BSI Chapter 102
Chapter 102
With the arrival of the people from Zhu, there are some women from Zhu who can cook the food there. Even if there are not too many spices, they can at least make some similar tastes. In this way, the chefs on Song's side can relax.
After all, it is not a joke to make food for tens of thousands of people every day. I guess I will not be able to lift my arms every day.
It takes a lot of people to hire vegetable washers every day. Just to wash vegetables, the people nearby, the elderly and some women all come to help, and those who have strength will also help deliver food and so on.
Fortunately, there were these captives, otherwise the pressure on the nearby people would be much greater. After all, building the railway requires a lot of labor. If there are not enough people, it is estimated that there will be corvee.
Although there will be enough money, it is still corvée. Since ancient times, not many people are willing, because this means that they will lose their skin without dying. If they are not very poor, no one will be willing to do this kind of thing.
The Zhu people who came to the door just filled this vacancy. More than 1 people work hard every day, and those who perform well will have different rewards.
If you want a donkey to run, there must be something hanging on it.
The people around Zhao Jue deeply understand this truth. The weather here is relatively hot, so the rewards are generally not food, because food is not durable and can easily go bad.
The rewards are likely to become other items, such as cotton cloth, fitting shoes and other things that can be used in life, or even copper coins.
They are all straw sandals, but they are different from ordinary straw sandals. There is a straw sandal factory in Zhao Jue near here, and there are many workers sewing straw sandals at the same time every day. There are reasonable people, Zhu people, and other places. Men with strong strength do the most basic work of winding straw sandals, while women sew the uppers.
The rest are all done by machinery, and it only needs one person to keep turning it to run. There is no way, the world without electricity can only use human power.
The manpower is also very simple, that is, riding on something similar to a bicycle, stepping on it non-stop, and changing people when you get tired.
In the past, to make the straw rope, at least one person would have to toss for a day, but now there is no need. There are special machines to weave the straw rope. The speed of weaving is not comparable to that of ordinary manpower.
The worker in charge of winding, according to the size of the mold, seals the sole of the shoe and then enters the next process to fix and sew the sole of the straw rope shoe, which is also done by machine.
They are produced in batches, and then the rubber is manually poured into the mold of the sole. Yes, this is produced by the rubber trees that Pang Yu and the others planted earlier. By the way, they also transplanted some small rubber trees when they came here.
They have been planted in Lizhou earlier, hoping that they can adapt to the environment here and thrive. This is why, Li will ask them for help, since they are partners in doing business together.
Only in this way can they have a steady stream of rubber. After all, only a suitable environment can grow good rubber trees.
Anyway, a large area of rubber has been planted in the southern region. This time Zhao Jue came here and brought a batch of rubber tree seedlings to plant.
Rubber can be continuously produced, whether it is made into rubber-soled sandals or other things, it is undoubtedly very practical for people.
Even paving the road there, yes, the cement road here is not as developed as in Bianjing City and other places. Except for the main cities, other places are actually roads made by people.
Especially in Lizhou, it used to be Liguo, and it seems that there is no cement road, because before it was just a cooperation with Liguo, and it was not their Song Dynasty, so naturally they would not build cement roads, but now it is different, it has become a part of Dasong, Concrete roads must be built.
In order not to destroy the characteristics of this place, the craftsmen also worked very hard on the design, because the roads have been repaired in order to renovate the city, so why not renovate?
In the future, when their princess comes to play, it's not good to let him live in a place that is too backward.
Building a house is a little better than building a railway. Anyway, it was just digging the foundation at the beginning. It's not that I don't want to recruit people from Zhu to do the work.
After all, not everyone can learn this foreign language. It is better for craftsmen to find a local who can speak official language, so that they can communicate with the locals conveniently.
Like building a railway, once the basic movements are taught, those Zhu people can learn it no matter how stupid they are, and they also have such stupid strength.
The Zhu people who escaped were all scattered and lived in villages. Some of them were refugees from Yuezhou. They ran to Yuezhou from Temo Road. Unfortunately, they were bullied by Yuezhou people. After being beaten down by Zhao Jue, they were still homeless, so Zhao Jue took them to the vicinity of Shicheng County and built their own village.
People of different ethnic groups are accommodated here. They can use their own beliefs, and no one will interfere with them. Of course, they are not required to interfere with others.
Zhao Jue would come out to inspect the progress from time to time, naturally not to see those swarthy Zhu people, but hoped that the construction speed of the railway would be faster, so that the day when he could see his cub would be closer.
It's because the nephew is too useless, isn't it just those old things, if he doesn't obey, he can be replaced, and his family Ruzhang wants to stay in Bianjing.
He wants to take his cubs to look around, taste the local delicacies, and ride an elephant once.
Elephants are not everywhere. These powerful animals always come to play in places where people live, and steal food.
Of course, there are also people who choose to tame elephants. While helping people to work, people will bear the food and health of the elephants.
If Pang Yu saw this, he might cry out in his heart, this is a national first-class protected animal!
In ancient times, there was obviously no saying to protect animals, only the opposite of human beings for survival.
Those ferocious beasts would not have been treated so well. If it wasn’t for Pang Yu’s good habits, they had encountered some ferocious beasts before. Except for those in groups, basically, the fate of ferocious beasts was to be locked in cages. The first zoo in Bianjing was established.
There is also a zoo in Xiangyang City. Many people can come here to watch various animals. For many people, this is still a relatively novel existence.
It is estimated that these ferocious beasts have never been so speechless in their life, and they were actually locked up for human viewing, but three meals a day are guaranteed, and it can only be said that there is no gain without loss.
Zhao Jue, who was riding on a horse, was quite satisfied with the current progress. Looking at the hard work of those Zhu people, they were allowed to eat extra meals today. Unfortunately, they were still cooks. There were hundreds of cooks in their ranks for the meals of more than 1 people. People use specific big pots, except for the rice bucket for steaming rice, there are some stewed dishes, there is no way, cooking is too embarrassing.
Fortunately, those Zhu people have no obsession with cooking, so cooking is only prepared for the guards.
The food for the Zhu people and the soldiers here is separate.
"That person..." Because Zhao Jue was on Zhuifeng's back, he could easily see what others couldn't see.
"?" The guard looked in the direction of Zhao Jue's gaze, and found that some Zhu country women were struggling to carry the food pot forward.
"Let that person come over." Zhao Jue pointed to one of them and said.
"Here!" The guards didn't ask anything, they went forward to arrest the person. Their target was a young woman from the Zhu country. When the guards came to arrest her, many women from the Zhu country stopped them. They didn't know where they were. say something.
But with their strength, they couldn't stop anything at all, and the guards brought the woman here easily, but they were still wondering, could their lord have taken a fancy to this Zhu man?
Isn't their princess...
Not waiting for them to mutter in their hearts, Zhao Jue said with a cold expression, "Unexpectedly, General Kshatriya would also be among the refugees."
Following Zhao Jue's interpreter, he hurriedly translated to the other party who questioned him.
The guards beside him were startled, it turned out that their lords were not bewitched by beauty, but recognized each other's origins?
"My lord, I don't know what you're talking about." The woman replied in fear, using the language here. Although she had a heavy accent, it didn't prevent them from being able to understand.
"Do you still have to pretend?" Zhao Jue smiled, "Your figure betrays you, ordinary people don't have your strong figure."
It would be too much to use the word robust...
Although the woman is taller and fitter than the other Zhu women, she is not considered strong. She just looks healthier and her complexion is fairer. If it is not for her dirty face, I'm afraid she is also a beauty.
"How did you recognize me?" The other party put away his frightened expression, apparently also annoyed by the word "strong".
It can be said that the aura has changed a lot, Qin Wei said, it would be a pity if you don't go to act.
The crowd was also very curious, even though they could see that there was something wrong with this woman, they couldn't recognize what kind of general she was, wait for the general?
The generals of Zhu they knew, apart from the ones who were captured, seemed to have another general who had escaped from the hands of their lord several times...
!!!
No, is this guy the general? !
Only then did the guards think defensively, as if their lord just said what kind of lord it was.
"I just can't figure it out, why did you throw yourself into the net." Zhao Jue ruthlessly laughed at the other party. After all, he is so stupid, and he probably won't see a few like this in his life.
The guards wanted to nod subconsciously. They had never seen such a stupid person before.
"I want to stay by your side, and then defeat you." The woman said, looking up at Zhao Jue firmly.
???
What is this dangerous statement?
"I refuse." Zhao Jue only said that he was married!Do not touch porcelain!
"Why? Am I not beautiful enough?" The woman naturally refused to give up, even if the guards grabbed her, she still asked.
"Yes." In Zhao Jue's eyes, is there anyone more beautiful than his cub in this world?impossible!
His cubs are unique!
The woman was shocked instantly, but she quickly regained her energy and shouted at Zhao Jue, "I won't give up!"
The guards all wondered if the girl had a habit of being abused. Anyway, this guy can't stay here. Since they are not refugees, why do you still want to take advantage of the protection of refugees?
Under Zhao Jue's order, the personal guards took this guy to the border and expelled him!
It is estimated that the girl has never been so speechless in her life. You must know that the surname of Kshatriya is the second-ranked surname in Zhu. People with this surname are basically soldiers. Kshatriya represents the military and political power of this country. .
This woman can become a general even though she is relatively weak in the Zhu country. It can be said that her family should be very powerful in the Zhu country.
Zhao Jue didn't think that the other party came here because he saw him, but because he was unwilling to defeat him many times and was forced to flee in embarrassment, which was a shame.
Any normal person wouldn't be able to bear it, and it's normal to come to find a place, but she didn't expect that she would be recognized after only a few days after touching her.
After a few days of hard work for nothing, he was ruthlessly thrown out of the border.
The personal guards did not forget to ask those Zhu women, after all, they were the ones who had been with the female general for a few days.
It wasn't until they were exposed that they didn't realize it. No wonder they thought it was weird before. This woman is very unfamiliar with her work, but she has great strength. Now that she thinks about it, it's no wonder she can't work anymore. She has the surname of Kshatriya. It's different from Dasarvar like them.
