Su Mo said, "I don't believe this."

While talking, the two arrived. It was a small courtyard. Although it looked a bit shabby in Yuncheng, it was kept very tidy by the master.

When they were welcomed by Xiaotong, Zhu Xiucai was still leisurely sitting under a peach tree in the yard playing chess.

Although Zhu Xiucai was in his early forties, he didn't look old, he was thin and elegant, with piercing eyes, and he looked upright in a green dress.

After a ceremony, the three of them sat down in priority, and the boy withdrew after serving tea and snacks.

To be honest, after listening to Shopkeeper Fang's words, Su Mo had an image of a depressed middle-aged man in his heart.

But after seeing the real person, Su Mo realized that he was narrow-minded.

Zhu Xiucai is definitely not the kind of person who will be depressed and depressed when he fails in his career. On the contrary, he is the kind of person who will always find some fun for himself within his ability.

Such a person is very determined, Su Mo is naturally satisfied.

The two parties chatted for a while, and both were quite satisfied. The two sides negotiated and made an appointment, and then Su Mo said goodbye and left.

Back in the village, Su Mo told the village head the good news, and the village head was very happy.

He happily sent Su Mo away, and hurriedly recruited people to clean out the repaired school, making sure that the husband lived happily and comfortably.

Several old men in the village took this matter very seriously, and warned those who are looking for trouble very seriously. In the future, if there is nothing to do, keep your mouth shut, and it is useless to say less.

After some beatings, they let everyone leave.

The villagers were still looking forward to what happened to the husband, and one by one returned home, wringing out their own boys again, and pulling their ears to warn.In short, after entering the school, you have to listen to your teacher, and if you are mischievous again, you will be served with fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots.

On the day Mr. Zhu came, people from the whole village came out to greet him. The village head had arranged a banquet at home early, as a welcome for Mr. Zhu, and invited the elders of the village and Zhuo Yan to accompany him.

In this way, Mr. Zhu officially became the teacher of Shanghegou Academy.

When Mr. Zhu came, he brought two rough envoys with him. In the school, Mr. Zhu lived in one room, and the two servants lived in one room. The rest became the school.

In order to show respect, some villagers in the village spontaneously sent rice, noodles and vegetables to Mr. Zhu, but Mr. Zhu politely refused.

Classes are also formally taught.

Wang You also went to school with the children in the village.

The rules in the village are not so big. After obtaining the consent of Mr. Zhu, Wang You was qualified to attend school.

The child was very happy, and he chatted with Aunt Wang non-stop when he got home.

Aunt Wang pulled him to kneel in front of Su Mo, thanking him again.

Wang You may not know what a slavery means to a person when she is young, but Aunt Wang knows, so she is really grateful to Su Mo.

A month later, the sugar factory was built.

The sugar factory is very large, with a large yard outside, only one entrance and exit, and a 24-hour guard is arranged at the gate.After entering the gate, there is a row of two-story workers' dormitories on the opposite side, and the factory building behind it.

Although the back of the factory building was not far from the mountain stream, Su Mo asked someone to dig a well in the yard just in case.

As for the first batch of sugar factory workers, Su Mo still chose to use retired soldiers. After these people also passed the training, they slowly took up their posts.

These people are highly loyal and disciplined, and the production of caramel is a secret, so it is most suitable to use them.

The villagers in the village, he will also selectively use some people in the future.After other shops gradually opened up in the future, he would also select some talented young people from the village to learn how to make handmade sugar, and he would arrange to work as sugar makers in the shop in the future.

However, due to time constraints, he has to take it slow for the time being. He also talked to the village chief about this issue, which gave him a bottom line and reassured him at the same time.

He also knew that during this period of time, many people went to the village head to test things out. Seeing that Su Mo had built such a large workshop, but did not invite people from their village to work, they had some opinions inside and outside the words.

All these made the village chief block him, and Su Mo was also grateful.

The two women who cook for the craftsmen, Su Mo thinks they are pretty good people, so he plans to ask them to cook for the workers in the sugar factory for a long time, just like Li Liniang and the others, they will be paid [-] Wen per month.

The two women were very happy.

The sugar factory started to operate, and the amount of caramel gradually increased. After the shipments kept up, there was no limit to the daily sales in the store.

But in this way, disadvantages also appeared. The main reason is that the roads in the village are too difficult to walk, not to mention the potholes, and they are all dirt roads.

It's okay on sunny days, but when it rains, the ground is covered with mud, and the ground is covered with mud when you step on it. When the bullock cart drives past, it is also covered in spots.

Therefore, when it is sunny, we supply goods to the store, and rest on rainy days.

In the past, there was only one store in the town, and the supply volume was not large, and it was nothing to deliver once a few days.But now there are three stores, and after the limited sales have been canceled, the daily demand has greatly increased.

In this way, it will suffer when it rains.

There are only three stores like this now, and the business will only grow bigger and bigger in the future, and there will only be more and more vehicles going to and from Shanghegou every day.

This will inevitably affect the travel of goods. There are only three stores now, and they can still handle it.

So there is no delay in building roads.

Zhuo Yan looked at him, "This is not a small project."

If you want smooth roads and no mud in rainy days, you can only pave them with bricks like the official roads in the city. This is not a big project.

So Zhuo Yan disagreed.

After he mentioned it, Su Mo also thought of it, and he laughed, "I don't need to pave the road with bricks, I have another way, it's not troublesome, and the amount of work is not too big."

Zhuo Yan didn't feel very happy when he heard Su Mo's words. Instead, he looked at him seriously, and after a while, he said seriously, "Ah Mo, Qing is not guilty at all, but he is guilty of pregnant Bi."

Su Mo was stunned, and realized that Zhuo Yan was worried about him, and at the same time warned him not to show his sharpness too much, for fear that he would be killed by it.

He smiled and hugged him from behind, "Don't worry, this method is very simple, I don't need to do anything specially, just use my words."

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Zhuo Yan felt relieved seeing him say that.

To build a road, such a big matter, must be told to the village.

The village chief didn't speak for a long time. He sat on the stool and weaved the dustpan. He moved very quickly, but he made several mistakes, and he didn't even notice that his hand was cut.

It was Su Mo who called him several times before raising his head, but he no longer had the mind to weave anything. He put the work on the ground aside and went back to the house to press the wound with plant ash.

After coming back and sitting down, he asked again, "Brother Mo, you said you want to repair this road? Go all the way to the main road?"

"I have this idea, why don't you come and discuss it with your uncle?"

The village head looked at Su Mo and reminded, "Brother Mo, this is not a trivial matter, you should think it through!"

"I know." Su Mo said, "Village Chief, to tell you the truth, after my sugar factory was built, more and more vehicles came and went, but this road became a big problem. Now that the road is repaired, it will be more convenient for the folks in the village to travel in the future. I will pay for the road repair alone, but I also hope that everyone can contribute, after all, I will not be the only one who will benefit from the repair of the road in the future."

"That's the reason." The village head thought it was not a big problem.

"In addition, because the road ahead will pass through the two villages outside, I would like to ask the village chief to talk about it, so that there will be no problems at that time."

The village head said, "What's the problem with helping them build the road?"

Su Mo said, "It's better to talk about it first, so as not to talk about it when it's time, and make everyone look ugly."

Su Mo has seen that there are a lot of troubles for road construction in modern times, and it is better to solve the problems from the beginning than to have problems here and there.

Seeing his insistence, although the village chief felt that it was unnecessary, he still made a trip in person and visited the village chiefs of the other two villages one by one.

Because Shanghegou is at the innermost part, the road construction must pass through the two villages in front of it. The village chief explained the situation one by one. These people thought that someone could repair the road, and they all agreed.

And after going back, he specially warned the villagers, if you have anything to say, just mention it, and don't make any fools when the time comes.

Fortunately, the country people are still simple and simple. When they heard that someone built the road, it would be convenient for them to come and go in the future.

After the communication, Su Mo invited old man Shi and his party to build the road.

The roads of this era, except for the official roads in the city, the official roads outside the city are all rammed with soil, but because the government maintains it regularly, it is okay.

Since it is impossible to use long bricks to pave the road, Su Mo thought of Sanhe soil.

Sanhe soil is mainly made of clay, slaked lime and sand, which is compacted in layers and has a certain strength and water resistance. It is mostly used for the foundation of buildings or pavement cushions.

But each generation has a different recipe.

In ancient times when there was no cement, triadic clay played a great role and had a wide range of uses.

To put it bluntly, "three composite soil" is a kind of concrete with lime and loess or other pozzolanic materials as cementing materials, and fine sand, crushed stone or slag as filler.

Su Mo immediately thought of this, and it just so happens that these things are not unusual in Daqi.

After getting the formula, old man Shi left overjoyed, and took a few apprentices with him to study the ratio.

Su Mo provided the formula. It is not difficult to compare this thing, and it was researched within a few days.

After the start of work, the villagers remembered Su Mo's goodness, finished their home affairs, and came to help build the road when they had nothing to do.

The so-called more people are more powerful, and the construction is carried out on the original road, so the speed of getting down is very fast.After two months of repairs like this, a flat road was repaired.All the way from the sugar factory to the road.

On the day when the completion of the project was announced, all the old and young people in the entire Shanghegou walked out of their homes. They had never seen such a flat road before, and they were very rare. They stepped on it carefully. At the beginning, they even tried it. trampled.

Later, when they saw that it would not be damaged no matter how they were stepped on, they all stepped on it, and the children ran wildly and laughed on it.

The adults are also overjoyed.

The village head also asked someone to find a big stone from the mountain and set it up on the side of the road. He also specially asked Mr. Zhu to write on it, and got a stonemason to carve it, saying that he would leave it for future generations.They also engraved the names of Zhuo Yan and Su Mo on it. Su Mo refused several times, but it was useless, so he had to go with the village chief.

The roads in the village have been repaired, the children go to school every day, and the young people have a way out again. Everyone is happy and feels that they have finally been proud of themselves in several villages, and even walking is windy.
