However, Master Qiu suddenly got stuck, which may make this winter extremely difficult for them.

The two old men have clearly explained the pros and cons, and said: "This road can be opened, and it must be opened."

This road is located between two mountains. At that time, a mountain road was forcibly dug out from the middle. Unfortunately, because of the pile of stones that fell from the earthquake and landslide, it was no longer passable.

Seen from the outside, the entire mountain road is gathered inward like a trumpet, and the narrowest place can only accommodate two people.

After the past, there is another gully shaken by the earthquake, and a small bridge must be built at that time.

Pulling out the map, Wang Huai explained to the two old men: "We only need to sort out three miles of land for this road. If we get through this mountain road before winter, we can go straight to the Dazhou official road, and then it will be unimpeded."

Mr. Lin looked at the map, then looked at the mountain road in front of him, and said with emotion: "I used this mountain road to enter Molong Town, and I waited in line for a day in the narrow place before entering. At that time, I was still wondering why I didn't make the road It is more spacious, but now it seems that it is very difficult to open a road at that time."

"Yes." Mr. Kong also tapped on the pipe and said, "Knowledge is easier than practice. I also scolded the ancestors who opened the way back then. Now it seems that we are ignorant."

"Hey, if the predecessors opened it, we can also open it. Everyone, pick up the things, and we will open the mountain."

"The mountain has opened!"

The roar of hundreds of workers was deafening, waving their pickaxes and rushing towards the mountain road in front of them.

Because of the earthquake and landslides, the fallen stones were all huge boulders. A hole had to be drilled in the top of the stone with a copper chisel, then nailed in with a wooden wedge, poured with hot water, and then it could be softened and broken open.

Therefore, tools need to be purchased in advance, and then someone will boil water for water.

How to coordinate the working hours of hundreds of workers is also a technical task.

Mountain opening is not only a technical job, but also a physical job. In order to maintain physical strength, food and salt water are indispensable, which is another expense.

However, after the actual survey, Wang Huai had a pleasant surprise.

Most of the stones that fell here were brown. Even Wushuang's inspection showed that these stones were large pieces of iron ore. After digging out, there was no need to discard them. Afterwards, iron could be smelted by local methods, which was another income.

Due to the need for running-in and slow practice in the early stage, the speed of climbing the mountain is not fast.

The pressure brought by the progress is one aspect, and the gossip of the people around is the big one.

Every day a group of people enter the mountain in the early morning, and when they come back exhausted in the evening, they can always see someone squatting on the road and asking strangely, "What kind of mountain is there? There are so few people, can the mountain come out?"

"That's right, why don't you obediently find Mr. Qiu while the river is not frozen, because you have to do this kind of strenuous work."

The workers were said to be furious, but the two old men expressly forbade them to speak back to avoid conflicts.

Instead of looking for conflict, conflict starts looking for them.

On the morning of the sixth day, when the two old men were woken up to the construction site, they found that the cauldron used for eating had been smashed and the tools used to open the mountain were missing.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Lin shouted angrily: "Who was on duty last night, why did someone steal something!"

"it's me."

Hearing this voice, Mr. Lin turned around and shouted, "Lin Houzhao, it's you! You..."

But when he saw the person behind him, Mr. Lin's words stopped immediately.

The other party was supported and walked over, covered with bandages, the brow bone at the corner of the eye was broken, leaving a shocking wound.

Lin Houzhao is the youngest grandson of Mr. Lin. He usually does not do business and looks out of shape, so he does not like Mr. Lin very much.

But after hearing that the mountain was going to be opened, this kid was the first to run over to support it.

I thought he wanted to play for two days, but the process of opening the mountain was extremely serious, which changed Mr. Lin a lot.

Looking at Lin Houzhao, who was seriously injured, Mr. Lin was speechless for a long time, only tears in his eyes.

Lin Houzhao, a 16-year-old boy, laughed excitedly: "Grandpa, there are seven of them, but I'll beat up two of them. Don't worry, I didn't lose your reputation."

Mr. Lin turned his face away and said in a low voice: "Nonsense, nonsense! Why don't you call someone!"

"I shouted, but I saw that they were going to flee with tools, so I rushed up. I recognized one of the grandchildren. We will find a place after the mountain is opened."

Mr. Lin kept blinking, trying to hold back his tears.

After a long silence, Mr. Lin said in a low voice, "Okay, after the opening of the mountain, this place must be found."

Wang Huai watched this scene and whispered something in Lin Houzhao's ear.

Although Lin Houzhao refused to say who it was at the beginning, so as not to cause trouble, but Wang Huai couldn't help using his identity to suppress others, so he finally said it.

After knowing who the other party was, Wang Huai turned back to Dan Qingzi and said, "Dan Qingzi, do you want to be a big villain?"

"Of course I want to!" Dan Qingzi said, "Let's go, are you going to beat someone up?"

"Beating people is not in line with our status. Let's go, ransack the house."

"...Wang Huai, you are the villain, right?"

Ask the two old men to help purchase tools, and the two big villains are dispatched.

According to the information provided by Lin Houzhao, they went straight to the target after descending the mountain.

Kicking open the door, they grabbed the ruffian who had drunk and slept soundly from the bed, broke his leg with two kicks, and then threw him into the yard like dragging a dead dog.

After tearing off the opponent's hair, Wang Huai turned around and smashed everything that could be smashed in the opponent's house.

The pot was smashed, the bed was kicked in half, the door was smashed into pieces, and the bulldog at the door had its tail broken off, so that the other party dared to hide in the corner and whimper.

After smashing the house, Wang Huai and Dan Qingzi dragged each other to the square of Molong Town, then forced the other party to name their companions, and then went to the second house non-stop.

After the seven companions were all arrested, they were interrogated separately to find out the instigator.

After all, no matter how daring the ruffian is, it is impossible to attack him directly. There must be Master Qiu's instructions behind him.

There is another layer of relationship in the middle, that is, the big local households.

Finding this big family directly, Wang Huai whirlwind destroyed the opponent's house, and then dragged the opponent's owner to the square.

Wang Huai's movements were too loud, and he didn't hide anything when he was doing things, causing everyone in Molong Town to see it clearly.

In the square, Wang Huai looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, we have not been doing business properly when we came here. Today, we will open a case for trial. Master Shen, you ordered people to destroy the construction site and get the stolen goods. You What do you want to say? It’s okay, you can deny it as much as you like, I will torture you as much as you like, and everyone will be happy.”

The owner of the Shen family who was caught was only in his 40s.

Looking at Wang Huai, he still wanted to deny it, but when he saw the table leg raised by Dan Qingzi, he lowered his head and said, "I plead guilty."

"Simply! A fine of three thousand silver and ten sticks, do you have any objections?"

"Yes. Can you stick twenty instead of fines?"

Wang Huai couldn't help laughing: "At this time, you are still thinking about money. You are really talented. Then I will give you a chance to tell who ordered you, and I can consider taking it lightly."

Master Shen bit his lip and hesitated for a long time, but when he saw the men in black mixed in the crowd, he gritted his teeth again, and said firmly: "No one instructed, but I don't like Mr. Lin and Mr. Kong. I did it privately." of."

Wang Huai also glanced at the man in black in the crowd, and knew that the man in black was Master Qiu's subordinate.

It seems that Molong Town is still quite afraid of Master Qiu.

After flirting with Dan Qingzi, the other party came forward with a smirk, raised the table leg, and slapped Patriarch Shen's ass hard.

After screaming, Patriarch Shen was beaten to pieces and passed out completely.

Asking Patriarch Shen's family to take the other party away, Wang Huai shouted to the other party: "The money will be delivered within three days, or you will be ready to go to jail."

After sending Patriarch Shen away, Wang Huai smiled and looked at the people around him.

Watched by Wang Huai, some people with ulterior motives felt as if they were being watched by wild beasts, and lowered their heads in fear.

With a sigh of relief, Wang Huai said to the group of people: "I know you are afraid of Mr. Qiu, it's okay, if I were in your position, I would be afraid too."

"But you all have to understand that opening the way is a great thing. The angrier Mr. Qiu is, the more it means that this way should be taken."

"I don't ask you for help, I just ask you to think about it, who is helping you and who is harming you!"

"If you don't help, I don't care. But if you want to be a dog, just come and try! Well, it's fine."

After finishing speaking, Wang Huai thought of something again, and continued: "After the mountain road is opened, everyone can walk. The toll fee is five or two taels of silver for a carriage, and ten cents for each person. No money will be charged when you come back. Now help , I will count him as a shareholder, and I will reduce or reduce it as appropriate in the future. You can do the math yourself to see if it is a bargain with Mr. Qiu, or with me."

Afterwards, Wang Huai called Shang Dan Qingzi and went back to work.

Behind him, a group of people lowered their heads like quails and returned home in silence.

But in their hearts, they all began to silently settle the accounts, calculating which side would earn more.

On the way back, Dan Qingzi gave Wang Huai a thumbs up: "Both grace and power are important, you are quite suitable to be an official."

"Generally, you are quite suitable to be a villain."

"Hey, each other."

The old and the young laughed for a while, and then went on to work.

In the distance, Yue Ling saw all this through the celestial eyepiece, and felt his heart beating faster and faster.

Wang Huai's attitude of shouting and asking was very domineering, which made her heart beat faster again.

"It's over, in love."

"No, it's more love."

Chapter 52 Yue Ling's Determination

After shocking a group of Xiao Xiaoxiao, the subsequent road construction work went much smoother.

Now, the people in Molong Town are all the county magistrate's counselor, who is a ruthless character, the kind who smashes the family if they don't agree with each other.

Patriarch Shen originally wanted to lick Master Qiu, but he didn't expect to lick him all over, and when he got home, he looked at the family whose eggs had been shaken and wanted to cry without tears.

On the contrary, the county magistrate Sun Luming is a talkative person. He not only came to appease Patriarch Shen, but also told the other party to pay 3000 taels slowly, and just give 1000 taels in the early stage.

After dealing with the outside affairs, the road construction work continued.

During the day, the workers are constantly busy at the intersection, digging open the iron ore, and then transporting it to the county government for subsequent refining.

There, Lian Wushuang has already started designing a new furnace, preparing to design a smelting tool specifically for the iron ore here, striving to smelt iron as soon as possible.

He is even more curious about the different proportions of steel, and really wants to have enough materials early so that he can start his own steel experiment as soon as possible.

In the evening, it was Wang Huai who drove the mechanic puppet to detour to the other side of the mountain road to smash some tough bones first.

The mechanic puppet is powered by mana, and it has the strength of a hundred people when it is fully operational. The hard stone is vulnerable to a blow in front of the mechanic puppet.

With the help of the mechanic puppet, some boulders that were almost impossible to cut before can also be easily handled.

But Wang Huai didn't want to let the mechanic puppet do all the work.

Road construction is a major event to enhance collective cohesion, and it can also awaken Molong Town's sense of ownership.

After doing everything, the next time they encounter the same situation, they will not try to save themselves, but will pray to God and worship Buddha, completely unaware of the power hidden in their bodies.

God saves those who save themselves, Wang Huai just wants to push them behind the scenes.

A patrol team formed spontaneously by the laborers also began to operate. A group of workers took turns every day to prevent what happened to Lin Houzhao from happening again.

In addition, Wang Huai also gained a few fanboys.

Mr. Lin personally came to the door with a gift, handed some bacon to Wang Huai, and said sincerely: "My lord, that useless grandson of my family heard that you are outstanding in martial arts, so he has been pestering me to come to apprentice. Ah, that child I don't want to do anything, it's rare that I want to practice martial arts now, and I ask Mr. Wang to save face. There is no need to be too dedicated, just let him learn some skills."

Although one mouthful is useless, when Mr. Lin mentioned his grandson, his eyes were full of smiles.

I thought that the descendants of the Lin family were not promising, but when I suddenly saw a grandson with backbone, I naturally wanted to train him well.

If he is really willing to make progress, then give him a little bit of the Lin family's business.

After the transfer of power is over, he can also take care of himself and wait for his great-grandson.

Wang Huai didn't mind having more disciples either.

After all, it's quite fun to think that Sun Yu and the devil can have more juniors.

But thinking of this incident, Wang Huai fell into another ethical dilemma.

I am the master of the devil, and Yue Ling is the daughter of the devil, but Yue Ling is my senior sister, so how should this seniority issue be calculated?

Wang Huai thought about it for a long time and didn't think about how to calculate it. He could only say that turning the effect into the cause is a heinous crime.

Speaking of which, where did Yue Ling go?

In addition to Lin Houzhao, Master Kong also sent two children to study with Lin Houzhao.

For these three teenagers, Wang Huai didn't plan to follow the method of the demon head, just polish the bones in the ordinary way, and then slowly build up strength.

Teaching people to practice martial arts, although it will take a little time, is also a way to improve one's own martial arts.

In the process of teaching others, it is also a kind of sorting out what I have learned, and at the same time, it can also cultivate my own vision, which is also very helpful for my future growth.
