The civil works were not delayed by the affairs of the He family, and were carried out in an orderly manner under Zhao Shilu's arrangement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Another unexpected gain is that the master of the porcelain workshop, Fu Lao Jiang, participated in the burning of cement and learned a lot of things, so he was embarrassed to ask for a price, and only charged a small price, so he fired a kiln according to Liu Yao's design drawing.

In the past few days, the Liu family has had a lot of fun in the porcelain workshop. Yao Ying's request was very simple, she burned dozens of large porcelain basins, and she really couldn't stand the wooden basins that looked difficult to clean. Liu Man collaborated with the painter to create several new decorative styles on porcelain that everyone liked, ranging from realistic herbarium drawings to abstract modern art styles. He also made a whole set of cutlery, painted hollyhocks with the same style and different shapes, and left a small handprint on each piece. This set of cutlery has a very good effect after being burned, and it has become a favorite of the family. These designs added a lot of color to the original ordinary porcelain, so that the owner of the porcelain workshop promised Liu Yao that all the porcelain used by the Liu family for their own use in the future could be fired for free in the Fork River Porcelain Workshop without money.

Liu Yao didn't participate in the production of tableware, he burned a lot of squatting toilets, and there were water traps that could seal the smell. He plans to popularize clean toilets in the world, but he does not plan to "invent" flush toilets for the time being, because the production capacity and technical level of the "Fork River Pottery Factory" are too limited.

Twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye, and all the work is below ground level. "How can you build a house so fast! It's been almost a month, and there is no shadow of the house yet. The executive put down a brick, shook his head, muttered to Xiao Man next to the brick pile, turned around and walked down the mountain, and continued his brick picking career.

"yes, Daddy. Why do we burn cement? Isn't it nice to have no cement in the house now? ”

"There is no modern building without reinforced concrete." Liu Yao replied succinctly. "The reason why there were no tall buildings of masonry and no magnificent stone fortresses in ancient China was because there was no cement. The weight of a tall building can crush the mortar that holds the stones in place, making the building unstable. ”

"But we don't need multi-storey houses, and land is not worth much right now."

"Yes. But we need viaducts to build aqueducts. With elevated aqueducts, our arable land can be increased tenfold and hundredfold. A group of children gathered around Liu Yao, listening with wide eyes, and Mei Jiaju also followed behind with a cane. This is their technical class, and today's lesson is to learn construction technology along with the construction process. Liu Yao tries to involve everyone in all the technical processes and let them discover the direction of interest on their own.

"What is arable land?" A big-eyed child asked. This is Zhao Fei, who is especially active in the crowd.

"It's paddy fields and dry land. You can grow crops and have a harvest. The land that cannot be watered and harvested from heaven is not arable land, no matter how fertile. "Xiaoman is almost Liu Yao's teaching assistant, responsible for answering simple questions.

After understanding this concept, Sun Zhuang said to Zhao Fei: "Da Fei, tell your brother to hurry up and get cement." ”

"It's done. The gentleman said yes. ”

"Yes, yes. It would be better if there were steel bars. But miracles can happen without rebar. Liu Yao said softly, looking left and right, touching the children's heads, full of ambition. Zhao Fei was about to ask what the steel bar was, when he saw Sun Zhuang looking fixedly at the intersection of the village leading to the outside world and said, "Sir, there is smoke and dust over there." ”

The smoke and dust soon approached, and it looked like a group of villagers, men, women, and children, and it looked like there were more than a hundred people. Looking at the crowd of people coming over, an old saying suddenly popped up in Liu Yao's mind, "There are hundreds of people, Wuyang and Wuyang". What is worrying is that the crowd of Wuyang and Wuyang are all buried in the path by the Shilu River to the mountains. If they didn't go into the mountains to hunt, they went to the fields of the Liu family.

Liu Yao's brows furrowed, and he asked Zhao Fei, "Is there any way to call the police in our village?" ”

"How?" Zhao Fei also looked at the flow of people walking by with suspicion, and did not react to the meaning of these new words for a while.

"It's like lighting wolf smoke! As soon as they saw the wolf smoke, everyone knew that they had to pick up their swords and guns to fight! Liu Yao patted Zhao Fei on the back of the head angrily.

"No wolf smoke! There are about the same...... Manner! Sun Zhuang hurriedly said, and then asked, "The point?" It's to say that there is wolf smoke......"

"Point!"

"O bandits! Bandits! Sun Zhuang and Zhao Fei shouted and ran towards the center of the village. The other children shouted in the same way and scattered around the village.

"Xiaomei, you take Xiaoman back quickly! If it doesn't work, find a place to hide. Liu Yao hurriedly shouted and ran to the rice field. The people of Meijia Village have been worried that the unusually productive paddy fields will cause some trouble sooner or later. If a few people come to see it from time to time, it's normal, no one has come to see it, and it is really impossible not to worry about the fact that there are so many more than 100 people who come here. Chinese do not have any concept of property rights, do not pull a rice tree back to plant, it will be miserable.

The response mechanism in the village was really efficient, and within minutes, all the men and women of the village came out with knives, guns and sticks. If the child still carries more than one weapon and struggles to follow behind, then it can be regarded as a baggage army. But when the team ran to Liu's field, there was no place to put their feet at all. The narrow edge of the field was crowded with uninvited guests, one by one, stretching their necks and opening their mouths wide to stare at the heavy ears of rice in the field.

"I said Huang Yuanwai, which one are you singing?" Running ahead of the villagers was Li Jiangong. I saw the village chief of the neighboring village in the crowd, a few ups and downs, flew over the head, and landed lightly in front of a fat man, and asked.

"Didn't I hear that the rice in your village is amazingly good and I want to come to see it, and I was excited, so I came in a hurry. It's no wonder if you're offended, it's no wonder. "This so-called outsider is also dressed as a farmer, he is quite fat, and he speaks quite decently.

"Then you come with so many people and don't say hello? Those who know say that everyone is here to see, and those who don't know think what they are doing. Li Jiangong swept his eyes at the crowd and stabilized the crowd first.

"Modo thinks, Modo thinks. Everyone is here to see, just to see. Huang Yuanwai also felt a little abrupt, approached Li Jiangong, and said softly: "I really don't think about it." However, a few people from our village came to this field a few days ago, and they were simply stunned! Look at this tassel, don't you want to be stunned? When I went back, I said, and everyone who heard it came. ”

"Let's go back first! Leave a few people to talk to us, Mr. Liu and Mr. Mei. Li Jiangong was still in a hurry to disperse the crowd. In many cases, just as the line between fishermen and pirates is blurred, crowds can often become restless and dangerous due to the slightest factor. The people who snatch the overturned goods on the side of the highway are usually honest people. If there is a bonsai exhibition in the park, as long as a few people take it out, everyone will immediately rush to grab it.

Mei Xianzhuo also arrived. He arrived late not because he was slow, but because he took time to prepare. I saw that he was wearing leather armor, with an arrow bag diagonally stuck in his back, and a bow in his hand, and the senior executive followed behind, carrying a large knife in one hand.

"Lao Fang, which one are you singing? I thought Miao Min was here, such a big smoke! Mei Xianzhuo slowly disarmed him, without delaying at all.

"I'm sorry, Lao Mei." Huang Yuanwai bowed to Mei Xianzhuo and made a bow. "I'm anxious, I'm anxious, I'm not thoughtful, I can't pay as much as you want. Let's just take a look and see if this rice seed can be used by us? ”

"The people dispersed first! The ridges are all broken. Mei Xianzhuo didn't talk about rice seeds, and stopped to untie his hand.

"It's all good, right? Go back! All my men have been disgraced to you. Huang Yuanwai turned around and waved his hand. The crowd slowly dispersed. Huang Yuanwai turned around and said, "Don't have more, just a few grains." ”

"I have to ask Mr. Liu about this. This is his field, and it is also his rice seed. Mei Xianzhuo finally took off his leather armor, and his clothes were soaked.

Liu Yao watched silently from the side, caught a guy who was watching the excitement with his feet covered in mud, and stuffed him with a hoe: "Step on the broken ridge and leave again." The man looked at Huang Yuanwai and turned back to repair the ridges.

Liu Yao walked a few steps, came to a high place, and shouted loudly: "Everyone from Fork River Village! Everyone is welcome to come to our village! Everyone who comes is a guest, and they can come at any time. Just say hello next time and let me prepare some tea! ”

Everyone laughed, slowly gathered around, and heard Liu Yao asking, "Do you think about this rice seed?" ”

"Very good!" "Never!" "Give me a pound, I can do as much as I want!" The voices of the replies were mixed.

"You all want it?"

"Yes!" This time the answer was very neat.

"In exchange for the rice you planted, how many catties are you willing to exchange for a catty?"

"One hundred pounds!" This time, the answer turned out to be very neat, and one couldn't help but wonder if they had discussed it in advance.

"Okay, just a hundred pounds! Listen, you can all see that I don't have a few rice seeds, and the others are all local rice seeds. This season, I can't plant a few acres of land. I've done the math, and I can plant about 7 acres of land. Everyone has to wait for another season, and when the next season grows, I will leave the seeds of our village, and the rest will be exchanged for you. In other words, when the next harvest comes, you will carry your own rice and come to my house on the hillside above, and I will exchange it with you! Liu Yao said with the momentum of trying to be as good as he could, and pointed behind him with a wave of his hand, and found that everyone's eyes were very puzzled, and when he looked back, he really couldn't see anything, and the house had not yet been erected. Busy embarrassedly explained: "The house is still being built." It's up this slope, up from this road. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere did not get up, Liu Yao added a few more words: "This rice is good, everyone has seen it, you remember not to tell people from other villages." If there are too many people, if you grab it, it will be troublesome. Seeing that everyone nodded one after another, he jumped down with satisfaction and said to Huang Yuanwai: "Huang Yuanwai, do you think this is good?" ”

Huang Yuanwai hurriedly nodded, thanked him again and again, and said politely: "I've seen Mr. Liu." I have long heard that Mr. is both civil and military, and he has a hundred arts. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. ”

Liu Yao said again: "I think you are also a knowledgeable person. You see that today's rice seeds have also fallen, what about our village, chickens and dogs are jumping, and the ridges are also trampled, do you want to express it? ”

Huang Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "If Mr. has any requirements, just put it forward, as long as it can be done, Fang Mou will also do it!" "Huang Yuanwai's righteousness is not like making amends, but like giving grace.

"This old yellow is not a good bird. Decades ago, his father and my father fought for land, relying on winning people's hearts, first engaging in a large number of people, and then pulling Ou Gang, a man who could fight in our village, to win the battle and occupy the flat land over there. Mei Xianzhuo made no secret of his hostility towards Huang Yuanwai, and also deliberately reminded Liu Yao not to be easily fooled.

"Your dad is going to win, and he won't be polite to my dad." The fat man sneered and said, "Besides, we didn't fight back then, and then we were in harmony, are we just a family?" ”

"Okay, if the family doesn't talk to each other, you can send ten laborers to work for me for ten days. Eating is mine, but I will bring my own rice first, and I will count it as you after receiving the grain. Liu Yao offered a bid.

"Family, easy to talk to! According to the rules of the yamen, if you eat your own meal, you don't need to count it, you don't need to count it. Huang Yuanwai behaved very politely and bowed and said goodbye.

Seeing the fat man walk away, Mei Xianzhuo asked with a smile: "You will also take advantage of others." Do you think it's too late to build a house? ”

"Hehe, sort of. This brick and cement is really labor-intensive. But I mainly want to do one thing: I want to raise chickens and pigs. He ignored Lao Mei's strange look, and asked again: "Lao Mei, is it cheaper for me to exchange 100 catties for one catty?" ”

"It's hard to say. This rice seed is priceless! But once it's taken out, priceless treasures are everywhere. Besides, if it is planted, others will steal and rob it, and it will be troublesome if you can't stop it. Mei Xianzhuo said with wandering eyes.

"That's it."

"So you're going to take it out? So if this is sold, everyone will produce more grain, will the price of grain come down? The Ume landlord thought deeply.

"If there is a lot of grain in Hainan, where will it be sold?"

"Guangdong Mansion. Hainan was originally a granary. ”

"Guangdong government collects so much grain every year, where will there be more output of our hundreds of acres of land? It will definitely sell. Moreover, I don't plan to sell it all, I sell some of it, someone will want it, of course, I have to find a good shipowner. ”

"The boat family has. The place where the Shiroku River flows into the sea is the wharf, and there are three large boats running all year round. I know all the people over there. ”

"Are there fishermen and shipbuilders over there? Are there pirates? ”

"There are all of them, fishermen, shipbuilders, businessmen, and pirates. When will I take you to see it? ”
