No matter what Shen Yu planned in his heart, the first thing he decided was to build the road first. He was really fed up with this road that could blow his ass upside down.

Shen Yu still plans to build a new workshop. Although there are 24 workshops in the past, only seven are occupied, and there are still [-] usable. If it is only for making soap and washing powder, it is completely enough.But the workshop still needs to be kept secret, so they can't be mixed together.

The money has not been earned yet, and the silver has to be taken out again, what does Shen Yu think, why is it so frustrating!

In addition, the layout of the workshop is different from that of the workshop, so it has to be re-planned.

No, Shen Yu thought of the task of the previous system, which was obviously to build a modern factory, but he changed the design halfway, added some more compartments, and it became what it is now.

In this way, wouldn't the previous drawings still be usable now?

Shen Yu made a rough calculation, repairing cement roads, repairing factories, and living in dormitories. In this way, the cost of the factory and dormitory is more than 1000 taels of silver. I don’t know the price of cement. without flowers.

Ugh

"What are you sighing for? You are young, be careful to sigh and sigh for old age."

"Money, I really don't need to spend it. I thought about it. It is estimated that the repair of factories, dormitories, and cement roads will add up to 2000 taels of silver. The money will be spent before I see the shadow."

Mu Jing searched his head amusedly, "Don't you still have more than 7000 taels? What are you worried about? Or are you not confident in opening a workshop and are afraid that you won't be able to pay back?"

Shen Yu has 100% confidence in getting back the capital, "I am confident that I can make money."

"That's good. If you can't pay back this year, after two years, it will always work, right?"

"It won't take two years." Shen Yu was very confident.

"It won't be long, let's go, don't you mean to go to the county to ask Mr. Huang about the price of cement?"

"Yes, let's go."

Shen Yu was bumped again on the road, so no matter what he thinks now?They all decided to paint the cement road first, even if the cement is more expensive, it doesn't matter.

As a result, when we arrived in the county, the price given by Mr. Huang was very affordable, one hundred yuan per load, and the weight of cement was quite heavy, about 100 catties per load.

It sounds cheap, but in reality, it is not cheap at all, but a bit expensive.

In general, it takes about 100 tons of cement to build a 5-square-meter workshop. He is still the same as before, and he needs 5000 tons of cement to build a 250-square-meter workshop, which means 250 taels.

Green bricks and tiles are also needed...then they can be replaced with floor slabs, and it is completely possible to build a two-story factory, or even a three-story factory.

Therefore, Shen Yu raised the issue of floor slabs with Master Huang, and he also told Master Huang about the large-scale production method of the floor slabs, saying that he was going to buy a batch of floor slabs and prepare to practice the second floor.

In the beginning, Master Huang was busy with other things, but after thinking about it carefully, this is a business opportunity!Cement is available in every county, but floor slabs are not necessarily so. It is a unique thing in Donglin County.

Now, Master Huang looked at Shen Yu in the wrong way, and he finally realized why his master was so polite to this kid before, just like the God of Wealth, and he still didn't hide his secrets.

Master Huang on the front foot still said in his heart that Shen Yu was not hiding anything, but Shen Yu on the back foot thought about secretly digging river sand.

At this time, there is still no river sand for sale. If Shen Yu wants to use river sand, he can hire someone to dig it himself.It just so happened that the river on Shen Yu's side was not deep, and digging sand was better than buying sand, so they planned to hire someone to dig the river sand.

At this time, the small tricycle built in the workshop came in handy. This kind of car relies entirely on manpower. If you have good physical strength, you can run seven or eight times a day. Fortunately, their ox cart and donkey cart add up to four Five vehicles were transported for half a month, and Shen Yu had to dig up enough river sand to repair the factory.

However, road repair is not enough.

Shen Yu didn't hide the fact that Shen Yu wanted to build the road from others. Village head Shen soon found out that when he came, he scolded Shen Yu, "It's not that people from our village are walking that road, so why are only people from our village walking?" If you pay, Taoli Village in front, Liujiazhuang in front, Lizi'ao in front, and Jiudaokou in the back, none of their villages are richer than ours, no, I'll talk to them."

Did Shen Yu not understand what Uncle Shen meant?It's nothing more than the fact that he built the entire road for nothing, letting people from other villages take advantage of it, and he was not reconciled.

That's the way it is said, their location is really far from the town, how many villages are there in front of them?The distance from them to the town is shorter than that of Shen Village. If Shen Yuxiu, he can't keep the front part, and only use the back part to cement the road!

Shen Yu didn't care, but Old Man Shen, Uncle Shen and some old people in the village cared, so Shen Yu didn't care, let them go and talk, he still had to build a factory!

It was the same people who built the factory before. When Master Xu and his sons, apprentices and sons-in-law were invited by Shen Yu again, Master Xu was a little surprised. A factory was built just now, and now it is going to be built again.

To be honest, Master Xu kind of misses working under Shen Yu's hands. The amount of work is huge, and he has to work for several months without worrying about being out of work, and no one is watching them every day, for fear that they will move the boss's things home. Come on, the food is not bad.

This time, when he heard that he was looking for someone to repair the factory again, he came here immediately.

To repair the factory, the foundation must be laid first. When digging the sand from the river, Shen Yu asked the people in the village to do it.The land area is still about the same size as before. Once the two factories are built, there will be no open space in the previous hills. If Shen Yu wants to expand the factory in the future, he can only change to another place.

The drawings are still the original ones, and Shen Yu has no time limit this time, so he will leave them all to Master Xu and the others.

The speed of building a house is slower, but it is more convenient to use cement and sand as a binder than boiling glutinous rice juice. As long as there is water, there is no need for firewood, and there is a cafeteria next to it, and there is even a place to eat and sleep. , this time is not only a little bit or two more convenient than last time.

Building a house with floor slabs has a somewhat different structure, but for craftsmen who are used to masonry work, these are actually not a problem.

Before the workshop was completed, Aunt Hua gave him the good news that the hand spinning machine was built.In fact, it was made some time ago, but the yarn was not good.So Auntie Hua made it again, which is considered an improvement, and can produce a catty and a half of yarn a day.

But Shen Yu knew that Mrs. Shen spun thread at home, at most three taels a day, and she didn't have four taels. Now she can produce a catty and a half a day, so if his mother knows, won't she be crazy?

Shen Yu shook his head, he asked Aunt Hua to make another one, and took this one to Shopkeeper Hu, it was good, but it had a lot of sequelae.A family with a spinning machine can spin more than five times more than other people in a year.

But he doesn't care about these things, and it won't be so fast when this matter breaks out, and there will be a way.

Uncle Shen has also discussed the matter of road construction. The section from Jiudaokou will be shared equally by the five villages, and then the section from Lizi’ao to Jiudaokou will be divided equally by the remaining four villages, and then from Taoli Village to Lizi’ao. The section from Shencun, Taoli Village and Liujiazhuang is divided into three villages, and the section from Taoli Village to Liujiazhuang is divided into Liujiazhuang and Shencun.The rest is for the Shen family to do it themselves.

Shen Yu found it troublesome when he thought about it. He didn't know how to argue in the future, so he might as well just hit him from the beginning.

In any case, the road still had to be worked on.

Shen Yu should be glad that there are no big cars at the moment, so don't worry too much about the load-bearing problem of the road. Ten centimeters of cement road is enough.

It is said that it is a cement road, but it is actually stones mixed with river sand and then mixed with cement. The whole road is calculated, and the total cost is not much. Counting the cost of the road, in the end there is nothing to argue about.

It has been ten days since the twelfth lunar month after the road was repaired. This is the third year that Shen Yu has lived here.

Shen Yu plans to make a good purchase for the New Year, bacon and sausage are essential, rice flower fish, pickled fish are also ready, air-dried chicken, Mu Jing has also prepared it long ago.

"Mu Jing, let's make cured duck!"

Mu Jing thought that the bacon made by Shen Yu was delicious, and now when Shen Yu talked about the bacon, he became interested, "Is it the same as making bacon?"

"Correct."

"Then let's do it! Let's go see if there are any ducks at Second Sister's place, and buy some."

It was an unfortunate coincidence that the county magistrate arrived as soon as Shen Yu and the others left.

This time he was not riding his little donkey, but the county magistrate's guard of honor.Seventh-rank county magistrate, no matter how small he is, he has a guard of honor.

The county magistrate came, this is not a trivial matter.

Besides, the county magistrate Chen went directly to Shen Yu's house as soon as he arrived, and everyone was confused.

"Don't you do something wrong? The county magistrate has come to arrest him himself."

One word awakened the dreamer, and the others also reacted.

Then he had a good brain and knowledge, and immediately retorted, "It's not like, didn't you just send two young men to arrest people in the past? Why bother the magistrate?"

When everyone heard it, they were right!

"If you commit a serious crime, why don't you bother the county magistrate?"

"Bullshit, how cowardly is Shen Laowu? Seeing that Li Taohua ran away with someone, he didn't have the courage to catch up with him and beat him up. He can still commit crimes?"

Others thought, hey, it seems reasonable.

Shen Yu: ...I'm so wronged.If you beat someone up, don't you need to pay for medical expenses?

"What do you guess? If you are curious, just follow the past and have a look."

When they heard that they were going to follow, everyone didn't have the courage anymore, and shook their heads one after another.

"No, no, what if I disturb the county magistrate's handling of the case?"

"No, no, no..."

Old man Shen was very worried. His son just made some messy things, and they were all good things. What could happen to him?

"Old man, go and have a look quickly, the fifth child has always been well-behaved, it is impossible for him to do anything wrong."

Hearing the villagers' comments, Mrs. Shen's legs went limp.

In fact, old man Shen's legs were a little weak, but thinking about how he had talked to his county magistrate, he had the courage to go over.

At worst, the worst is to be beaten with a board.

County magistrate Chen found Shen Yu's home, and when he saw that the yard was closed, he knew that he had gone to the workshop.

"Go, go to the workshop over there."

It's okay for County Magistrate Chen to sit in a sedan chair, but it's hard for the person who carried the sedan chair. The sedan chair already has weight, and it's a bit of a pain to carry it all the way.

The master hurriedly persuaded, "Master, you have had a hard time all the way, I will send someone to invite Lord Shen back." Then he whispered into the ear of County Magistrate Chen, "My lord, Da Zhuang and the others are not doing well. , you give them a break too."

County Magistrate Chen took a look, isn't it!In the cold weather, the sweat on everyone's head is almost stringed into water beads.

In the end, Shen Yu and Mu Jing came back before County Magistrate Chen invited someone to go. Mu Jing was carrying a burden, and Shen Yu was walking aside, chatting and laughing.

"Brother Shen, why are you still thinking about taking it easy here! You're almost dying of anxiety!"

Shen Yu didn't know what happened, but he knew from the guard of honor behind the magistrate Chen that something good should happen.

Shen Yu and Mu Jing looked at each other, "Magistrate Chen, why are you here?"

"Come on, I'll explain it to you in the room." County Magistrate Chen dealt with Shen Yu several times, but he was not that restrained.

"What did you say? An imperial decree came from above?" Shen Yu glanced at Mu Jing, logically speaking, Mu Jing would know about this kind of thing.It is only after living with Mu Jing that Xiao Hongzhan will write letters to Mu Jing every once in a while, and he will tell Mu Jing about important matters.

Mu Jing shook his head, expressing that he didn't know about it either.

"Brother Shen, no no, Uncle Shen, you'd better pack up quickly. The heavenly officials who announced the decree have all arrived in the county, and they should be here tomorrow. We have to get ready early."

Shen Yu knew nothing about these things, "What are you preparing for?"

That's why County Magistrate Chen came here, and said, "Listen to me, the place where the imperial decree is going to be placed, as well as rewards and offerings for worship, the room must be cleaned in advance..."

It's all trivial things.

But Shen Yu, his wife, and old man Shen were too busy. Many things were not available at home, and they had to go to the town to buy them now. After working all day and night, the house was finally renovated.

County magistrate Chen did not push Shen Yu away, but stayed there, breaking the previous rumors that Shen Yu had committed a crime.It was also heard that County Magistrate Chen had stayed at Shen Yu's house, and the two families were shopping a lot, which made people even more confused.

"If you want me to say, this is Yu Xiaozi who got the favor of the county magistrate, otherwise can he live in his house?"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that the words were probably true.

"Master Shen, have you remembered all the etiquette I taught you?" County Magistrate Chen asked aside.

Shen Yu let out a breath, asking a person who has never worshiped before to kneel down, and his hands and feet can't make mistakes, this is simply embarrassing others!

"Remember."

The heavenly officials who announced the decree arrived at noon, and the carriage they used was relatively fast along the way.The long guard of honor represents the majesty of the royal family.

A galloping horse entered Shen Village majestically, how could it not arouse everyone's curiosity and fear.

"Do you have someone named Shen Yu here?"

The person who was asked was heartbroken, and being looked at by such an expensive person, he was a little nervous, "Yes, yes, sir, is it Shen Yu who grows mushrooms?"

The guard didn't know if Shen Yu grew mushrooms, but the people next to him nodded to him, and he nodded, "That's it, do you know where he is? Quickly lead us the way."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Hey, what kind of big man is this?"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. After what happened yesterday, no one dared to talk nonsense.

"Tell me, is this official more powerful than the county magistrate?" I don't know who said that.

"It seems that this is the case!"

"How about we go and have a look?"

The man quickly shook his head, "Don't dare, I'm an official, so what if I'm not careful?"

"We watch from a distance, but we don't go inside."

The man still didn't go, "I'm right here, you go and see, if you see what's going on, come back and let me know."

Mu Jing and Shen Yu waited for a long time and finally saw someone coming. They saw a horse in front, followed by a two-horse carriage.

"It's finally here."

But seeing the person getting on and off the carriage, both Mu Jing and Shen Yu knew that this person was none other than Xiao Hongzhan.

No wonder I didn't receive the letter. It turned out that the person came in person.

Taking advantage of Xuanzhi eunuch's inattention, Xiao Hongzhan winked mischievously at the two of them, and then walked towards this side as if nothing had happened.

"Which of you is Shen Yu?"

Shen Yu followed the rehearsal, "Cao Min is Shen Yu."

The eunuch Xuanzhi nodded, took out the imperial edict from the box on one side, shook his hand, and opened the imperial edict.

"Shen Yu listens to the order."

"By God's blessing, the emperor said: Shen Yu, Shen Village, Pingxi Town, Donglin County, Qinghai Prefecture, improved rice seeds and discovered a new rice planting method. It can be said that the merits of the present age will benefit the future; special seal: Qingfenghou, Shiyi Donglin County ; And reward 3000 taels of silver and 300 taels of gold."

"Master Shen, don't you want to thank you?"

Hearing the voice of his father-in-law, Shen Yu finally realized, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After placing the imperial decree on the altar, Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The eunuch Xuanzhi thanked Shen Yu for his suggestion of staying with rice, took the purse that Shen Yu gave away, and left satisfied.

As soon as Xuanzhi eunuch left, the others seemed to wake up from a dream.This, is this being appointed an official by the emperor and made him a marquis?

Shen Yu felt a little guilty, this, this credit came a bit unfairly!This method of growing rice is what he sees from modern times, and the sweet potato is also given to him by the system, it is not his idea at all.
