Chapter Fifty-Seven: There's a Mine at Home!

What Li Jinglong said was that the big and excessive windows were floor-to-ceiling windows specially designed by Mei Yin.

As a later generation, he has an obsession with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Especially after coming to Daming, after feeling fully felt the gloom brought by the narrow windows of the thatched house, when Mei Yin was ready to repair the house, she wanted to get a floor-to-ceiling window even more.

The windows are too small and the lighting in the room is too poor.

Even on a sunny day, the room is not bright.

Normally, that's the case, let alone if it's cloudy and rainy.

In this era, there were no electric lights, and even if the lights in the room were lit during the day, even if they were cloudy and rainy, they would still look dim.

Fed up with this dimness, Mei Yin built a house again, and inevitably chose oversized floor-to-ceiling windows to strengthen the lighting problem.

Living in a bright house, people's mood will improve and they will no longer be depressed.

As for Li Jinglong's concern about the problem of too large windows, Mei Yin is not worried.

He had a way of getting the windows right.

Ideally, you can do something to trigger the reward of feeding pigs to become stronger, so as to obtain the method of making glass.

In the future, we will make glass, install it on the windows, and make glass windows.

If it can't be triggered, and the glass can't be burned, that's fine.

Get some white paper paste, and you can make do with it.

Anyway, he just wanted big windows, and he wanted the inside of the house to be bright.

I don't want to be as dark as I am now.

"It's okay, I'll definitely be able to solve the window problem later.

You'll just have to wait and see. ”

Mei Yin didn't tell Li Jinglong what he would do in the future, and Li Jinglong didn't ask.

But since Mei Yin said so, according to Li Jinglong's understanding of the second uncle, the second uncle is behind, and there must be a way to do it well......

After taking a closer look here, the style of the house designed by Mei Yin, Li Jinglong felt that it was okay overall.

But in many places, it gives people some weird looks.

Not quite in line with his aesthetic.

He felt that after such a house was built, it would definitely be uncomfortable to live in.

If he starts a new house in the future, he will definitely not build a second uncle like this.

It's still the old house of the family, and it's comfortable to live in, and it makes people feel comfortable when they look at it......

……

"Uncle Zhao, whose family is this barren slope?"

Three or four miles southwest of Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin stood here and looked at the piece in front of him, about one hundred and ten acres of barren hills, and looked at Zhao Jiachang and asked loudly.

This barren hill is full of stones, and there is very little soil, so it is impossible to grow crops at all.

Even planting trees can't grow talents.

There is too little soil.

On weekdays, there are some weeds and some low bushes.

In spring, summer and autumn, people who herd cattle and sheep tend to come here.

In the winter, someone would get some hay to make a fire.

For the peasant family, it is not very useful here, and it is the same as chicken ribs

For Main, however, the usefulness is very great.

Because this is a place where the amount of limestone found by Mei Yin after two days of investigation is very large.

Based on the knowledge he had gained about firing cement, he conducted a check.

Mei Yin could be sure that the many limestones exposed on the outside were only a small part.

There's more to come.

If you can get this place in your hands and build a cement burning factory, you will definitely be able to fire a lot of cement.

"This is from Qiangang Village next door, and this large piece is the land of the grandfather's family."

Zhao Jiachang, who was following alongside, introduced loudly.

This Qiangang Village is adjacent to Shuangshui Village.

This place is also located at the junction of Qiangang Village and Shuangshui Village.

As a member of the first chief of Shuangshui Village, Zhao Jiachang has lived here for a long time, so he naturally understands these situations.

It's all one person?

That's easy.

The next step is to buy the place yourself, which is relatively easy to achieve.

You only need to talk to one person, which can save a lot of effort.

"Uncle Zhao, how is this grandfather?

Is it good to talk? ”

Mei Yin asked.

Hearing Mei Yin's words, Zhao Jiachang shook his head.

"Not a good talker.

How to say it, this old man was the richest family in this area during the Yuan Dynasty.

However, after the turbulent times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the family's land and money were much less.

But even so, now in this Qiangang Village, his family has the most fields.

It is said that rich people have a good life

But this old pick is an exception.

He is very picky, very stingy, and cares about everything.

For example, in our places, it doesn't matter who the barren hill is, as long as you can't grow crops, you can let people come and herd cattle and sheep at will.

No one cares.

But that's not the case with this old pick.

He doesn't let others come here to herd cattle and sheep, he comes to see if it's okay, and when he sees someone herding cattle and sheep here, he will scold.

They even beat people with their hands.

Sometimes, some grain mixed with poison will be specially made and put here, and the cattle and sheep that come here to graze will be drugged to death......"

"If he does this, will no one take care of him?

He killed other people's cattle and sheep, but he broke the law. ”

Li Jinglong frowned secretly when he heard this.

Zhao Jiachang shook his head and said, "It's not that no one sued the official, or used other methods to solve it."

It's just that this old man has been here for many years, and he also has friendships with some people in the yamen, and his family has money.

In this case, who can compete with him?

At the beginning, there were still people fighting, but after a few fights, it was the people of the Niu Yang family who were killed by the medicine suffered a loss.

If someone encounters this kind of thing again, no one will dare to fight anymore.

The people who were drugged to death cattle and sheep could only swallow their anger and consider themselves unlucky. ”

Li Jinglong's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this.

Mei Yin lived in the countryside in her previous life, and when she was a child, she also saw some village tyrants acting, and knew how they bullied people.

The reaction was not as big as Li Jinglong's.

That was the case then, let alone now.

Now this kind of thing, that's absolutely indispensable......

"Zhang Lao picks up everything and cares about everything, and only looks at the small profits.

It's also unusually slamming the door.

One of the things he is most famous for is that the fertilizer water will never flow into the fields of outsiders.

If you want to poop or pee outside, you must hold it in your own field to solve it.

Once, he had a bad stomach and was a little far away from his family's field.

When ordinary people encounter this situation, they must quickly find a place to solve it.

But Zhang Laoli is not like this, the fertilizer water can't flow into his field, and he is distressed.

As a result, when he rushed to his own field, he fell carelessly, and the fell out.

Pulled a crotch. ”

At this time, Zhao Jiachang no longer shouted by Mrs. Zhang, and directly called Zhang Laojiao.

He also talked about the glorious deeds of Zhang Lao in this piece, which were widely spread.

Mei Yin, Li Jinglong, and the others who listened couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, he was stunned, and he felt like his eyes had been opened.

If they hadn't heard the news from Zhao Jiachang's mouth today, they really couldn't have imagined that there would be such a person in the world!

"Uncle Zhao, I want to buy this barren hill, what do you think?"

After understanding who this old pick was, Mei Yin looked at Zhao Jiachang and said his plan.

And consulted Zhao Jiachang on this matter.

When Zhao Jiachang heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Mr. Mei, I'm afraid this matter is not very easy to do, Zhang Lao picks that person, and he is different from others."

When Mei Yin heard this, she was not surprised at all.

But even if it's hard, you have to do it.

He's going to settle on this barren hill!
