Through Time Chapter 158

Early the next morning, Zhao Lang led his men to the construction site he was to be responsible for.

This was a small hill.

Most of the Great Wall was built on the terrain.

This saves a lot of material and makes use of the danger.

And coincidentally, the other hill next to it is Li Shang’s.

Zhao Lang greeted the man and asked how the other man’s head was doing.

Unfortunately the other person gave him a blank stare and ignored him.

It was a bit of a pity, after all, there was only one acquaintance here.

“Benefactor, leave everything here to me, I will not miss your business.”

Fan Xiliang said to Zhao Lang.

They were working under anyone, and it was their luck that they were replaced by Zhao Lang, who was kind-hearted.

Zhao Long was also in a good mood, after all, the folk piece was something he didn’t have to work too hard on.

The only thing was that building the city was extremely mechanical and boring.

He watched the folk carrying the timber and stones for the Great Wall from the bottom of the hill to the top.

Although the hill was not very high, it was extremely hard work.

Especially when the sun came up, the already dry and thin folk were like dried fish without water.

Breathing with their mouths open and trembling with each step, they looked extremely uncomfortable.

As Zhao Lang watched this scene, he could not help but frown.

After a slight thought, he called Fan Xiliang, who was sweating profusely, over and said

“It’s also sunny now, so let everyone rest.”

Fan Xiliang looked at Zhao Lang and froze for a moment, a smile appeared on his face and said.

“Your benefactor is kind-hearted, it’s just that we can’t rest now, otherwise this daily ration won’t be done.”

Although the Great General did not give a specific time limit, there were rules for the construction of the Great Wall.

Otherwise, if we kept delaying, we didn’t know how long we would have to repair it.

Zhao Lang shook his head and said.

“It won’t work this way, it will kill us.”

Fan Xiliang froze again and said, with a few moments of bitterness

“Benefactor, how can this repair of the city not kill people?”

“It is already enlightening that you did not supervise us with a whip.”

“But the governor’s inspection comes every half month, and if it is not completed, then everyone will not live, and you will be chastised.”

Zhao Lang still shook his head and said that

“If this goes on, I’m afraid that all my people will die before half of this city is repaired.”

The vast majority of the folk here are farmers.

As the head of a farming family, these people were indeed his people too.

A strange look flashed across Fan Xiliang’s eyes, but he returned, nevertheless

“Naturally, there will be a supplement.”

Zhao Lang gave the other party a look, clearly he was also a folk, how could he be even more ruthless than him.

With a wave of his hand, he said indifferently that

“It’s not worth it to die like this.”

“Stop it.”

“And then you go and get all the smiths in the militia.”

Only then did Fan Xiliang take orders and go.

Only then did Zhao Lang realise that Oi, Gao, the few men, did not know where to run.

It is estimated that they went to be lazy, this group of second generation is really unreliable.

But now he didn’t have time to care about them, clearing out a space on the ground, Zhao Lang used a wooden stick to start writing and drawing.

Soon, a simple style one-wheeled cart appeared on the ground.

In the present situation, a one-wheeled cart was the most suitable.

It is easy to manufacture, single-handedly operated and saves time and effort.

It didn’t take long for Fan Xiliang to come along with the men.

“Benefactor, these are the artisans from the camp.”

Zhao Lang nodded and pointed to the small one-wheeled cart on the ground and said

“You happen to be a carpenter too, let’s see how long it will take to make this thing.”

Fan Xiliang frowned and looked at the pattern on the ground.

His eyes gradually brightened up and

“Benefactor, what is this!”

Zhao Lang said indifferently, the

“A one-wheeled cart, which can be operated by one person.”

Zhao Lang explained slightly, and Fan Xiliang knew how to make it.

With a few moments of excitement, he said that

“Benefactor, this one-wheeled cart is simply a wonder! The wood is readily available, I’ll bring someone to make it!”

Zhao Lang said.

“Wait, there’s one more thing…”

Without waiting for Zhao Lang to finish, Fan Xiliang went straight to say that

“Please don’t worry, benefactor, I will not let others know.”

“You will certainly be commended when I finish ahead of schedule!”

To what Zhao Lang wanted to say, Fan Xiliang was not surprised; no one else would easily hand over such a strange object.

Instead, Zhao Lang froze for a moment, he hadn’t really thought of this.

But it was a wake up call for him, shaking his head and saying.

“No need to keep it a secret, the more people know about this stuff the better.”

That little credit was nothing compared to his peasants.

Fan Xiliang froze in his tracks as Zhao Lang went on to say that

“What I’m saying is, for the food later, give a full portion, when you’re full, you’ll have the strength to work.”

Fan Xi-liang became more and more shocked and wanted to speak, but he saw Zhao Lang waving his hand.

“I know that food is also rationed, no matter, I will take care of the food.”

“You just do as you are told.”

Fan Xiliang looked at Zhao Lang with an extremely complicated expression and said that

“Many thanks to your benefactor.”

Then he led his men away.

By the afternoon, Fan Xiliang had made a unicycle.

It was rudimentary though, and the wheels were not so smooth.

But it was indeed a unicycle.

After seeing Fan Xiliang, who was not too strong, pushing a cart of materials up the hill without too much effort.

Zhao Lang knew that it was a done deal.

“Benefactor! This is simply a miracle!”

Fan Xiliang shouted with extreme excitement.

The others were also full of excitement.

With this strange object, they could at least save half of their energy!

“Alright, go and make some more out of it.”

Zhao Lang said with a smile.

At once a few people were ready to leave, and Fan Xiliang asked more questions and said that

“Benefactor, is it true that this thing does not need to be kept secret?”

“No need.”

Zhao Lang returned blandly.

By the time the evening was over, Fan Xiliang had led the men to make dozens of unicycles out.

The progress of transporting materials had obviously increased a lot.

This is the power of technology now.

It was night.

In the humble straw hut where the folk gather.

Fan Xiliang is faintly dazed, while Meng Jiangnu is sewing him.

It does seem a little cozy.

“Mother, what kind of person do you think the benefactor is?”

Fan Xiliang suddenly spoke up and asked.

“Then of course he is a good man.”

Meng Jiang Niu returned with a smile.

“Helping me find you, and keeping the folk fed, what is a good man if not a good man?”

Fan Xiliang sighed with emotion and

“Nowadays, there are not many good people.”

Meng Jiang Nu pulled off a thread with her mouth and said.

“Who says otherwise, come, I’ll mend this dress for you.”

Fan Xiliang also showed a smile.

It was late at night, and when everyone was already asleep, Fan Xiliang got up secretly.

He walked into another hut, took out a piece of cloth with a unicycle painted on it, and said.

“Urgent letter to the great son, Fan Xiliang, a disciple of the Mozi family, has found a great talent!”

“He has the style of a sage and a talent from heaven! I am willing to recommend him as a candidate for the Vantage Point!”
