Chapter 61: Assembly Day

Early the next morning, Qian Yu took out a complete set of reorganization plans and handed them to Buyi.

Although Bu Yi was strange, he only glanced at Qian Yu, and did as he was told, which he discussed with the old village chief, no matter what Qian Yu did, as long as it was not too out of line, he would do it.

After Buyi left, Qian Yu looked at the time, the food delivery car should have arrived, he hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village to greet him, and when he saw the leader of the team, he was immediately surprised, because this person was actually a rooster.

When the rooster saw Qian Yu, he immediately laughed: "Ke oil Ke oil, I received your 100,000 urgent letter, I don't dare to slack off at all, as soon as I buy all the things you need, I will come non-stop, how about it, no delay, right?" ”

"No delay, no delay!" Qian Yu hurriedly shook his head, he was naturally happy that the rooster could come, but he felt strange. The rooster has always played the role of a military advisor among the brothers of the Wyvern Gang, and now it is burning bricks and building houses over there, so it is not okay to leave this guy.

He asked the doubts in his heart, and the rooster said happily: "As long as it doesn't delay, you don't have to worry about the things in the help, with Boss Yue here, everything is fine, and he also asked me to stay and help for a few days."

Boss Yue is very powerful, he didn't care about anything in the past because he had nothing to do, and I still learned these two brushes from him. And I heard that there is the only salt water well in our Qingfeng County, and I have wanted to come and see it for a long time. ”

Qian Yu nodded.

With the rooster there, his work can be a lot easier. What made him even more relieved was that Yue Fei knew the situation in Yunxi Village, and specially asked the rooster to bring fifty taels of silver.

Qian Yu did not refuse, the Feilong Gang had already achieved initial capital turnover by selling lime and red bricks, and he needed more money for emergencies.

Compared to modern salt production, boiling salt is definitely an ancient method that is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. When he first arrived in this world, he had the idea of improving the salt-making process, but unfortunately the world is changing, and only now does he have time to think.

The most suitable method that Qian Yu can think of is to dry salt!

Drying salt is actually an ancient process of refining table salt, which is even earlier than boiling salt.

Ever since humans learned to use tools, they have been drying salt. It's just that the places where the salt is usually dried are by the sea, and there are too many impurities in the seawater, and the dried salt often has to be reprocessed and re-steamed before it can be eaten.

Like Yunxi Salt Well, the daily output of salt brine is limited, and it is indeed not as good as boiling it directly when exposed to the sun.

Therefore, if Qian Yu wants to dry salt, the first thing to do is to increase the output of salt brine.

"Stone, you take twenty people to dig the salt well bigger, at least ten zhang widen outward, yesterday I went to the bottom of the salt well to see, the nearby salt mine has been almost diluted, only to dig to both sides, can improve the salinity of the well water. By the way, after digging the salt well, build a few downward steps, so that it will be easier to go up and down. ”

The stone nodded yes, since the old village chief promised the ears to Qian Yu, Qian Yu has not been embarrassed to face this simple man, but he can't see anything on the surface of the stone, and he still comes to boil salt every day, and he is a diligent mess.

After giving instructions to the stones, he chose a flat field the size of a football field, and asked the hammer to lead the other part of the people to dig down, dig thirty centimeters, and then smash it.

Of course, the brick kiln must also be built, and Qian Yu found that the bottom of Yunxi Village is full of clay layers, which provides a lot of raw materials for the firing of red bricks.

The Wyvern Gang is stationed in a stone mountain, and there is not much clay, and the clay used to burn bricks there is pulled back from a long distance, which is time-consuming and laborious.

In this situation, Qian Yu simply informed Yue Fei to suspend the brick kiln there and burn lime with all his might.

The construction of the brick kiln is in charge of the rooster with "work experience", and when he can command so many people, the rooster is like a chicken blood, and he keeps running around, like the foreman of the construction team.

The excavation of the salt well went smoothly, and it took only five days for the stone to dig a large pit with a radius of ten feet, and he also found the poisonous salt layer that he had encountered when he had secretly entered the well.

The width of the poisonous salt layer was far wider than expected, and digging along the salt layer in all directions, a poisonous salt mine was dug up, which made the stone chagrined, how good it would be if this were a real salt mine!

Qian Yu was overjoyed, in his opinion, these potassium nitrates are much more precious than salt, and there are many salt seashores, as long as it costs a little money, how much can be transported, but potassium nitrate is a treasure that can be found in this era of backward productivity.

He immediately sent several people to dig up the poison salt and store it carefully.

Seeing them piled up higher and higher, Qian Yuxiao's mouth couldn't close, but he knew deeply that potassium nitrate was one of the necessary raw materials for making explosives, as long as he found sulfur and charcoal, ahahaha......

With the benefit of explosives, he can do more, and even in peacetime, it is easy to blow up a mountain. The scattered marble on the hill in front of the Wyvern Gang would not be burned out in a short time, and he was worrying about how to quickly mine those hard stone walls.

The brick kiln commanded by the rooster was completed yesterday, and the bricks were stacked in, and in just a few days, a large number of new bricks will be made.

Only the progress of the salt field is slower, because the site is large, and the old and weak women and children are working, Qian Yu is not in a hurry, but just let the hammer smash the dug place first.

Calculating the time, he took Xiao Hegu and his nemesis piglet, and headed towards Qingfeng County again.

******

Today's Qingfeng County is much more lively than usual, because today is a ten-day assembly day.

Qingfeng County is vast and sparsely populated, and the people in the villages under its jurisdiction rarely go out on weekdays, so it is difficult for Qingfeng County to form a market on weekdays, and the people in the city can only go to the bulk sales area in the south of the city if they want to supplement their living needs.

After Qian Yu joined the Flying Dragon Gang, he systematically planned the wandering vendors in these bulk sales areas, although it was only to increase the protection fee, but inadvertently increased the cohesion of the bulk sales area.

These fixed stalls are now all occupied by fixed vendors like Li Damiang, and people go to buy things, as long as they remember the location of the stall, they can buy the items they want to buy anytime and anywhere, without having to blindly look for them, which has also invisibly increased a lot of popularity.

But compared to the day of the rally, it is simply not enough.

Think about it, the people of all the villages that lack entertainment activities on weekdays are all looking forward to the arrival of the assembly day, especially those big girls and little daughters-in-law, even if they don't buy things, they have to run to shop for two or three rounds.

So before Qian Yu entered the city, what he saw was the flow of people who were so numb that they made people's scalps tingle.

Glancing at Xiao Hegu and Piggy helplessly, he tried to squeeze towards the crowd, but before he could take two steps, he heard a sharp voice shouting: "Ah, hooligans, catch hooligans!" ”

But when the piglet moved forward, he didn't know who pushed him, and his big face accidentally stuck to a girl's buttocks. That girl is also a fiery person, she was taken advantage of, no matter if you are an old man or a child, she directly denounced it loudly, so Qian Yu had to drag the two of them to flee in embarrassment under the angry eyes of everyone.
