Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"very good."

Lin Shaowen looked around and said, "Others, don't be discouraged. When the brick factory is built, we will need a large number of manpower. Of course...the branch secretary will announce these things when the time comes."

"Everyone please disperse first. The village chief and I have something to discuss." Wang Yousheng stood up.

"You guys go back." Lin Shaowen waved to Yang Weiguo and others.

"Wow, you are so good, Lin Shaowen. You use people forward instead of backward, right?" Zhao Qingshan was not happy.

"How could that be? Our village chief likes to joke around." Wang Yousheng immediately stepped forward to smooth things over. "All the leaders have come from far away. We have already prepared the food. Please come in..."

"After all, the branch secretary is the one who knows how to behave. Look at you." Zhao Qingshan sneered.

"This money should be included in the entertainment expenses of the steel mill."

Lin Shaowen's words made Lu Youtie and Yang Weiguo so angry that they threw him to the ground and beat him up.

Zhao Qingshan couldn't help but kick him twice in the butt. This kid deserved to be punished.

Wang Yousheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Zhang Xiaoyu covered her mouth and laughed secretly, letting Lin Shaowen cry and scream.

evening.

The three village heads and a room full of village cadres were all unconscious.

Lin Shaowen, with a slightly red face, took Zhang Xiaoyu to the river bank to survey the terrain. After a while, a group of women walked into the village branch office cursing and started to clean up.

Chapter 412: The sound of the kiln door brings a fortune

The next day.

When Wang Yousheng woke up with his head covered, his wife came to tell him that the three factory managers from the city had run away.

That's right, he just ran away.

The three of them almost got drunk to death yesterday. When Lin Shaowen went to visit them in the morning with two large pots of rice wine, smiling, their faces turned pale.

So, after having breakfast, he slipped away when Lin Shaowen wasn't paying attention.

Wang Yousheng quickly washed up and ran to the village branch, but didn't see Lin Shaowen. He then ran to the health center, but didn't see him either.

Only then did someone tell him that the village chief had gone to the brick factory by the river early in the morning.

When he arrived, he was completely dumbfounded.

The river bank has been cleared. Some villagers are cutting trees, some are building kilns, and a group of women are making fires and cooking. They are busy and having a lot of fun.

The village cadres are also not idle, each of them is responsible for supervising a team.

Even the logistics of cooking are managed by the women's director, and the main focus is on clear division of labor.

Wang Yousheng felt both relieved and a little disappointed.

In the end, the old is being replaced by the new.

"Secretary, you're just in time." Lin Shaowen spotted him and walked over. "Please decide on the work points for these people. Also... the brick factory is temporarily recruiting 20 people. See which ones are suitable."

"These……"

"Of course you decide these." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Didn't we agree on this? I will only take care of economic development, and you will handle the rest."

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it."

Wang Yousheng's disappointment was swept away and he immediately began to make arrangements.

In three days, all six brick kilns were built.

The factory building was supported by several large wooden beams and covered with tiles, but it was drafty on all sides. The villagers originally planned to surround it with wood, but Lin Shaowen insisted on using the first batch of red bricks to build the wall. Everyone had no choice but to agree.

Boom!

The machine started running, and twenty workers began to work under the command of Wang Laoliu.

Every day there is an endless stream of people coming to the brick factory to watch the excitement, even people from neighboring villages come.

Wang Yousheng was also cautious and decided not to let them see Lin Shaowen.

midnight.

Beside the Yuanshui River.

Wang Laoliu handed Lin Shaowen a torch and said, "Village Chief, this is the first fire for the kiln..."

"Of course, let the branch secretary do it." Lin Shaowen said solemnly, "We don't promote feudal superstition, but we also have to know that the branch secretary is the most prestigious person in our group. If he is the one to start the fire...all the evil spirits will have to stand aside, not to mention that behind him are the ancestors of your Wangjia Village."

The elderly people who came to watch nodded vigorously, as these words really touched their hearts.

"Party secretary..."

Wang Laoliu handed the torch to Wang Yousheng again.

"Brother, I feel unworthy of this." Wang Yousheng said to Lin Shaowen with a red face.

"Don't waste time." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Eh."

Wang Yousheng lit the kiln fire.

"Good luck in starting the fire, everything goes smoothly and safely."

With Wang Laoliu's shout, six brick kilns burst into flames.

Seeing this, Lin Shaowen patted Wang Yousheng on the shoulder and went home to sleep.

Wang Yousheng opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

Brick-making usually lasts about a week. During this week, almost all the villagers will hang around the brick kiln. Even those who live far away will go to the river every day.

Lin Shaowen, however, continued to do his own thing, either teaching students or treating patients.

Compared to Lin Shaowen's calm and relaxed life, Wang Yousheng was not so lucky. He had to guard the brick kiln every day, going there before dawn and not returning home until midnight. In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

Finally the day to open the kiln arrived.

This time, Wang Laoliu was very smart and went straight to Wang Yousheng.

Wang Yousheng glanced at Lin Shaowen, and after seeing that he was smiling, he opened the kiln door.

"The sound of the kiln door is worth a fortune."

After Wang Laoliu shouted loudly, everyone gathered around.

Lin Shaowen took the red brick handed over by Wang Yousheng, weighed it, held the brick in his left hand, and chopped down suddenly with his right hand.

Bang!

After a crisp sound, the red brick broke into two pieces.

"hiss."

Many people took a breath.

Many people know that Lin Shaowen is skilled in martial arts.

But they really didn't expect that they could split bricks with one hand, especially such thick red bricks.

Zhang Xiaoyu was watching from the side with great amazement, and there were almost stars in her eyes.

"Village chief...how is the quality of this brick?" Wang Yousheng swallowed.

"not bad."

Lin Shaowen waved his hand and said, "You arrange for people to build the factory first. If anyone wants to see our quality in the future, take them to the factory to see it."

"it is good."

Wang Yousheng nodded quickly.

After Lin Shaowen smiled, he turned around and immediately grinned.

Damn, the brick was too hard and almost broke his hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyu felt both distressed and amused and went forward to rub his hands.

Seeing this, Wang Yongnian was about to say something, but was glared at by Wang Yousheng.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Tell the villagers that if anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will kill him."

"Yes, Secretary."

Wang Yongnian trembled all over and dared not say anything more.

Village branch.

Lin Shaowen hesitated for a moment, but still made a phone call.

"Hey……"

"Mr. Zhao, I'm Lin Shaowen."

"Wow, why did you think of calling me? What difficulties have you encountered?" Zhao Qingming laughed heartily.

"Mr. Zhao, I want to ask...have Sister Qingmei and Li Xinmin divorced?" Lin Shaowen said softly.

"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Zhao Qingming frowned slightly.

"If they're divorced, then let's forget about this matter. If they're not divorced... then I'd like to ask him for a favor." Lin Shaowen said with a wry smile.

"Oh, what ability does he have to help you?" Zhao Qingming asked in surprise.

In his eyes, Li Xinmin was just a flatterer.

His administrative ability is average, but he is good at wielding power.

For such people, execution is a light punishment.

"I set up a brick factory in Wangjia Village. The bricks produced are of very good quality, as you know... The supply and marketing cooperative certainly can't consume so many, so I can only find a market myself." Lin Shaowen was helpless.

Nowadays, it’s not that many things cannot be done, but it’s about what to do after you do them.

Private sale? Come on, speculation is a serious crime.

Only public to public, that is, you go to the unit to receive the supplies. Generally speaking, everyone is very poor and has no money to pay you, but you can barter. I will exchange my supplies for your supplies. As long as the unit does not suffer a loss, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye.

Zhao Qingming pondered for a long time before he said, "Your sister Qingmei doesn't want to divorce him."

"I understand." Lin Shaowen breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's a criminal. If there's a place where he can make use of his remaining energy, it would be like making use of his waste," Zhao Qingming said softly.

"Okay, if possible, let him come to my place." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Xiao Lin..."

Zhao Qingming hesitated for a while before he said, "I would like to thank you on behalf of your sister Qingmei."

"You're welcome. We're all family."

Lin Shaowen let out a long sigh.

If Zhao Qingmei was unwilling to divorce Li Xinmin, she would have saved his life.

Chapter 413 He is my old leader

The next day, it was just dawn.

Lin Shaowen saw a figure loitering at the door. Before he could stand up, he heard Zhang Xiaoyu exclaim.

"Director Li?"

"Xiao Zhang, long time no see." Li Xinmin forced a smile.

"Why don't you come in now?" Lin Shaowen pushed the door open and walked out.

"Thank you, Lao Lin."

Li Xinmin bowed deeply to Lin Shaowen.

"Why are you thanking me? If it weren't for Sister Qingmei, you would probably have been shot." Lin Shaowen punched him.

"I know." Li Xinmin said gratefully, "I also realized my mistake, from now on..."
