Chapter 274: Vicious Female Companion Flees from the Famine and Farms (25)
"Why do you say that?" Xu Yin asked.
"There is only so much wasteland that can be opened, and three batches have been placed in the mountains ahead. The reason why we didn't bring anyone here anymore is not because of your blessing brother hero? The people of the county government remember your favors. Shi Fengnian talked about the gossip he heard.
"But now, there are more and more people who have fled to Dongxuan Mansion, and we have a lot of wasteland, and we will definitely settle more people over. It's not that I don't want them to come, just like us, we all had no choice but to flee the famine because of the disaster in our hometown. But everyone is saying that there are a lot of rioters who participated in the riot in this group of people, and they are vicious. We are old and young here, what can we do when we meet this kind of person! ”
Xu Yin looked at him with a smile: "What are you afraid of!" Show the ferocity with which you held a long knife and robbed food and water! ”
"......" Shi Fengnian wailed, almost kneeling, "Brother Hero - don't go through old accounts, okay?" I've been beaten by my dad for this for I don't know how many times! ”
"Hahahaha......"
The laughter diluted the gloom of a lot of bad news.
But if the yamen really wants to bring people here to open up wasteland, they can't stop it, and they don't have the qualifications to stop it.
Who wants to be uprooted and displaced to a different place? It is nothing more than a disaster in my hometown, and there is nothing to be done.
"In this way, the disaster situation in Tongxing Mansion has not been alleviated?"
"Isn't it, I heard that the worst village has not had a drop of rain so far. It's better in the city, but there is less rain. Fortunately, we didn't go to Fucheng at that time, and came directly to Dongxuan Mansion, otherwise we wouldn't know where to ask for water to drink! ”
Hearing Shi Fengnian say this, Xu Yin couldn't help but think of Wang Daniu's family, and didn't know what happened to them.
……
Hearing that there were still more disaster victims coming here to clear the wasteland, the existing families gathered for a meeting.
"Brother hero, you have a smart head and a lot of ideas, you can say a few words to everyone and teach us how to beware."
Xu Yin pondered for a while: "I have an immature idea. ”
She felt that just clearing the wasteland could not alleviate everyone's poverty at the root.
In particular, I learned that the disaster in Dong Xing Province was not only not alleviated, but worse. Natural disasters lead to man-made disasters, and it is not known how long this situation will last.
Since the imperial court has given a three-year grace policy, most of the victims who fled here plan to return to their hometowns after three years.
In this way, the wooden house and the straw canopy roof will not last long after all.
It's only late summer and early autumn, and when winter comes, what if there is snow and the roof collapses?
Well, she's been thinking about firing the kiln these days.
A few days ago, I went to the market, and I met the official last time, and by the way, I asked him if it was illegal for ordinary people to burn kilns.
The official immediately laughed, saying that kiln firing is a technical job, which ordinary people can do if they want to. If there really is such a person, will it still be a small common man? They all went to Fucheng to make a fortune.
Listening to the civil servants who said this, I think it can be burned.
She has inspected the surrounding soil, which may not be a good land for farming, but it is still more suitable for burning bricks and tiles.
In addition, this mountain itself is a firewood mountain, and the most important thing is firewood, firewood burns charcoal, charcoal burns bricks. When the first bricks and tiles are burned, the houses will be rebuilt first.
The housing has been improved, and more of them have been shipped out for money to buy grain, and the harvest in inferior land is poor, but there is a side job to share the pressure of life, and it must be no problem to eat enough.
Everyone scratched their heads after hearing this: "But we won't!" ”
"I will! I'm here to guide you. It's up to you to try it or not. ”
"You don't need to ask! Who wouldn't want to make a living? ”
"Hero, you can say anything! We'll do it with you! ”
"That's right! That's it! ”
So, before the second group of victims arrived at their wasteland, Xu Yin took the strong laborers to choose a site to build a kiln and cut wood to burn charcoal.
They carved out a few points of wasteland and left enough space for building brick houses. lest the new arrivals build houses on the fields they have opened.
Everyone is very motivated.
"Brick houses, few households in my hometown can afford to build them, and those of us who fled here to beg for a living have the opportunity to live. Thanks to the heroic brothers! ”
"We're lucky to be with the heroes. Those who have cleared the land in the mountains have heard that life is miserable, and the land has not yet been dughed. ”
"It's a pity that the hero doesn't go to school! If the hero is a scholar, he may be able to become a big official! ”
"That's right, Brother Hero, you have such a smart head, and you know a lot of words when you hear Erlang say, why don't you go to study?"
Shi Fengnian, who gave Xu Yin a hand, couldn't help but ask.
"Actually, farming is pretty good." She still said the same thing.
Shi Fengnian rolled his eyes: "It's up to you to talk about this, who wants to farm if you have the opportunity to jump out of the farm." If you don't believe it, nine out of ten people don't want to farm. ”
"That's because you didn't find the joy of farming." Xu Yin changed the drawings and said slowly.
"Huh? What's the fun of farming? Shi Fengnian pursed his lips, "Tired and bitter." I don't say anything just because I'm tired and hard, but if you look at it, when there is a drought, there is no harvest, and people don't starve to death, so why do you still think farming is interesting? ”
Xu Yin groaned: "What you said is true, but someone has to farm, otherwise what to eat?" ”
Shi Fengnian was suddenly dumbfounded.
After a while, he spoke: "You're right! ”
Xu Yin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't be so heavy, the hard days will pass, and the good days will come." Come on! Let's build the kiln first, and wait for the bricks and tiles to burn out, and then it will be our side business! ”
Shi Fengnian suddenly came to his senses: "Didn't you say that there are a few places to change in this drawing?" Changed for the better? ”
"Hmmm! Try this, and you should be fine. ”
Xu Yin's drawings were exchanged during the Yan Dynasty. Changed the data, first build a small kiln, and then change back to the original parameters after expansion.
When everyone heard that the kiln could be built, they cheered and surrounded Xu Yin and asked:
"Brother Hero, what can I do? You assign! ”
"And me! I can do anything! ”
"If you build a kiln, you can burn bricks? It's that simple? ”
"Simple! It took a few days for the hero brother to draw the drawings, and you still can't understand it when you give it to you! Is this called simple? ”
"That's right, haha!"
Xu Yin laid the base well, and asked Shi Fengnian and them to continue to build stones according to the base she had built, and then she came to knock it down, striving to leave no gaps between the stones and the stones.
The rest continued to burn charcoal.
Once the kiln is fired, a large amount of charcoal is required.
In this way, after several days of busyness, the kiln was finally built!
When the first test brick was burned, the cheers almost broke the sky.
But......
"Why is this brick red? I remember the brick house built by the rich man of my hometown, and the bricks were blue. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's red or green, just burn it successfully! And how beautiful it is red! Don't you say, Brother Hero? ”
