Chapter 209 Chapter 207
"I'm going to write a letter. You have someone send it to Su Shangshu's mansion in the capital. Feiyu is still waiting in Wenning County. These days, people continue to collect grain. This granary must be built well."

Song Yuanxuan responded, but he thought in his heart that these practical matters should be left to Nanfeng and Jia Zheng.

It’s just that there is limestone, which can not only absorb moisture and prevent moisture, but also make the granary bigger so that more grain can be stored.

The most lacking thing in this era is actually people. He built this city with the original purpose of building a breeding farm, and building some bases to produce various goods.

But after coming to Li County, he discovered cement, and only then did he have more ideas. It would be even better if more people could be attracted here.

There is no need to repair the city gate at Luoshenjian, the focus is still here, he plans to name this newly built city Zhili City.

"The storehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace."

He wanted to feed more people, so that Zhili City could absorb more people.

After writing the letter, Song Yuanxuan sat in the living room. The house is actually not bad, it is very big, and it can be seen that the bandit leader is also very good at enjoying it.

Feng Yungu sat beside Song Yuanxuan, she took off her veil, her face was snow-white, free from dust.

"I'll get a basin of water to wash your face." Feng Yun Gu said softly.

Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly and said, "It's really comforting to have Yun Gu wash my face!"

Feng Yungu was also used to his rhetoric, so he didn't speak, got up and walked out.

There was a well in the yard, Feng Yungu fetched water directly, and then lit firewood to burn it.

Song Yuanxuan looked at it thoughtfully, it is really inconvenient to use earthen pots to boil water in this era, and it is time to make some iron pots, which are convenient and clean.

That being said, there are still a lot of things he has to do next.

Thinking of this, he thought of those craftsmen from the Firearms Department, and he had to meet them later, give them some advice, and always give them some guidance.

After washing his face, the sky was about to darken, Song Yuanxuan took a look, there was still a wooden barrel in the house, everything was ready, he said softly: "Yun Gu, I'll go out first, you can take a bath by yourself.

For a while, I will arrange people to stay here, and I will also have people prepare dinner. Although the place is simple, the environment is really good, and it always makes people feel relaxed and happy. "

"You can go, but you don't need to arrange these things, I will let someone do it." Feng Yun Gu said softly.

Song Yuanxuan was startled, then raised his eyebrows and said: "It's better for Yun Gu to treat me well, I'm in charge of outsiders, and you are in charge of insiders. Is this really Mrs. Song?"

Feng Yun took a blank look at him, turned around and left, but the corners of his mouth were hooked, showing a bit of complacency.

Song Yuanxuan went out and inquired about it, and only then did he know where some people from the Firearms Department were inside.

This is also doing things according to his orders. He attaches great importance to the firearms department, so the firearms department has been protected. He hasn't done anything these days, just getting familiar with the environment here.

In the distance, someone was already digging the foundation, along the river bank, working very hard.

When Song Yuanxuan walked into some houses behind, a group of soldiers who were practicing saluted him with respect.

"You don't need to be too polite. Practice hard and try to kill a few bandits." Song Yuanxuan nodded to them.

Several people responded, and a soldier said cheerfully: "Don't worry, young master, we just want to kill all the bandits and never let them appear in our county again."

Song Yuanxuan smiled, and walked into a house on one side.

This piece of house is not small, surrounded by a courtyard, in the side room, a group of people are sitting there discussing something.

Song Yuanxuan walked over, and only then did he understand that they were discussing the modification of muskets. This group of people belonged to the Firearms Department, and they could not only make gunpowder, but also muskets.

A man in his 40s was talking there: "Since we are the young master's people, we have to do something. If we continue to study gunpowder, we have to open the furnace to make this musket."

"Uncle Teng, we all listen to you. You used to be the head of the firearms department and knew everything. Now you still have to control us. We will do whatever we are asked to do."

Someone raised his voice, and Song Yuanxuan's heart skipped a beat, maybe this person is the very powerful craftsman Fan Zhuangzhuang mentioned.

When several people saw Song Yuanxuan, they stood up at the same time. Uncle Teng bowed to him and said, "Sir, I am Tengchong, who is the gentleman?"

"I'm Song Yuanxuan. I just heard you talking about firearms, and I have some thoughts in my mind." Song Yuanxuan said softly.

A group of people were stunned, then knelt on the ground at the same time, and raised their voices: "I have seen the young master!"

"Get up!" Song Yuanxuan hurriedly helped up a few people.

Several people got up and moved a chair for him, he sat down slowly, then told the gunpowder formula he knew, looked at Tengchong and said: "Tengchong, this formula is very important, you must not disclose it.

It's just that my idea is to use this recipe to make some gunpowder to mine stones, and then you must modify the musket to make it stronger so as not to explode. "

"Don't worry, young master. We will start to do things in the next two days. We have been here for a few days. We have been idle and feel a little uncomfortable."

Tengchong said cheerfully, and Song Yuanxuan nodded and said: "Divide the people here into several groups, and each group handles different parts. I think this may improve efficiency.

Also, if there is a shortage of people, you can recruit here. I give priority to the people you like. In any case, the Firearms Department is currently the most important department in my opinion.

From now on, the Department of Firearms will be renamed the Department of Fire. When the new city is completed, I will give you a separate space where you can conduct more experiments.

Have you received all your money?Don't think you don't need it now, after a while, this place will become prosperous and life will be more convenient, then more people will come, and you can buy whatever you want. "

Tengchong nodded and said, "Master, we all got the money, and we will be satisfied with food and drink in the future."

"It's still early, you guys should work hard, and when the first batch of houses are built, I'll give you a set, so that you can live more comfortably."

Song Yuanxuan waved his hand, and Tengchong quickly responded: "Then thank you, young master! We will do our best to do things for young master in the future."

"Okay, you guys continue to study. I'll go back now. If you need anything, just talk to Jia Zheng. He will be the county magistrate here from now on, in charge of internal affairs."

Song Yuanxuan responded, then got up and walked out.

Tengchong led a group of people to send him out, and only then did someone say, "Uncle Teng, the young master is really handsome!"

"The most important thing is that you are really kind to us, like a spring breeze, and you must do good things for the young master in the future!"

Hearing the chattering voices, Tengchong turned his head and took a look, then waved his hands and said: "Let's go, we're done! You see, those soldiers are digging the foundation, we can't be idle.

Everyone belongs to the young master, why should we just idle around here?Anyway, we have what we want now, and we have a lot of money. Even if the child wants to go back to the capital in the future, he will have money to buy a Zhuangzi. "

A group of people responded with enthusiasm.

 Three more!Ask for a few tickets. On the first day of this month, the number of votes is dismal, and I feel panic!
