After a morning of intensive training, the people could barely climb!

When Liu Yuanshan finally disbanded, he said something very encouraging to them: "It's time to eat, it's full at noon, go quickly, but there is meat!" ”

So, everyone was in good spirits again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just kidding, meat, a lot, uh...... I haven't eaten it for years!

A group of people didn't care about the tiredness of their bodies, and hurriedly ran towards the canteen in the temple, Sister-in-law Fan had already prepared everyone's meals, a small bowl of pork belly stewed cabbage for each person, and the rice was full.

These people who have never seen meat all year round, where will they withstand the temptation, holding a coarse porcelain bowl with a gust of wind and clouds, and have a gluttonous feast.

Especially when I ate meat for almost the first time in my life, I almost had to eat the bowl.

Liu Yuanshan didn't disturb them for this meal, let them finish it quietly, and then announced: "In the future, when you eat, start the timer from the kitchen, give each of you five minutes, don't eat if you can't finish it in five minutes." ”

Although I don't know how long five minutes is, according to the boss's urine, everyone estimates that the time should not be too long.

After eating at noon, they were given two hours to rest, Liu Yuanshan went home with a heavy amount of silver, and handed over this pile of white flowers to Liu, who couldn't put it down when he touched it.

"San Lang, come!"

Liu Shi held the silver, moved out a very hidden box in the room, and closed all the doors and windows outside, then opened it to Liu Yuanshan, pointed to a pile of metal with silver and copper plates and said: "San Lang, you see, our family has so much money, your sister and I don't know how much it is, and I don't know how much it is!" ”

As he spoke, he moved the unspent silver in the cloth bag into the box.

Liu Yuanshan looked at his mother's smile and said with a smile: "Mother, you see that you are excited, where have you been?" Later, my son will make you a big bed to sleep in gold. ”

"I don't want it? Isn't it made of gold a bed to sleep, and didn't I create iniquity? Liu closed the box, patted it and said: "Our family doesn't have any money outside Zhao Yuanwai, but these silver and copper plates can also be put on a lot of land. ”

Liu Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said, "When did I feel ashamed, although his girl is good, I am not rare." ”

"You!" Liu took Liu Yuanshan's hand and sat on the kang, chattering endlessly: "That's the daughter of the Zhao family you haven't seen, let me tell you, you weren't there a few days ago, and your sister and I met her. ”

"Huh!" Liu Yuanshan could only deal with it, coaxed the chattering old lady into silence, and then quickly walked out of the room and ran to Qianning Temple, he didn't want to mention Zhao Yuanwai's daughter again.

No more training in the afternoon!

It's good to train a lot, but if you want to train these subordinates like ducks, it will naturally take a lot of food and energy, Liu Yuanshan is not worth a lot now, so he can only work while training.

It is now the slack season, and there is no such thing as clearing wasteland and farming, so Liu Yuanshan took his subordinates to cut trees and trees on the mountain.

Wood is a good thing, in ancient times, it was not only the main building material, but also for cooking, and it was also possible to burn charcoal, and the purpose of Liu Yuanshan's logging was charcoal.

There is no perfect thing in the world, and crossing this thing is not controlled by personal will, Fang County is remote and suitable for development, and the primeval forest coverage rate in the county has reached 80%, but there is only one thing that is not, that is, coal mines!

Liu Yuanshan has investigated that in the mountains of Shennongjia, there are copper mines, iron mines and even sulfur mines, but there are no coal mines.

Coal is one of the pillars of modern industrial development, without coal many things can not be done, the industrial system can not be completed, Liu Yuanshan wants to tinker with some modern products, there is no way, can only find alternatives.

Charcoal is a good substitute for coal, and its calorific value is not lower than that of coal, but it is also difficult to support the industrial system due to the production and source, but it is still possible to make some steel out of charcoal or provide some driving energy to make a gadget.

Like soap.

Osmanthus soap was bought for one or two pieces of silver, which also brought huge benefits to Liu Yuanshan temporarily, but this was not his purpose, what he wanted was to promote this thing while making money, so that ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty could afford to use it.

As long as the demand becomes larger, the profit can be greater, otherwise only a wealthy man in Xiangyang Mansion may be able to make him worry about food and clothing, but it is still far from making osmanthus soap a tool for collecting money.

The bottleneck of demand is in the output, and the bottleneck of the output is in the raw materials and labor, and now the purification of raw materials with plant ash is not a problem, the problem is in the labor.

Every time the oil and lye are mixed, it takes half a day to stir alone, and the efficiency is too low.

Liu Yuanshan wants to build a steam engine to replace human stirring, the principle of the steam engine is simple, and the production is not very complicated, but the production needs steel to drive and boiler, which is inseparable from carbon fire to provide energy.

Moreover, the steam engine has many uses, it is the driving engine of the early industrial society, which can be used to provide kinetic energy, waterwheels, power generation, textiles, transportation, etc., so the steam engine is one of the things that Liu Yuanshan must invent, and the sooner the better.

The long-term plan is naturally to start with the mining of open-pit coal mines, but since we have come to a place like Fangxian, since there are no resources for the time being, we can only go to cutting wood and charcoal, and make our own raw materials.

A dozen and a half young men got up from the bed after a nap, feeling all sore, and every muscle seemed to be unable to lift their strength, but they didn't dare not listen to the master's words. Especially through the morning training camp, they knew the methods of the boss, and at this moment there was not only gratitude and awe but also fear in their hearts.

After returning from work in the afternoon, they couldn't rest directly in the evening, more than a dozen people gathered in the Tianwang Hall after eating, burned a bonfire to keep warm, and by the way, in the faint light, according to the tasks assigned to them by Liu Yuanshan, from numbers to men, they learned word by word.

Without a military force of knowledge and culture, there is no heritage, no tradition, and naturally it cannot last long.

After training for about a week, more than a dozen subordinates began to look like soldiers, and at this time, Liu Yuanshan's two small edamame beans and two melons came over and clearly asked to train with the subordinates.

"Why?" Liu Yuanshan asked.

"Because!" Edamame touched his head and said with a smile: "I heard that when I trained, I had meat to eat at noon every day!" ”

"Poof......" Liu Yuanshan smiled: The temptation to eat meat is so big?
