Sun Lu left the capital, almost sleeplessly, a few whips along the way, and in two days, he came to Xingshan Village.

Leng Xiaoxi was naturally surprised when he saw Sun Lu, who was in the dust.

"Why are you here, what's going on at home?"

"There is nothing big in the family, that is, Mrs. Xiao has passed away. ”

"Old Madam Xiao is gone?" Leng Xiaoxi was surprised.

I have to say that Xingshan Village is closed, and the news of Mrs. Xiao's death, if it weren't for Sun Lu, she really didn't know.

Lowering her eyes, Leng Xiaoxi sighed, although Old Madam Xiao initially looked down on her identity and thought that she was not worthy of Ji Boming.

But in any case, Mrs. Xiao was also the person who helped them the most in the beginning.

At the beginning, if it weren't for Old Madam Xiao's generous help, she Leng Xiaoxi was afraid that she would not have made a fortune so quickly.

"Xiaoxi, don't be too sad, although Mrs. Xiao is gone, but the place where she left is called a scenery, and the queen mother personally dressed her in linen and filial piety!" When Sun Lu said this, his eyes were shining.

Why is the queen like this, Leng Xiaoxi doesn't know the reason, and she is not interested in knowing, that is not something she should worry about.

"Sister-in-law, the Xiao family went to the capital for the funeral, and the emperor left their family to live for a few days, so Brother Boming took their family to the Zhenjun Mansion......

Sun Luzhiwu's appearance made Leng Xiaoxi suddenly understand the purpose of Sun Lu's trip.

At the beginning, Xiao Yan, the eldest granddaughter of Mrs. Xiao, at the instigation of Mrs. Xiao, had a soft spot for Ji Boming.

Now, Ji Boming is in an important position, his identity is prominent, and Xiao Yan lives in the Zhenjun Mansion again, Leng Xiaoxi can imagine some things.

"Did your eldest brother Boming ask you to pick me up?" Leng Xiaoxi told the truth in one sentence, making Sun Lu laugh.

"Sister-in-law, are you done here? If you're done, we'll leave tomorrow. ”

Leng Xiaoxi heard that Sun Lu was so anxious, thinking, Ji Boming and Xiao Yan live together, living without embarrassment or embarrassment, presumably this day is not easy.

"Okay, I'll arrange it and see if I can get out. ”

The reason why Leng Xiaoxi said this was because since Ji Boming left home, there was another big incident at home.

What's going on at home, here, we have to explain it burdensomely.

The day after Ji Boming left......

Leng Xiaoxi led the workers, and after drying too many skins, he went to the mountains in person, and finally found plants that could be used as dyes.

The dyed plant was found, but in order to make the dyed color firm and not fade, she thought that modern dyes needed to add some stabilizers.

And the refining of this stabilizer is in an ore, or even a red earth.

Leng Xiaoxi had the attitude of giving it a try, thinking about whether she could find it on the mountain.

Before she knew it, she had climbed over two mountains and came to a deserted and untouched place, where she patronized in search of the dirt and ore she needed.

But by chance, she found a large natural coal mine that floated on the surface of the ground and could be seen.

Such a discovery naturally made Leng Xiaoxi overjoyed.

Coal mine is a resource, whether there is coal in ancient times, Leng Xiaoxi has no way to verify, anyway, since she crossed over, he has never seen anyone use such a thing as coal.

The things used by the villagers for cooking, and even for heating in the capital, the countryside is discarded straw and branches on the mountain.

The conditions in the capital are slightly better, and they are just pieces of wood that have been cut into sections.

Therefore, Leng Xiaoxi's discovery made her overjoyed, God really favored her Leng Xiaoxi, and it was really wealth that always favored hard-working people.

Later, not far from the coal mine, Leng Xiaoxi finally found the red soil she needed, she dug up some soil with a shovel, put it in the back basket behind her, and carried it back.

Bringing in the stream, soaking in the red clay, and finally she extracted the elements she wanted from the water.

Then, Leng Xiaoxi led people to the place where the red clay was taken, and a large amount of red clay was transported back.

Therefore, Leng Xiaoxi started to use the elements extracted from the red clay to fuse with the collected plants, and she finally developed dyes of different colors, and after many experiments, she finally mastered the skills of dyeing.

Then, she taught everyone how to color the leather, how to soak it, flip it, don't dye the leather, and a series of other things.

Leng Xiaoxi wants to develop the coal mine as soon as possible, she wants to benefit the people at the same time, but also add wealth to her.

She began to recruit people on a large scale, and this time the recruitment was different from the past, she was more demanding, and the salary was double that of the previous workers.

Because digging coal is heavy physical labor, therefore, the poster on which she recruited people is written, one day of work, the salary is 20 yuan, the settlement at the end of the month, including food, if someone does not want to go home, they can also be covered.

You can make 20 wen a day, what good news this is, people are boiling, and the strong laborers from afar, several villages apart, have come and signed up enthusiastically.

However, this recruitment, Leng Xiaoxi personally supervised and audited, and the person she was looking for was not only to be physically strong, but also to be smart.

Because digging coal is not only a heavy physical job, but also requires human resourcefulness, although the coal mine she found is open-pit mining, she can't guarantee whether it will be developed underground.

In modern times, there are too many bloody things in coal mines, and here is ancient times, and all the equipment is not as good as modern cash, although she will think of a lot of dangers in every way to avoid dangers, but she also wants to ask that the workers who dig coal must be clever.

The news that Leng Xiaoxi, a capable woman, was going to recruit people again quickly spread, and it spread far and wide, and the news naturally spread to Leng Jia Village.

The long-term workers of the cold landlord's family immediately became excited when they heard this message.

You must know that if you work in a cold landlord's house for a year, at the end of the year, you will only be able to share the family, and the food you eat for half a year and the silver you can get all year round are only more than one or two.

What can one or two pieces of silver do, not even a year's worth of oil and salt is enough.

If you want to eat oil and salt, you have to look at the chicken's butt every day, hoping that the chickens and ducks at home can lay more eggs, so that they can get some oil and salt in the market to come back.

The clothes on the children's bodies, that is really all year round, the new cloth can not be put on, often the big children wear small clothes, for the small ones to wear, the small ones wear out, in the change of underwear, underwear can not be worn, and have to use paste to glue the rags together, hang on the wall and wait for drying, for the children to make the soles of shoes.

Who would have thought of such a day, that day was hard.

There is a capable person Leng Xiaoxi in Xingshan Village, the people in Xingshan Village are very rich, and the people who came out of Xingshan Village to catch the market, the one who is not refreshing is waving a whip and driving a carriage, and they are all wearing unpatched clothes.

I heard that the people of Xingshan Village have refined white rice and white noodles at every meal, and meat is eaten at the dinner table.

Moreover, what makes the people of Lengjia Village unconvinced is that this Xiaoxi is still a person from their Lengjia Village, and the people of Lengjia Village have long been looking forward to the opportunity to go to Xingshan Village and work under Leng Xiaoxi.

A day's salary is twenty wen, and this month is six taels of silver, what is the concept of six taels, it is almost a strong laborer, and it can only be earned in six years.

Therefore, in Lengjia Village, those long-term workers who worked in Leng Dadong's house went to Leng Xiaolin to quit their jobs one after another, and they all came to Leng Xiaoxi's side to work.

At this time, Leng Dada, that is, Leng Xiaoxi's grandfather, and Leng Xiaoxi's uncle Leng Dekui were dumbfounded.

You must know that Leng Da Da has a lot of land, and almost the entire land of Leng Jia Village is in the hands of Leng Xiaolin.

If this long-term work is gone, then the land of the Leng family will be deserted, and those few pampered people of the Leng family, who can work in the field?

At this time, Leng Xiaolin and Leng Dekui were really panicked and angry.

Leng Xiaoxi here doesn't care about those, but she wants all the strong and shrewd men who come to her side.

Besides, she didn't know the long-term workers of the Leng family, and in less than two days, the quota of 200 miners was all filled.

On the second day of recruitment, Leng Xiaoxi asked those people to go to the mountains and cut down the thorns of many young and old, and a large number of baskets were needed to dig coal.

The cooked leather factory and the workers digging coal were very busy, and Leng Xiaoxi was in the blacksmith shop in Nanqiu Town, and he hadn't gone back yet.

Blacksmith shop, Leng Xiaoxi drew the picture again, and handed it to the blacksmith master, she wanted to make the rails used to dig coal, hangers, hanging baskets and other things used to dig coal.

"Master, can you see this picture clearly?" The blacksmith master and Leng Xiaoxi are also acquaintances, and the stoves for the kebabs before were all from this blacksmith master.

Now, Leng Xiaoxi is a well-known figure again, and the blacksmith master has a high opinion of Leng Xiaoxi, and it is not strange to mention her to draw pictures, and he is used to it.

"What's the use of this cu and long iron bar?" The blacksmith master was puzzled by the railroad tracks drawn in Leng Xiaoxi's drawings.

"Master, this thing is called a railroad track, which is used to dig coal. ”

The railroad tracks, digging coal, the blacksmith master heard it in a fog, Leng Xiaoxi saw the blacksmith master's confusion, and thought to himself, even if he wears out his mouth now, if he says it, the blacksmith master will not understand.

"Master, when you look like this, you will understand when you make it. ”

Leng Xiaoxi turned his head as he spoke, and saw the little apprentice of the blacksmith master, filling a large piece of wood into the blacksmith furnace, and then he was sweating, and he opened his arms again, pulling the whirring bellows vigorously.

"Master, when the coal I dug comes out, you won't need to burn firewood in the future, burning coal is more powerful than this firewood, and it can save a lot of energy, let alone be so troublesome. ”

"Is that right? The media you said is really so good, no wonder the notice you posted has so much salary for recruiting workers. ”

Leng Xiaoxi was talking to the blacksmith master, and Zhang Qiang, who came with Leng Xiaoxi, ran in from outside in a panic, panting and said to Leng Xiaoxi.

"Madam, no, I heard from someone from Xingshan Village that your house was smashed. ”
