Chapter 165: Valley Infrastructure (1)

Jiang Tangtang didn't think too much about the Cui family's affairs, and her mind quickly returned to the valley infrastructure.

At present, the red bricks have been burned, but it is not only the red bricks that can be built to build houses and build the city walls. You also need a good viscous agent to make the wall stable.

As far as Jiang Tangtang knows, before the invention of cement, the ancients often added glutinous rice to the mortar to increase its viscosity and make the wall more solid.

But apparently, this approach does not suit their valley. First, she doesn't have so much glutinous rice now, and even if she is reluctant.

This is a famine, and there is not enough food to eat, so where is it willing to use glutinous rice to build a house.

But fortunately, "The Complete Book of Civil Engineering" is really a very complete book. In addition to adding glutinous rice to increase viscosity, there is also lime and sand; lime plus sand, clay; Clay plus lime, paper tendons and other methods.

Jiang Tangtang found that no matter which method it is, it is inseparable from lime. And Lime was ignored by her before.

Fortunately, she knew how to make lime, and there was also limestone not far from the valley where limestone could be burned.

However, before burning lime, Jiang Tangtang planned to teach his family how to use agricultural tools first.

On this day, after Lu Shiyan and the others left the valley, Jiang Tangtang gathered the Lu family and the Jiang family together and taught them the use of various farm tools.

In addition to the iron plough that can be cultivated by oxen, Jiang Tangtang has made a cart and a six-toothed deep fork hoe, as well as an improved sickle.

In fact, these farm tools are not difficult to use, but they are not the same as the previous farm tools, and everyone is a little unaccustomed to them at first.

But after getting used to it, everyone discovered the beauty of the new farming tools.

Although the six-tooth deep fork hoe looks strange, it is very labor-saving to use.

There is also a newly created scythe, which not only adds a wooden handle to make it easier to hold by hand, but also makes a large scythe of different sizes and angles according to the different effects.

One of them, a scythe designed for land reclamation, can mow grass as long as it is standing, and the blade is particularly sharp.

With the newly made tools, the efficiency of the Lu family and the Jiang family has been greatly improved.

The villagers, who originally didn't take the farm tools brought back by Jiang Tangtang, saw it, and they all stopped what they were doing and came over.

"What's that? How do you mow the grass so fast? ”

"I didn't expect the cart to be so easy to use, such a big stone, a woman from the Zhou family actually transported it easily."

"Didn't you look at the iron fork in Su's hand, how fast it turned over the ground? See, a woman actually turned over this large piece of land in a while. ”

……

The villagers gathered around to discuss the new farming tools used by the landing family, and now there is no longer yesterday's contempt.

Many people approached Jiang Tangtang and asked if they could lend them farm tools.

Jiang Tangtang naturally did not refuse, but first said that there are not many farm tools, and it will be necessary to wait for the Lu family to run out.

Moreover, her farm tools have taken a lot of effort to make, and anyone who is damaged will have to be compensated according to the price.

In addition to that, of course, the rent is also set. The villagers don't have any extra food to spare, but they can take credit and give it later.

Jiang Tangtang did not do this to collect a little grain, mainly because of the lack of farm tools, so as not to have a conflict in the end because of excessive competition. Another point is to form a good atmosphere.

She led everyone to develop the valley and earn career points in the system, but she didn't want to be the wrongdoer.

Jiang Tangtang's demands are reasonable, and the villagers have nothing to say.

In this way, the matter of farm tools was decided. She turned to the lime burning.

To make lime, like to make red bricks, you have to build caves to fire.

In the evening, Jiang Tangtang asked Village Chief Song to gather the villagers and talk about the construction of a kiln to burn lime.

As soon as the news was announced, it caused a sensation again.

However, although the villagers were surprised, they did not have any suspicions.

With the successful experience of firing red bricks for the first time, the villagers have an inexplicable admiration and belief in Jiang Tangtang.

In addition to worship and convincing, many villagers felt that their future lives were full of hope.

Although they are hiding in the mountains, they can burn bricks and lime by themselves, and there are so many advanced agricultural tools, can they still live a bad life in the future?

There are also a small number of people who feel regretful, if Jiang Tangtang's ability had been taken out in Dawan Village before, would their village still become the poorest village in ten miles and eight townships?

But after thinking about it again, if it was outside, it would be a skill that could be passed down to the family, such as burning bricks and lime, and the Lu family was afraid and unwilling to let them get involved.

Thinking about it this way, the small number of regretful people inexplicably gave birth to a sense of happiness.

No matter what everyone thought, Jiang Tangtang continued to talk about the remuneration for working in the lime kiln.

As with the burning of red bricks, food is still used as a reward. However, depending on the type of work, the amount of food given is different.

As for the main person in charge of the lime kiln, Jiang Tangtang chose her fourth brother and fifth brother.

Seeing that Jiang Tangtang handed over the lime kiln to the Jiang family to manage, people couldn't help but have some ideas in their hearts.

As soon as the meeting was gone, several of the women quietly bit their ears.

"In the end, my mother's family is closer, you look at the Jiang family, the brick kiln and the lime kiln are divided into a few brothers, and there is really nothing to do with the Lu family."

"No, Su Pozi is afraid that she will die this time. In vain, she usually spoils this daughter-in-law to heaven, but when there is a good thing, people still believe in her mother's family, not her mother-in-law's family. ”

Zhang Qifang has always been at odds with the Su family, but now she learns that Lu Shiyan has a career and goes out to become an official, and Jiang Tangtang, a woman, has become the leader of the valley, and she has the final say in everything, and she is so jealous that there are a few bubbles on her mouth.

No matter how jealous she is, she can't help the Lu family. More often, her family has to rely on the Lu family.

Now seeing that Jiang Tangtang handed over the brick kiln and lime kiln to his mother's family, he was so happy.

I just want to run to Su Shi to see Su Shi's jokes.

A lady in the same company shook her head and said: "The Jiang family is also stupid, the daughter who married out splashed the water, and then she is towards her mother's family, then in the Jiang family, she is also an outsider."

She will not have to rely on her husband and son to live in the future. This offended the in-laws' family, can they have a good life in the in-laws' family in the future? ”

……

Not to mention that the villagers secretly speculated that Jiang Tangtang was selfish and oriented to his mother's family, even the Jiang family felt that Jiang Tangtang deliberately helped them.

Seeing his daughter helping his family everywhere, Wang's heart was ironing, but he couldn't stop worrying.

After the meeting, he hurriedly pulled Jiang Tangtang aside, "You stupid girl, you have the ability now, and your waist is hard in your mother-in-law's house, but you can't do it so obviously?"

You hurry back and tell your mother-in-law's family that you will give the lime kiln to the two brothers of the Lu family, don't help us and have a dislike with your mother-in-law's family. ”
