The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 9 City Gate Order

Although Fang Yu sympathized with the plight of this group of refugees, he had no intention of raising them like pigs.

After you've eaten and drank enough, you have to work, and it's from morning to night, without a lunch break.

There is no way, the "Laishui New City" project planned by Mr. Fang is too big, why don't they, who have been favored, just act like cows and horses?

Early the next morning, most of the refugees were assigned to build temporary shacks, hoping to move them all in within a few days.

The backbone of the refugees, Old Man Zhao, sophomores, seniors, and Liu Ji are now walking along the moat with Fang Yu.

"Here, all the way to the tree, is the width of the road." Fang Yu said.

Then the second and third grade students quickly carried a bamboo basket on their backs, took out the lime from it and sprinkled it all the way. This was considered as setting the line.

Well, of course the lime was sent from the county to pad the manure pits. The ancients also knew this simple principle of disinfection.

Old man Zhao made a quick measurement and couldn't help but secretly said: "Is this probably a foot wide? Are there still carriages in the refugee camp?"

It is certain to go by horse-drawn carriage, because with Fang Yu's arrival, more and more people will come here in the future. In time, it will be easy to catch up with the county seat.

There will be so many people coming and going, will a narrow path be possible?

Although there are fewer people now, it is always a good idea to plan ahead.

"People live here, and there will be a commercial area over there... Well, just leave open space. This is a matter for the future."

When I was a sophomore and a senior in high school, I quickly ran to the other side, picked up lime and spread it in a circle on the ground, adding a few more dots in the middle...

Fang Yu asked: "What does this mean?"

The sophomore in high school said proudly: "This is a sesame seed cake."

"Where's the white spot in the middle?"

"That's sesame. Sesame seeds make sesame seeds more fragrant."

... Fang Yu was impressed. Isn't there a restaurant selling sesame sesame pancakes in the commercial district? There's nothing wrong with that!

At this moment, Old Man Zhao pointed to the distance and said: "The city gate order is here."

Compared with Wang Dianshi and other people in Laishui County, Pang Tiande is very friendly to the refugees.

He had seen Fang Yu and others wandering here a long time ago, spreading quicklime on the ground while wandering around. What on earth did they want to do?
In addition, he still had two doubts in his mind. One was that there was a green light flashing in and out of the homeless camp last night, quite regularly, and he didn't know what it was.

The second is that the attitude of the two men he sent out to protect the iron pot changed dramatically after they came back. They demanded that Pang Tiande hand over the task of protecting the iron pot to them and not rotate with others.

Pang Tiande knew the temperament of those two people. They must have benefited from being in the refugee camp. As for what the benefit was... Pang Tiande couldn't figure it out.

So taking advantage of his free time, he simply ran over and asked.

"The green light, that's the indicator light on the intercom. As long as it's connected, it's green, and if it's not connected, it's red."

Fang Yu answered honestly.

However, Pang Tiande couldn't understand it at all. Fang Yu explained: "The intercom is called Baby-Call in our place...but I don't like this name because it is used to talk between two people.

For example, if you are in Laishui County and the emperor is in the capital, you can use this to talk to the emperor without running around.

Of course, you or the emperor must have a mobile phone and install an APP that can simulate shortwave. "

After Fang Yu explained in detail, Pang Tiande finally understood. He understood that Fang Yu was treating Pang like a monkey!

Seeing Pang Tiande's anger, Fang Yu simply said: "Well, I have to talk to Teacher Pan tonight. Come and take a look and you will understand." Pang Tiande squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Yu, but Fang Yu did not give in. , staring at him.

After a long while, Pang Tiande took a breath and said word by word: "Okay, I'll come over and take a look after dark!"

Fang Yu nodded.

He really had nothing to hide. The thing was so big that he couldn't even hide it, and Pang Tiande's station was very close. Sooner or later, he would have to know about it.

Pang Tiande was angry and didn't want to ask anything else. He turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped again.

Fang Yu's title was very affectionate: "Brother Pang Pang, I wonder if there are any clothing stores in this county?"

Fang Yu originally wanted to take Axiu to the city to buy some clothes in the morning, but Old Man Zhao reminded him that people at this time were accustomed to buying their own cloth and making their own clothes at home.

As for ready-made clothing shops, there are very few, and you may have to go to Fucheng Qingyuan (today's Baoding) to find them.

Sure enough, Pang Tiande shook his head.

Fang Yu had no choice but to buy the cloth himself and ask someone to make it. Then he said again: "Brother Pang Pang knows people well. Can you help me find some tailors? I want a dozen or twenty tailors and ask them to come outside the city to help us make a batch." clothing?"

Pang Tiande opened his mouth wide, ten or twenty?There are not so many tailors in Laishui County.

Fang Yu also thought about this problem and added: "Not just masters, but also apprentices, and women from the county, as long as they are good at craftsmanship, can come."

Pang Tiande looked at Old Man Zhao and the others, and then at the busy refugees in the distance.

The clothes they were wearing were indeed no longer wearable, and some even didn't even have any pants, so they just wrapped a piece of rag around their waists. No wonder the women in the county ran very fast when they passed by here.

Pang Tiande pondered for a long time and reminded: "To make three to four hundred pieces of clothing, even if they are made of coarse cloth, it will cost dozens of taels of silver."

He just thought that Fang Yue was young and ignorant and didn't know the cost. Moreover, these dozens of taels of silver were just money to buy cloth. What about hiring a tailor?

The tailor's wages plus the food money would cost a hundred taels.

But look at this group of refugees. Where do they look like they are hiding money?

It’s not a cold day either, so instead of thinking about spending money on clothes, why not think about where to eat tomorrow!The county will never send you black crotons again.

Pang Tiande thought to himself as he looked at Fang Yu with his eyes.

He could see that Old Man Zhao was just a follower, and this young man was the leader.

Although the clothes he wore were of a strange style, they were as clean as new, with no patches or holes on them, and the material looked good... but that was all.

Rich people these days have two basic characteristics: wearing long gowns and growing beards.

But this young man has neither. His chin is bare and his trousers go down to his ankles...

It is impossible for a wealthy family to dress like this, so even if he is not a refugee, he is at most an ordinary person!Which ordinary person can take out hundreds of taels of silver at once!
Fang Yu didn't know that he had been looked down upon by Pang Tiande, even though he really came from an ordinary family.

Fang Yu shook his head and corrected: "It's not three or four hundred pieces, but eight hundred pieces. At least one should be kept for washing, right?

I need to make a few sets of children's clothes for a very cute little girl. I need to use the best materials and draw the styles for me first... Uh, Brother Pang, are you listening?Where are you going? "

Halfway through Fang Yu's words, he saw that Pang Tiande had turned around and left.

Pang Tiande didn't even look back and replied angrily: "I'll find a tailor for you. I'll find all the tailors in the county. If they don't come, I'll tie them up."

Watching Pang Tiande walk away, Fang Yu felt confused: "Did he really go to the tailor, or did he say something angry?"
