Traveling through ancient times.
Chapter 77 Daily life
Over at the pottery workshop, Jiang Yizhou asked his second brother Tao to continue making bricks and tiles and storing them.
Because if we take over that saline-alkali land now, it will definitely require a lot of manpower for construction in the future.
It is several miles away from Yunshan Farm, and there are several hills in between. It would be impossible to go back and forth every day.
Therefore, dormitories, workshops, etc. will have to be built at that time. Even though the walls can be built with stones, bricks and tiles will still be used on the roofs and some special places.
The last time Xiao Tongzi helped Jiang Yizhou analyze the soil, he also checked the stones on the barren hills and found that most of them were limestone, gypsum, etc.
This made Jiang Yizhou think of cement...
When the time comes to build a cement factory and construct dormitories, a large amount of bricks and tiles will be needed.
Some of the original employees of the pottery workshop complained privately that they used to be pottery craftsmen, but now they have become brick-making people.
In the past, Master Ning had said that he wanted to convert the pottery workshop into a brick kiln, but they resisted the pressure and did not make the change.
But now, it has been changed by Miss Jiang... the head of the family.
There are also some who are more open-minded and say that changing now will not be the same as changing before.
In the past, they changed because they were afraid of losing their jobs. But now, their salaries are the same as before, they can get bonuses, and they eat better than before. No matter how you calculate it, their lives are much better than before.
When Jiang Yizhou heard these discussions, he called everyone together for a meeting and made it clear that not only would the pottery workshop not be cancelled, but it would be made bigger and stronger in the future.
Now letting pottery workshops make bricks and tiles is just a temporary solution.
If it were anyone else, Jiang Yizhou would definitely let them think whatever they wanted.
But these people are different. They are the old people that Uncle Tao helped to raise. They did not leave the Jiang family when it was in the most difficult time. Of course, it may also be that they did not have a better place to go. But no matter what, Jiang Yizhou had to accept this favor. In front of everyone, as the head of the Jiang family, she brought up the issue and expressed her attitude.
In this way, these people finally put their minds at ease and worked more steadily and steadily.
On the other hand, the two pottery shops in Fusong Town had slow business, so one of them was turned into Jiang’s grain station.
There are currently no high-quality wheat or corn seeds in the grain station, but there are seasonal fruits and vegetables almost every day.
These fruits and vegetables are also larger and sweeter than ordinary ones, and are more affordable.
Therefore, the business here is much better than that of the pottery shop on the other side. After deducting the costs, the business can earn half a tael of silver every day.
People had heard about the high-yield wheat and corn a long time ago, so many people came to make reservations, and also bought some of these ordinary fruit and vegetable seeds.
One can imagine how booming the business here will be when the next harvest comes.
...Jiang Yizhou is now gradually delegating power to his subordinates.
Every day she would take a walk in the fields or stroll around the workshop.
The rest of the time is either spent practicing boxing, reading, or going to Yunshan Academy to teach classes to the young guys who have been recruited from the future intelligence organization.
Anyway, apart from teaching them some literacy and math, they are also taught to be loyal and so on.
In addition, Jiang Yizhou would occasionally bring Liao Qi along to teach these children some self-defense techniques.
If the time is right, she will bring Yunxin, Yucui, Wei Ke, Zhang Ni, Zhang Danniu, Xia He Qiuju and others over to learn.
She feels that this era is particularly unfriendly to women. In addition to institutional bias, there is also the fundamental factor of physical constitution.
Although practicing martial arts cannot fundamentally make you as strong as men, at least you will no longer be weak and vulnerable, and you will know how to protect yourself in critical moments.
These children originally thought that they were sold by their relatives, and then, like those who served as slaves to others, they would live a life worse than pigs and dogs.
However, they never expected that after they came here, not only would they have good food and drink, but the head of the Jiang family would even hire a teacher to teach them how to read and write.
With their already simple hearts and daily ideological training, they are now grateful to their master Jiang Yizhou and are completely convinced of his presence.
Jiang Yizhou was very pleased to see the performance of these children.
Soon, she won't have to be so closed off like she is now. She will be able to know what's going on in the world while sitting at home!
Of course, Wei Ke is by her side now.
Although Jiang Yizhou did not return to the Jiang family's old house to "take charge of the situation", she was always paying attention to any movement there.
Because Qi Hao formally expressed his intention to "cooperate" with her last time, Wei Ke brought more and more detailed news every time he came back from Fusong Town.
——Ning Jianren is truly a man of great mental strength. Even though his body was disabled, he did not collapse.
After his injuries healed, he went to Zezhou as Qi Hao said.
Qi Hao said he didn't know why Miss Jia wanted him to go even though she knew he had "lost power".
Jiang Yizhou said, whatever. Anyway, she already knew the truth. If she still plunged into it, it would not be her fault if she was completely overturned and implicated in the future.
After Ning Jianren left, the old house was indeed in a mess.
Uncle Jiang San wanted to take the property to his own family in the name of his daughter Jiang Zijun. But those servants were not vegetarians either, and the two sides fought to the death.
Jiang Zijun is going to give birth in a month or so, and with the support of her parents' family, she has established her authority in the house.
Therefore, she had been trying to curry favor with Jiang Yian before, and she had many dissatisfactions in her heart, which now burst out.
It can be imagined that Jiang Yian was living in dire straits in the Jiang residence.
But no matter how bad his life was, fortunately these people didn't dare to really kill him.
The news that Wei Ke brought back said: It was said that the little guy often ran to the middle courtyard where Jiang Yizhou used to live, and then knelt at the steps in front of the door, crying loudly, "Mom, mom, why don't you come back to see me, do you really not want me? Mom, I miss you so much, mom, please come back soon, mom——"
It was said that the evil servants in the house could not bear to hear the miserable cries, and they said openly or secretly that Jiang Yizhou was not worthy of being a woman or a mother.
So what if you are doing well outside? In the end, you can't even hold down your husband and don't even want your son. You are still a failure.
Of course, these words are just spread among these people and have no effect on the general situation outside.
But this child went there and cried every day, and cried so much that many people couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
After all, people's memory of pain is not long-lasting unless they open the wound again and again.
For others, it is even easier to forget.
So much so that when Wei Ke conveyed the news, his tone gradually changed. Perhaps, after experiencing so many things, the child really changed. After all, he was just a child.
Of course, she didn't say this out loud.
Every time Jiang Yizhou heard the news, he just nodded lightly, his heart calm.
In her opinion, the child was not only inherently evil, but also very smart.
