Chapter 930 "Sow a grain of millet in spring" (1)

Finally, before the beginning of summer, they determined the location of the mining area, but they did not expand. No one was a fool. The fourth prince wanted to fool the Woth people by relying on his cleverness, but it didn't work.

The first thing they did when they arrived at the mining area was to paint the boundary sign "Baoqingsheng" painted by Chu Qing on the mountain at that time and change it to the word "Xuan".

The second thing is...

"The Fourth Prince, the official believes that you should use gunpowder first, and wait until it is blown to a place where it cannot be blown, and then sow the seeds." Zheng Chunqiu suggested.

The fourth prince brought a large bag of bamboo seeds. He was looking for gaps to sow, and was preparing to use the "life power" of the seeds to mine jade like the "homework" he did in advance.

My father said that if you want to talk about the strength of seeds, bamboo should be the strongest.

Because as soon as the bamboo comes out, no matter whether it is the bed board, roof, or courtyard wall, it can be loosened and broken, and the speed is extremely fast, and it can grow by about one foot in a day.

But Zheng Chunqiu's suggestion is also correct, because it takes a few days to sow seeds before germination, so it is better to use gunpowder to explode first.

The discussion and dialogue between the two made the workers feel so fragile—

"Brother, you are from the south. You should know how long it takes for the bamboo to sprout, right? I am from the north and don't understand, but no matter how you figure it out, it doesn't seem like you can grow it casually."

"Brother, you're right. It takes half a month for the seedlings of bamboo to emerge..."

"That's not too slow. Can the seedlings grow into big bamboos when they come out?"

"How is that possible! It takes five or six years from the emergence of seedlings to the growth of big bamboo! We use the method of transplanting bamboo roots to produce bamboo shoots in two years, and it will be enough to produce bamboo shoots in two months."

"Shhh... You two are quiet, can the prince be wrong?"

"Why can't the prince be wrong... Oh oh, I understand, I understand!"

"Oh, just do whatever you want, just hope to go back alive."

"Oh, I wouldn't have come if I had known that they were doing this!"

"I heard that the Chu family was not so unrestricted when they started mining."

"I didn't listen to the guys in Baoqingsheng. I was a little tired of working, but they ate well and picked a lot of jade, so I had hope every day!"

"You said, when their family was recruiting workers that year, why didn't I think about going?"

"That's not our fault. The magistrate didn't tell me that I could go there, but I had just had a locust plague the past year, so I had to plant the food first, otherwise what would I eat?"

"Our county told me that too, alas, I knew it if I had known..."

"Come on, I know it before. I haven't heard that sentence. I know it before I have money!"

"Shh! You guys are looking for death!"

The foreman gave the task - to chisel the gun hole and then stuffed the gunpowder bag in.

Chiseling a gun hole is a painful process.

Because the mountain rocks are extremely hard and can only be chiseled bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, in the past, five people and the others could only chisel less than three feet deep in a day.

The workers all had their mouths broken and they didn't dare to speak.

In this way, five days passed, several gun holes were chiseled, and the workers complained more.

They also complain constantly when working in China, but no matter how hard or tired they are, they can go home at least once every few days, and get the care and comfort of their relatives.

Nowadays, in a foreign country, my heart has no place to support me, and my sorrow is rarely comforted. All the hardships are magnified ten times or a hundred times.

But even with such a working experience, the results are extremely low.

Their gunpowder is either difficult to ignite by moisture or does not loosen the hard rocks.

Nowadays, the entry investigation of the country of Vos is extremely strict, and it is difficult to smuggle gunpowder in, so they have no room to waste.

The damp-caking gunpowder had to be reclaimed. First, put it in the pot and roast it on low heat, then take it out and dry it, and you also have to knock it loose with a hammer.

How dangerous is this? Just look at the dead and injured workers. I won’t talk about the dead. If you don’t die, you will have to break your hands and arms, and you will lack medical treatment and medicine. How long can you last?

"Waste! Your Ministry of Works is all waste!" The Fourth Prince shouted angrily.

The mining of mountain jade is only about four months a year, and wasting a day is a huge loss.

The fourth prince's anger seemed to burn Zheng Chunqiu to the point of being exhausted: "Don't explode when it should explode! The things you made are not conscientious than that cannon! It is special for blowing up places that should not be exploded!"

Fortunately, this is not the only way to mine jade. The fourth prince, who was angry but not yet unreasonable, decisively chose to scatter bamboo seeds into the cracks of the rocks and fill the soil in his hometown.

If the east is not bright, the west is bright. This move is not effective.

The Fourth Prince hopes that if a seed is planted, thousands of bamboo seedlings will grow.

The workers didn't find this move speechless at this time.

When sowing, they have to wait for germination. They can finally suffer less and rest for a few days.

Linyang County.

Starting this year, Linyang County has an additional festival - "May Day Linyang Labor Children's Day".

This festival was initiated and implemented from the county orphanage. At the same time, the orphanage was officially renamed "Hope Primary School".

This incident was inspired by Xu Guangze's event to commemorate the tombs of martyrs on the Qingming Festival. To be precise, it was quickly decided by the people who came to commemorate the tombs.

This year's Qingming Festival memorial service was held very successfully.

On the sand jujube trees on both sides of the flat "Xuanhua Road", there are many placards hanging by the county government, such as "The martyrs' ambitions of horses and corpses, and the good news is passed down from their parents' hearts", "The green mountains and clear waters will keep the spirit of life; the green cypresses and pines can comfort the heroic spirits after their death", etc.

There are many paintings, which show the scenes of these heroes fighting with their enemies.

Although the people who painted these paintings did not see the battle scenes at that time in person, and could not draw the artillery fires that were all the heroic spirit of the people holding farm tools to fight against the enemy in Vos, or the determination of their close combat, they fully reflected the spirit of indomitableness and swearing to defend their country to the death.

Every other text slogan, there is a propaganda poster, which always stirs up an indescribable sigh and sense of responsibility in the hearts of the people walking along the road.

Xu Guangze also invited all the "propaganda tour guides" when Xuanhua Road was just built to explain the slogans and pictures along the way.

The road is drawn with white lines as the lane boundary, with an arrow leading to the monument on the right, and a return arrow on the left, indicating people to pass to the right.

There are street stalls selling incense, candles and paper money on both sides of the road, and food and gadgets. The prices are not expensive, but they are not allowed to be sold loudly.

People who are willing to burn incense can buy incense, and those who are willing to burn paper money can also buy in places.

There are also some snacks and snacks. People can go down the mountain to stroll here after worshiping. Even on weekdays, this will be a good place to go shopping.

No matter whether it is up and down the mountain, except for the Chu family's cotton field, there were barren mountains and wastelands in the past, and there was a natural scenery.

Now Xuanhua Road is flat and sturdy, and the surrounding land that has been bombarded has also been leveled, making it a great scenery for people to visit.
