Chapter 19 Preparations

Alert left the problem to Burhan and left it alone, and in fact Burhan was happy to do so. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAfter all, everyone doesn't know much about road construction, but how can Burhan be better than the ancients with the knowledge of later generations? However, how exactly are roads built? Is it said that asphalt roads are built? But how could there be asphalt in this era! (Burhan had always believed that bitumen was a by-product of the petroleum industry, and he really didn't know that there was a natural asphalt.) )

For several days, Burhan was busy with road repairs. He also has a kind of personal survey of the route, describing in his mind what this "road" will look like in the future, but after all, he has not personally experienced how to build this road and what is the best way to repair it.

In private, Burhan called Guo Wei to him and asked cautiously, "General Guo Wei, do you know how the Han people built roads?" ā€

Guo Wei was also a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly, "Prince Qiqi Bohan, although he grew up in the Han Dynasty, he has never participated in road construction, so he doesn't know much about it!" However, he knew that the Great Wall was built with glutinous rice and stones, and the city walls were made of loess to tamp down the houses of the common people with lime bricks and stones! I wonder if I can help Childe? ā€

"Oh! That's it! "Bulhan was a little disappointed that he didn't get the answer he wanted from General Guo Wei. Seeing that Burhan was depressed, Guo Wei reminded him kindly, "Childe? Why don't you ask Madame, she is well-informed, and she will definitely be better than the last general! ā€

"That's right! How did I not think of that? At the same time, he didn't go home well for a few days, and he missed his grandma and younger brothers, but in fact, he missed the food made by his grandma more.

Eating the food cooked by his grandmother was particularly refreshing, and Bulhan, who was gobbling up, did not notice that his younger brothers were looking at him in surprise. Yang Caini (Burhan's biological mother) stroked Burhan's head and said softly, "Eat slowly, like a beggar who has nothing to eat." ā€

"Woo~ I haven't eaten my grandma's own food for some time!" While talking vaguely, he was still stuffing something into his mouth.

"Hey! People who are only so old are not at home for a day like your Abba, is there really so much going on in the tribe? Grandma used to ask the old gentleman to teach you to learn knowledge so that you can have a good time, but I didn't expect you to ..... Ay! Do not say. Yang Caini knew that it was useless for her to say anything, it wasn't that Burhan didn't want to learn knowledge, but that those pedants didn't have anything to learn.

"Alas! Grandma, I still have something to ask you! "Burhan finished eating, and began today's mission.

"Oh? What do you say, see if Grandma knows. You've been hollowing out Grandma all these years. It can be seen that Yang Caini's love for Bourhan, and she has to touch his head from time to time, which is the true expression of maternal love.

Burhan also enjoyed this kind of life very much, but the affairs of the tribe were really difficult, and there was no time! Just like white-collar workers in today's world, whether to work overtime or not and whether to take holidays is not up to them, in order to make a little trouble, who has the time to spend family fun with their parents every day? No one wants to leave their families and no one wants to work overtime, and it always feels like there is not enough time after work.

"Grandma, do you know how Han people build houses?" Burhan's question made Yang Caini a little stunned, how could her son ask such a question?

"Why do you ask this, is Burhan going to build a house? The Hechiti tribe is a nomadic tribe and it is useless to build a house. Although she didn't know what her son was asking for this, Yang Caini still felt that there must be a place where she could use it, and her son never let herself down, she thought carefully before saying: "Actually, Han people build houses and poor houses can be built with rammed earth and wood, and rich and noble families are more particular." Grandma has never seen others build a house, but she also understands that building a house requires bricks, rafters and triple soil, as for how to change Grandma, I really don't know if you can ask other people, such as Mr. Feng? Yang Caini's answer made Burhan instantly find the bright spot.

"Sanhetu? What's that! Bulhan was a little puzzled, Yang Caini shook her head helplessly, her son has always had to question new things since he was a child.

"Sanhe soil! It is lime, clay and sand that are used to lay bricks, and the good masonry is comparable to stone! But that's what only big families can afford. ā€

"Grandma, will you burn lime?" Burhan was a little playful at this time, Yang Caini snorted and pointed at Burhan's forehead with her shalf onion, "You! When will I grow up, I joked about my grandma, how could my grandma burn lime? Do you want to know that you want to be a doctor? ā€

"Come on! We just have the second brother as a pedant. Zaduro laughed at his second brother Monlik while relieving Burhan.

"Why do you have to get involved with me, it's wrong to read? Zaduro, you don't even know how to write your own name, do you? Monlik's words made everyone laugh, but Zaduro didn't think so, he was going to be a great general.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, this is important to me. How can Grandma get lime? ā€

"No one in the tribe will burn the Han Chinese?"

"No, I've asked."

Yang Caini smiled and said to Burhan: "Why is Burhan, who is usually so smart, so stupid today?" There is no one in the tribe, but there is one in the Ming Court! Go to Ningxia Town, where there are a lot of lime kilns, afraid to find a master who can burn lime? ā€

"Oh! I know, big brother, take me this time, let's tie one up and come back, won't it be over? What are you doing with all this effort? "It's probably that Zaduro has no one to play with him these days, and he is lonely and wants to relax, but if he secretly looks for Burhan, maybe the eldest brother who loves him the most will take him there, but he has to say in front of Yang Caini that it is not looking for death.

The reason why the tigress is scary is because he is so good at protecting her cubs, and Yang Caini's eyes made Zaduluo's forehead sweat break out. "Hey, hey! ~~~Hey! I'm talking about playing, grandma, don't take it seriously! "Zaduro, you can't get out of my sight lately, or I won't take you away. And Monlik, you take him to the lecture these days, Mr. Fei, I'll go and say, how can you learn the name first! ā€

When Grandma didn't involve herself, Burhan decisively left the big tent. While walking, I wondered, should I go to Ningxia Town? Suddenly, he heard a clanging sound from the side of the road, it was the Feng Kee blacksmith shop. Bohan thought about it, he was going to Ningxia Town to find a lime master, so Feng Ji, who used to be a craftsman in Ningxia Town, was the best guide, and at the same time, Burhan hoped to use Feng Ji's relationship to see if he could easily abduct some artisan households to join the Chiti Department?

Burhan walked into the blacksmith's shop, and sure enough, it was a hot scene. At the beginning of spring, the people began to be busy, and the sales of this horseshoe were naturally good. When Burhan entered the inner hall, Feng Ji had already stopped doing it himself many years ago, and his sons and apprentices were the only blacksmith shop in the Hechiti Division. Occasionally, Feng Ji would experiment with several new smelting methods, and Feng Ji became the largest manufacturer of weapons in the Hechiti Division, and both Alert and Burhan attached great importance to him.

"Oops! What kind of wind blew you here today? When Feng Ji's son saw Burhan coming, he quickly put down his work and greeted him. Feng Ji, who was on the rattan chair on the side, closed his eyes and recuperated, immediately got up and respectfully bowed: "Little Lao'er has seen the eldest son!" ā€

"Oops! Old Man Feng! Burhan can't afford it! You are exempt from courtesy. Saying that, Feng Ji welcomed Burhan to the top and sat down, and said, "I don't know what the eldest prince has to do with Xiao Lao'er?" ā€

"Oh! There's nothing to do, I just want to invite you to go to Ningxia Town with me! There, after all, you have to be familiar with something. Now that Burhan had already explained his intentions, Feng Sanhuai didn't say anything more.

"Well, I haven't been back for a while. It just so happened that the old man also took advantage of his hard bones to go back to see his old friends. I wonder when we're leaving? ā€

"This hasn't been decided yet, and I can't make a decision until I ask my father for instructions, so it's probably only a few days!" The next step to get Feng Ji is to get his father Alert, I am afraid that my father will not agree and I am afraid that I will not be entrusted, I am entangled!

In the evening, Burhan slipped into his father's tent, and Alet glanced at him and said, "Burhan! Is there something going on with you? ā€

The one who knows his son best is still him, who is the old man. Bulhan smiled and said with a hippie look, "Isn't that? When you give your son a problem, of course they come to you for help! ā€

Alert put the book in his hand on the desk and said, "Speak! What do you want? ā€

"Hey, hey!" Burhan rubbed his little hands, since his father had already recognized it, then Burhan was not welcome. I believe that if I can get what I want, then the food matter will be solved.

"The child wants to go to Ningxia Town to buy food!"

"Hmmm! Keep talking! Although he said it very plainly, the gesture was sufficient, and Alett was ready to give his son a chance to slaughter him. Without Alett's support, Burhan would not have been able to accomplish this task unless he could spell food out of thin air.

After all, war horses are strategic materials, and the Mongols also attach great importance to them, just as the Han people prohibit the export of iron tools to the grassland, war horses are also restricted from export for the Mongols. Afraid that his father would disagree, Burhan explained, "Abba! I think so, the Han people may not be rare in our gold and silver, but they must be greedy for war horses, and it is somewhat convenient for children to bring war horses over. ā€

"Hmm! Alert pondered for a moment before he said, "Burhan! You know, you are the little master of the tribe. No one can deny that this tribe has had a part of its property yours since you were born. There's no need to ask Abba for what you need, it's up to you! With that, he continued to look at his book.

Burhan stood there stunned for a long time before he recovered his strength, and said happily, "Thank you, Abba!" Before he came out, Burhan was still thinking about it, he thought that Abba would object, but he didn't expect it to be quite easy to speak.

When Burhan was gone, Alert looked at his departing figure and snickered in his heart. The good thing is that my son can now be on his own, and he is getting better and better. At the same time, he felt that it was because of Burhan's excellence that he was qualified to laugh haughtily in front of the other leaders.
