I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 176
After Li Zicheng settled the cooking team, logistics team, and several villagers' teams for leveling the ground, he followed several young people up the mountain.

In the distance, there is the sound of mighty and neat chant.

And when the big tree was pulled down, it made a 'quack' sound, and that very powerful sound of falling to the ground.

Li Zicheng was quite puzzled, did he cut down the trees as if they were marching and fighting, or arranging troops?
Not to mention, the logging process of the Daming Academy is really the same as the formation of troops, not only requiring uniformity.

Moreover, there are strict regulations on which tree to cut first and which direction to fall, and 500 people should not be allowed to cut down indiscriminately.

Li Zicheng walked into the dense forest, only looked at it for a while, and then he understood it.

Professional, in the end is professional.

Look at other people's felling of trees, they are all picking old trees. For those big trees that are growing vigorously, and those young trees that have not yet fully developed, not only are they not cut down, but they are also strictly protected.

Every big tree that is pulled down often falls in the gaps between young trees.

Moreover, they are built together so that the woodcutters can cut off those branches and forks, and ensure that they can be turned into a large round log at the fastest speed.

A group of 50 people, some are chopping, some are sawing, and more, under the command of several young people, use ropes to pull those big trees to the ground one by one...

……

In less than two hours, it was getting late, and nearly a thousand giant trees were felled.

Next, it should be lifted down by someone, right?

Li Zicheng asked with some doubts: "Next, what should we do?"

"Do whatever you want, do whatever you want, whatever is convenient." A young man said with a smile: "The transportation passage below should be almost built, let's go and have a look."

Li Zicheng followed the young man out of the dense forest and was stunned for a moment.

In just over an hour, seven or eight 'passages' were dug out between the dense forest and the 'tool processing factory' at the foot of the mountain.

"Come on, let's go and help."

Li Zicheng followed behind in bewilderment, still a little confused in his heart, what are these guys pretending to be in their heads?Why is it different from our old Li?

At the lumberyard, several young people demonstrated that they started to make a 'lumber truck' with tools such as axes and saws.

The wheels are ready-made, just saw a large log and make it thicker.

Drill a hole in that piece of big log, put an iron rod in, and connect with another piece of big log with a hole in it to form a pair of spokes.

The two ends of a giant log are supported on two 'spokes', and a simple 'brake control device' is configured, and then you can 'Benz' down the mountain...

Of course, there are many details in it, Li Zicheng didn't understand it for a while. Anyway, it looks like a simple device, but it is very enjoyable to use.

Under the command of this group of young people, it seems that only one person can find a way to carry it down the mountain.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

Logging and transporting were extremely heavy tasks, so Li Zicheng had to urgently order the cooking team at the foot of the mountain to speed up the progress and send a batch of white rice, fatty fish, chicken soup, etc. to the mountain.

Seeing the young and middle-aged laborers eating and drinking, with excited expressions on their faces, Li Zicheng also felt a little excited in his heart.

These young people are so good at playing.

"By the way, boys, how should we move the wood?" Li Zicheng suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to arrange for the second round of villagers?"

"Well, it's all agreed, we're working continuously and working in three shifts." A young man said with a smile, "Just let everyone know that everyone is divided into three groups;
The young and middle-aged labor force of each group should be matched with the elderly, women, and children;

In addition, you tell the common people that they are paid for doing these jobs.

Young and middle-aged laborers, one silver coin for ten days, and other old and weak women and children, one silver coin for 20 days.

When the road between our Taohua City and Taohuagang is completed, we will release it to everyone in one go.

In addition, some ingenious, honest and honest people, no matter men, women, old or young, will be hired as skilled workers in our third branch and enjoy a monthly salary of three silver coins..."

Li Zicheng: "..."

This fat man was once again in a mess in the wind.

A civilian husband actually wants to enjoy the imperial salary?These young people are too good at bragging, right?One mouth is three silver coins, why not say three gold coins?
A silver coin, in the current Ming Dynasty, is worth a tael of silver, which is enough for a poor family to eat and wear for several months...

"Little brother, is it true that this civilian husband enjoys a salary...?" Li Zicheng couldn't help asking.

"Haha, look at what your old man said. This is the salary standard set by the Lord Long Live. What can we work people say?" A young man laughed loudly and said:

"It's no wonder Village Chief Li didn't believe it. In fact, we didn't believe it at the beginning either."

"I think back then, the reason why we poor boys from farming families went to the capital to go to college was because we rushed to the imperial list of admissions. It was clearly written that food and lodging were included, admission was free, and...

There is also a salary of two taels of silver every month! "

Listening to the young man's words, Li Zicheng was at a loss for a while.

At the beginning, Li Zicheng also had such an opportunity, but at the time, he thought it was the court farting, and that idiot emperor was messing around...

Unexpectedly, God's will tricks people, a mistake...,

Cough, wrong step, wrong step.

Look at these young people from the Daming Academy, they not only receive the imperial salary, but more importantly, they have learned so many skills.

It's true, if you compare yourself to others, you have to...

"Mr. Li, why are you in a daze? Are you missing your little daughter-in-law?"

Seeing Li Zicheng's distraught look, how could the young people think that the "Ouchi Secret Agent [-]" of the Long Live Lord would think of that trivial matter back then?

"What do you want, little daughter-in-law!"

Li Zicheng sighed, and said with a wry smile: "In a person's life, once he misses one or two crucial steps, it will be a completely different life.

However, it is not too late to remedy the situation.

All of this is still in time, in time..."

Young people: "..."

This 'big inner secret agent [-]' suddenly became a little distracted, what are you talking about?

Why are you still sighing?

"Brothers, I, Li Zicheng, will be responsible for the rest of the transfer of civilian husbands!" Li Zicheng clasped his fists and said seriously: "However, I have a request, and I hope you guys don't refuse it.

I, Li Zicheng, want to learn crafts and techniques from you!
I also want to be a student of Daming Academy! "

This matter, just think about it!
As for the salary and so on... By the way, hurry down and get Widow Dong an 'official establishment' first!

Among his children, two and a half children are quite clever, so they might as well get a place for them.

Tsk tsk, after finishing this big job, it's time to plow the fields.

In this world, there are only donkeys struggling to death.

We can't let our one-acre three-point land go to waste...
