"You have also grown up, I know that you are a doctor, there is no distinction between men and women, but when your mouth grows on other people's faces, it is easy to talk nonsense, and sometimes you still have to keep a proper distance." Lu Huaiyuan spoke earnestly.

"Oh." Lu Xiaoyun didn't think about it so much, so he perfunctorily agreed to Lu Huaiyuan.

Lu Xiaoyun was thinking about something else.

"Big brother, do you think it's realistic if I fence off that wasteland?"

"Fenced? Why? You don't need to be around to plant a tree, do you? ”

"Yes."

Lu Xiaoyun looked serious.

"What are you going to do when you buy plaster?"

"To make a material that can be used to build a house, is the kind of mud that glues two bricks together, well, mud so to speak."

After all, it's called cement.

Lu Huaiyuan had never heard of such mud, so he asked curiously: "What do you use in this mud besides gypsum?" ”

"There are also iron slag and quicklime, and you have to dig a kiln to calcinate them."

"So troublesome?"

"It's really a bit troublesome, but if you make it, it will definitely surprise the eldest brother. This is what my old father told me, and he said that the mud produced by this was very hard, and it was especially suitable for military defense. ”

"Really?"

"That's what the old master said, and it depends on whether we can succeed in making it."

Lu Xiaoyun is just trying, and he can't guarantee that he will succeed, after all, the step of high-temperature calcination is quite difficult, and I hope her father can find a powerful talent.

"Do you want to move to the wasteland you bought?"

"Nope."

Lu Huaiyuan saw that Lu Xiaoyun seemed to have something to hide, so he didn't ask any further.

……

Three days later, Lu Yuanming finally came back from Fengyang Pass and brought good news to Lu Xiaoyun.

"Dad has found the people you want, but it will take some time to get to the northwest, and wait. By the way, your second uncle Yang agreed, and he is also willing to lend people, but he also has conditions, and the forged weapons will be given to Fengyang Pass first. ”

"Yes, Dad, did you agree?"

"Well, yes."

If Yang Hong didn't want anything, Lu Xiaoyun wouldn't be at ease.

Yang Hong is now secretly targeted by the King of Chu, whether it is equipment or grain and grass, Fengyang Pass can't get a good one.

Yang Hong must have hoped that the army he led would be better equipped.

"Once the cement is made, let's start preparing for mining. Dad, do you think of any way to make the capital have no time to pay attention to us here? ”

"Don't worry, the more people who want to be emperors, the more the King of Chu will be free. What's more, didn't your palace people bring news back to Beijing? Now the King of Chu is searching for the Three Princes, and the existence of the Three Princes is a greater threat to the King of Chu than us. ”

Lu Xiaoyun thought about it and told Lu Yuanming that Xiaolian had come to the northwest.

Lu Yuanming: "......"

He has never liked to speculate on others with the greatest malice, but Lu Huaixue can really make people think of her more viciously.

"Lu Huaixue is having a hard time in Beijing now, and she has no time to take care of our side, and she can't do anything in a short time. What is more important for us now is to make ourselves stronger. Although Dad doesn't lead troops now, at least half of the Northern Army is at Daddy's orders. ”

"Hmm." Lu Xiaoyun nodded, she was not good at leading troops to fight, so she didn't ask too much.

And Lu Huaiyuan only then knew that the wasteland that Lu Xiaoyun bought had iron ore and saltpeter.

Except for him, no one else in the Lu family knew about it.

In the following time, Lu Xiaoyun ran to the wasteland every day, watching those saplings grow.

I don't know if it's because she used the ability to grow these saplings, the growth is very gratifying, just half a month has passed, and it has been green.

Moreover, the growth rate of these saplings is also amazing.

Now, they are waist-high with Lu Xiaoyun.

Lu Bao and the others patrol responsibly every day, carefully caring for these saplings.

At the same time, the people Lu Yuanming was looking for also came to the deserted village.

These people had all received Lu Yuanming's kindness, so Lu Yuanming found them, and they came to the northwest without saying a word.

The person in charge of calcining is called Dong Cheng, and he is very good at firing ceramics.

Although the work he has to do now has nothing to do with ceramics, he is still very serious, and after knowing Lu Xiaoyun's requirements, he chose a place in the back mountain to dig a kiln.

Lu Xiaoyun handed over this matter to Dong Cheng and invited people from the village to help.

The village chief is no longer surprised that Lu Xiaoyun likes to toss, and the villagers don't talk much, anyway, they have money to make, and they are all very motivated.

After several experiments by Dong Cheng, the kiln head was finally dug up, and Lu Xiaoyun began to burn cement.

Lu Xiaoyun also did this for the first time, and failed many times before adjusting the proportion and burning the first cement, but the use effect was a little far from what Lu Xiaoyun expected.

She revised the proportions again, and by this time it was time for the farm to be busy.

The potatoes that Lu Xiaoyun tried to plant, under the careful management of Lu Dalang and Lu Erlang, obtained a good harvest.

After they tasted the potatoes, they found that the potatoes were full and delicious, and the smiles on Lu Dalang and Lu Erlang's faces were confiscated.

However, Lu Yuanming and Lu Huaiyuan are rarely at home, even when they are busy with farming, they also go out all day, and the farm work at home falls on Lu Dalang and Lu Erlang, and they have no complaints about it.

Ah Tian didn't get involved in Lu Xiaoyun's affairs, so he suspended his studies these days and took Lu Huaizhi and them to help harvest potatoes.

Potatoes and soybeans are interplanted, and when harvesting potatoes, special attention must be paid not to damage the bean seedlings, so Lu Dalang refused to invite someone and took his daughter-in-law and children to work slowly.

He and Song Qiuning also went to the ground, they were both pampered eldest ladies since childhood, but now that they are in trouble, they are all calm, they don't know how to learn, and they adapt very well.

"With this potato, you don't have to go hungry in the future. Yunyun said that another batch of potatoes can be planted, and many people in the village have already told us that they are planning to buy potatoes and plan to try planting them. Lu Dalang raised his head and wiped his sweat, looking at the round potatoes on the ground, his eyes were full of joy of harvest.

"But after autumn, the weather starts to get cold, can the potatoes live?" Zhao said, "If you don't plant it then, you will blame us, right?" ”

"Hahaha, before that, I would have been as suspicious as you. But now I believe in Yunyun very much, she said yes, then it will be possible, you don't have to worry. ”

After a pause, Lu Dalang said to the He family with a look of envy: "The third brother and sister will give birth, and a girl is even more powerful than our two sons." ”

Zhao "snapped" a piece of mud and smashed it over, "Shut your mouth, don't jump out of anything." ”

What if the three siblings think they're laughing at her for not having a son? Isn't this adding to the blockage? Zhao glared at Lu Dalang fiercely.
