The next day, Zheng Yu had to rush back to the farm, there were too many things, building a steelmaking blast furnace, building a blower, building a cement factory, the ridges were done, and cement was needed to make the inlet and outlet pools and diversion canals, all of which were spent before the two thousand taels were spent. This second tranche of money is finally in place, and it needs to be arranged as soon as possible. got up early in the morning to pack up his things, and took Zheng Ying to Liufu first.

When he came to Liufu, Liu Yun didn't bother before he got up. Under the leadership of Liu He, he came to Su Xiaoman's residence.

"Good morning to the second aunt, the little nephew takes the liberty to disturb, and I ask the second aunt to forgive me."

Su Xiaoman was still puzzled for a while, Zheng Yu looked for what he could do, so he said: "Zheng Gongzi is polite, they are all a family, if there is anything to say, my aunt can do her best." ”

"The little nephew thanked his aunt first, some time ago, the little nephew recognized a sister in the house, can the aunt remember?"

"Of course I remember, the little girl is beautiful and attractive, called ..... Oh yes, it's Zheng Ying, what's wrong with her? ”

"Yes, that's her. The little nephew will be busy on the farm for a while recently and will not have time to take care of her. And there is no one at home, and the little nephew is really relieved, so I want her to move over for a period of time and bother her aunt to take care of her. ”

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he laughed and said, "Hey, I also said what's wrong with the little girl, you kid, what's the trouble here." What about people? Did you bring it? Follow me all this time. I can teach her to read and play the piano or something, and I happen to be my companion. Originally, it was a person from the house, if it weren't for you, I would have wanted to follow me with the master, who knew that you were the first, hehehehe"

Why does Zheng Yu feel that this sounds so awkward, what does it mean that he has taken the lead? This Su Xiaoman, don't misunderstand that she is raising Zheng Ying as a daughter-in-law. The reason why she was named Zheng Ying directly was to avoid being misunderstood by others. Now it doesn't seem to be working.

"Well, thank you, aunt, the person brought it, just outside the door, I called her in."

Zheng Ying walked in the door, bowed to Su Xiaoman and said, "Zheng Ying has seen the second lady, and the second lady is healthy."

Su Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Oh, this kid, you have to follow your brother to call someone, how can you still call the second lady, call the second aunt, come, come to the second aunt, let the second aunt see, look at this girl!" ”

Zheng Ying was a little uncomfortable with the change in her identity in Liufu, secretly glanced at Zheng Yu, and under Zheng Yu's affirmative eyes, she walked to Su Xiaoman's side with a twist. When he was about to get closer, he was dragged over by Su Xiaoman and praised him, and even Zheng Yu blushed a little.

After Su Xiaoman praised Zheng Ying, he said to Zheng Yu: "Okay, don't worry about you, people will let me go here, and I will guarantee that a lot of hairs will be returned to you when the time comes." ”

When Zheng Yu heard this, he shook it to the end: "The little nephew thanked the second aunt!" The little nephew retired first. After speaking, he told Zheng Ying a few words before leaving.

Out of Liufu, Zheng Yu and Liu Bao hurried back to the farm with a batch of newly purchased supplies. At this stage, the work of the farm is like the foundation of a high-rise building, and how high the building can be in the future depends on how solid the foundation is. So Zheng Yu must stare at it in person, and he can't relax for a moment.

When you reach the farm, you can see a gray-white concrete cistern and three canals also made of concrete at the outlet of the mountain spring halfway up the mountainside, leading to the fields below, the Zhuangzili and the newly planned workshop area.

Through a few days of hard work, more than 900 acres of saline-alkali land have all been soaked aside, and the wheat for the experiment has been planted, and under normal circumstances, it can sprout in three to five days, but today is the third day, and there is no movement. Zheng Yu is not in a hurry, after all, this is an experiment and the first operation. Wait patiently, and if you still haven't moved in ten days, soak in the field again.

In addition to glass and cement, which can already be produced normally, the fastest progress is steelmaking. Master Liu is worthy of the master of the imperial court, taking the blast furnace steelmaking technical information provided by Zheng Yu, combined with the existing science and technology, and quickly mastered the method. An ingenious bellows was also built. The coke had just been burned out, and it was about to be used to practice the first batch of experimental steel, Zheng Yu looked at it, he had nothing to help, and asked Mr. Gou about compound fertilizer, Mr. Gou said that it had been made and started the experiment, and if the effect was good, he would build a workshop to produce, and then walked away in a circle.

The team took over the open space in the middle of the village as a training ground. A lot of newly built training equipment was installed, and at first glance it looked like the one on the training ground of the later troops, but most of it was made of wood. When Zheng Yu passed by, thirty team members were training in full swing. Mainly strength, physical strength and group assassination. Divided into two teams, Zheng Tai and Wang Ying led the first team respectively, which seemed to be more energetic and in good shape. Zheng Yu's heart was itching, and he was about to go up to make two gestures, but was stopped by Zheng Xing, who rushed over.

"Fourth brother, this won't work. There is a shortage of people here, and there is a shortage of people there. Whoever is short of manpower is looking for me, I have to renovate the house here, and I have to strengthen the village wall, I myself am not enough now, I have to recruit people quickly. The uncles of the Zhuang team toss around in the field every day when they are full, and they don't come to help! This can't be done," Zheng Xing complained with a sad face.

"Third brother, the Zhuang team is not a blind toss, they are training, this is my special approval. Their job is to train and nothing else, which is very important, as you'll see later. In this way, a batch of silver came back yesterday, and now that the crops have been planted, there are not many things, you go around the surrounding villages, hire some people, take care of the work three times a day, and temporarily relieve the problem of manpower shortage, but remember, the hired outsiders must be careful, and don't let them get close to the workshop."

"Okay, then I'll go around tomorrow." Zheng Xing replied helplessly.

As soon as Zheng Xing's words fell, he saw a few people dressed as peasants outside the village, tiptoeing and looking into the village through the village wall. Zheng Yu was shocked, wouldn't this be another villain to step on? As soon as they came to the gate of the village, Wang Ying recognized a few people, stepped forward and said, "Uncle Fu? How did you get here? ”

When an old man among several people saw Wang Ying, he immediately came forward crying, and said as he walked: "Daying, I can be regarded as finding you!" I've heard from a few people in the village that you have been caught and killed by the government. The next day when Mr. Zhao heard about it, he raised the rent to seventy percent, not counting the taxes of the government, how can people live! Later, I found out that you were arrested here, so I thought about it and came to see, isn't this happening, you can make it so hard for your uncle to find it! ”

It turned out that these people were villagers from a village near Wang Ying's former stronghold. This old man named Zhao Laofu had helped Wang Ying and the others when they had just fled here. Later, Wang Ying and several people robbed the house of a landlord surnamed Zhao in the village. and warned him that in the future, the land rent would dare to be higher than five percent, and he slaughtered his whole family, and then found a hill nearby and laid grass. Wang Ying and they didn't go back in the past few days, and the landlord surnamed Zhao heard some gossip again, thinking that Wang Ying and they were done playing, and began to bully the tenants even more. forced everyone to have no way to live, and they really had no tricks before they thought about coming out to find Wang Ying to see if they could find Wang Ying.

Zheng Yu looked at the few people in front of him, isn't this just a sleepy person sending a pillow, these people know the root of Wang Ying, wouldn't it be good to move here directly, consuming some food, in exchange for so much scarce labor. What are you waiting for such a good thing, I didn't wait for Wang Ying to speak, and stepped forward and said: "This old man, my surname is Zheng, I am the owner of this Zhuangzi, and now Wang Ying is our Zhuangzi's person, he can't go back with you." I think so, how many of you, men, women, and children have all moved here, and I will deal with the official documents, and this year Zhuangzi will temporarily provide you with food and clothing, and of course you have to participate in public labor. Next year, we will start to distribute land to you according to the capitation, do you think? ”

After hearing this, the old man looked at each other, and then looked at Wang Ying as if asking, Wang Ying smiled and said: "Uncle, our Zheng Zhuang is not a landlord and an old man, and he has never bullied the people in the village. I think what our owner said is doable. ”

The old man listened to it as if he had made up his mind, patted his thigh and said: "Then listen to Master Zhengzhuang, I will go back and discuss with everyone now, if it goes well, there should be more than 20 households and more than 100 people." Come early tomorrow morning, they are all tenants, and they have no house or land at home, so they have nothing to worry about. ”

Zheng Yu nodded yes, and arranged for some people to secretly follow to take a look, to prevent the rich man Zhao from knowing about it.
