Once the meeting was over, Huang An began to assign tasks in a tight-knit and comprehensive manner.
The first task was to clean up and renovate the vast area in which they lived.
Short of tools?
Simple, borrow some first!
The impressive force of two hundred men, under the leadership of their respective headmen, each had their specific tasks.
Some were in charge of removing waste, others filled in the soil pits, some others dug trenches to drain dirty water, yet others went to the slope on the other side to transport stone slabs and lay them down, and some dug deep soil pits to build thatched toilets...
This massive clean-up and road construction continued until half past six in the evening, when it was getting dark, and they stopped working.
They estimated that it would be pitch-black within an hour, and it was time for them to rest and have dinner.
