Go to ancient times and engage in construction

The mud houses of the slaves are built at the junction of the transferred 21st century soil and forest, that is, houses are built along the edge of the transfer area as large as the football field. After the completed mud houses surround the villas, they are moved around the villas. Plant some tall trees so that people who enter the valley will not be able to see the villa in the future, so that it will attract less attention.The valley is not really a paradise, except that the gap channel can be entered, and hunters can see the face of the valley from the top of the surrounding mountains, and the wooden boats in the west can go ashore from there.When the valley develops to a certain extent, it will definitely communicate with the outside world, and the unique villas can only choose to hide.

Among the 21 slaves who came to the valley first, except Da Zhuang, who was left in Nanbu to help the blacksmiths in the village improve their iron-smelting technology (the smelting technology of Chu State is superior to that of Wu State), the other [-] slaves lived in the valley. A month later, all of them cherished the life in front of them very much. This time, they were assigned by Chu Chaohui to take care of and help the craftsmen and their families. Every slave seemed to be dedicated and serious.

Chu Zhaohui took Wei Qing to stand at the gate of the courtyard and kept observing. After they finished dinner, they consciously went back to the mud house to rest, and then went back to the worker's kitchen in the courtyard for dinner. From then on, the life of the five people and the slaves in the villa Areas are divided.

The brothers and sisters of the Huo family and Wei Qing have been in Guzhong for more than a month, their faces have become much ruddy, and their stature has also grown a little.Now Huo Sihua not only cooks alone, but also learns to cook. Although Huo Sihua is nine years old, he is not tall. He looks like a six- or seven-year-old child in the 21st century. Huo Sihua cooks on the stove and has to stand on a small bench Zheng Yuming went to the kitchen and saw the little girl making dinner for them, his nose was slightly sore, he couldn't help touching the top of the girl's head with his hands, Huo Sihua's hair had just grown to cover the scalp.

"My lord!" Huo Sihua raised his head and smiled shyly at Zheng Yuming.

"Sihua is very capable!" Although Zheng Yuming felt sad, he couldn't help but use child labor. There was a shortage of manpower in the valley, and the children among the prisoners would have to do what they could in the valley in the future.

"Sihua can do many things." Huo Sihua was very happy to be praised.

Today's dinner is cooked white rice, wild boar bones and tofu soup in the iron pot, and what Huo Sihua is mixing is rabbit meat fried with garlic. After this dish is fried, there is also stir-fried vegetables.Today, tofu is ground every day in the valley, and the tofu is used as a dish, and the remaining tofu dregs are used to make cakes, which are rotated with flour cakes for breakfast for the slaves.

After all, Huo Sihua is a nine-year-old child, and his cooking taste is much worse than that of Zheng Yuming, but the people who eat dinner don't care, no matter how bad it is, it is better than the taste outside the valley. Now the seasoning in the villa is much more than that outside the valley. People in China can't even extract vegetable oil.

When Zheng Yuming brought back a group of prisoners from Dacheng, he was kicked by a burly slave, the little milk dog Mu Mu, who was seriously injured. He forgot the pain after healed the scar, and still did not learn his lesson. As soon as the courtyard door opened, he bravely rushed to the prisoners. Before performing his duty, Huo Sihua, who was in charge of taking care of the wood, was so frightened that he carried the wood from the ground into his arms and sent it back to the kitchen and locked it up.

After being kicked by a burly slave a month ago, Mu Mu was mentally exhausted for a few days before recovering. Zheng Yuming had to go to Nanbu during the day, and Mu Mu couldn't see his master. After Zheng Yuming returned to the valley at night, Mu Mu became very attached to him. , basically following Zheng Yuming's feet every step of the way.

After dinner in the evening, Mu Mu lay on Zheng Yuming's instep to sleep. Mu Mu did this so that he could follow his master at any time.

Zheng and Chu didn't go upstairs after dinner. They each made a cup of green tea and sat talking. The three children learned the ten Arabic numerals they taught them.For the eyes of the children, two pine torches were lit in the kitchen. These torches are also very expensive. Not many ordinary people are willing to use them. They basically go to bed at dark and get up at dawn.

"That Chen Meng is a character!" Chu Zhaohui drank tea and smoked a cigarette.

"Well, this Chen Meng is very pragmatic."

"This person should make more friends in the future."

"Mr. Ulsan is quite generous, and he is very polite to you." Chu Chaohui spoke of the city lord of Dalseong, with the corners of his mouth slightly twitching.

"The gentleman of Ulsan is a good man, and he loves the people very much." Zheng Yuming had a good impression of Young Master Guang.

"No matter how good he is, he is still a great slave owner, and his nature cannot be changed!" Chu Chaohui raised his eyebrows.

"That can't be helped, this is the limitation of the times." Zheng Yuming spread his hands.

Chu Chaohui took a breath of smoke, squinted at his companion from the smoke, and heard Zheng Yuming's experience in Dacheng for the past two days, he felt an indescribable awkwardness in his heart, that Mr. Ulsan paid too much attention to Zheng Yuming.What concerned Chu Chaohui the most was that the last time he went to the Ulsan lord's mansion, he could not see any women in the lord's mansion, and all the Ulsan lords were male dumb slaves.

As soon as the light came on the next day, people in the valley got up. After breakfast, the craftsmen and their families were given tools to build houses for themselves. Some small families built two mud huts, while none In groups of two, each group lives in one room.

Chu Chaohui chose a Gongsun craftsman who had built a house from among the prisoners to be the leader. This Gongsun craftsman had participated in the construction of palaces and palaces. He could understand Chu Chaohui's residential plan when he mentioned it. Mud houses were erected around the villa, equipped with public kitchens, public bathrooms, public toilets, septic tanks were dug behind the toilets, sewers were dug in front of the mud houses, and two wells were dug.

After the mud hut was built, the craftsmen and their families had a shelter, and Chu Chaohui asked them to dig a gap in the passageway so that a mule cart could pass through the narrowest part of the gap, and installed a wooden door at the entrance of the passageway into the valley. , built an outpost next to the wooden gate, and in the future nights, trusted people will be sent here to guard it.

There is a wooden door to block it, so people outside the valley are not afraid of entering the valley through the gap.After finishing this, Chu Chaohui led them to continue to cut down the forest. Women are also the main labor force here. They follow the men to dig the soil and open up wasteland. The children are also used. Pick up rocks and go to the edge of the forest to gather some firewood.Fan Jin, who was appointed as a teacher by Zheng Yuming, was only a teacher for half a day, and had to work with a hoe in the second half of the day. Among all the people, only the witch doctor did not need to do any farming work. This witch doctor named Jiang Gui was assigned to go to the mountains every day Pick herbs.

While Chu Chaohui was busy in the valley, Zheng Yuming was also busy in Nanbu.Chen Meng and the five artisans sent by the Ulsan Junfu have settled down in Nanbu.The brick kiln in Nanbu Village has been built and started to fire bricks. People in this time and space already know how to fire bricks and tiles, but the fired bricks and tiles are used by the noble class, and ordinary people rarely use these materials on the ground to build houses. .After the bricks and tiles from the brick kiln in Nanbu Village were fired, the first batch of bricks and tiles were used by Zheng Yuming to build a blacksmith workshop. It was said to be a blacksmith workshop, but it was actually an iron factory. After the blast furnace was built, it would become a steel factory. The factory can only be called a workshop, because the current blacksmith can only produce some agricultural tools.

Half a month later, Wu Mu came back with two boats full of cotton and linen raw materials and two thousand gold. The two thousand gold was the payment for the textile factory, and the raw materials on board were Wu Mu's profit.This time, Wu Mu went to Chu State to sell cloth. The quality of the cloth produced by Nanbu Textile Factory was really good. Even if it was raw white cloth, a big businessman from Chu State immediately ate it up after seeing it, and made an appointment with Wu Mu. next batch.If Wu Mu had taken the money back then, he could have returned five days earlier, but Wu Mu was a born businessman. After he learned that the raw materials of cotton and linen in Chudi were cheaper than Dacheng, he decisively bought two ships and escorted them back. The port was then sold to Nanbu Textile Factory at the price of Dacheng.

After Zheng Yuming knew that Wu Mu was earning the price difference from him, he was not angry but happy, and asked Wu Mu to pay more attention to the things that Nanbu needed in the future, as long as the price was comparable, he would buy them.

Wu Mu handed over two thousand gold to Zheng Yuming, and after unloading all the goods, he filled the wooden boat with cloth and did not even go home, so he went to Chu State to do business again. Zheng Yuming was surprised when he saw this businessman who wanted money but not home. With their mouths wide open, no matter what time and space or dynasty they are in, the profit-seeking nature of businessmen is the same.Before Wu Mu sailed, Zheng Yuming hurriedly stopped him, and asked Wu Mu to come back with two ships of waste distiller's grains in Qingzhuang, Chu. Zheng Yuming was going to use the distiller's grains to make vinegar.

With the two thousand pieces of gold for selling cloth, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui's hands were much looser, and the two of them could let go of their work a little bit. Chu Zhaohui ran to Dacheng a few times alone, and bought some slaves from Dacheng.Zheng Yuming instructed the blacksmith to make a Quyuan plow, and asked Nanbu villagers to plow a few acres of rice seedlings, preparing to sow rice seeds. The land around Nanbu will no longer be all planted with beans, but will be mainly planted with rice.

At the beginning of April, there were several spring rains in a row, and the temperature rose sharply. People took off their jackets and put on unlined clothes. All the trees turned green within a few days. Transition to spring.

Everywhere in Dacheng is full of spring, but Ulsan Lord's mansion is full of gloom. The news of Dacheng is delivered one after another in the palace of King Wu, which makes Ulsan Lord and Wei Shen worried.
