My Fresh Food Supermarket Tong Daming

Chapter 54 Cement?

When the county magistrate boarded the carriage and was about to leave, there was a lingering joy on his face.

Just now, the Immortal Elder agreed to his impolite request, intending to collect the autumn tax for Miyun County first, so as to give the people time to breathe. He is.

And the fairy head also rejected his idea of ​​paying interest.

The immortal elder is really a benevolent immortal!

With more than a dozen large and translucent top-quality glazed beads in his arms, the county magistrate couldn't help but get a little wet in his eyes.

Recalling that the immortal head had not hesitated to hand over the glazed beads to him to handle on his behalf, this trust moved the county magistrate very much.

That's right, Zhou Ze handed him a dozen or so glass beads.

There are a total of thousands of people in Miyun County who need to pay thousands of shi of grain. Not to mention that he, a small supermarket, will be asked to register when he buys a large amount of grain at one time. Drink a jug.

That's at least hundreds of tons of grain! !
He doesn't have to live anymore after tossing.

So Zhou Ze gave the county magistrate a dozen or so glass beads and asked him to give them to the tribe living in the south to sell them and exchange them for food to bring them back.

This method was highly praised by the county magistrate as soon as it was proposed.

He has seen the top-grade glazed beads before. When Mr. Mu sold them to the Patriarch of the Chen family before, he felt that he had sold them at a loss. You must know that all the gentry in the south are very rich. It can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.

Now the immortal head gave him so many high-quality glazed beads, which are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the price of grain in the south is very cheap, even if the consumption on the road is thrown away, it will be enough to pay off the tax after being transported to the capital.

Anyway, there are still two months before the time required by the state government to pay in full, which is enough for his family to transport a large amount of food.

Seeing the carriage drifting away, the people around Zhou Ze showed signs of confusion.

At this moment, they were both proud and a little heartbroken.

In order to let the whole Miyun people take a breather, the immortal leader gave more than ten pieces of colored glaze beads worth thousands of gold to the county lord to sell them off without blinking an eye.

Ask yourself, if they were replaced by them, they would not have the spirit of a fairy head, which made all the villagers look at Zhou Ze with a little more respect and kindness in their eyes.

On the other hand, there was no trace of heartache on Zhou Ze's face.

Just kidding, the problem in Miyun County was perfectly solved with only a dozen or so glass beads.

As for taking the glass beads to trick the squire, he didn't feel guilty at all.

The squires of Ming Dynasty have been eating steamed buns made of human blood for so many years, so it is time to give back to the poor people.

In his mind, he even considered whether to sell some small gadgets such as lighters to the squires in the future.

It is not a problem at all that a windproof lighter that is several times more convenient than a fire pocket can be sold for 50 taels.

Moreover, with the addition of the county magistrate at this time, he is not worried about not being sold.

Zhou Ze couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene of countless gold and silver in the future.

What a genius I am!
Xia Changshou came over at this time, cupped his hands and asked:

"May I ask Immortal Elder, do you want to put the flour you brought back into the house?"

"Flour? No, it's called cement." Zhou Ze explained, pointing to the cement.

"Water cement?"

The villagers present were all dissatisfied, and their expressions were extremely confused.

They couldn't help looking at the accumulated water and yellow mud under their feet and then at the fine cement, but they couldn't associate it together in their minds.

A child squatted down on the spot and picked up the mud, and then held it up for the adults to see:
"Look, Dad, the baby also has cement~"

Looking at the crying child, Zhou Ze's head was full of black lines, this brat.
It's terrible to be uneducated. Although the bear boy was beaten, it can be seen from the eyes of other villagers that they think so too.

It seems that after the house is built, the next step is to start literacy education for the villagers.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze couldn't help shaking his head and said: "This cement is not made of yellow mud on the ground. It is used to build walls and pave roads. After it solidifies, it will not be afraid of knives and axes. It is very hard."

After hearing Zhou Ze's explanation, the villagers stared at the bags of cement with wide eyes.

My god, this cement, which is similar to fine flour, is not afraid of being cut by a knife or an axe?
Everyone looked at each other.

"You'll understand soon enough."

Then Zhou Ze asked the villagers to carry the cement into the tent to make waterproof measures. If it rains suddenly, the cement will be completely gone.

At the same time, Zhou Ze also ordered the villagers to pick up some small pieces of gravel and mix them into the cement when paving the road in the village. This will not only reduce the amount of cement used, but also increase the strength of the cement road.

When the sky was getting dark, a fast horse came to the entrance of the village, and it was the guardian who was staying in the Mu Mansion.

"Xianchang, the 20 green bricks have been loaded and ready to go, and you can leave at any time. Butler Mu asked the little one to ask the Xianchang whether to rush back overnight or wait until the next morning, and ask the Xianchang to make a decision."

Zhou Ze regained his energy, and after thinking for a moment, he asked the nurse to go back and tell Butler Mu to transport the green bricks to Shanghe Village overnight.

Considering that the team transporting bricks was likely to be servants of the Chen family, in order to reduce unnecessary troubles, he planned to mobilize the villagers to transport them back along the remaining section of the road.

Now Xiahe Village also has horse-drawn carts and ox carts, which won't waste too much time at all.

When the villagers heard the news that the blue bricks had been shipped, they were even more excited from ear to ear, and they all ran to Zhou Ze to ask for instructions to start digging immediately.

Of course Zhou Ze would not refuse, after all, digging out the foundation in advance can save a lot of time.

Immediately ordered everyone to start work.

After getting Zhou Ze's permission, busy green figures are everywhere in Xiahe Village.

As for the style of the house, Zhou Ze also had a rough draft, so he built it according to the modern northern rural houses.

Eighty or ninety square meters, three or four houses are more than enough for the villagers.

According to the idea, Zhou Ze chose the location of his house in the middle of the village, with a construction area of ​​nearly [-] square meters.

When the villagers learned that Xianchang was going to build a house, they unanimously dug out Zhou Ze's foundation first.

Zhou Ze has thoroughly seen how much the ancient people loved houses. At this moment, no one in Xiahe Village is lazy except himself.

Women and children, old and young, all joined the battle, and with the help of Shanghecun Qingzhuang, they quickly dug the foundation of their own house.

Seeing the villagers wanting to go up the mountain to cut down a big tree for a foundation, Zhou Ze stopped them.

Zhou Ze opened dozens of bags of cement, poured sand and gravel, mixed with water, let the two dogs keep stirring, and finally it became a paste.

At the same time, Zhou Ze returned to the supermarket to bring back some steel bars that he had bought while buying cement. Under the puzzled eyes of the villagers, he poured all the cement into the dug foundation, and firmly inserted the steel bars into it.

"When the cement is completely solidified, your foundation will be considered complete. Using cement as a foundation is a hundred times stronger than those perishable wood. It will ensure that your house will not have any problems in decades."

　I would like to apologize to all the lords here, the update is not on time today, and due to the review, it has caused inconvenience to all the lords.

　　please forgive me
