Chapter 234: Five Hundred Stones

Ning Qingxi was also aware of this, so he hesitated.

But truth be told, that mountainside is a well-kept place.

Lu Cui also leaned over to look at the map, stood up and asked Ning Qingxi, "But this is on the mountain, if we build the workshop here, transportation will also be a problem." Both cement and gunpowder require ore. ”

Ning Qingxi explained: "I have already thought about this problem, the transportation of ore can be carried with movable pulleys, Master Lu should be clear, right?" Our walls have started to use pulleys. ”

Lu Cui nodded in agreement.

Ning Qingxi said: "There is also the problem of transportation, you can lay two tracks, from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and directly use the transport mine cart to transport down, which can save a lot of manpower, and the speed is extremely fast." But it just needs a lot of iron. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chang Yuan, after all, it was Chang Yuan who was in charge of this aspect.

Chang Yuan looked puzzled, "What is the track?" ”

Ning Qingxi stepped forward and drew a schematic diagram of two tracks and a minecart on the desk.

She pointed to the two tracks and the minecart diagram, "The minecart can only travel on the track, and the minecart can not only go up but also down, so that the problem of transportation can be solved." And the volume of transportation is not small. ”

"The entrance to the mountainside that was previously discovered could also be sealed with cement and a new one can be excavated. But the most important thing is to ensure the Golden State, otherwise no matter how well our side defends, we can't do anything about it if people come around from the Golden State. ”

Chang Yuan's eyes were glued to the map, thinking to himself, it seems that it is not possible to send troops. It's okay, I originally planned to wait for the food to be ready to send troops to Golden State.

He raised his head and looked at Ning Qingxi and Lu Cui, "You must pay attention to the workshop, I will send another team of people to patrol over there, Miss Ning, Master Lu, you two must also pay attention to safety when entering and leaving the workshop, I will send someone to protect you, and wait, after taking Jinzhou, the workshop will move to Jiuwan Mountain!" ”

Chang Yuan's eyes looked at the Golden State section of the map, and his eyes flashed with imperativeness.

……

As soon as Li Dafeng came back from next door, he saw two people standing at the door of their house.

Seeing that these two people were a little strange, she was still a little afraid to go in.

"What are you doing here?" Li Dafeng walked into the door half a step and found that the two people didn't care about her, she took another half step back and asked with some hesitation.

"Madam, the two of us are the guards sent by the general to protect Miss Ning."

Li Dafeng's eyes widened, he glanced at the two of them, and walked towards Ningqing's west room in a hurry.

"Sissy! Sissy! ”

Wang Xiujuan was sorting out the seeds in the yard, and heard Li Dafeng's voice scolding: "What are you doing? Picked up by a dog? They are all children, and they don't know the key point. Running out all day long, the child doesn't care, right?! ”

Li Dafeng was stunned by the scolding and explained: "I waited for the child to fall asleep before going out." ”

Wang Xiujuan rolled her eyes, "Then do you know when the child will wake up?" So small children, you can also rest assured that the two of them can sleep on their own? If something happens, it's too late for you to regret it! Do you still ask a child as young as ingots to help you see it? How old is he? What do two-year-olds know? He still needs to be taken care of! ”

Wang Xiujuan really admired Li Dafeng, and she didn't know if she had a big heart or a lack of heart, so she actually used a piece of candy to buy a two-year-old child to help her watch the child, and she ran out to the east and the west.

Li Dafeng actually felt that it was nothing, the bed was so big, the child would not turn over if she was so little, and someone would naturally call her when she cried.

But she didn't dare to refute when she saw that Wang Xiujuan was angry.

Ning Qingxi finished her own affairs and planned to come out to help her milk dry seeds, but she happened to hear the noise outside, no, it should be said that her milk unilaterally scolded people.

"Milk, what's wrong?"

Li Dafeng saw Ning Qingxi and remembered what he was doing when he came back.

I also forgot to be afraid, and asked excitedly: "Xixi, are those two people outside your guards?" General Chang gave it to you?! ”

Ning Qingxi didn't refuse Chang Yuan's kindness for the sake of his own life, the county was mixed, these people wanted to inquire about the workshop, and the best target was Lu Cui and her, so she had a fire gun on her, but in the end she was just a child, if people took advantage of her inattention and knocked her unconscious, she didn't even have a chance to use weapons.

"That's right, there are too many people in the county, and these two people were sent to me by the general."

Li Dafeng's face was excited, she knew that Xixi was a promising!

Chang Yuan would not be so excited and surprised to send someone to protect Ning Changrong and Li Dafeng, but now he is protecting Ning Qingxi, a girl who is only eleven years old!

Although she is the only daughter in the family and is favored by her parents and brothers, people in this era will have some patriarchal ideas, including Li Dafeng.

But now Ning Qingxi has proved to her with her own results that women can also do better than men.

Li Dafeng couldn't help but think that if her daughter could grow up to be half as smart as Ning Qingxi, no, half as smart as half as she was, then she would be satisfied!

Wang Xiujuan can also hear the two brothers Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San talking about things on the street at the dinner table every day, in short, although there is a small friction, there is no big mess.

At first glance, when she heard that Chang Yuan had specially sent someone to protect her granddaughter, she was a little worried.

"What's going on? Why do you need to send someone to protect you? ”

Ning Qingxi comforted: "Milk, you also know what I am doing in the workshop, many things in our workshop cannot be revealed at will, General Chang is also prepared, I am afraid that some people will hit my attention, you can rest assured, I am in the county every day, and now there are many people around me, and I will not travel alone." ”

Wang Xiujuan quietly comforted in her heart, this rebellious work is really not easy to do.

She just hopes that the world will be peaceful soon.

Thinking of this, before the meal arrived, she took a bag of seeds and explained a few words to her family before leaving.

……

General's Palace.

"Auntie, is this the sweet yellow pumpkin we ate at your house that day?"

Fu Linjun pinched a pumpkin seed and asked.

Wang Xiujuan put down all the seeds in the package, "Yes, this is pumpkin seeds, pumpkins can be eaten as vegetables, can also be eaten as food, and they are not small, if you choose the best pumpkin seeds every time to plant them, the quality of the pumpkin seeds will get better and better, and the pumpkin will grow sweeter and bigger." ”

What she said also understood Fu Linjun also understood, just like keeping the best grain seeds.

"It can be eaten as a vegetable and as a grain, which is really a good thing, how is the yield?"

Wang Xiujuan also probably knew from her granddaughter that there was no pumpkin in ancient China, and this thing was produced in the Americas, and the yield in the Americas should not be low, with a yield of more than 3,000 stones per mu.

But now it is in the Central Plains, an overhead dynasty, they are located in the north, and Wang Xiujuan did not plant an acre of land, at most only half an acre.

She estimated the yield and said: "If you plant well, it is estimated that the production capacity per mu is about 500 stones." Wang Xiujuan tried her best to say small, otherwise she wouldn't have planted this amount by then, and those who didn't know thought she was deliberately falsely reporting.
