Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

"The matter of frying the stove..."

"This issue……"

Chen Banxian said to Lin Yuan with difficulty: "It will take some time."

They can't do anything if the stove doesn't blow up.

Lin Yuan was in a good mood after getting the fake jade, which could be easily confused with the real one, and said, "There is no rush for this, but the gunpowder prescription can't be slack, you have to work harder."

Chen Banxian: "Naturally, we still have to rely on you, our boss."

Lin Yuan waved his hands: "There's no need to say flattery, it's always in your interest to do your job well."

The reward for making jade has already been given to them.

Everyone rewarded a bamboo rat, and they instructed the kitchen how to do it.

Now that there is a shortage of meat, this reward is very attractive.

Jiang Guang left two days later. He brought a cartful of medicinal materials with him, and only took the huge piece of fake jade with him. Chen Bosong and the others naturally followed Jiang Guang. After all, the job they took over , related to the fact that there is only half a month's grain in the village.

Now Chen Bosong and the rest of the gangsters and bandit dens had already been taken away by them.

If you want to fill your stomach, you can only find a way to pick up the work.

"It's okay once in a while, so I'd better come and have a look." Lin Yuan said to Chen Bosong.

Chen Bosong nodded, and he turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Master, if you need anything, please call me, this is where I am."

As he spoke, he handed over a map drawn on linen, and Chen Bosong pointed to a place and said, "This is where I am."

Lin Yuan solemnly put away the map. It seems that under Chen Bosong, there are quite a few capable people. It is impossible for ordinary people to draw such a map.

"Master, take care." Chen Bosong clasped his fists.

Lin Yuan smiled at him: "You too, be careful all the way."

The nanny watched from not far away, covering her mouth with her hand, fearing that she would cry out in the next second.

"The child will always leave when he grows up." Yang said softly beside him.

The nanny wiped away her tears: "I just didn't expect him to grow up so fast."

Chen Bosong's arrival seemed to be just an insignificant episode, but it did make Lin Yuan feel much better.

After the beginning of spring, there were more and more things in Zhuangzi. Although the city wall was built, the land reclamation was still going on, and they almost opened up all the wasteland around them.

Liang Er wiped the sweat from his forehead, holding a hoe in his hand, with a smile on his face, he said to the third son next to him, "I don't know what to eat today."

The third son took a deep breath: "I don't know, but there must be some steamed buns."

Liang Er said: "I don't know who is evaluating today."

Zhuangzi now judges an excellent laborer every day. This person's food will be much better than others. He can eat a bowl of white rice and a pot of stewed vegetables. The stewed dishes not only contain vegetables, but also meat, which is full of oil and water. It is not limited to eat in the cafeteria, even if it is taken away.

So now the enthusiasm for land reclamation is very high, and everyone hopes that the person who is judged as excellent is themselves.

Of course, Liang Er worked very hard, but he looked at his progress and found that there were many people who were faster than him, and now he was a little slack.

"It's not us anyway." The third son looked enviously, "If only I had that much strength, I would definitely be able to eat meat every day."

"In the past few days, all the ones who have been rated as excellent are Tietou." Liang Er looked at Tietou who was plowing the land.

Tietou is a big fool, he doesn't talk to people very much, and always works alone. He has a relative in the Zhuangzi, who is his only sister. He takes all the rewards he got these days back to the dormitory. Give it to my sister.

His sister was born with poor health, so he always did more work alone, lest his sister be rejected.

"Tie Tou! You should relax once in a while, give us a chance!" Liang Er shouted at Tie Tou.

Tietou stopped, looked around, wanted to know who was calling him, and only after seeing Liang Er's did he say in a muffled voice, "No."

Liang Er angrily said to the third son, "This man is really stubborn. He has been eating special meals for so many days."

The third son comforted: "Don't be angry, my sister is not in good health."

Liang Er: "You bully me because I don't have a girl?"

The third son whispered: "You may not be so desperate if you have a sister."

That night, Tie Tou was the same as the previous few days, carrying white rice and stewed vegetables cup and left, finally showing a little invisible smile on his honest and honest face.

"Brother." Tietou's girl doesn't have a big name, only the nickname Xiaohua, which is very rural. In the village, girls from nine out of ten families are called Xiaohua.

Tie Tou put the stewed vegetables and rice on the table, and then with a clumsy body, he hugged his sister to the table gently and considerately: "Eat quickly."

Xiaohua ate it for several days, but now she is still very greedy when she sees these stewed dishes, the most craving is the bowl of white rice, she swallowed, and whispered: "Brother, have you eaten?"

Tietou: "I've eaten it, this is what my brother brought back for you after eating."

Xiao Hua smiled at Tie Tou, she didn't doubt what Tie Tou said, and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

"Brother, eat a piece of meat." Xiao Hua pinched the meat to Tietou's mouth, and Tietou opened his mouth to take a bite.

The long-lost smell of meat invaded his taste buds, Tie Tou took a deep breath, and rubbed Xiao Hua's head: "Take care of your body, my brother tells you to eat meat every day."

Xiaohua nodded vigorously.

She likes the life now, she doesn't have to worry about where she will sleep tomorrow, and she doesn't have to worry about being hungry. She still remembers that when they first fled, the elder brother obviously only sold himself, so he would definitely find the master's house, just because he brought her a sick child with him. , so no one has been willing to sell their siblings.

It was only when they met the owner that they had a place to live.

"The more I think about it, the more angry I get." Liang Er returned to the dormitory and was still complaining to the third son, "He has rated so many days in a row, so what if he doesn't comment for a few days, if I can't beat him, I will Definitely teach him a lesson!"

The third son turned over and didn't really want to talk to Liang Er. Although it was difficult for them to judge the best, they could still eat meat every seven days.

Of course, there is never too much meat, but when many people don't even have enough to eat, it's not easy for them not to go hungry.

The third son reminded: "We can't fight with weapons in Zhuangzi. If we are found out, we will be locked in a dungeon."

The so-called dungeon is actually a remodeled cellar, and it is not abused, but the dungeon has no light, and it is a veritable small dark room. After being locked in, there is no sound or light.

No one has gone in so far.

But no one in Zhuangzi wanted to go in and try.

Liang Er was immediately discouraged, and whispered: "I don't have to teach him a lesson, just look, I will definitely surpass him tomorrow."

The third son couldn't believe it: "I'll go to bed first."

The roommates also laughed and said, "Liang Er, then you will have to work hard tomorrow. We dare not argue with Tie Tou's desperate attitude."

Liang Er fell asleep confidently, preparing to let Tie Dan know how good he is tomorrow.

however--

"The iron head is simply not human!" Liang Er viciously threw the hoe into the ground.

The people next to him laughed at him: "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to give him a good look? You gave up so soon?"

Liang Er also felt that it was embarrassing to give up, so he had to bite the bullet and go on.

At the end of the night, Liang Er glanced at the open ground and knew that he would definitely be laughed at by his companions today.

When announcing the selection candidates, Liang Er was absent-mindedly thinking about whether he should quietly get some crotons in Tietou's meal tonight.

"Today's outstanding worker is: Tietou, Liang Er." Jiang Gui explained after announcing the candidate, "Tietou works hard and has won the excellent job for several days. After we think about it, it is now No.2. You can also enjoy the same treatment as No.1.”

The people below all looked happy, after all, it was impossible to defeat Iron Head, and they were about to give up and slack off.

But the second is still up for grabs.

When the crowd dispersed, Liang Er was still standing there thinking.

The third son urged: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Aren't you going to the cafeteria?"

Liang Er went to the third son and asked, "Do you know where I can get croton?"

The third son: "Why do you want crotons? If you eat them, you will pull them. No matter how much you eat, it's useless. Maybe you will die."

There are many examples of eating crotons and eating dead people.

Liang Er whispered, "I'm going to get some for Tietou."

The third son widened his eyes: "Are you crazy?!"

Liang Er: "In this way, I can take the first place and eat white rice and stewed vegetables. I will share half of it with you."

The third son looked complicated: "You can eat now."

Liang Er: "Are you kidding? You don't mean to tell me to grab the iron head? I can't beat him."

The third son sighed: "I mean, you can go to the kitchen openly and ask for white rice and stew."

Liang Er was shocked: "Why?!"

The third son looked at Liang Er as if he really didn't know, and he became very playful: "The boss said, you can fight whatever you want to eat tonight. Didn't you hear what Guanshi Jiang said just now?"

Liang Er was suspicious: "I really didn't listen carefully..."

He was just thinking about how to defeat Iron Head.

Third son: "I'll take you there."

The third son took Liang Er to the cafeteria. Now the cafeteria is full of people, chatting and eating dinner. Because it is still cold in early spring, charcoal braziers are placed in the four corners of the room, and there are many people. You can feel a burst of heat when you go in, very warm.

The women cooking were sitting behind the stage, chatting while cooking.

"This is my brother, Liang Er, he wants white rice and stewed vegetables." The third son said to the woman who was taking rice.

The woman received the notification before, and there are two rewards today, so the stewed vegetables and rice have been prepared long ago and kept warm, and when she saw someone coming to pick them up, she handed them over naturally.

"Remember to take the bowl and cup back after eating, or eat in the cafeteria." The woman reminded.

And Liang Er, who was holding the wooden dinner plate, was still a little dazed, not knowing what happened.

He looked around and found that everyone ate ordinary multigrain steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables. No one had white rice or meat.

Liang Er looked at the third son vigilantly: "My boss definitely didn't say anything about eating casually, don't lie to me."

The third son laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, why are you so stupid hahahahaha, you should really see your expression just now."

Liang Er looked at the third son unkindly, but he was reluctant to put down the food in his hand.

The third son laughed enough and said: "Guan Jiang said that because the iron head has always been the first, so the second can also get the reward in the future. You are the second today, so you can also get the reward."

Liang Er stood in place, dazed for a while before reacting.

He took the dinner plate and found an empty seat and sat down, looking at the whole bowl of white rice and stewed vegetables, swallowing while reaching for chopsticks.

The third son was also very greedy, so he took his share of miscellaneous grains, steamed buns and vegetables and sat opposite Liang Er: "Can you give me a piece of meat?"

Liang Er's chopsticks stirred in the stew, and he could see a lot of meat.

So Liang Er said generously, "Eat."

The third son was not too polite, and grabbed the biggest piece of meat he saw with his hands.

Lin Yuan was observing Chen Banxian's research office at this time - anyway, Lin Yuan didn't want to call this room an alchemy room.

Chen Banxian said nervously beside Lin Yuan: "Actually, I also fried the stove once, but I made it according to the recipe before frying the stove, but I didn't fry it at all."

At this time, there are no precise measurement tools, and every match depends on the feel, and there are many uncertain factors, which Lin Yuan can understand.

"Is there enough stuff?" Lin Yuan asked.

Chen Banxian: "Enough is enough, we don't use much each time, but it's better to prepare early."

Still have to send someone to buy it.

I don't know that there are no towns around where you can buy it.

Lin Yuan could only call Zhu Yuanzhang, tell him to go out with Brother Dao, and lead a team one by one, and ask Chen Banxian to tell them what they need.

"We're all gone..." Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little apprehensive, "There aren't many people in Zhuangzi."

After all, what they took away was labor.

Lin Yuan said: "Now that the city wall has been built, there are not many people left behind, but they add up to a lot. There is also food in the village. Even if you are in danger, it is enough to support you. So if you go out this time, if you are ten If I haven't bought what I need, I have to rush back."

Communication and transportation are inconvenient now, so we can only make budgets and appointments.

If it takes ten days, even if there are really bandits coming, they can hold on.

As long as it's not an official army.

If so, Lin Yuan could only admit that he was unlucky. After all, once the official army arrived, even if Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao were also in the village, it would be useless.

After Lin Yuan said so, Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao could only leave with others.

They have to pretend to be ordinary people, and they can't buy too much each time. They have to buy in batches to avoid being targeted.

It's been ten years.

Lin Yuan watched their leaving backs and sighed leisurely.

There is really not much time left for him.

If by the end of this year, the number of people in Zhuangzi can't exceed a thousand, he really has no choice but to take people to join the Red Scarf Army.

Recruitment is imminent.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, but he didn't dare to let it in without knowing the details.

Even Chen Bosong, whose relationship with the original owner was so close, Lin Yuan didn't completely trust him.

Ahh... it's going crazy.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Erliang who was cleaning up the house, staring in a daze.

Erliang felt a line of sight behind him, which made his whole body go numb. Turning his head, he found that his young master was staring at him intently, and asked uncomfortably, "Master? Why are you looking at me? What, what?" gone?"

Lin Yuan sighed.

Erliang became even more nervous: "Did something happen? Young master, don't keep talking, it's scary."

Lin Yuan: "Tell me, if I think less, will it be easier?"

Erliang knew that his young master was ill, picked up a rag and continued to wipe the dust, and said while wiping: "Young master, you have a big business now, so it's easy for you to think less, but if something happens, it's not easy for you. "

Lin Yuan continued to sigh: "What you said makes sense."

Erliang: "Master, if you think about this, you might as well think about what to eat tomorrow."

Lin Yuan waved his hand: "Anyway, it's the same every day these days, so don't even think about it."

Erliang: "Master, why don't you think about the major events in your life?"

Lin Yuan didn't realize it for a moment: "What's the big deal? The big deal in life?"

Erliang sighed: "You are at this age, if it was before, I should have seen your son."

Lin Yuan: "..."

Erliang said in a rambling manner: "The master has been talking about this recently. He said that it's a pity that this place is too remote to find a girl of the right family. Why don't we arrange two roommates for you first."

Lin Yuan's face turned red instantly, he turned his head and said, "This..."

Erliang winked and said, "Master, you are a man."

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed Erliang's head away: "Speak as you speak, don't get so close."

"Forget it." Lin Yuan rejected the proposal after careful consideration.

Although it is a Tongfang, in the eyes of Lin Yuan, who has received modern education, he is actually no different from a wife, taking care of housework and raising children for himself.

Although she is not legally a wife, Lin Yuan cannot pass this hurdle.

Besides, what should he do when he really gets married and finds a wife?

Ask several women to live under one roof?

He felt that he probably didn't have the ability of Li Longaotian, and he would be surrounded by enemies at that time, if there was another battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he could say Gu Bai earlier.

Erliang couldn't believe it: "Young master, you've got to decide? You're seventeen now?"

Lin Yuan became angry with embarrassment: "Two Liang, you want you to talk to my father yourself, anyway, I can't do it, if you ask me again, I will punish you to clean the Gong bucket."

Erliang closed his mouth, stretched out his hand, and made a movement of pinching his mouth tightly.

"Speaking of Gongtong..." Lin Yuan's train of thought was taken astray, "I think Zhuangzi really needs a toilet, and he can accumulate fertilizer."

Although the people in Zhuangzi still save their own fertilizers, most of them actually go to the wild fields and don't save much.

Erliang heard Lin Yuan mention fat, his whole expression was indescribable.

He didn't even know who told the young master about Fei.

Hearing the young master mention the accumulation of manure in a serious manner, his three views were shocked.

In Er Liang's eyes, his young master shouldn't know these things.

Lin Yuan: "What expression do you have?"

Erliang sniffed: "Master, Erliang didn't take good care of you!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

After listening to Erliang's explanation, Lin Yuan was deeply impressed by Erliang's brain circuit.

However, we cannot let go of repairing the toilet.

Lin Yuan immediately summoned people to start digging the toilet.

The toilets built are also simple. It is the modern farmhouse toilets of the 70s and [-]s. A deep pit is dug, and two thick wooden boards are built on it. If you are afraid of falling, you can use bricks. dig.

As soon as Lin Yuan gave the order, the people in Zhuangzi started working in full swing.

After all, there is meat to eat if you do a good job.

Although - everyone thinks that digging toilets is superfluous.

But it's not called a toilet, it's called Gongsuo now.

"The boss is worthy of being the boss, and he can pull out tricks even if he shits."

"That's right, I used to think that it would be nice for the landlord to have a gong barrel, but I didn't expect to build a special house for the gong, and dig such a deep hole."

"There is still a bucket outside, and you have to wash your hands after going out."

"The boss also asked someone to find a prescription for toilet paper and make toilet paper to wipe your butt."

"Hey, it really is my boss, the ass is more expensive than ordinary people, like us, it's good to wipe it with a leaf, isn't it?"

"I heard that the old men are all wiped with silk and satin."

"...Wiping the buttocks of those old men is worth more than wiping our buttocks for a lifetime."

Everyone reached a consensus, thinking that the butts of the old men are all valuable butts.

The speed of repairing the toilets was very fast. Two toilets were built in two or three days, one for men and one for women. Lin Yuan also drew a sign outside, because everyone was illiterate, so that they would not go to the wrong toilet. A hoe was drawn in the men's room, and a flower was drawn in the women's room.

This will make it clear.

The main thing is to draw skirts and trousers—at this age, men also wear skirts.

Although strictly speaking, it cannot be called a skirt.

Naturally, Lin Yuan didn't know that his butt was very valuable. He only knew that it would be much more convenient to have a toilet. At least he didn't have to worry about walking in the Zhuangzi. If he stepped into a pit, the "gold" would be buried in the pit.

Nowadays, many people only go to the toilet if they have to be supervised, and many people are too lazy to take a few steps at night.

Later, Lin Yuan had no choice but to come up with a way to report each other.

Reporting that the other party did not show respect at Gong's office, after verification, the informant can be rewarded with a piece of bacon, and the accused will have to skip a meal the next day.

Punishment measures and incentive measures come out.

Reports are made every day.

It was a busy few days at the beginning, and then some people suffered a lot, and some people went to Gongsuo honestly after they had a sweet taste.

Now that the rectification has started, Lin Yuan decided to rectify everything that can be rectified in one go.

For example, you can't drink unboiled water, and you can go to the cafeteria to get water every day.

Don't throw things casually, gather together every day and bury them in a place a little far away.

Fortunately, with Gongsuo's experience, the following things were carried out very quickly, and the people in Zhuangzi didn't have any opinions or adverse reactions.

While Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, he gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

After having no other thoughts, Lin Yuan began to think about how to recruit soldiers every day.

Or... just go and rob a few bandit villages?

Anyway, I have gained some experience, and the people who have gained it have also figured out how to train them.

Or go to the poor who have nowhere to go?

It's better to discuss it after Zhu Yuanzhang and Brother Dao come back.
