"Mr. Cao is an expert, it's best to let him do it." Han Qinhu nodded hurriedly when he heard this.

"If Changfu and the others are given more guidance, this house will be built soon." Hong Lianshuo said gently, "There will be no fights over the landowners and gentry's houses." He looked at them with crooked eyebrows and said,

"Gold silver nest nest as their own kennel."

"This is not a kennel, this house is nice!" Chen Zhongyuan immediately retorted after hearing this, "Hey! I haven't even lived in one."

"There are many opportunities." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with gentle eyes and said.

"It seems like it hasn't rained in Yandu City." Chen Zhongyuan suddenly remembered and said.

"How did you know?" Mo Sanya asked.

"The vulture's feathers are not even wet!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with his big bell-like eyes and said, "Have you remembered?"

"It's really a thunderstorm." Hong Lianshuo smiled when he heard this.

"It's a pity. If it rains, I'll take a look at whether the previously flooded roads in our city will still be flooded. Is Wuding River okay?" Lin Nanzheng pursed his lips and looked at them with phoenix eyes.

"The city will not be flooded. This is all calculated." Hong Lianshuo said without thinking, "As for the Wuding River, it's really hard to say."

"Anyway, this rain isn't just for this one time. Are you still worried about no rain during the rainy season?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his deep black eyes and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. You can get busy! I'll go draw a picture."

Chen Zhongyuan and the others bowed and turned to leave. Hong Lianshuo spent half the afternoon drawing the floor plan of the county seat.

Chen Zhongyuan waited until the rainwater had soaked in and the loess roads were no longer muddy. He beat the county gong and walked through the streets to promote taxes.

"Brother Chen, this really only charges 30 taxes."

"Of course, why did I lie to you?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with his big copper bell-like eyes and said, "Why did I lie to you? This is not a tax payment immediately."

"Then we really paid thirty taxes!"

Chen Zhongyuan looked at the people gathered around and said, "You can go and pay now."

"Then I'll go now." They all went home one after another to pay taxes.

&*&

"Ms. Hong, Mrs. Hong." Haiwazi ran in and shouted.

"What are you doing! Are you in such a hurry?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him funny and said, put down the brush in his hand, picked up the cloth on the table and wiped the sweat from his hands.

"They come to pay taxes. They come to pay taxes with a wheelbarrow." Haiwazi said excitedly, pointing outside.

"Wouldn't it be nice to pay taxes?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with gentle eyes and said.

"It's very good! But you'd better go and see it yourself!" Haiwazi said anxiously.

"Let's go take a look." Hong Lianshuo walked towards the gate of the county government office.

"We agreed to pay a tax of 30 per cent, so how can we charge more?" Chen Zhongyuan said seriously.

"I will change it for you. If you don't change it, I will starve to death."

"What do you mean? We have had a good harvest of wheat. We have enough to eat. How can we starve to death?" Chen Zhongyuan chuckled and shook his head as he looked at them.

"I'm not lying to you. This land was divided, and the wheat on it was also given to us, but we can't afford it!"

"That's what you said, why can't you afford it?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at them doubtfully and said.

"The wheat production is too small, and there is no surplus grain at home. We wait until the wheat is harvested, and the only wheat we have will be exchanged for sorghum rice by the landlord."

"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at them in shock, "Are they all like this?"

"It's like this. Apart from paying the rent, the rest has been exploited by the landlords and their old wealth."

"But what can we do? If we don't switch to sorghum rice, we won't be able to feed our family at all."

Someone spotted Hong Lianshuo and immediately came up to him and said, "Ms. Hong, please allow me to change!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Hong Lianshuo pressed down his hands and said, "I understand the situation. Let's discuss something and make sure you keep your wheat."

Both Android and Apple are available.]

"What's going on!"

"If I can keep the wheat, can I eat the white flour steamed buns?" the young voice said pitifully, looking at Hong Lianshuo.

"Children, why are you so greedy?" The elders took their children and scolded them.

"Wait a moment." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with warm eyes and said, then looked back at Haiwazi and waved, "Haiwazi, go get the county plan I drew on the table."

"Yes!" Haiwazi responded with his hands raised.

"Wait a moment." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with gentle eyes and said.

After a while, Haiwazi came over with the floor plan rolled up.

"Come and open it." Hong Lianshuo and Haiwazi unfolded the floor plan of the county.

"This is our county." Everyone said around the floor plan.

"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo handed one side of the floor plan to Mo Sanya, pointed at the floor plan and said, "A heavy rain a few days ago almost flooded our adobe house. Let's plan it carefully this time.

Build a house and repair the ground so that it won’t be flooded. When it rains, there won’t even be a place to stand.”

"Ah! There is such a good thing." they said excitedly.

"You can pay the tax on enough wheat, and you can take back the rest..."

Before Hong Lianshuo finished speaking, he heard them shouting, "No, no."

Hong Lianshuo looked at the excited crowd and said, "Just listen to what I have to say."

"You say, you say."

"We need manpower to build a house. For one day's work, we will give you one day's rations." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said.

"Really?"

"Really." Hong Lianshuo pointed at a corner of the floor plan and said, "This time we will not build an adobe house, which is not strong. We will build a red brick house, which is better than the landlord's house."

"That's great." The crowd was encouraged.

"Is there a kang?" Lan Hai shouted loudly, "It won't be cold in winter."

"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo laughed loudly.

"What is Kang?"

"Kang! I'll tell you later." Lan Hai said happily.

“Are we also going to build houses in our village?”

"We can't just build the city!"

"That's right, that's right, Madam Hong, you can't favor one thing over another."

"Build! We will also build houses in rural areas." Hong Lianshuo replied to them simply.

"Very good."

"The house will be built soon, but the food is still not enough to eat!"

"The road can still be built!" Hong Lianshuo nodded their feet, "Look at the mud on these shoes. I don't want to build the road to make it easier to walk!"

“I’ve only dreamed about it, but how will this road be repaired?”

"It would be a great blessing if the road could really be repaired."

"In low-lying areas, where there should be padding, it should be tamped firmly, and paved with cobblestones, it's okay!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with warm eyes and said.

"There is no shortage of these things on the river beach."

"I can do this."
