I am engaged in construction in Datang

The scene of the oath-taking ceremony was shocking. Not only were the speeches of outstanding student representatives so exciting, but the embellishment of that poem also pushed the atmosphere of Chang'an City to a climax.

The most direct manifestation is that there are more and more pro-war factions among the people.

"Down with Tuyuhun! I am willing to donate one string of coins!" A man who seemed to be full of energy blocked the door of Liuweizhai and insisted on giving Li Xiaochun one string of coins.

"I'll donate too, I'll donate too!" The people who were originally queuing up to buy snacks suddenly became a mess and crowded forward, wanting to donate money.

Now everyone knows that Nuzhuang is the spokesperson for the person above!

When everyone has a good life, they will naturally side with the one in the upper position.

Li Xiaochun wiped the sweat from his forehead, helpless.

"Fellow villagers, listen to me!"

The people gradually quieted down and listened to Madam Xiaochun's words.

"As long as we ordinary people live a good life, the Tang Dynasty will get better and better. As for the donation, some famous families and businessmen have already donated money! The soldiers on the front line have plenty of supplies and can eat meat every day. So the village cannot ask for your money. If you really want to contribute, just buy two kilograms of snacks!"

"Mrs. Xiaochun, who donated the money? We all want to know!" asked an aunt.

We can’t allow good people to do good things without leaving their names.

Li Xiaochun smiled and said, "Everyone will know in a few days."

……

"Master, the printing press is ready." Feng Sanxi came hurriedly. They already had the most advanced papermaking workshop in the world and were just waiting for the printing press to appear.

The printing presses at that time could not do what they did later. Li Yin made some improvements based on the rotary printing press. He added a roller for adding ink and a cylinder wrapped with rubber cloth. Most of the machine body was made of iron, and the casting mold alone was enough to drive people crazy.

This is actually the simplest offset printing. The efficiency of movable type is too slow. What we use now is movable type. Although it adds a certain degree of flexibility, the efficiency is not high enough for large-scale work such as printing newspapers.

The village made this rubber cloth hundreds and thousands of times, and the craftsmen cried while making it.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

Li Yin was also anxious. She had wanted to make this thing when she first arrived, but the technology was too advanced and she had never been able to do it.

It has been almost half a year since I came here (Li Yin came at the end of January and it is already May now), and finally there is something that makes Li Yin feel that she is not too far away from the modern world.

In the printing house, the villagers hugged each other and cried bitterly.

These very important things have always been made by the villagers themselves, such as soap, alcohol, matches, cement... When there is not enough manpower, they buy slaves and sign life and death contracts.

There were only 100 Qianniu guards outside the manor, but at several important workshops, Li Shimin directly arranged the Black Armor Army to guard them day and night.

Those outsiders can't get out at all. The place is big enough and they can eat, drink and live inside.

Only the people in the village can go out relying on their faces. No one looks at their ID cards, and faces are more reliable than ID cards.

When Li Yin arrived, everyone had calmed down.

"Have you tried it? How is the efficiency?" Li Yin put in the pre-made printing plate: "Is there any wire interface left?"

"About 2000 photos per hour. We tried using manpower and oxen, and later we used wind power and water power." Li Xiaomiao could not hide his excitement: "Using oxen is the most stable, and using water power is the lowest cost and most cost-effective, but if we have electricity as mentioned in the book, it would be even better!"

It's already very impressive, printing one thousand sheets of newspaper per hour. If we make a few more machines, we can print one or two hundred thousand newspapers every day.

The printing press started working, and sheets of quarto paper were printed out, then taken away and cut by workers on the side.

This time, what was printed was not a newspaper, but a barefoot doctor handbook. The booklet was relatively small, and everyone was reluctant to waste the printing machine on small paper, so they had to print it on large paper and then cut it after printing.

Soon, the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual (Lingnan Road)" appeared in Li Yin's hands.

The cover is red with a big watermark of Tang characters, the title of the book is in black, and the publisher below is the Tang Dynasty Court, and the co-publisher and printer is Nu Zhuang.

The handwriting inside is extremely clear, and some of them even come with illustrations to help others recognize herbs.

"Everyone in the printing factory should have the priority to build a cement house!" The people in the village are not short of money. It is useless to give them money. It is better to use the cement house that everyone is coveting as a reward.

As for those who cannot move freely, they are happy too.

The things they have made show that they are becoming more and more important. Maybe they will have the opportunity to join the women's village in the future!

What's more, here you have food and clothes, and they pay you. You just don't have to run around. It's much better than before when you had no food to eat and were beaten.

"Ow!"

"The owner is generous!"

"Add chicken legs today!"

……

Everyone in Chang'an City discovered that Nu Zhuang had secretly opened a shop.

The larger one is called the Datang Library, and the smaller one next to it is called the Datang Publishing House.

Some sharp-eyed people discovered that Nuzhuang was still buying shops next to the library, paying a higher price. The masters behind the scenes were willing to do Nuzhuang a favor, so they sold them all.

Then people started pulling cement here in truckloads.

The woman in the village is going to overturn the house again.

"Hire workers, hire workers! The women's farm is hiring people to build houses! Women are needed to cook and wash dishes, and the wages are not low!"

Shouts from the villagers could be heard at various city gates, but not as many as before.

It’s not that people are not interested, but there is no one in Chang’an City!

All those who can work have been taken away by the women farmers. There is no labor force left. Now other people’s restaurants and shops can’t find anyone to work.

So everyone started paying more.

"It's troublesome." Li Yin sighed. As wages increase, prices will definitely increase. If the increase is too fast, it will not be a good thing.

The situation she was most worried about happened.

"We have to ask my brother to release the travel permits to support people from other places to come to Chang'an to work." Li Yin was in the side room in the backyard of Liuweizhai at this time.

Liuweizhai started selling beer, with one liter costing only 10 cents. The men loved to come and buy one liter after work, and pair it with the spicy braised chicken feet, braised liver, braised lung slices, etc. sold by the snack stalls. Several people could brag about it for a long time.

Rich families also wanted to buy it, but they had to negotiate with Lupin because Liuweizhai couldn't produce the goods they wanted.

The brewery in Lu's has been established. The beer is cheap and tastes great. When paired with Zhuangzi's barbecue stall, it is simply a delicacy.

"Send the letter to my brother." Li Yin sealed the letter and handed it to the eunuch Li Yi who stayed here to record it.

After Li Yi left, Li Yin began to think about low-rent housing. She didn't want to leave people without a place to live when people from other places came.

"Uncle Sanxi, where do you think we can build a densely populated residential area?" She planned to build small apartments, like school dormitories, but each person would have a room with space only enough for a bed, a table, a chair and a cabinet.
