Although there were many people this time, since there was no snow, the road was naturally easier, and it took more than two days to reach the place where the wild boar was killed that day.

Yang Xi camped on the spot, sent nine people, took a crossbow machine to hunt, specifically responsible for food, five people dug coal, and the rest of the people took axes to cut trees, according to Yang Xi's requirements, one by one, processed wood into the specified size and style.

Only the three carpenters knew what Yang Xi was going to do.

When the first ship appeared, everyone understood that Yang Xi was building a ship. The length of the boat is about seven or eight meters, and the width is about two meters, although the Caishi River is not small, but it is not big, and when you get here, it is only about ten meters wide. Of course, with such a wide river, this boat can still pass, and the key is that the river in many places suddenly narrows or has many obstacles, and the boat is estimated to be impassable.

This has long been within the scope of Yang Xi's consideration.

After more than ten days, Yang Xi divided a full fifty people, led by Guanxi, all the way down the river, took tools, and was specifically responsible for removing obstacles in the river and tidying up the river.

The obstacles are relatively easy to remove, and they are nothing more than some huge tree trunks, which are dumped in the river, and some trees that are by the river, stretching their branches and leaves into the river.

What really hinders the boat is that there are two river channels, one is narrow and difficult to turn, and the river needs to be dug wide, and the other is wide and shallow, and there is a section of the river that is seven or eight meters long, and there are many stones. This place is the most complicated, Yang Xi devised several schemes, and finally chose to dig a river directly next to it. The dug river channel is not wide, only four or five meters, and the depth is more than one meter, and finally it is dug from the upstream and released directly, so that it is enough for the hull to be two meters wide to pass.

Fifty people dug for four days before this section of the river was opened, and these fifty people, under the leadership of Guanxi, returned to the Chenhe factory, which was already more than ten days later.

At this time, more than 20 days have passed since the training.

With an order, eight small boats, under the control of more than two dozen people, began to set sail. Yang Xi stood at the bow of the boat, and suddenly had a sense of pride and ambition, he wanted to pirate a poem, but he found that it was useless to pretend and force, and no one could understand it, so he simply forgot it.

All the way down the river, but it is almost the same as walking, but if you can't do it, you need to rest, but you only need to change people to operate a bamboo pole.

Yang Xi silently calculated, each boat can carry 500 kilograms, a total of 4,000 kilograms, four tons, you can do a lot of things.

And this boat, that's money, a boat must be worth at least five thousand dollars, worth a slave.

Some people live by fishing, and a boat is the property.

After a few days like this, Yang Xi finally returned to the Chenhe factory, and at this time, he saw that Cai Kao was leading the first person to do combat training, and Yang Xi was also quite satisfied.

There are still three days before the moon is full, but Yang Xi feels that he must do one more thing in three days, so he called Cai Kao, and the two of them summed it up, Cai Kao really did not expect Yang Xi, and when he saw Yang Xi's design, he immediately understood.

What Yang Xi asked Cai Kao to do was actually to produce lime. Lime production is the laying of limestone and wood in layers, ignition and calcination, about a week, this is the oldest lime production process. Of course, it's not that Yang Xi doesn't understand modern production processes, such as shaft kiln calcination, so that it only takes a few hours to burn lime. However, although it is simple to make a shaft kiln, it requires cement.

Where does cement come from at this time, of course, it is also simple to make cement, that is in later generations, a stone crusher is needed to grind limestone into powder, which is impossible.

Yang Xi felt very depressed, this era is too backward. But if you don't lag behind, where do you have your own opportunities.

Although depressed, he was unambiguous when he started to do things. Next, he called the second master, Master Lu and Yang Xiao again, and gave the three of them a task.

"This thing is called a water mill! You can use water to pound rice and anything else that needs to be mashed, of course only for things that are not too hard, and it is not okay to mash stones! Once this thing is made, it can work day and night, as long as the water does not stop, it will not stop, and of course it will be controlled. ”

The water mill was invented in the late Three Kingdoms period, and Du pre-invented the Lianji mill in the Jin Dynasty, and Yang Xi used the drawings of the Song Dynasty, which is already the most advanced machine without iron parts.

Seeing the stunned looks of the three masters, Yang Xi didn't care and continued to explain. This huge water mill can be used day and night to scoop rice, and the bran of the rice is removed, which can be regarded as a large rice mill.

Yang Xi's purpose is not to use him to mill rice, of course, now that it is made, it will be used to mill rice first.

After arranging, Yang Xi took a deep breath.

"Everything is ready, people, bamboo, lime, water, as for the other wooden barrels or whatever, don't be too simple. This is bamboo paper that has been rampant for hundreds of years, and now it is about to appear in advance. No matter from the price, the quality of the process, will meet any writing requirements, several levels higher than Cai Hou paper, is a little, it is too early, spring bamboo shoots have not yet grown, and there is no bleach, otherwise brother will make high white paper for you. ”

No way, it's only January now, spring bamboo shoots generally begin to be unearthed in mid-February, and it will take at least ten days to grow to the point of spreading leaves, and it will take at least ten days, and in March, Yang Xi doesn't want to wait for two more months. Because the bamboo is soaked in water and mashed into pulp, it also takes more than 100 days.

That's why Yang Xi had to train everyone to cut bamboo from the beginning.

The paper produced by mature bamboo will be a little rough and yellowish, but compared with the current papermaking process, it must be advantageous, Cai Hou does not know the chemical reaction of putting lime in the pulp, as for the specific process, it is unimaginable in this era.

On the third day of February, it was already the last day.

Yang Xi was present in person, and Cai Kao had already gathered everyone together.

In the square outside the Chenhe factory dormitory, Yang Xi looked at the neat and uniform four rows of large and small, the younger ones were in their teens, and the eldest was almost fifty years old.

Cai Kao shouted: "Report the number!" ”

“1----78！”

Yang Xi nodded to Cai Kao, expressing satisfaction.

"Welcome to Tin Boy!" Cai Kao shouted again, so everyone had it.

"Welcome to Tin Boy!"

Yang Xi walked to the middle and signaled quiet.

"Folks! Thanks to everyone, come to my Chenhe factory to help, today is the last day of combat training, if you want to quit, please come out of the queue and stand behind the team! ”

Yang Xi's words fell, no one moved, and no one even glanced left and right.

Yang Xi was extremely satisfied.

"Good! Now, I announce that all of you present have officially joined the Chenhe factory, and what you represent in the future is the image of the Chenhe factory, and you will have a common name, that is, Chenhe people! ”

Yang Xi has seen too many bloody characters in the future, and this tone doesn't need to be learned, and there is no stage fright at all.

With a cheer, Yang Xi got off the field, but suddenly saw a few acquaintances standing not far away.

The rest will naturally be left to Cai Kao and them.

The person who came was Luo Lan, the head of the Luo family, who brought the big dog and the housekeeper Luo Zhi, and there were Dong Cai and the crown monkey next to him.

"Brother Chenhe! Your action is a bit big, my Luo family seems to be completely in decline compared to you! Although the difference between Roland and Yang Xi is almost twenty years old, where does he dare to use age and seniority to suppress people, strength is respected, and he has cooperated with Yang Xi for a long time and found that this person has no fraud in the slightest, and his personality is different from others, and slowly he has grasped some contexts.

"Where is it, Luojiazhuang is not comparable to us, but the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and many places have to rely on it more. By the way, right now, there is one thing that needs to be discussed with Brother Roland. ”

"Oh? Every time Brother Chenhe wants to talk to me, it's basically a good thing, and this time should be no exception. ”

"Nature is a good thing! Please follow me! ”

Not only Roland, but several other people, including Crown Monkey, Dong Cai and others, also followed.

Yang Xi pointed to a few bent wooden tools lying in the factory and said: "This thing is called Quyuan plow, it looks simple, but it is not simple, but it is also a key part, which needs the cooperation of Brother Roland." ”

"Oh? This thing is called a Quyuan plow? Sure enough, it's a little like a plow, but it's shorter, I understand, you lack a ploughshare, this is very simple, it's a trivial matter, and I have a lot of Luo's family. ”

"It's just that there is a lack of ploughshares, but this ploughshare has to be built according to my requirements, and this is still troublesome Brother Roland. But what I want to say is that this curved plow is twice as deep as Brother Roland's current plow, but the animal power is twice as saving, Brother Roland believe it or not? ”

"Impossible! How can there be such a thing, you say that you can plough deeply, I have some believes, you say to save animal power, but that is a joke. With the same oxen pulling forward, with the same weight, if your plough ploughs deeper, how can it still save animal power? ”

"If Brother Roland doesn't believe it, you'll know if you try it. Brother Roland, what is the price of an ordinary plow? ”

"It's about eight hundred dollars at the moment!"

"Good! I gave this plough to Brother Luo, and I calculated that Brother Luo has only a few hundred acres of fertile land, and as long as he changes the ploughing cattle frequently, the plough is enough. ”

"Give it to me?" Roland was puzzled, but he understood that free things were the most expensive.

"Brother Luo Lan don't be surprised, just send it, there is only one condition, Brother Luo will sell me ten acres of fertile land by the Huangjuting River, and the price will be added to the market price, a total of 50,000 yuan. Of course, if Brother Roland is willing, the ten acres by the Zhushan Pavilion River can also be sold together. ”

"Fifty thousand? Would you like to buy ten acres of land for 50,000 yuan? Roland was even more surprised. If you want to make a net profit of 50,000 yuan, excluding the tenant farmers, it will take more than ten years, and you have to have good weather and no problems with the crops.

This business, ten farm tools are tens of thousands of dollars in vain, and it is one percent higher than the market price, and the other party also took the initiative to propose it, this kind of business, I heard of it for the first time, but there must be a demon when things go wrong, Roland is entangled.
