1.53 Lou Sang Shaojun

Soon, in the depression in the village at the corner of the official road, someone removed water and padd the soil.

The old patriarch sent Liu Bei a land coupon guaranteed by the three elders in the township and signed by rank. It can be regarded as selling this depression in the village to Liu Bei.

When they heard that they were going to be hired for work, the new subjects came to help. The depression was quickly leveled. Su Bo led people to ram earth to build walls, two courtyards, and three floors of pavilions. There is a gate in front of the hospital, and there are three floors in the courtyard. On the ground floor is a shop selling bedding. The second floor is the hall for receiving distinguished guests, and the third floor is the office space for the business manager.

Workshops are located in the backyard. The warehouse for piling hemp silk and raw cowhide, the glue room for boiling cow glue, the mill room for pressing hemp mats, the embroidery room for sewing cushion lining, and so on.

The employment voucher was also drawn up by the old patriarch.

The penalties for breach of contract are extremely severe. It's a self-protection mechanism. Since it was the old patriarch and the clan people who were worried, Liu Bei did not object.

The dormitory occupies a very wide area and has a large courtyard. Corner towers and covered roads should be built on the high walls, and the village should be young and strong, with swords and bows in hand, patrolling day and night to ensure that nothing goes wrong. The dormitory is located in the village, and if you want to fight it, you will talk about the courtyard that is under construction by the people of the sect.

Wait for the first batch of salted wood to arrive. The four walls of the dormitory will also be built.

There was no delay in construction.

The old patriarch made a register for the people, and there were nearly 1,000 households and more than 5,000 people!

Liu Bei was shocked.

It must be known that before moving in to the craftsman, there were only more than 70 households and 500 people in Lousang Village!

Excluding the old and the young, there are three thousand young and healthy women!

Don't be too well manned.

Fortunately, in the past few years, the wheat and rice in Lousang Village have been ripe, and the people of the sect have quite a surplus of grain. The new appendages came with their families to vote, and many of them also carried them. Otherwise, there would have been no food.

Liu Bei then sent a letter to Cui Jun to buy and sell grain from Cui's Grange to relieve the famine.

3,000 people built a dormitory, that's a joke. All that the young and healthy women can do is some hard work. Do simple tasks such as mud, rammed earth, lifting wood, carrying bricks, and so on. The real construction of the house is still the craftsmen led by Su Bo.

Referring to Liu Bei's clear division of labor in the production of bedding, the old craftsman asked them to complete all the civil construction in the village. Door-to-door leveling of land, stacking of materials, and expansion of courtyard walls...... The entire village of Lousang has been turned into a large construction site.

Fill in all the ravines and depressions in the neighborhood. Farmland, mulberry garden, take its excellent ones, enclose the courtyard. In this way, the houses are separated by walls. Between the walls, there are brick and stone roadways that can be used for vehicles and horses.

Build a wall first, then build a house. Open the road in the hill and build a bridge in the water.

Repair sewerage and build channels. Build the ground first, and then build the tall buildings. Qingxi, which runs through the village, is also taken care of by good students.

Liu Bei and Su Bo made changes while building. Build as you change. In this way, because the place is suitable, it is vowed to build Lousang Village into a first-class Grange Dock Fort.

Along with the mulberry garden, farmland is also enclosed into the courtyard. One side of the house of the clan became a rectangular garden. The front half of the garden is a mulberry garden, and there is a well in the middle. The second half is a paddy field, and there are ditches that can flow into the furrows on both sides. There are also corner doors on the back wall for access.

The biggest difference with the dock forts of the landlords and heroes is that Liu Bei did not blindly enclose the land and expanded his house into a dock fort. Instead, the entire Lousang Village was turned into a huge dock fort.

The official road enters from the south and exits from the east and west. The road is surrounded by walls, leaving only three exits. Between the walls, there are roadways or bridges. The village is illuminated by the oil lamps built into the double gates in front of the doors. The fork in the road and alley was firmly guarded by the archers on the watchtowers. The channels in the village are vertical and horizontal, and there are many dead ends. As soon as you hit it headlong, it's a dead word with a capital letter.

Even if they are lucky enough to escape, the surrounding paddy fields will sink their feet in the mud. He was shot one by one by the archers on the watchtower.

It seems that there is a degree of entry and exit, and it comes and goes freely. The road is not left behind, and the night is not closed. In fact, it is a Shura killing field with no return.

Liu Bei said that before he was fifteen years old, he played with the attack and defense of Wubao.

It seems that it is really not a joke.

The Han bricks were burned by themselves. Salted wood is replaced with bedding. The good craftsman is his own. Labor is new.

Everything is ready and the progress is extremely fast.

First, all the village roads are paved into brick ridge lanes, and bluestone rails are also laid on the big road, and then the courtyard wall is covered with bricks. In the past, the old house of the Zongren was still there, and the courtyard wall was built first, and then it was demolished and built. This will neither affect the residence nor delay the construction period.

Thanks to last year's wheat field to rice. There is still a lot of time before planting rice.

Although it is said that it is paid for work and debts are paid for by labor. The young owner did not deduct all the deductions. Each household still has 100 dollars a month. The people were overjoyed, and the sentiment of the people was high.

With the increasing sales of bedding mats, paying 100,000 yuan a month is no longer difficult for Liu Bei. That is, ten high-quality brocade mats, half a good horse.

It is well known in the clan that Liu Bei's family education is very strict. Xi Wen Wu, day after day.

The affairs of the people are all handed over to Su Bo, and the affairs of the clan are entrusted to the patriarch. When he came to discuss with Liu Bei in distress, Liu Bei always had a way to deal with it. Both inside and outside, it is called: Shaojun. Shaojun has two meanings, one is the king of youth. One is the Young Lord.

Anyway, no matter what it means, Zhuoxian Qilinzi and Lousang Shaojun have gradually become famous in the north.

In the afternoon of this day, Liu Bei was dipped in chalk and carefully sketched on a lacquered wooden board.

"What is this?" Mother asked with a smile.

"Soup pool." Liu Bei smiled: "It's a place for people to take a bath." ”

"Why is it so big?" The mother was amazed at the sheer size.

"Everyone can enter the bath. You only need to pay for the bath and you can go in the bath. "Liu Bei designed a public bath. It occupies a large area.

In fact, the entire village layout is divided into five pieces by the official road and Qingxi.

The largest building in the northwest is the ancestral hall. Not far behind the wall is the cemetery of the clan and the wild forest of Mizusawa.

The largest building in the southeast is Liu Bei's ancestral house, which guards the official road to the east.

The largest building in the southwest is the Lou Sang Dormitory, which is rising from the ground.

The northeast is mostly a courtyard of the Zongren. The newly attached people settled on both sides of the village road.

In the center of the village, the southeast, northeast, and northwest triangles will each have a large house. They are the soup pool, the wine bar, and the guest house (hostel). It is across the street from the dormitory in the southwest corner. It has become the core business district of Lousang Village.

The spacious streets and alleys in the vicinity will be turned into commercial markets.

A bazaar with a population of 6,000 people, rich in people, how prosperous it should be!

No hurry!

Eat the rice one bite at a time. Things have to be done one by one. The road must be taken step by step.

Although the soup pond is large, it is easy to build, and there is no technical difficulty. The guest house, in addition to being large and elegant, is not complicated. Only the wine is a problem.

Liu Bei doesn't know anything about winemaking.

There are five Qi in "Zhou Li, Tianguan, Jiuzheng": "Distinguish the names of the five Qi, one is Pan Qi, the second is Liqi, the third is Anqi, the fourth is Tiqi, and the fifth is Shen Qi." "There are also three kinds of sake: sake, sake, and sake. The great Confucian Zheng Xuan also said: "Old wine" is an old rice wine brewed in winter and spring, also known as "white wine"; "Sake" is rice wine brewed in winter and made in summer, which is older and purer than liquor.

In other words, both liquor and sake are rice wine at the moment. It's just a matter of how long it takes to be vindicated. In the Han Dynasty and before, grains were mostly used to make wine, and the alcohol content was very low, so Fan Xu could "fight wine and shoulder" (drink a bucket of wine and eat a pig's trotters).

I remember that my mother asked him to recite Zhang Heng's "Nandu Fu". Among them, there is a good sentence of "wine is nine sweet liquor, ten years and clear, the diameter of the mash floats, and the floating ants are like ping". In the book, 'Nine Brews' and 'Ganli' are juxtaposed.

But who makes good wine?

So I asked the craftsman Suber.
