Cub Nursery

Yan Xun came to draw a circle by the river.

The next day, many people came, dug a hole, drove wooden stakes in, surrounded the field with straw mats, and surrounded the land, leaving only a few exits, making simple gates, and some people guarded them specially. Door.

Yan Xun specially handed over the booklet, and needed the help of the cubs to build the bridge.

It’s not easy to tell the truth about this matter, after all, when Yang Shuning brought the cubs back and was surrounded by Taoist soldiers, he didn’t directly explain one thing: he didn’t say that the cubs couldn’t leave Honglu temple.

The little cubs are not allowed to leave Honglu Temple casually, the emperor didn't say it explicitly, it just tacitly agreed.

Later, Yan Xun was allowed to bring the cubs out, and the Honglu Temple was allowed to open for an hour every day, which was the emperor's oral order, so it was not a serious rule.When it came to the Tofu Festival, Yan Xun would often take the cubs out. I am afraid that this matter had already spread to the palace, but the emperor did not express his opinion.

Now that Yan Xun has officially accepted the offer, the emperor can only agree, because even if there is cement, it may not be easy to repair the bridge, and he has to come to Honglu Temple.

"My lord, will we live by the river in the future?" The snake-bodied cub swam over and leaned against Yan Xun's thigh, with a worried expression on his face.

The most indispensable thing by the river is water, and everyone will definitely not be short of water by then, so I am afraid that the snake cub will not be needed to help.

"You won't live by the river forever, don't worry, your ability is far more than that." Yan Xun pinched the soft cheek of the snake cub, and asked with a smile, "Do you still remember what I said yesterday? "

"Remember!" said the snake body cub, his eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly to show that he understood.

Yesterday Yan Xun said that the water that seems to be the same clear is actually different, there are many existences in it that cannot be seen clearly, and the water made by the snake body cub is pure and clean water, and it will be used again in the future There are many more uses.

"My lord, can we make that kind of magnified glass?" The snake cub followed Yan Xun and swam forward with sparkling eyes, "Will you be able to see that the water I made is different from other water when it is finished?" Nothing is different."

"En." Yan Xun smiled and nodded.

Glass recipes are now well established and can be fired into pure and transparent glass.

The flame cubs heated up, and the black and white cubs led the flowing liquid to fly out, turning into colorless transparent glass with a thick center and thin edges.

Just a piece of glass has a great effect, it can magnify and focus light.

The cubs got a small piece of glass, carefully put it in their pockets, followed Yan Xun into the carriage, and went to the river.

The riverside is empty. It was originally a piece of farmland, which belonged to Jia's family. There is a lot of grain grown every year. This time, Yan Xun took it over and directly circled it. The grain was collected and sent to the household department without even asking for a single grain.

The Jia family dared to ask Yan Xun for food, but they didn't dare to go to the household department, so they had to swallow their breath, and then angered Yan Xun, completely forgetting their own IOUs.

Before the carriage could go in, suddenly a few servants rushed out to block it, weeping.

"My lord." Jing Fengye stood in front of Yan Xun with a stern face, looking nervously at the cloth curtain that hadn't been opened yet.

He could feel the deep, deep hostility towards Yan Xun.

"Don't the Taoist soldiers care?" The snake cub leaned against Yan Xun, a little scared.

Seeing that the cubs were a little scared, Yan Xun patted their heads soothingly, and said in a low voice, "This matter is not under the control of the Dao Bing, it should be under the control of the Yin Yamen of the capital. Don't be afraid, just watch .”

As Yan Xun said, he pulled Jing Fengye behind him, straightened his clothes, and Shi Shiran got out of the carriage.

Several elderly men and women knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, shouting that there was no way out.They were all wearing tattered clothes, kneeling on the ground shivering from the cold.

Although they were dressed in shabby clothes, none of them were skinny, they were all fat.

"What are you doing?" Yan Xun looked surprised, "Whoever doesn't give you a way to survive, go to the Yamen to sue, if it doesn't work, you can still sue. This is the capital, at the feet of the emperor, who dares to break the law?"

The old man paused, looked at each other, secretly glanced at Yan Xun, and continued to cry, louder.

"It's useless for you to cry here, how about I send you to the Yamen?" Yan Xun said, waving towards the gate.

The temporary gate was only covered by straw mats, and the movement of the gate had already been transmitted inside.While Yan Xun was speaking, Sun Yuanbao led a group of young and strong men, elder brothers, and strong women to the door, and when he saw Yan Xun waving, he rushed out, without saying a word. People drag up.

Sun Yuanbao said honestly: "My lord, will you send me to the yamen now?"

"Are you trying to disregard human life?" The old man was caught by two strong men, panicked, and began to yell loudly.

"What are you talking about? I want to help you." Yan Xun cupped his hands at Sun Yuanbao, "Excuse me, send it to the yamen. I have some money here, and I will find a lawyer for them."

As he said that, Yan Xun gave Sun Yuanbao some big money.

"My lord, we will definitely do it!" Sun Yuanbao took the money, smiled honestly, turned around to look at the old man making trouble, immediately stared at the old man who made trouble, and immediately waved with a pair of tiger eyes, "Let's go!"

The strong men didn't care about the struggle of the old man and others, they left under pressure.

Followed by a few eloquent brothers and women, the rest directly surrounded Yan Xun and entered the gate.

Apart from those from Sunjia Village, these people also had people from nearby villages. It was the first time they saw Yan Xun and the cubs, and they were all curious and reverent.

Because of Sunjia Village, as long as they are diligent, regardless of whether they are men or brothers, they will all get rich.In particular, Sun Yuanbao's family made tofu and sent it to the city. The business was getting bigger and bigger. Now the family had hired many people, and even bought a house in the city.

Coincidentally, the house that Sun Yuanbao bought was originally a little far away from Honglu Temple, but since the road was built and a row of houses was demolished, Sun Yuanbao's house was directly on the side of the road.

Half a bowl of tofu, Sun Yuanbao asked Yan Xun for advice, and Yan Xun gave him a note, telling him to tidy up a room, open a door on the side near the cement road, and build a shop.

At that time, Sun Yuanbao built it when he returned home. Unexpectedly, the business was good and he was already a little famous.

This time Yan Xun had enclosed a piece of land by the river, and as soon as Sun Yuanbao heard about it, he hurried to Honglu Temple to inquire, to see if there was anything he could do to help.Yan Xun naturally needed people to do the work, so he asked Sunjia Village to find some people from the surrounding villages.

Although these individuals have never met Yan Xun, but they have heard from Sunjiacun, and they have watched everyone in Sunjiacun get rich and rich, and they are only envious in their hearts. This time they have an opportunity, how can they let it go?

These are the people who helped to fence the land.

So many people gathered around at once, the little cubs were hiding behind Yan Xun, the one in front was pulling the clothes from the back, and the one in the front was pulling Yan Xun's clothes.

The snake-body cub was at the back, flicking the clothes of the cub in front with the tip of its tail, turning its big eyes, and saw a child hiding behind those strange adults, and it happened to match its eyes.

"Today I invite everyone to have hot pot." Yan Xun said with a smile, "Don't worry about work, we have plenty of time."

"My lord, let's go to work for a while."

As soon as the others heard this, they all pleaded guilty and turned around to work.

Greedy for petty gain, stealing rape and playing tricks, these individuals really didn't dare to do it, because the conditions Yan Xun gave were really good, and they even took care of the food when they got paid, and even planned to build a concrete building for them to travel. People living far away.

That is a concrete building, it would be great to buy a cement slab and a kang, Yan Xun actually planned to ask them to live in a cement building, how dare they be lazy, unless they don't want wages.

Everyone left, only the child remained, looking at Yan Xun curiously.

"My lord." The snake-bodied cub loosened the clothes of the little cub in front, swam to the front, and looked at the child equally curiously.

"It looks like he wants to come over, go over and ask him." Yan Xun stroked the little snake cub's head and looked at him encouragingly.

"En." The snake cub nodded and slowly swam over.

When it was two or three steps away from the child, the snake body cub stopped, the tip of its tail nimbly reached into its pocket, and rolled out a small wooden stick wrapped in oiled paper.

Sun Chen'er shrank back without avoiding it, and looked curiously at the nimble tail tip of the snake cub.

The tip of the tail swayed, and the oiled paper bag was loosened a little, and the crystal sugar inside could be seen, as well as an incomparably sweet smell.It's caramel, Sun Chen'er has never eaten it, but he saw the children in the city eating it, and he recognized the taste.

"I'll eat it for you." The snake-body cub moved forward to send candy, and said in a milky voice.

He was wearing a thick jacket, and judging by his face, he was smaller and shorter than Sun Chen'er.

Sun Chen'er swallowed, reached out to take the candy, unwrapped the parchment paper and put it in his mouth, it was sweet, fragrant and sweet.

After a while, the snake-body cub chatted with Sun Chen'er.

Yan Xun went to look at the dug foundation, then went to the riverside to check the plan for the last time.

When I came back again, I saw the snake body cub and Sun Chener walking together, Yan Xun smiled and said, "You guys go too." The cubs immediately cheered and ran over, because there was a snake body cub and Sun Chen The children were familiar, and the cubs soon talked to Sun Chen'er.

"My lord." Seeing Yan Xun approaching, Sun Chen'er hastily saluted solemnly.

Yan Xun was a little curious, how could there be children here, when he asked people to do the work, all he wanted were strong men, clever men and women, children did not ask for it.

"Who is your father?" Yan Xun asked.

"My father is Sun Yuanbao." Sun Chen'er said respectfully, "My father often said that our family lives well because of the adults, and told me to remember the goodness of the adults for the rest of my life and never forget it."

The little brother is not very old, and looks similar to the cubs.

Seeing Sun Chener say that, Yan Xun remembered.

When he first went to Sunjia Village to buy beans, he met Sun Chen'er once.It's just that at that time Sun Chen'er was dark and thin, with only a pair of big eyes that were still bright. He was huddled in Sun Yuanbao's arms, and he was a little scared when he saw Yan Xun.

Now Sun Chen'er is wearing new clothes, her face is round and chubby, very fair, she looks like a different person, Yan Xun didn't recognize her all at once.

"Your father is good." Yan Xun said with a smile.

"My lord, he wants to learn to read with us." The snake cub said hastily.

Now that Sun Yuanbao was not short of money, he was able to bring Sun Chen'er to seek enlightenment from his husband, but he hadn't found it. This time he brought Sun Chen'er to the city just to ask Yan Xun.

Sun Yuanbao knew about it, and he also knew little You'er.

Such a child, although he doesn't know much now, goes to Honglu Temple every day to learn, not to mention making progress every day, and the calculation is even faster, and he even became a cashier. Sun Yuanbao is very envious. Go to Mr. Kaimeng, literacy should not be a problem, but if you want to become an accountant at a young age, I'm afraid it won't work.

"Success." Yan Xun thought for a while, then nodded decisively.

"Thank you, my lord." Sun Chen'er saluted respectfully.

Yan Xun asked the little cubs to entertain Sun Chen'er. They just arrived, and many things have not been delivered yet, but the little cubs have a lot of delicious food in their pockets. Dust some.

After a while, Sun Chen'er had a lot of food in his pocket, and he also learned alphabet songs.

Sun Yuanbao led everyone back, all of them were aggrieved.

"My lord, those people did not want to sue for their mischief. We hired a lawyer and sent them to the yamen, but they ran away by themselves." Sun Yuanbao said, "We have found out clearly that those people are all servants of the Jia family."

"They really are deceiving people too much!"

"My lord, as long as you say a word, we will beat them up next time we see them!"

The hot-tempered men didn't do anything after hearing Yan Xun's words this time, they couldn't bear it anymore, they picked up a stone and crushed it back and forth in their hands, and it crushed into several pieces after a while.

Yan Xun had already guessed this matter, "It's okay, free people rule him, and wait."

Around noon, two carriages came to the river, and Yan Xun led the people to wait at the gate.This time, it was Qin Liu who personally delivered the hot pot. The vegetables and meat slices in it were the freshest and the quantity was extremely large.

Yan Xun didn't use a small pot, but a big iron pot that brought the rebellion a long time ago. Put the meat in it and boil it, then take it out and put it on a plate, and the big guys share it.

"What does the Sixth Prince think of this job?" Yan Xun asked with a smile.

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and cooking is the job of a cook, which is not elegant.At first, Qin Liu didn't dare to resist when he got the errand because the emperor personally pointed him out and called him to come. If he resisted, it would be disrespectful to the emperor, so don't try to be favored in the future.

But after a few days of receiving the errand, the people in the yamen saw him respectfully.The hot pot was made by the sixth prince, and it was extremely delicious, as if it was different from other foods. Those who work in the yamen, if anyone has never eaten hot pot, they would be ashamed to eat with their colleagues.

The servants in the yamen were very polite when they saw Qin Liu. If those big families outside ordered hot pot, if they could see Qin Liu deliver it in person, they would have to open the door to welcome them, which was very solemn.

In this way, Qin Liu only felt that it was very useful, and even restrained the meritorious disciples under his command, telling them not to make mistakes for him, so that his good reputation would be spread farther.

"My lord's words mean..." Qin Liu hurriedly asked.

"Jia's family." Yan Xun briefly recounted what happened today, and said, "This piece of land is a gift from the emperor."

The Jia family can trouble Yan Xun, but they shouldn't use this piece of land as an excuse, after all, it was the emperor who gave it to Yan Xun.This matter is very reasonable. If the Jia family's IOUs are not paid off, they cannot dominate the land. What's more, Jia Buzhen can't get out of trouble, and he doesn't want to work under Qin Liu, which makes the emperor hate him.

"Thank you, sir." Qin Liu came to his senses and hurried away.

Although he is not good enough to get too close to these aristocratic families as a prince, but this time suppressing the Jia family is to protect the emperor's face. Qin Liu's step is right and good.

When the emperor found out about this, he really rewarded him, and even Qin Liu's mother and concubine got Yulu along with him.

From then on, the Jia family didn't dare to make trouble again, so Yan Xun led the cubs to work in peace.

After the foundation was dug, a few blocks were built with cement, and there was water near the river, so one floor could be built almost in a day. In a few days, a small three-story building was built.

The windows did not use glass, they were all pasted with paper. The first floor was covered with kangs, and the rooms on the upper two floors were exactly the same. Each room had a window, and there were beds, tables, and benches inside.

Yan Xun led the cubs to live in, and the working men also lived in one room.

"I didn't dare to enter such a nice house. I didn't even dare to think about it before." Sun Yuanbao said honestly, "Brother Chen, do you live with me and your father, or with your lord?"

"I want to live with my lord." Sun Chen'er said crisply.

"Haha, that's good." Sun Yuanbao laughed loudly, so that he could work harder with the child's father, and maybe he could conceive again.

Seeing that Sun Yuanbao's family moved in, the men nearby boiled hot water quickly, took a hot bath, washed their hands and feet clean, put their dirty shoes outside, and then moved in.

If so, all of them are much cleaner.

A furnace cellar was built not far from the cement building, and there was no shelter outside, so anyone could see it.There is nothing secret about the ore used to burn cement, but the iron slag left over from the iron ore smelting, everyone knows what it is, but the heat cannot reach it, but not everyone can burn it, only the flame cubs Just do it.

The crushed powder was sent into the furnace cellar, and the flame cubs stood beside it, the heat inside gradually increased, and it was fiery red.

After a while, the burnt cement was shipped out.

There is nothing unusual about iron smelting. It is different from ordinary blacksmiths who use thousands of hammers to smelt iron. The little cubs directly throw the ore into the furnace cellar, and the flame cubs help heat it up.

Both of his ears are in the shape of flames, which can be seen from a distance when they are not covered.

The men in Sunjia Village glanced at the flame cubs while they were working, and a tall and thick man spat hard, lifted the big rock vigorously, and said, "I knew those cubs were so powerful, no matter what I won't scold them at all."

"Monsters and monsters are the same. The monsters that eat people should be killed, and the other...you can't kill them all with a stick..."

"The emperor is wise and allowed the cubs sent by the demon country as hostages."

"The adults are the real ones..." Sun Yuanbao said honestly, "The skills those little cubs learned were all taught by the adults."

The men's voices were not loud, but the cubs could hear them clearly, no matter how good their ears were.

The Flame Cub puffed up his chest, felt the heat of the iron mine inside very seriously, and said, "Add more fire."

"Okay." The little cub pulling the bellows hastened to speed up.

"It's done." The Flame Cub said suddenly.

"I'll do it." The black and white cub took a step forward, puffed up his cheeks, and a red tongue of flame flew out of the furnace, and was thrown straight into the air, and quickly solidified, turning into an iron bar of uniform thickness.

The working men saw it, and sighed again, "It's really amazing."
