The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 44 The business is done

As a result, the enthusiasm of all the craftsmen was indeed improved. When building houses for others, they would try their best to recommend the green bricks from the village.

Sales are getting better and better, and some are even in short supply.

Lin Hai originally just wanted to save costs, but he didn't expect that the brick kiln would actually become an industry.

Of course, Lin Hai would not let go of such a good opportunity. He had another brick kiln dug and the two brick kilns were fired together, doubling the efficiency.

But in this way, more wood is consumed for making bricks.

People in the village go out to cut firewood every day.As expected, a road was built day by day.

Wang Dayong became a little sad.

He went to Lin Hai specifically and said, "Do you think this is okay? If someone finds out and reports it to the government, we won't be able to live with it."

Lin Hai looked at the road ahead and fell into deep thought.

At the beginning, only three meters wide was cut for people to walk on.

More and more firewood was used later, extending the road to seven meters.

Although it was much easier to walk than before, the mountain road was rugged and the carriage would definitely not be able to pass.

At most, you can only ride an animal and walk over there.

This is also to facilitate the transportation of trees, and the road has been doubled.

"Let's make do with it for now! Anyway, the brick kiln has started to make a profit, why don't we spend money to buy wood from outside!" Lin Hai said while holding his chin.

"I think so too, we can't be too arrogant. If the government really pursues the case, we can't afford it!" Wang Dayong said.

“Just do as you say and send someone with money to buy some wood.

As a result, our profits will be reduced a lot, which is really uncomfortable! "Lin Hai sighed helplessly.

"Just be content, now the bricks used in every village in the country are shipped from us.

Now people in the village can work and make money in their free time...

Before those women could live in the houses built for them, more than a dozen of them were already married and brought home.

Moreover, the wages you pay are also high, and women can still make money when they come out to work. "Wang Dayong said with a smile.

"Yes, after you build your own house, it will be useful in the future.

There are many fields in our village, and tenants come to work during the busy farming season.

Just put them in those houses! Lin Hai said.

"Yes, this is good, nothing is wasted!"

Wang Dayong nodded in agreement.

“We haven’t hunted in several days, leaving other people here to chop wood.

Find a few people and let's go hunting in the mountains! "

Lin Hai had not used the shotgun in his hand for a long time and felt a little itchy.

Invite a few people to go into the woods together.

Shitou and Tiedan Liu Ergou, plus Wang Dayong, there were five people in total.

Now each person holds a bow and arrows and two crossbows, a standard weapon configuration.

Lin Hai also has two gunpowder guns here.

Even if it encounters a tiger, it has enough firepower to easily destroy it.

Lin Hai said while walking: "I didn't bring you here just for hunting.

We crossed the entire Beishan Mountain to see how this road could be built.

As far as I know, the other side should be the official road, if this road can be built.

You can save a lot of time when you want to go out! "

"Even the closest distance is four to five miles! Wouldn't it be too much of an investment to do this?" Wang Dayong said.

“If we had to build this road specifically, we would definitely not be able to afford it, but there is a lot of wood on the road, and we can save a lot of money.

In this way, not only do you not have to invest money, but you can also make a small profit! Lin Hai said with a smile. "Your method is better. This is called turning waste into treasure." "

Liu Ergou didn't think that much. In his opinion, as long as he could make money, it was a good thing.

Lin Hai didn't explain much and led them forward.

Find the road in advance and mark it, and then follow this road to cut down trees.

Finally, when we came to a place near the official road, we suddenly heard the sound of a wild beast roaring.

The cry of this beast is all too familiar, it is the roar of a tiger.

Immediately hold the weapon in your hand tightly.

"There seems to be a tiger here. Should we capture the tiger?" Liu Ergou was a little scared and a little excited.

You must know that killing a tiger can be exchanged for at least 200 taels of silver, which is not a small amount of money.

“Go and take a look first, then kill the tiger if circumstances permit.

If there is any danger, we must retreat immediately without force. Lin Hai said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll go to the front to check the news, you guys follow me!"

After Wang Dayong finished speaking, without waiting for everyone's agreement, he walked forward with his crossbow.

The key is that they don't have long guns in their hands.

Everyone only has a short dagger.

It would be very dangerous if the tiger could not be killed with crossbows and gunpowder guns.

It's just a slope away from the official road.

When they came to the slope together, they found that the tiger had actually run onto the official road.

There was a carriage on the official road, and several officers and soldiers protected the carriage in the middle.

There were actually two tigers surrounding the person, constantly trying to attack.

"These tigers are so rampant that they actually come to the official road and hurt people." Shitou gritted his teeth and pointed a bow and arrow at a tiger.

“It seems that we have been too aggressive in hunting during this period, causing the number of prey in Beishan to become less and less.

The tiger couldn't find enough to eat, so it had to go to the official road to hunt.

Logically speaking, there are so many people, and it is impossible for a tiger to attack. " Lin Hai explained.

"You don't have to think about it so much. Since we have encountered you, we can't let it go easily.

This is 400 taels of silver! "Stone shouted loudly.

Hearing someone speaking, the officers and soldiers below quickly shouted loudly.

"Is there someone over there? Come and help us! As long as we can drive away these tigers, we will be greatly grateful!"

Lin Hai did not rush down immediately because of the officers and soldiers' shouts.

The tiger also discovered the presence of someone here and began to become more and more irritable.

He probably had been hungry for too long, so he would rather risk his life than hunt the people in front of him.

Lin Hai put gunpowder into two guns!

He said unhurriedly: "There are two tigers in total. If we don't handle it well, we may be killed by the tigers.

Dayong came to take command, and we gathered all our strength to deal with the same tiger.

After shooting the bow and arrow, immediately switch to the crossbow, but keep the second crossbow to deal with the second tiger.

Never shoot arrows randomly! "

"Don't worry, leave it to me, we will definitely win!" Wang Dayong promised.

"We don't need to kill these tigers. As long as we can severely injure the tigers and cannot catch up with us, we will win.

With so many of us plus those officers and soldiers, we can kill a tiger with a knife! " Lin Hai explained carefully.

At this moment, the tiger below could no longer bear it and rushed forward with a low roar.
