Chapter 148 New Life, New Hope
Liu Mingyu was forced to take a shower. After he finished taking a shower, he changed into a relaxed robe and came to the bedroom. He found that Yang Xianxian had already disappeared.
"My husband, have a meal, otherwise it will be cold!"
On the dining table in Liu Mingyu's bedroom suite, Yang Xianxian placed seven dishes, glutinous rice lotus root, Sixi meatballs, stewed chestnuts with chickens, stewed soybeans with elbows, grilled lamb chops, braised fish and a stir-fried alfalfa.
“So abundant!”
Yang Xianxian handed Liu Mingyu a pair of chopsticks.
Liu Mingyu picked up chopsticks and launched a wind-like attack on the food on the table.
Time is limited, how can you waste your time on eating?
Yang Xianxian took advantage of the meal to introduce to Liu Mingyu what happened recently and the development of the Liu family army in Kuanhe.
Even if Liu Mingyu was not in Kuanhe City, Yang Xianxian acted as a virtuous man and took care of everything in an orderly manner. In mid-April, the question of Liu Mingyu's stay or not had actually been decided. With the influx of refugees and the families of soldiers, especially the Liu family army, more than 4,700 more war horses were added. You should know that these war horses are all big eaters and eat up a mountain.
The land reclamation work that was originally stopped has begun one after another. Of course, at this time, it is not the main purpose of reclaiming fertile fields, but the planting of alfalfa.
The Liu family army's "April Hunting" operation harvested more than 4,700 war horses, more than 3,000 cattle, more than 100,000 sheep, and mules, donkeys and other animals. These animals all require a large amount of alfalfa. Although Yang Xianxian did not know how to grazed, after asking the prisoners of war, she realized that if extensive grazing was adopted, six thousand acres of grassland were needed to meet the basic living security of the family. The million acres of natural grassland in Kuanhe City could guarantee the upbringing of more than 1,000 horses and more than 10,000 sheep.
In order to improve feeding efficiency, Yang Xianxian used the trenches and low wall fortifications dug out by the soldiers of the Liu family army, and after a little renovation, it turned into a sheep pen or cow pen or stable, allowing the people and refugees to collect grass seeds, transplant alfalfa, mow grass and raise animals.
Especially when growing alfalfa, alfalfa can not only raise horses or sheep, but also eat it. The tender alfalfa can be mixed cold or stir-fried. It tastes good and is crisp and refreshing, and has gradually become a dish for the people on the dinner table.
"Thanks a lot!"
"This is what a slave should do, what's the hard work!"
"With this, what else can the husband ask for?"
Although I haven't seen each other for only two months, Kuanhe City has developed very rapidly. First, it is the steel plant in Liangjiatai. The third blast furnace will be completed. Since the coke steelmaking method is adopted, two furnaces will be more than 30,000 kilograms of steel every three days and three nights. Two blast furnaces will be more than 600,000 kilograms per month and more than 300 tons.
In later generations, steel mills of this scale were even worse than the output of a scrap steel smelting workshop, but in this era, they had achieved an extraordinary achievement, which means that the steel mills could steadily bring Liu Mingyu an output value of more than 60,000 taels of silver.
After more than two hundred months of day and night construction, the resettlement houses of Liu Family Army Soldier One have completed four phases, totaling more than 7,900 units. These are mainly Type A apartment type, followed by Type B apartment type. The fifth phase of construction project is currently under construction, mainly Type C apartment type C that was not built in the previous period, the second is Type B apartment type, and the second is Type A apartment type.
In other words, it is expected that the built resettlement houses can be completely completed by the end of June.
Liu Mingyu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it won't work at the end of June. The Liu family army was renamed Wu Lie Army and has eight battalions under its jurisdiction. According to the organization provided by the court, the entire army had more than 24,000 soldiers, plus more than 35,000 auxiliary soldiers. We only prepared 11,000 houses in the early stage, which is far from enough!"
"But there are only so many Jiannu in Dongcheng!"
"Then start construction in the north, west, and south of the city!"
Liu Mingyu smiled bitterly and said, "The weather outside the pass is much colder than inside the pass. It's almost two months left, so the weather should be cold. This work is the top priority. After the meal is over, let's talk about something else?"
Yang Xianxian was a little confused: "What else?"
"For example, the problem of champion Hou Shizi!"
Hearing this, Yang Xianxian's face turned slightly red: "It's not dark yet!"
"What's wrong with it if it's dark!"
Yang Xianxian's face turned redder: "My husband, why don't you take Yan'er away!"
"I'll talk about this later!"
The road is long and arduous, and I will search up and down.
Fifty thousand words are omitted here...
Liu Mingyu, who was lying on the Guangmu, didn't even want to move his fingers at this moment. He thought he was just a half man, after all, his attributes were only fifty now. According to the system prompts, fifty was just like a normal person.
As a result, he was cheated by a powerful system. After actual combat, he had been covered by high-density artillery fire for about fifty minutes. Liu Mingyu, who had been a man for two lives, wanted to greet the mother of the system.
...
Just when Liu Ming met the gentle hometown deep in the city, Hong Niangzi, Liu Xingzuo and others also arrived at a public bathhouse twenty miles outside Kuanhe City.
Liu Family Army has already figured out a skilled method for how to take refugees and the people. The refugees are more or less injured and also have viruses. Once a chain reaction is caused, the problem will be big.
This temporary camp was once the camp of Jiannu. It was built based on the ruins of Jiannu's original camp. The ground was mixed with lime and soil, and then flattened with a stone mill, and divided into two bathhouses for men and women.
The big pot responsible for boiling water is recently cast by Xu Biao's apprentice. It is no problem for each pot to stew three beefs. This big pot has a capacity of 3,000 liters. Once the water boils, there is a large scoop with leverage, so that the water in the pot can be scooped into the wooden barrel next to it.
Although it is a public bath, considering the different physical conditions of refugees and disaster victims, no public bath was built here, but wooden barrels with chest height were used to solve the problem of bathing. The weather is not cold now, and it is really an open-air bath, with men and women separated, and children in their own homes, boys follow their fathers, and girls follow their mothers.
Two bathtubs in a family.
Although Hong Niangzi is the leader of Qinglong Mountain and the future mayor of Ping'an Town, there is no special treatment here. She was taken to the bathtub by a servant: "Take it off, it's all women who need to be shy!"
As he said that, the servant gave a towel and a piece of sulfur soap wrapped in paper to the Hongmao.
The red lady looked at the steam around her. There was a long stool next to the bathtub. Other women placed their clothes on the stool.
However, as soon as Hongmao took off her clothes, a servant took away Hongmao's clothes, put them in a basket, and then put a wooden sign on it.
"Why take my clothes away!"
“Your clothes need to be disinfected!”
"Poison, my clothes are not poisonous!"
"Whether you say it's poisonous or not!"
The maid held the folded clothes and placed them on the bench of the Hongniang. The maid analyzed the clothes of the refugees or the people. Some of the refugees' clothes were just a piece of rag, and there was no value for cleaning. However, the Matchmaker's clothes were different. They were not only without patches, but also had a good texture. At first glance, they were a family with a good family.
For the worn-out clothes of refugees, they should be burned directly. Not only are they dirty, but they also contain many parasites, which is very easy to cause diseases and disasters.
Liu Mingyu is a person from the 21st century. He has a high respect for life and will not ignore anyone's life.
The refugees looked at the burning clothes and began to howl and cry.
The servants ignored the pleas of the refugee women and hurried them to the wooden barrels. The women who had just entered the bathroom were scalded and howled.
Responsible for supervising the refugee women, scrubbing each other, and telling them how to use sulfur soap, hot hot water, and salt added to it. If there is a wound on the body, it will be sour...
Both men and women all put a new set of clothes, new shoes, and a unified standard and green clothes. This is the color of the clothing of Liu's family servants. It is cheap and there are no children's clothes. All clothes are divided into three types: large, medium and small. If it is a child, there is no way to wear pants. A top is enough to be used as a skirt.
This is considered that women of this era are excellent needle girls. They send them clothes and then send them a needle and thread bag. This is also the cheapest thing on Taobao. The needle and thread bag includes 20 or 30 needles of all sizes, a pair of scissors, a tape measure, and more than a dozen threads.
If your child’s clothes don’t fit, then change them yourself.
When a group of people finish bathing, they will change to another group. People who change into new clothes should be more funny. Anyway, not many clothes can fit well. Most people also have peasant-like cunning. They generally do not choose small-sized clothes, but large-sized clothes, because this way, they can add a few more feet of cloth, make shoes, or make clothes, which is cost-effective.
After coming out of the temporary bathroom, under the guidance of the servants, they began to divide the equipment, one-shoulder hanging bag, a wooden plate for eating, a wooden bowl, and a pair of chopsticks.
The same is true for the Hong Niang, but she has one more hand card than others because she has her own property and clothes. "9527, this is your license plate. It's time to get your clothes tomorrow. Take your hand card to get your original clothes!"
After leaving the temporary bathroom, there was a huge canteen, which was filled with large wooden barrels containing food. This was how they came along the way, and the boss was not surprised. She lined up and received the meal.
Perhaps to welcome the arrival of the people, everyone can actually divide a piece of meat, the size is about the same. Along the way, whether it is the refugees or the people, their stomachs have been almost fully maintained, so they can eat something oily and water.
