A noble son from a poor family

During the banquet, the eldest brother and the iron master talked about the promotion of the ten masters, but unfortunately, this time the fight against bandits was mainly due to fire and thunder, as well as team cooperation, and there were very few outstanding individual performances, so they were not good at how to nominate them. Chu Yunhao gave the decision to themselves, and asked them to choose the best in their future training and performance.

Then, everyone chatted with Hu Tianhai, and somehow talked about Baishi Village, chatting and chatting, the eldest brother looked envious, and said that it would be good if Baishi Village could be demolished. Chu Yunhao's heart is hot, there is also more than a mile of horizontal and vertical land in Baishi Village, if you build a small city of one mile horizontally and vertically, then it will become a corner with Anjiazhai and support each other, this safety factor will be much higher, so thinking about it, Chu Yunhao immediately agreed, and asked his uncle to go to the treasury tomorrow to pay the silver, and the demolition of Baishi Village will be handed over to him, isn't it demolition, demolition, how can it be developed without demolition! As for the money, anyway, he has it now.

When it comes to the matter of money, it can be done by the soldiers of the city lord's mansion to go back, and he can't let the family keep the money here for him, but now that there is a village protection team, this kind of thing is left to them to do. It's just that Anjiazhai has to be demolished as a whole, and the next step is the overall planning.

As for the eldest brother's marriage, I will not press the table for the time being, so ten days have passed, on this day, Chu Yunhao sat on the recliner in front of his house, holding Xiao Yun'er on his body, and looked at the Tongjiang River not far away, on the Tongjiang River, from time to time, there are boats full of red bricks and tiles going down the river, or empty boats going up the river, these are all boats that pull red bricks and tiles for Anjiazhai, there are boats from the five brothers-in-law's boat gang, and there are also many ships that are delivered by other people's brick kilns。 As for Anjiazhai's own brick kiln, the first kiln bricks have begun to burn, and when their own bricks are fired, they can respond to emergencies.

Boom boom... , Xiao Yun'er immediately covered her ears and muttered in a milky voice: Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, thunder again, afraid, afraid. Xiao Yun'er said, rubbing her little head straight into her arms.

Chu Yunhao tricked out a few sugar gourds, okay, okay, don't be afraid, eat sugar and eat sugar. Chu Yunhao smiled and shook his head, this little guy loves candy, but he didn't dare to give her more food, for fear that she would eat her teeth badly, only when the village was putting explosives to open the mountain and quarry, he would give a few teases and comfort her.

On a whim, Chu Yunhao wanted to go to Baishi Village to see how they were demolished, so he called Su Xiaoxiao, Li Ling'er, and the three of them went to see together, when Xiao Yun'er was handed over to his mother-in-law, this little guy made a fuss, and refused to say anything, and said that he wanted to play with his brother-in-law, two or three years old, it was the age when dogs were disgusted, no way, Chu Yunhao had to carry Xiao Yun'er on his back, followed by a few guards far behind. For these guards, Chu Yunhao originally explained that he didn't have to follow in the village, but Senior Brother Tie disagreed, and said that he would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, and the main line would not follow the guards, which was not in line with the rules, eh, his generals would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, and he was too lazy to say more to them, what is the love, love to follow, Chu Yunhao established the personal guards, thinking about protecting him outside, and now walking around the village has become his tail, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

All the way into the village, I feel that there are construction sites everywhere, demolishing houses, transporting bricks and tiles, quarrying mountain stones, raising brick houses, and laying the foundation of the city wall, which is lively and lively.

Uncle Abu, the foundation of this city wall, you must dig to the ground, don't be afraid of the cost of stones, if the ground is hard, dig down three feet, if the ground is soft, dig at least five feet deep, and the rammed earth in the middle, every foot of soil added, you must use oxen to pull the stone to tamp it, slow down, not afraid, take your time.

Second Brother Li, when opening the mountain and releasing mines, you must pay attention to safety, and you must wear this helmet on your head. The helmet is woven of rattan, no worse than the helmet on the construction site of the earth in the previous life, but the safety awareness of the villagers is still too weak, no matter what he says, they just don't want to wear it, which may be related to the general environmental cognition in this era.

Brother Chu, a lot of spinning wheels and looms have been built, do you want to go over and have a look?

No, I have to be busy with other things, and I will work hard for Brother Tang during this time, and I will definitely give you a bonus then.

That's embarrassing.

Yes, yes.

Xiaoliu, now the young and strong laborers of Hexiang Village have been recruited to work, but it is still not enough, you see, if you don't ask the Township Warrior Regiment not to train any military formation, it is important to work first.

The village chief, the young and strong labor is not enough, and the women also hold up half the sky, they can all be recruited and used, and the half-grown children can also do things, and the same wages are given, and five copper plates are given a day, as for the children, pregnant women, and the elderly, they can be arranged to take care of them together, so that everyone has no worries

Township Yongtuan, that is to protect everyone's safety, how can you slack off, Chu Yunhao shook his head.

Xiaoliu, this money is spent like a stream, you have to have a bottom in your heart, up to now, not to mention what you spent before, the silver that has flowed out of my hands these days is almost two or three thousand taels.

Don't be afraid, in two days, I will ask the fourth brother-in-law to transport another batch of silver back, and you only need to arrange the production.

After passing through the threshing floor, watching everyone practice the military formation for a while, Chu Yunhao was not very good at this, and he couldn't guide him, so he chatted with his eldest brother and Tie Master for a few words and went to Baishi Village.

Hearing that Chu Yunhao was going to Baishi Village, the eldest brother threw the matter of training the military formation to the ten commanders below, and he went over with them.

When he arrived at Baishi Village, he saw the white stones on the hillside of the village, Chu Yunhao was very curious to study it, smashed the stone open to see the texture, and tried to smash the gravel into powder.

Limestone, which is the main raw material for making cement, is also the main raw material for making glass, and is also an important raw material for removing impurities to obtain good steel when making iron. In short, he came to this world, then this limestone is a treasure all over the body, and with limestone, cement workshop, glass workshop, then it can be developed.

He is worried that the brick house can not be built very high, a little sorry for the value of his demolition and repair of the city wall, now well, with this limestone, that is, with cement, with cement, as long as the foundation is solid enough, even if there is no steel bar, only the cement brick concrete structure can also be used to build four or five floors, so that there is a lot of available land. The most important thing is that with cement, it is much more convenient to build the city wall, not only the gaps can be filled, but the irregular gravel can also be glued together, and the material utilization, solidity, flatness, and safety will all go up a level.

The manufacture of cement is not difficult, as long as the limestone is crushed and crushed into powder, and then a certain proportion of clay and gypsum are added, and the mature material can be burned in the kiln. Clay and gypsum are all things that are easy to obtain and are not expensive to buy. It is not difficult to calcinate, there is coal, it does not matter whether the quality of the coal is good or bad, as long as the calcination temperature reaches more than 800 degrees. It's a bit difficult to smash, but it's a little difficult to use the lever principle to make a few large pendulum hammers, cast a few iron buckets with fine iron, and then use cast iron to build a simple grinder pulled by animal force, which is not a big problem, but the output is outrageously low compared with the industrial civilization of the previous life. Chu Yunhao estimated that in this way, he would produce tens of thousands of catties at most in a day, and he should be barely enough to save some money on his side.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chu Yunhao summoned his eldest brother-in-law and the steward of the stonemason to come over for a meeting to discuss the construction of the cement workshop, saying that it was a discussion, but in fact, Chu Yunhao was talking throughout the whole process, he not only had to explain the cement manufacturing process, but also explained the manufacture of large pendulums and the manufacture of simple grinding machines. In the end, Chu Yunhao decided that because of the importance of cement, he decided to build ten large pendulums and three simple grinders, which were estimated to use tens of thousands of catties of fine iron for casting, which was a big job for the ironsmithing workshop. Looking at the eldest brother-in-law's sad face, Chu Yunhao authorized him to recruit troops and horses, expanding the eight people in the blacksmith to twenty, as for where the eldest brother-in-law recruits people, that is his business, anyway, now for the sake of confidentiality, the eldest brother-in-law is several brothers are all in battle, and the two sons are now members of the blacksmithing.

Coming back from Baishi Village, Chu Yunhao has been very excited, this Baishi Village is really a big treasure!

Zhao Mingyue left, the first batch of soap has been manufactured, after Zhao Mingyue tried it, she called the soap really a Pokémon, Zhao Mingyue was very satisfied, she wanted to go back to preside over the sale in person.

Dinner at night, because of the matter in Baishi Village, Chu Yunhao drank a few more glasses of wine, the wine of this era is rice wine, after fermentation, the wine residue is sifted out, the taste is sweet and silky, the more you drink, the better it is, the more you drink, the more you can drink, Chu Yunhao's mouth is slippery for a while, and he can't control his mouth at all. Cai Xiuxiu drank an amazing amount of alcohol, walking with him cup after glass, her eyes became brighter and brighter the more she drank, and the indescribable expression in her eyes became stronger and stronger. If Chu Yunhao just drank it himself, he might be able to stop, and there are people fighting wine, and the interest can be imagined. In short, how much wine he drank in the end, Chu Yunhao doesn't remember, how he went back to his room to sleep, he doesn't remember, he just woke up in the morning, and he and several daughters-in-law were honest with each other. After drinking too much wine, his head hurt a little, Chu Yunhao pressed his forehead, and last night's scenes flashed, Chu Yunhao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's beautiful, it's really beautiful. Maybe this is the frivolity of youth, wanton youth, hey, headache, I can't get up this morning.
