Poor family mother and son

Chu Qing waved away the bitterness, and said confidently: "The tall buildings are built on the ground, and you can make a fortune by yourself. Just do it!"

Fortunately, Zhuo Buqun, who loves to kneel, did not follow, otherwise Chu Qing would have knelt down.

Now that Chu Qing is standing with the backlight like this, with one hand stretched out into the distance, the whole body is covered by the sun, as if emitting a halo from his body, that image is really more magical than Shui Mao Mao!

Although Chao Liu wanted to move because Li Hu, who was allergic to seafood, wanted to move, but he was not too anxious. The main reason was that there were still a lot of wood in the base, most of which had been stored for more than two years and were dry enough.

If you don’t take it with you when you move, if you leave it unattended, you will be exposed to the rain, and the protection for so long is in vain; but if you take it with you, it is a whole log tens of meters long, and it is really inconvenient to transport.

Thinking of moving, someone has to cut wood and prepare the land before building some temporary shelters. Only when all the people are here can the construction of the house start. He might as well stay in the sweet potato base and use up all the wood.

The most important thing is that he is eager to turn the clear blueprint into a real thing!

He wanted to verify with his own hands what the "keel structure" that Chu Qing said was, how it could play the role of support and fixation, and what kind of material was better.

I also want to verify the effect that the "watertight compartment" can achieve.

Chao Liu did what he said, and got Xiaobao's strong support.

Building a safe big boat for mother to return is what Little Treasure cares most about right now.

Xiaobao, who has only lived for 14 years, knows the truth of the value of life better than anyone else. The dangers at sea, especially the dangers encountered by his mother who came to find him under the prestige of the "Eight Winds", made him eagerly look forward to Have a safe means of transportation.

Although there are mother's blueprints, Chao Liu still needs a lot of calculations in order to make the finished product.

Niangqin's drawing can only be regarded as a schematic diagram, without the data of each part, which requires Chao Liu to design according to experience and usage needs.

And the measurement, angle, interval, etc. of each component need to be calculated, because this is the first time to build a "watertight cabin", and everything has to be explored.

Calculation is definitely a big problem in the current era.

In particular, the calculation results must be converted to meet industry standards. These are things that my mother can't help, and Chao Liu is also struggling.

These problems are all solved by Xiaobao.

Many people are easy to work with.

Everyone on the base who is free will help, cut the wood according to the data calculated by Xiaobao, bake the shape, and Xiaobao also uses leftover materials to make a ship model in proportion.

In Chuqing's world, it is difficult to buy a whole log more than ten feet long, but it is not a problem on the island, even Chao Liu sighed: "In the shipyard, such a long whole log is rare, and the cost is too high , don't let it be used!"

Chao Liu and Xiaobao worked very well together, and Li Hu also practiced his old skills, installing the keel and leading his apprentices—there are so many young guys who can't spare all their energy but can't exert themselves and work hard. ah.

Over the years, the Chu family has already passed the stage of finishing one thing and then doing another. Instead, they have learned to improve efficiency and do several things at the same time.

Just like a chef cooks, when stewing time-consuming ingredients in a pot, instead of waiting for the stew to finish before making the next dish, it is interspersed with hot and cold dishes at the same time. When the stew is cooked, all the tables are ready.

Therefore, the number of teams that Chu Qing took out gradually decreased. As Chu Qing made every front station, a part was left for preliminary construction, such as enclosing land, digging canals to divert water, and initially establishing the foundation of the village.

On Xiaobao's side, he also started to follow the information brought back by the golden eagles and headed to Chuqing's station.

Everything is busy but not chaotic, complicated and orderly.

On the other hand, the Daxuan court, during this period of time, was a bit overwhelmed, flustered, confused, confused, and pressed the gourd to pick up the gourd.

All the state capitals are reaching out to the imperial court for money to relieve the disaster, so that the little money raised is not enough.

It's not that so much money is not enough to buy food to allow the victims to survive the one or two months, but that they can't buy food!
Just because the Fourth Prince and Zheng Chunqiu cheated, big merchants resisted one after another—if there is no food, if they want money, they will clearly mark the price!
Even small and medium-sized merchants can afford the price of cheap grain offered by the imperial court, but what is the price of grain now?Coarse grains have reached 250 Wen per bucket.

But even if the imperial court asked the merchants to pay according to the market price, it was still a drop in the bucket, and the grain merchants even took the opportunity to drive up the price of grain.

Under such circumstances, even conscientious merchants dare not sell grain at a low price, because as soon as the front foot is sold, it is bought by other grain merchants.

Therefore, even a conscientious grain merchant can only be coerced into raising the price of grain, because compared with bankruptcy, in this year when grain prices are flying around, it is obvious that his conscience is only disturbed by him, but bankruptcy is The whole family has no way out.

Not only grain merchants, but also salt merchants have also stepped up to make troubles.

Several sea salt farms were destroyed. The sea salt farms that could impact Daxuan’s table salt with both quality and quantity are over. Many roads in the south were flooded and blocked. Isn’t it the world of well salt, rock salt, and lake salt?
The salt merchants, whose morale has been depressed for a long time, are finally shaking again!
Not only that, but the salt merchants also refused to collect donations because they hadn’t made any money for more than a year—“We can’t even afford food ourselves, and we still need relief!”

Now it is no longer a contest between the emperor and the family, but a confrontation between the merchant group and the imperial court.

Because the aristocratic families are also struggling now, and they have a lot of fields, whether it is grain fields, mulberry gardens, or tea gardens, most of them are in the south with sufficient water sources.

When the "eight winds" crossed the border, their fields were also uprooted, submerged, and damaged a lot, and the tenants even fled with their families and left the local area.

One of the three elements of the means of production, laborers are missing, there is land and no people, and I don’t know what will happen in the coming year, no matter how famous the family is, he is also afraid.

Before the wave subsided, another wave came to invade, and the country of Voss came into chaos again!
The sneak attack failed, and they said that they would pay tribute in advance. Do you want to agree to their coming?

To say that it was a time of shortage of money, it was just right for them to come to pay tribute, 30 taels of silver, although not too much in the current disaster, but it can also be used to buy a lot of food.

But they have already shown that they can also fight with gunpowder, so how can they still come to give money in a down-to-earth manner?Maybe what moths come to mind!
More people began to think clearly.

It's clear, that's a person who wants money and money, food and food, doesn't that person like to show off?In the year of the locust plague, didn't she stand up and do something to stabilize food prices?

What about people?Why don't you stand up this time?

What do you mean the "eight winds" were swept away?We don't believe it, we need her now!

Even if this person doesn't pay or pay this time, it would be good to let her come back to scare King Voss!
