I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

In fact, Luo Shixing's so-called no problem means that there is a solution to any problem that arises during the drilling process, and there will be no need to stop work and wait for him to solve it.

It's just that Cheng Jingwei seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he would wait for the well to be dug before going back.

Even Cheng Jingwei looked at the size of the salt field and calculated the number of salt wells that could be drilled. At that time, people were a little uncomfortable.

If this is all done... I'm afraid that the little lynx will live here for more than ten years.

He reckoned that Luo Shixing would not be so unreasonable, so he couldn't help asking: "How long will it take? The conditions here are really bad, the food is not good, the environment is not good, and it will be the rainy season soon. You must not be used to it here." .”

Luo Shixing calculated and said, "The rainy season is still at least a month away, so it won't take that long."

Cheng Jingwei was at a loss: "Is it so fast?"

He just went to see it, and now he didn't even install the sky wheel, how could it be done within a month?

Luo Shixing said strangely: "Of course, the main thing now is to see which place is more suitable. When the actual digging is done, and the depth of the digging is about ten meters, basically there will be no problem in following the previous steps. Then I will go back Already."

Only then did Cheng Jingwei heave a sigh of relief, he was really worried that the little lynx would take root here and would not go back until the excavation was completed.

After relaxing, he was also in the mood to look at the current progress of the project.

In fact, there is no progress of the project at all. Many holes have been dug on the salt field. Cheng Jingwei asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Luo Shixing explained: "This is a selection of several places, first dig the soil to see which one is more suitable."

The so-called more appropriate is to preliminarily judge the water seepage problem. It is impossible to make the soil layer impervious to water in this place. We can only choose that the water seepage is not so severe, and then the stone circle is needed to solve the water seepage problem.

Therefore, the pothole in the soil layer is actually slightly larger than the bottom, and the diameter of the inner wall after the stone circle needs to be lowered is about the same as the diameter of the outer wall of the sleeve.

The overall shape of the stone circle is to dig a hole in the middle of a square stone. Of course, it would be inconvenient to dig with stones, so Luo Shixing directly asked someone to make a model, and then used lime mortar to make the stone circle—this time without glutinous rice. Mortar, because glutinous rice mortar is really expensive.

Anyway, there is no load-bearing requirement for salt wells, and it is possible to use glutinous rice mortar.

Because it is not sure how thick the soil layer is, the stone circles are made piece by piece, each piece is about one foot thick, so that when the stone circle is lowered, it is laid down layer by layer, just like laying bricks. Apply a layer of lime mortar on the next layer to better control the height.

This is why no salt wells have been dug now. It takes time to select a location and build a stone circle.

Cheng Jingwei's visit failed to take Luo Shixing away, so he could only leave uneasy, as he also wanted to stay.

However, when he expressed his desire to stay here with the little lynx, the little lynx said ruthlessly: "What's the use of you staying? I've finished all the tools I need, so I don't need you to stay here, you go back It's more useful, hurry up and go."

There is no one in charge in the family. Is it because you want to give up your own territory?In essence, he doesn't believe in the morals of politicians, which has nothing to do with family or not.

The difference between the aristocratic family and the bandits is that they look better and can pretend to be themselves, but to be honest, Luo Shixing would rather face the bandits than the bandits of the aristocratic family.

Cheng Jingwei somewhat understood his worry, so he had no choice but to say: "Then you come back early."

After Luo Shixing drove the people away, he continued to wait for the stone circle to be built. After the stone circle was built in the selected place and the water seepage problem was resolved, he began to set up the sky wheel block to dig the well.

The drill bits made by supervisor Cheng Jingwei are very heavy, at least two people are needed to lift the drill bit so heavy on the bamboo rope.

When Luo Shixing saw them put on the drill bit, he was worried: Will the drill bit fall off if it is so heavy?

Facts have proved that his worry is very justified. The load-bearing capacity of the bamboo cable is limited, and the impact force will be transmitted to the bamboo cable every time the external drill bit is lifted and lowered. Therefore, after three days of excavation, one of them broke. Bamboo rope.

Fortunately, Luo Shixing asked people to prepare a lot of bamboo ropes in advance, so that they could be replaced.

A part of the broken bamboo rope will remain on the drill bit, so when fishing, it can basically be lifted up by pulling the bamboo rope.

But this is only possible when the depth of the well is not very deep. After the depth of the well reaches more than 20 to [-] meters, the drill bit will fall again and there is no way to pick it up again.

Because the position of the bamboo rope is different every time it breaks, it is long and short.

At that time, Luo Shixing was about to go back when he saw that the well was ten meters deep, thinking that he would just continue to drill the well in this way.

As a result, I never expected that something went wrong before I left.

But fortunately, the problem happened before he left, otherwise, if there is another problem when he returns to the manor, it will take some time for the people here to go back to him to solve the problem, and the construction period will be delayed.

Luo Shixing went to the scene and took a look, and found that the drill bit had fallen to the bottom of the well. The problem now was that there was no tool to lift the drill bit out.

He couldn't help but slapped his head and said, "I actually forgot to do one shoulder."

The so-called partial shoulder is made of a partial shoulder rod, a steel stirrup at the end of the rod and a bamboo shell cover.

There is actually a steel rod on the top of the drill bit, and there is a circle of depressions on the steel rod to facilitate the binding of bamboo cables.

The steel stirrup at the end of the shoulder is used to catch this circle of depression and then lift it up.

The bamboo shell cover is used to cover and fix the rod at the top of the drill bit, so that the steel stirrup can be smoothly stuck in the depression.

This thing was not prepared before, and it is definitely not suitable to make a steel stirrup now, so I simply made a stone stirrup out of stones for temporary use. For the real steel stirrup or shoulder shoulder, someone sent a message to Cheng Jingwei, asking him to take it with him. People make one.

In the past, Luo Shixing drew pictures and handed them over to Cheng Jingwei to make them. Now that Luo Shixing is not in the manor, he was worried that Cheng Jingwei would not be able to understand the pictures he had drawn, or that he would send people back and forth to spread the word if he didn't understand something. Made one and asked Cheng Jingwei to follow that.

What he did temporarily here must not be very good, it can barely be used.

But after this thing was made, he found that there was still a problem to be solved, that is, when the drill bit fell down, it went down with the bamboo cable. Salvage it.

Generally, after falling, the bamboo rope will fall off, which also requires special tools.

Luo Shixing: ...

Through this, he can see that any tool that can be used on the sky wheel block has the risk of falling off, and what he needs to do is to come up with a whole set of salvage tools.

What are the five-strand beards used to salvage fan mud tubes or brine pumps, and what are the sling beards used to salvage bamboo ropes.

These are all needed, that is, Luo Shixing can only think of them when he needs to use them.

After thinking about it seriously, it seems that there is no need for other things besides these. As for the way of digging the well, as long as there is a way to solve these accidents, then it doesn't matter if he is here or not.

Luo Shixing left very simply, and before leaving, he promoted a man named Xi Zhengtian to be the steward of Yantian, and at the same time appointed Zhan Yi as the accountant.

Both of these people were brought back by Cheng Jingwei, and they were still young enough to read - no need to ask, they were exiled with their parents, and in the end they were the only ones left in the family.

In fact, apart from those big bosses, more than [-]% of the people Cheng Jingwei brought back were young people who were exiled with their parents, and then their parents were too old and in poor health to adapt to the environment here and passed away, so they were the only ones left behind.

These people have a very difficult life, and many of them live in a straw hut, and this is even the normal state of exiled officials here.

After they arrived at the manor, they didn't say how good they lived, at least they had a place where they could live, without worrying about wind and rain, and they could still have enough food.

So they were very grateful to Cheng Jingwei and Luo Shixing. Luo Shixing stayed here for two days and felt that these two people had a better view of the overall situation. As for their character, they didn't have time to think about it yet.

He believed that Cheng Jingwei should have already screened one layer, and these people now rely on them for food and clothing, as long as they are not stupid, they will not do things to enrich their own pockets.

Salt is indeed very precious, but he has to have channels to sell it.

Now the salt produced by Luo Shihang here is sold to Alezhen at a relatively low price, and then the Alezhen faction sells it collectively.

At the beginning, Ale's real price was not low, but Luo Shixing refused to take advantage of him. He had to let Ale really earn some money, otherwise it would be no different from being in debt.

Even if these people stole the salt, at most they would eat it for themselves, and they couldn't find a place to sell it.

If they eat at home... They are living in a public dormitory now, but anything extra will be discovered.

Now, of course, they live in the thatched huts on the salt pans, where the slaves who used to work in the salt pans lived.

The living environment was obviously not very good. Before leaving, Luo Shixing promised, "You have to be wronged for a while, and I will send someone to build a dormitory for you in two days."

Both Xi Zhengtian and Zhan Yi are full of energy, and they don't feel that the current conditions are difficult at all. Anyway, no matter how difficult it is, it is not as difficult as before, not to mention the current life makes them full of hope.

The people who live in the villa are their targets. Xiao Shanshi's young ladies are not comparable, and the bosses are not comparable, but Wei Ziyao is very suitable to be a role model.

Now almost everyone in the manor is literate, and everyone is not outstanding in this aspect. The most important thing is to have a skill. I haven't learned it before, so I need to work harder now.

Luo Shixing led the people back to the manor. Cheng Jingwei was very pleasantly surprised when he saw him: "Why did you come back suddenly? Are there any problems at Yantian?"

Luo Shixing waved his hand and said, "There are still problems, but they can be solved. I'll give you some pictures later, and you just need to make those two tools."

Cheng Jingwei followed him all the way back to the villa, and after Luo Shixing finished bathing and changing, he took out a dark red stone and asked, "What is this? Did you put it with me?"

After Luo Shixing saw it, he suddenly said: "Corundum, hey, I almost forgot about this thing, come here, find some tools to polish it, and see if you can polish it into a ruby."

Cheng Jingwei looked at the unremarkable dark red stone in his hand with a look of disbelief: "This thing? Ruby?"

Luo Shixing pushed him to the study room: "You'll know after you have a look at it."

Cheng Jingwei naturally didn't believe it, but he was almost responsive to Luo Shixing's request, so he put aside what he was doing and began to polish the stone.

When Li Youdao came to find him, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Luo Shixing holding a ruby ​​almost the size of a quail egg, his eyes shining.
