Dress to be a celebrity

Reinforced concrete beams and columns, prefabricated slabs, concrete hollow bricks... A bag of cement is mixed with gravel from Daihai outside the city, poured into a nailed wooden frame, and cast into shape.These are all bonded with cement, no need to build a kiln for firing, and the weather in the northwest is extremely dry, so the cement can be used to build houses within a few days after it dries.

Because it was to build houses for these herdsmen, Liu Chushi, an outstanding graduate of the Hanzhong School of Economics, unceremoniously instructed the herdsmen to lay foundations, dig drainage ditches, transport sand and gravel, and concrete slurry...

Rows of large and light hollow concrete bricks are built into the walls, and the roof is covered with a prefabricated slab roof, covered with waterproof linoleum, and finally leveled with cement, forming rows of neat and fresh two-story buildings.

These buildings are all built according to the school buildings in Hanzhong Economic Park, and actually borrowed the style of office buildings learned from modern times by Song Zhifu.There are many suites on each floor, and the suites are divided. Several families can live on one floor, and there is no such thing as a single house.Each row of houses is separated by small paths and flowers and trees without affecting the lighting. The back of the house is separated by a wooden fence to create a small courtyard, giving each family a place to grow vegetables.

The roof of the building is single-sloped, without tiles, and only one corner is paved with drainage ditches and drainage pipes for drainage.

The rooms in the building are equipped with kitchens and bathrooms, and ceramic sewer pipes are buried in the walls, which are very clean.However, the local area is not surrounded by water like in Hanzhong, and it is not convenient to use water tanks to fill the water, so we only built a culvert to bring water from the distant river into the community, and built a covered pool in the center of the community, so that the herdsmen can get water every day.

Within a few days, a garden community that could accommodate hundreds of herdsmen rose up on a piece of wasteland——

Although Liangcheng is a military town, Yu Ding, a military household, lives here, and it looks like a town.Residents in the town who live in brick and adobe houses are envious of these small buildings. Those herdsmen who have always only lived in tents and lived outside the city with the chiefs are even more excited. .

They didn't even have a brick or a tile in the past, but now they have such a tall and spacious gray stone brick building!

Even the princes and nobles who lived in the good brick houses in the town couldn't help sending people to see the residences of the herdsmen outside.Those who watched went saw neat little buildings with gray roofs painted with white plaster. The doors and windows were still to be installed after the glass was fired, but the windows could already be seen to be clean after installation.

It looks tidy from the outside, but when you enter the house, you know that the house is really "small but complete with all five internal organs".There are many small rooms separated by thin cement boards in each room, and there are simple tables and chairs in them... There is also a "bathroom" that they have never heard of. Concrete pools for people to use the toilet and bathe.

The stove and the flue are built. After living in it, cow dung can be burned in winter, and coal can also be burned for heating. The flue gas will heat the whole house from the flue.The hollow bricks used to build a house are also better than tents for insulation. Because several houses are connected together, there are fewer places to bear the wind, and the heat from the neighbors can still warm your own house, so you must live comfortably in winter.

Such a good house, let alone the herdsmen rejoice, the servants who have seen it envy, even those rich and powerful families want to live in it.

But the houses are all the same, and they are from rich families, so they don't want to live in the same houses as ordinary herdsmen, and they dislike this house because it doesn't show their identity.So many people sent slaves to find Chushi Liu, offering gold, jewels and shells, and asking him to lead someone to renovate their houses to make them more beautiful than those of these herdsmen.

Xueshi Liu refused to accept money, nor did he accept private work.

He always remembered the mission Mr. Song gave when he came here—one is the little fat sheep, the other is to breed horses, and the third is to develop the wool processing industry on the grasslands.

He came here on a business trip and built a house during the business trip. He really couldn't use his team as a construction team.

He resolutely rejected the request of these people, but he did not refuse the money delivered to the door-they will soon build a branch of the Hanzhong Glass Factory, and will soon recruit workers to make glass doors and windows.

These noble people think that their small buildings are good. Eight out of ten want glass doors and windows and bathrooms, but they all have servants to pour water. It doesn’t matter whether the bathrooms have sewers or not. The most important thing is the transparent and shiny glass windows .

Even ironware is rare on the grassland, let alone glass.

Those nobles had gold and silver in their homes, and they just wanted to enjoy themselves, so they nodded repeatedly: "Then order it! This is also the way for our clan to make friends with the officials of the Celestial Dynasty, so don't be stingy with silver!"

Since they were willing to spend money, the bachelor of Hanzhong "Economics" College, who was well versed in brokerage, naturally dared to ask for money.On the spot, I brought people to each house to measure the size of the doors and windows, set the specifications of the flower windows, and made an appointment to deliver the goods after the glass factory was built.

He was like a fish in water among the nobles in the grassland, and he signed orders for an unknown number of pieces of glass. Even the army temporarily stationed in Hanzhong was alarmed, and many people quietly went to see how his community was built.

Really good.

Although the house has a backside and the partitions are small, it is much better than the Datong bunk in their barracks.

Many people were very envious, and even wanted to persuade His Royal Highness King Qi to ask his brother for materials and craftsmen, so as to build good houses for soldiers like them.

However, the words reached King Qi's ear, but there was no news.

Although King Qi loves soldiers like sons, he has great ambitions: "After taking the northern grasslands and cleaning up the surrounding areas, it will be easy for you to become marquises and generals. Why bother to focus on one house?"

At that time, they will take advantage of the victorious momentum and ask the prefect of Song Dynasty to plan a garden for them in Beijing.

There is also an economic park built by his third brother in Beijing. If you need waterproof materials, you need waterproof materials, if you need porcelain water pipes, you need porcelain water pipes, and if you need faucets, you need faucets... At that time, the rooms will not be equipped with ordinary tables and chairs, but high-quality mahogany. What's it like to live in such a house with a complete set of furniture and a self-propelled alarm watch for each person?

King Qi's words calmed down the morale of the army, and when all the soldiers looked at the collective dormitory in Liangcheng, they felt that it was no longer so attractive.In comparison, they also want to step on the grassland more, find the royal court of the captives as soon as possible, and wipe out the enemy bandits as soon as possible.

The king of Qi and all the soldiers had the ambition to expand the territory, and they refused to live in a border town.But the people who live here are all poor herdsmen. The adults in Liangcheng give them houses for nothing, and they are already satisfied. How can they be picky?

The only thing to worry about is that the houses are too close together, and the cows and horses may not be able to keep them together.

Fortunately, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep have their own marks, and the large animals that have been raised also recognize their owners. After they moved to the garden.They also left the animals in the pen here, and they sent people from their own clan to watch them, so they wouldn't lose them.

Those herdsmen were happy that the Celestial Dynasty had built them a house, and they could live in it in a few days, so Liu Xueshi sent them another thirty miles out of the city.

The community has not yet transplanted flowers and trees, and the water and grass beside the Daihai Lake are lush. Everyone is a future resident, so try to transplant some by yourself.

No glass has been installed in the building yet. There is sand and stone that can burn glass at the bottom of Daihai Lake. We are all future residents, and we will bring back some quartz sand.

In the early spring, the grass is not abundant, and the grassland alone cannot support many cattle and sheep. We open a few more acres of land to plant alfalfa and soybeans to prepare fodder for the cattle and sheep...the grass dug out is fed to the cattle, sheep and horses on the spot, and the excess is piled up. Dry on the cement field.

Poor these little fat sheep have been tortured and slaughtered for a winter, and there are not many heads left, and the meat looks thin, so how can they be transported back to His Royal Highness Zhou to eat if they are not fed with fat.

The herdsmen were driven around by him, as if they had already lived the life of members of the production cooperative ahead of schedule.

They only listened to the instructions of Liu Xueshi and the experts of Hanzhong Mansion, digging the ground, shoveling grass, and running the lake sand... Before they knew it, many brighter and spacious bungalows were built outside the garden where they lived.

Their cattle, sheep and horses were moved into those houses, and pastures were enclosed outside for the animals to let loose.But if you look closely, there are concrete pools in the house. On weekdays, cattle and sheep are kept in the pools. There are food troughs and water tanks beside the pools. There are thin bamboo-reinforced concrete fences on the pools, and only cattle and sheep are allowed to stretch out. Come out to eat and drink.

The shape of the stable is similar, but there is no outer wall, and the horse trough is also built higher, which is used as a half wall to enclose the horses, and there is a small door for people and horses to enter and exit beside the trough.

The two veterinarians brought by Liu Xueshi took care of these animals: no matter whether they were noble or ordinary people, they were all locked in the shed, and only those who could do the work were selected to clean and feed them. They used lime water in the morning and evening. Wash the floor.The cow dung swept out is still the custom of the grassland, and is dried on the drying ground outside, but after that, it is no longer distributed to each family. Instead, it is retting into organic fertilizer, and the herdsmen are hired to grow grass and beans in the plowed fields.

They have been herding horses and sheep on the grassland since they came, and they have never seen this kind of breeding factory. Many herdsmen are frightened, afraid that the animals they have raised for half their lives will become someone else's.

Fortunately, many people were hired to work in cattle, sheep, and stables. They saw with their own eyes that the veterinarians from Hanzhong Mansion marked their animals with various labels, and provided enough fodder to feed them carefully regardless of the status of the owner's family.When these workers go in to clean the house, they have to wash their hands and change their clothes outside, step on wooden clogs, and only enter the house after they are clean.

It's not that they want to seize their cattle and sheep, but Hanzhong's method of raising cattle and sheep is more sophisticated. They think that they rely on the sky to raise cattle and raise them unsophisticatedly, so they want to set up a "farm" to raise good cattle for them.Not only to take care of them, but also to help them sell their cattle and sheep for money!

——As long as I get some profits from it, I just collect a feeding fee.These feeding fees also include the wages of their breeding workers. Could it be that they are not worth a bit of money for cleaning in the morning and evening, and rolling grass and mixing materials?

The herdsmen were half-believing when they heard this, and hated that they had taken too much work from the officials of Hanzhong Mansion. They were so busy earning money that they couldn't get away from looking at their cattle and sheep for a while.Seeing that they still doubted Chushi Liu, the people who worked in the factory also suspected that cattle breeders like them were careless, so they swore and swore:

"The horses from the Hanzhong mansion are also kept in the stable. They are released occasionally to run around in the yard with our horses. The veterinarian also looks at them the same way. Don't they take good care of their animals?"

Where is anyone who doesn't care about his cattle?

These simple herdsmen were persuaded, and they went outside the Mashemen to see that the veterinarian in Hanzhong was indeed there, and they were completely relieved, and then went to work in newly built or unbuilt factories and fields to make money.

The two veterinarians patrolled back and forth outside the brand-new stables, looking at the prairie stallions that are fat and smooth due to the growth of spring grass, and critically evaluating the quality of their offspring.

Spring is here, and it is the season for grassland animals to reproduce.

They only pick on the faults of other people's horses, but looking at their Hanzhong mares, they look better and better. They sprinkle the bean feed brought by Datong into their mangers, let them eat better, and give birth to young horses in Hanzhong as soon as possible. foal.

After caring for the mare, the veterinarians went to see the newly born lambs in Liangcheng, and the cows that should start to be restless soon...

They are currently only feeding raw soybeans, but Liu Xueshi has led several old craftsmen to install oil presses and extruded feed machines in the newly built factory.

The soybeans are first squeezed for oil, and then the remaining bean dregs cakes are used to make puffed feed for livestock, which can be used for two purposes and save food.In addition to the soybean meal, orange stalks, grass leaves, buckwheat... and the bird feathers harvested along the way can also be used. Put them into the extruder while crushing them while heating and puffing them. What comes out is extruded feed that is easy to absorb.

On the day the machine started, His Royal Highness Qi Tete went to the newly built factory to see it in person.

The factory building was extremely spacious, taller than the room in his prince's mansion, but it was not cut off in the middle, and when entering, one could only see the grand hall and bright windows.The sun shines through the glass windows under the roof, making the extruded feed machine standing beside the factory building gleaming.

The machine looks like a horizontal pipe from the outside, and there are wheels connected by belts on the side to control the stirring inside.There is a bucket-like feed inlet on the top of the pipe, and there is an iron furnace underneath for heating. The furnace burns good coal from Datong.

The machine is equipped with temperature and pressure dials, and people can clearly see the rotation of the upper pointer from the opposite side, which is convenient for controlling its temperature and inner rotation.

Even though it was late spring, the factory building was heated by the sunlight shining in through the glass windows and the fire, plus there were workers on wheels transporting materials back and forth, making people feel bored staying here.But looking at the pointers on the temperature and pressure dials that are turning little by little, and listening to Liu Chushi pointing out where to open the cover and discharge the material, it makes people feel nervous and excited for no reason.

King Qi was originally a fire-like character. Under the heat, he looked at the figures passing by, but somehow he was able to calm down, waited for the pointer to reach the proper position, and raised his hand suddenly, as if commanding an army. Said: "Let go."

The pressure in the machine flowed out together with the feather puffed products, and a pot of taupe, long strips with loose holes fell at the exit.

The taste is actually a bit fragrant.

The shape also seems a bit familiar.

King Qi has a very good memory. After thinking hard about the brown puff that was still a little hot to the touch, with a slightly burnt smell and a slight fishy smell, he finally remembered——

This seems to be a bit similar to a new Hanzhong snack brought by his brother when he delivered the army rations the day before yesterday?

The dim sum is sweet and crisp, and it melts in the mouth. It is said to be a masterpiece made by Song Sanyuan himself, and everyone in Hanzhong loves it.His elder brother is eating well, and specially brought it for him...

Dare to love their brothers, and then catch up with the talented person he aspires to, the people around him and so on... What do they eat, just like cattle and sheep eat something that is pressed out of a machine?
