Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]
Chapter 81 Ma Jin Enters the White Deer Collar
Because other people respect this sheep stone house very much, and from the tone of these people's speech, it can be seen that the status of sheep stone house is the highest among these people.
Ma Jin naturally aimed at Yangshiwu. When he found out that Yangshiwu heard that he was a nobleman, his attitude towards him immediately became much flatter, and he immediately knew how to get along with this person.
Ma Jin grew up in the wealthy circle of Luma City, so he knows this kind of common people too well.
People like Yangshiwu, after eating and drinking without worrying about eating and drinking and gaining a little power, will long for status and status, and because they climbed out from the bottom, they have a natural awe and flattery towards the nobles, and they especially want to be with the nobles in their hearts. It is best if the nobles can become nobles themselves.
But in the Luma Principality, it is very, very difficult for ordinary people to become nobles unless they have made great contributions.A few years ago, there was a soldier who saved the life of the Duke of Luma, but he was only made a lord, that is, a noble reserve.
So what is the best way for this kind of person to hook up with nobles?
Naturally it is a marriage.
But it is almost impossible for common people to enter the aristocratic circle by marrying off their daughters.Unless the girl itself has noble blood, for example, her parents are brothers and sisters of a lord or a lord, the farthest cannot exceed three generations, and the great-grandson generation is basically not regarded as noble.And the family must be very rich, or be able to bring great help to the husband.
As for Yangshiwu, it was only a citizen of a small territory, and the family had no noble blood for eight generations. It would be a joke to cling to the nobles, and the daughter could only be a mistress.
Ma Jin looked down on Yangshiwu in his heart, let alone Yangshiwu's daughter, but he wanted to inquire about Bailuling's information, and wanted to know the source of the paper. It would be best if he could master the papermaking method, so he had to contact Yangshiwu. False and submissive.
Poor Yang Shiwu didn't know anything, when he felt Ma Jin's closeness to him, and vaguely revealed the idea of wanting to get married, Yang Shiwu became excited.
Yang Shiwu bragged about his daughter as having everything in heaven and earth. In order to raise his daughter's value, he also boasted that his daughter was valued by the wife of the previous lord. Only noble ladies can learn how to manage accounts.
Yang Shiwu didn't mention the lord's classroom and school, he didn't want Ma Jin to know that there are many local girls who can read and write like his daughter, and some are much better than her daughter.
Yangshiwu also talked about the fact that the lord Tang Bo once liked beautiful young women, saying that if the lord's hobbies were not unusual, his daughter would have married the lord and became the lord's wife.
Ma Jin didn't care about Yangshiwu's daughter at all, but asked about Tang Bo's affairs in every possible way.
Although Yang Shiwu wanted to marry his daughter to a nobleman, he never thought of betraying Tang Bo. After all, he lived comfortably in Bailuling.
Moreover, Tang Bo had warned them a long time ago, telling them not to tell outsiders about the Bailu collar, especially the opening of factories and workshops, and the large amount of ironware in the territory.If it is found that someone has leaked relevant matters without permission, the whole family will definitely sit together.
So Yang Shiwu answered some of Ma Jin's questions very vaguely, only saying that the lord is extremely wise, and since he became the lord, the life of the Bailu leader is much better than before.
Ma Jin asked about the paper again, and Yang Shiwu's answer was the same as Liu Feng's answer back to Lvma City, saying that the foreign businessman brought the paper, but he said a little more than Liu Feng that it was the foreign businessman and their lord Signed a long-term paper supply contract, and promised to sell only to their lords in Luma City.
Ma Jin believed it, but he still wanted to know more about Bailuling, and even wanted to go to Bailuling to have a look, because he was also interested in Bailuling's weaving and dyeing techniques.
Weaving and dyeing are also lucrative businesses, and they are no worse than new paper when they are well managed.
But Yang Shiwu denied it, saying that he didn't know anything about textiles.
In order to win over Yangshiwu, Ma Jin not only proposed to marry his daughter, but also drew a big cake for Yangshiwu, saying that he could take their family to Luma City and recommend Yangshiwu to the Duke of Luma.
Ma Jin seduces Yang Shiwu, saying that it is a great honor to see the Grand Duke of Luma, but if he can present some special and valuable things to the Grand Duke, then he is likely to get a noble status, or even a fiefdom.
Yang Shiwu was very moved by what Ma Jin said.
Ma Jin asked Yang Shiwu to think about it.
Yang Shiwu didn't know that what Ma Jin wanted was papermaking, weaving machines, and cloth dyeing methods. He wanted Duke Luma to see his own value, and he wanted to obtain the position of nobility without relying on his daughter. It is best to get a fief.
At that time, he will be the same powerful lord as the lord Tang Bo.
After much deliberation, Yang Shiwu felt that the most valuable thing about him was his ability in water conservancy surveying and planning and drawing.
In order to let Ma Jin see his own value, Yangshiwu took out some of the latest water conservancy project planning drawings of Bailuling and handed them over to Ma Jin.
When Yangshiwu took out the planning map, he didn't think he was stealing the property of the territory, nor did he think that he had betrayed the lord and Bailu leader. He thought he was the director of the planning department, and the completion of water conservancy projects in the future should always be seen by others. Yes, it's nothing but to let people look at the drawings in advance.
After Ma Jin got the blueprint, although he couldn't understand the blueprint, but under the explanation of Yangshiwu, he at least knew one thing, that is, the White Deer collar was actually connected with several surrounding territories, including Sanshu Including Hongshan Ling, Hongshan Ling, and Hongyu Ling, the four territories should be connected by waterways.
This waterway is also wide enough to carry cargo ships with a load of at least two thousand catties.
For this reason, the White Hart collar intends to take the lead in widening and deepening the water channels in their territory, and at the same time widen and deepen the waterways in the other three territories.
Ma Jin also caught two more words from Yangshiwu's proud and ostentatious words, one is cement and the other is cargo ship.
Ma Jin couldn't help but ask Yang Shiwu what cement is.
Yang Shiwu's complexion changed at that moment, and he hesitated to say that it was a kind of mastic found by the lord in the wild in the territory, which could be used as an adhesive.
Ma Jin thought of the brick houses and majestic city walls he saw in Sanshuling, and asked if cement was used in those buildings.
Yangshiwu didn't admit it, but didn't deny it either.
Ma Jin asked about the cargo ship again, but Yang Shiwu didn't dare to say more, just said it was a small boat.
Ma Jin didn't believe Yang Shiwu's words this time. How could a ship that can carry at least two thousand catties be a small boat?
But even Luma City doesn't know how to build such a big ship. Where did this remote Bailuling get the shipbuilding method, or is it a finished product bought from a foreign businessman?
Ma Jin thought of a possibility: he suspected that Tang Bo, the lord of Bailu, had colluded with big businessmen or nobles from other countries in order to expand his power.
Thinking of this possibility, Ma Jin was so excited that his body trembled.
Even if he can't get papermaking and dyeing methods, if he can find evidence that Tang Bo colluded with nobles from other countries, he will ask his family to help with the operation. Maybe he can snatch the White Deer collar as his own territory, and by the way The businessman also got into his hands.
At this time, he didn't think that Bailuling was a poor and small place.
Ma Jin expressed more and more importance to Yang Shiwu, but he was very clever to grasp a degree, so that Yang Shiwu could not see his flattery, but only saw the aristocrat's appreciation for the common people.
But Yang Shiwu followed suit. Seeing that Ma Jin valued him more and more, and made it clear that Duke Luma needed a talent like him, Yang Shiwu believed in Ma Jin more and more.
Yang Shiwu was not so stupid. After he revealed these things to Ma Jin and took out that part of the water conservancy plan, he made an agreement with Ma Jin that he must marry his daughter.
Ma Jin proposed to see his daughter, and if his daughter is really as good as he said, then the marriage will be settled.
In addition, Ma Jin also proposed to enter Bailuling to take a look.
Yang Shiwu said that if Ma Jin married his daughter and brought their family to see the Duke of Luma, and helped them settle in Luma City, he would find a way to take Ma Jin into Bailuling.
From Yangshiwu's point of view, their remote White Deer collar is so good, and Luma City as the capital is even better.What's more, Ma Jin also bragged to him a lot about the magnificence, bustle, prosperity and wealth of Luma City, which made Yang Shiwu dream of becoming a high-class person in the capital at night.
Ma Jin saw Yang Lan.
How can Yang Lan, a little girl who has never seen the world or experienced a scumbag, thinks she is smart but is extremely innocent, be able to play against a dude like Ma Jin?
It didn't take much effort for Ma Jin to find out more about Bailuling from Yanglan.
People from Bailuling, such as Yanglan, and those who came to work in Bailuling have been warned by their superiors that they cannot speak out about things like paper mills, cement factories, and ironware, but they are not prohibited from talking about weaving workshops and cloth dyeing workshops. and Yang Lan was working in the weaving workshop, so the little girl picked up the weaving workshop and kept talking.
After hearing this, Ma Jin was very moved, especially when Yang Lan mentioned to him intentionally or unintentionally that she knows new weaving methods. As long as she is given a new type of loom with a white deer collar, she can weave two meters wide and patterned fabrics. cloth.
Ma Jin immediately thought that he must get Yanglan back to Luma City, and it would be best to get a new textile machine.
That is a textile machine that can directly weave patterns, and the cloth width can reach two meters!Yanglan also said that the latest looms are extremely fast, more than five or six times faster than the old-fashioned looms they used at the beginning.
Get rich!This time the white deer collar came well!Ma Jin suppressed his excitement, coaxed Yang Lan more and more, and in order to win the trust of Yang Shiwu and his daughter, he took out the marriage contract.
After Yang Shiwu got his daughter's marriage contract—he didn't know how nobles marry wives and daughters. He only saw that the marriage contract was written on parchment paper, and it was stamped with the noble seal. I thought it was a real nobleman's marriage contract.
So, a few days later, Yangshiwu bought a carriage ticket to Bailuling with the help of a Sanshu leader, and brought Ma Jin, who was wearing a cloak, into Bailuling.
Yang Shiwu asked Ma Jin to sit in the car not to show his face or talk casually.
Near noon, there were not many people in the car, and only six people sat in the big car that could seat 20 people.
Ma Jin was sitting on the carriage, and was jolted badly at first, but the vehicle became very stable after driving for a short time, and the people in the carriage didn't have to be bumped like jumping beans.
Ma Jin was curious for a moment, so he looked out the car window.
what is that? !
Ma Jin thought he was dazzled.
He actually saw a road that was as smooth as a huge gray stone.
But how could there be such a huge stone in the world?
Ma Jin stared at the road in disbelief, and it took a long time before he saw a gap.
Ma Jin didn't know that this gap was used for the expansion and contraction of the concrete pavement, and he was still wondering what kind of stone it was, and what kind of force was used to transport such a large and long stone here in its entirety.
Ma Jin couldn't help it, so he asked Yang Shiwu in a low voice.
At this time, Yangshiwu no longer regarded Ma Jin as an outsider, and whispered to Ma Jin with unconcealed pride: "This is the cement I mentioned to you. This thing is very useful. It can not only bond bricks and tiles , build aqueducts, pave roads, and build city walls. In short, there are many uses. Our lord will not let us talk about the cement, if it weren't for you..."
Ma Jin gave Yang Shiwu a "he understands" look.
"How did this cement come out?" Ma Jin felt that he was beyond shocked. There were really too many things that surprised him in this little white deer collar.
Yang Shiwu shook his head: "I don't know the details, I'm not responsible for this, but it should be related to lime."
"What is lime?"
"Lime is the ash from the burning of stones."
"What? Burn the stone to ashes? And then make the ashes into stone-like cement?" Ma Jin thought it was unnecessary to take off his pants and fart.
Yang Shiwu nodded, and said: "Lime is very effective. Our lord also uses lime to deworm the fields, and the effect is very good."
Ma Jin didn't care about farming, that was what mudlegs and serfs should worry about.
Following this straight concrete avenue, Ma Jin easily entered Bailuling.
On the way, he also saw a castle with a strange shape.
Sheep Stone House told him that that was where the two lords lived and worked.
Ma Jin stared at the castle without blinking. He was busy inquiring about the White Deer leader during this time, and almost forgot the little lord Gu Ding.
Don't worry, when he finds out about Bailuling, he will come to meet this little lord.
The white deer got it.
As soon as Ma Jin got out of the car, he saw a very clean and tidy town.
Even the houses in the small town are all dusty, and the shape is very simple, they are all square, only the roof is sloped, and they are very strong at first glance.
"Is this White Deer Collar?" Ma Jin was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Yes." Yangshiwu said proudly: "This is not an industrial area, but a residential area. Most of us Bailu collars live here. The lord built a new house for us here, and each house is made of bricks and tiles. It is a small two-story building with a courtyard at the front and back. The bricks are also made of cement, called cement bricks. However, we need to pay for this house, but instead of paying in one lump sum, a part of it will be deducted from our salary every month. .”
Yang Shiwu flattered and said: "Of course, this house can't be compared with Luma City. The house you live in is definitely much better than ours. Our place is a small house in the countryside."
Ma Jin: "..."
Ma Jin can't say it, he can't tell Yang Shiwu that the house I live in, a noble family from Luma City, is not better than yours except that it occupies a little larger area than yours.
Moreover, this small town is planned to have sewers, street lights, and some other facilities that he can't figure out.
But as long as the road surface is clean and level, Luma City can't compare.
Although the main road surface of Lvma City is also very good, the pavement is paved with stone, which is good-looking, but it is really not as smooth as this cement.
In particular, there is no dirt on the roads in this small town, and Luma City... don't mention it.
The most important thing is that Ma Jin didn't see mud houses and thatched houses. All he saw seemed to be cement brick houses. However, apart from the houses in the aristocratic area of the inner city, Luma City is more beautiful, and there are a large number of poor people in the outer city. district.
This is the site of a small country lord, why can his subjects live in such a nice house?
Maybe the houses here can only be lived in by directors like Yangshiwu?Ordinary civilians actually live in other places?Ma Jin couldn't help thinking wildly.
Yang Shiwu is eager to take Majin to his house, but Majin can't wait to check out the factory area.
Majin was also told by Yanglan about the factory area in Bailuling.
Yangshiwu had no choice but to take Majin to the water canal.
Ma Jin saw several small boats by the canal.
Yang Shiwu told him that the fastest way to reach the factory area is to use a small boat to flow down the canal.
At this time, although Yang Shiwu felt that he should not bring outsiders into the White Deer Collar - after all, the lord did not allow it.But for so many years, the leader of Sanshu, the leader of Hongyu, and even the leader of Hongshan came to Bailu collar to find work, and he didn't see the lord not letting them in.
Since those who are looking for work can enter the White Deer Collar, it's okay for him to bring his son-in-law in, right?
Yes, this is my son-in-law, not an outsider.And this is a nobleman, even a big nobleman like the Ma family.If the lord knew that he had made friends with such a big nobleman and married his daughter, maybe the lord would look up to him a second time, and he would pay more attention to him in the future, right?
If the lord is angry, at worst he will leave Bailuling and take his daughter and wife to Luma City.
With Yangshiwu thinking like this, he is not afraid that someone will see Ma Jin.
When he arrived at the port where he took the boat, someone asked him who Ma Jin was, and he said he was from his own family.
With Yangshiwu's guarantee, the people at the port let Majin board the boat without asking any further questions.
Ma Jin boarded the boat.When he saw the gray surface exposed at the edge of the canal and the abnormally flat embankment road, he was even more afraid to look down on cement, and he no longer thought that Bailuling's work on this thing was just taking off his pants and farting. At least the cement can reshape the shape. It is much more convenient and easier to use than mining stone.
When the boat left the port, someone immediately galloped on horseback.
Gu Ding and Tang Bo are both in the town now, when Ma Jin got off the car, they were watching from the window.
"How do you deal with this person?" Gu Ding asked.
Tang Bo said lightly and delicately: "Since you're here, let's stay."
Gu Ding was puzzled: "Since you want to kill him, why do you have to wait so long?"
Tang Bo let out a sigh: "There is someone behind him, wait a minute, how do you catch the person behind him?"
"This guy is not the only one who came to investigate him?"
"Well, Grand Duke Luma should have sent other people. This person and his butler are just targets to attract us on the surface."
"Did it come out?"
"When this Young Master Ma returns to Sanshuling, the people in the dark will definitely not be able to resist asking what Ma Jindu has found." Tang Bo suddenly raised his voice and called the housekeeper.
Butler Buff appeared immediately.
"Uncle Fu, go to the factory area and call up the management of all factories and workshops, so that they can see Yangshiwu leading outsiders into the factory area with their own eyes, but don't alarm that young master Ma just yet."
"Yes." The butler added, "The Yang family has been brought under control."
"En." Tang Bo stood up and said to Gu Ding, "Let's go, it's time to put a curse on everyone."
Ma Jin naturally aimed at Yangshiwu. When he found out that Yangshiwu heard that he was a nobleman, his attitude towards him immediately became much flatter, and he immediately knew how to get along with this person.
Ma Jin grew up in the wealthy circle of Luma City, so he knows this kind of common people too well.

"Is this White Deer Collar?" Ma Jin was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Yes." Yangshiwu said proudly: "This is not an industrial area, but a residential area. Most of us Bailu collars live here. The lord built a new house for us here, and each house is made of bricks and tiles. It is a small two-story building with a courtyard at the front and back. The bricks are also made of cement, called cement bricks. However, we need to pay for this house, but instead of paying in one lump sum, a part of it will be deducted from our salary every month. .”
Yang Shiwu flattered and said: "Of course, this house can't be compared with Luma City. The house you live in is definitely much better than ours. Our place is a small house in the countryside."
Ma Jin: "..."
Ma Jin can't say it, he can't tell Yang Shiwu that the house I live in, a noble family from Luma City, is not better than yours except that it occupies a little larger area than yours.
Moreover, this small town is planned to have sewers, street lights, and some other facilities that he can't figure out.
But as long as the road surface is clean and level, Luma City can't compare.
Although the main road surface of Lvma City is also very good, the pavement is paved with stone, which is good-looking, but it is really not as smooth as this cement.
In particular, there is no dirt on the roads in this small town, and Luma City... don't mention it.
The most important thing is that Ma Jin didn't see mud houses and thatched houses. All he saw seemed to be cement brick houses. However, apart from the houses in the aristocratic area of the inner city, Luma City is more beautiful, and there are a large number of poor people in the outer city. district.
This is the site of a small country lord, why can his subjects live in such a nice house?
Maybe the houses here can only be lived in by directors like Yangshiwu?Ordinary civilians actually live in other places?Ma Jin couldn't help thinking wildly.
Yang Shiwu is eager to take Majin to his house, but Majin can't wait to check out the factory area.
Majin was also told by Yanglan about the factory area in Bailuling.
Yangshiwu had no choice but to take Majin to the water canal.
Ma Jin saw several small boats by the canal.
Yang Shiwu told him that the fastest way to reach the factory area is to use a small boat to flow down the canal.
At this time, although Yang Shiwu felt that he should not bring outsiders into the White Deer Collar - after all, the lord did not allow it.But for so many years, the leader of Sanshu, the leader of Hongyu, and even the leader of Hongshan came to Bailu collar to find work, and he didn't see the lord not letting them in.
Since those who are looking for work can enter the White Deer Collar, it's okay for him to bring his son-in-law in, right?
Yes, this is my son-in-law, not an outsider.And this is a nobleman, even a big nobleman like the Ma family.If the lord knew that he had made friends with such a big nobleman and married his daughter, maybe the lord would look up to him a second time, and he would pay more attention to him in the future, right?
If the lord is angry, at worst he will leave Bailuling and take his daughter and wife to Luma City.
With Yangshiwu thinking like this, he is not afraid that someone will see Ma Jin.
When he arrived at the port where he took the boat, someone asked him who Ma Jin was, and he said he was from his own family.
With Yangshiwu's guarantee, the people at the port let Majin board the boat without asking any further questions.
Ma Jin boarded the boat.When he saw the gray surface exposed at the edge of the canal and the abnormally flat embankment road, he was even more afraid to look down on cement, and he no longer thought that Bailuling's work on this thing was just taking off his pants and farting. At least the cement can reshape the shape. It is much more convenient and easier to use than mining stone.
When the boat left the port, someone immediately galloped on horseback.
Gu Ding and Tang Bo are both in the town now, when Ma Jin got off the car, they were watching from the window.
"How do you deal with this person?" Gu Ding asked.
Tang Bo said lightly and delicately: "Since you're here, let's stay."
Gu Ding was puzzled: "Since you want to kill him, why do you have to wait so long?"
Tang Bo let out a sigh: "There is someone behind him, wait a minute, how do you catch the person behind him?"
"This guy is not the only one who came to investigate him?"
"Well, Grand Duke Luma should have sent other people. This person and his butler are just targets to attract us on the surface."
"Did it come out?"
"When this Young Master Ma returns to Sanshuling, the people in the dark will definitely not be able to resist asking what Ma Jindu has found." Tang Bo suddenly raised his voice and called the housekeeper.
Butler Buff appeared immediately.
"Uncle Fu, go to the factory area and call up the management of all factories and workshops, so that they can see Yangshiwu leading outsiders into the factory area with their own eyes, but don't alarm that young master Ma just yet."
"Yes." The butler added, "The Yang family has been brought under control."
"En." Tang Bo stood up and said to Gu Ding, "Let's go, it's time to put a curse on everyone."
