Qingji followed her uncle and grandson Shaoguang back to her temporary residence in Flying Fox Valley, this house has just been completed for a few days, although it is simple, but there is grass in the courtyard, and the scenery is still beautiful when you go out to see the lake.
In the room, Qingji told her about going to Qufu to persuade Ji Sun Yiru to support Ji Song, and her uncle and grandson were overjoyed.
The two of them grinded their ears and temples, relieving the pain of parting a little.
Immediately, Qingji reminded her that she had returned, and she had to take Li Han out of Flying Fox Valley as soon as possible, so as not to take pictures of the two chief stewards.
Qingji is always a little cautious about Li Han, who is psychologically yin and obviously admires his uncle and grandson, although he is now working for his uncle and grandson, Qingji is unwilling to let him know his identity.
For this reason, Uncle Sun Shaoguang secretly hated that he shouldn't have chosen Li Han's escort to come to Philadelphia, so that he had to hide his eyes and ears for a short time with Qingji, but Qingji was a big deal to build a city here and recruit troops and horses, and it was related to her lifelong interests, so she didn't dare to be negligent, so she agreed.
In the afternoon of the same day, the craftsmen of Flying Fox Valley learned that Yang Bin, the chief steward of Chengfu, had returned, and Miss Shusun and Li Han and Li Han went back to Philadelphia to live.
Without the overly harsh and mean Li Han, many workers and craftsmen couldn't help but rejoice.
Qingji walked around the Flying Fox Valley, and saw that a majestic city was beginning to take shape, and it would be basically completed in ten days and a half months, and he felt happy in his heart.
Many of the craftsmen and wrestlers recruited this time were not locals, and after they had finished their errands, they had to go elsewhere after receiving their wages.
Qingji instructed Yingtao and the dozen or so subordinates to find more qualified candidates from among these workers and craftsmen, and when the city was completed, the strong men who were not involved in the family could be recruited in the name of Yanding and become the first team of his new army in Philadelphia.
At dusk, the smoke rose again, and Qingji remembered that the little cook had been complained about by the workers during the day, so he called for two blacksmith leaders and two stonemason leaders.
Everyone gathered in the open space, wrote and painted with wooden sticks on the sand, and told them for a long time, several craftsmen leaders looked at each other, and asked carefully about their suspicions, Qingji replied one by one, and several craftsmen leaders retreated.
Qingji could see the heartfelt respect in their eyes, and couldn't help but smile as if he was lost.
Strange to say, since he came to this era, he inherited the identity and mission of Qingji, and was originally dedicated to the restoration of the country, busy with power schemes, state affairs, and military affairs, but many systems and innovations involving state affairs and military affairs He obviously has advanced millennium materials, but he can't apply them.
Not only was it shocking, but the Great Leap Forward that leapfrogged the course of history actually didn't help him at all.
Even a saddle and stirrup have to be hidden and tucked, and although the hereditary official family has many shortcomings, it cannot be banned.
On the contrary, some small things in people's livelihood, whether it is clothing, hygiene, or food, he can bring them up without fear.
If it weren't for Gongzi Qingji's identity, he would have become a well-respected and famous craftsman, with a good income and a stable living environment.
But if that's the case, how can there be hot-blooded men like Yingtao, Liang Huzi, and Ah Qiu around him, and how can he get a delicate baby stunner like Cheng Bi, Uncle Sun Shaoguang, and the love of the daughter of a wealthy family, and there will be gains and losses, and life will never be perfect.
Mrs.
Cheng Bi was not in Philadelphia at this time, but a few days ago, Mrs.
Cheng Bi, under the escort of various stewards and hundreds of generals, went to the East China Sea along the road to inspect the three major salt farms in the East China Sea, met with the salt factory owners who lived in the East China Sea and worked for the Ji family, and discussed with these powerful "various princes" about the relationship and distribution of benefits for future cooperative operations.
Uncle and grandson Shaoguang no longer have a reason to stay here, but when Mrs.
Chengbi returns, he will resign and return to Qufu.
I didn't see much with Qingji, how could she let go of such an opportunity in vain, so on the second day, she asked Li Han to take someone to a nearby city to buy local specialties, and after returning to Qufu, she could give them to relatives and friends.
After Li Han was separated, his uncle and grandson Shaoguang were able to return to Flying Fox Valley and spend a short time with Qingji.
Uncle and grandson Shaoguang still don't know the taste of male and female lust, as long as he can see his sweetheart from time to time, he is already satisfied.
Qingji is busy in the mountains, but she is not obsessed.
On the morning of the third day, the four blacksmiths and stonemasons who had been ordered by Qingji rushed to return to their lives, and after repeated trials and tests, they had done a good job of meeting Qingji's standards.
Two stone mills, six flat-bottomed iron pots, the stone mills are made of the best materials.
As for ironware, the iron texture at this time was too brittle, and it was easy to break and damage when used to cast blades, but it was not a problem to use it to cast pots.
As soon as these two things were ready, they immediately couldn't wait for someone to carry them and ask the Yang Grand Steward to demonstrate their usefulness.
In fact, these craftsmen are ingenious, just listen to Qingji say their structure, and they have guessed a few points of their usefulness, for these craftsmen, every new invention and creation is an exciting event, so although they haven't slept much in the past two days, their eyes are full of bloodshots, but they are full of energy and excitement.
Qing Ji saw that this stone mill and iron pot that completely met his standards, and he was also a little happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked those wrestlers to carry them and walked to the dining place next to the women's house.
In his heart, he wanted to show off again and let the stone mill grind the surface with water, but in that case, he would have to build a waterwheel and renovate the drainage pipes that had already been dug, and it was not suitable for all places, so he had to do it after thinking about it.
A few more stove pits have been dug next to the seven stove pits, and the women who cook and wash have added two more under Yingtao's arrangement, but they are still too busy, but they are not even cooked.
Today's stew is bean rice, Ji Sun Xiaoman is dancing with a wooden stick in his hand, fighting against the lunch of seven cauldrons, Qingji led some workers and carried a few rare things to come.
"Come, put the stone mill on this side, on those cauldron racks."
Qingji instructed the workers to set up the stone mill, and everyone looked at this strange thing in novelty.
Although Qingji has seen a stone mill, and the structure of this thing is extremely simple, after all, it is the first time to use it, and he is a little nervous in his heart.
He called for two donkeys to be brought in, blindfolded and put on a cover, and a sack of beans and a sack of wheat were brought, and they poured some of the holes in the two stone mills, so that the donkey turned, and in a few moments some flour-like things poured out from below.
Qingji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, and said happily: "It's finally done." ” "Come, come, put on the bottom pocket, and sweep the flour into the bag with a broom.
Top, top continues to pour beans, wheat grains" When the craftsmen saw such a miracle, they couldn't help but be amazed, and they all exclaimed: "Yang Guan is really clever, he actually came up with such a strange thing, the villain has been a stonemason all his life, and he has never thought of such a thing."
It's unthinkable. ” Qingji laughed and said, "Now that you know how to do it, you can build more, and you can also open your own mill to grind food for people."

All foods with such hard grains can be ground into flour with this substance.
The wheat is ground into flour and is very easy to cook, but you can't cook the flour directly like this, you should" Qingji casually said a few things about noodles, pastries, steamed buns and other things, and several cooks on the side kept it in mind.
Qingji pointed to the grinding plate for grinding beans and said: "If you make a small grind with a more delicate grinding surface, put the soaked beans in it, and the soybean milk from the grinding can be cooked and drinkable."
There are also sesame seeds, which can be ground out of oil by fine grinding, and the oil extraction is no longer as laborious as it was at the beginning, you see."
As soon as the craftsmen heard him, they understood the truth, and some of them had already thought of a new way to make a living, and they couldn't be happy themselves.
Qingji saw their happy and novel appearance, but he only smiled.
These things were common in later generations, but they were used to solve the problem of cooking and cooking on the mountain, and in his opinion, they were not of great use.
He didn't know how far-reaching the invention of such a seemingly trivial invention as the stone mill was.
Originally, beans, wheat and other plants were easy to grow in the grains at that time, and they were considered to be prolific, because it was not easy to eat, the planting area has not been large, because of this inconspicuous stone mill, the original inferior rice and millet of these grain effects can flourish, and gradually become the mainstream, although it can not see its role for a while, but the change of the entire grain production structure, the important role of benefiting future generations, but he restored the family name of the country is 10,000 times more important.
"As for this iron pot," Qingji smiled, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, shouting, "Make a fire." ” At that moment, a craftsman rushed up to fill the firewood and make a fire, wanting to see what tricks the steward had.
At that time, the dishes did not come in the form of marinade, stew, boil, and sauce, and even the dishes eaten by the aristocratic and wealthy families were also made in this way, but the materials were more exquisite.
At that time, people did not think that vegetables could be fried and eaten in the pot, and the pots produced never had a wok.
Qingji demonstrated to a few cooks, and several cooks couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Ji Sun Xiaoman has often lived in the Lu Guanju opened by her mother's old guard Yuan in the past years, and she is quite proficient in cooking.
This guy, no wonder he can hook up with Cheng Bi, it turns out that in addition to a handsome face, he is really a little smart. ” Qingji picked up a few wild vegetables at random, sniffed the fragrance in the pot, smiled with satisfaction, threw the spatula to a cook, turned his head to look for Xiao Ai and said, "Little girl, look at this time" Since he arrived at this place where the food is cooked, he has been busy letting people set up stone grinders and teach how to use them, and he has not carefully looked at Ji Sun Xiaoman's appearance at all, and Ji Sun Xiaoman has also taken the initiative to avoid him.
But when he was stir-frying, Ji Sun Xiaoman also approached out of curiosity, and it was too late to hide, so the two looked at each other.
Although Ji Sun Xiaoman's face is not washed these days, and his hair is not combed much, he deliberately makes himself dirty like a little girl, but a girl's family Aimei is her surname, she will not make her face too ugly, and she can still vaguely see her original appearance.
Qingji has seen her twice, and she is very impressed by this cute little girl, especially her bright and smart eyes, which will not be hidden because she is ugly, and this Qingji is stunned.
Ji Sun Xiaoman lowered his eyes in a panic, and said secretly in his heart: "This is miserable, don't let him see the flaws, then my suffering will be in vain."
After Qingji was slightly stunned, his expression returned to calm, and he said casually: "Hehe, you see that those problems should be solved this time." ” Ji Sun Xiaoman's heart was suddenly overjoyed: "Hey, he didn't recognize me for this eyeless thing" On the Cangxia Ridge, the men and horses who hijacked Lu Jun to the Qianhou of Qi have returned, and I heard that Lu Jun Ji Chou went to participate in the birthday banquet of Qi Xiangyan, but at the foot of Shuangfeng Mountain, because of the news that the five clans were killed by mistake, Zhan Zhi couldn't help but be stunned.
Hijacking Lu Jun, who was driven out of the country, and rebelling under the banner of the Qing monarch was an important part of his plan, but now that Ji Chou is dead, his feet are like a heavy punch in the air, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.
Ji Chou died, he hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the news of the capital, who expected that the exploration horse had not yet arrived in Qufu and hurried back to reply, the three Huan families each sent a large army to the direction of Mengshan several major cities, it is said that one is to practice martial arts, and the other is to move to the city.
Zhan Nao listened to the news and said suspiciously: "This place is close to the East China Sea, there will be no enemy coming from the east, there is already a border army in the north, relying on the danger of mountains and rivers is enough to block the Qi army, if the Sanhuan family says that the martial arts, it is not the right time to be in this busy agricultural season, not to mention that it is necessary to move to the garrison."
Hey, he's moving his troops here, who is going to prevent him from coming?"
Gu Junhai said movingly: "Lord, the news that we are going to raise troops has been leaked."
Last time, he was asked to disturb Cheng Bi, Gu Junhai was moved, and went directly to kidnap Cheng Bi to go up the mountain, but he returned with a feather, and Zhan Zhi scolded this henchman in private, and then ordered him to stay on the mountain honestly and not allow him to go down the mountain again.
Seeing him talking at this time, Zhan Zhen was still angry, glared at him fiercely, and then muttered: "Probably not, there are only a few people who know that I am going to make trouble, and they are all credible brothers, how could Sanhuan get the news Is it because of Cheng Bi's robbery, Ji Sun Yiru The old guy became nervous Hey, there is really a personal affair between them." ” Xiao Yi said with a strange face: "Lord, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say this."
If it is said that Cheng Bi and Ji Sunyi have a love affair, it is still possible, Ji Sunyi is such a short-sighted person, and he does not distinguish between the important and the serious, and it is not impossible to send troops to protect his beloved woman.
But the uncle and Meng family also sent troops, it won't be to protect this fox, unless this goblin even seduces Uncle Sun Yu and Meng Sun Ziyuan, but Ji Sun Yiru is extremely jealous, can he tolerate it?"
Zhan Xuan's eyes turned, and his face became solemn: "You mean that Sanhuan sent troops and did come for a certain family."
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Lord, I think that you must not be guarded against." ” Zhan Zhi paced slowly in the hall, pondered repeatedly, and finally sat down on the seat, pressed his hands to his knees, and commanded: "Ji Chou is dead, and he has lost half of his support."
Now that Sanhuan has sent troops, he has lost the opportunity again, and it is very unwise to act rashly at this time.
Xiao Yi, you go down the mountain in person, pay attention to every move of the Sanhuan army, and report any news at any time. ” "Obey" Xiao Yi retreated, and led his cronies down the mountain to find out the news of Sanhuan.
Zhan Wei was about to speak to Gu Junhai when a thief rushed in from outside and shouted: "Report, Lord, there is important news" Zhan Jiao's eyes froze, and he asked nervously, "What's the news, tell me quickly." ” The man gasped and said, "Lord, Mrs.
Cheng Bi came back from inspecting the three major salt farms in the East China Sea, and at this time she is returning to Philadelphia along the west direction of the Jun River, and now she has arrived at the Prison Dragon Crossing. ” When Gu Junhai heard this, he blurted out, "How many people does she have?"
The man said: "Six big ships, it is estimated that there will be about 300 guards on board, and there is also a guard of up and down 100 people on each side of the river to accompany along the river and escort the left and right." ” "That's more than 500 people" Gu Junhai jumped up excitedly and said to Zhan Xuan: "Lord, we should be able to eat this team of people." ” Spreading his eyes and looking at him, Gu Junhai's heart froze, and his arrogance suddenly shrank.
Zhan Zhi said coldly: "Jun Hai, let me ask you, do we have a big boat that can be used on the water, do we have soldiers who are proficient enough in water warfare, what do we do to capture her on the water?"
Gu Junhai was speechless by his series of interrogations, and suddenly didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhan Zhi snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Good man, if you have that mind, you only think about a woman's trouser belt all day long, what else is there to do?"
It was the first time that Gu Junhai was reprimanded by him in public, and he was ashamed and angry for a while, and his face was flushed.
Zhan Nao ignored him anymore, gritted his teeth and sneered: "If you can't attack, I'll defend it."
Hmph, Ji Sun is like an old horseman who sent troops to the east this time, if he wants to find trouble with me, then we will compete.
I'm going to see who can afford it."
