Zhu Zilong arranged for a few salt men and the homeless people in Hainan to go to Hainan together, and they must buy a large number of potato seeds back.

It's just that other high-yielding crops can only be found slowly.

Or has it not yet reached the Ming Dynasty? Then I can only wait for the next time I bring some seeds back from modern times and try it.

As soon as he turned around, Zhu Zilong asked Wang Dayong: "Is the artisan arranged by the chief manager Wang (the chief eunuch of Yantai) and the prefect in place?" ”

"Back to the master, because there are other tasks according to the craftsman system, only about a hundred have been transferred so far."

Zhu Zilong nodded, there are more than 100 self-named types, and it is estimated that it will be enough in the early stage.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "craftsman household system" was implemented in the handicraft sector, and the whole family of craftsmen had to participate in production, and the status was low. The income is relatively low!

What is not valued in the eyes of others is actually regarded as a treasure when he comes here.

Fortunately, from the 41st year of Jiajing (1562), all shift craftsmen levied silver, and the government hired workers with silver. In this way, the shift craftsman actually existed in name only, and those who were subordinate to the craftsman were free to engage in industry and commerce, and the personal restraint was greatly weakened.

Otherwise, Zhu Zilong really didn't have much chance to gather them.

"You've been really tired lately, so go down to the warehouse in a while and get fifty taels of silver as a reward." Also, if you have some free time, keep an eye out for a few drawings I gave you, and look for any products nearby. Before leaving, Zhu Zilong said to Wang Dayong.

Wang Dayong suddenly saluted and thanked Zhu Zilong, looking grateful.

Wang Dayong's recent performance made Zhu Zilong feel satisfied, and he was rewarded for his merits, and selling people's hearts from time to time was also the way to control it.

After a while, Zhu Zilong, who was walking on the edge of the village, looked at the wasteland in front of him.

Countless people, both men and women, are holding hoes, dustpans, and baskets, and are working in full swing!

According to Zhu Zilong's planning map, not only to open up fertile land and ask a water team to fetch water, but also to have barracks, granaries, forage fields, arsenals, and horse farms in the future.

In addition, a few plots of land will be set aside to build temples and shrines that will show military merits in the future, such as Qishou Temple, Xianzhong Temple, Baozhong Temple, etc. In addition, in the center of the main street of each street, there will also be space for the construction of various market squares and torii gates.

When there are more displaced people and good people who can be summoned, Zhu Zilong even plans to expand the nearby road repairs.

Before finding lime ore and making soil cement, it was repaired with bluestone. In the future, when there is soil and cement, just fill in the gap in the road. No need to rebuild the pavement!

Soil cement is very easy, as long as the slag, broken bricks and tiles, shale, lime kiln slag, etc. are finely ground and mixed with a small amount of lime and gypsum powder. If you can have more lime and mix some yellow clay to replace other things, you can do it!

Of course, this is not as good as the authentic cement produced in modern factories, but for an era like the Ming Dynasty when there were no trucks to destroy the road.

Whether it is the road surface, or the house, or the city wall, it is enough to use soil cement!

In the afternoon of that day, it was the day when the tenth well in the wasteland of Zhuangzi came out of water.

The average depth of these wells is about 20 zhang, because Yantai is not far from the sea and has abundant underground water sources. Therefore, the water quality of the well is better than shallow, the bottom of the well is paved with fine sand, the wall of the well is built with bluestone, and the outside is surrounded by gravel.

When the first bucket of water was pulled up, the surrounding onlookers were thunderous for a while, and then tasted it, the well water was clear and sweet, and suddenly smiled!

Many of the homeless people have been trapped in drinking water all their lives, and many of them shed tears when they saw such good water. Finally, he said that he would call these repaired wells "Zilong Wells" to thank Zhu Zilong for his great kindness.

And, in addition to these wells, which are coming out one after another, after these days, hundreds of adult men and women have worked hard every day. Several barracks, warehouses and forage farms on the edge of Zhujiazhuang have gradually become large-scale, although they are simple, but they are better than living in grass nests.

So, under Zhu Zilong's order.

The displaced people moved out of their nests one after another and moved into the barracks. Coupled with the amount of charcoal sent by Zhu Zilong, it is estimated that it will not be too cold in winter.

Hundreds of displaced people can eat dry rice every day, and they can also eat a ton of meat every two days or so. After these years of recuperation, everyone's mood has improved a lot, although most of these men and women are old and weak, but it is undeniable that they are very motivated.

Moreover, when he looked at Zhu Zilong, his eyes were basically full of gratitude!

This is exactly what Comrade Zhu Zilong needs!

In addition, the so-called idea of making a full show, Zhu Zilong will take time out every two or three days to go out in person. Like the homeless, sweating like rain in the fields.

Zhu Zilong's hard-working style immediately impressed everyone.

In addition to being surprised, in addition to some surprises, some moved, I feel that it is really rare for a Shangguan like Zhu Zilong to be seen. Naturally, no one dares to be lazy in the back!

Basically, the daily tasks are overfulfilled, which makes Zhu Zilong satisfied, but also extremely generous.

For example, today, he waved his hand again and said to Ma Xiaosan, Liu Yishen and others: "There is nothing to say, just rush to everyone, brothers, send a few more people to the state city." Buy a few big fat pigs that have been killed, and come back, and everyone will have a good meal in the evening. That's it! ”

Suddenly, everyone was overjoyed, and the children drooled, shouting that Lord Zhu is good, Lord Zhu is wonderful, and Lord Zhu is like the golden red sun. (Well, I added the sun.) Embarrassment! ）

Soon, the bricklayers in Zhuangzi set their hands to build the stove, and the half-grown dolls carried bamboo baskets and followed the old men to collect firewood.

Zhu Zilong's sister Zhu Xingyue, who was only about eight or nine years old in the Ming Dynasty, was also a temporary guest of women's representatives. Take many big sisters and aunts, take the key to the granary, get wheat and grind flour.

The whole Zhuangzi people moved, as if they were going to have a little carnival night.

This is probably the so-called "people's heart", right?

Zhu Zilong Mezzi thought in his heart!

Zhu Zilong, who was in a very happy mood, decided to strike while the iron was hot and add a fire to tonight's carnival.

waved his hand and pretended to be the housekeeper Wang Dayong, pointed to everyone and said, "Dayong, you see, what are these people wearing?" Now they are all their own people, and each of your families counts according to the number of people, no matter how old or young, men all want to wear a blue cotton jacket and pants. The women are all made of gray honeysuckle material, I will leave this thing to you, the sooner the better! ”

"In the Zhuangzi, all the mothers-in-law who can needle and thread are gathered, the more the better, and they usually use the night time to make cotton clothes and flat clothes. By the way, there is also cotton, and we must also hurry up to purchase enough. It doesn't matter if you have more, you can't do it if you have less. Just in case the cold of winter comes early, you know? It doesn't matter how much money you have, just do it! ”

Zhu Zilong's exact net worth and wealth now, Wang Da did not have a precise number in his intentions.

But he vaguely knew that the last time Zhu Zilong cooperated with the Zhang family, he got more than 100,000 taels of silver. This time, the goods brought back are stronger than the last time, the so-called family wealth is a true portrayal of Zhu Zilong!

And how much does it cost for these hundreds of people to eat and wear, plus a change of clothes, in a year?

It will definitely not exceed 10,000 taels of silver, and it will definitely be a drizzle for Zhu Zilong.

Therefore, for Zhu Zilong's behavior requirements now, the housekeeper Wang Dayong was very categorical, and quickly nodded and agreed.
