Chapter 0188 - Sawn Timber

The demolition work of the third lane of the south of East Street has been basically completed, and the bird's-eye view of Dunhuang College drawn by Chen Mu has also entered the final stage.

The main teaching building, library, dormitory, canteen, playground, principal's office building, garrison dormitory and other facilities are readily available.

Chen Mu looked at it himself, felt very satisfied, and asked Gu Changsong to take it back and copy a few, and then sent it to the construction party to start construction.

Although the efficiency of the military construction team is extremely high, there is no guarantee that it will be completed before winter, and Chen Mu does not plan to recruit students this year.

Flipping through the piles of drawings on the left hand, they were all kinds of ideas that flashed in his mind before, and many of them were waste ideas like cigarette factories, so he didn't think much about them, so he handed those drawings to Xiaohuan and asked Xiaohuan to take them out and throw them away.

Xiaohuan walked out with the drawings in his hand, and he didn't come back for a long time, Chen Mu asked Hanxiang, where did Xiaohuan go, did he ask you for leave?

Hanxiang said that Xiaohuan said that she was going to the market, and I also brought two soldiers for her.

Chen Mu sighed and sat in the chair. As soon as he sat down, someone called the door and said that two jade masons had asked to see him.

Soon after, two jade masons, one old and one young, walked in with two jade carvings.

At a glance, the carving is fine, the burly Guan Gong, the body is full, the expression is solemn, Chen Mu praised again and again.

"Call Zhang Han here, this Guan Gong statue is for him."

Look at another stone carving, on one side of the lake, an old man sits on a boat in the center of the lake fishing, there are farmhouses, women, children, and livestock on the lakeside. It portrays the life of a farmer vividly and interestingly. Also skillfully use the variegated skin of jade to carve out the surrounding mountains and forests, a late autumn fishing map, come into view.

Chen Mu said to Hanxiang: "Call your father, give this to him." ”

Hanxiang walked over curiously, looked at it, and smiled: "The old man fishing in this lake, but is it a father?" ”

Chen Mu nodded.

Hanxiang stretched out her slender fingers and pointed her fingertips next to the woman: "This is the mother?" ”

Chen Mu nodded with a smile.

Han Xiang frowned: "This child is a boy, so where am I?" ”

Chen Mu quipped: "You're married." ”

Hanxiang suddenly blushed, covered her mouth and smiled: "I thought it was my child, and my mother helped take care of it." ”

Chen Mu laughed.

Chen Mu gave the two stonemasons three times the market price, and asked them to carve white jade statues for Hanxiang, and took them to see Zhong Lixiang, Xiaomei, Yu Linglong, Xiaohuan, Li Shi, and Mrs. Zhang Han. Chen Mu wants to make jade statues for each of the women around him.

The two jade craftsmen said that they would definitely not be able to remember so many people just by looking at them, and asked the general to come one by one.

Chen Mu asked them to carve the two incense girls, Hanxiang and Zhong Lixiang, first.

Chen Mu thought about it, gave them a few more pieces of jade, let them carve a few more, and then they would have a choice. The girls are all beautiful, and if they are ugly, it is better not to carve.

The jade craftsmen even said that they understood.

Zhang Han took away the statue of Guan Gong and said that he would take it home and offer it, but Chen Mu did not stop him.

Soon after, the lame man limped in and collapsed in his chair, looking lazy.

Hanxiang pointed to the jade carving to show her father, and explained it with great interest.

The lame man pointed to the little boy and said to Chen Mu: "Who belongs to this little cub?" ”

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, I give you this, just to wish you to give birth to a boy, so that you can have both children and daughters, isn't it very beautiful." ”

The cripple waved his hand: "Cumbersome." I didn't want children, but the girls at home hid it from me. Now that she was about to show her pregnancy, she told me that she had a prelude with me. People like me shouldn't have sons. ”

Chen Mu was puzzled: "Why is that?" ”

The lame man smiled: "I am the one who wants to rebel, the more people in the family, the more burdensome it is." In the future, when the child is born, I will send him away. ”

Chen Mu was speechless.

The cripple said: "Your Senior Sister Yan is really powerful, she has worked hard to get a few lives in a few days." And it was handled so neatly that no one knew about it except me. ”

Chen Mu asked, "Who did she kill?" ”

The cripple said: "The queen mother's people." ”

Chen Mu pondered for a moment: "Is Senior Sister a person?" ”

The cripple rubbed his forehead: "She didn't tell me." ”

Chen Mu nodded, and at the same time pinched a handful of people sent by the Empress Dowager Khan for his senior sister, how could he be a general.

When he was sleeping peacefully, his senior sister was fighting with people outside, thinking of this, Chen Mu felt a pain in his heart.

Also, why didn't my senior sister come to me, but to the lame man to discuss things?

Chen Mu couldn't figure it out, so he didn't ask, but gossiped with the lame.

The two talked about each other, and the lame man looked very busy, and he was going to the general headquarters of the Eighth Division.

Now the lame man has positions in the Eighth Division and the Sixteenth Division, the Second Brigade, and the Fourth Brigade, and the old work is busy from morning to night.

The lame man has a lot of ideas about how to do things, and Chen Mu doesn't interfere much.

The paper mill was basically settled, and the mill was set up between the timber mill and the forest area outside the city, so that the waste from the mountains and the timber mill could be easily transported.

Sufficient pulp raw materials were prepared, but the large pulverizer was not successfully developed.

Later, Chen Mu changed his thinking, gave up heavy crushing, changed to saw blade crushing, manufactured gear gearboxes, and used belts to drive circular saws to achieve high-speed cutting, and the efficiency was also very high.

After cutting into small pieces, it is much easier to crush them a second time.

After crushing, it can be ground and can be used in pulp production.

Although it will take some time to build the factory, these news have already reached Cao Sui's ears.

Chen Mu's tricks came one after another, especially after the cotton mill began to sell to the outside world, Cao Sui, who was bent on overpowering Chen Mu, couldn't sit still. The achievements he had made before seemed to be less and less worthy of mention compared to Chen Mu's current achievements. He has realized that his biggest problem is that there is no new technology, so he found Wang Zhiyuan, a "skilled craftsman" who developed a crusher, and asked him to also study high-efficiency textile machines, but Wang Zhiyuan racked his brains and made no progress.

Later, Cao Su asked Wang Zhiyuan to develop a wood chipper, but he still couldn't research it, and slowly lost Cao Zhi's trust.

But at this time, Cao Zhi was not bad to him, and the previous twenty taels per month continued to be sent to him. But Wang Zhiyuan lives in anxiety every day. He knew how many catties he had, and at this time he had already begun to retreat. But when you leave the Xuanjia Army, you don't have a place to go.

His little wife once told him that he would simply leave Dunhuang and go to the Central Plains to develop. Do you have the ability to make a shredder, but are you afraid that you won't make money?

Wang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Daughter-in-law, you really want to do beautiful things, do you think I can walk out of Dunhuang City now?" ”

The first is the latest.
