Chapter 80: Construction Begins

As soon as Zhang Zhimu went out, he saw that Sister-in-law Xu was arranging for someone to prepare a banquet in the courtyard, and asked her how Xiurong arranged it, and Sister-in-law Xu said that more than a dozen people were arranged to take care of those people, just let it go. Zhang Zhimu thought about it, with Huang Yukun here, he didn't have to worry about these things at all. Seeing Chen Yufeng, Zhang Zhimu told him about buying Liu Mantang's land. Chen Yufeng said, it's okay now, you can get this right. Zhang Zhimu said: "I'll make an overall plan when I find time. Let's take a good look here. The two carefully walked around the kiln gang, and Zhang Zhimu found that there was originally a well on this post, and the time of this well was not short, and now it has dried up. There is a depression on the south side of this hill, where a few tufts of willow grow very luxuriantly, and the plants in other places are not dead due to drought. Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Chen, we should go later to kill Hukou, when the horse is fat and strong, because it is going to survive the winter, the horse is still cheap." Now the first thing we do is to dig a well, and we will dig a deep well here, where the vegetation is abundant, and there will be water. Chen Yufeng said: "I don't have to worry about these things." I think let's build a house so that we can bring people back. Then they went into the field again, and found that the corn had been eaten by the locusts, and that the corn had been bare, and that the grass had just sprouted. You can see how terrible the locusts were when they came. Zhang Zhimu said: "Locusts will be destroyed after a long drought, this is the law. In fact, he also knew that in his previous life, in the face of this locust plague, there was no other effective way for human beings to face this locust plague except for spraying pesticides on a large area of aircraft. A small piece of management is useless, because the locusts will go wherever the farmer is good. Chen Yufeng said: "This year, there is no harvest. Zhang Zhimu looked at it and said, if the dealer does not accept it, the grassland will also suffer. Tomorrow, I will transfer all the people who can work in Xiurong, build a house, build a house, and I will arrange for everyone else. I first got the paperwork for buying a house and a field. We may have another opportunity.

The next day, Zhang Zhimu, Huang Yukun and Liu Mantang went to Xiurong to handle the paperwork for the purchase and sale of real estate and land. Liu Mantang, who got one hundred taels of silver, trembled happily. Zhang Zhimu said: "Although we bought the house and land, this will always be your home, and you will come back when you are not used to living outside." There will always be a place for you to stay. Liu Mantang had tears in his eyes. Zhang Zhimu said: "Soon, we will go to Zhangjiakou to do business, and we will meet again, maybe we will have business with your son at that time." Liu Mantang said: "That would be great." Liu Mantang still had to buy some things, so Zhang Zhimu and Yang Yulin came to the courtyard of the Huwei Dart Bureau. When the people in the courtyard saw Zhang Zhimu coming, they all asked when they would go to the kiln. Zhang Zhimu said: "Build a house now, everyone has to live here for a few days." But there are some people who have the craft to go over and get busy. Tomorrow, arrange for someone to pick you up. ”

Zhang Zhimu came to Lu Bingyi's room, and the old gentleman was discussing problems with his disciples. Seeing Zhang Zhimu coming in, these disciples got up and saluted and surrounded Zhang Zhimu. asked questions one after another, and Zhang Zhimu was surrounded for a long time before he was freed. Lu Bingyi smiled and said, "Everyone is thirsty for knowledge." Zhang Zhimu said: "I just came back, and all of a sudden I have a lot of problems, and the old lady still has to live here with his disciples for a few days. Houses have already begun to be built on the kiln side. I plan to build a school there at the same time, a place where people can study and discuss knowledge. Everyone who has strengths can be a teacher. Wherever there are capable people, we can invite them to teach. At that time, I would like to tell you about mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Now the heart is not quiet, not yet. Lu Bingyi said: "We are looking forward to the day when you can teach, but this kind of thing is not good." You'd better get busy first. We're enjoying ourselves, too. Let's take a good look while we have time. ”

When I came to Liu Banzhu, it was lively. There are quite a few people who are practicing musical instruments. Liu said: "We have a lot of people this time. It's just that the place is too small, otherwise we can rehearse, the court music and dance. Zhang Zhimu said: "I have a suggestion. Our Hui opera comes from Kunqu Opera. This time, we have so many masters of Kunqu opera and Hui opera together, it is better for us to write the script and music by ourselves, and make a new drama. Accompaniment with a big band. Optimize the singing voice, and there can be more characters on the stage and a larger scene. We are building a house in Yaogang, and this time I am going to build a big stage, and dozens of people will be fine on the stage. "These musicians are all listening with their necks stretched. Liu said: "We have all the people here who can write, act, and rehearse, but we don't know what to shoot." Zhang Zhimushu said: "I have a suggestion, how about everyone re-enact the story of Emperor Tang Ming and Tang Guifei?" Liu said: "Of course it will do" Zhang Zhimu said: "About this story, as soon as I think about it, I have a melody in my head. I'll sing it, everyone can memorize it, and then we'll revise it together. "Bring pen and paper, and two of them are ready to memorize. Zhang Zhimu cleared his throat and sang a passage of "Ode to Pear Blossoms" in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Zhimu sang it with a female voice, and sang it with a boy's duet. "Pear blossoms bloom, spring brings rain; Pear blossoms fall, spring into the mud, this life is only for one person, the natural beauty is difficult to give up, long hatred of a song of eternal fans, long hatred of a song of eternal thoughts" After singing this Erhuang, everyone present is silent. It took a long time to get rid of it. Everybody says. This one sings so well. If you are engaged in musical instruments, you will immediately use your own musical instruments to play on one side, Zhang Zhimu is beside you, pointing out what is wrong little by little, and after a while, these masters in the music world will be very comfortable playing this melody. Zhang Zhimu told the musicians that those places should be played in unison, those places should be stronger, those places should be weaker, and those places should be highlighted by Jinghu, and finally with the cooperation of the instruments, Zhang Zhimu sang again. Now it works even better. Zhang Zhimu said: "We should also add those chimes, so that the accompanying music is more majestic and the effect is more shocking." "These artists are amazed again and again. I didn't expect Zhang Zhimu to send such a beautiful singing segment. Zhang Zhimu told everyone about the interpretation process of this story. Let's take a closer look at how to arrange it better. Liu said: "Now, everyone has a goal. It's easy to do with direction. Leaving Liu Banzhu and those artists, Zhang Zhimu came to the people brought by Lu Qi again, and it happened that Lu Qi was here. Lu Qi introduced several capable people to Zhang Zhimu, especially when he introduced an old man named Liu Bensheng in his fifties, and said: "You used to say that I was a good player, but if I was compared to him, I would be nothing." Zhang Zhimu said: "Tomorrow there will be a start to build a house." It's also the time for everyone to show their skills, so let's go over tomorrow first. ”

When leaving the courtyard of the Huwei Dart Bureau, Zhang Zhimu instructed that more rice should be made and less noodles should be made, southerners like to eat rice, and the food must be better. Little Ruby kept sending the two of them to the door. After leaving, Huang Yukun said, "That little Hongyu, I can't wait to go with you." Zhang Zhimu said, "Really? Okay, why didn't you say it? If you say it, I'll take her with you. The two laughed and went out of the city, and when they reached that place, Zhang Zhimu drove the car off the road and walked towards the grove. Huang Yukun deliberately asked: "You are not walking on the road, what are you doing here." Zhang Zhimu said: "You'll know in a moment." ”

Of course I know, the two of them are already familiar with the road here. At this time, the two have not been together for a long time, and there is no need for too long to prepare. The fire was just a little bit of firewood, so the two went straight to the point. After the two of them enjoyed a lot of human fun. Zhang Zhimu said: "When I have a clue this time, I will tie the knot." Huang Yukun said: "Okay, I don't want to be so sneaky anymore." Zhang Zhimu said: "You are wrong. People say that this kind of thing, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing. Hearing this, Huang Yukun laughed and said, "It's better not to steal it!" Ha ha! Where did you learn it? Zhang Zhimu couldn't say that he saw it on the Internet in his previous life, so he had to say nothing.

Back at the kiln, I saw that a few women had just come back from digging wild vegetables, Zhang Zhimu saw that there were a lot of dandelions, and saw that there were two bigger than the others, so he took them out, and saw that the wild vegetables were dug up, and the roots were very small, but there was still a little. Zhang Zhimu used his fingernails to pinch a piece of it, and a lot of white pulp immediately emerged from the roots of the wild vegetables, and he pinched the white pulp with his mother and son and index finger, and then opened it to feel very sticky. Zhang Zhimu said: "Tomorrow I will go up the mountain and organize people to dig up a few more baskets of this kind of big wild vegetables, and I must dig up the roots back, I only need the roots, not the leaves." "He knows that there is rubber grass in the north and rubber trees in the south. If this is rubber grass, it would be great.

Zhang Zhimu handed over the construction of the house to Chen Yufeng, and went to Li Yunhe and Lu Qi to draw a sketch. Let them make a "straw kneading machine" as soon as possible. This machine is required to be able to cut the straw into thin strips and knead it into soft filaments. The basic principle is that the machine is driven by animal power, and after the straw is fed in, it automatically follows the direction of the straw, cuts it into thin strips, and then rolls and kneades the strips into soft filaments through a fence-like mechanism, and finally cuts it into an inch long. This thing is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do, Li Yunhe and a group of people, studied for a week before finalizing the structure and began to make products.

Here, Chen Yufeng commanded Lu Chengxiang and others to hit the back of the head with their busy feet, and first built a pig pen, chicken, duck and goose pen to settle down these guys who squeaked and screamed all day, so that the kiln gang was quieter. Huang Yukun said: "Brother, you get so many guys, but you have to open your mouth to eat, and the amount of feed on this day is not small." Zhang Zhimu said: "All we bring back is husked rice, and now we will arrange people to grind the rice, so that the rice bran is a good feed." And crush all the zeolite I brought back into powder. In all the feed, add four to five catties of zeolite powder per 100 catties, so that pigs grow more fat and chickens, ducks and geese lay more eggs. Huang Yukun said: "I haven't heard of it, there are stone powder added to the feed." Zhang Zhimu couldn't tell her that this was the experience of his previous life, and there were various trace elements in zeolite powder, which could improve the feed conversion rate by more than ten percent, so he said: "What I shipped back from thousands of miles is not an ordinary stone, this is called zeolite." You feed it as I say and see how it works. Zhang Zhimu knew that no matter if Huang Yukun didn't understand it, he would do what he said.

Originally, Zhang Zhimu wanted to build a school and start education first. But Chen Yufeng said: "Don't make it too big all at once." For the scholars and actors from Jiangnan, building a few more big houses and settling down people is the immediate thing. Zhang Zhimu nodded and said, "Okay." But the auditorium I'm talking about must be built, and don't forget, a big stage must be built in it. We have a lot of people now, and it's usually a big canteen for eating. It can also be used as a meeting venue when there is a meeting. You can also perform opera here. ”

Zhang Zhimu came to Li Yunhe's workshop and saw that the workers were busy with their heads, Zhang Zhimu didn't see it when he came in, even if he saw it, he also looked up, and then he was busy with himself. Li Yunhe has changed the original wooden lathe to a cast iron base, and the transmission part has been changed to steel. Accuracy and efficiency have been greatly improved. Power, some larger beds can even be driven by two cows. From a distance, I saw that Li Yunhe was leading a few people to be busy, probably working on a straw kneading machine, and Zhang Zhimu withdrew without disturbing them.

As soon as I went out, I saw Lu Chengxiang sweating profusely leading a team of carriages, pulling bricks and tiles to come back soon. Zhang Zhimu said: "Mr. Lu, just arrange for others to go to these things, why bother such a big leader as you to go in person." Zhang Zhimu's joke contained love, and Lu Chengxiang was very useful when he heard it. Zhang Zhimu raised himself very high in his words, and Lu Chengxiang thought to himself that he would make a joke about Zhang Zhimu, and it was worth a trip. He said, "No, it will cost a lot of money, and I don't feel at ease if I don't go." Zhang Zhimu said: "The children are not around, so you have to take care of yourself." When the houses are finished, we will build a few more villas and take over the families of the leaders. Men can't do without women to take care of them. Lu Chengxiang listened to the warmth in his heart and said: "Look, I feel like a young man now, full of inexhaustible energy." The food I eat here is probably the best in Shanxi. Zhang Zhimu said: "After the materials for building the house are pulled, I have to pull some more green bricks back." ”

"How much more?"

Zhang Zhimu said: "Then forget it." I will dig a pit twenty-five meters long, five meters wide, and five meters deep, and the pit will be covered with green bricks around the perimeter, and the bottom of the pit will be covered with green bricks. Twenty such pits. You look at how many bricks you want. In addition, the top of each pit should be covered with mats and tarpaulins, and you can see how many tarpaulin mats you need. Lu Chengxiang was good at this, and he didn't ask much about things he didn't understand, and said, "I'm going to ask the bricklayer about this." I'll know the mat and tarpaulin as soon as I count it. At this time, Chen Yufeng happened to come over, and Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Chen, you and Mr. Lu will divide the work in your hands into one point, and you still have to grasp some big things." I want to restore the kiln at the back, this big tank is also a good business, and the most important thing is that many things I will use in the future will come from here. In Lu Qi's hometown, I asked if there were any who could burn porcelain, but none of them were less than large vats, we went to find the potters who had worked in the cylinder kiln in the past, and now there are any, as long as there are people who can breathe, we can also invite them with a high salary, and we can guide and guide them on the side. I guess the ones that have burned porcelain will be able to see it at a glance. ”
