Chapter Eighty-Eight: Gathering the Exiles

The next day, early in the morning, Liu An and the brothers entered the city, Yueniang withdrew the silver money, let the two purchase materials, and after the distribution was completed, Huang Xiao also finished freshening up.

Yesterday, Huang Xiao had deliberately compressed the number plates, and only thirty of them were issued, and there were many more people who came to grab the license plates today.

Huang Xiao and Yueniang distributed it, but saw Zhu Youxiao with more than ten men riding over.

"Brother Xian, Brother Yu, go first, if you are done, come back to meet." Zhu Youxiao got off the horse and exchanged a few words with Huang Xiao, and then rushed away.

"Zhu Gongzi is a warm-hearted person like the young master!" Yueniang praised.

Huang Xiao smiled, this is his old Zhu family's country, he is not enthusiastic, who is enthusiastic? But it's only seven o'clock now, and Zhu Youxiao has already set off, which is also very good!

When Zhu Youxiao got out of the city gate, he saw a lot of people outside the city, and the guards hurriedly escorted Zhu Youxiao in the center.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, signaling the guards not to be nervous, driving their horses forward, crossing the moat, only to see Liu Lin wearing a big red flower dress, standing on a high table, next to a large group of women and aunts, and on both sides were more than 30 strong men guarding.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Liu Lin held a roll in his hand and shouted in a thick voice: "Let's come to Dahuangzhuang to recruit workers today!" The first batch is only for those who have a family! When I went to our Rhubarb Village, both men, women and children had enough food to eat and had wages to get! There is also land for everyone to cultivate, and the land rent is 10%! Everyone come and sign up! ”

As soon as Liu Lin's voice fell, there was a sudden uproar, and many people crowded over!

Let's not talk about whether there is a salary or not, even if there is no salary, as long as you can fill your stomach, it is a great joy!

"Me! Count me in! ”

"I ...... Application! Let's make it! ”

……

"All in line! Come one by one! As long as we meet the conditions, we want them! If anyone doesn't listen to the arrangement, they won't accept it! Liu Lin shouted.

More than 30 strong men lined up, and the momentum of the homeless people suddenly weakened, and they were afraid that they would not listen to the arrangement and not be taken in, so the crowd quickly became orderly.

"Yikes! Zhu Gongzi, you're here! Liu Lin stood tall, saw far away, and hurriedly trotted all the way over.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Liu!" You go busy, I'll see. ”

Liu Lin's voice immediately caused a commotion!

Those women and men knelt on the ground in a hurry, and they all shouted for Zhu Gongzi.

Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood, waved his hand, and let everyone get busy on their own!

Liu Lin jumped onto the high platform and shouted: "Fellow villagers! That is our Zhu Gongzi of Dahuangzhuang! It's Zhu Gongzi's kindness! Everyone must remember who gave the way to live! ”

"Zhu Gongzi is really a good man!"

"Zhu Gongzi lives a long life!"

……

The homeless people were still a little apprehensive before, but now when they saw Zhu Youxiao riding a tall horse and more than a dozen guards beside him, everyone knew that this Zhu Gongzi must be a nobleman, and their hearts immediately became even hotter.

Zhu Youxiao looked at all this and was extremely satisfied.

"Why don't we! We have the strength! ”

Seeing that everyone with a family and a mouth was taken aside, those single people shouted.

Liu Lin said: "Our Zhu Gongzi is merciful! First the young, then you! What are you guys making a fuss about? Let's come back in two days! ”

When these people heard that they were going to recruit people in two days, they didn't dare to make a noise.

Soon, Liu Lin and the others gathered more than 3,000 people and dragged their families towards Dahuangzhuang.

The women were constantly talking about the rules of Rhubarb Village in the procession.

Zhu Youxiao rode his horse first.

When he arrived at Dahuangzhuang, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned, it was only a day's work, and this place had changed a lot!

In the distance, a blast furnace several feet high, emitting black smoke, and not far from it, men are building a factory with bare arms and horns......

And Da Huang Zhuang has two more big rooms, both of which are steaming.

Zhu Youxiao dismounted and walked over.

"Zhu Gongzi, you're here." Liu Cheng greeted him.

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Is the blast furnace repaired over there?" ”

Liu Chengdao: "Mr. Song led everyone to build one overnight, Mr. Song said that this is a test furnace, wait for a while when the coal and iron are transported over, test it first, if it is successful, and then rebuild the real blast furnace next to it!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "It's really hard for everyone!" One day and one night can have this scale, with heart! What are these two houses for? ”

Liu Chengdao: "The smaller one here is the canteen, the bathhouse here, my young master said that everyone has to take a bath and be hygienic when they come over, otherwise they will get sick easily." ”

"Well, I remember, that's what Huang Xiandi's manual says! Well done! Sister-in-law Liu, they have summoned thousands of people to come over, you go and get busy, don't worry about me. Zhu Youxiao said.

Liu Cheng saluted and went.

Zhu Youxiao walked into the cafeteria.

I saw that the canteen was very rough, all around it was supported by wood and then spliced with wooden planks, and the roof was also nailed together with thatch and wooden strips, so that the sunlight could penetrate in, but it also looked much brighter.

The kitchen room is separated by the wall, and more than 30 women are busy inside.

The hall is full of large wooden planks, and next to them are benches, which were obviously made in a hurry, but they are neatly arranged and look very good.

"Zhu Gongzi, you're here! Did you eat breakfast? The second dog lady happened to see Zhu Youxiao and asked with a smile.

"Ah, it's Auntie, what do you have to eat?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"White-flour steamed buns, porridge!" The second dog said.

"I originally ate early, but as soon as the eldest mother said it, I was a little hungry, so I had a steamed bun."

The second dog lady smiled and took a steamed bun and said: "Childe is the time to grow his body, eat more, my second dog has to eat eight at a meal!" ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled, took it, and said while eating: "What about the second dog?" ”

"He, he went to the city with Erxiao yesterday, saying that he was doing something for Young Master Huang! This kid is happy now, if it weren't for Zhu Gongzi and Young Master Huang, our mother and son might starve to death! Ergou has a lot of smiles on his face in the past two days! The old woman thanks Zhu Gongzi! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, said hello, and left.

He first went to see the bathhouse, and then got on the horse and went to the steel factory.

Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng both hadn't slept all night, and came over to salute with red eyes and a tired face.

"The two Aiqing have worked hard!"

Song Yingxing said: "The ministers are not hard, and it is an honor to be able to participate in such a major event in the future!" ”

Zhu Youxiao took a few steps forward, looked at the smoking blast furnace, and said, "You want to test steel today?" I'll be waiting here! ”

Wang Zheng said: "The minister's mold is also ready, just wait for the steel to come out, you can make parts, if everything goes well, the first steam engine can be completed in a few days, but the belt has not been solved." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, and said: "The eucommia glue used in the belt is temporarily provided by Huang Xiandi, I have already arranged for someone to collect eucommia tree seedlings, I want to take out four Huangzhuang to plant trees, the tree will take several years to grow, during this period, I can only let Huang Xiandi provide it first!" ”

Huang Xiaokua went to Haikou and said that he could provide it, but Zhu Youxiao and Wang Zheng did not go to the bottom of it.

Zhu Youxiao took out a piece of white paper and a mirror, handed them to the two of them, and said, "I talked with Brother Huang Xian last night, and he provided the production process of glass and mirror, you can study it and arrange production as soon as possible." ”

Song Yingxing took the information, Wang Zheng took the mirror, and exclaimed: "This mirror is many times clearer than that of Westerners!" Good stuff! If we can produce it in large quantities, we don't need to buy it from the West at a high price! ”

Song Yingxing raised his head and said, "Mr. Huang is really a strange person!" This information is extremely operational, and the minister will arrange someone to build a kiln now! ”

Wang Zheng took the information and read it quickly, and praised: "Westerners have very strict technical control over mirrors and colorless glass, and Mr. Huang actually cracked the mystery, which is really amazing!" ”

Song Yingxing nodded and said: "Yes, who would have thought that this crystal clear glass is actually made of river sand, how low the cost is, Westerners are dark!" ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "Brother Huang Xian's chest is earth-shattering, I talked with Brother Huang Xian last night, I really benefited a lot!" There is a beautiful continent full of gold and silver, and there are magical crops with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, but it's a pity that the two Aiqing are too busy, so I won't talk about them one by one, and when you have the opportunity, you and Huang Xiandi will talk again, I guarantee that you will open your eyes! ”

Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng were both taken aback, and at the same time they were extremely curious about Zhu Youxiao's words.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the crowd in the distance, and turned his head, "Gather the displaced people again, I will go and take a look, the two Aiqing are busy." ”

Zhu Youxiao left on horseback, and Song Yingxing summoned the workers who repaired the blast furnace yesterday to repair the glass kiln.
