Unlimited Food Plan

"Old grandson, this is Mrs. Xie, the magistrate!" The old grandson's words startled Qian Gongshu, fearing that he would not understand the situation and offend the magistrate, he quickly stepped forward to scold him. With a voice, "Who are you with, your mother, your mother!"

"This, this... met the county magistrate..." Upon hearing this, Old Sun was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to plead guilty.Old grandchildren can climb trees. They are too old to know their destiny. Their hair is gray, and the old people are a little stooped. Although they are flexible, they are already old.

It was impossible for Du Changqiu to see such an elderly man kneeling before him, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the old Sun's head, and said with a smile: "Old Sun, I came suddenly, and I didn't notify everyone,? It's okay. "

Before Old Sun panicked, Du Changqiu explained the reason for his visit: "Old Sun, is that so? I'm here this time to discuss with you about the firing of bricks."

Du Changqiu respected these front-line skilled workers very much, because these people had real skills, and they were also skilled workers who had accumulated a lot of first-line production experience. It would be most effective for Du Changqiu to tell them what he thought.

Moreover, people who have been working on technology all year round do not have so many eyes, so they are not so cautious when it comes to work.

Sure enough, when Du Changqiu spoke like this, the old grandson also forgot about kneeling. As soon as he heard Du Changqiu talk about the next brick gap, the old man's face immediately squeezed together, showing a very distressed look, and hesitated for a while , sighed, and said softly: "Well, let me tell you the truth, the brick kiln has a total of more than [-] people working together day and night, and can produce up to [-] pieces of bricks and stones a month. No matter how much, I really can't do it without sleep. It's over..."

"So I came here because I really have the same idea as your grandson." Du Changqiu glanced at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who had come down from the tree with a smile and said, "I think what your grandson said is quite right, Brick and Stone It's good that this thing is beautiful and sturdy, but now I want you to bring people to burn red bricks."

"Red bricks?" Old Suntou knew about red bricks, but for master craftsmen like them, the red bricks were completely waste products from the inexperienced firing of apprenticeships.

After all, the preliminary preparations for burning blue bricks are similar to those for red bricks, but for blue bricks, in addition to paying attention to the heat of the brick kiln, more attention should be paid to the time when the kiln is out of the kiln. The process of turning high temperature into water vapor prevents air circulation, thereby creating an oxygen-deficient environment in the brick kiln, and the ferric oxide in the masonry is reduced to ferrous oxide.

The difference in color between red bricks and blue bricks is actually the difference in the external performance of ferric oxide and ferrous oxide.Ferric oxide will appear red, while ferrous oxide will appear cyan when left.

Of course, apart from the difference in color, it goes without saying that blue bricks are stronger and more durable.

In short, in Lao Suntou's lifetime, he has lived to be more than 50 years old, and he has never encountered such a magical request from an adult. He blurted out in shock, and asked repeatedly: "Is this asking us to burn waste bricks?!"

"My lord, how can this be called burning waste bricks?!" Before Du Changqiu could speak, the grandson next to him couldn't help but speak. Hearing that the fairy-like Master Xie in front of him wanted red bricks, he suddenly felt I have found my confidant in life, and now I am talking straight up, and I keep saying, "I would have said it a long time ago, the red brick is easy to fire, and it can be turned into a kiln. You don't listen to me, you have to stick to it." A few old brick kilns have been fired for a period of ten days. If it is red bricks, let’s repair more kilns and fire them in turn. After one side is fired, the other side can be released. More tricks Those who break brick embryos, our brick kiln may only be able to produce [-] pieces of bricks and stones in ten days!"

Du Changqiu was very excited when he heard what the young man said, it was as if he had fallen asleep and had a pillow, and he didn't bother to persuade the old grandson, so he patted the young grandson very appreciatively, and said repeatedly: "This young man is right. , Then, then I will let you take charge of the matter of burning red bricks and recruiting people, and I will ask Li Zan to help you do it tomorrow morning, just let it go!"

When Du Changqiu said this, Xiao Sun didn't have time to be happy. He glanced at his master, and saw that the old Sun's face became anxious. By the age of sixteen, you can talk freely at a young age, how can it be easy to do five thousand bricks in ten days, and please don't care about this kid..."

Du Changqiu knew what Old Sun was afraid of at a glance. After all, as craftsmen, what they were most afraid of was that the output was estimated to be too high. Instead, he blindly felt that the people below were being lazy.

The household registrations of these craftsmen are all hung on the household books in the county. They often come and go involuntarily, and their status is very low. In this era, they belong to the lowly status.The only advantage of doing these jobs is that the county government can pay a few wages every month, but not much. As far as Du Changqiu saw the records, it was less than a penny a month.

That is one hundred pennies.

This one hundred cash seems to be a lot, but this is the era of five or six hundred cash per liter of salt, and most of it is labor work, food is not a small amount, and a family has to be supported, and life is also tight.

What's even more troublesome is that if something bad happens, the county government won't pay any money, and these officials and craftsmen will starve to death and have nothing to reason with.

Therefore, I am extra cautious and understandable.

"Don't be afraid, I won't set a rigid monthly payment." Du Changqiu reassured the old father-in-law when he opened his mouth. Technical consultant. If you can deliver [-] pieces of bricks and stones this month, each person in the management post will be rewarded with one qian; You can bring your own team, in addition to the monthly salary, the bonus is also calculated in this way."

"Really?!" Hearing the movement outside, some masters in the brick kiln also came out to check. There were more than 20 brick-burning people, and only a dozen of them were skilled, and most of them took their nephews as apprentices. Upon hearing the news, everyone's eyes lit up one after another, and those who had the guts couldn't help but blurt out.

"Of course it's true." Du Changqiu smiled and said, "A pig was dragged up the mountain today, don't you know?"

If other adults say, they will not believe it.But Li Zandian passed by on the road not far from their brick kiln. How could they not know that they had been envious for a long time when they heard the movement in the morning.

Besides, men, women and children in the city now come to them every day to carry bricks and stones. The bricks and stones accumulated over the years are almost exhausted. Every day, listening to them happily asking each other how much money each other makes, how can people in the brick kiln not be envious? ?

Hearing this now, everyone was gearing up, nodded happily, and agreed to this matter.

Even Lao Suntou's brows relaxed. Du Changqiu took care of the affairs here and took Qian Gongshu all the way to the city.

Qian Gongshu was very curious, how to do the burning of cement, why didn't the adults explain it together at the brick kiln?

However, during the short time we got along, Qian Gongshu was probably familiar with Master Xie's temper at this moment. He looked very gentle, but in fact he had a very good plan in everything he did. Usually, everyone only saw the superficial step. The ten steps behind my lord have already been taken.

When encountering such a young adult who is so wise and close to a monster, Qian Gongshu can only sigh in his heart that the children of the big family are extraordinary after all, and they do things differently from ordinary people.

Qian Gongshu didn't speak, and the two rode together towards the city.Strange to say, the horse under Qian Gongshu's ass seemed to have identified the cow under Master Xie as the leading horse, and it was not disobedient at all along the way. The book's horse obediently followed behind. When the calf stopped, the horse stopped immediately.

Looking at Qian Gong's book, he was secretly amazed, and thought in his heart, this long-haired calf looks so naive, but there must be a reason why a child like Mr. Xie treats it as a precious pet.

"I've met the county magistrate!" Du Changqiu didn't know that Qian Gongshu was diverting his thoughts behind him. He rode Fanxing and took Qian Gongshu all the way into the city. He didn't stop at all on the road and went straight to the county. Go where the Yamen is.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, Du Changqiu didn't go in. Instead, he patted Fanxing. Fanxing understood what he meant, so he kicked off and walked all the way to the military room without needing to speak.

At the gate of the barracks, the soldiers guarding saw a fairy-like young man sitting on the back of a round long-haired cow, looking at the picture abruptly and harmoniously, the two small black horns on the head of the long-haired calf, running When he got up, the fur on his body fluttered in the wind, and his features were very obvious.

Even though he had never met the county magistrate, Guan Bingshu told him many times that this is the county magistrate's favorite pet, and he should not be disturbed when he meets him while walking in the county town.Therefore, these soldiers knew Du Changqiu's identity in an instant, and hurriedly greeted him: "I have seen the county magistrate!"

"Where is Guan Bingshu?" Du Changqiu walked up and down Fanxing's back and was led by soldiers all the way. Soon he arrived at the martial arts arena in the inner courtyard, and saw Guan Bingshu holding a gun, dancing with great wind.

There is a saying about weapons, "one inch is long, one inch is strong; one inch is short, one inch is dangerous".It is said that people who use short daggers and knives are mostly ruthless characters who fight for their lives, while people who use long weapons naturally have many advantages.

Many people will understand that only those who use short blades are real masters, but they don't understand it that way. For example, when Du Changqiu saw Guan Bingshuwu, the seven-foot-long knife was two meters long according to Daye's conversion. It is taller than a human being, and the blade alone is more than one meter long. When it is swung, the wind howls, and you can tell that this sword is not light.

It is also enough to know that the lethality of this weapon is absolutely astonishing.

Thinking of Guan Bingshu's appetite, Du Changqiu felt that he had reason to suspect that Guan Bingshu might never have had enough.

"My lord!" Guan Bingshu also saw Du Changqiu coming, he put away the gun with one hand, and strode over to greet him.

"From now on, you don't have to salute like this every time you see him." Du Changqiu supported him, but his hands didn't have any strength, so he was staggered by Guan Bingshu and almost fell to the ground.

He swayed a few steps before standing still, coughed, pretended not to notice the little details of the embarrassment, and quickly diverted Guan Bingshu's attention: "Guan Bingshu, is your subordinate free recently?"

"My lord, to tell you the truth, many men serving in the military are at home now, and the daily food and grass provided by the barracks is indeed a bit embarrassing..." Du Changqiu asked, and Guan Bingshu immediately began to sell miserably.

"That's a good relationship." With one sentence from Du Changqiu, Guan Bingshu's misery was completely interrupted. Guan Bingshu was choked up, and he let out a confused "Huh?"

Du Changqiu came here to find Guan Bingshu for business. In fact, Guan Bingshu's subordinates should have at least three to 5000 militiamen according to the daily establishment of the Daye County Government.

Guangyuan County still has garrisons, but the south is full of small tribes, so naturally large troops are stationed in the county bordering the Western Regions to guard against threshing grain and grass there, and Huarong County does not take care of them.

Three to five thousand militiamen are enough to deal with daily emergencies around them, but the problem is that the previous Mr. Wang was too greedy. To support this group of out-of-production militiamen needs at least tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. How can Mr. Wang be willing to give up this money? Besides, the officials in Daye were corrupt, and the money could not be allocated from top to bottom. Naturally, these militiamen who served in the service gradually became paper service, and each went to find a way out.

This is also something that can’t be helped. This system is the most popular in Daye. It doesn’t care about how to support the local people, and the treasury can’t allocate money.

Not only is this the case in the locality, but even the generals stationed in the frontier, many of them are false figures, the private soldiers of the kings are doing well, and the soldiers who defend their homes and the country in the frontier are so poor that they can’t afford food. It's a very normal thing.

Du Changqiu's feeling about this is that if this bunch of fucked up bastards can sustain civil strife for so long, they should have seen signs of it here.

He can't control others for the time being, but at least when running Huarong County, Du Changqiu must ensure good force. When necessary, he may even require all the young and strong in the county to become combat power.

Because Xie Yong'an has been trapped in the back house all the time, he doesn't know much about the world's major events at all, so Du Changqiu doesn't know where the prefect of Guangyuan County came from at the moment. Seeing the prefect of Guangyuan County, Xie Yongan saw a very humble and gentle middle-aged man in his 40s.

Wearing a blue satin gown and a black knitted hat, he doesn't look like an official, but a hermit in the mountains.

It's just that this hermit in the mountains, in the troubled times, has been in and out of the mansion of the late emperor Young Ziyu for a long time, and even got a lot of use.

That's all the information Du Changqiu knew, Prince Yu was also one of the important people who trapped Xie Yongan.That young son of the former emperor had a vicious temperament, after snatching away Xie Yong'an, he especially liked to play tricks to humiliate others, Xie Yong'an wanted to die a few times, all in Prince Yu's mansion, living a life would be worse than death.

Now that it was him, Du Changqiu definitely tried his best to avoid this kind of result. He understood that Hua Rong would soon become a big piece of fat with the news of salt production. You have to start grabbing it right away.

However, if he resumes training immediately now, his actions will appear particularly abrupt during this period when the chaos is not visible and all parties are still dormant.

Du Changqiu had to avoid unnecessary suspicion, but he also needed to use these people quickly, so of course he couldn't listen to Guan Bingshu's complaints, let alone allocate funds to the military room.

But Du Changqiu had his own plans, so he stopped Guan Bingshu from continuing, and said quickly: "That's right, I have a very important matter, and I need you to transfer 2000 people from the military room, and each person will be paid every month. The salary is tentatively set at [-] Wen, since the county government doesn’t have much money right now, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until I sell the salt to make up for it, I wonder if you’re sure you can convince everyone?”

"Will you pack the rice?" Guan Bingshu was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't show any hesitation at all, instead he only asked this question.Seeing Du Changqiu nod his head, he said repeatedly, "It's fine to pack the rice, my lord, don't be afraid, I just want to say that it's like boiling salt on the mountain, you can eat dry rice every day, and I'm sure everyone will come if they fight!"

This is a complete straight-hearted martial artist. Normal people will probably bargain after hearing this. Du Changqiu even planned to pay salt in advance as salary, but he didn't expect it to be useless. Guan Bingshu took everything and took it directly. This job.

It's no wonder that with absolute force in his hands, he still can't break into the power center of the county government.

Du Changqiu understood in an instant, but this straight-hearted and enthusiastic guy has his own advantages, Du Changqiu quickly made an appointment with him, took a short rest in the county government office, and had a hasty lunch with Fanxing and Qian Gongshu At that time, Guan Bingshu brought a long team of soldiers to gather at the gate of the county government office.

"Qian Gongshu, take 1000 people to camp on the mountain and let them participate in building the wall. Otherwise, if it snows in the cold winter, there will be no place to store the salt now." As soon as Guan Bingshu came, Du Changqiu arranged for him.

"Yes, my lord!" Qian Gongshu knew that this matter was very important, so he didn't talk nonsense, turned around and handed over to Guan Bingshu, and went all the way up the mountain.

These soldiers who went to the mountains to work were all rich, and all of them were beaming. They were elated when they heard the news, and they followed Qian Gongshu.

Those who stayed behind also looked at Du Changqiu in unison, their eyes were so bright that they were about to twinkle.

Du Changqiu didn't delay, turned on Fanxing's back, and whispered to Fanxing: "Fanxing, take me to the place where I found those limestones suitable for burning cement last time."

Fanxing found the direction in his mind in an instant, and ran towards the north of the city.

It happens to be the place where the Lishui River outside Huarong County passes through. There is silt on the riverside and limestone on the mountain, which is very suitable for making a simple version of the local method of burning cement.

This kind of cement is not the same as the Roman cement bought in Kansai, but the method is very simple. Limestone and clay are mixed together, dried in the sun, ground to fineness, and then dried again. After being broken, it can be packed and waited for use. .

Guan Bingshu had no idea why the county magistrate asked everyone to dig the mud in full swing, then dry it and roast it.The young adults in this county don't know, but everyone knows that the rice they eat at night is dry. During the day, the county magistrate bought two pieces of lard to make lard stew. I don't know how fragrant it is.

Everyone started working with such enthusiasm. This place is less than a stick of incense away from the city. It is on the hillside opposite the Chengbei River. Du Changqiu often sees men who love their families beat up their dishes. Eat, just eat dry rice.

"Why, the dishes made by Aunt Ma don't suit everyone's taste?" Du Changqiu was curious at first, he thought it was because the food was not good and everyone couldn't eat it.

But the problem is that he eats it quite delicious. The big pot of rice is a bit rough, but it is better than the nutrient solution anyway. Du Changqiu squatted by the construction site with a bowl and Guan Bingshu, and saw this scene while eating. Can't help but ask curiously.

"Hey, it's not that it's not delicious, it's really delicious." Guan Bingshu buried his head in his mouthful of food and didn't answer for a moment. Qiu Zundian from the barracks next to him said with a smile, "There is oil and salt. , everyone wants to take it home, and add some food to it at night, so the whole family can get some meat."

Du Changqiu was stunned for a moment, seeing these people smiling and wrapping the bowls with cloth towels, and carefully placing them on the windy side of the hillside to prevent the soil from blowing on them, he couldn't help but think of the servants in the manor in Wilt The scene of wrapping black bread and bringing it to your own children and family members.

Du Changqiu felt that the bowl was heavy, so he was silent for a while, and then said softly: "From now on, everyone will eat meat every day."

Guan Bingshu finally swallowed his meal, took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "My lord, everyone said that it is better than when Mr. Wang was around. Now everyone can eat meat occasionally, which is already very satisfying." .”

"It's not enough." Du Changqiu shook his head, looked at the soldiers eating, and said softly, "That's not enough."

On this day, Guan Bingshu and Qiu Zun didn't pay much attention to Mr. Xie's speech. The warriors were careless, and only thought that Mr. Xie was talking in his sleep because he was grieving for the spring and hurting the autumn.

After all, the big guys have food every day, so they don't know how good it is. Mr. Xie said that everyone can eat meat, that's really idiotic.

They did not expect that Master Xie, who was like a banished immortal, was not talking in his sleep at all. Under the gaze of his compassionate eyes like a god, Huarong County would slowly, one by one, within a very short period of time. Little by little, it was like the ice and snow had just melted and the spring breeze visited, gradually recovering from being dilapidated and dilapidated.

This trace of vitality, like the first trace of greenery dyed the dilapidated and desolate land, will expand little by little.From a gap, a small dot, slowly smudged and intertwined crazily, and finally, when the busy people in it suddenly look back, they will find that the sun and the moon have changed, and the world has been reborn.

At this time, all of them knew nothing about it. Holding the rough porcelain bowl, they were still excited to find meat the size of a little finger in this meal, and they were reluctant to eat this dish with a little meat oil. In the midst of exhaustion and exhaustion, taking this bowl of vegetables and adding a large pot of green vegetables into it and then stewing them is the greatest joy for the whole family.

They couldn't hear that a thin layer of ice formed in the river was quietly thawing, and the river was spreading silently. Huarong, who had been dry for countless years, had already welcomed his true pioneer.

And this ignorance is a wonderful ignorance, and there is nothing more joyful in the world than such ignorance.

Because they have been walking and running forward, and there are countless joys and hopes in front of them.

The people in Huarong even had the feeling later that no matter what the world has become, as long as they see that figure from behind, as long as they follow that thin, immortal-like figure, they will be invincible even with bare feet , can also walk through the hell of swords and fire, and get a new life.
