Chapter 15: Blow First

Su Xiaocai listened to everyone's opinions for a while, and he understood a little, they planned like this: first build a large courtyard, enter several courtyards, and use this to settle down the head of the sect, that is, Su Xiaocai, so that he can live here in peace and control, and command the operation of the entire sect......

As for the entire Zhuangzi and the surrounding fields, go to the government to apply for a group of displaced people who have been displaced in Tokyo to become tenant farmers and settle in the Zhuangzi. These displaced people are generally people who have been affected by disasters in various places, or who have had major changes in their families, and their lives are unsustainable, and they have fled all the way to the famine.

Applying for the resettlement of some displaced people is a good deed. It can also share some headaches for the government. So it's also a happy thing, and the government is very happy! The Great Song Dynasty's strategy for dealing with the displaced people was to include the Xiang army, which was now overcrowded and difficult to feed......

Of course, it is very easy to resettle these displaced people, because it is very easy for them to satisfy their desire for a bite to eat. On the basis of the original Zhuangzi, those collapsed thatched huts were repaired, and they were given a little shelter from the wind and rain, and as for how they planned to rebuild them later, it was their own business.

Since they are homeless people and have no belongings, they come here to cultivate this land, and they have to give them food and shelter in the early stage, which is also a great kindness to them......

The master asked Su Xiaocai to listen first, and they discussed. After the discussion is over, Su Xiaocai will summarize it, and come up with his own opinions to set a charter, and everyone will listen to the ......

"I've listened to what everyone said, although I still don't understand what our group of people do, maybe it will be clear in the future, but as far as the current matter of building Zhuangzi is concerned, I don't agree with the plan agreed by everyone......

Everyone looked at Su Xiaocai and didn't speak, of course, it may not be easy to let these people speak. They just nodded or shook their heads, and sometimes they occasionally used very short sentences to express their opinions, often one sentence was clear, and there was no superfluous nonsense......

If they don't say these phrases, but just keep shaking their heads or nodding their heads, you don't think they're a bunch of people who can express their thoughts in words, and you don't think they're dumb people.

"'River out of the other' is different! I have my own ideas so quickly, very good, very good, please speak, we will listen to you......" Master arched his hand.

"From the meaning of your words, I can also hear that you don't think that this Zhuangzi can produce much value, but only plan to build a big mansion here, let me live here, and make this place the general altar of our sect...... Finding a group of tenant farmers to work here is just a cover.

On the outskirts of Beijing, more than 2,000 acres of fertile land! If it is really put in my hands and put into operation, it will be of immeasurable value!

Therefore, I think that if you want to build a Zhuangzi here, you must build it completely according to my design standards, and it is up to me who needs to be used and how to operate it after it is completed! As for why this is so, I have explained it in an expanded manner, and you may not understand it! And it's hard to talk about that! I can only guarantee that in less than two years, this Zhuangzi will be able to generate hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels of profits every year......"

"Uh......" Judging from Master's expression, Master actually wanted to laugh at Su Xiaocai, but after looking around at the others, probably in order to give Su Xiaocai face, he swallowed what he wanted to say.

"The head of the house is 'out of the river', and his thinking is somewhat different from ordinary people, maybe it is normal, and his magical thinking is not something we can understand...... Well, listen to the master! I obeyed the master's arrangement...... "Of course, the master has to find Su Xiaocai to go down the stairs."

It seems that among these people who came, Master's prestige is still quite high, Master expressed his obedience, and the others did not have any doubts, and everyone arched their hands, which can be regarded as supporting Su Xiaocai's idea.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll arrange for everyone to work next, and I hope that in the next few days, everyone will get along happily and ......" Su Xiaocai wanted to make a generous statement, but he didn't know where the words came from, and he was deflated when he thought about it, so he said it casually.

"I don't know how you arrange it? What should we do? Master asked.

"Is there any bigger paper, give me some, I'll draw a picture......" Su Xiaocai thought about the road he had just walked in this Zhuangzi, and according to what he observed, he slowly formed a topographical map of this Zhuangzi in his mind.

"There is paper...... As a carpenter, when encountering a more complicated work, you have to use paper to draw and memorize it first, so paper is a must-have for carpenters...... "The master opened a toolbox and found a roll of paper, which was a roll of thick paper that looked yellowish, and there were about dozens of sheets.

Su Xiaocai grabbed a folding ruler casually, picked up a half-burned wooden stick, and began to draw on the paper, he first drew an overall design drawing, and then sent a rendering, and then drew most of the drawings of the building.

Of course, doing this kind of thing is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, but this time most of the people around me are craftsmen, and they are still watching this kind of thing with great interest......

This process lasted for a whole afternoon, and when the sun set, the burning clouds on the horizon reflected the red of the earth, and gradually the twilight was four, and the night pulled a black curtain on the earth......

Everyone lit a fire, and the master took people out to hunt pheasants and hares, and this time it was no longer called flower chickens to eat, but boiled hot water, plucked the feathers, threw them in the hanging pot brought by these people, and began to cook......

Some of them set up a stone mill, washed the surface cleanly, heated it, and began to bake white cakes on it...... Using this stone to make white cakes can stimulate the wheat fragrance of the noodles, and now everywhere is shrouded in a piece of wheat fragrance and meat aroma, Su Xiaocai smelled these smells, and returned to reality from the painting he was immersed in......

He felt his back sore, his legs were numb, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and when he looked up, he realized that it was already dark......

However, these dozen or so design drawings are finally completed. Su Xiaocai threw away the seventeenth charcoal stick in his hand that had been used......

"That's it, give me something to eat, I'm starving......"

All the onlookers also let out a long breath for Su Xiaocai, of course, they also watched it for so long, and many things only seemed to be understood, but it was obvious that it would be a big project to do it according to this......

Although everyone wanted Su Xiaocai to explain it quickly, but they couldn't stand the fragrance, and finally everyone gathered together, and after gobbling it up for a while, they asked the two elementary school apprentices to carefully unfold Su Xiaocai's drawings one by one from beginning to end.

Su Xiaocai still has the skills to draw drawings, and his major is architectural design. Of course, now that I have arrived at this land, I can only paint ancient buildings...... This used to be a course he had taken, and he wasn't that skilled at drawing......

The two elementary school apprentices stood by the blazing fire with the drawings in their hands, and Su Xiaocai reminded them to stand a little farther away, so as not to burn the thing they had worked so hard to draw would be burned by the fire......

Then he found a bamboo pole, stood in front of the drawing, and began to point and explain to these people.
