Once everything is on track.

Tang Xidong, who suddenly felt that he had nothing to do, was ready to go to see the progress of the construction of various parts of the cottage.

With his second son, he first took a turn in the village, looked at the condition of the old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind in the cottage, and then looked at the children who were centrally guarded, Tang Xidong secretly calculated in his heart, and had some thoughts in his heart.

For example, the cottage actually needs Lang Zhong with excellent medical skills, and it also needs a reader who can teach children academically.

So Tang Xidong took his second son and hurriedly went to find Liu Lianqing, only to find that Liu Lianqing was not there, thinking that he should have gone to other places, so he walked down the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, hundreds of people are building earthen greenhouses on the terraced fields that have been reclaimed.

The long terraced fields look bigger than Tang Xidong expected, nearly 1,000 acres, flat and neat, looking up at the foot of the mountain from afar, it is like wrapping four scarves around the mountain. This is also with the help of the gentle slope of the mountain, in order to reclaim such a regular terraced field, adjacent to the first row of terraced fields on the greenhouse construction, it seems that more than half of the progress has been carried out, it will not take two days to complete, the personnel increase, the progress is also faster, after the completion of the far greater than the top row.

With these lands, combined with their own design, even if the yield per mu is not ideal, it can also solve the problem of eating for the cottage population.

Tang Xidong did not find Liu Lianqing in the busy crowd, and asked the supervision team, only to know that Liu Lianqing went to check the progress of drilling the well in the middle of the mountain.

So Tang Xidong took his second son and continued to go down.

The wells were dug on the edge of the terraced rice fields, and were arranged vertically along the hillside, so they were afraid that they would not be able to get water, so they had to get as close as possible to the lower ground.

When Tang Xidong came, he had already seen several wellheads exposed, and it seemed that they had not been able to draw water.

The groundwater is not so easy to fight, and Tang Xidong does not understand the location of the water source, so he can only let people touch it blindly.

Liu Lianqing's figure appeared a little lower, Tang Xidong had already seen her standing there, Xiao Qian standing beside her, and a man talking something.

The cold wind blew her hair, her tall figure, and her vague but clear face, which was beautiful!

As soon as Tang Xidong appeared, Liu Lianqing saw him, stretched out his hand and signaled, and Tang Xidong walked down.

The soil dug out of the wellhead was piled up everywhere, and Tang Xidong looked down at the road under his feet.

Suddenly, Tang Xidong stopped, frowned and looked at the mound of dirt under his feet, and then squatted there frowning, reaching out to rummage for something on the mound.

When Tang Xidong was a child, at that time, the ratio of private digging and indiscriminate mining in the countryside was serious. Iron ore, coal......

So in addition to coal mining, he also knows how to open mines, in the pile of soil in front of him, in the middle of the loess stones, mixed with a stream of dark yellow soil, this thing made Tang Xidong's mood instantly excited, this thing is a baby, or an introduction to the baby.

This dark yellow soil, when Tangxi was young, was called mineral mud, and the appearance of mineral mud means that there is a mine underground or nearby.

Tang Xidong suddenly slapped his head hard, he was really confused, he only thought that this Pingyang would be China's coal mining powerhouse in the future life.

In fact, in addition to coal, this place is also rich in iron ore resources, and later generations are also full of mines.

I am in the realm of Pingyang, and I forgot about the iron mine, which is really worth fighting.

If I had this thing, my plans would be expanded again, and I would be able to live a better life in the future.

Liu Lianqing watched Tang Xidong walk down, and then piled up on the edge of the mound strangely, rummaging and searching, and then began to be stunned, with distress and surprise on his face for a while, at this moment Tang Xidong is really like those leather monkeys playing with mud in the village, it is really a little cute?

Liu Lianqing involuntarily walked towards Tang Xidong, and also walked over to see what he was looking for.

As soon as he lowered his body and leaned up to look, he collided with Tang Xidong, who was about to get up.

Tang Xidong felt that his head hit a soft thing, and then his feet were numb and he couldn't stabilize his body and fell to the ground, kicking and stepping on a person's foot, Tang Xidong thought it was the second son standing beside him, but he didn't want to hear a woman's scream?

Liu Lianqing leaned in to look, but she didn't want to watch Tang Xidong's head hit her, and Liu Lianqing, who subconsciously dodged, fell backwards with an unstable center of gravity, but was still slammed into her chest by Tang Xidong's head, fortunately it was not heavy, but the soft and upright baby could still clearly feel the warmth brought by Tang Xidong's impact, and a trace of blush just rose on her face, and she was kicked to her legs and feet by Tang Xidong's outstretched foot when she fell, so the center of gravity of her body changed direction again, and she fell towards Tang Xidong who fell on the ground.

Liu Lianqing only cared about screaming, and fell into Tang Xidong's arms, fortunately, her cheek was planted on Tang Xidong's chest, otherwise she would have broken her appearance.

The cheek leaned against Tang Xidong's chest, and he inexplicably felt that Tang Xidong was not as weak as he looked, and this chest was a little broad.

Tang Xidong looked up to look at the person in his arms, Liu Lianqing happened to look up and secretly looked, so his mouth suddenly kissed on his smooth forehead.

Warm, throbbing, inexplicably touching......

The two of them felt the warmth on the cold ground like that, as if they were stupid.

It wasn't until Xiao Qian couldn't help but blushing and coughing that she woke up, Liu Lianqing held her arm, got up and lowered her head and patted the dirt on her body, but it seemed that there was a lot of dirt on her body, the more she was afraid, the more she was afraid of it, the more her face became redder, and the redder she was, the lower her head was.

Tang Xidong got up slowly, reminiscing about the feeling just now in his heart, and his face was already nonchalant.

What did Liu Lianqing think Tang Xidong didn t know that although the little episode just now made his aging heart soften and throb, it was only for a moment.

Tang Xidong retracted his thoughts and focused on the iron ore he had just discovered.

Iron is one of the most important resources in feudal society, as important as food, because iron is related to war, to national defense, especially in troubled times.

After discovering the iron ore, Tang Xidong discovered a huge fortune, and the treasures of the future generations overflowed from his mind.

With iron ore, you can also make better steel than iron, which is tougher, more wear-resistant, and stronger than pig iron.

Maybe you can build a real cannon yourself?

Tang Xidong knew that the cannons of this era, in fact, in addition to being cast with pig iron, were brass, and brass was more precious, so he was generally not willing to use it to build.

That's more about iron cannons, which are easy to make, but not durable, and easy to blow up.

The reason why the bore is fried is because the pig iron is brittle and hard, and the flexibility is insufficient.

And steel is much better than iron.

Thinking of the earthen steelmaking furnaces or blast furnaces left over from the era of large-scale steelmaking in the countryside when he was a child, Tang Xidong had a little more confidence in smelting steel.

At least I have seen it myself, and I know the structure of the blast furnace and the principles of steelmaking.

Thinking about the fact that he would be able to have a large amount of steel in his hands in the future, Tang Xidong's heart began to tremble with excitement.

It's going to be terrible, it's terrible.
