Chapter 749 Exercise
One said that a small fair should be held in the village.
The whole village responded enthusiastically.
They now belong to the stage where they have a little money in their pockets but are reluctant to spend big money, but they still want to spend it.
It's good to go to the market. If they can sell something at the market, they will be willing to spend money to buy something. They can make money while making money, and at the same time, they satisfy their two wishes of making money simply and spending money by searching for money.
The construction of a brick kiln and brick factory in the village is strongly supported by everyone.
We just came here last year, and many families built houses in a hurry.
The winter has passed and there are many problems.
Especially those adobe houses, many of which were cracked by the fire pits all winter long.
The brick factory in my own village is convenient and cheap.
When things got settled, Yan Laoer went to invite people in a hurry.
He has visited several brick factories that he has dealt with before. The conditions are very kind. As long as people come, they can choose to settle in Xiao'an Village, and the village will help build houses and open up wasteland.
The master master taught the brick-making craft to the village, and the village gave him a salary, regardless of whether he worked or not, until there were no more workers. As long as the brick factory was there, the master master's family could keep a job and pass it on from generation to generation.
Such good conditions attracted two families who opened brick kilns to move to Xiao'an Village.
Now let alone the villages and towns near Xiao'an Village, people in Huju City, Yongning City, and even Gufeng City have heard that this village at the junction of the three cities wants to build a high-walled fortress.
Although Beirong was at peace, the news that King Qi had rebelled spread again. Now there is such a village. Just thinking about it makes me feel safe. No one wants to live in it.
The manpower is sufficient and the demand is large.
The village elders discussed and discussed, and finally made a decision to build four brick kilns in the village.
…
Yan Laoer came back from the field on his cow, went into the yard, got off the cow, carried his shoes and looked for a basin with bare feet, scooped up water, stepped into the wooden basin, broke off the toes one by one, washed them, and rinsed the feet with water. Shoes, scoop out water again, this time apply some soap, and wash the two feet clean.
This is the time when the afternoon sunshine is at its best.
He was not in a hurry to enter the house. He sat down directly on the ground, leaned against the wall, put his two feet on the wooden basin, and let the air dry like this.
The warm sunlight shines evenly on the face and body, making it feel warm.
Yan Laoer fell asleep in a daze.
Kang Yinli was already familiar with the Yan family's entrance and exit. When he saw the courtyard door open, he strode in.
After entering, it is difficult not to see Yan Laoer sleeping soundly in the courtyard.
The image of the boss of his family at this time, uh, has no image at all.
He leaned against the wall and slept swaying, his feet standing straight up.
“Dong Weng, Dong Weng!” Kang Yinli called softly.
Yan Laoer opened his eyes while half asleep.
“Come into the house and sleep, feel more comfortable.”
Yan Laoer was just about to get up and walk to the house, his mind was clearer.
“Kangda is back, is it going well?”
"Everything goes well." Kang Yinli took out a few pieces of paper from the bag in front of him. "For those families in Xizhou, Mr. Tian ordered them to register. At the quarry, the manager said that according to Dong Weng's calculation, they would go there every morning and find some clay and stone powder. Yes, they will arrange for manual mining.”
"Gufeng Coal Mine is willing to sell us all the crushed coal and cinders. The master there replied and said that the price will not be lower, but the bill can be settled quarterly, and the contract can be signed at any time."
Delayed payment can alleviate spending pressure.
Three months.
Yan Laoer thought about it for a while and found that it was somewhat different from the half-year period when he wrote the letter before.
However, if you can get the remaining share of the coal mine except for the whole coal, it will be three months.
He breathed out, with a bit of joy on his face: "Tell the waiter this news, she will be happy!"
My daughter’s current charcoal business is the family’s livelihood, and the firewood is made by herself. After the cinders were transported back from Xizhou, there was a wave of briquettes in Guanzhou. Yan Yu also sold them for a while, but later did not continue. There is a shortage of raw materials, and the second reason is that it is out of season. She plans to wait until autumn to continue.
The child's mother gave Dabao a knife, and he, the father, cannot lose.
Stocking up on materials is the first step.
Actually, it’s not that Yan Yu didn’t expect it, but that she didn’t want to accumulate such a large amount of capital. Yan Lao’s hands were tight, but he had an idea in mind.
As a general who can lead troops to suppress bandits, he has a way to get rich quickly.
After discovering that his military training skills were indeed inferior to those of his daughter, Yan Laoer was not discouraged.
What's the point? His daughter will help him train soldiers, and he will do other things.
Engage in construction, make money, make money, make money!
This is called specialization in a profession.
"By the way, Dong Weng, my second brother asked someone to send a message back, saying that Yan Hushu will return home today." Kang Yinli said.
Yan Laoer’s eyes lit up.
"Brother is coming back? Yes, he has a rest today!" He stood up quickly, not caring whether his shoes were wet or not, and ran straight to the cellar. "Brother is finally back. I'll go to the cellar to see what's there. Kang Da, you go back!"
Kang Yinli wanted to stay and help, but when he thought about his cooking skills, he decided against it.
I really can’t help Dong Weng in this regard.
…
Xiao'anying
Yan Yuzheng and his men were divided into two teams, one defensive and one offensive, and conducted exercises around the siege ladder.
The most likely thing that Guanzhou Prefecture will copy on a large scale is the trebuchet, but they are familiar with all three types of siege equipment in Xizhou.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.
The functions of catapults and rams are relatively simple.
Only the siege ladder can not only climb the ladder and climb the wall, but also transport soldiers to the bottom of the city wall.
In addition to the tough cowhide covering the top, there are holes on the front and rear sides to allow guns and arrows to pass through, which plays a certain role in counterattack defense.
In actual exercises, the defender has a huge advantage.
Unless there is someone as powerful as Yan Yu who can defeat cleverness with strength.
Of course, fire attack is also a good method.
Or if the stone is thrown accurately, it can hit the folding joint of the ladder, and the purpose of erecting the ladder will be directly useless.
Unable to help soldiers climb the wall, the only thing left is to transport troops, which is useless.
The people on the city wall are projected from a high position, and the people below are living targets.
The point of drills is to understand.
The more thorough the understanding, the better for them.
Another round of offense and defense exchanges, both sides gearing up.
The weapons they used were bare poles wrapped with cloth. Bows and arrows were not allowed to be used in the previous round, but they can be used in this round. The arrows were also wrapped in cloth and dyed, whether they hit people or siege ladders. Big guy, it’s clear at a glance.
There are many referees standing around, who will quickly judge whether to sentence someone to the game, discuss the degree of damage to the ladder, and decide the outcome.
Because the premise of each round is different, the two teams had a great time playing.
This exercise has been carried out from morning to afternoon.
No one who participated in the exercise, no matter adults or children, was good. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and the same is true in the exercise. When the battle is fierce, neither the enemy nor we care about accuracy. If you can stab someone, you can shoot someone. OK
The unlucky guys who were hit on the head and face with bruises and bruises kept leaving the game, and new people came to fill in for the next game.
"stop!"
Yan Yu shouted, and the boy next to him hurriedly beat the gong.
No matter how loud the voice is, it cannot be heard at this time.
"Let's go here today. Let's think about it more and discuss it more when we go back. See where we failed today and whether there is anything that can be improved." She walked as she talked, looking very anxious.
Get on the donkey.
Thinking of another thing, he confessed: "The Boy Scouts should give me their practice experience, and give it to me before noon the day after tomorrow at the latest."
There was a wailing behind him.
Come on Xiaoer, you are the best~!
