The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Yan Huaiwen went out, found the village elders at the big stone, and confessed his thoughts.

Naturally received the full support of several old men.

Immediately, he called Master Lu and made another change to the watchtower.

After listening to their thoughts patiently, Master Lu went through his mind for a few times, then drew on the ground with a stone for a while, stood up and said, "I probably understand what you are thinking. What Yan Hushu means is that this The stairs inside the watchtower are made hollow, and a hanging basket is installed on the top, which is convenient for transporting things up and down."

Yan Huaiwen added: "When necessary, people can also be transported."

"This can be done, but the size of the watchtower may be larger than originally planned, and the cellar mentioned earlier must be preserved, so it cannot be done as originally negotiated. I suggest that the cellar Make it smaller, like the cellars of the Yan family, connected to each other, this will not only meet your requirements, but will not affect the stability of the watchtower."

"If the construction starts now, when will it be completed?" Village Chief Luo asked impatiently.

Master Lu: ...

You were the ones who said it was not too bad in the past few days, but now you are the ones who want to start the work immediately.

"If there are enough people, the work can be completed within a month." Master Lu estimated the number.

"Then I'll gather people tomorrow morning." Village Chief Luo was very happy, and did what he said.

Unknown, Master Lu went back to Qi's house and continued to work.

"Village chief, there is one more thing." Yan Huaiwen said again: "In order to build an archery tower and build a high wall in the village, a large number of people are needed. No matter how capable the villagers are, there are some tasks that only a few people can complete."

Old Song Tou responded, "No, Qi Wu is the only one in the village who knows how to punch wood, and other people who want to help can only stare blankly and do some lifting work."

"Scholar, do you have any ideas?" Village Chief Luo asked.

Yan Huaiwen said: "My idea is that we might as well learn from the practices of various cities to absorb refugees, and if we have skills, we can invite them and even their families to settle in the village.

We help them open up wasteland, build houses, settle down, and let them help us solve problems. "

Uncle Hu looked around cautiously: "It's good for us to use bamboo crossbows. Do we have to make iron arrows?"

It turned out that Yan Huaiwen found them just now and said that he was going to restart the bamboo crossbow.

He also mentioned that he wanted to further upgrade the power of the bamboo crossbow, replacing ordinary bamboo arrows with iron arrows.

"I have checked the documents kept by Huju, and according to the records, the Northern Rong often chooses after the autumn harvest, and crosses the pass to plunder in the early winter, which is the time when the people in Guanzhou have not yet harvested and the grain reserves are abundant.

As the weather turns colder, in order to keep warm, the fur on their bodies will be added. Ordinary bamboo arrows and wooden arrows can't shoot through them at all. Only sharp iron objects can hurt the enemy. "

The village elders understood and became worried.

Village Chief Luo said worriedly: "But... it is a felony to forge ironware privately."

"The situation in Guanzhou is different from other big prefectures. Weapons and soldiers can be hidden among the people. The management of ironware is not so strict, and there are also cases to follow. In our village, it is still possible to support one or two hunting families."

Orion can hold a bow and hold weapons openly, including iron crossbows of course.

"As for blacksmiths, it's not uncommon for ordinary people not to be a blacksmith. It's just that they need to be investigated carefully, and it's not something that can be done in a day or two."

Yan Huaiwen took out a drawing and paved it on the big rock.

Said: "This is the blueprint of the waterwheel. It takes a skilled carpenter to reproduce this object. A stone mill can be attached to the bottom, saving time and effort.

All wooden parts need to be replaced year by year. If the key points in the middle are replaced with iron, the service life can be greatly extended. "

"Carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons..." Old Song Tou reacted quickly, and soon came up with a good idea: "There are a lot of disaster victims in Gufeng, so we just went to a few boys and asked them to inquire more. If you have skills, you can bring people to our village!"

The old men were very moved.

Mr. Xiucai even plans to use the bamboo crossbow again, so it can be seen that the border town of Huju is not very safe!

They had been prepared for a long time, especially after being groped into the village from the mountain by the six Beirong.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said yes to the mention of the archery tower, and said yes to the mention of enclosing the village with a high wall, and I’ve always said yes…

It's all for the whole village!

Iron arrows have to be used, and they also want to use waterwheels and water mills. They will respond positively to everything that is for the betterment of the village.

"Then tomorrow, let someone send a message to Yan Er and the others." Village Chief Luo made a final decision.

Introduce the talent plan and decide on it.

"When Tianyou left, when will he come back?" Yan Huaiwen asked softly.

Village head Luo said honestly: "There is no fixed time, but before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will definitely come back. Our village wants to hold a water mat, and those boys are thinking about it."

Yan Huaiwen looked at the sky, put away the drawings, and went to Liang's house again.

Liang Manshan was wearing homely clothes and was mixing plaster in the yard.

The prescription given by the Yan family has now become the first choice for villagers to build houses.

Who uses earthen mortar when there is stronger mortar.

The Liang family doesn't show off their mountains and water, and never reveals their wealth.

But a house is still different from others.

Although they didn't build a few brick and stone houses like Yan's and Qi's, they still found someone to build the house.

But when it comes to the number of bricks purchased, other than these two are his family.

Mr. Liang kept a low profile and bought in batches.

He and Liang Fengnian were the only ones in the family, the old and the young. They couldn't do heavy work, so they spent money to find the men in the village to help.

Don't work all day, don't care about food, dig the foundation today, build the courtyard wall tomorrow, and build the stove the day after tomorrow...

A hammer to the east and a stick to the west, as if there is no plan, and do whatever comes to mind.

But as time went by and I looked at Liang's house again, the main house was basically formed, and even the tiles were bought back. I just waited for Master Lu to spare time to install tiles for his house.

Until Liang Manshan came home, the biggest job left at home was to build walls.

Liang Manshan and Liang Tongsheng tried to build it by themselves after seeing how Master Lu and the others worked.

Not to mention, it's still doing a decent job.

Liang Fengnian took advantage of his work points in the Boy Scouts to collect a lot of unattractive cement bricks.

Although these cement bricks are not very smooth, they are much easier to use than angular stones.

My father and I have been busy since yesterday. We have already built one wall, and there are two remaining walls. Seeing that we are getting more and more familiar with each other, and we cooperate seamlessly. The remaining two sides, we will catch up today, and if we are greedy, we will almost get it.

As soon as Yan Huaiwen entered the yard, Liang Manshan hurriedly put down his work and was about to wash his hands to serve the guests.

He knew that Yan Huai Wending had something to say.

Yan Huaiwen told him not to stop, and asked Liang Manshan to listen while busy.

He first briefly talked about the archery tower, the bamboo crossbow, and his plan to find a skilled elder to settle in Xiao'an Village.

Then talk about Gu Feng's secondment to Hu Ju.

"Master Tian has a heart for the common people, and he is hesitant now, but he is not sure who to send there. You and I are both registered households, have experience in fleeing famine, and are familiar with the treatment of the tiger's epidemic. If we go to Gufeng, there should be one person."

Liang Manshan plastered skillfully, filling the gaps as much as possible, scraping off the excess plaster.

Hearing the words: "I will go. After the festival, the grain tax will be put into the warehouse. It is related to the situation from this winter to the spring of next year. In order to help us, there is not much grain left in the county warehouse, so we are waiting for this batch of autumn grain to enter. warehouse.

We are new here, and it is the first time we are handling such a major event, so we must not be fooled by others. Brother Huaiwen is thoughtful, and I am far behind.

I went to Gufeng, you stared at the harvest. "

Yan Huaiwen shook his head lightly: "It doesn't matter what you and I say about this matter, it depends on how Mr. Tian makes a decision. What I want to say is that Gu Feng is no better than a tiger. I'll wait for the past, talk more, and do less."

"Why talk more and do less?" Liang Manshan stopped and turned to look at him.

"Huju's treatment of various diseases can be explained in detail. If you say too much, everything that Gu Feng does has nothing to do with my Huju servant. You can help, but you can't take responsibility. You can say that you do less."

Liang Manshan understood, and frowned slightly: "Brother Huaiwen, are you being too cautious?"

"The Gufeng epidemic is wider and more serious, and it has attracted the attention of all parties. If I successfully suppress the epidemic first, the pressure on the master Gufeng will inevitably increase. I will just help you. Let's go, don't ask for help." meritorious service."

Liang Manshan remained silent.

Seeing that he was speechless, Yan Huaiwen sighed softly: "You and I are just household registration, just do your duty, if you do too much, I'm afraid that Gu Feng's colleagues will get bored with us."

That's the reason.

Both were also trapped by the epidemic, one side turned around and won the battle, while the other side got stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate themselves, so they had to seek help from Lincheng.

This move is extremely clever, but also extremely helpless.

Who is willing to admit that their side is inferior to others?

In particular, Huju is a border city with a small population and limited production. It is not comparable to the two cities of Gufeng and Changping, and the official subordinates are not evenly matched.

It was not as good as in the past, but now he used to give advice and do things, and his heart was inevitably out of balance.

If you continue to work hard and do everything, if you compare Gu Feng to the government, if you fall into his eyes, you will only complain.

"Okay, if the Elder Master asks me to go, I'll just keep my mouth shut and say nothing." Liang Manshan said.

Yan Huaiwen: "Your words are in the same breath as my family's Tianyou."

Liang Manshan laughed: "Brother Huai'an and I made a deal, if it were him, I guess he would say the same thing, he would help out with good intentions, but he would worry about overwhelming them. If he is so capable, how could he make a mess of Gu Feng? .

The official documents on epidemic control have been sent over long ago. Brother Huaiwen's writings are so detailed that they won't fall into the current situation after being copied.

If you don't believe Huju's words, you can't help but invite us to go again. Brother Huaiwen's thinking is reasonable, so you need to be more vigilant. "

Yan Huaiwen: "I plan to go back and forth to Huju today to find out what the Grand Master is thinking, so as not to rush things and not prepare in time."

Liang Manshan has worked with him for a while, and has some impressions of his actions.

Know that he seeks perfection in everything, and does not fight unprepared battles.

He said: "Then let me take a walk with you. It's still early in the morning, so I'll be back soon after dinner."

"I'll just go. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Hurry up and tidy up the walls of the courtyard, so as not to make the house messy and make it impossible to spend the festive season peacefully." Yan Huaiwen said.

Liang Manshan: ...

This is a bit heartbreaking, is it messy? He thought it was quite neat.

...

After Yan Huaiwen came out of Liang's house, he went home and got a car.

Yan Yu heard that he was going to Huju City and wanted to follow.

"Uncle, can you take me with you? I want to buy some paper for wrapping mooncakes."

She brought the moon cakes made of molds to the uncle like a treasure, and let him have a taste.

Yan Huaiwen broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth, and nodded slightly.

Appreciated: "Not bad."

What he ate was red bean paste, which was just the right amount of sweetness.

It's no wonder that Xiao Er is obsessed with selling moon cakes, Mrs. Rong's craftsmanship is very good.

Seeing that her uncle didn't object, Yan Yu knew that it was done, and happily went back to her room to pack her small backpack, took all her belongings with her, and took three taels of silver from her mother.

Yan Huaiwen watched her bouncing back to the house with a smile, but didn't say anything, he intended to take her out.

Otherwise, if he drives alone, whether Huju will be able to find it is another matter. Whether he can find his way home is also unknown.

The bullock cart came out of the courtyard, alarming the village elders at the big stone.

They came over to inquire.

Yan Huaiwen explained that he would go to Huju and return on the same day, so the village elders were relieved and talked to him about tomorrow's arrangements.

Yan Yu listened from the sidelines, and soon learned about the building of the archery building tomorrow, and the village elders almost recruited all the remaining strong men in the village, and planned to cut down trees and dig the earth for ingredients and mud in the few days before the festival, so as to make enough The cement bricks were used to build the expanded village center arrow tower.

Yan Yu: ...

After leaving the village, Yan Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle, why is the archery building bigger?"

According to her calculations, the previous size was sufficient, and any larger size would take a lot of work and materials.

Yan Huaiwen bluntly said that hanging rails should be added to facilitate up and down transportation.

"Hide the bamboo crossbow in the cellar, and when needed, use a hanging basket to quickly transport it up. Hehe, it can transport people and save the time of climbing stairs."

Hearing that Xiao Er immediately thought of the benefits, Yan Huaiwen became interested and handed her the blueprint of the waterwheel.

Said: "Look at this, can you understand it?"

"Wow!" Yan Yu's eyes lit up, but luckily she didn't forget to use her father as a shield: "Could this be the water wheel that father said? If you put it in the river, it will be taken away by the river. Father said that the water wheel is useful It can irrigate the land and pull the mill instead of animals!"

The corners of Yan Huaiwen's mouth turned up slightly, what Tianyou said was very true.

The waterwheel is indeed an Italian farmhouse.

But soon Yan Yu's mood became depressed, and he said regretfully: "It's a pity that Uncle Qi may not be able to do it, uncle, is there a good carpenter in Huju City? If you can make this water truck, let's invite someone to come to the village to make one." Bar."

Thinking of hiring someone, she checked the bill, thinking it was impossible, she was a little nervous!

"Let's wait a little longer. We don't have that much money now, and we have to buy food for the winter."

"Huju's carpenters with good craftsmanship have been invited by Mr. Tian to repair the border defense. If we want to find them, we can only go elsewhere." Yan Huaiwen said.

"Then... Gu Feng, yes, that's it. The last time I went with my father, there were a lot of victims there. There must be people with good craftsmanship. When the epidemic is over, let's invite these people to help us with work. Less copper plate."

Yan Yu smiled and said: "We need those with poor workmanship, the village is like our house, the house is bare, pointing to me, Uncle Qi, when will I be able to make the furniture we need for the whole village.

I want a kang bed, no, our family has five kang beds, the study room must have a cabinet for books, and there must be a big table for reading and writing. I always use the small table on the kang. Uncomfortable, tired and flustered.

It would be great if there are still people who can build houses, work together with Master Lu and the others, our archery towers can be cleaned up..."

Probably because the sky was very blue and the wind was very light, Yan Yu was very happy being shaken by the bullock cart.

The chatterbox is back again, babbling on and on.
