Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

When several villagers in Donglin County heard this questioning, none of them dared to speak, and they were naturally afraid.

But compared to the adults who came from the imperial court in Shunhe Mansion, they don't know the background, and they have a higher probability of being taken in if they go to Cang'er County.

"There is an epidemic in Donglin County. You may also have the disease when you come from Donglin County. People are not allowed in Cang'er County. If you don't want to leave, you can stay nearby, but you must not go near the place where soldiers are active." Shen Yiran got off Decision-making, in any case, it is impossible for people to put it in.

"My lord, we haven't eaten for a long time. If you don't let us enter the county, can you give us something to eat?" The young man asked for the next best thing.

Shen Yiran pointed to the wooden house a little far away, "You can live there temporarily, there is food in it."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." After thanking the villagers repeatedly, they rushed to the wooden house, looking as if they had been hungry for a long time and hadn't eaten.

The surrounding soldiers looked at it with a bit of pity in their eyes. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is the common people who suffer.

"Boss, that's not the place the county magistrate said would be used as a quarantine place for people with fever, what should we do after it's used by them?" Yang Manlou asked.

"Since they may be carrying the disease, they can be regarded as meeting the supervision requirements." When they live there, they can also observe the situation at any time. If these people are allowed to move around at will, they will try their best to turn into the mountains in order to survive. If they entered the county from some corner of the mountain while they were not paying attention, the consequences would be immeasurable.

"Boss, you are right." Yang Manlou looked over there with his hips akimbo, "I am afraid that the food left by the county magistrate is not enough for them to eat."

"Shunhe Mansion will soon have a batch of grain coming to the county, and now the county can still produce this amount of grain." That's what Shen Yiran said, but these people came from Donglin County.

The food for disaster relief in Donglin County should have arrived long ago. The local officials should have distributed the food to the people. If there was food, these villagers could not escape without taking it with them, but there was indeed no trace of food in their bags just now.

Could it be that the magistrate of Donglin County even ordered the relief food without permission?

Shen Yiran had doubts in his heart, so he planned to send a letter to Prime Minister Yan to ask.

-

On the second day of the new year, Cang'er County resumed work outside the city. The food delivered by Shunhe Prefecture was delivered to the county on the first day of the new year. The timing was just right. After compensation to each village and household, there was still a lot of this batch of food left.

Tang Zisheng knew that there must be his father-in-law's handwriting in it. Apart from Xizhou's eyeliner, this was the second generous gift. It not only solved his urgent need, but also allowed Cang'er County to stay out of all the disasters in Shunhe Prefecture.

Tang Zisheng felt a little ashamed of the two generous gifts in a row. He hadn't given anything to Prime Minister Yan yet. If you had to count, he probably only gave the IOU he gave to the general. Three generous gifts.

"Master Tang." Qin Changyuan was on patrol, saw Tang Zisheng approaching and greeted him.

"Qin Tutou doesn't need to be polite, I just came to see the construction situation."

Qin Changyuan understood the situation, and spontaneously explained the current situation to Tang Zisheng, "The part of the city wall that was built before was also flooded, and work resumes today. These craftsmen are inspecting the part that was built before."

"Is there a problem?" Using glutinous rice water as an adhesive, Tang Zisheng believed that the flood this time could not help the city wall here. If it wasn't for the short period of time to build the wall, Tang Zisheng would not even There is no need to ask questions.

"No problem has been found so far."

"That's good." After Tang Zisheng inspected the construction site, he went to Shitou Village. Speaking of the days of flooding, other villagers were in panic. Only Tang Zisheng in Shitou Village arranged for the carpenters and masons. Task.

There is no rush to build a house in the outer city. Tang Zisheng had thought about getting a bicycle before. The parts of a bicycle can be divided into body, handlebar, pedals, chain, seat, wheels and brakes. parts.

The car body, handlebars, pedals, etc. can be made of wood and bamboo, and there is no need to choose the wheels.After all, the trees that can be made into rubber are still overseas.

Now it is difficult for him to even get some high-yielding food seeds from overseas, let alone people bringing trees from across the ocean, and even if rubber is brought to Dayu, it is not a craft that can be molded in a short time, and rubber tires If you really want to get it out, you need to cheer it up. All kinds of troubles and difficulties are gathered together, and the wheels of this cart can only be made of bamboo and wood.

These skills are not too difficult for a carpenter. After all, the carriage has been around for many years, and the difficulty lies in the chain and brakes.

The structure of the chain driving the bicycle is very fine, with gears, bearings, and brakes. These layers are added together, which can make people think for a long time.

Originally, he thought that he could not produce an electric system or a car, so how could he still produce a low-carbon bicycle? It's over.

"My lord, the blueprint you gave us has tried a few times when we were sheltering from the water in the mountains. But the key is to make the working iron out of the blacksmith's side. What is made now is only a semi-finished product, which is useless."

The carpenters were a little ashamed as they spoke. They were all unconvinced when they saw the cement made by the masons. The wood craftsmanship was also passed down from their ancestors. This skill is no worse than that of the masons.

But these days, except for building a house and some strange households that need wood structures, Mr. Tang needs their help, and he doesn't give them any other work.

And those jobs are mostly dexterous changes with mortise and tenon joints, as long as people who are not carpenter's brains can do it, it's just a matter of sooner or later, and there is no challenge.

So after learning that Mr. Tang had assigned them the same car-making task, the carpenters who had read the design drawings and simple ideas all tried their best to prove it to Mr. Tang.

But no matter what, with their current craftsmanship, using wood to make the chains and gears that drive the wheels is a bit reluctant. It's not that fine work can't be done, but that wood wears out much faster than iron.

Moreover, the durability of wood is not better than that of iron. If wood is really used, this person will probably crack after riding on the bike for a long time.

The task entrusted to him by the county magistrate for the first time was not done well, and the carpenters were also upset.

"The blacksmith should not be free to do these crafts for the time being." Tang Zisheng only arranged for a carpenter and not a blacksmith, because the blacksmith is not free these days, and more than 1000 people in the barracks are waiting for weapons. The blacksmiths working in the iron mine are busy every day without touching the ground.

Even though he sent a lot of people over to help, he couldn't rest at all. Maybe he didn't have time to study on the bike side.

"Then we are researching in private, maybe we can use the feet off the ground without using iron." The carpenter did not chase after him, knowing that the blacksmiths are now making weapons and there is no delay.

However, they will not stop researching on bicycles. When they heard Mr. Tang describe this kind of bicycle behavior pattern, they knew that if they could really build it, it would be much faster than pulling a cart with animals.

Coupled with the concrete road created by Mr. Tang, this bicycle will be more unimpeded. No matter how difficult the production process is, as long as it can be made and placed on the street, I don’t know how many wealthy businessmen will spend a lot of money to buy one. Eating the county magistrate's salary for nothing.

"Just try your best, don't force it. If you really need the blacksmith's help, wait until the blacksmith is done working. You can go to them. In the meantime, you can also try to make other things I mentioned. After all, you will need them in the future. Don't be in a hurry. "

Tang Zisheng knew the research enthusiasm of these carpenters.It is a pity that his world history is not very good, and he has not paid special attention to the birth process of bicycles and the specific production process.

Now that I can draw it based on the seals I have used, it can be said that the shape and function have reached their limit in general terms.

However, human wisdom is infinite, and it may not be possible for him to propose these things now, but there is no guarantee that no one will do it in the future.

"Yes, my lord." The carpenters retreated full of thoughts. They still have few tasks, that is, after the houses in the outer city are built in the future, they need to match all kinds of fresh furniture. Compared with the bunk beds they built for the barracks before It's a little more complicated.

Originally, they were supposed to get down to work after getting these blueprints, but who cares about furniture when they have bicycles.

Tang Zisheng looked at the craftsmen who were about to be enchanted, and felt a little headache, so he had to go to Mo Yansheng, "Look at them, don't let them get stuck if they can't make it for a while."

"My lord, I can't stop it. Don't talk about them, even if I saw the potatoes you brought over, my lord, and after talking about his yield per mu, I can't wait to stay in the field every day to watch the potatoes grow."

"The growth period of potatoes is about [-] to [-] days. If you squat in the ground every day, the potatoes may not be ripe yet, and you have to be cooked by the sun first." Now the severe winter is not a good time to grow potatoes. They haven't landed yet.

"Not at all, and besides potatoes, you have two other crops. In the next six months, I should focus on these crops. If they are willing to study them, let them do it. Nothing will go wrong."

It is a great honor to witness the crops with a yield of more than a thousand catties per mu grow from his hands.

"That's right, but it's a pity that the previous sweet potatoes failed to survive due to the flood." At that time, the seedlings had grown out, and they must still survive when planted in the soil, but it's a pity that some seeds were lost.

"My lord still has the seeds in his hand, which shows that there were concerns about not being able to survive at that time. As long as we have seeds now, we can always let them continue to multiply. When the time comes to spread to various villages, the people in Cang'er County will no longer have to suffer from hunger. bitter."

"There will be such a day." Tang Zisheng narrowed his eyes, such a day would not be too far away.

-

"Qingcheng, apart from vomiting, dizziness and weakness, the patient with high fever today may have other problems."

After Dr. Xu received Tang Zisheng's report of a patient with high fever symptoms at Guankoukou, he hurriedly brought Qingcheng and a few medicine apprentices over. He was afraid that the patient's condition would worsen if he came late, and he would be helpless.

"No, I took a dose of medicine in the morning, and the fever subsided a bit. But in the afternoon, the fever came back, and it was even more severe than before." Xu Qingcheng looked at the case record in his hand, and said the condition of the patient in front of him. Changes in condition.

"It doesn't make sense for the high fever to come back again." Dr. Xu considered the prescription in his pen, "I have to go in and check the patient's pulse."

Speaking of which, Dr. Xu changed into the clothes fumigated with white vinegar, put on a hat on his head, put a face towel on his mouth, and wore a sachet of medicinal materials for epidemic prevention, and went to the wooden house inside.

As the pulse recorder, Xu Qingcheng also followed in. This was not the first time he came in. There were three patients with fever in the room.

Hearing from brother Shen that he came to Cang'er County on the [-]th day of the new year, he rested in the wooden house, and two people developed a high fever the next day, and the other people who accompanied him did not dare to hide it and reported it, so he and his master rushed to come over.

But in just two days, the disease has developed unexpectedly rapidly, which shows that this epidemic is coming fiercely.

If it weren't for Zisheng's anti-epidemic measures for the inspecting officers and soldiers here before, the soldiers here don't know how many people would be recruited.

But far away from Cang'er County, the epidemic has only passed less than ten days, and dozens of people have died.
