【0075 Stables】
Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya wondered how they got to bed? No need to ask, it must have been Wei Bao who carried them to bed, and the thought that his body had been hugged by Wei Bao like this, his heart was beating wildly.
"Xiaobao, what do you want to eat in the morning?" Fan Xiaolin looked at Wei Bao with a smile.
"Eat whatever you want." Wei Bao smiled slightly, "Otherwise, I would be tired of having to worry about eating every meal, and I'm not a picky eater, just have something delicious." ”
Originally, Wang Qiuya should have asked these questions, but Fan Xiaolin rushed to ask, Wang Qiuya was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it, and Fan Xiaolin glanced at each other, thinking about what Wei Bao said, what does it mean to have delicious food? Are you still not picky eaters?
Huang Ying saw the second daughter's doubts, and said with a smile: "Ignore him, he hasn't eaten anything delicious since he was a child, and now he has two money, and he is coaxed all day long." He has to eat whatever we do. ”
Huang Ying's words made Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin laugh.
Wei Bao has already gone out, he heard three women laughing, and he didn't know what they were laughing at, but his mood was surprisingly good, his mother was happy, his woman was happy, this is the most coveted and difficult realm for a man, and now his two women and his mother are happy, which is even more difficult, and he didn't make any effort to achieve such a harmonious situation, the Ming Dynasty is really good.
Seeing the stables that had been formed, Wei Bao was startled, it was two stories high, it could be described as majestic, this is a building made by one night's hard work? More people is more power! Now he has more than 100 villagers under his command, and more than 40 strong laborers, which are within his own 'establishment', and the manpower is sufficient.
"Childe, are you up? How about a look? Luo San was stunned when he saw Wei Bao coming, and hurriedly came over happily to report his merits: "This stable can accommodate a hundred horses!" Is it big enough? ”
"Almost." Wei Bao nodded. Secretly wondering where he got a hundred horses, he has no idea of fighting for hegemony, to fight for hegemony, and in any case it is impossible to compete for hegemony in a military important place like Shanhaiguan, this is a military fortress, and there are heavy military groups of the Ming Dynasty before and after. Not to mention a hundred horses, even twenty or so horses are eye-catching. Besides, in such a big place, can you still raise a cavalry unit to come out? Not to mention the cavalry troops, just a little wrong, a team of officers and soldiers from Shanhaiguan came over and all of them were wiped out.
"We will definitely be able to become big owners and caravans in the future. There are more places to feed the horses, and if you don't have time to build a house for the house slaves today, you will also have a place to live, and you don't have to blow the wind all night. Luo San was stunned and explained with a smile, "And I think that the place is bigger, even if there are not so many horses, it can be used to pile up some forage or something, and it is good to make a warehouse." ”
"You're combining the warehouse and the stable, I didn't expect it, it's good." Wei Bao nodded, expressed his appreciation for Luo Sanzi's work, and looked at everyone again, everyone was a little tired, the hardships of fighting for a whole night in such bad weather, Wei Bao could imagine, "Let everyone go back and rest, your body is important." ”
When everyone heard that Wei Bao cared about them, they all cheered up and saluted Wei Bao, and they all said something like 'Son, don't be tired'.
"Wait until the house of the son and the old lady is built out first, and then rest, just fight for two days and you can come out." Liu Chunshi also came over, "Everyone is a person who can endure hardships, and now they have a full meal to eat, so I really don't take this hardship to heart." ”
Wei Bao nodded and said: "That's okay, let's take turns to rest, organize, don't delay work and rest, you have to heal if you are tired, go more." In the past few days, I have arranged a big pot to make rice, and the people who work are eating at my house. ”
"Good. Son. Luo San was stunned and Liu Chunshi hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, what about Big Heads? Isn't he going out with his father, my father, and Uncle Wang today? Why didn't you see a human figure? Wei Bao asked in a low voice.
Luo San was stunned and Liu Chunshi knew that he was referring to the planned trip to Hejian Mansion last night to explore the way, Liu Chunshi replied: "The big head hasn't gotten up yet, and I came to help several times last night, and this kid was quite energetic yesterday." ”
Wei Bao nodded with a smile and said: "It's good to know that you are strong, you have to have a strong mouth to live, if you don't work hard when you are young, you will be old in a blink of an eye." ”
Luo San was stunned and Liu Chunshi hurriedly nodded yes, saying that everything would be arranged.
"Then I'm going to go up to Shanhaiguan later, and then find three people to make me a follower, the three of you have something to do now, and you can't tell the difference, so I will find three young and strong, smart, and reliable ones from Benjia." Wei Bao Road.
Luo San was stunned and Liu Chunshi thought about it, Liu Chunshi said: "Now the dozen or so people who have been recruited in Benjia are all known from childhood and are reliable, mainly because they are not easy to find, and no one in the township has ever been out of the door, I recommend a Li Nan, twenty-five or sixteen years old, just like us and Sanzi, an old bachelor, a very honest person, and he has also been out, so he can be considered clever." ”
"I also recommend the two of them, Gao Du and Peng Mingbo, they usually play with us, these three people work well, and their legs and feet are also diligent." Luo San was stunned and added.
Wei Bao nodded and said, "Okay, I know all three of them, and they are all the old descendants of Benjia." Just the three of them. Call them when I'm leaving, and explain to them how to do it first. ”
Luo San was stunned and Liu Chunshi were very happy to see that Gongzi agreed to their recommendation, Luo San was stunned and said, "Well, I'll tell them later, just be obedient and smart." They have become the followers of the son, and it is their luck in this life. ”
"yes, I'll tell them later, the three of them don't know how happy they are." Liu Chunshi also said.
Wei Bao nodded with a smile, seeing that Luo San and Liu Chunshi now think so highly of themselves, their vanity is also quite useful, "The stable has been built, we will find a place to store our goods later, vacate the carriage, find someone to take care of the stable, and I will go out and ask for a carriage later." Will they drive a carriage? ”
"Yes, in the next generation of twenty, you can't drive a carriage or a mule cart, it's all the same." Luo San replied stunned, and said softly: "Those tiger skins and bear skins, let's put them with us and Chunshi first, and then put them when the son's house is built." ”
"It's still thoughtful, you can." Wei Bao snorted, walked forward, and entered the stable, which was all made of fresh wood, which was really beautiful, but there were still two-thirds of the top that had not yet been sealed with logs. In fact, the project of the stable can only be regarded as a small half completed, and the capping is a big project, in this ancient time when there was no large lifting machinery, all relied on manpower, and the roof of the wooden house must be two-layered, otherwise it cannot be waterproof.
"Cut down another hundred and eighty large trees during the day, and in the afternoon they will all be covered, and the horses will be comfortable at night." Luo San smiled dumbfounded.
Wei Bao patted the face of a horse next to him, he didn't understand horses, he felt that every horse was about the same, "Do you know how to take horses?" What's the best horse in this? ”
"I know how to take a horse, these horses are all about the same, it's hard to pick the best, they are all good horses." Luo San was stunned and said happily.
Wei Bao sighed, "I'll have to get the best horse in the world to be my mount." ”
"Then you have to Dawan horse, Dawan horse originates from Dawan country, Dawan is the name of the ancient Western Regions, it is said that after running at high speed, the shoulder position slowly bulges, and flows out like blood-like sweat, so it is named "sweat and blood BMW". Liu Chunshi said.
Luo San nodded stunned, "Yes, I've only heard of the sweat and blood horse, I haven't encountered it yet, it seems that the cavalry of Jiannu has a few such horses." ”
"Jiannu's cavalry has, but our court's cavalry doesn't?" Wei Baolai was interested and asked curiously.
"I don't know, there shouldn't be, now the outside of the customs is controlled by Jiannu, and the imperial court is struggling, where is the spare power to trade through the customs? If it weren't for the fact that the trade outside the customs was under the control of Jiannu, we would ...... last time" Luo San was stunned halfway through, and suddenly remembered that Wei Bao didn't let him say that he killed Jiannu yesterday and snatched a large number of supplies, so he hurriedly sealed his mouth.
Wei Bao understood the meaning of Luo San's unfinished words, and nodded, "Okay, you guys are busy, I'll go back." ”
"Childe, otherwise I will let the three stunned children accompany Childe to Shanhaiguan, right? I'm a little worried about these three new entourage, and I'm just going to keep an eye on it here. Liu Chunshi said.
"No, what's not to worry about going to Shanhaiguan? We're not going to fight, don't always scare yourself. Wei Bao said indifferently.
"Yes." Liu Chunshi bowed his hand and respectfully agreed.
A carpenter in charge of the superintendent of the project came over, "Childe, this is a sketch I made, according to Childe's wishes, there is a room for unwinding and a room for bathing, and these rooms are arranged for Childe's maids to live." ”
Wei Bao looked at the sketch, nodded and said, "Very good, let's do it." ”
"Okay, if Childe doesn't have anything else to add, I'll start laying the foundation later, and this house is built in levitation, so as not to get damp underneath." Craftsman Road.
"Suspended construction, is it supported by a few large pillars, and my wooden house is on the upper floor?" Wei Bao was pleasantly surprised, he used to watch martial arts movies, but they were all wooden houses like this, and when he was a child, he really wanted to have a house like this, and now he can finally get his wish, originally he didn't expect it, thinking that it was the same as a stone house, but it was just a wooden structure.
"That's exactly what Childe said." The carpenter replied.
"Okay, that's it." Wei Bao smiled slightly, satisfied.
