Chapter 500: Digging the Cellar (3)
After Zhang's father said the above to Zhang Xiaoxue, his mood was also a little heavy, and he heard his daughter say that he wanted to transform the cellar into an underground secret room, so that people could survive in it and avoid disasters, and he also agreed with it.
"Xue'er has thought it through, I think it's really good to do that, this time with a little more effort, maybe it will be used in the future, no one can guarantee that anything bad will happen in the future.
If it really happens, and the robbers come to attack the village, we can let some old and weak women and children hide in the underground secret room of our house first.
Of course, the healthy men of the right age in the village can't lose their bloodiness so timidly, and hide when they are in danger.
You have to fight hard, otherwise I am afraid that sooner or later someone will discover the secrets of the underground, and all the people inside will become lambs to the slaughter.
It just so happens that Xue'er took out so much iron ore this time, I estimate that I can't use up the tools used for digging, so I just let Da Tie and them finish making tools, and then make the remaining iron ore into some long knives, and match them with the slaves at home, which is ready for emergencies. ”
"Isn't that a weapon?"
When Zhang Xiaoxue heard Zhang's father say that he would use the remaining iron ore to make long knives, distribute them to the slaves, and arm them, he had some habitual thinking that these weapons would be controlled by the imperial court.
"Dad, let's produce these weapons at home, won't anyone in the court take care of them?"
Zhang Xiaoxue asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's okay, there are only 40 slaves in our family, even if you add the slaves sent by His Highness, there are only 100 people.
Besides, they are all private slaves of our family, and even if they wear weapons, they will not be controlled by the imperial court.
Even if the slaves were not equipped with long knives, but for their own families, as long as the required number of 100 pieces was not exceeded, it would be fine.
If a private family owns a small number of weapons, it will not be regarded as a gathering of people to rebel, and it will not be controlled by the court if it does not exceed the specifications of the imperial court's restrictions, and these things will be learned in the future in the ethnology. ”
When Zhang's father heard his daughter's inquiry, he took the trouble to explain it to her in detail.
Zhang Xiaoxue heard Zhang's father mention the last mention of ethnology, and she was a little bit weak-hearted, after she came here, she only went to the ethnology once, and then when Zuxue started school, she did not go for various reasons.
Thinking that she still had to go to the martial arts class to learn martial arts again, she decided to go to the next clan study, if there was nothing important, why should she go there.
After Tian Sixteen heard the conversation between the father and daughter on the side, he hurriedly said on the side that even if the underground secret room was built, he would lead the others to complete it well.
At the same time, Tian Sixteen also explained to Zhang's father and Zhang Xiaoxue that the underground secret room is much more complicated to build than the cellar, not to mention the slow time, and a lot of materials are used.
For example, the most important stone needs to be prepared a lot, and at the same time, they also need to cooperate with them to make some stone slabs, stones, stone strips and the like.
Zhang Xiaoxue heard that she needed to use a lot of stones, and said that there was no problem, she had a lot of stone mines in her hands, and Tian Shiliu was a little excited to ask if it was the kind of hard stone that made the big grind.
Zhang Xiaoxue took out a copy of bluestone, marble and white marble, let Tian Sixteen choose, and told her that any one of them could be used, and there was plenty of storage.
Tian Sixteen didn't have much feeling for the bluestone, although the bluestone that Zhang Xiaoxue took out was very large, and there were such stones everywhere on the mountain, it was not unusual, looking at the marble and white marble, but there was excitement that could not be concealed.
In the end, Tian Sixteen chose to use marble to construct the main body of the secret room, Zhang Xiaoxue first took out the bluestone and white marble back into the warehouse, and then moved the marble taken out to the corner.
After talking to Tian Sixteen, she will take out more marble when she wants to use it, and now if the marble is taken out, there is not such a spacious place to place it in the yard.
Also, Tian Sixteen said that a small amount of carpentry and ironware were needed, and that the carpenters of Da Mu and the three blacksmiths of Da Tie were needed to help.
After listening to Tian Sixteen's words, Zhang's father and Zhang Xiaoxue both said that there was no problem, Da Mu and Da Tie could get together and work together to complete the construction of the underground secret room.
The sketch that Tian Sixteen drew just now is no longer needed, and it is necessary to redraw some tightly structured secret rooms.
Zhang Xiaoxue said to Tian Sixteen again, it is best to build the various rooms underground wider, so that if one day, when you need to hide people inside, you will not feel too crowded.
Tian Sixteen promised to design the sketch as Zhang Xiaoxue said.
According to what Zhang's father just said, even if his family is armed, it is not safe, and it is better to drive the whole village to be armed.
Anyway, Zhang Xiaoxue will have at least one income from iron ore every day, and when the time comes, he will simply upgrade the miner's hut and take out all the iron ore first.
Then let them make long knives, and when the time comes, they can donate some long knives to the clan in their own name, so that they can be distributed to each family.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoxue remembered again that she also chose a slave who could make bows and arrows, as if Zhang's father named him Da Niu.
He hasn't been allowed to use his talents until now, so it seems that it's time for him to make some bows and arrows.
Of course, this matter is not too urgent, now it is better to get the two sets of tools to be used for striking iron, and when you come back, you will ask the big cow about the materials needed to make bows and arrows, and prepare some of them.
Zhang Xiaoxue explained to Zhang's father that she was going to the blacksmith shop in the county town to buy tools for making ironware.
Zhang Xiaoxue thought about it, but still didn't let Zhang's father go with her, anyway, she was familiar with the blacksmith shop in the county town, and she could do this alone.
Father Zhang can do other things at home, such as calling Da Niu over and asking him what materials are needed to make bows and arrows.
"Dad, I've been to the blacksmith shop in the county town twice, and I'm familiar with it, and I'll be able to go there soon by RV later.
You don't have to go with me anymore, but I remember one thing, I haven't told my father yet, that there is a slave in our family who can make bows and arrows.
Dad, you named him Da Niu, you can call him and ask what materials are needed to make bows and arrows, let's prepare some and let him make a batch of bows and arrows, right?"
