

Hmph, the kindness of the city lord Lu actually feeds you such a white-eyed wolf, it's not a son of man. " Paused, as if feeling uneasy, he snatched the steamed stuffed bun from Lu Anran's hand, "Give it back to me!" "

She shoved the pannier back into her hand and said viciously, "Don't let me see you as a young man in the future, otherwise, I'll kill you and get the hell out of here." Without going back, I went to the canal, ready to dig.

Lu Anran stood there in a daze, looked at the pannier in his arms, and then at the people digging ditches in full swing, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he was scolded!

but……

She was also protected, should she be happy, or should she be happy?
Thinking of that man calling her a white-eyed wolf, Lu Anran couldn't help laughing, okay, being scolded by someone who protects her is really...fresh.

However, it seemed that the man didn't know what he said over there, and he would throw a few knives at her from time to time, and the people around him looked at her quite unkindly.

Lu Anran couldn't help laughing, well, it seems that he can't stay here for the time being, let's go to other places first.

As soon as she left, the man spat hard: "Hey, what a white-eyed wolf, if I see him again, I will beat him to death, how dare you speak ill of Lord Lu."

The man next to him gave him a blank look: "If you said it earlier, we'll go there and beat someone up."

"He's gone! No, I have to tell the city lord and her uncle that this kind of white-eyed wolf must be driven away, otherwise it will spoil many people, and I'm afraid that someone will harm her. Okay, you dig first, I will go talk."

"All right, all right, hurry up, it's best to let the adults want her."

Lu Anran, who had no idea that she was going to be 'wanted', was walking leisurely to the place where the sewer was dug. Here, her father Lu Wenyi and second brother Lu Ziqi were in charge.

The main economic area is covered with white ash, almost spreading to the whole city, but due to the reason that the calculation is still in progress, there is still no need to start construction, and it can only be carried out in stages.

When she arrived, the father and son, together with Li Chengfeng, Ruan Jikai and others, and a group of craftsmen were gathering around a large long table to calculate all the data of the sewer, wondering how difficult it was to match the huge history with the measured data. City, I feel like my head is about to explode.

Lu Anran just listened to it for a while and then ignored it. Architecture is not her specialty, so it is enough to let those who are good at it do it well. She only cares about the general direction.

After looking here, she was going to see the progress of the construction of the city wall. No matter how busy she was, she would check these projects every day. Every time she saw the increase of these key buildings, she was very happy.

Wangshan Village is the most remote village in Chaoxian County. It is located in the hot and humid area of ​​the Southwest. It is located in the lower reaches of the Kanjiang River, very close to Licheng. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can see the rushing water of the Kanjiang River from a distance. Water trickled by.

Different from the supporters of Lu Anran by the aborigines in Licheng, the people of Wangshan Village have always harbored a subconscious distrust of the well-known Lord Lu of Licheng.

Even when people from the surrounding villages and towns of Wangshan Village are gradually looking for job opportunities, the people of Wangshan Village are still watching with envy, timidity and retreat.

At this time, a family of three came on the mountain road of Wangshan Village, Ma Hongyu, Tian Dashan and their three sons.

The vernal equinox is coming soon, Ma Hongyu brought some good things to her natal home, and at the same time she is going to let her eldest brother and second brother go to work in Licheng.
