Li Chengqian did so, what the eldest cousin said has always been correct, Li Chengqian and Li Ke did not dare to hang crookedly in front of the eldest grandson, although they are princes and princes, but the eldest grandson Chong is his own cousin, and his uncle is the most trusted person by his father; Outside, the eldest cousin is the most important person of his father, and they dare not be presumptuous in front of the eldest grandson Chong, both public and private.

happened to meet Liu Weifeng with bangs and bangs, watching next to a steam engine, if it weren't for the steam engine being very hot, it is estimated that these three people could lie on it, grope with their hands, and see how these steam engines work.

"Uncle Liu, are you there too?" The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said with a smile, these people who came to Zhao'an, in addition to the land, if there are idlers in the family, they can also come to do small jobs.

Liu Weifeng's men, women and children, large and small, more than 200 people, can be regarded as a relatively large copycat bandit gang, so some people farm, some people come out to work, and earn pocket money.

Liu Weifeng rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, after all, without the permission of Changsun Chong, they couldn't wait to come over to check these machines, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Changsun, we are just curious, so we took a look." ”

"It's nothing, now is the time to employ people, Uncle Liu, if you are interested in these, just ask, just work here, I will say to the foreman here. What's more, Uncle Liu and a few righteous sons around him are proficient in mechanical techniques, so they must be able to use what they have learned. The eldest grandson Chong co-opted and said, there are really few people who are good at finding things, and good craftsmen are even more difficult to find, if Liu Weifeng and others can get started as soon as possible, it would be great.

"Then thank you Lord Eldest Sun, I and a few righteous sons really like these very much, and I will definitely learn from everyone seriously, and I promise not to be lazy." Liu Weifeng said with a smile, he brought more than 200 people. It has been arranged in the shack, and some old people and children take care of the affairs in the fields, and he takes the young people out to work to earn wages.

The eldest grandson nodded and said, "That's good, now we start building a house, if you have extra money in your hands, you can buy it first; If you can't afford it, you can use the money from the workmanship to repay some of it every month, and pay for it separately. ”

"Thank you, eldest grandson, for the point. Yesterday I saw a few stalls buying houses, and I saw that there were shacks all around, and there were no houses at all, so I didn't believe it, even if I had some money in my hand. Don't dare to spend it indiscriminately. "At this time, there is no concept of off-plan housing, and there is no real thing. How can there be no house.

The eldest grandson smiled. whispered in Liu Weifeng's ear: "Although the house has not been built yet, it is now being prepared, you don't see that trees are being cut down, cement is produced, mud tiles, and bricks are burned." These are used to build houses. Will Lord Ben still deceive you, first served, first served, you brought so many people, and it is not that you have no money. I went to the house first, and I was able to live in the house first. When everyone reacts, by that time, I don't know when you will be able to get the house. ”

Liu Weifeng naturally followed Changsun Chong down the mountain and accepted Zhao'an, naturally believing in Changsun Chong, and the imperial court spent so much effort to recruit An, not to coax them to take some money. It doesn't matter if he spends some money and buys a house, anyway, he still has some silver hidden in the cave of the stockade, and he is prepared for the worst, even if he is deceived, he will not be desperate.

"Since the eldest grandson is so concerned, I can't live up to the kindness of the eldest grandson, I'm going to buy a house, we are here for more than 200 people this time, it is estimated that we will buy a lot of houses, and we will go back at night to think about it." Liu Weifeng thanked him and said that the head of the family, Lord Sun, personally told him about this matter, and it must not be fake.

"You boys work hard, buy a house, work hard for a year, and you can marry a daughter-in-law." The eldest grandson Chong smiled and patted Liu Hai and Liu He's shoulders, these people are very smart, they have learned technology, they are familiar with the road, and they are very fast to get started.

Liu Hai, the five brothers of Liu He still remembered the five girls in Daliu Village, and when they heard this, they had to strengthen the idea of buying a house and working hard.

"Thank you, Lord Eldest Sun!" Several people are grateful, and finally they don't need to appear in front of the world in front of the world like before, and they can finally be frank and open.

Changsun Chong took Li Chengqian and continued to walk forward, and when he arrived at the place responsible for firing bricks and tiles, he said: "The house we are building now takes bricks and tiles as the main structure, combines wood, and changes it into a courtyard house, the main house, and the east and west wings. The northern winter is cold, and the warm kang is very practical. ”

"Ondol?" Li Chengqian was puzzled and had never heard of it.

"It's a bed made of bricks and stones, and a fire can be burned underneath, so it's warm when you sleep." Changsun Chong explained simply.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Li Ke said with emotion, "Cousin, did you learn this from Bagua City?" ”

"Yes, most of the houses in Bagua City are like this. With a fire kang, winter can be better, at most not burning a little firewood. Besides, now every household grows cotton, and the cotton firewood will be just right to burn the kang at that time. The eldest grandson said with a smile.

"Cotton? We covered the quilt last winter, was it made of cotton? It's soft and very warm. Li Ke asked, he was very interested in this.

"Yes, these cottons can not only be made into quilts, but also spun into cotton cloth, which is softer and more comfortable than linen, and the cotton yield is high, after a large number of planting, the price of cotton cloth and quilts will fall, and ordinary people can afford to wear them." Eldest Sun Chong replied patiently.

"Cousin, I've been to a woolen workshop to see it, the machine is very large, and the wool is combed and then woven into wool, which is very heavy and warm. Isn't this cotton, like wool, spun into cotton cloth by machine? Li Chengqian drew inferences from one case to another.

"Of course, I have asked the craftsmen in Chang'an to study the loom of cotton, and a small half of our cotton is used for experiments." Of course, Changsun Chong can't leave this matter behind, with the drawings and the ingenuity of the craftsmen, he will definitely be able to make a good machine on time.

"That's amazing! Cousin. Li Chengqian sighed in his heart, "We must take good care of this year's cotton, and we can't make any mistakes." ”

"Well, don't worry, we have so many people coming out this time, I believe we can complete the task." The eldest grandson Chong smiled, he was thirsty just now and drank too much water, "I'll go to the thatched house!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong walked in the field and saw that there would be a newly built thatched house not far away, and it was divided into men and women, so he went in and released it. Every day, people pour this manure into a septic tank to ferment, so that not only the manure can also provide biogas for the cooks to cook for the small workers, killing two birds with one stone.

When Li Chengqian saw the eldest grandson rushing out, he also released him, and said: "Hehe, cousin, in the past, in your family's Zhuangzi, I can see that everyone solved it casually in the grass, unlike here where the teachers mobilized the crowd and built so many thatched houses. ”

"You kid is stupid, it's all good land now, the dealer hasn't grown up yet, and he defecates everywhere, but he has to be seen ass by people, and you see that there are so many peasant women in this field, and they can't mess around, it's immoral. This manure is very useful, it can ferment and fertilize the field, and the biogas produced can be used for cooking, without firewood, and there are many benefits, you haven't seen it yet, but you will know it later. The eldest grandson said with a smile, I took them to a lot of places and saw a lot of places today, I hope it will be useful to them.

Li Chengqian firmly remembered the words of Changsun Chong, and immediately became more interested in cotton, especially wanted to participate in it, anyway, the machine has not yet arrived, so let's talk about it later.

Liu Weifeng and a few righteous sons and his subordinates in the prime of life worked for a day, and got back five days' wages, no one paid 50 wen a day, and five days was 125, and they sent a total of 40 people to do small work, earning 5,000 wen, that is, five taels of silver.

Although there was not much less robbery and much harder work than before, they earned steadily, and everyone handed over their wages to the hands of the Great Elder Liu Weifeng.

Liu Weifeng got a hint from Changsun Chong today, and he had a plan in his heart to buy a house, but there are more than 200 people in total, how many houses do you have to buy?

There are old and young, plus men in the prime of life, they need to be carefully calculated, otherwise the uneven distribution will cause everyone's dissatisfaction.

"In our group, most of them are lonely old people and children, and there are not many adult men, so we are divided into an old man and a child according to an adult man. The elderly and children first help the adult man, and then the adult man has the obligation to provide for the old man assigned to each family, and has the obligation to let the child grow up, and if he gets married, he must pay for the child to buy a house or build a house or a dowry. After Liu Weifeng thought about it, he thought of this method, eating a big pot of rice, some people will steal and play tricks, but when it is assigned to their own family, it will not be like this.

"Father-in-law, whatever you say is what you say, we listen to you." Liu Hai is an orphan, so he naturally has to support his father-in-law, even if he is given another old man, he can afford to raise him.

"Yes, father!" Liu He also said.

"Some old people who have the ability to work and are not very old will be distributed to you, and some old people who are not able to work will be raised by me and my five righteous sons, and it will not increase the burden." Liu Weifeng thought of the truth, let them pick first, and the rest of the picks were all Liu Weifeng and the five righteous sons.

"Elder, isn't that okay? The benefits are all given to us, and we don't want to go. "A man in his thirties doesn't believe in such a good thing.

"There's nothing bad about it, Da Liangzi, you're not old, when you stabilize you, you can still find a mother-in-law, have a baby, you pick a close old man to help you, and take care of your children in the future, it's better than you being alone." Liu Weifeng said with a smile that he tried his best to arrange everyone in the village, and it was not in vain that these people defected to him. (To be continued......)
