Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong smiled and said, "Fan."

To be honest, Xiao Zirong didn't intend to bother with these things originally, and things like fans should not be included in the basic livelihood.

Although fans have existed for a long time in Chinese history, they were used by nobles and wealthy households, and it took many years for later generations to spread to common people in Shuri.

However, he found that if he didn't find something for the three sisters of the Zhai family to do, they would have no source of earning points. How could this work?

He not only wants to treat the first artist well, but also wants the three sisters Zhai Xi to become a benchmark, let everyone know that it is useful to be willing to study and study hard. There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, um, Yan Ruyu... No one stipulated that it must be a woman.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the three sisters of the Zhai family get higher points than others, so let them do it. Anyway, the balance of the point system is still under control, and it is nothing to let one or two people get more.

Zhai Xi carefully looked at the overall picture, and then looked at the split, and found that it is not particularly difficult, mainly because of the runner in the middle, but the runner, they had some experience in making the keel waterwheel before. , although not exactly the same, but similar.

Xiao Zirong didn't give her a rule on how long it would take to make it, as long as it could be done anyway.

However, making things is obviously more interesting than reading books. Xiao Zirong was waiting for the three sisters of the Zhai family to come over and ask him questions, but he didn't come after waiting for a long time. When he passed by, he found that the three of them were discussing around a pile of parts. What.

Xiao Zirong was startled, it's only been a few days, the fan is ready now?

Is it really fun to do everything except study?Xiao Zirong walked over to take a look, and found that they were almost done, and this time they still used bamboo.

I have to say that many of the things they are making now use bamboo as the material. The main reason is that bamboo grows fast, is easy to cut down, has good toughness, and is relatively easy to process. It is very suitable for first-hand work when the tool is not right.

However, they used a lot of bamboo recently, and Xiao Zirong was a little worried that the bamboo on the surrounding mountains would not be enough for them.

The three sisters of the Zhai family discussed very seriously, and they didn't notice Xiao Zirong coming at all. Xiao Zirong squatted aside and listened for a long time, and found that Zhai Xi was not only making things, but also taking this opportunity to teach the younger sisters some relatively simple knowledge. This can barely be regarded as entertaining.

After Xiao Zirong paused for a while, he decided not to say anything, anyway, after the fan was done, he asked the three sisters to study hard!

When Xiao Zirong left from them, he felt as if someone was watching him, and when he turned his head, he found a few young ladies who had come back from the fields talking there.

He hesitated for a moment and didn't care what these people said, but when he saw Liu Cainiang when he went back, he asked, "Is there anything special about the things you've been discussing these days?"

Liu Cainiang turned to look at him and asked, "What do you mean special?"

Xiao Zirong thought about it for a while and said, "I value the three sisters of the Zhai family more recently. Do you feel unhappy?"

Liu Cainiang had a strange expression after hearing this: "You know?"

Xiao Zirong paused: "Really?"

He was just guessing before, mainly because he got too close to the three sisters of the Zhai family recently. At first, there were only Liu Cainiang and Ayin Aman by his side, and later Baiyan was added. These people all assisted him in various things. And the three sisters of the Zhai family were soaring into the sky, Xiao Zirong was worried that there would be some rumors that were not good for them.

Although they are not big here and there are not many people, Xiao Zirong knows the truth of the matter very well in his heart, and it will not cause particularly irreparable consequences, but he still does not want the three sisters of the Zhai family to be affected by this.

Liu Cainiang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry about the city owner, it's nothing special, but everyone thinks the three of them... are very pitiful..."

"Huh?" Xiao Zirong was a little surprised: "Poor? Why are you pitiful?"

Liu Cainiang said in a low voice: "In the beginning, everyone was a little bit unconvinced that your sisters were highly valued by you, but later they found out that you were among the Zhai family sisters, and then let them go to school. Everyone felt that it is better not to have such respect."

Xiao Zirong: ...

Co-authors, do you sympathize with others because of this?

Xiao Zirong was about to be laughed at by these scumbags. He didn't say anything, but he had already decided in his heart that he would hold a literacy class sooner or later. The most during the rainy season was to let everyone know a few words and write their own names. , being able to understand the score record is nothing more than illiterate.

After the autumn harvest, the literacy class will continue to run, well, then the three sisters of the Zhai family can teach them!

The scumbags don’t know that their future has already been arranged, and now everyone is busy tending the fields, looking at the thriving seedlings every day and feeling happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Only after losing can we know how to cherish, so although it is normal for a team of more than [-] people to have friction, in fact, since the beginning of the busy farming season, they have no time to care about those trivial things.

And Xiao Zirong has also entered a relatively worry-free period. A lot of preparation work has been done now, and the rest is to wait for the autumn harvest.

In this process, he only needs to prepare the granary according to the amount of arable land everyone planted, and the most important thing for their granary here is to pay attention to moisture and insects.So Xiao Zirong directly built the foundation of the granary a little higher, and at the same time painted a thick layer of lime mortar inside, sprinkled a thick layer of shell powder, and put realgar on the four corners.

After the granary is ready, the first thing to put in is not grain but bags of salt.

After the amount of salt that was urgently needed at the beginning was sufficient, Xiao Zirong reduced the progress of salt production. After all, it was useless to consume more.

And even if they sell salt at the beginning, they can't sell too much, and they won't even bring too much. If someone finds that they have a cart full of salt, isn't it a robbery?

Besides the salt, they'd better be selling something that won't go unnoticed but still make money.

This Xiao Zirong needs to think about it. The bamboo fan is indeed a good thing, but the price is not clear. The most important thing is that Liangxiang County does not sell this product at all. Xiao Zirong has no way to comment on their products. Make a valuation.

In order to make money, Xiao Zirong went bald every day. Liu Cainiang looked at him writing and drawing on paper, which seemed to be related to money, and said strangely: "What is the city lord worrying about? The first wave of vegetables has already been harvested. Wait for the grain to be harvested." At that time, we were self-sufficient, and now the chickens and ducks have grown up and started to hatch more chickens and ducks, no matter how you look at it, we don’t need too much money.”

Xiao Zirong glanced at her and explained patiently: "That's not what I said. You see, we lack a lot of things. First of all, the utensils we use now are either wood or pottery, especially farm tools. Everyone now uses stones. , although it doesn’t look difficult to use, but it’s not as good as bronze or iron. We’re far behind in terms of metals. There are also herbal medicines. Now when everyone is sick, they just take the simplest treatment, and the rest is all up to fate. , How can this work? But now we can’t afford to grow herbs, so we need to prepare some first, as well as clothing... Can’t we wear such thin clothes in winter? Do you think it will cost money?”

Liu Cainiang's head got dizzy when she heard it, and she quickly said: "The city lord doesn't have to be so thoughtful. When we were in the bandit village, our life was not as good as it is now. Isn't it okay if we don't have anything?"

Xiao Zirong shook his head: "That can't be done, I'm not those robbers, and the days have to get better to make people hopeful, otherwise, if it's the same as before, then what are you all working so hard to come to this place? Woolen cloth?"

Liu Cainiang had to admit that what Xiao Zirong said was right, and it was precisely because what Xiao Zirong did was obvious to all, and they could see that they would live better if they continued, that's why everyone didn't think about running away, otherwise, I'm afraid someone would have done it for her. Survival ran away.

But Liu Cainiang couldn't see him working so hard, so she said, "That's the same thing, just focus on the important ones first, such as winter clothes and so on. As for the farm tools, there is still time to prepare them in the next spring."

Xiao Zirong thought so too, he wanted to get everything ready, but the problem is that there is no such condition now.

He said casually: "I'm just writing a plan now, and I'm afraid I won't have time after a while."

After hearing this, Liu Cainiang immediately lifted her spirits: "Is Your Highness going to get something new?"

Xiao Zirong asked: "Do you still remember that I asked someone to plant some soybeans?"

Liu Cainiang nodded: "I remember, I was wondering at the time that the yield of soybeans was not high, so why are you planting this, City Lord?"

The so-called soybean yield is not high compared to yellow rice and rice. Not to mention yellow rice, rice can grow double-cropping rice here. It matures twice a year. Whether it is good or not is another matter, but it can definitely Fill the stomach.

This is also the reason why everyone didn't worry about it when it was past spring when they came out. However, the soybeans here can only grow summer beans, which is only one season a year, so the output is relatively not very rich.

Xiao Zirong smiled mysteriously: "We'll know when the time comes, um, I'll let Zhai Xi and the others prepare things later."

After Xiao Zirong finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel funny. He felt that the three sisters of the Zhai family were now equivalent to the "Ministry of Industry" of the city mansion, and they had to go to them for anything that needed to be done.

The more Liu Cainiang listened, the more curious she became. She really wanted to know what Xiao Zirong was thinking. Just as she was about to ask, she heard A Yin's cheerful voice from outside: "City Lord, City Lord, something big happened."
