(0181) Unfortunately, it is indeed a little difficult for Liu Baoyu and others to understand their own vision. Their eyes can't see that long-term. In their opinion, when will Fushan City, which is currently less than 20,000 people, become a metropolis with a population of 500,000? A big city with a population of 500,000 is definitely a metropolis, and it is impossible to achieve it without a long-term heritage. Songjiang Prefecture is so rich that it doesn't have a population of 500,000!

Zhang Zhun's attitude is so resolute, it is definitely impossible to change. Liu Baoyu had no choice but to hesitate and said: "My lord, if Fushan City is expanded to the area of Heilong Bay, just paving the road will cost at least thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, and these expenses are ......."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said briskly: "I know." Money is not an issue. There is some money, and it should be spent. I will transfer the funds to you shortly. However, when the money goes down, it must be used in practice. You yourself have to supervise it. Something went wrong, I'm looking for you. Four horse-drawn carriages can be walked side by side on the main road and two horse-drawn carriages side by side on the non-main road, which is the most basic standard and must not be shrunk. ”

Liu Baoyu naturally assured that there would be absolutely no problems, and then he raised another question: "My lord, you mentioned that cement concrete must be used for laying roads, building bridges, laying sewers, and laying ditches...... What is this cement? And how should I use it? ”

Zhang Zhun said: "I will solve the problem of cement. ”

Liu Baoyu then said goodbye and left.

…… Zhang Zhun came to that mysterious valley alone.

Fang Han had already summoned more than a dozen craftsmen to wait here.

Zhang Zhun said straight to the point: "The thing I want to produce is called cement." ”

With the experience of producing glass, Zhang Zhun has more confidence in cement. In fact, compared with glass, the production of cement is much simpler. Cement is not like glass, the requirements for the process are very high, and the technical standards of cement are relatively vague. The cement used to lay the pavement does not need to be very good. After all, there is no such thing as overloading large trucks in the Ming Dynasty. As long as it is a little better than the bluestone pavement, it is already a great improvement.

After listening to Zhang Zhun's explanation, Fang Han and the others felt that it was feasible. Laoshan has limestone, and this ore is everywhere. Laoshan also has some coal, which can meet the needs of firing. The key problems are basically solvable. However, there is one biggest obstacle, and that is the issue of production.

According to Zhang Zhun, cement will be used in the expansion of Fushan City, the construction of the Heilong Bay civilian port, and the construction of the Partridge Bay military port in the future. Moreover, the cement that needs to be used is not calculated in catties, but in kilograms. With such consumption, one or two cement kilns can never meet the needs. The most conservative estimate would require five cement kilns to operate around the clock. The funds for the construction of the five cement kilns, the manpower needed, and the raw materials needed are all quite staggering figures. Does Zhang Zhun have so much money to invest in?

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "I will solve the problem of funds, you just need to do the relevant preparatory work." ”

Fang Han and the others nodded yes.

Zhang Zhun said: "You continue to experiment and improve the quality as much as possible." I come every two days, and if there is any problem, we solve it on the spot. ”

Fang Han and the others agreed.

…… When Zhang Zhun was busy, outside the west gate of Fushan City, two young women quietly came. They disembarked at Black Dragon Bay. Since Heilong Bay was planned as a trading terminal, from time to time, there will be some large and small merchant ships docking in Heilong Bay to load and unload goods. There will also be some outsiders who will disembark here. Some are businessmen, while others are simply here to seek medical attention. Fushan City will not refuse to come to them.

The woman in the lead, tall and pretty, with a little hidden depression and a little cunning. Her appearance is extremely beautiful, her eyebrows are profound, like a carving, her hair is not tied, let it be messy, like a pure gold filament, long and complacent, and the golden thin eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, naturally revealing a vigorous and heroic spirit. However, she was wearing very ordinary home-style clothes, and on top of the clothes, there were a few inconspicuous patches. If you don't look closely, you'll think it's an ordinary peasant girl. But if you look closely, you will find that the quality of the woman's underwear is excellent.

The woman who followed behind was doughy, only about twelve or thirteen years old, her body had not yet fully grown, her eyes were smart and lively, and her dress was that of an ordinary maid. She looked around and whispered with some concern: "Miss, are you really not going to find Miss Xue?" ”

The girl who took the lead shook her head and said, "No." I wonder if she was in cahoots to lie to me. She described Zhang Zhun so well in the letter, it was the first time I had seen it. The abnormality is a demon, of course I have to be careful. Hehe, she Xue Zhidie is shrewd like a ghost, and I, Shen Lingfei, are not bad. Sisi, in front of outsiders, don't talk nonsense, I'll deal with everything. ”

The maid named Sisi in the back whispered yes, but she was a little worried in her heart, let you deal with it, can you deal with it? It seems that you are also coming to Shandong for the first time! Many people say that Shandong and Jiangnan are completely different from heaven and earth, and I hope there will be no chaos here. The fleet and the escort are in the back, and it will be at least five days before they arrive.

The girl named Shen Lingfei looked east and west, and saw everything around her, as if she felt quite fresh. In fact, the road from Heilong Bay to Fushan City is newly paved, and the surface is all gravel, but it is flat, and it is quite comfortable to walk. On both sides of the road, most of them are rice paddies. At present, the rice field is the peak season of growth, and among the green seedlings, there are already a large number of green rice ears. In the paddy fields, the farmers were so busy weeding and irrigating that they didn't even have time to look up.

Shen Lingfei said to herself: "Sisi, do you think there is any difference here? ”

Sisi looked around blankly, and said casually, "It's no different?" Compared with our Jiangnan, it is far worse! ”

Shen Lingfei shook his head and said, "Wrong, you didn't see the idea!" Have you ever seen such a vigorous and hurried military household? Also, the growth of the rice fields seems to be better than that in the Jiangnan area. Didn't you say that Shandong has a perennial drought and a failed grain harvest? It doesn't seem like that! ”

Sisi said with some hesitation: "Maybe." However, we have never been to Shandong, so we don't know the specific situation here! Perhaps, the military households in Shandong are all like this. Or maybe the Shandong region is too big, and this is an exception. Fushan is close to the sea, so perhaps the water source is relatively abundant. ”

Shen Lingfei said: "I want to find someone to find out." ”

Sisi immediately said, "I'll go find someone." ”

Shen Lingfei said confidently: "I'll come in person." Sisi, you don't understand, if you want to understand the situation, you have to find irrelevant people. If someone else takes you to find it, it must be a trap designed by someone else. Well, we'd better find someone who has nothing to do with it. ”

With that, his eyes rolled and he looked around. I just saw a family next to it, in front of the thatched house, there was a yard, and in the yard, there was a lady feeding the chickens. There was also an old man in the courtyard, concentrating on making Maza. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's waiting for them here. Because, the old man and the eldest lady were busy with their own affairs, and they didn't raise their eyes at all.

Shen Lingfei walked over, stood outside the courtyard and said, "Auntie, what are you busy with?" ”

The eldest lady looked up and saw that it was two young girls, and replied casually: "Hey the chickens!" ”

Shen Lingfei and the eldest lady were close and chatted slowly.

The eldest lady is also talkative, Shen Lingfei asked her anything, and she responded one by one.

Shen Lingfei suddenly said, "Auntie, you just said that you just came back from the ground...... And you say that your old man is a military household, do you have your own land? ”

As soon as she talked about this, the eldest lady was refreshed, and said with a smile: "Of course there is!" Not only the old man has it, but I also have it! Five acres of newly allocated land! If it weren't for my own land, what would I be doing so tired? ”

Shen Lingfei became more and more strange, and said, "Auntie, you also have it?" Isn't it only the regular army that has land? ”

The eldest lady said with a smile: "Now where are there any regular troops, Yu Ding or something, they have all been canceled." What's that called? "Family Register Order"! That's right, it's the "Household Registration Order"! It has been announced that all household registrations have been cancelled! Regardless of whether you are male or female, as long as you are more than three feet tall, you will have five acres of land! If you have the ability, but you reclaim the wasteland, the cultivated land you reclaim belongs to you. ”

Shen Lingfei said suspiciously: "So much? Even women? ”

The eldest lady became more and more happy, and said with a smile: "These five acres of land are all my own." With the old man's, three sons, and four daughters, my family has a total of forty-five acres of land! Later, the old man opened up another fifteen acres of wasteland, and if you put it up as a whole number, it was exactly sixty acres. ”

Shen Lingfei was slightly stunned again.

In her impression, ordinary military households basically have no land, and even if they do, it is only a few acres. Shen Lingfei still knows the basic situation of those guards in Jiangnan. Sixty acres, isn't it a little too much? She originally thought that the military household here had three or five acres of land at home, which was already very remarkable. Sixty acres, it's really incredible. No matter which health center you are in, you can be regarded as a relatively solid family.

Sisi interjected and asked, "Auntie, with so many fields, can you be busy?" ”

The eldest lady said bluntly: "Get up early and be greedy for darkness, what else can you do?" Anyway, it's all your own land, who don't you dare to do? It's all your own to do good or bad, can you be idle? That is, I am feeding the chickens, I can talk to you, if I am busy with other things, I have no time to entertain you. ”

Shen Lingfei's eyes blinked, and she asked curiously, "Auntie, have all your children married daughters-in-law?" ”

When the eldest lady talked about this, the smile on her face became even brighter, and she said happily: "I didn't marry any of them before, but I married them all immediately." ”

Sisi asked curiously: "What do you mean that you haven't married a single one, and you're going to marry all of them soon?" ”

The eldest lady said with a smile: "In the past, our family was poor, and no one wanted to marry us. Now, it's not the same. You can all marry. ”

Shen Lingfei nodded thoughtfully.

The eldest lady just finished feeding the chickens, probably in a good mood, so she greeted warmly and said, "That's right! You're from out of town, aren't you? Come in and sit down! ”

Shen Lingfei nodded and said, "I'm from Jiangnan." ”

said, without refusal, he really pushed open the courtyard door and came in.

Sisi looked around and followed in.

The eldest lady took the two newly-made Mazars casually, invited the two to sit down, and said with some curiosity: "It's so far away, why do you run so far away from your daughter's house?" ”

Shen Lingfei said with a smile: "I came to seek refuge with relatives and friends, my uncle is here, and he said that this side is good." ”

The eldest lady understood, and said a little strangely: "It turns out that the situation in Jiangnan is also so bad?" However, if you come to our Fushan City to seek refuge with relatives and friends, it is also a good choice. ”

Shen Lingfei said: "Why do you say that? ”

The eldest lady said with a smile: "There is food, there is clothing, and I am not afraid of tartars!" ”

Shen Lingfei was slightly startled in front of her, and subconsciously said, "Tartar? Where did the tartars come from? The Tartars have come to Shandong? ”

The eldest lady said happily: "It's Tartar!" Those Tartars of Liaodong! But it's not the Tartars from the north! It's those Tartars of Tayokojima! A few days ago, hundreds of them were wiped out by Yulin! All the heads were sent to Jimo County! ”

Shen Lingfei subconsciously said: "Hundreds of tartars? No way! ”

The eldest lady thought about it, as if she wanted to recall something, but in the end she never thought of it, so she had to turn around and say, "How many Tartars did they kill?" Old man, how many are there? ”

The old man who was making the mazar did not raise his head, and replied angrily: "One hundred and ninety-seven heads, fourteen are alive, a total of two hundred and eleven." ”

The eldest lady smiled and said: "It's still our old man who is sober-minded, that's right, it's two hundred ......."

The following numbers were suddenly forgotten, so I had to smile helplessly and say honestly: "People are old and can't remember them." ”

Shen Lingfei was stunned for a long time, and said with interest: "Auntie, can you tell me?" That Zhang Zhun ...... How did you get rid of so many Tartars? ”

The eldest lady went to the water tank next to her, picked up the water scoop, filled a scoop of water, and said, "I'll drink saliva first...... The mouth is a little dry. After working in the field for a long time, I was really tired. Chengzi's little rabbit cub didn't know what the situation was...... Drink your saliva, too. As long as you don't delay your time, the eldest lady will tell you slowly. ”

Shen Lingfei and the others took the water scoop and tasted it.

The eldest lady then said it with a clear eye.

When Zhang Zhun and others eliminated the Tartars in Maojiatun, many military households participated in cleaning up the battlefield. This lady also went to the scene to see it, and she knows a lot of things. Aside from the specific numbers, the others are not too different. If you can't remember something, ask the old man next to you. The old man remembered some details and easily restored the situation at that time.
