Take the mall to Datang

"Young Master, Young Master, the Caiyi hand you're holding hurts so much." Unknowingly, Yuan Shan's mind wandered again.

Caiyi said softly with a blushing face, she knew that Yuanshan was in a daze at this moment, and she didn't dare to make it loud, but she has been dragged like this for a long time, and it would be embarrassing to be discovered by Heye.

"Ah~ I'm sorry! Caiyi helped me call Steward Zhou, Craftsman Yang, Tiejiang Lu and Yan Bei to the living room for discussion." Yuan Shan said immediately.

Now only these people can come in handy, Yuan Shan returned to the boss's desk after speaking, and began to write and draw.

When Yuan Shan came to the living room, everyone was present, so he just explained his intention without wasting time.

"The Marquis needs a lot of black stones, who can burn them, who knows." Yuan Shan asked.

"The old servant knows that this kind of black stone can be burned, but it is not easy to ignite. The cost of making black charcoal is relatively high, but the selling price is very cheap. I will buy some tomorrow as much as the young master needs." Steward Zhou immediately responded. .

"Don't worry, you will start looking for this kind of black stone starting tomorrow. If you find the place of origin, you can buy it directly from the local government. You can also look for black oil, which is black water that can be burned. The same is true. If you find the place of origin, you can buy them all. Come on, this matter should be kept low-key." Yuan Shan said.

"The old servant understands that what the young master is talking about is called black lacquer. It is rare but not unavailable. It will take time to find it." Zhou Butler replied.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Housekeeper Zhou." Yuan Shan said.

"Yanbei, I want you to travel far away to find a mine near Changsha County, Jiangnan Road. The things there are like this..." Yuan Shanzai explained to Yanbei carefully. It is not a day to find a tin mine. It took two days, and don't think that it is really a tin mine resource because it is called Xikuangshan. It is not the case. It is only called this name because people mistakenly think that tin is produced here. , He is not sure about the exact location and can only give a rough idea.

"Yanbei, let's go get ready." Yuan Shan instructed.

"Steward Zhou, go and equip yourself. Select some people for the kiln. Tomorrow, choose three strong men to set off with Yanbei. We need to add more people to the kiln. The Marquis will take care of it." Yuan Shan said to Butler Zhou again.

Then Steward Zhou and Yan Bei left to prepare, leaving Yang Wu and Lu Wanda staring at Yuan Shan's orders.

"The next thing that Lord Ben Hou wants to produce is called matches. What you need to do is to make tools for processing matchsticks. First, you need to make a machine tool that can cut logs, and then you can add bearings to make it rotate. The logs are placed on the shelf. Then rotate at a high speed to press the cutter up, cut the log into soft and thin wooden cardboards in circles like peeling an apple, and then stack all these thin wooden boards together and cut them with a cutter. I want a thin rod." Yuan Shan explained the principle, but Yang Wu and Rwanda understood what he meant, but they had never done this kind of thing before, and they still felt that they couldn't do it.

Then the three of them began to study each other. Yuan Shan's idea was quite good, but after all, at this time, there was no power machine tool like the later generations, so it was not easy to do it. However, Yuan Shan thought of a thing and this principle. I really wanted to, and then drew the shape of a pencil sharpener on the paper, but this time it was not used to sharpen pencils at an angle, but turned into a device for sharpening logs.

From an intuitive point of view, Rwanda understood it in an instant, and then began to study with Yang Wu, a craftsman, while Yuan Shan was listening, and if he thought of something or they couldn't solve the problem, he continued to communicate.

"Master, it's time for dinner, Madam is waiting for you to have dinner together." Caiyi came in and said.

"Caiyi, go and tell Madam to let her eat first, don't wait for me, we still have work to do here, you go and bring some food over, it happens that the three of us ate here, remember to use a wooden dinner plate It's over, I'm hungry if you fill it up." After Yuanshan finished speaking, Caiyi immediately went out to get ready.

This wooden dinner plate was made by Yang Wu and his craftsmen. It is similar to the dinner plates in the canteens of later generations. Now there are only a few dozen of this kind of dinner plates, mainly the maids in the inner courtyard. They are used for eating, but I believe that it will be popular when eating work meals in the future.

In fact, the people in his family eat very simply. A large bowl of rice with vegetable soup and broth is very good. This kind of dinner plate is prepared by Yuanshan for the future, and the side dishes will grow soon this year. Well, he bought a lot of seeds from the mall, especially lettuce, which grows quickly and in sufficient quantities, which is definitely enough for a summer, not to mention there are three greenhouses.

But the dishes in front of me are still too few, especially the vegetables, which are basically wild vegetables. There are some leeks and so on, but there are not so many of them. However, Yuan Shan has already made preparations. The various vegetable seeds he provided were handed over to the farmers to plant, and if they were planted in the yard, they would be able to eat side dishes this summer.

The seeds provided by Yuanshan will be recycled in the first year, that is, this summer. After this year, the farmers will have seeds, so Yuanshan will not care. This year can solve the problem of so many people eating vegetables in Yuanjia Manor. If it is not enough next year, then buy it from the dealers. Anyway, if you can’t eat it, the dealers will sell it, so why not do it.

Soon Caiyi came over with a special wooden portable shelf on which the dinner plate was placed, and placed the dinner plate beside the three of them.

The dishes are all the same, there is a pork, a wild vegetable, an egg, and a bowl of soup. The staple food is cut pancakes and some rice. The three people's dinner plates are all the same, except that Yuanshan has preferential treatment for those It's that there are two more chicken wings than others. This is what Yuan Shan asked Xiyin to prepare just now. The grilled chicken wings are all prepared for Qian Yu. Caiyi thought about it and went to add two yuan to Yuan Shan.

Yang Wu and Rwanda's eyes lit up when they saw it. They didn't eat meat every day, but only had a meaty meal every three days. After all, even if Yuan Shan was a local tyrant, it was impossible for hundreds of people to eat meat every day, but bone soup was still available. of.

"Come take a break and have a work meal first." Yuan Shan was really hungry, so he started to move after speaking.

Chapter 63 Yuchi Baolin is Back

Yuan Shan Caiyi always waits by his side when eating, and he is very used to this kind of thing.

"Caiyi, this chicken wing is for you to eat, don't be shy, take this is the order of Lord Ben." Yuan Shan said.

If no one was around, she might have followed it, but now there are two big light bulbs next to her, Caiyi is really shy, but Yuan Shan said that she has to listen.

Seeing Caiyi's shy expression, Yuan Shan immediately put the chicken wings into Caiyi's mouth, and then ate on his own. In fact, he didn't even think about it being so complicated. It seems to him that it is a very common thing, and sharing delicious food will also make people feel happy.

In the end, Caiyi still ate the chicken wings, her face flushed like a red apple.

After eating, the three of them began to discuss again, drawing pictures while talking, Yuan Shan saw that the rest was for the two of them to discuss the production of specific accessories, so he couldn't get in the way, so he stood aside Figure out the match plan.

The current situation is, how much will matches be sold at the beginning? Don’t look at the fact that there are too many things involved in a small box of matches. For example, paraffin wax needs to be extracted from petroleum, and a lot more can be added at that time. product items.

But before that, there is still a need to make oil refiners, distillers and other equipment, which also involves the issue of coal and iron ore. If you want to refine oil by indigenous methods, you need to make equipment. The environment is polluted, so I decided to spend some effort to customize the oil refining equipment. This may take a long time and consume more iron ore. Judging from the current financial resources of the Yuan family, it seems a bit difficult.

After thinking about it, I thought about the sale of matches again. Without cardboard, the red phosphorus strips for striking matches can only be painted on the small wood chips. This still requires a process, and storing matches is also a problem. Use wooden boxes Either it is very labor-intensive, or you can improve papermaking first, and then make paper shells.

Yuan Shan's head is getting dizzy thinking about it. What he can't think of doesn't mean he can't use other methods to realize it. For example, he is sitting there browsing the mall now. This magical mall has all the raw materials he needs, but because of Due to historical limitations, if he uses it, he may cause trouble, so try to keep a low profile.

In fact, he doesn't need to buy some things, and he can get a lot of information from those top-grade introductions, so in Yuan Shan's view, although this magical thing is a shopping mall, its actual effect is indeed much stronger. I really didn't think about how to make better use of this mall.

At present, it seems that there are still many things he can do. To put it bluntly, it is very simple for him to rely on the things in the mall to form an army, but how to explain such a weird thing when the time comes, Besides, if he really wanted to fight for hegemony in the Tang Dynasty, he would feel quite tired even thinking about such a thing.

The most ruthless emperor's family, all dynasties have earned blood and even sacrificed their lives for a position. Is such a thing interesting? If Yuan Shan became the emperor, he can't guarantee that his children will not be big for this position. Even if he is only a son, those ministers and the forces behind them, thinking about these is enough to cause headaches, besides, life is impermanent, life is very short, why not enjoy life while it is a good time , Enjoy the joy of hard work.

Yang Wu and Rwanda have almost drawn the blueprints, but Yuan Shan is still wandering at the moment.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shan really fulfilled his promise. He got up and did morning exercises together. Lan Lan and other women’s slingshots became more and more accurate. Craftsman Yang and Tiejiang Lu went back to the workshop to rest last night. Woke up in the morning and started to lead people to work. Their work was finalized by Yuanshan last night, and now they just need to execute it. Yuanshan didn't take care of them later, but there will be a lot of iron ore every few days was sent to the workshop.

The Yuan family was very quiet that day. Steward Zhou and Yan Bei took people out one after another. The production of the lime kiln and brick kiln was also stopped by Yuan Shan, but the quarrying and preparation of raw materials did not stop, but the brick factory did not. , and taking advantage of the shutdown of the lime kiln, it is time to start building a new brick kiln. This time, the plan is to directly build five brick kilns, and burn 50 bricks at a time. This is equivalent to an income of [-] yuan. How much depends on whether the Yuan family can use these turning heads.

The road construction in Zhuangshang is also full of smog. There are too many people and it is inevitable that there will be some dust. The construction of the chess hall was stopped, but craftsmen were dispatched to the chess hall to carry out construction again. This time, it was mainly to carry out some construction on the periphery of the chess hall.

In this way, Yuanshan asked the craftsmen to continue to expand the platform in the corridor of the chess hall, so that people can play outside, and there are fences around it to prevent it from falling easily, and then connect some suspended corridors, and I plan to build a small pool next to the corridor of the chess hall. At that time, some fish can be raised in it.

In addition, a kitchen is being built next to the chess hall, where food and drinks can be provided for people to enjoy, and the chess hall will not be open to the public from now on, but the children of the farmers can still go to the newly built wooden shed play in.

It took Yuanshan a day to settle the matter, and the rest of the craftsmen began to divide a large space on the racecourse side according to his intention, and then began to build a wooden house there.

The place he planned was simply a football field and a basketball court. As for what to do with the remaining large open space, he really didn't think about it, but building a wooden house here was reserved for Yuchi Baolin and the others.

There are also workers in the inner courtyard who made footballs and basketballs using pig urine foam as air bags according to Yuanshan's request. For this purpose, they went to Chang'an to buy some cowhide. It was just made, but it was not so ideal at the beginning. After the continuous thinking and improvement of the workers, it still made some progress.

After dealing with these matters, when he got up on the third morning, Yuan Shanxin said that there was nothing to do now, but he didn't expect that Yuchi Baolin came back and brought back thirty strong men.

The first thing Yuchi Baolin saw Yuan Shan was to offer 150 taels of gold, but then Yuan Shan sent all 31 people including Yuchi Baolin to the football field to go with the craftsmen Repairing the wooden house, it doesn't look very good here now, but in fact it was built according to the standard of the stadium, but there is no auditorium, so it is not very obvious.

Yuchi Baolin has a dark face, he was so dark that he couldn't tell the difference, now this treatment is obviously the expression after receiving the money, but he has no choice but to listen to what the teacher says, otherwise he will get a bad review if he doesn't obey the teacher , they had no choice but to admit it.

Chapter 64 Hunter Training Class

Yuan Shan didn't intend to just let Yuchi Baolin and the others go. The structure of the wooden house is simple, and with the addition of bricks and stones at the bottom, it can be built very quickly.

With these strong soldiers joining in, logging and transporting, piling and beam installation, a wooden house has been built in one morning, and the rest is to assemble the walls with wood and then use it.

That is to say, the wooden houses built here are relatively complicated. If you switch to marching and fighting, you will not have such treatment at all. Even stationing and building barracks will be simpler than this.

There are a total of ten institutions in a row of wooden houses, but there are no partitions or walls.

The craftsmen in charge of the construction are studying the drawings given by Yuan Shan with Yuchi Baolin, and now they have completed the frame of the wooden house, with a latrine next to it, a pig house, a warehouse, and a garden. At first glance, it looks like a rural area. Compound?

At noon, Yuan Shan came to see Yuchi Baolin and the others, and the things arranged in the morning were done very quickly.
