Brother and Sister Zhao didn't stay with the village chief for long, in fact, since listening to the village chief's words, Brother Zhao was almost always in shock. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The southwest is mountainous and miasma-like, and most of them are the kind of rolling mountains, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, so the place is very large, but there are no people.

The people who came in to open up the wasteland at the beginning were all slowly advancing from the flat ground to the inside, and they had a good relationship with the officials who led the team, and those who were filial piety were enough, so they were naturally able to stop and settle down early, and most of the people in the Tang Kingdom were almost arranged in front.

Those who stayed behind, naturally, the government promised to give more money and food, and then they were willing to enter the mountains only after some power, and the further they went, the worse the conditions became.

In fact, their village, according to Zhaodi's observation, not only does it have a river, but there are also some flat places, and the reason why it will become the last batch is just because the geographical location is really a bit poor, surrounded by mountains, and the traffic problems are too poor, which makes it difficult for the village to develop.

If you count the distance in a straight line, their village should be very short from the city and the town, but all of them are blocked by mountains, so that the distance will be extended indefinitely.

It's closer to the city than to the town, but because the village doesn't belong to the city, the way to the town is along the foot of the mountain, so it's naturally much farther than going over the mountain directly from here.

Zhao Mingyuan and his younger brother are apprentices in the pottery kiln where the pottery is fired, to be honest, this craft can be said to be the most marketable within a hundred miles.

Savvy merchants initially focused on bowls, basins, tanks, jars that people desperately needed...... When the market is saturated, everyone has almost settled down, and there is money in hand to make their lives better, so they start burning some fine things.

Of course, there are some smart people who bypass these and learn others.

Zhao Mingyuan is such a smart person, as an apprentice, it just sounds better, in fact, it is equivalent to a long-term worker who works for the master for free, "teach the apprentice, starve the master", people with a little craftsmanship always cherish themselves, cover their own food money tightly, always have to test and test, and will leak from the fingers to the apprentice.

Of course, after seeing the hearts of the people for a long time, and finally passing his test, he will selectively pass on the skills to one or two disciples, and most of the people who stand out in the end are responsible for providing for the master.

Zhao Mingyuan has been gone for a relatively long time, not as long as others, but he is smart and able to endure hardships, he has a job in his heart, no matter what hard work it is, he is willing to help.

Others think about how to learn the master's skills, he helps the east and the west to help, but he quietly learns how to build a kiln, the master does not teach fine things, it doesn't matter, he learns coarse, and after understanding the process of an object from clay to utensils, he ponders that others don't value it too much, and it doesn't take much time, as long as he has the strength and doesn't need big technology, he learns it for himself first.

With a good brain, a sweet mouth, treating people and things, and willing to work hard, not afraid of losses, such a person, if he can't get out, it is simply intolerable, so he will go to the master's shop in the city to sell things so quickly.

Staying in the city is naturally well-informed, he heard a news more than ten days ago, and after carefully inquiring and confirming, he made up his mind, quit his job, and went home to discuss with the village chief.

said that it was discussed, but in fact it had already been decided, otherwise he would have cut off his back road after quitting his job, wouldn't he be able to go back with a cheeky face?

Although there are many mountains here, there are still large plains, but there are also a lot of swamps, because there were no people here at the beginning, and the scale of the natural city was not large, and the city where Zhao Di once went was the one that existed before.

But with the passage of more than ten years, with the increase in population, the environment has also been transformed a lot, and the county seat to which they belong is also settled after the people who opened up the wasteland, because there was nothing at the beginning, but some houses were built first for temporary office, but the city has not been built.

In the past few years, it was sympathetic to the people who needed time to open up the wasteland, (however, it is not okay if you are not sympathetic, you don't even have food, you can still take care of repairing the city, you are starving to death, no one is there, so what else is there?) Later, the imperial court has an idea and the plan is relatively large, so the migrant workers who serve are doing some preparatory work.

Now, the news that Zhao Mingyuan heard is that the results of the reclamation are good, the southwest side is gradually prospering, and the investment is beginning to bear fruit, and the imperial court naturally wants to consolidate its own achievements, not to mention anything else, no one looked down on the place before, but now, there is capital that people compete for, so what should be repaired, what should be equipped, should be in place.

I heard that the king of the country divided the southwest into the fief of King Yan, and allowed him to ask, let him choose the place to build the palace, I don't know what King Yan thought, but he didn't choose the city that he had already had before, and chose this place near the mountain, and the city that was not built has now directly expanded the scope by five times, and as long as the surrounding hills are not too big, they will all be leveled, which is a big project.

The mountains here are large and small, and some of the hills are not very high, and the soil quality of the mountains here is not the same, so it is suitable for planting, and the terraced fields dug out every year become a unique scenery.

Some of the mountains are clay soils that are not suitable for planting, but they are suitable for firing things, and the smaller mountains have long been flattened after taking the soil over the years. As soon as the news came out, many people thought about taking soil to burn bricks to build walls, and the place where the soil was removed was naturally leveled, and there was no need to spend time, effort and money to level it alone.

Zhao Mingyuan seized this opportunity to get a brick kiln for firing bricks and tiles, build a city, repair a house, and use more building materials, and he didn't worry about sales for several years, not to mention, now that many people have money in their hands, and they are also thinking about repairing a blue brick and tile house to pass on to their children and grandchildren, what a good way to make money!

The village chief let them come with good intentions, thinking that their family is full of children, and there is no subsidy, but they have the only cow in the village, at this time, they can come to pull soil and send bricks or something, it is a mutually beneficial thing.

Brother Zhao really admires the people at this time, there are no modern tools, all rely on the hand to resist the hoe digging have this idea, and finally understand how the foolish man in her world can have such a good idea, there is no can't do it, as long as you can't think of it!
