The construction of the base in the mountain went very smoothly, and Wang Du was expected to be a reliable person who would do good things with money.
Lin Wanwan has collaborated with him many times and has always been very happy.
In addition to modern steel and concrete, the base design this time also incorporated stone formations laid out in the direction of Erbasu.
The former was invented by Lin Wanwan from modern times, and the latter is Xiao Chong's masterpiece.
When it comes to base construction, Xiao Chong appears to be more attentive than Lin Wanwan, and he rushes to the construction site to personally direct when he has time.
As a craftsman, Wang Duliang was registered with the imperial court and was under the jurisdiction of Xiao Chong. This time he followed Xiao Chong to build Lin Wanwan's base. Both parties benefited a lot.
Xiao Chong practiced the contents in the book, while Wang Duliu helped him supplement the deficiencies, increase feasibility, and also add some new ideas and modern architectural knowledge.
However, Lin Wanwan, the owner of this construction site, is the most lazy. Every time she comes to the construction site, she just checks the progress and doesn't pay much attention to it.
The weather is getting cooler day by day, and fewer people in Linjiazhuang go out to sea during the twice monthly high tides.
On a cold day, most people are not willing to take a dip in the sea, and Lin Wanwan is naturally the same.
Because she passed the clear road on Xiao Chong's side, Lin Wanwan can do whatever she wants in Luan County now.
She built a warehouse on the land that originally belonged to the Wang family and was later bought by her on the outskirts of Xiaoxi Town, specifically for the storage of modern supplies.
The most popular among them is modern rice, of course - it is the cheapest rice in modern times. Lin Wanwan specially went to the wholesale market to buy it because she was shopping for goods in the canteen.
In modern society, there are so many people coming and going. Who in business has nothing to do but stare at others? I just bought a lot of the cheapest rice that will become stale rice in two months. It is not like buying gold and buying a lot of rice.
heap.
The store owner is only happy to sell goods, not nosy.
In the Tang Dynasty, Lin Wanwan dragged carloads of them out of suburban warehouses, swaggeringly transported them to the dock, loaded them on ships, and transported them back to Linjiazhuang.
Because the road was covered with a wide tarpaulin, although it attracted a lot of attention, no one would bother to inquire.
After all, Lin Wanwan is the village monarch, so she is still a bit distant from ordinary people.
However, when it reached Linjiazhuang Pier, it attracted onlookers, and tribesmen gathered around to help carry it.
Lin Wanwan Shiran got off the boat and smiled brightly at the tribe: "We will load it in a carriage and drag it to the workshop square. These are the rice from the south that my senior brother sent us. Let's go and get things from home in exchange. Dried fish and shrimps are all fine.
Money is also fine, four qian per dou rice.”
"Oh! Rice! The rice brought back by Senior Brother Lin!"
Everyone who heard it on the dock couldn't help shouting. Some went to inform people, some helped move the goods, and some surrounded Lin Wanwan and went home.
Lin Wanwan turned to Kunlun and ordered: "Carry a few bags and send them to families who have a newborn baby this year. It's a small token of my gratitude."
Kunlun said "Huh", nodded, and got into the crowd of people moving goods.
Several women in the clan have given birth this year. Lin Mengbo's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, gave birth to a boy in February this year.
Lin Wanwan gave him a Ruyi golden lock as a belated confinement gift.
After Lin Mengbo learned about it, he came to return it once. A handful of gold locks was worth their family's belongings, so he did not dare to accept it anyway.
Or Lin Wanwan said: "I only have you clan members left now. The Lin family will have to get up sooner or later. If I don't help you, who will I help?"
In the end, Lin Mengbo accepted the golden lock, then turned around and gave Lin Wanwan the golden anchovy maw that his family had just obtained this year.
Lin Wanwan naturally smiled and accepted.
She not only gave gold locks to the children of Lin Mengbo's family, but also to all the newborn families in the clan.
What everyone can give her feedback on is basically seafood, mostly isinglass.
Although Lin Wanwan did not directly give gold to her clan members, Linjiazhuang would develop sooner or later at this rate of development.
But she was impatient and wanted to add some fuel.
After a trip to Chang'an, she found that her strength was still too weak and needed to be developed. As her natural community of interests, her tribe was naturally listed as the primary support target.
The rice she sells to the clan is all polished rice produced through modern rice milling technology. It requires one more process than the common rice milling technology in the Tang Dynasty (it's not that the Tang Dynasty didn't know this technology, but it was reluctant to grind it more), so the taste is naturally the same.
Incomparable.
Moreover, she sold it at a very favorable price, so she sold it to the tribe for four cents per dou of rice recorded in the history books during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Wanwan's actions were naturally impossible to hide from Xiao Chong. The latter had been very excited after hearing her say that there was so much food in modern times that it was impossible to eat it all.
This time, I heard that Lin Wanwan's "senior brother" had shipped rice from the south to her again to carry out a large-scale grain transfer. Xiao Chong not only did not expose it, but also tried his best to help her fill in the loopholes and rationalize everything.
Of course, Xiao Chong did this not just to please Lin Wanwan, but to make the other party help the public while distributing supplies to the Lin family village.
Although Luan County already has sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes after Xiao Chong's two-year promotion of high-yielding crops.
But in general, because there are too many saline-alkali lands and the per capita arable area is too small, there are still many poor people in Xiao Chong's jurisdiction who cannot feed themselves.
Xiao Chong cooperated with Lin Wanwan, he helped her rationalize the sources, and she helped the court to move some modern food.
Then Xiao Chong used the new rice to exchange for more old rice in the warehouse, and subsidized this grain in the form of paid labor to the poor people who worked all year round and still couldn't fill their stomachs.
At least no one in Luang County will die of starvation. Even a wanderer can get food in exchange for his efforts.
When the mountain people hiding in the mountains heard about this, many of them spontaneously left the mountains and walked out. Xiao Chong naturally converted them all into civilians.
Because Shanyan has enough manpower, the progress has been accelerated a lot.
When the Taishan weir is completed, Luan County will be spared the pain of seawater intrusion and will have countless fertile fields.
At that time, according to the land equalization system, those families who have insufficient land will be re-granted land, and the famine in Luan County will be completely solved.
In order to complete this matter, Xiao Chong had no plans to be promoted and leave in a short period of time.
It is difficult to be promoted, but it is very easy for a direct descendant of the Lanling Xiao family to be promoted.
In short, through the combined swords of Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong, her senior brother "Zhen Shiyin" who saw the dragon but never saw its end, can be regarded as a great achievement.
Now Luan County is basically under Xiao Chong's control, and even the governor of Yuezhou cannot get involved - even though Luan County is affiliated to Yuezhou.
It’s the slack season in late autumn, and the people in Linjiazhuang are reluctant to eat dry rice. Corn porridge and sweet potato porridge are increasingly appearing on everyone’s tables.
But since Lin Wanwan transported truckloads of rice back to Linjiazhuang and sold it to the tribe at a low price, everyone's life has become more and more comfortable.
