In the next few days, the people of the lower village were as busy as chickens.

Fu Xiaoguan was not idle, he went to the back mountain of the West Mountain, checked the terrain of that place and made some arrangements.

It is required to build a large simple wooden shed in an open field to pile up the quarried limestone, to build some temporary shelters on the mountainside, to arrange more than a dozen guards to be stationed here, and also to level out the land by the river, where a cement workshop will be built in the future.

The road into the mountain is a sheep's intestine trail, which is definitely not good, and the stone mill and stone mill cannot be transported in, so he arranged for someone to build the road.

The story of what the young master of the Fu family did in Xishan had already spread in the market town of Xiacun, like a boulder thrown into the calm lake, stirring up huge ripples that lasted for a long time.

"I heard that Xishan quarries for twenty dollars a day."

"Now there are people over there to build roads and build houses, fifteen yuan a day."

"Let me tell you, Tang bricklayers are also recruiting people to make bricks and kilns, and it is twenty wen a day."

"Zhou Zheng's old thing got a good errand and made a waterwheel, and the young owner drove twenty-five wen a day."

"That's technical work, can you and I do it?"

"Hey...... I saw that I couldn't earn any money, so I had to ask my mother-in-law and little girl to plant flowers. ”

"I'll sort out the work at hand, and I can go to Xishan tomorrow to build roads and houses."

"Call me, and we'll go together."

“……”

More and more people gathered in Xishan, although the tools are simple, but there are more people, and these people are really not lazy in their work, the progress is very fast, according to Fu Xiaoguan's estimates, at most another month, the main body of the cement workshop here is almost the same.

This thing can't be so delicate, he doesn't have the advanced machinery and equipment in his previous life, and the initial idea at the moment is to be able to make it and use it - the effect is definitely not up to the standard of cement in his previous life. There will definitely be a lot of wrongful paths, but as long as you do it and gradually improve in exploration, it will eventually get better and better.

Don't ignore the wisdom of working people, who may not be literate, but who have plenty of experience from life.

Fu Xiaoguan is not omnipotent, these are not his profession, his profession is murder - he almost forgot.

So Fu Xiaoguan's method is to make an outline, and then let these people toss, fully listen to their opinions, and reward them once they have a good proposal - anyway, there is a lot of money in the family, and he is very generous when he invests it in these applications.

Fu Daguan saw the white flowers flowing like water to the Xishan Courtyard, and instead of being annoyed, he was very happy. Why? Because the silver that flowed to the Xishan Courtyard was not as much as Fu Xiaoguan's pocket money in the past.

In the past, the silver was like being thrown into water and not even soaking, but now the silver has really fallen into place.

He also had the same report from the West Mountain Courtyard, although he didn't know what his son was going to do, but he inexplicably felt that his son must be doing something big.

Qi's family had a lot of complaints, but after being suppressed by Fu Daguan once, she didn't mention it again, but her belly was getting bigger, and she raised the fetus with peace of mind, waiting for her son or daughter to be born.

And so another half a month passed.

The clay thing was found, in the lake in Mirror Lake Village.

This is a girl named Du Xiaojuan found it, and it is a bit of luck to say.

Miss Du took her younger brother down to the lake to catch fish, but the naughty younger brother was playing in the water by the lake but accidentally slipped down. Du Xiaojuan plunged into the water and grabbed her brother, who was dragging a handful of mud and red mud in his hand.

Du Xiaojuan dried her brother on the ground, and the mud gradually dried out, she took it and pinched it, there was a bit of a soft and glutinous feeling, she remembered the words from Xishan, and thought to herself that this thing didn't know if it was the so-called clay that the Shaodong family wanted, anyway, this thing was red and quite sticky, so she carried her brother to the Xishan Courtyard, and Fu Xiaoguan basically confirmed that this thing was clay.

The reward for Du Xiaojuan was extremely rich, directly fifty taels of silver, and the white silver immediately stunned Du Xiaojuan, and finally Du Xiaojuan's father was notified.

Du Xiaojuan's father, Du Xing, was a fisherman and also cultivated ten acres of land. With an elderly mother and a long-term sick wife, the family had a very difficult life, because there was no other labor force except Duchenne.

A few days ago, he also came to Xishan to receive a lot of seeds, thinking that his wife could not do heavy work, so he waited for these flowers, if he could really plant them, he could also have an income when he sent them to Xishan.

No one expected that there would be clay at the bottom of Mirror Lake—some people might know, but they didn't know that the mud was what the young owner wanted.

This is fate, and the fate of the Du family has been changed in this way.

The Du family was not only rewarded with fifty taels of silver, but Fu Xiaoguan also handed over the matter of clay mining to Du Xing.

"I don't care what method you use, even if you drain the lake, you help me get the clay out below and send it to the back mountain. How many people, how many carriages, how much do you need, you go directly to Steward Zhang Ce. As for the crops in your family's ten acres of land, you have someone to collect them, and you will report how much you have spent, and all your energy will be devoted to the mining of this clay. ”

This is Fu Xiaoguan's management method, which is simple, direct and rude, but the effect is surprisingly good.

can make money, and it's so easy to earn, who doesn't want to make more.

Du Xing didn't drain the lake, he came up with a method, cofferdam, this is his business, Fu Xiaoguan didn't ask, but after hearing about it, he felt that this was wisdom.

……

It was late at night, but it didn't go away, Fu Xiaoguan sat at the desk on the second floor and pondered.

He had a charcoal pen in his hand—the brush had tormented him enough, and he was now going to sketch the workshops, which he could obviously not do with a brush, so he got a handful of charcoal and sharpened it into a pen.

There are already a few drawn pieces of paper next to the bookcase, among which there is a soap and soap workshop, a perfume workshop, an alcohol refining workshop, a paper workshop, and a three-story complex.

What he wants to paint now is the R&D center, firearms, which is his ultimate goal at the moment. The main research direction of the R&D center is around firearms.

Then there will be materials science and chemistry and all kinds of precision instruments - these things are very troublesome, and he has not yet figured out where to start.

Su Mo was also in his study, looking at those drawings at the moment, although the drawings were very ugly, but the proportions were marked everywhere, which means that even if the construction workers were illiterate, they could build the house by looking at this drawing.

Su Mo looked at Fu Xiaoguan's back, thinking about how this person could do anything?

He took out a book from his arms, threw it in front of Fu Xiaoguan, and turned to leave.

"Tiyun Zong"!
