Chapter 273: The Samurai Who Robbed Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
The small iron rod on the head of Lu Wende's coiled dragon stick is equivalent to a twenty-pound iron hammer, and the striking force is not much greater. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
All you hear is "duang!" With a bang, the big cement brick just dropped some debris and fell to the ground.
Lu Wende threw down the coiling dragon stick in his hand, squatted down, and looked at it carefully, yes, if it was an ordinary city brick, it would have been broken a long time ago.
The plasterers were also delighted when they saw it, and said, "It has only been dry for two days, and the instructions say that if you water it from time to time, it will only become stronger and stronger!" Moreover, it is even more useful to use this object to lay bricks and plaster......"
Jinghu made Lu Wende look up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Hahaha, it is God who has come to help me Lao Lu Bucheng, and has repeatedly helped me Xiangfan and the two cities!" ”
The sixth brother Lu Wenhuan was also overjoyed, and he said to the plasterer: "Those ...... Cement, can be used in a city? ”
The plasterers arched their hands and said, "There are not many of them...... It is unbearable, as he said, it can be a city wall......"
Lu Wende was furious and said: "Those outsiders on Liuqiu Island are incompetent and virtuous, but they can make this thing. ”
A plasterer said: "I heard that it is feasible to have volcanic ash and lime together, and then use a few cold water stones to supplement them...... Where do I have volcanic ash here? ”
What kind of bird is volcanic ash?! Are there still volcanoes in this world?!
Lu Wende pointed at those plasterers with two fingers like halberds: "Wait for the whole family to go to sea and go to that Liuqiu Island to burn cement for my Xiangfan two cities!" ”
The plasterers were startled and said, "The chief treasurer has arranged for more than 1,000 people to go to ......."
Lu Wenhuan shook his head and said: "Where is it enough for 1,000 people, move another 3,000 people, and 300 craftsmen used to specialize in firing cement...... This thing can be used not only on the city docks, but how about paving roads? ”
Everyone immediately started to make up for it. It is very useful...... Lu Wende said first: "The words of the sixth brother are very reasonable, but build a fortress in the middle of the river and set up a few stone cannons. ”
The plasterers felt miserable. I'm afraid that they will really be moved to that Liuqiu Island to suffer, but here, where do they dare to disobey the order of the Jinghu Envoy?!
Later, Zhang Guoan found that he still underestimated the business spirit of the Great Song people...... In this era, a single woman dares to travel thousands of miles to do business, even the little Shen Qianqian is ******** to do business, and always wants to go to the Great Song Dynasty to sell stinky dried tofu. It is asserted that it will make more money than the marinated goods, because the cost is low.
The Lu family's investment in Liuqiu Island is huge, and those merchants, even if they are all combined, are not enough to see.
In just three months, their addition has made the Badaohe area artificially doubled, and it is already the scale of an inferior county!
Although the behavior of Lu's firm exceeded Zhang Guoan's imagination, but. Fortunately, he also had a plan at that time, and some of them were arranged by him in a river area. Let them build a cement kiln or a brick kiln of volcanic ash on the spot upstream near the volcanic community, which is decided by their own craftsmen, and they have been told how to burn it, which is no different from burning lime, and they will quickly understand it. He doesn't need to worry about it.
Fortunately, there is also rice and vegetables in the Yihe area, which is enough for the people there.
There are also some people who have crossed the sea by themselves, and they don't need to be managed, so naturally there are workshops to take them in.
Not only are houses under construction, but factories are also being expanded.
What makes Quiet happy. One after another, women crossed the sea to find work...... Without him, it has been rumored for a long time that female workers here are well paid.
Zhang Guoan also joked with her, saying: "Be careful, be quiet, wait for those female workers to have the skills of manpower spinning machine and manpower loom, as well as the manpower hand towel machine and sock machine, they will definitely be able to bring it back to their hometown......"
At this time, if Huang Daopo, a woman with a hard life, was real, she had already gone to live in Yazhou City, Hainan alone, for three years.
She has been living in a Taoist temple that has the function of sheltering and displacing the dejected, and has been receiving relief from the Great Song Dynasty government until she has the ability to stand on her own.
The Great Song government spent materials and money on her, but she also brought advanced spinning and spinning methods to the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Huang Daopo gave the cotton ginning method of the Heli people, invented a new ginning car, and also created a three-spindle foot spinning wheel, instead of the past single-spindle hand-spinning wheel, the foot spinning three yarns, fast speed, large output, which was the most advanced spinning wheel in the world at that time, it was really a great technological revolution.
She draws on the traditional silk weaving technology, absorbs the advantages of the Li people weaving "Yazhou quilt", creates cotton weaving techniques such as wrong yarn color matching, heald thread and flowers, and weaves quilts, mattresses, belts, silk (hand towels), etc., with folded branches, regimental phoenixes, chess games, words and other patterns, bright and picturesque, for a time to make the "black mud trail quilt" famous throughout the country.
…… It's just that all this cheapens the Tatar bandit group.
There has never been a dynasty that has treated the wandering members of society so well as the Great Song Dynasty!
Therefore, their technology of spinning four blooms at the same time will make the textile women pay more attention, and if they don't get it, someone will bring it back.
Quietly smiled and said, "It's almost, it's really careful...... Let's go to school, and when we go home, we will also make a living, and we will be all water-powered spinning and weaving in the future! ”
Of course, there is more than this, Zhang Guoan began to feel melancholy, if his friend did not come back, he would try to make a steam engine by himself, the early one was not difficult, but now the project of firing glass has been put on the agenda.
The three-year contract has passed halfway, and I have to give an explanation to Da Song.
Quietly leaning on Zhang Guoan's arm, he said, "Don't be anxious...... You're in control......"
A good woman, a casual word can give her man endless encouragement!
Yes, everything is under his control!
Zhang Guoan is and will be the owner of this Liuqiu Island, and everything must be done at his own pace......
At this time, the crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom came to Zhang Guoan to tell him.
It turned out that after the Ryukyu Kingdom unified the three kingdoms, many of the islands of their Kitayama Province were repeatedly invaded by the samurai of the Satsuma Domain of Japan, especially after they heard that the original Kitayama Province was rich in potatoes and sweet potatoes, so they robbed even more.
Zhang Guoan almost wanted to laugh, if he wants seeds, you can buy them from me, even if you go to the Ryukyu Kingdom...... Why rob it?
Just to grab potatoes and sweet potatoes and die?!
The crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom said sadly, "Since ancient times, when the crops are ripe, they have repeatedly come to Kitayama Province to rob ......"
Zhang Guoan asked curiously, "Are they really samurai?" ”
"Yes, with a sword in his hand and a bamboo armor......"
Well, Zhang Guodian had no choice but to listen carefully to him about these samurai. (To be continued.) )
