The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 85
In fact, Wu Zhenkun didn't need to say anything, his subordinates had already done it.

They came here only to report for Wu Zhenkun.

"Yes, sir!"

The visitor nodded and said.

Wu Zhenkun waved his hands casually to let them go down.

Until now, Wu Zhenkun had never thought that Song Wei would be so capable.

From the beginning of the salt war to the road construction now, everything is against him, and they are all blocking his plan.

However, he and Red Fox cooperated to cause trouble for Song Wei. As a result, the invincible Red Fox retreated steadily in front of Song Wei.

Even to the point of running away with people.

Now Wu Zhenkun can only pray that there will be no flaws in this plan.

And Cai Hu has already started construction.

Groups of people came, and Cai Hu assigned them to posts.

Some people are carrying water, and some are stirring it.

Others are smoothing the dirt road.

Every time Cai Hu assigns people, he will look at their progress and then provide guidance.

Everyone's work is orderly and not chaotic.

This way Cai Hu can relax, but more and more people are coming and he is a little overwhelmed.

But Cai Hu didn't complain, he just felt that this was what he should do.

And he felt in his heart that as long as Song Wei spoke, many people would come.

Song Wei has given him so many surprises from the beginning to now that Cai Hu is already somewhat immune.

When he saw something surprising about Song Wei, he just took it for granted.

With no other choice, Cai Hu had no choice but to work harder.

……

In another part of Zhen'an County, a group of people were also busy.

If Cai Hu hadn't told Song Wei that there was not enough manpower, the excitement here would be no less intense than in the city.

This is where Song Wei asked Huang Baifu to come.

Huang Baifu is now standing aside and looking at the busy crowd. He no longer knows how many days it has been since he came here.

Since Song Wei asked him to come here, he has been busy.

His mind was full of the tasks Song Wei gave him, so that he forgot the time and other things.

And after a few days, he finished building the brick kiln.

Then he started to go to the mountain to get materials for burning bricks.

He had heard Song Wei talk about this matter, and in his heart, it was a very sacred thing.

In his eyes, this is a magical technique that turns mud into stone.

So Huang Baifu was always excited.

But after countless failures, Huang Baifu finally recognized the reality.

This art of turning mud into stone is not easy to accomplish. After Huang Baifu calmed down, he began to think seriously about the booklet Song Wei gave him.

All processes are recorded here.

He felt that there might be some negligence in the constant failure, but the burning of bricks never stopped.

Several brick kilns have been built here by Huang Baifu.

It was also transformed into a secret workshop by him, no, in terms of the earth, it is a laboratory.

Of course, it is now very simple, with only a few wooden houses in addition to the brick kiln.

But around him, Huang Baifu hired many people to guard these brick kilns.

This is what Song Wei meant, because these things cannot be made public.

Huang Baifu looked at these people and sighed, because a brick kiln failed again.

Huang Baifu waved his hand and asked them to make it again.

And at this time, someone suddenly shouted.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to tell my lord that we succeeded, really succeeded!"

Huang Baifu was overjoyed when he heard it. This was the happiest news he had heard recently.

He hurried over and saw several people holding a long stone.

Huang Baifu stopped and looked at them.

"Really...really successful?"

Huang Baifu asked with some uncertainty.

Everyone's eyes were a little wet: "Sir, we succeeded! It's true that mud turns into stone!"

As they spoke, they handed the long stone in their hands to Huang Baifu.

"Lord, please see!"

They said in unison.

Huang Baifu stared closely at the stone in their hands.

After taking it, he put it in front of him. After observing it for a while, Huang Baifu's breathing became rapid.

This stone is exactly the same as what Song Wei described!
To...success!

Huang Baifu shouted in his heart.

Huang Baifu's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This art of turning clay into stone is true.

There are no words to describe Huang Baifu's mood now.

After experiencing countless failures, Huang Baifu finally succeeded in becoming popular.

I really don't know what words to use to describe this feeling.

"I'm going to tell the magistrate!"

Huang Baifu said in his heart after calming down.

"Good job, I will give you a bonus when the monthly fee is paid! But now you have to teach all of them how to make it, and you are their team leader now, and I am going to report to the county magistrate, so everything here I leave it all to you.”

Huang Baifu said to the person in front of him.

"Yes!"

When they heard that Huang Baifu said he would give them a bonus, they were naturally delighted.

Then they heard that Huang Baifu asked them to be the team leader, and they were extremely happy, and they were extremely confident in the task of teaching others.

Huang Baifu did not wait any longer, but turned and left.

Now he has to rush to report the good news to Song Wei.

……

At the moment, Song Wei is in his room.

Cai Hu's road construction has already started, but there is no news from Huang Baifu.

But Song Wei was not angry. Brick firing is a technical job, and mastering the fire and materials are the most important things.

So Song Wei also feels that this matter will not happen quickly.

But now I am in a hurry, because with the addition of a large number of manpower, the efficiency of Cai Hu's paving tasks will be greatly improved.

In other words, there is not much time left for Huang Baifu. As long as all the roads are paved, the next step is to build a house.

Fortunately, Song Wei found another thing to do, which could delay Huang Baifu for a while.

He also recruited a large number of blacksmiths during this recruitment.

What would a blacksmith do?
Ironmaking of course!
Moreover, the output of iron ore in this era was very small, and the iron-making technology was very poor.

But the necessity for building a house is steel bars, but the ironmaking technology of this era can't make steel bars at all.

So Song Wei had to make iron by himself, and he hired blacksmiths because he wanted them to make iron for him.

Ironmaking requires large amounts of iron ore and fire.

Although Song Wei did not find the iron mine, Song Wei found the coal mine.

The problem of the fire source is solved directly, and all that needs to be done now is to buy a batch of iron ore.

As for iron-making technology?It would be great if Song Wei had a system to directly redeem a book of iron-making methods.

And now Song Wei has sent people to Red Fox Mountain so that they can secretly transport the coal back.

Of course, Song Wei also sent people to buy a batch of iron ore, but no iron ore was found near Zhen'an County.

Therefore, if you want iron ore, you have to go further and it will take longer.

This is also Song Wei's method to delay time for Huang Baifu.

At this moment, Song Wei's door was suddenly knocked.

Before Song Wei could speak, he rushed in alone.

"Sir, we succeeded! We succeeded!"
