Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 282 Dig a Hole and Build a Shed

"Okay, thank you once is enough, thank you three times." After interrupting Kinderman's third very formal thank you, Liu Mu said: "Let's discuss something."

"Speak, nobleman." Kinderman spoke to Liu Mu in a very respectful tone.

"Go and wash your face. It looks like you stole flour from the kitchen. The two blushes on your face look silly."

Kinderman was surprised by Liu Mu's words.

Because Kinderman's current makeup is definitely the makeup of the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty, she chose white makeup.And the veneer is made of gold foil.

Looking at Dugu Lanruo and the maids in the mansion, none of them wore such makeup.

"Go and wash your face now." Kinderman bowed and left.

After Kinderman left the house, Dugu Lanruo asked Liu Mu: "I wanted to ask you a long time ago, why you don't like women wearing makeup."

"It's not that I don't like it. Lead powder is poisonous and will only die faster if you apply it on your face. Red makeup is painted into a red face. This can't be a compromise." Liu Mu patted his thigh lightly when he said this: "I think of a rich man again. Way, it still has to fall on Kinderman, this will definitely make her a fortune."

Dugu Lanruo sat upright, pretending she didn't hear it.

Dugu Lanruo has lived in the Taoist temple for many years, and has never put on powder, and has really put on heavy makeup.She has gotten used to it over the years, so the maids in her mansion dare not wear makeup because she hardly wears makeup.

After Dugu Lanruo returned to the princess mansion, she simply applied some blush, lip red and so on.The maids in the mansion began to put on some light makeup.And Kinderman's face is completely white, which is really conspicuous.

When Kinderman went to wash his face, Liu Mu ordered someone to bring up the things he had prepared.

It was a three-foot-square wooden plate with many small grids on it, and on it were written the names of many unknown markets.

"This one is called Big Rich. (Note: strong hand chess, please refer to the Monopoly game)"

After Kinderman came in, Liu Mu specially explained the gameplay to her.

Kinderman doesn't care what game she plays, her purpose is to get close to Princess Jang Pyeong-soo, and of course she also wants to get more benefits for Silla from Liu Mu.

This chess is very fun, and it didn't take long to attract the two girls.

Dugu Lanruo originally asked Baoqin to help her collect the so-called pieces of paper representing coins, but when Liu Mu's chess pieces stepped into her full-level shop, Dugu Lanruo took the initiative to urge Liu Mu to pay quickly.

While counting the money for Dugu Lanruo, Liu Mu said to Kinderman, "Chang'an still has your people, arrange two people to go back, and order them to transport a large number of sea mussels to Laizhou, and then arrange hundreds of people to work there. I I want to try to grind the clam shells into fine powder, and then transport them to Chang'an."

"Yes." Kinderman even asked Willow what's the use of asking for these, as long as Willow ordered, she would definitely do it.

After all, the [-] high-quality horizontal knives and [-] pairs of leather armor that Liu Mu gave him to Silla had already been transported to Jiangnan, where they would be loaded on a ship in Jiangnan, pass through Tamna, and then arrive at Tamjin Port in Silla.

Dugu Lanruo thought that Liu Mu shouldn't be discussing serious matters with Kinderman, so she immediately changed the topic: "I heard that the fields of the family members of the Imperial Army have also been rented by you."

"No, it's cooperation." Liu Mu corrected this concept.

"Okay, so what?"

"Radishes, all kinds of radishes. I'm going to Zhuohe Valley after staying at home for a few days. I need to make some preparations in advance for winter. Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it might snow within a few days of winter," Liu Mu told Dugu Lanruo said.

Dugu Lanruo said: "Before you go to Zhuohe Valley, go to Zhuangzi on the Jinghe River."

"En." Liu Mu nodded, he knew that Dugu Lanruo was referring to the Zhuangzi of Jingheyi State Duke's Mansion, which had been vacant since Qin Qiong went to Bingzhou, and now Liu Mu's three younger sisters lived there.A female historian sent by the palace arranged for them to study and learn etiquette every day.

In fact, Dugu Lanruo didn't need to say that Liu Mu was going to Qin Qiong's Zhuangzi in Jingyang, and he needed to bring some things to Zhuoheyu.

The thing with willow is glass, flat glass.

On the southern slope of Zhuoheyu, Liumu brought another person besides the glass, Liumu's agricultural and industrial three-manager, who is about 40 years old and can read a lot, but because he is a child from a poor family, no one recommended him to go to the government. Work, has been farming at home.

And among these ordinary farmers, one of the few who really has a name.

It was given to him by the scribe who taught him back then, named Du Zichun.

"Dig, push down one foot, and pile the cooked soil aside." Du Zichun ordered, and hundreds of strong laborers began to dig, making square pits one after another.

Each pit is at most ten feet long and two feet wide.A total of six such pits were dug.

Soon, a foot of mature soil had been dug out and neatly pushed aside.After Du Zichun jumped down into the pit and grabbed a handful of soil under the pit, he was asked to dig another layer before continuing to order: "Dig another two feet deep."

The hard workers don't have much to say, just work.

Working here in Liumu, they have also been taught. They don't understand many things at all, and they will explain them when they ask, but they don't understand many things when they are explained. Most of them don't ask more questions, and they just follow orders.

There are many people who are happy.

After the digging was completed, someone carried the planks and began to ram earth to build a wall on the north side of the pit, using wood as pillars, then using stones for the lower layer and earth bricks for the upper layer, and built a five-foot-high and one-foot-thick wall in one day. stand up.

The next day, continue to work.

Shelves began to be built, and professional carpenters began to come to work here.

In addition to the main frame, it is five feet long and three feet wide, which can be inlaid with dozens of six-inch long and four-inch wide glass lattices. The carpenter's hand is very skillful, it is not a fixed lattice, but an empty space, and the glass is irregular. , and the glass cannot be cut here, so the frame is made according to the shape of the glass and then mounted on the wooden frame.

Liu Mu watched the work here for a full ten days, and watched it seriously every day.

Liu Mu is not a professional farmer, but only knows a little knowledge written in books.

This is also the latest technology in their village before crossing. It is called a semi-submerged greenhouse, which is better than ordinary greenhouses.

After the cooked soil was piled back into the pit, Du Zichun asked Liu Mu during the land preparation: "Mr., this one can really live when it snows."

"It's not over yet, let's make a thick straw curtain, usually cover it with a straw curtain, and when the sun is good, open the curtain to let you see the light. You need to make a stove, and the stoves used in these sheds need How much, we'll see when the time comes."

"Well, let's reserve ten places for charcoal stoves in one shed. So what shall we plant, sir?"

"What is the easiest way to live?" Liu Mu asked back.

"Leeks, shallots, coriander, these can live." Du Zichun gave the answer without thinking.

Liu Mu asked again: "There are three more kinds, spinach is okay?"
