Deng Gong sighed and said: "Lord, this is already very good, no matter how good it is, but at least it is a nest, and those homeless people are afraid that they will not be able to live in such a house even if they dream."

Chen Chu thought about it: At present, it seems that the first thing to do is to build houses, and he also plans to accept the displaced people, so it is urgent to build houses and expand the village.

"Duke Deng, if you want to build a house for 5,000 people, how long will it take you?" Chen Chu asked thoughtfully.

Duke Deng was taken aback, he didn't understand what the lord had done. Although he had doubts in his heart, in the face of the question raised by the lord, Deng Gong did not dare to slack off, and immediately calculated it seriously. After a while, Duke Deng replied respectfully: "Lord, the old man has roughly calculated, if the whole village does it together, it will take about a month.

Chen Chu pondered for a moment and then said to Deng Gong: "Deng Gong, I will explain two things to you, first, divide half of the labor force in the village to build houses; Second, the other half of the labor force went to clear the wasteland and open as many wheat fields as possible. You're responsible for both.

Hearing this, Duke Deng hurriedly knelt down and said movingly: "The lord trusts the old man so much, and the old man will definitely live up to the trust of the lord."

Then Duke Deng suddenly remembered something and asked: "Lord, there is no problem in building houses and expanding the village, but there seems to be something wrong with this reclamation, can the lord have already obtained the approval of the government?"

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "What?" Does this reclamation still need the approval of the government?

Deng Gong looked at the lord with some doubts, and thought: This is common sense! Why doesn't the lord even know this!

Seeing Deng Gong's strange expression, Chen Chu immediately realized that he had made another common-sense mistake, and hurriedly covered up the past.

"Duke Deng, you just have to do what I say. I'll take care of the rest.

"Yes. The old man obeys the orders of the lord.

Chen Chu came to the end of the village accompanied by Deng Gong, and a large house of good quality appeared in front of him.

"What is this for?" Chen Chu asked with some curiosity.

"Lord, this is a warehouse where grain is stored, and there are 10,000 catties of grain in it, and there are more than 100,000 catties of grain stored here."

Chen Chu became interested when he heard this, "Oh, let's go, go in and have a look."

Deng Gong hurriedly asked the young man in the village to push the gate open.

When I walked into the warehouse, I saw hundreds of loads of grain stacked in a corner, which was very inconspicuous compared to the huge warehouse space.

Chen Chu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he just heard that there were 10,000 catties of grain, and he thought it would be a lot of food!

"By the way, Deng Gong, you just said that there are more than 100,000 catties of grain, so where is the rest of the grain?"

Deng Gong immediately replied: "This is the lord, it turns out that the master sent people to drive many carts to transport grain here last night, and most of the grain was transported by them. Hearing

this, Chen Chu suddenly realized, but he didn't feel the slightest displeasure, people only said to sell land, not to sell grain, these grains still belong to others in the final analysis, and it is already good for people to keep 10,000 catties of grain.

"It seems that your previous master was not too bad, and he knew to leave some grain for your rations." Chen Chu nodded appreciatively, and couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart for slaughtering people before.

Unexpectedly, Duke Deng shook his head and said, "Lord, the food here is not for us sluts to eat. Moreover, the reason why 10,000 catties of grain will be left here is entirely because the former owner did not have enough chariots and horses to carry it.

Chen Chuden was stunned, and after a long time, it turned out that he was self-inflicted!

Then he remembered something and asked: "Deng Gong, you just said that you don't eat the grain here, so what do you usually eat, do you have food on hand in every household?"

Deng Gong hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Lord, where can we usually eat this kind of food, it is usually just wild vegetables mixed with chran." As he spoke, he glanced at the pile of grain, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

"What!?" Chen Chu exclaimed in disbelief.

Damn it! Damn it! This doesn't treat people like people!

Deng Gong was startled by the lord's sudden shout, looking at the lord's gloomy face, Deng Gong couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, he didn't know why the lord was so angry.

"Deng Gong, don't eat bran in the future, just eat the grain here. In a word, as long as Chen is there in the future, we will no longer let everyone eat bran and other things that animals eat! I'll let everyone eat white flour steamed buns! Chen Chu said loudly. He said this from the bottom of his heart.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and then Deng Gong knelt on the ground with a puff, and then the other villagers also knelt down.

"The lord treats us so kindly, I am willing to sacrifice my life in return!" Deng Gong knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes.

"Lord!" All the villagers shouted along. This lord shouted very firmly, which showed that these villagers were completely loyal to Chen Chu at this time.

Chen Chu nodded with satisfaction, and then a wave of pride rose inexplicably in his chest.

Afterwards, Chen Chu wandered around the village again, chatting with the villagers. Chen Chu used to be a salesman in a pharmaceutical factory, and his eloquence can be said to have been perfected for a long time, and he is particularly good at getting closer. Unconsciously, Chen Chu and the villagers have become close, and the children in the village are still always following Chen Chu's buttocks, shouting from the uncle and uncle.

Chen Chu stayed in the village until almost noon before leaving.

Chen Chu returned home tiredly, and after entering the door, Xi habitually called "Rui'er", at this time in the past, Zhang Rui would probably not be angry to say "Aunt and grandma sleep", but today there was no response. Chen Chu hurriedly ran to the house and searched for it a few times, where was Zhang Rui's shadow? When I was in a hurry, I suddenly saw a note on the table: I have gone to Luoyang to find my brother, Mo Nian!
