Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 73 Design of Ziyu Pavilion Sun Xinzhan
Hu Taigong asked: "What do you plan to do next?"

"I plan to repair the four watchtowers first and build the market. In addition, I also plan to open a store of my own in the market to sell some medicines and groceries."

"If it's just a market, I don't know how long it will take to attract customers, but if I have my own shop to intervene, as long as my shop is done well, I can attract customers from all over the world."

Hu Taigong nodded: "That's a good idea."

"The other thing is the security of this market. After building the watchtower, I, the farmer of Sun Family Village, have to train. The only problem is that there are too few people under my command who know martial arts. My three apprentices are all good fighters. Unfortunately, I have more than enough martial arts but don't understand. Formation, if you really want them to train Zhuang Ke to guard Zhuang Zi, it's still not ready."

Hearing this, Hu Taigong said: "Isn't your master Zhou Tong also in Dengzhou? He has so many talents under his command, you just need to tell him, isn't it easy to find some people who know how to deploy troops?"

Sun Xin smiled wryly: "Master wanted me to go with him to the outside of Dengzhou city to teach me some martial arts. I didn't go. I'm afraid he is not very happy to see me now."

Hu Taigong also laughed on his face when he heard this, "Your master's martial arts is indeed high, but I have heard that he is quite stubborn, and so is he. You have such a big Zhuangzi, why do you want to learn that little martial arts? "

Sun Xin didn't want to speak ill of his master in front of Taigong Hu, and he didn't agree, so Taigong Hu didn't say any more about it.

"I've settled all the accounts this time, do you have any other money left?"

Sun Xin nodded, "Yes, all the things to do during this time should be handed over."

Hu Taigong nodded, and did not continue to ask. In fact, Sun Xin's answer had already secretly surprised him.

None of the things that Sun Xin said just now did not require money. Not to mention the several hundred taels of silver he just settled, it would cost two to three hundred taels of silver to repair his four watchtowers. If he wants to open a market and set up his own shop in the market, Sun Xin will have to leave at least a thousand taels of money in his hands.

Thinking of this, he no longer worried, and said, "Well, let's go back earlier."

"Daddy, I'll go first."

Sending Sun Xin out of Zhuangzi, Taigong Hu felt very relieved.

Leaning on crutches, he swayed slowly, and when he returned to his small courtyard, he saw Mrs. Hu Chen walking out.

"Didn't you say it was the checkout? Why are you so drunk again?"

"I'm happy today, don't talk about this."

"I said you can't drink too much, or did Sun Xin drink with you? Doesn't he know how to be considerate of an old man as a son-in-law?"

"I've owed you money for such a long time. If you don't drink this wine, won't it make people say that our son-in-law has lost his manners?"

"As a mother, don't talk too much about other people's juniors. You don't know that our Hu Sanniang married such a son-in-law because he met a good family and accumulated virtues in his previous life. How can someone else have such abilities?"

"Ability?" Hearing this, Hu Chen complained.

When Hu Sanniang was suffering before, Hu Chen was inconvenient and did not go to Shili Pai, but she also heard about her daughter's tragic situation, and now she started talking about it.

"Before he went out alone for half a month and there was no news. Hu Sanniang was left alone in his house, suffering with a big belly. Working hard on the affairs of his man's family, my daughter is suffering from marrying him."

Hu Taigong was happy because Sun Xin was promising. He patted the table in dissatisfaction when he heard what Hu Chen said, "Sun Xin didn't go out to eat and play, didn't he buy those woods and bluestones to build Zhuangzi?" ?”

"You can see that he owes a lot of money, but you don't know how big the business he has done. Just put the money he spent on building the village in other people's homes, and it is more than enough to buy as many acres of land as possible."

"It's all business. According to you, it's fine if the son-in-law doesn't go wandering around? What kind of skill is a good man who doesn't travel all over the world and stays at home every day?"

"I put this sentence here. I think Sun Xin's future prospects will definitely be higher than our two sons. If you blame him now, you will still count on him in the future."

Mrs. Hu Chen looked inexplicably at Mrs. Hu's indignation. The communication between the old couple was so noisy. They would eat together at night. Neither of them would hold back for too long because of this. gas.

It's just that Hu Taigong talked about Sun Xin's goodness inside and out, but it made Hu Chen curious.

Hu Taigong said that she is a woman with short knowledge, but she didn't understand, could it be that Sun Xin is really that good.

Looking back, I would like to take a look at Sun Xin's Zhuangzi!
Sun Xin settled the money and went back to the ten-mile card, freeing up some time, and his own rain pavilion was about to be built.

Sun Xin directed a few stonemasons to dig a hole in the wall of the small courtyard, and paved a corridor leading to the pond behind Zhuangzi.

This pond was chosen by him before, and the pond is full of accumulated running water, which will not stagnate and stink.

To build a bridge over the pond and then build a pavilion in the pond is very difficult and expensive for the engineering technology these days, so Sun Xin directly asked someone to dig another spare one next to the pond. Pond, and then dug a deep trench to connect the water of the two ponds together.

In this way, the two ponds together form a larger pond, and the road in the middle becomes a small piece of land in the pond.

The wind-powered waterwheel and self-rain pavilion are all built on this land.

The plan was good, but the carpenter who took over the job was a little bit embarrassed.

"Mr. Sun Xiaoguan, our learning skills have been passed down from generation to generation. Your wind-powered waterwheel makes sense, but I have never seen it before. I don't know if it will succeed or not if it is used."

"If you can't get transferred at that time, the officials don't want to hit me."

This is the difference between a craftsman and a designer. Sun Xin has been used to the thinking of technical workers in this era for so long.

Most technical workers in this era do not have much design ability. The so-called skilled craftsmen are actually just like the "so-and-so fairy" of the island country in later generations, who just practice a kind of work through countless repetitions. Once it is called Changing the procedures and ways he does his work often doesn't work so well when he needs to do something innovative.

This is why the appearance of talents like Tang Long in this era makes Sun Xin feel bright.

Sun Xin has never designed a wind-powered waterwheel, but since it is an experiment, the principle works and it is easy to solve.

"Let's do a model test first."
