Hei Niu was a little puzzled by the question, but he was embarrassed: "Mr. Zhao, my father said that he couldn't marry before twenty." ”

Zhao Xiang patted Hei Niu's shoulder: "Don't call Mr. Zhao in the future, Mr. Zhao, I just told your father, you will call me by my name in the future." ”

"But Mr. Zhao ......"

"Name!"

Seeing Zhao Xiang's serious face, Hei Niu couldn't argue anymore, and said, "I'll call you Brother Xiang, after all, you are so much older than me......"

"As long as you don't call me Mr. Zhao, you can do anything. Where did you just talk about? ”

"Marrying ......"

"Oh, why didn't your father let you marry before you were twenty? I've heard that it seems that many men marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and become fathers at fourteen or fifteen, doesn't your father want to hold his grandson? ”

"I don't know if my father wants to be a grandfather (grandfather), but my mother wants to be a grandmother (grandmother), and she quarreled with my father a few times about this. Once, my mother went behind my father's back to find a matchmaker to introduce a girl in Liushui Village, and my mother found out, so she scolded the matchmaker at that time, so that no one dares to tell me about matchmaking now. After speaking, the black bull looked at the sky gloomily.

Zhao Xiang sighed: "Why do you have such rules in your family?" ”

Hei Niu said: "It's nothing, it's just that my father said that before twenty years is the age to temper the body, and you shouldn't marry a wife and have children too early......"

"Your father shouldn't be thinking about finding you a wife in the Central Plains after Wang Shi Beiding the Central Plains, right?"

"Wife?" Obviously, this noun is not a common word in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Hei Niu didn't understand it.

"It's a daughter-in-law, a wife."

Hei Niu thought seriously for a while: "It shouldn't be, my father named me when to return, it should be just a kind of sustenance, you said that now everyone lives well in the south, and if you go to the north, you can't live even more unsatisfactory, I don't mean that you shouldn't recover the Central Plains homeland, but Zhao ...... Brother Xiang, I always feel that recovering the Central Plains is the business of the official family, and the world is the world of the official family. In the north, when winter comes, everything freezes and everything withers, and if the grain is not harvested, there is not even grass to eat. ”

Zhao Xiang nodded, he agreed with the black bull's opinion.

"But Brother Xiang, do you know, I told my father about this idea when I was a child, and I was almost beaten to death by my father, and I was locked in a tree hole for three days without a mouthful of food."

"You're right, and your dad is right."

"My father said that I was too unambitious like this, but Zhao ...... Brother Xiang, if you want me to join the army and go to the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains, I am willing to go, even if I die, I am not afraid. But if I live, I don't want to go north, I like it here, I can fish in the river and hunt in the wild forest, I feel comfortable living here. ”

For the third generation of people who moved south, Hei Niu has regarded Wutian Village, which is located in the land of Nanban, as his hometown, and the Central Plains, in his impression, is a place where it is difficult to survive in the cold, and it is really difficult for him to have emotions. He told Zhao Xiang all the way the previous story, how he started fishing and hunting since he was a child.

But Zhao Xiang's mind was not on him.

He Defang, a little old man in a tenant village, just refuses to let his son marry before he is twenty years old, which is enough to make him the biggest suspect. When he first woke up, Zhao Xiang was just suspicious, and after chatting with Hei Niu, he had already confirmed this fact. It's just that it can be seen that the three men in black originally planned to steal something and leave, but they didn't know it. But it was so good that Zhao Xiang killed him halfway and came back...... I thought that there was someone to rely on here, but I didn't expect to become an internal thief, Zhao Xiang felt that all he could do was to be on his own precautions.

Walk around the path under the stone peak of Xiaozhi Mountain to the north, is a lively quarry, everyone wears bamboo and rattan helmets, which is naturally Zhao Xiang from the modern era, looking ugly, but it will not be as abrupt as the plastic panel of the helmet.

If Zhao Xiang is allowed to quarry directly in the stone peak of Xiaozhi Mountain, Zhao Xiang will not be able to get this hand, just a large piece of granite with excellent material protruding from the north of the mountain, after a brief discussion, this place will be designated as a quarry - the proposal is still Chunyang, he said that the big stone bag in the north affects the feng shui of Xiaozhi Mountain, and it is best if it can be carved into flat land.

Although Zhao Xiang doesn't understand, he has heard that it is a good pattern to rely on the mountains in the north and the water in the south, but Chunyang obviously will not harm himself, and he happens to lack stones, of course, he is as good as a stream.

The application of modern quarrying equipment has greatly improved the efficiency of mining, of course, the so-called modern equipment, that is, equipment such as diamond diamonds and diamond chain saws, such as detonators, Zhao Xiang can't get - maybe he can, but it will definitely cost a lot of money - money and risk - obviously not cost-effective.

The chief commander of the quarrying is He Defang, an old stonemason who didn't know where to invite, surnamed Shi, who is over sixty years old, but he still speaks and does things vigorously. As soon as Zhao Xiang appeared in the quarry, he was yelled at by the old stonemason: "You two are blind and come here!" Flash me to the side, stoned to death is yours or mine? ”

Hei Niu hurriedly ran over to introduce, but the old stonemason just arched his hand: "I've seen Zhao Dongjia." The tone is a little cold and arrogant, obviously very uninterested in this kind of owner who has nothing to do and runs to the construction site to hinder the work.

Zhao Xiang returned the salute and stood beside the old stonemason and watched the work on the site.

The people were divided into three groups, one group quarrying, one group transporting stones, and one group beating stones.

The quarryman carried the diamond diamond and drilled five small holes in the ink line of the stone, and then the five people picked up the hammer together and slowly smashed the wedge into the hole, and the stone cracked along the line and peeled off the big rock, and a huge stone billet with a length and width of two meters and a thickness of one meter was all right.

Then the people of the stone transport team went over, covered the four corners with huge iron chains, and relied on simple but effective long levers to transfer them to the rail car, and transported them to grinding. One stone is ten tons!

Zhao Xiang asked the old stonemason if the equipment was good to use, and the old stonemason smiled: "Didn't Zhao Dongjia say that it was funny, it was naturally easy to use, if there were no big guys, the manpower would have to be increased tenfold." ”

Zhao Xiang was a little surprised: "You can move such a big stone without these things?" ”

"It's not a problem, just cross some logs, it's just that your gantry crane and rail car are convenient."

Zhao Xiang asked carefully, it turned out that all the equipment he brought was just "icing on the cake", only to improve speed and efficiency, and did not "start from scratch". For example, punching holes in stone can also be done with a chisel, and a skilled stonemason can chisel a stone hole that can be wedged, no slower than an electric drill.

However, Zhao Xiang's previous bursting self-confidence disappeared as early as the first two days of life and death, and after hearing various original solutions, there was nothing to lose.

After the foreshadowing scene was done, Zhao Xiang put forward his own requirements: "Shi Lao, you said that you can dig a big pit on the top of the mountain, I want to build a basement under the house." ”
