Li Daniu stopped talking.

How could he have thought of this, but he has this condition, who is willing to marry a good girl to him without any problems.

Although the butcher earns more money than farming, it is a killing industry after all, and the ancient people were very superstitious, and many people believed that they killed too much in life, and they would be reincarnated into the animal path after death, and they would be reincarnated as animals in the next life.

Li Daniu finally married a stupid daughter-in-law and gave birth to a stupid son, so he pinned all his hopes on his son.

Seeing that Li Daniu was silent, Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Instead of having a useless stupid son, it is better to marry a concubine while he is young, give birth to a healthy son, and don't let him kill pigs in the future, study hard, and maybe he will be able to enter high school in the future, that is the real glory of the ancestors." ”

Li Gui pursed his lips and said mockingly: "Just him? Still want to marry a concubine? I don't have any, why should he? ”

Li Daniu was angered by Li Gui's words, and wanted to find him desperately.

Jia Baoyu stopped him with a smile, then glared at Li Gui and said, "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the bandang sees the hero." Now that the situation is turbulent, it is the time when heroes are coming out, I think Li Daniu is very good, bloody, I like such a person very much.

In fact, it is very simple for Li Da Niu to marry a concubine, I have a chance here, it depends on whether the big Niu brothers want it or not. ”

"What chance?"

Li Daniu and Li Gui asked at the same time.

Jia Baoyu pointed in the direction of the capital: "I see that there are many refugees in the capital, among them there are many women who have fled from other places, and there are not a few who drag their families with them.

When the time comes, the big bull brothers will work hard and strive to give birth to a big fat boy by the end of the year. ”

When Li Daniu heard this, he immediately grinned and said: "I, I can afford to raise it, and I can afford to raise three more people, not more than four, and if I have more, I will be hungry." ”

Bah!

Li Gui smacked him in the face, this Li Da Niu is really shameless, he still wants four women, and he is not afraid of exhausting himself to death!

Li Gui looked at Jia Baoyu with a look of envy.

"What's the matter, do you want to give you the whole one too?" Jia Baoyu was furious by Li Gui's eyes.

Li Gui shook his head again and again and said: "That's not necessary, the tigress in my family, if she knows that I want to marry a concubine, then she can't tear me alive." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Li Daniu and said, "Did you listen to what my second master said?" Your stupid son is no longer saved, you are not a few years older than me, you should find another mother-in-law, give birth to him ten or eight, maybe there will be one who is promising.

In case you become a big official, I will take you to the capital in the future, so that you can experience the life of a city person. ”

Li Daniu seemed to think of a better life in the future, touching the back of his head and smirking.

The mother-in-law at home is stupid and ugly, and like herself, she doesn't like to take a bath, and she stinks all day long, which makes him unable to make love and affection, so over the years, there is only this stupid son.

Li Daniu is not stupid, he doesn't want to make a family of little fools for himself, he also thought about marrying a concubine, but there is no one in the village who doesn't know that he kills pigs, and no one wants to marry his daughter to a pig killer as a concubine.

"If it can be done, it will naturally be good, but I don't know if people can take a fancy to us."

Li Daniu had no way out by himself, but when he heard Jia Baoyu's suggestion, his heart itched.

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "This trip to the capital is only a one-day journey, and it only takes two days to go back and forth, wait for me ......."

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly smiled: "I wonder if Brother Da Niu is willing to kill pigs in another place?" ”

Li Daniu felt that Jia Baoyu's thinking was jumping too fast, and he didn't keep up for a while: "Change places?" Where to? ”

Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "It's not very far, it's in Tianmen Mountain in the south." ”

Li Daniu frowned and said, "I heard from the merchant from the village that there are bandits on Tianmen Mountain, who are engaged in the business of killing heads, so I won't go." ”

He kills pigs in the village, although he can't make a lot of money, but he can also make a living, which is better than running around and losing his life.

Moreover, the ancients had a strong concept of relocation, except for scholars and businessmen who would run around, ordinary people would also circle around in a radius of ten miles throughout their lives.

Jia Baoyu said again: "I will solve the bandit matter, and I will find you two younger mothers-in-law when I go back, and I will satisfy you." ”

Li Daniu's face showed a look of struggle.

Li Gui knocked on the side and said, "I said Li Daniu, what are you hesitating about?" As for your family's three broken grass houses, and there is no land, it is better to change places, anyway, Tianmen Mountain is not far from us. ”

Li Daniu gasped and said in a muffled voice: "I'll go back and think about it." ”

Jia Baoyu waved his hand and said, "This is natural, but there is only one chance, give me an answer tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

Li Daniu picked up the pig-killing knife on the ground and went home with a heavy heart.

Looking at his majestic back, Jia Baoyu's mind came alive, because he suddenly had a bold idea.

Li Gui looked at Li Daniu's back and said, "Second master, if you want me to say, you should beat him hard just now, and he can't take care of himself." ”

Jia Baoyu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "The complaint is too strong to prevent intestinal breakage, and the scenery should be long-term." To be a man you have to be broad-minded, you can't think about it because of some trivial things, and lead the way in front. ”

"To last night's girl's house?"

"you, I'm going to take a look at the factory." Jia Baoyu scolded angrily.

The car is familiar with the road, and when I look at it during the day, the factory is already crowded with people, and it is in full swing.

More than 200 workers in different costumes came to the factory early to dig earth, burn bricks, mud, and build walls......

Thinking of Jia Baoyu's instructions yesterday, Li Gui called a person who looked like a supervisor: "Lao Zhao, don't be busy building this wall first, and cap these houses." ”

When the supervisor surnamed Zhao heard this, he nodded and said, "I'll arrange someone to do it immediately, but this capping still needs a girder, and I have to find a few people to cut down trees in the mountains." ”

Heitu Village is backed by a hill with abundant vegetation, and our ancestors have been collecting firewood in the mountains for generations, but you can use local materials.

Li Gui said again: "Lao Zhao, I will introduce you to a nobleman, my young master, after the Duke of Rongguo, you and this group of helpers will meet in the future, don't lose your courtesy." ”

When Supervisor Zhao heard this, he immediately bent down and said, "Young Master, you are auspicious." ”

Jia Baoyu nodded and said, "The more than 200 refugees here are all under your control?" ”

Supervisor Zhao hurriedly said: "The small one is called Zhao Jia, originally a person from the left acropolis of Shunning Mansion, a few years ago the wild boar skin hit Zhangjiakou Fort and the left acropolis, and ordered the slaughter of the city after breaking the city, the small family of five was slaughtered by the Tartars, only the small one escaped the disaster outside the city, and then fell here, and was taken in by the village chief, and happened to have the skill of building a house. Thanks to the trust of the eldest young master, let me be this overseer. ”

Left Acropolis?

Jia Baoyu remembered, the garrison of the left acropolis is called Chang Rusong, after the Tartars entered the customs from the Xifeng Pass, they invaded Xuanda, attacked Zhangjiakou Fort first, did not fight down, and turned to attack the left Acropolis, the garrison Chang Rusong and the commander Du Fengzhi fought with the soldiers and civilians of the whole city and the Tartars for a day and two nights, the soldiers ran out of food, and the Tartars ordered to slaughter the city after breaking the city.

The garrison Chang Rusong, the commander Du Fengzhi, and thousands of people in the city were slaughtered, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, which was unbearable to see.

"I see, then it is best to leave this matter to you."

Jia Baoyu instructed Zhao Jia to prepare a large amount of clay, and then asked Li Gui to find someone to buy the thrush stone.

Li Shizhen recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": This is the black of the stone grease, which can also be ink, and its sex sticky tongue, different from the charcoal, the southerners call it the thrush stone.

Thrush stone is graphite, is an important raw material for making pencils, the stone is black like stone, and the sex is not strong, grinding it is like ink, picking it up. When Jin Zhangzong, the concubine tasted the thrush, hence the name.

In fact, there were records of the use of graphite in ancient China, but most of them were used to make dyes and were used by women to paint eyebrows.

Just near the village of Mentougou Zhaitang near the capital, there is a graphite mine.

Li Gui didn't know what Jia Baoyu was going to do, but he was meticulous in carrying out his master's orders.

After the matter was arranged, Jia Baoyu found a few bricklayers who could burn bricks.
