Chapter 114: The Zhao Family's Speculation (Explosive Update 5)
The matter was settled, and Liu Yuanshan took the people back to the mountain happily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone thought that he was collecting feces, urine and manure to fertilize the fields, even the family and Second Uncle Mao thought so, and found Liu Yuanshan one by one to ask him what was going on.
Especially the old mother Liu, who was simply persuaded by her heart, said to Liu Yuanshan: "San Lang, I know that you want to farm and want to plant our 100 acres of land well, but you are not a cropper, and you don't know the Tao here. ”
Second Uncle Mao also came to persuade him, although he was a little tactful, but the general meaning was not bad!
The general implication is that the cost of farming is too high to be affordable.
Liu Yuanshan just smiled, but didn't say anything.
Of course, he collects feces, urine and feces not only for the purpose of fertilizing the fields, although the land is important, but in the eyes of him, a modern person who has crossed over from the commercial society, the importance is only average.
Having money and power is the key.
However, the value of this and urine cannot be revealed to outsiders in a short period of time, otherwise it will be fatal.
Recently, many wild beasts in the winter mountains have awakened and searched for food, and many of them have even run to the village with the courage to hunt.
Liu Yuanshan takes people up the mountain to hunt every afternoon, one is enough prey, and the other is that the hunting technology of the people has made great progress, and now every time he goes up the mountain, he can bring down a lot of meat, and sometimes he can plunder enough food for more than ten days to go once.
In this way, there is no need to go up to the mountains to hunt every day, and the free time can be used to do a lot of things.
For example, the day after collecting feces and urine, Liu Yuanshan took his subordinates to do another thing.
Halfway up the Bald Mountain, find a shady place with a sunny back, and then plan out several plots of land twenty steps long and three or four steps wide, and order people to remove the floating soil on the plots, and then dig half a meter deep to form small ponds.
The bottom of the pond is filled with 20 centimeters of clay, which is used to repel water.
On top of the clay, a layer of green bricks is covered, and the pieces like the floor are spliced together to seal the bottom of the entire pond, and the gaps between the bricks are also filled with clay caulking as much as possible, and the whole pond looks very regular like a basement with a floor.
"San Lang, are you going to build a house?" Second Uncle Mao also came over to help when he was fine, and it was quite strange to see these things built by Liu Yuanshan.
If you want to build a house, you don't do it, but if you don't build a house, do you want to build a pool?
It's not for fish farming, but even if it's for fish farming, it's too shallow, right?
"Hey, hey, not building a house!" Liu Yuanshan smiled, he was extremely honest, but he didn't say what this thing was for.
"Let's go, let's go down and carry a piece of sand!" Liu Yuanshan personally led the team, each holding a bag, and using pure manpower from the bottom of the mountain, carried the coarse sand to the mountain, and poured it next to those pools.
"Spread all the sand on the bricks, and spread it evenly!"
As a result, a layer of coarse sand about 10 centimeters thick is almost laid on top of the green bricks, which looks even more weird.
Seeing this strange thing, Second Uncle Mao's eyes flickered, and he kept guessing, and finally thought of a possibility, but it was only a moment later, and he denied it himself.
How can it be?
Saburo is still young, a child, and it is impossible for him to know that thing!
Besides, it's useless for him to ask for that thing, is it!
Second Uncle Mao was selectively blind, and it didn't take long for something he thought was impossible to appear.
The words are divided into two ends, Liu Yuanshan's action of collecting feces and urine in Liujia Village has attracted the attention of many people, one of which is the Zhao family of Zhao Wangzhuang.
The Zhao family's mind is really not covered, after the news of Liu Yuanshan's collection of dung reached their ears, after the analysis and judgment of several giants, they denied the possibility of him fertilizing the field.
The westernmost part of Zhaowangzhuang is a large courtyard with six entrances and six exits, all kinds of flowers and trees are scattered next to the courtyard, and there is a special garden behind it, among which the curved pond flows, the rockery treasure tree, countless.
At this moment, the west wind is withering, although the flowers and trees in the garden have become dead grass, but there are still some special flowers and trees competing to bloom, there is a trace of spring, the westernmost end of the garden is a small two-story attic, and it is also the residence of Zhao Shiheng, the old man of the Zhao family.
At this moment, Zhao Shiheng was sitting in the warm attic, looking at the post road not far from the west window, while drinking tea, looking quite leisurely.
Behind him stood his second son Zhao Heng, dressed in white, with the appearance of a handsome son.
"You've done a good job!" Zhao Shiheng took a sip of tea, turned around and put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said: "His family just entered another batch of subordinates from Xiangyang some time ago, and at this moment, he is buying those filthy things, it seems that he wants to make osmanthus soap in large quantities." ”
"So, Daddy, what do you mean?" Zhao Heng asked cautiously.
Zhao Shiheng smiled slightly, walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, pointed to the opposite seat and asked his son to sit down, and said: "Yes, I suspect that this filthy thing may be one of the main materials of the osmanthus soap, but it is unknown what other items are needed." ”
"Yes!" Zhao Heng frowned, and then continued: "There are only two families on the mountain, and most of the descendants of the Liu family are purchased from outside, so it is quite difficult to find out what this osmanthus soap needs!" ”
"It's okay!" Zhao Shiheng waved his hand and said: "He lives in the mountains, once he wants to produce in large quantities, he will definitely buy materials from the outside, this matter is impossible to hide, we will find out from the periphery first, and then send someone up the mountain to peek, this matter is not difficult." ”
"But, Daddy, in case Liu Yuanshan finds out, he is ...... with the palace!" Zhao Heng was quite worried, if the matter was revealed, it would do them more harm than good.
"Humph!" Zhao Shiheng snorted with a smile, looked very happy, and said: "This Liu Sanlang went against me last time, and it is already a great grace that I didn't care about it, and it stands to reason that he owes us a favor first." ”
"Besides, as far as I know, Liu Sanlang is doing things quite strangely, he has no intention of taking the imperial examination." Zhao Shiheng's eyes were full of light: "A talented genius, if he doesn't take the imperial examination, is like an uncarved piece of jade, thrown into the furnace with a stone, no matter how talented he is, he will be lost to everyone!" ”
"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it......" Zhao Shiheng is in his chest.
"Oh!" It was the first time Zhao Heng heard the news, took a deep breath and thought about it carefully, and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid King Xiang won't look down on him, then it's really not a worry." ”
"By the way, Heng'er, your second uncle will come back in a few days, and he will prepare outside the house, and he said in his letter that there is a major matter related to the rise and fall of the family to discuss with me, and you and your eldest brother should not go out for the time being!"
"Yes, Father!" (To be continued.) )
