Han Sen also rushed over after he released the food. No. 200 people gathered at the edge of the reservoir and looked at Min Yuanqi with a gaze.

The tiles came out of the kiln in the distance, and there was a burst of cheers. Many people turned their heads to look, but they looked at Min Yuanqi again.

Even if the method of salt drying in Kanchi is in Yancheng, I am afraid that when Xu Guangqi was patrolling and promoting salt drying in Huaiyang, many salt households and restaurants only heard that everyone had no chance to learn and practice. When Xu Guangqi's initiative failed and the promotion of salt drying in Huaiyang failed, the people in Huaiyang area did not understand what was going on at all, and the matter ended hastily.

The hundreds of households in front of him seemed to be confident, but who can not be nervous about the livelihood of everyone?

Now three meals are dry and sparse, and the whole furniture can be filled. But if these hundreds of taels of silver are smashed and the hundred households are not done, I am afraid that everyone will have to eat bran when they go down. If you have a good vision ahead, who would want to live a hard life?

Min Yuanqi has always paid attention to the water diversion level and drainage channel, plus the docking Kan Pool.

In addition, the water tank uses the most labor force, and he has to see if the stones on the bottom and four walls are used solidly and whether they are compacted... In addition to the craftsmen in Suocheng, the large craftsmen hired are all stone and tiles. If these craftsmen do not work hard, Min Yuanqi will naturally have a district.

Fortunately, people may be quite simple these days, or Min Yuanqi came to see it five or six times a day. At the bottom of this reservoir, Min Yuanqi looked at it and found that he could not find a place that saves money and has little effort.

The bottom and four walls of the pond are compacted, and even if you use your hands to pick them, you can’t move too much. You use stones on the bottom four bases and tiles in the middle. The four walls are compacted. There is no way to build them with stones or tiles. The project volume of using stones is terrible. You can only use soil to stick with tiles. If you can’t pass the process, it will fall down soon, which is useless.

Min Yuanqi was a little regretful. He vaguely remembered the principles of cement or concrete manufacturing, but he couldn't remember the details clearly. If he had used some thoughts when he saw it, he might be able to build a large cement pool and accumulate brine.

Just change the angle, even if there is a way to make cement, such a large pond, no matter how much the cost is, the material money can still be called bankrupt by Min Yuanqi now.

Half of the money Zhu Wanchun has spent a while ago, but fortunately the Yanchi project is almost completed, and Min Yuanqi can't afford to delay it.

"It's great, the work is sufficient, everyone is attentive to do things." Min Yuanqi looked up and looked down at him with dark faces. Even if he stayed at the bottom of the pond, he could smell the smell of sweat on these people. From morning to night, both the workers and the military households must do their best, regardless of whether men and women have to do their best... The food this day is not for nothing, and doing this work is not as leisurely as during the busy farming period. But Min Yuanqi seized a good opportunity. During this slack farming period, most of the men and women were doing work from afar. Most of the men went to take care of work from afar. Women did some stitches at home, such as shoemaking, or spinning machinery and fabrics, and used these things to supplement their household income. If they rely solely on the land in front of them, the military households would have starved to death. There is a ready-made work that can save more than ten days of chewing grain, which is also another level of work.

People in this day and age are not afraid of suffering, nor will they complain. These days, no matter whether men or women are like this, when Min Yuanqi looked up, although the people in front of him had dark faces, thin bodies, and torn clothes, even if the beggars in later film and television dramas could not be disliked, Min Yuanqi did not dislike him, and even felt a little bit of recognition.

These days, these people in front of you are no longer simple symbols or simple names. Now Min Yuanqi not only recognizes everyone, but also knows the family backgrounds of many people, including the current situation of each family and even their living habits...

For example, Min Yuanzhong's family has the heaviest burden. The oldest of the five dolls is only eight years old, and the youngest is still breastfeeding. Although Min Yuanzhong is also from the Min family, he has long been a distant branch. The family has no wealth. The small banner officials do not earn more money than the banner army. The family has a large population and the burden is heavy. In this work in the salt pond, the wife of Min Yuanzhong's family carries the smallest doll and holds a wooden shovel to work every day...

Gao Cuncheng has a semi-paralyzed mother at home, and life is very difficult.

Liang Shifa's family is not burdened, and he has two children. His parents are healthy and generous. He has many ideas. He has a lot of prestige in Xiaoqi, but he has a problem with fear. He often hears his wife scolding Liang Xiaoqi in the yard... However, this woman is not bad by nature. Her mother-in-law fell ill last winter, and Liang Shi sent salt to the city to be at home. The woman forced her mother-in-law to carry her mother-in-law and ran for about ten miles to see a doctor in Suocheng...

Min Yuanjin and Yang Zhijin are both bachelors, and Han Sen has three girls but no sons. No wonder he has a gloomy face all day long...

Xie Xiang is a bachelor, and his parents and relatives have long died. He is full and his whole family is not hungry. He has a bad temper and is very skilled. He is a famous thorn in several hundred households around him.

Xu Wenhuan once worked as a young man for a while. He was smart and quick to learn and had a bright future. Unfortunately, the apprentice's business suddenly went bankrupt, so he could only go back to the hundred households to be a flag army honestly.

Those who have worked as young men for other businesses will definitely not take in them. This is how Xu Wenhuan's future was ruined.

Min Yuanqi also knew that most of the craftsmen were locals, and the only craftsmen who had inherited from generation to generation, only Shen Yong was a craftsmen who came from Shandong. In the Denglai chaos, almost all the people in Dengzhou died. Shen Yong took his wife and children and brother Shen Liang to flee south, ran to Dahewei and was fled to the side of the Qing gou fleeing army, and was directly placed in Dahewei to continue to be a military household... This is the fate of military craftsmen and a microcosm of ordinary people in this era. Under the tide of the times, it is too difficult for these ordinary people to change their destiny.

However, the Shen family was lucky. Although their parents died, the two brothers and Shen Yong's wife and children survived, which was also lucky. The Dengzhou Guard where he was located was almost empty, and most of the families were dead, and no one left was left, and the incense inheritance was directly cut off.

As for Liaodong, it was even worse. Originally, there were millions of people in Liaodong, but now there were only one ten. More than one hundred thousand Liao people crossed the sea to Denglai to take refuge. After leaving Dengzhou, they encountered the Denglai rebellion. Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu and others rebelled, massacred and even slaughtered people. After the war was quelled, hundreds of thousands of people were killed. When the Shen brothers fled south, they saw dead people everywhere on roads, fields, villages, market towns, and forests. No matter how men, women, old and young, from octogenarians to breastfeeding dolls, the bodies were everywhere. The officers and soldiers and rebels fought and saw the war. Both sides killed people when they saw people and robbed them when they saw them. After losing the food, even if they were not killed by the rioters, they would starve to death in a few days.

After Min Yuanqi learned of that situation, he even made up his mind about what he did.

In this era, ordinary people can't even withstand small waves. As long as they are trapped in it, whether they die or live, they can only depend on their luck. Min Yuanqi does not want to be influenced by anyone or anything. If he wants to work hard, he must at least rely on his own efforts. In the end of the 17th year of Chongzhen, he struggles to find a way out...

When people by the pond heard Min Yuanqi's words, they shouted happily, saying that people these days are also very scarce in language. After all, they are nothing more than words such as income, food, and being able to fill their stomachs.

People are really happy. People see Min Yuanqi's changes. Previously, Baihu was a young and strong young man who knew nothing. With some family background, Min Yuanqi had been pretty good. He only cares about himself and practices boxing and big guns every day. People are a little afraid of this Baihu, and some people disdain for him. In just ten days, although they are still messing around in the eyes of some people, at least people have a feeling that Baihu is still stable and cautious and smart, not like he is just messing around... The most important thing is that Min Yuanqi is not stingy with the people below. This is why more and more flag soldiers are participating in training, and people in the village are willing to participate in this major project.

There are many hundred households in Yuntiguan, five offices of Dahewei, thousands of flag soldiers, more than a dozen commanders, co-magistrates, assistant officials, and many thousands of households. There are several officials who are in charge of the flag soldiers and their families. The neighboring households are well aware of each other. If you want to say how the officials of each household exploit the military household, you can't say it. All the rules now have long been the case. Everyone follows the rules and will not be less grains to collect. Even if the military households starve to death and flee, the hundreds of households will not have any measures. They have to think that they are unlucky when they are in trouble.

All of this made people not have any illusions about Shangguans, and also made Min Yuanqi consider himself some common measures, which made people more or less feel some differences.

These differences accumulate, coupled with the rice fields in front of you, more or less, causing some cracks to bloom in people's hearts that have been frozen for a long time: Maybe this time is really a great opportunity?

Han Sen grinned, lowered the rope and pulled Min Yuanqi to the edge of the reservoir.

Min Yuanqi clapped his hands, looked at the smiling faces around him, and said, "Today, I will make more effort and spread the newly released tiles in the pool. I will release water early tomorrow morning. Let's see if God will give me a face recently. If I make my face melt, we will be able to produce salt in a few days!"
