With craftsmen who know how to make pottery, the kiln can start to act.Anxi also thought about the follow-up plan by the way. Porcelain, glass, and even cement can all be put on the agenda.

He didn't pay attention to the step-by-step process, and handed over all the materials he had prepared to Carpenter Wang, "From now on, you will be in charge of the kiln. These materials are all for you. You can experiment slowly and do what you can do." Whatever happens."

"My lord, I, I don't know how to read." Carpenter Wang said a little embarrassedly. His ancestors have been pottery burners for generations, and he has never read a few words.

Anxi frowned, this is difficult.

These materials are not only complicated in content, but also have many rare words, and some new words related to chemistry and physics in later generations, which may not exist in this world.

But if he was asked to explain to Carpenter Wang bit by bit, he didn't have so much time.

After thinking about it, Anxi gritted his teeth, took out a Xinhua dictionary at home, and tore off the cover and preface, "You take this to Old Man Li, and let him explain the contents to you. Tell him, this book It is my family's treasure, it is worth thousands of gold, it must be kept well, and no one else will know it."

"Yes, my lord." Carpenter Wang happily agreed. It seems that your lord really trusts him. He actually let him hand over such precious books.

"My lord, don't worry, I will definitely do it seriously and make it for you as soon as possible."

Carpenter Wang's family, and even his younger brother's family, have all moved into the new house.Living in such a house, the life is not to mention how beautiful it is, so he has a hundred hearts for the tasks assigned by Anxi.

I took the materials to find old man Li every day, thinking over and over again, thinking about how to make the finished product as soon as possible, so as to get the reward that the county magistrate said.

But obviously this matter is not so simple. In other words, from pottery firing to porcelain firing, it is not just a matter of looking at the information. Raw materials, proportions, firing techniques, temperature, etc. all need a little experimentation.

What's more, the information Anxi gave is not only this, but also cement and glass.

It looks the same on the surface, they are all fired, but first of all, the requirements of the cave dwelling are completely different, let alone other links, which must be done step by step.

This is not something that can be completed in two days, nor can it be done by Mr. Wang's family. Anxi is not in a hurry, let them go back to test slowly.

This was handed over to Carpenter Wang, and Anxi was busy preparing the caravan, which had been planned long ago.

This caravan was led by Qiao Liang, and 50 people were drawn to follow to protect the safety of the entourage.

These people are all armed and dressed in uniform, because after a period of training, they can deter many people in terms of aura.And after seeing the blood, they became more bloody, and there was determination in their eyes.

The main body of the caravan is composed of three people. One is Wang Wen, who is in charge of purchasing materials from the county government. He took a few of his subordinates to buy the materials that are currently in short supply in Hu County, such as grain, clothing, seeds, coal, poultry, etc. , The money used was copied from the house at the beginning.

And Zhang Xiaobing, who was more clever, also brought some people with him. The task was to sell the things in Hu County in exchange for money. The goods he sold were only soap for the time being.

In addition, he also secretly brought some sea salt, and if there is a chance, he can trade it privately with others.Of course, this is relatively secret, and most people don't know it.

In addition to these, Anxi also gave the two of them an additional task, which was to see if they could buy craftsmen along the road.

Although there are already craftsmen Wang, but this is not enough, it is better to have more.

In the end, there are other businessmen in Hu County. After Anxi eradicated some evil businessmen, there are not many people in Hu County who can do business, and among these people, there are even fewer people who are willing to follow the caravan. .

Picking and picking, Anxi selected three companies with good reputation and relatively good strength, and asked them to prepare their troops and go with them.

As for what they buy and sell, that's none of Anxi's business.

What he wanted was to develop the business in Hu County as soon as possible, so he wanted to take these businessmen along for a ride.

A few days later in the early morning, the caravan set off quietly.

Seeing the team of 100 people drifting away, Anxi was full of hope, wishing them all the best, especially Zhang Xiaobing's, as long as the soap can be sold, he can pay the workers wages.

With money, they can buy more daily necessities. In this way, Hu County can be regarded as revitalized.

……

Two months later, it was already the middle of winter, and there was heavy snow in Hu County. The severe cold weather made people daunted, but the county town of Hu County was extremely lively.

Especially the newly built main road is like another world, full of people.

The shops on both sides of the street opened their doors, selling cloth and clothes, salt, grain seeds and poultry, in addition to clay pots, pots and pans, farm tools, food and so on.

In addition to the shops, there are also stalls arranged on the street, and the rows are well planned. Anyone who pays three Wen can occupy a place here and sell some self-produced things.

A few days ago, all the workers who signed contracts with the county government got their wages.

It turns out that they not only get food for their work, but also get paid for their wages. However, the county government was also in difficulty before, and they had no money to pay, so they could only pay for food.

However, after the county magistrate punished the rich and corrupt officials, he stole a lot of money from their homes, and decided to pay the workers wages. According to the time and frequency of their work, everyone was paid three months' wages.

Holding the newly acquired large sum of money in their hands, the workers were very excited, it was really a lot of money!

They used to not be able to earn so much throughout the year, but this is only three months' wages, which is already much, and they still have a fourth month's wages that have not been paid yet.

As the wages were distributed to the common people, the market opened accordingly.

This time it's a big fair, and it will be held for five consecutive days. No matter if you are in the deep mountains and old forests in Hu County, you will have time to hear the news and rush over.

Moreover, in order to allow as many people as possible to participate, Anxi had been advertised a long time ago, so as soon as the market opened, many people immediately welcomed it.

After a difficult few months, they now need to fill the home with some much-needed items as soon as the wages come in.

Even if some people save money and don’t want to spend money, they still have to buy food. Now that wages are paid, whether food will continue to be distributed in the future is a big question.

Besides, so what if you send it, who doesn't want to save more at home, so you can feel at ease, right?

Now that the food problem has been settled, it is time to think about tomorrow. Therefore, the seeds cannot be saved, and the spring is still waiting to be planted.

With seeds, farm tools are also a necessity.

After all, it's all money that must be spent!

Forget it, the weather is so cold, no matter what, I have to stuff a thick dress for the elderly and children at home.With the earth kang, the home is warmer, but it is not possible to stay out of the house all winter, not to mention whether the children can bear it, and the elderly have to go out to work.

These days, who can afford to support the elderly who dare not do anything?

As long as you can move, in order to survive, you cannot stop.

In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, which is a big day of the year. In the past, it was fine if you didn’t have money, but now that you have money, you have to eat meat once, right?

If there is fish and meat during the New Year, there will be more than every year in the future!

This can never be saved.

Moreover, you have heard that there is still a lot of oil and salt to be sold this time. It is said that the county magistrate spent money to buy it from outside, and it is specially to solve the problem of the people in Hu County eating oil and salt. question.

Master Wang Wen said that the county magistrate does not make money this time, so he will sell it to the common people cheaply, and the more he sells, the greater the discount.

In other words, if you buy enough for one year at one time, you spend half a year's money, saving half of it!

Adhering to the principle that what you save is what you earn, most people decide that salt and oil cannot be saved.

In this case, the main street was already full of people on the first day of the fair.

In order to buy more things, anyone who is not stupid knows how to find a way to sell some of their own things, so when Anxi was shopping, he saw a lot of small things.

Reed mats, straw ropes, bamboo frame baskets, wooden tables, chairs and benches, and some eggs, pickles and the like.

Walking around, Anxi carried a basket full of items, all of which were food, such as candied haws, candied fruit, dried fruit, etc., which he had tasted and were not bad, and brought them back to Hui Niang's two children.

Speaking of it, although Hu County is poor, it also has a relatively long history. It may not be good in other aspects, but in terms of food, it has not lost anyone.

Therefore, no matter which stall you eat, the taste is not bad, especially the pickles and preserved fruits, which taste so mouthwatering that people can't help but taste it again and again.

Carrying a bag of candied fruit, Anxi don't go shopping while eating, because the people around him didn't notice that this leisurely stroller was actually their magistrate.

Until, they ran into Hui Niang, mother and son.

Anxi was surprised. She never thought that Hui Niang, who always pays attention to staying out of the door, would take the children out for shopping?

When Hui Niang saw Anxi, she smiled embarrassedly, "I can't help being troubled by the children."

Of course, this is only part of the reason. If it was the past, she would not agree to the children's troubles again. It's just that she has been the manager of the soap shop for a few months, and her thoughts have changed a lot unconsciously.

Especially after staying with those women for a long time, she also felt that it was no big deal to go out.And she also brought her servants, not really just going out alone.

Anxi smiled and nodded, "Kids, they like to be lively, so it's not bad to come out to play."

As he spoke, he took the two children who were being held by the servants, one in each hand.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a family of four going shopping, the father is holding the child, and the mother is picking things to buy.They talked and laughed from time to time, having fun.
