    Strike while the iron is hot—add more bookshelves! Chapter Thirty: The Great Leap Forward Plan. When the wine jar was empty, Wang Yifan tossed the gleaming lamb bone onto the table, wiped his greasy fingers on a cloth, and let out a satisfied burp, slightly tipsy: "While everyone's here, we need to finalize the 'year-end sprint' for Dulonggang—that sounds interesting, doesn't it? I came up with it last night. It means we have to finish the work before the end of the year, and do it beautifully!" The men at the table blinked in disbelief. Lu Zhishen, licking the oil off his elbow bone, slapped his thigh, his staff crashing to the ground with a thud, making the table legs tremble: "Sprint? Isn't that the same as the 'fierce thrust' I used when practicing spear fighting? If we're building houses, I'll lead the militia to move stones, guaranteeing they'll be sturdier than the walls of Tokyo—when we were building the cement factory in the summer, the stones were so thick even mice couldn't get in!" "Not just for building houses." Wang Yifan waved his hand, staggered to the wall, and pointed to the newly pasted "Hujiazhuang Construction Plan Map." The circles and dots drawn on it with vermilion were more conspicuous than wine stains. "The roads in and out of the workshops need to be rebuilt, all cement roads, wide enough for three horse-drawn carriages to run side by side, so the old man driving the carriage won't even need to hold the reins; the industrial area needs to be enclosed by city walls. These days, without city walls to protect you, it's like a new bride not wearing her wedding dress, anyone dares to lift the curtain—our Hujiazhuang can't show that weakness." Hearing this, Qiu Qiongying interjected, "The city walls need to have arrow slits. Our women's guard team's archery skills are more accurate than the men's team's." He pointed heavily at the location of "Hu Family Village Main City," spittle flying onto the blueprint: "The old village's walls also need to be plastered with cement, thick enough to withstand Lu Zhishen's staff! At that time, not to mention the Liangshan 'chicken and duck team,' even if the entire Zhu Family Village mobilized, they would have to eat mud at the base of the wall—oh no, I mean eat cement!" Qiu Shixiong stroked his white beard, speaking slowly, his voice as steady as a millstone: "That makes sense. But how many people will be needed after the workshop is built? At least several hundred, right? Nowadays, the villagers are guarding their few acres of meager land; who would be willing to abandon their families and become 'craftsmen who don't grow crops'? The other day, Zhang Qing wanted to hire people to raise pigs, but even offering two bushels of rice, no one would come." These words were like a block of ice thrown into boiling soup, and the whole table fell silent. Zhang Qing was picking his teeth with a toothpick when he heard this. He threw the toothpick away, his mind racing like an abacus: "Uncle, you've hit the nail on the head! In my opinion, it would be better to pay them grain and hire people—the people from Lijiazhuang are easy to talk to; give them enough coarse rice, and they'll definitely come. It's just Zhujiazhuang…" He rolled his eyes, "Although they're rivals, which farmer doesn't need grain? We'll pay them by the day, one shi of rice for a month's work, I'm not afraid no one will be interested. Last time I went to Fan County to sell soap, I saw the tenants from Zhujiazhuang so hungry they were gnawing on tree bark." "No good." Qiu Shixiong shook his head vigorously, his white beard fluttering, "The farmers in Zhujiazhuang have signed tenant contracts with the village head. Hiring their people is like digging up their roots. That old fox Zhu Chaofeng will definitely turn on you immediately. Last year, his nephew, because a neighboring village hired two of his farmhands, actually led a group of people to uproot their vegetable garden." Wu Song suddenly thudded. He put down his wine cup, his eyebrows raised so high they could hold the wine jug: "In my opinion, those thousand-plus bandits from Liangshan are readily available laborers. Capture them to work, both eliminating a menace and adding manpower—consider it 'redemption through merit,' better than having their heads chopped off. Last time I was in Yuncheng prison, I saw the jailers making prisoners smash stones, and they worked harder than anyone else." This former head constable spoke of the ingenious use of "labor reform prisoners," his eyes gleaming with the shrewdness of an interrogation, like a jailer who had discovered a new instrument of torture. Lu Zhishen, growing impatient, slammed his staff on the ground, sending three dust particles falling from the roof: "Who cares about Zhu Family Village or Liangshan! Let's go to the prefectures and counties to recruit refugees! These days, exorbitant taxes and that damned tribute of rare stones are forcing people to flee their homes. If we give them food and a piece of land, are we afraid no one will come? Last time I saw an old scholar outside Jizhou Prefecture, so hungry he was eating clay. I told him to come with me if he got some food, and he immediately kowtowed three times, saying he wanted to erect a monument and write a biography for us!" Wang Yifan, listening to the cacophony of voices, had long since forgotten his worries. He picked up the wine jar and filled his cup, the liquid shimmering in the sunlight. "Everyone's points are valid. Let's string these methods together—Brother Lu recruiting refugees is 'opening up new sources,' Brother Wu targeting Liangshan is 'transformation,' Zhang Qing's short-term labor is 'flexible employment'..." "What's flexible employment?" Liu Tang interjected sheepishly, a piece of mutton still stuck to his red hair. Wang Yifan choked for a moment, then quickly corrected himself: "It means working short-term, paid by the day, like betting at a casino—you win and you leave, no fuss." Chao Gai nodded in agreement; it seemed the casino analogy appealed more to the bandits. He turned to look at Lin Chong, who was staring blankly at his wine cup, the scar on his brow bone gleaming in the lamplight. He softened his tone: "Instructor Lin, please rest and recover. I've sent the inn's staff to Tokyo to inquire about your sister-in-law's whereabouts. Bring her to Hu Family Village as soon as there's any news—our tofu pudding here is better than in Tokyo, with double the gravy." Lin Chong's hand holding the wine cup trembled violently, spilling wine between his fingers. When he looked up, his eyes were red. He stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply, his voice hoarse as if sanded: "I will remember your kindness, Mr. Wang… If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my utmost." "Of course, of course." Wang Yifan waved his hand, then suddenly remembered something, "That girl Zi Liuyun has made a new ointment, specifically for burn scars. She says if you apply it for half a year, it will be smoother than Lu Zhishen's face—of course, referring to the areas without beards." This remark caused everyone at the table to burst into laughter. Lu Zhishen stroked his beard and shouted, "What's wrong with my face? Last year when I was fighting the tiger, even the tiger praised my face for its smooth texture!" Hearing Wang Yifan mention her, Zi Liuyun, who had hurriedly entered with a medicine jar, was so startled by Lu Zhishen's laughter that she almost dropped the jar. She stubbornly retorted, "If the ointment gets rubbed off, there's no way to fix it." Seeing the lively atmosphere, Wang Yifan raised his wine cup and slammed it on the table, splashing wine high into the air: "Once the cement walls are erected and the chimneys of the workshops are smoking, our Hu Family Village will be the ironclad camp of Dulonggang! At that time, not to mention Liangshan and Zhu Family Village, even the imperial court will have to think twice—our local militia are good at fighting, we can build walls with cement, and even our soap smells better than anywhere else. Everyone who comes will have to pay us 'toll'!" At this point, he suddenly turned to look at Chao Gai, his eyes shining like the tip of a spear that had just been tempered: "Chao Gai, are you interested in coming to Liangshan and taking the top seat?" As soon as he said this, the whole table fell silent; you could hear a pin drop. Chao Gai's wine cup clattered onto the table, spilling wine all over his pants without him noticing. He stood there, mouth agape, looking as if someone had shoved an egg into his throat: "What... What did you say, Lord Wang? You want me to go to Liangshan and sit in the top seat? What about Wang Lun..." "Who does Wang Lun think he is?" Wang Yifan scoffed. "His capacity is so small, he can't even tolerate a needle's tip. He wants to be a mountain king? If you go, we'll back you up and turn Liangshan into a 'revolutionary base'—oh no, I mean a 'Hall of Heroes'! We can rob the rich to help the poor, drink from big bowls and eat big chunks of meat. Isn't that better than hiding like this?" Gongsun Sheng stroked his beard beside him, his fan snapping open and closing: "Lord Wang's words make sense. If Chao Tianwang can take over Liangshan, we can also openly..." "Openly rob the birthday gifts?" Bai Sheng, quick-witted and eloquent, was glared at by Chao Gai and quickly retreated to gnaw on his chicken feet. Chao Gai rubbed his hands, his face flushed red, as if he had just drunk three jars of strong liquor: "This... This matter needs careful consideration... But since you say so, I'll go back and discuss it with the brothers—last time we robbed the birthday gifts, we were looking for a safe place to settle down..." Wang Yifan looked at the light in his eyes and chuckled inwardly: it seems this "poaching" plan has a chance. He raised his cup, the wine shimmering in the glass: "Come on, bottoms up! Forget about Liangshan and Zhu Family Village, let's get this 'Great Leap Forward' going—remember this phrase, from now on our Hu Family Village's slogan will be: one day a change, ten days a complete transformation, by the end of the year we'll become the model village of Dulonggang!" The moonlight from outside the window shone into the room, casting long shadows of everyone at the table. Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were playing rock-paper-scissors, their voices so loud they could startle owls in the trees; Zhang Qing was telling Lin Chong a funny story about selling soap, how an old scholar bought a bar of osmanthus soap and carried it around as a sachet every day; Qiu Shixiong was marking dimensions for the city walls on blueprints under the lamplight, his pen scratching across the paper. Wang Yifan, watching this group of eager heroes, suddenly realized that this "Great Leap Forward" wasn't some arduous task at all—it was clearly turning the scattered sparks of war into a raging fire. He pulled out a lost chili pepper poster from his pocket; the bright red berries drawn on it were particularly eye-catching in the moonlight. He thought to himself: Once we find the chili peppers, we'll have another "Food Leap Forward," letting these heroes taste what true "fiery activity" really means.
