Go to ancient times and engage in construction

A sexual dream delayed the time to wake up, Zheng Yuming got up, washed up briefly, and put on the dark clothes specially made for meeting Mr. Ulsan.This hazy dark vermilion deep clothing reminded Zheng Yuming of the dream last night, thinking of the seemingly real and illusory adulterous scene, Zheng Yuming's face couldn't help getting hot, and his eyes couldn't help looking at Chu Chaohui.

"Yu Ming, red matches you very well!" Standing beside Zheng Yuming, Chu Chaohui had undisguised appreciation and even amazement in his eyes.

"Let's go, it's too late." Zheng Yuming bowed his head and hurried out. He originally chose vermilion for the festival, but if he chose Chu Chaohui's dark blue, maybe he wouldn't have seen it last night. Dreaming of getting married, if you don't dream of getting married, you won't have that vivid spring dream.

"If you don't eat breakfast, you have to bring some snacks." Chu Chaohui grabbed the steaming steamed buns on the table and put them in a small bamboo basket. He also took a pot of soy milk and brought them to the carriage for Zheng Yuming's breakfast.

The means of transportation to Dacheng is a carriage, which was jointly developed by a valley blacksmith and a carpenter. The style of the carriage refers to the four-wheeled carriage in the Western Middle Ages.The wheels are made of iron, and the iron tires are covered with a layer of resin. After being boiled, the resin is similar to rubber, elastic and shock-absorbing.However, there is no wear-resistant rubber, and resin tires will wear out after a period of use, and new tires must be replaced.Zheng Yuming has never seen a tree species that produces this kind of rubber-like resin. Only trees that are more than a hundred years old in deep mountains and old forests can secrete it.

When felling big trees in the valley, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui discovered the resin secreted by the fracture of the big trees, and hurriedly preserved these century-old trees. When there is no rubber, this resin is a good substitute.However, due to poor technology, tires can only be made into solid ones.

Just like the history of the Celestial Dynasty in the 21st century, there were two-wheeled carriages in Daqin mainland a long time ago. In the time and space of the 21st century, when Qin Shihuang drove a horse-drawn carriage to fight east and west, China's horse-drawn carriages were already quite developed. After Qin Shihuang unified the country, the use of horse-drawn carriages The wheel base and the width of the road were also unified so that the carriage could pass quickly, which shows the importance and popularity of the carriage at that time.People who have visited the Qinling Mausoleum can understand why the Chinese have been ahead of the world for thousands of years. It is hard to imagine that those details and craftsmanship were made thousands of years ago.

The manufacturing level of carriages at this time and space was also very high, but the steering gear was not invented. With the steering gear information provided by Zheng Yuming, a flexible and convenient four-wheeled carriage was produced.Using resin tires and adding copper spring shock absorbers between the carriage and the wheels, even if the road is uneven, sitting in a four-wheeled carriage is more comfortable than a two-wheeled carriage or mule cart.

Both Zheng and Chu wore formal dresses when they went to Dacheng to pay New Year's greetings. The snow that fell before the end of the year was melting, and the ground was muddy. Riding a horse to Dacheng would stain their clothes.So this time they went to Dacheng to use a new means of transportation.The carriage was driven by a slave groom in the valley, and Wei Qing and Huo Sizhong rode behind the carriage.Huo Sihua was left in Nanbu. Master Wu learned how to be a female celebrity with Wu's wife. Zheng and Chu didn't need Huo Sihua to become an expert female celebrity, but it's always good for girls to learn some female celebrities. After all, this society is not an industrialized society, and everything It can be bought for money.

After the unique style of carriage arrived at Ulsan Monarch's Mansion in Dalseong, it attracted the attention of the nobles of Dalseong who arrived first. Chen Meng, the patriarch of the Chen clan who had a close relationship with Zheng Chu, even climbed into the carriage and let the slave driver of the carriage Drive him around Ulsan Junfu.

"This kind of car is good, can you help me build one?" Chen Meng got off the car with a look of nostalgia, and while no one was paying attention, he pulled Zheng Yuming to ask.

"Well, Patriarch Chen, there are few craftsmen in Nanbu. After the beginning of spring, we have to make farm tools. This car..." Zheng Yuming stared at Chen Meng's small eyes with a look of embarrassment, but in his heart he rolled his eyes at Chen Meng's claim to be an old man. Chen Meng was not even 40 years old. Come on, what kind of old man is this.

"Then the old man will send another blacksmith to Nanbu, how about it?" Chen Meng rolled his eyes and quickly proposed an exchange. His experience in dealing with Zheng Chu told him that these two governors like others to send their craftsmen the most.

"Patriarch Chen, I want to build a car factory." Zheng Yuming pulled Chu Chaohui to his side, and motioned Chu Zhaohui to block him and Chen Meng with his tall and burly body.Don't let other nobles see them talking in secret.

"What is a factory?" Chen Meng's voice was affected by Zheng Yuming's actions, and he quickly lowered his voice.

"It's almost like a workshop, specializing in making carriages." Zheng Yuming whispered into Chen Meng's ear. "Our brothers want to cooperate with Director Chen. Nanbu will produce technology, and the Chen family will produce craftsmen and places."

"Cooperation?" Chen Meng felt that the word was new.

"Let's make this kind of car and sell it to others. After deducting the expenses, the money earned is half of the family. How about it?"

In this time and space, skilled craftsmen are occupied by the nobles, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui can't buy any skilled slaves from the slave market at all, and after the criminal craftsmen exiled to the city are collected by Zheng Yuming, all the refugees in the prison are These ordinary people without skills, and the refugees who come to Nanbu to beg for a living are basically farmers. There is a terrible shortage of skilled workers in Nanbu production, but there are too many products to be developed at hand, and there are not enough craftsmen. It will take three years to train them by themselves. Later, there was a group of apprentices who left the teacher.Faced with this situation, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui discussed finding an alliance in the Dacheng area. The development of Nanbu will attract people's envy sooner or later. Before making the nobles jealous, it is better to take the initiative to drag the nobles into the sea and cooperate with them. Everyone Take the same boat.

"Okay! How do you want to cooperate?" Chen Meng's small eyes were shining.

"Let's find a place to talk about it in detail when we pay New Year's greetings to the young master." Zheng Yuming saw more and more nobles coming to pay New Year's greetings in the yard, and Chu Zhaohui's body could no longer block the sight in all directions.

"After the dinner, we will stay at the old man's house, and we will have a long talk all night." Chen Meng hurriedly arranged to discuss the address in detail.

Young Master Guang looked good when he met the nobles of Dacheng. The news that the marriage between Wu State and Chu State failed and Yi Ji lay on the bed in a rage made the 22-year-old young man feel happy.The Ulsan government has not received the news that Yi Ji has been revived in full condition.Therefore, Young Master Guang's happy mood has been maintained.

After receiving the New Year's greetings from the nobles, Young Master Guang held a banquet at the Junfu in Ulsan. Artists in the Junfu came up to perform. This time, the konghou performed by artist Xin still won the first place and won generous rewards from the nobles present.

"Artist Xin! The reward this time is really generous!" A waiter in Ulsan Junfu who has a good relationship with artist Xin held a plate of gold, silver, and silk as rewards from the nobles, with a look of envy.

Artist Xin smiled slightly, yes, the rewards this time were more generous than in previous years, but Artist Xin was not happy.He looked towards the banquet hall, where the young master Guang in black dark clothes was looking sideways at Nanbu Governor Zheng Yuming, with a smile on his face.Zheng Yuming, who was looking at him, was talking to everyone in the hall, and his complexion was as bright as jade as reflected in his deep red clothes.

"Artist Xin, do you want to call for a carriage?" Young Master Guang didn't tell Artist Xin to stay, and Artist Xin had to leave the palace after the performance.

"Trouble the waiter!" Artist Xin came back to his senses, picked up a piece of gold from the tip and gave it to the fawning waiter.Artist Xin has a good relationship with several waiters of Ulsan Junfu, and he never spares these waiters, often giving them money and silk.

Artist Xin, who was returning to his residence in a mule cart, picked out a piece of jade from the rewards. This was a reward from Young Master Guang. Looking at this bright and clean jade, artist Xin held it tightly in his palm and closed his eyes in pain. Eye.

Young Master Guang brought out the wine from Nanbu today. There were not many wines, only Wei Shen, Young Master Guang's uncles, and patriarchs Chen and Guo. These limited dignitaries were rewarded with a bowl by Young Master Guang.This kind of very sweet and slightly sour wine was very attractive to them. After drinking it, they all asked Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui how to make this kind of fine wine.

There are only two grapes in the yard of the villa. Kyoho grapes are cutting seedlings. The cutting seedlings grow for one year, and it will take three years for the seedlings to bear fruit. Therefore, it will take three or four years to realize the ability to drink wine freely.

"It's a pity, it will take several years to drink such a beautiful wine." Young Master Guang looked at the wine in the jade cup in front of him and regretted it.Against the background of white jade, the reddish wine looks extraordinarily gorgeous, just like Zheng Yuming wearing a red dress.

"Nanbu japonica rice can be used to make rice wine." Chen Meng was most concerned about Nanbu's products, and he also asked about japonica rice that could be used to make wine from Zheng Yuming.

"Using grain to make wine is not advisable." Wei Shen couldn't help but frowned when he heard that. The food in Dacheng area was very tight, so he didn't approve of using grain to make wine.

"In the future, if there is too much food to eat, we can make wine." Seeing that Chen Meng shrank his mouth and did not speak, the atmosphere was a bit tense, so he hurriedly made a sound to smooth things over.

"Governor Zheng, let me tell you how much japonica rice can be produced per mu." Wei Shen frowned, and the yield of japonica rice per mu made him happy.

"Eh..." Since Zheng Yuming proposed to the nobles to plant japonica rice next year, Wei Shen asked him to introduce the production of japonica rice whenever he saw Zheng Yuming.After many times, Zheng Yuming would suspect that Wei Shen had Alzheimer's.

"Zheng Qing, Chu Qing, tell Guang about the New Year in Bermuda." Seeing that Wei Shen called Zheng Yuming to talk in a commonplace, young master Guang changed the topic with a smile.

"As soon as the end of the year in Bermuda, the wanderers will try their best to go home and reunite." Zheng Yuming thought for a while, and began to organize words to describe the Spring Festival travel of the Celestial Dynasty.

"Why do people in Bermuda go far away to make a living? Why don't they stay with their parents? If they all stay with their parents, there will be no mule carts blocking the road." Gongzi Guang didn't understand why people in Bermuda wanted to stay away hometown.What Zheng Yuming described to him was the traffic jam on the Spring Festival Expressway. Of course, the car was changed to a mule cart.

"It's not that I like it, it's that I can't help it." Zheng Yuming was about to go crazy, how difficult it is to describe a modern society as similar to a slave society.Seeing Zheng Yuming's troubled look, Chu Chaohui couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. When Zheng Yuming described a group of mule carts jammed on the highway, he almost spit out the wine from his mouth.

"I can't help it." Young Master Guang's face suddenly became lonely. "Yeah, who likes to leave home."

"My lord!" Wei Shen was worried.

"Wei Sheren, I'm fine." Young Master Guang smiled at Wei Shen. After leaving King Wu's capital ten years ago, Young Master Guang never got to visit the place where he lived when he was young.

Chu Chaohui glanced at the pair of city lords and courtiers, and felt pity for the young man in his heart. The young master lost his mother's love and his father's love at the same time. The king of Wu in Wu Wangdu obviously didn't take this son very seriously. .All the paternal love of Young Master Guang can only be obtained from Wei Shen, no wonder Young Master Guang wants to call Wei Shen his father in private.There was only one time when Gong Ziguang lost his composure in front of Chu Chaohui, and Chu Chaohui remembered it firmly.

Chu Chaohui's New Year's holiday was very short. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he took the fifty slave soldiers who had been training for half a year to go out for actual combat.The actual combat location is in a place where there are bandits.These places are very remote and not crowded, and bandits are small groups of people. According to the information collected by Chu Zhaohui, the largest group of bandits is no more than 30 to [-] people.

"Be careful!" Zheng Yuming looked at Chu Chaohui who was packing his bags, feeling very uneasy.

"It's okay, these little thieves, it's easy to clean them up. The main purpose of using them to practice is to enhance the training effect." Chu Zhaohui raised his head and grinned at Zheng Yuming, very happy with the worried expression on Zheng Yuming's face.

"It's better to be careful." Zheng Yuming has hunted with Chu Zhaohui countless times, and has seen Chu Zhaohui's skills.

"Well, I'll be careful." Chu Chaohui put down his luggage and walked in front of Zheng Yuming. "It's you, pay more attention when I'm away. If there is any danger, don't worry about it. Find a place to hide and talk about it when I come back."

"What's the danger for me in the valley and Nanbu?" Zheng Yuming gave Chu Chaohui a blank look. The loyalty of the slaves in the valley to their masters is obvious after being brainwashed by Fan Jin day and night.The villagers in Nanbu live a life that has never been rich, and the maintenance of the main family is also obvious.

"Don't go to Dacheng twice, it's better to keep a distance with Young Master Guang, so as not to let Wei Shen look at you." Chu Chaohui hesitated, but still expressed his worry, Young Master Guang's behavior towards Zheng Yuming became more and more intimate, this It upset Chu Chaohui and made Wei Shen pay more attention to Zheng Yuming.

"I'm not that kind of person!" Zheng Yuming's face was a little hot, and the news of the broken sleeve had already spread among the common people in Dacheng.

"What kind of person?" The corner of Chu Chaohui's mouth twitched. When Zheng Yuming heard about this, he was so angry that he dropped the ashtray in the small living room on the second floor of the villa. soot.

"That's the kind..." Zheng Yuming suddenly thought of the erotic dream on the first night of the first lunar month, his face twitched, and he began to feel hot.

"Yu Ming, keep a distance from Young Master Guang, we are not in the same category as him."

"I understand." Zheng Yuming sighed slightly. Young Master Guang has been pampered since he was a child. As the son of a lord, he has developed the habit of looking down from top to bottom. No matter how much he likes Zheng Yuming, the process of getting along is not an equal treatment.To Zheng Yuming, it feels like people in the 21st century doting on pets.With this unequal way of getting along, even if Zheng Yuming had a good impression of Young Master Guang, he still couldn't feel like a confidant.

"I'm leaving! Don't think too much about me!" Taking advantage of Zheng Yuming's distraction, Chu Zhaohui gave him a hug, quickly let go of him, packed his bags and walked out of the villa.

Chu Chaohui's actions made Zheng Yuming stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, Chu Zhaohui had already walked outside the gate of the villa.On the open space outside the courtyard gate of the villa, fifty slave soldiers were lined up in a straight line. Wei Qing was leading two horses and standing at the front of the line, waiting for Chu Chaohui.

The slave soldiers did not wear rattan armor when they went out of the valley this time. They wore double-breasted short jackets on their upper bodies, trousers on their lower bodies, a belt around their waists, cloth shoes on their feet, and leggings below their knees. All of them carried linen backpacks on their backs. Dry food and necessities.The initial plan for this outing training is one month.

The slave soldiers had all kinds of weapons, including bows and arrows, crossbows, broadswords, spears, and wooden sticks.

After half a year of training, the entire spirit of this group of slave soldiers has been reborn, just standing there, there is a faint power.

The other young male slaves in the valley stared at this row of slave soldiers with envious eyes.Soldiers are originally a symbol of noble status in people's minds. It is not easy for ordinary civilians in Daqin to become a tiger, so people in this world respect soldiers very much.Although the slaves in the valley cannot be called soldiers, the slaves feel that they are tigers, and only tigers can have such an aura.What's more, the soldiers are paid every month, and the young slaves are yearning for the generous salary.

The fact that Fan Jin got married years ago and Da Zhuang got engaged years ago encouraged the slaves in the valley even more, because the two had a house.The slaves felt that it was because they had a beautiful brick house that they married the two most beautiful women in the valley.There are not many unmarried women in the valley, and everyone wants to own a house first so that they can pre-arrange marriage.

The slaves who work in agriculture and factories in the valley, according to their current income, need two years to save enough for the down payment of brick and tile houses, and if they serve as soldiers, they can save enough in one year. After that, everyone can have their own house. At that time, the parents of unmarried girls in the valley will only choose slave soldiers to be their son-in-law.There are few porridge and many monks, so how can the young slaves who are not soldiers not be impatient.

Chu Zhaohui led Wei Qing out of the valley with the slave soldiers, headed east of Nanbu, south of Dacheng, walked there for a day, there was a mountain range, the mountains were sparsely populated, the bandits settled there, and the bandits robbed The object is a businessman who bypasses the business.Dacheng went to the king of Wu to pass by the mountain range, and traders who went to the East China Sea to sell salt also passed here.

This mountain range is close to Dacheng, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Dacheng. The people who robbed were the businessmen of Dacheng. Logically, it was the Dacheng area that suffered economic losses.However, because the nobles of Great Qin looked down on merchants, they believed that merchants were not engaged in production, could not create wealth, and had no positive effect on their territories, so they were unwilling to protect the interests of merchants.

Wei Shen is exactly the nobleman who holds this point of view. He feels that these bandits who don't reach the city to rob are not dangerous, unlike the bandits in Chu State in the west who will cross the border to rob noble manors. Wei Shen's all armed guards are only directed at Chu State. Bandits in the country.This also caused the number of merchants who arrived in the city to do business by land to decrease year by year. Some merchants who originally took the land route diverted to the water route and took a detour to go ashore from Nanbu to reach the city.

Chu Chaohui cleaned up these bandits, one for training, and the other for the circulation between Dacheng and the outside world. Dacheng's business roads are smooth, which is only good for Nanbu.Suppressing bandits kills two birds with one stone.
