I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 75 Provincial Model Worker!

When Chen Wenjing saw that the Taoist was about to write a letter, he immediately handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone very discerningly.

This frail young man is quite interesting!

Guo Yi smiled silently, and then continued to ask Chen Guangde: "Mr. Chen, I plan to make gantry frames. I wonder if there is a carpenter in Liuhe Village?"

"Yes! Yes, yes!" Chen Guangde covered his chest with one hand, and with a bright smile, he responded somewhat leakily: "Our village is next to the river, and many people live on the river. Therefore, many shipbuildings were born. The carpenters here are all good craftsmen!"

After speaking, send someone to find the carpenter.

"Since there are carpenters, we will block the mouth of the river tomorrow and build the gantries together. Well, by the way, I am looking for some masons to go to the east bank to repair and build houses and make preliminary preparations."

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man who yelled the loudest just now laughed and responded loudly: "I'm a mason! Will you pay for building the house?"

Very realistic guy.

"Here!" Guo Yi nodded without hesitation, then looked at the Taoist, and discussed: "Carpenters and masons, 120 Wen per day. The rest are [-] Wen per day."

The Taoist had no objection, but nodded in agreement.

"If that's the case, then you can ask for some money in the letter and have Zhuzi bring it along with you." Guo Yi added.

Seeing Guo Yi's arrangement by the side, the monk couldn't help but be amazed secretly. This kid actually has leadership skills.

Chen Guangde's face was full of smiles. Such a large-scale construction would require at least 80 people. Now, the villagers will have to earn a lot of money!
And his eldest grandson, Chen Wenjing, whispered in his ear: "Weng Weng, why don't you take this opportunity to confirm with them now, how many masons, carpenters, and handymen are needed in total?"

Chen Guangde nodded slightly, and then took the opportunity to mention it.

Guo Yi didn't search at all, and responded very generously: "Strong labor, one counts as one, all! I will draw up a charter tonight, and act according to the charter tomorrow."

Hearing his words, all the men in Liuhe Village around were overjoyed, and hurriedly yelled at the village official, Chen Guangde: "Uncle, count me in!"

"Uncle, count me in too!"

And those middle-aged and middle-aged children who were watching the excitement also ran away immediately, presumably going back to report to their adults.

Chen Guangde also grinned from ear to ear, nodded in agreement without hesitation, and proposed: "Master Deyuan and Zhao signed the judgment, and this young gentleman, let's eat at my house tonight."

After finishing speaking, he shouted at the men beside him: "There are still a few fish left in my house, and I guess it is not enough. Lao Liu, catch those old hens from your house. There are also ducks from Lao Wu's house, too. Bring two here."

The few who were called by him scattered to prepare.

When I was young, dinner started, and the table was still very rich.

Chicken, duck and fish, everything is available.There is actually local wine brewed by Zheng's family in Liangtan village.

All the people were having a good time, and while they were changing cups, the Taoist took time off to discuss serious matters with Guo Yi.

"Do you have a way to block the mouth of the river?"

Guo Yi thought for a while, and then said carefully: "First use piles of rocks to increase the resistance, and then use sacks filled with sand to fill the gaps. First block the river mouth to store water, and then consider using stone gates or wooden gates."

The Taoist nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What about the Longmen frame?"

"The gantry frame is easy to say. It is divided into four legs. Two feet are in the river and two feet are on the bank. If two stone piles are driven into the river, it will be enough to support it. It depends on the craftsmanship of the carpenters in Liuhe Village."

"Well, that's good, let's make a charter at night. You go and take the carpenter to build the gantry frame, and some people go to block the river mouth according to the method you said, and let the old monk take people to build houses on the east bank."

"Success!" Guo Yi nodded and agreed, "I will do as you say!"

The next day.

The sky is still clear, blue waves are like washing, cloudless, without the slightest sign of rain.

This father-in-law of the sun has been on consecutive shifts for two months since it snowed last winter.

He is more ruthless than the 007 old social animal who is diligent and desperate to make money.

Up to now, there is still no rhythm for Lei Gong and Dian Mu to change shifts.

I can't bear to rest all day.

Such dedication to work can be called a model worker.

Provincial Model Worker!

It was just dawn, and the Taoist was very worried when he saw that it was still time to go to work.With a sigh, he hurriedly led people to block the mouth of the river.

According to Guo Yi's method, the rocks were first dropped.A dozen or so people, divided into two groups, stood on the east and west banks, banging rocks into the water.

Another dozen or so people took sacks and packed sand on the bank.

The monk, holding Guo Yi's drawings in his hand, took a group of masons to the east bank to repair and build houses.

As for Guo Yi, a large group of carpenters came led by Chen Wenjing.In addition to building the gantry, some tools for refining salt from brine are also made.

The formation of saline-alkali land is mostly due to the rich brine in the ground.And these brines will seep out of the surface due to various reasons, forming saline-alkali land.

And in the letter he asked Zhu Zi to bring back, he mentioned that he needed more than a dozen sets of new Luoyang shovels and water presses to draw underground brine.

Of course, there are the most important iron pots and stone carbon.

Although reeds are abundant here, it is too labor-intensive to boil salt with reeds.

Moreover, boiling salt with brine is not just a simple process, it is a complete system.Including the supply of various raw materials, the extraction and boiling of brine, and finally the transportation and sale of salt.

Therefore, Guo Yi did not intend to intervene. In his letter to the king of Chu, he mentioned the technology of using brine to boil salt as a shareholding, asking for [-]% of the shares.

And Zhuzi, after two days of drifting in Feng Laosi's boat, entered the Hanshui River from the Liuzhi River, and then merged into the Dajiang River along the Hanshui River.

Finally, they went upstream from the south to the north of the Dajiang River, and entered Jiangling City in the evening before the city gate was closed.

There was no time to rest, so according to Guo Yi's instructions, he came to the Chu Palace in the north of the city to find Guan Shi.

After Guanshi Zhu was called out by the door, he looked at the fat boy in front of him in surprise, and quickly looked around him, but he didn't find Guo Yi.

Can't help asking in surprise: "Where is your Erlang? Didn't you say you went to Zhangjiawan? Why did you come back by yourself?"

Zhuzi took out two letters from his pocket, and handed them over: "Second Young Master, Master Deyuan, and that Taoist priest have gone to Liuhe Village. They asked me to deliver the letters back, and said that they also asked me to bring back the letter and the money. "

Manager Zhu took the letter with some doubts, and found that both envelopes were signed by His Highness the King of Chu, and that one was signed by Guo Yi, and the other was signed by Seventeen.

Immediately, he didn't dare to neglect, he raised his foot and walked back.

And Zhu Zi hurriedly followed, scratching his head as he walked, and shouted a little embarrassedly: "What, I've been floating on the river for two days, and my stomach is almost flattened by hunger."

There are still times when he feels embarrassed...

Steward Zhu didn't stop walking, and called a servant girl: "Take him to the kitchen, and when he's full, take him outside the study and wait."

And His Royal Highness King Chu had just had dinner, and was teasing his eldest son with the princess.

Hearing that the maid outside said that Guanshi Zhu had something important to report, he couldn't help being startled, and got up quickly to come out.

　Long time no votes!
　　The collection is not very high...
