Chapter 68
There are a lot of messy things in the newly moved house, although there are a few help from An Le, it is still delayed until the fourth day, and Lin Zimo is free to go out. For convenience, the previous method was used again, and the skin was changed to black and yellow.
instructed An Le to take care of the little master, took Xiao Yan and Han Qi, and the four guards assigned to him by Zhu Rui went out, and just after leaving his second house, a simple female voice came: "Hello, you are the new master's house, right?" Lin Zimo turned around and saw a middle-aged woman who was not tall, standing there with a load of firewood, her black and red face sunburned by the sun, and her round apple face, looking hearty and atmospheric. He was wearing a patched shirt and pants, and he looked very strong.
"Who is this sister-in-law?" Isn't it a servant of the doorman? But it doesn't look like a greeting look. The woman put down the burden, took out a handful of weeds from the firewood in the burden, completed a simple grass nest in three or two, poured out half of the mountain peaches from the cloth bag she carried with her, and handed it over: "I am the wife of Zheng Cheng of the county, and I will be a neighbor in the future. "Yesterday, the grandfather's family gave her a lot of meat, so she didn't know how to thank her, just when Lin Zimo went out, she happened to pick some peaches, although it was a light gift, it was also a courtesy.
Lin Zimo was stunned, and looked at her carefully, this Mrs. Zheng is a day away from Mrs. Zheng yesterday! took the peach in her hand, handed it to An Le, and asked, "It turned out to be Sister-in-law Zheng, forgive me for taking the liberty of it, there was also a Mrs. Zheng who came out yesterday, is she?" "I don't understand, there is a Mrs. Zheng today, and a sister-in-law Zheng tomorrow, it's too messy.
The woman blushed: "Don't hide it from the son, yesterday it was probably the flat wife Li who married the husband, and I am the husband and the wife Zhang." Lin Zimo was taken aback, no matter how you look at it, this one doesn't look like a wife, the one yesterday looked pampered and wearing satin clothes. Look at this one, the cheesecloth clothes are still patched, and then look at the firewood she picked up, shake her head, she is a newcomer, and she doesn't understand the world.
It's not good to inquire about other people's private affairs, so I nodded: "Thank you, Madame, for the peach, we still have something to do, let's go first." With that, he walked out of the second gate with a few people.
Out of the county seat, there are sheep intestine trails everywhere, and you can't get through a carriage. If you ignore the sad faces that pass by from time to time, the scenery here is really beautiful. There are mountains that can not be seen at a glance, there is a piece of green everywhere, stepping on the stone path forward, from time to time you can see strange rocks and strange mountains, and occasionally come to the sound of animals, a good natural scenery.
Lin Zimo carefully observed the surroundings, half-human-tall thatched grass and low shrubs were everywhere, and unknown bushes and some trees were hung with green fruits. While walking and pondering, gradually go deep into the jungle, not far away often run a rabbit or pheasant, Lin Zimo's eyes are bright, backed by the mountains, weeds and young leaves are, the development of breeding industry should be good, such as the rabbit that ran in front of you, rabbit meat can be eaten, rabbit skin is a very tight leather goods, because the price is cheap and good, the average person can afford it, think about it is very marketable.
Stretching from rabbits to goats, lamb is also in short supply, and sheepskin is cheap and practical, and clothes and boots are used. And these two animals, as long as they can keep up with sanitation and disinfection, according to the experience of his pig farm, it should not be difficult to breed.
After a little more walking into the forest, there was no path, and two sergeants opened the way with scythes in front of them. Although Lin Zimo also exercises regularly, the places where he lives are all plains, and it is gradually difficult to walk on such a steep mountain road. And he has no experience in walking mountain roads, he wears a light green gauze robe, which is beautiful, but it is very difficult to walk on the mountain road, and he has to prevent mosquitoes from burrowing into the wide sleeves of the robe, which is even more tiring.
A sergeant who was wielding a sickle in front of him said: "Childe, if you go down again, it will be deep in the mountains, we came out in a hurry, and the preparation is not sufficient, do you think you will go here first?" Lin Zimo stipulates that in order not to reveal his identity, now everyone will call him son, here, Zhu Rui is only a magistrate, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to keep a low profile.
Raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat, Lin Zimo was also stunned: "It's okay, let's come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
Just about to turn around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar emerald green thing in the corner of his eye, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough, there was a piece of emerald green bamboo in the southwest corner, which was fluttering in the wind. Lin Zimo is happy, this is a good thing, in the past few years, I have found a lot of places, in summer, it is generally a kind of grass mat, and there is basically no bamboo mat, which made him disappointed for a long time.
Bamboo mats have always been a good summer supplies and are very popular among the general public. In the present when there is not an air-conditioner fan, it is an indispensable thing.
Lin Zimo couldn't get tired. Immediately turned around and walked in that direction: "Look at that bamboo forest." Of course, everyone had no opinion, Xiao Yan helped him and walked over together.
This is a typical green bamboo, with a green body, which is cool to the touch. Watching him circle around the green bamboo, an accompanying sergeant said: "Childe, we have been stationed on the other side of the mountain these days, and there is not only this kind of bamboo over there, but also a kind called Xiangfei bamboo." In fact, he didn't understand the Tao inside, but I heard that rich people like Xiangfei bamboo, and presumably Wang Jun is the same.
Sure enough, Lin Zimo was overjoyed, with Xiangfei Bamboo, the grade of the mat immediately went up. The reputation of Xiangfei Bamboo, if it is really made into a finished product, it will definitely sell well.
cut a bundle of green bamboo, and a group of people went down the mountain together. Walking into the city, looking at these well-dressed people, carrying so many bamboos, everyone looked curiously, and when they were about to arrive at the county office, an old man selling things on the side of the road attracted Lin Zimo's attention.
He stepped forward and squatted down, and in front of the old man were large and small rattan products. From large baskets, baskets, and boxes to jewelry boxes that hold things, they are dazzling and exquisite. Seeing Lin Zimo squatting down, the old man guarding the stall had his eyes lit up, and a flattering smile appeared on his thin face: "This son, what do you want to buy?" Little Lao'er is not boasting, my things are extremely delicate and durable. ”
Lin Zimo is very strange, this old man speaks quite elegantly, as if he has seen the world: "Uncle, let me ask, do these things cost a lot?" Are there many rattans on the mountain? If you use bamboo blank weaving, can you also weave such a delicate thing? "Although there is a concept, he still belongs to theoretical experience, practical operation, and must be a professional.
The old man immediately raised his vigilance: "What do you want to do?" These things are things that little old people can make ends meet. The guards who followed next to him were impatient and shouted: "You old man, the son asked you to promote you, and if you are not honest, you will be beaten." The old man was startled and glared at them with a stubbornness on his face.
Lin Zimo hurriedly stopped the sergeant, and said with a pleasant face: "Uncle, I won't ask for your craftsmanship in vain, of course I will pay you a satisfactory price." Look at the poverty in this county, I want to think of a way out for the common people. The old man's face was full of astonishment: "Are you saying that you are giving the people a way out?" ”
Lin Zimo nodded: "My brother is the new county official, and he has always been worried about changing the livelihood of the people in Yanshan County. The old man knelt down suddenly: "Lord Qingtian, if you can really change the lives of the people, the little old man is willing to sacrifice his skills." Lin Zimo hurriedly helped him up: In this way, Uncle Lao went to the county government to discuss. ”
Zhu Rui and Master Wang are in the second hall, there is no case in Yanshan County now, and the idle two can only read Zhu Rui's report on another errand.
Listening to Lin Zimo's words, the two were overjoyed. Zhu Rui always knew that his lover was very capable, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, and after only a few days here, he found a way to change the lives of ordinary people.
After several discussions, the old man surnamed Xing, according to Lin Zimo's guidance, also made up various patterns of bamboo mats, drawing inferences from one another, which was not much worse than modern craftsmanship. Later, I learned that this old man Xing had been in a well-known rattan weaving workshop outside, because the new owner wanted to install his own people, he quit their group of people, and when he was old, he returned to his hometown.
What is lacking now is the type of technical work, Uncle Xing patted his chest: "Don't worry, son, my old buddies are all people from the neighborhood, the farthest is the neighboring county, I will find someone to carry the letter when I go back, our group of talents will come in less than a month, and most of us have not found something to do." ”
Zhu Rui and Lin Zimo were overjoyed, and Lin Zimo said: "This piece will be handed over to Uncle Xing, in addition to the salary, I will also give you a commission of one percent." "You can't let people donate their technology for nothing, it's one percent, and if you sell it, it will be a lot of income.
As for the breeding industry that Lin Zimo said, Uncle Xing also came up with an idea: "The most important thing in Yanshan County is people, many elderly people have basically raised things, and it must not be difficult to find someone who understands the Tao." Zhu Rui said: "In this way, I will assign you a few errands, and you will support them to find people everywhere." ”
When there was no one, Zhu Rui said again: "Now that things have an eyebrow, but there is still one thing that can't be done." Lin Zimo took a sip of tea: "Is it a problem of road construction?" Zhu Rui nodded: "These things are made, and it is also a problem that they can't be shipped." "If you want to get rich, build roads first, this is the slogan of later generations.
Lin Zimo has already considered this problem, there is no shortage of gunpowder in this world, but it is used by people to make fireworks and firecrackers.
Around Yanshan County, there is a shortage of other things, that is, there is no shortage of stones, if gunpowder is used here, stones, stones, etc., the raw materials for road construction will be available. The embarrassment now is that if the gunpowder is brought out, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful, and Lin Zimo really doesn't want to see gunpowder smoke everywhere.
Walked around the hall a few times, frowning deeply. Zhu Rui knew that he was difficult to choose, so he didn't bother him, and sat there quietly drinking tea, he believed that Zimo would make his own decision.
After turning around a few times, Lin Zimo asked Zhu Rui: "If there is something that might cause more people to die in the war, what would you do?" Zhu Rui was stunned for a moment, sat up, thought for a while, and said: "If this thing comes out sooner or later, it is better for us to hold it in our hands, at least we can protect the people of the dynasty." ”
Lin Zimo suddenly brightened: "Yes, even if he doesn't get it out, this will come out sooner or later, instead of waiting for others to learn and return to fight himself, it is better to build it now and explore it slowly, maybe in this world, there will never be people and things that can restrain him in the future."
