Chapter 60: The Blacksmith's Workshop
"Then kill him with frontal humiliation," an old monk sneered faintly: "Zhu Daofu, your cultivation is profound." ※%, last time you Transfiguration Sect also lost face in front of that Liu Shengzhi, this time it is best for you to find it back!"
An old monk who sat silently in the corner, closed his eyes and said slowly, "Okay!"
It's just a word, but it doesn't open its mouth again.
The plan has been decided, just waiting to be implemented.
Liu Shengzhi's Shi Ran returned to the time and space of the Six Dynasties.
Huiji is now the first class of Jiangzuo's rich land, supporting the supply of materials for most of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, all the gate valve families in the south of the Yangtze River like to buy properties in Huiji. Each has a large estate.
The Wang family is naturally no exception, and the manor purchased is huge, covering an area of hundreds of hectares. All of them are fertile and creamy land.
To put it in a big way, it's to pinch a handful of fertile land that can flow oil.
There are even hundreds of servants, which are basically the private population of the Wang family. Responsible for farming, ironmaking, weaving, and winemaking for the Wang family......
Basically, this era. A large manor is almost a self-sufficient society. Almost all the needs can be produced in the estate.
It is similar to the manor economy in Western Europe in the Middle Ages.
And that's just in one place, in other places. The Wang family also has a lot of industrial fields, not just this one.
The so-called servants are almost serfs. It's just that the Wang family is a well-known family in the world, and they have to talk about some face.
Therefore, it is not bad to treat these servants, at least they can eat enough. It will not be covered with clothes.
is like a small family like the Li family in Huaiyang Fort, and treats his subordinates and servants. But the squeezing is much more ruthless.
However, it is also rich in this place. The yield per mu is about 300 catties, which is almost one-third higher than that of other places.
Liu Shengzhi had just come back, but he was cautiously invited. said: "Dugong, someone is sick......
But he couldn't speak. If you change to another family, this kind of subordinate slave, if you dare to harass your guests like this, you will be killed on the spot.
However, Liu Shengzhi has lived in this manor for a long time. When there is something to do, I will walk around and observe the situation. It's when you encounter a sickness like a servant. Regardless of the other party's status, he helped to heal the disease.
Therefore, although Liu Shengzhi lived in the manor for a short time. But reputation is just that.
Especially those subordinates, they regard Liu Shengzhi as a Buddha of ten thousand families. Only then did he dare to be bold and take the initiative to beg Liu Shengzhi.
When Liu Shengzhi heard this, he really didn't think he was angry. No one knows better than him that the human heart is such a thing. Although most of the time, it is useless.
However, once used well. That's a lot of use. Especially when Liu Shengzhi clearly knew that there would be a catastrophe.
A long illness becomes a good doctor. Although Liu Shengzhi has not been ill for a long time. But when people are sick, they also accumulate a lot of experience.
Generally minor illnesses, it is really not a problem. After it is easily solved, there is nothing left and right. And he spun around in the manor. Before I knew it, I came to the left side of the manor gate.
Most of this entire manor was purchased by Wang Xizhi back then.
Huiji is known as the left place of the river. Emperor Sima Ye of the Jin Dynasty ordered Zhuge Hui to be too punctual, and once gave wine and food to send off Xingyun: "Today's Huiji." In the past, the soldiers were full of food. It's about keeping it".
It can be seen that for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the role of this Huiji County is like that of Guanzhong in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Qinchuan, 800 miles in Guanzhong, is known as the golden city for thousands of miles, the country of abundance. During the Han and Tang dynasties, it has always been the most fertile and rich place in the world.
Speaking of which, Sichuan is known as Tianfu, but it is already a Zhuge Liang cottage.
And Huiji County was actually regarded as a comparable place by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is enough to show the importance of the status of this place and its richness.
Therefore, when Wang Xizhi was forty-nine years old, he was the general of the Right Army after the internal history. took his wife Xi Xuan and his children to buy many estates.
And this manor is the famous Lanting in later generations, and it is famous all over the world because of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface". It is said that back then, Wang Xizhi gathered guests and friends, celebrities. A stream where the Orchid Pavilion preface was written is all within this manor.
It's just that Liu Shengzhi is not such an elegant person. I didn't have much interest in that kind of famous place. On the contrary, it is the defense of the entire estate that is most noted.
The periphery of the manor was surrounded by walls. In particular, the place where the main family lives is built with high walls, which is almost like a castle.
But since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in just a few decades, there has been constant turmoil. Especially in the early two or three decades, the internal power struggle was too fierce, and there were several civil wars.
Therefore, it is these gate valve families that have a sense of precariousness. Relying on high walls and deep courtyards, there are many armed private soldiers to ensure a sense of security.
Liu Shengzhi was quite interested in the Wang family's private soldiers, but after a few contacts, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
Although the Wang family is powerful, no one has led troops to fight for decades. There is no military talent.
Although there are hundreds of private soldiers, these private soldiers are trained and equipped. None of them are good.
Liu Shengzhi said, if that catastrophe really comes. These soldiers, however, are completely unreliable.
This time, Liu Shengzhi returned to the Wang family manor, and couldn't help but look everywhere again. I couldn't help but shake my head.
He has just gotten his hands on a lot of various technical materials, and he can flip through them at will.
For the manor in front of me, I still don't have much eye on all aspects!
was wandering around leisurely, but came to a place, and heard the sound of thumping iron from a distance, and before he got closer, the hot air on his face had dried the skin on his face.
It's the blacksmith workshop of Pavilion Villa!
Seeing Liu Shengzhi, a man who looked like a steward hurriedly came over and saluted: "Mr. Liu, why are you here today!"
This person seems to be the manager of the blacksmith's workshop, but he seems to know Liu Shengzhi.
Liu Sheng's heart was spinning, and he said with a smile: "I came to fight a sword, so I came here."
This steward was stunned, and hurriedly greeted Liu Shengzhi into the workshop.
Seeing such a workshop, the roof made of roof tiles is only half a wall. It is ventilated on all sides and is easy to dissipate heat.
A blacksmith with an upper body ** is banging iron, and sparks are flying.
The two apprentice helpers next to him were helping to blow up the wind and start fighting.
The heat in the whole shed is extremely high, like a stove, and the heat wave is rolling in the face. But it's a place that no one with status wants to stay.
The steward, though he was the steward of the blacksmith's workshop, did not want to come here. (To be continued......)
