[Seventy-five] The first dandy in the Song Dynasty

This project is a bit huge...

After reading the blueprints, both Pang Yu and Zhao Jue felt that it would take a little effort to build the fortress.

It was Zhao Jue who said, it's just a matter of effort, the king has plenty of money, so if you want to build it, build the best one!

The castle is built on a high place so it is not easy to attack the city, and there is no shelter around it. Even if the two of them have no common sense, they know that the existence of shelters is difficult to detect.

So the outside of the castle is all trimmed turf, and further away is the field of sweet potatoes, potatoes and peanuts. Those things don’t grow very high, and they can also generate income for the castle. Why not do it.

Ever since they discovered that there are a lot of fruits here, and they are also very sweet, Zhao Jue and Pang Yu have simply started a happy daily life of eating fruits, and it is so right to come here!

Pang Yu and Zhao Jue didn't know yet that they came here was designed by someone, they just thought that Zhao Jue was lucky, where did they eat so many delicious fruits in the north.

Eating all-you-can-eat fruits, even Pang Yu, can only enjoy the treatment in modern times. The problem is that modern fruits are still expensive, so if you really want to eat them openly, your flesh will hurt.

It's different here, not to mention the cheap fruit, even if it rolls down from the tree, no one will pick it up, and it just rots in the ground, anyway, there are plenty of them on the tree.

Seeing Pang Yu and Zhao Jue feel distressed for a while, Pang Yu decided to make canned sugar water!

Anyway, there are so many kinds of fruits here, it's not too convenient to make them into cans, and compared to fresh fruits, canned fruits are another taste.

Fruits like lychees are not easy to eat in Bianliang, and they are so difficult to preserve. Zhao Jue has also eaten lychees from tributes before, but they are far less delicious than Wuxiang City here.

Moreover, the lychees sent were rather wasteful. The entire lychee tree was sent into the capital together with the tree and the soil. Zhao Heng felt that this was too wasteful for the people and money, so he stopped doing this.

After making canned lychees, he must give some to his brothers, so that they can know how happy he is here.

Along with Zhao Jue came the cotton cloth he had woven before. Cotton cloth has many benefits, such as easy to keep warm, soft and close-fitting, hygroscopic and breathable. According to Pang Yu's drawing, the embroiderers gave Zhao Jue Waiting for someone to sew new clothes, the weather in Yongcheng is hot and the humidity is high, if they still wear their clothes from Bianliang, it will be too uncomfortable.

No, they went to the countryside and changed into short clothes. The embroiderer was very happy. The short clothes are easy to make. Basically, they can make a lot of clothes in a day. The main reason is that Zhao Jue brought the clothes this time. There are about fifty Xiuniangs, all of whom were gifted by Zhao Heng because he was afraid that others would neglect his younger brother.

Zhao Jue put on new clothes and jumped a few times. It was indeed much easier than the usual clothes, and he was more flexible. The collar and cuffs of the clothes were carefully embroidered with patterns by the embroiderer, making him look special. the spirit of.

After waiting for almost two days, all those people came. The land Zhao Jue bought was far away from Yongcheng, and there was no one around. When the three thousand people finally arrived, they set up camp and started laying the foundation. The cellar is a must Yes, with a labor force of more than 3000 people, it is not slow to build a house. Zhao Jue also secretly mixed the stone bricks he exchanged from the system into the materials. Otherwise, what should we do? The transportation of stones is troublesome, let alone cutting Well, cement is convenient. Anyway, those workshops of his have already started operation. Truckloads of cement have been delivered, and even the workshop of canned fruit is in operation. In fact, it can be done by setting up a shed. The weather here is hot, In addition to the need to pay attention to the rain, there is no need to worry about the cold weather or snow like Bianliang City.

In a place where there is no cold winter, Pang Yu's various cans were quickly made, and the cans made by the glass workshop were perfect!

Thanks to his coming this time, there are enough people to bring them, even if the craftsmen can bring hundreds of them.

Otherwise, why would he have so many people in his fleet, and why would he lead them with confidence? If he was going to a poor place, his brother would never refuse.

Zhao Jue just felt that he was really busy. He tasted the first batch of canned food before it was bottled. Well, it was a good time!

After he was full, it was his turn to send it to the capital. That's right, the first batch of canned food was something he honored his brother.

How can one forget flattery? Pang Yu just wanted to give Zhao Jiu a heartfelt compliment.

In modern times, canned sugar water has been sterilized and so on. If it is well preserved, it can be stored for two years. In ancient times, Pang Yu tried his best to keep the canned food for six months or more. If he sent the canned food to the capital, he said Might not last longer.

After the things were sent out, he didn't care about them. By the way, he asked someone to bring a letter to his brother, and wrote five large sheets of paper, such as showing off the delicious fruits here, or despising the poor accommodation here, so he decided to build a house by himself. Wait, anyway, I wrote a bunch of journals in a long-winded manner.

It's not that he loves to write, but that his brother loves to read. As a good and understanding brother, he naturally wants to satisfy his brother's wish.

When I was on the road, I almost reached a port and asked someone to send a letter back. Basically, there are post offices in those places, and it is convenient to send letters.

When he arrived at Yongcheng, it was too remote, and his post office hadn't even opened here, so he could only wait for someone to deliver the things to the port, and the small sea boats would send the things back.

Small sea-going ships do not need to carry too many people and goods because they are not burdensome, so they are naturally fast, and they don’t stop and go like Zhao Jue did before, and take off quickly. It only took half a month to reach Bianliang City Time, this is still the sea route, if you turn from the inland to land and water, the speed will probably be about the same.

After arriving in this place for a month and doing three thousand jobs, the maid came to Zhao Jue and said, "My lord, we still don't have enough people, should we recruit some people from the city?"

"Alright." Zhao Jue agreed immediately, and he didn't really want to exhaust his subordinates to death.

Because it is the prince, he sent people to the yamen directly to find someone. After all, Qianglong didn't fight the local snakes, so he gave them some money. Naturally, the job recruitment went smoothly.

Now is not the time for busy farming, food and housing are included, and wages are paid. Many people from surrounding villages are willing to come here, not to mention men, even strong women, come and try.

Unexpectedly, this new master is very generous, as long as he has the strength to work and registers well, he can let them work.

And the wages are still paid daily, unlike some landlords who hired long-term workers and wished they could be cattle envoys.

The money here is generous, and this spreads ten, ten, and hundreds, and people in nearby villages and even further afield come to find work, and they can get paid for a day's work. Such a good job, where can I find it? .

Originally, those landlords didn't care about it, but when the farming season was busy, they couldn't recruit long-term workers.

If there is another rain, the harvest of the year will be over.

But those farmers don’t care, they are paid for their work anyway, why not choose to pay more, which is better for them?At least the masters here will not treat them as human beings. They can eat three meals a day, and they will be full for every meal, and they will give them one meal of meat every two days on average.

If the performance is outstanding, there is also one meal a day. Advanced workers can have a good meal every day.

This is something they didn't even dare to think about before, but now it's happening in front of them like this. As for fishing in troubled waters, as honest people, they don't dare at all. Those with bad character have no chance to work here .

Those who come to work here will be guaranteed by the head of the village. Everyone has an ID card. If something goes wrong, all the people in the village will be driven away, and they will no longer have the opportunity to continue working here to make money.

No idiot has a good life, but if you want to come here to make trouble and harm people in a village, you probably want to be beaten to death by the whole village, right?

The current villages don’t want to be modern. They all have the same ancestral hall. Anyone who harms a village must be expelled. Without the blessing of the family, it is very difficult to survive.

"You, and you all, stop!" On the construction site, a few men in yamen uniforms suddenly came, yelling to stop the workers.

"Who are you? Why do you want us to stop?" The guards were working as supervisors today. When someone came in, he stood up immediately. There were only five or six yamen servants, and there seemed to be a dozen or so people who looked like servants behind them.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand, I'm not allowed to do it anyway!" When had the yamen servant seen such a polite questioner, he waved his hands and said arrogantly.

"Master, I know this is the official of Nanlin County." The man who was working beside him whispered to another guard.

"Nanlin County? How far is it from here?" The guard asked puzzled since he followed Zhao Jue to this place and never left.

"It's not too far away. It's these officials who are not easy to get along with in Nanlin on weekdays." It means that these people are here to cause trouble.

This was said in a tactful way, probably because he was afraid that the other party would hear it. The guards went to find Zhao Xiaochong wearing short vests. How could they go to their prince for such a thing? How troublesome.

In addition, Zhao Xiaochong's usual impression is that he is a powerful martial artist, and he has some prestige in their army.If it weren't for a woman, I'm afraid it's the position of the official family today, and it may be who's turn to sit.

"What? Someone is looking for trouble?!" As soon as Zhao Xiaochong heard this, he immediately went out with her sword in his hand.

The palace maids following behind are simply black lines, their princesses are good at everything, but they can't bear the peaceful days, at least put away the excited expression on their faces!

Is it so happy that someone came to cause trouble?

What can I say, I naturally followed to have a look. The maids picked up their weapons and rushed up.

Every court lady following Zhao Xiaochong basically has a good martial arts. This is not Zhao Heng's idea, mainly Zhao Jue's. As far as his niece's temper is concerned, it is easy for one person to suffer. After learning martial arts for a few years, although it is not enough to fight alone, it is still possible for a group of girls to fight together.

They have grown up together since they were young, and they are together every day. They have a perfect understanding, and they can understand each other's meaning with a single look. It is the most suitable for them to fight together.
