Chapter 2206 Governor, Come and Farm with Me! (216)

"Yes, please rest assured, Master."

Yuan Wu waited for the team to go far, then flew on his horse and returned to the other courtyard.

Su Qiao used the fastest speed to dig out all the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, and quickly rushed home with the peeled bamboo shoots on her back.

There are still a lot of things to do. I have to rush to make bags and shoes and socks, I have to make movable type printing molds, I have to teach my second uncle to make papyrus and rice paper, and I have to prepare for building a house.

To build a house, you must first have bricks, cement, and tiles. She plans to invite the unskilled second uncle and third uncle, as well as several cousins ​​from the second and third grandfather's family to do it.

If it goes well, they can build a small cement factory, brick factory, lime factory, and then pull up a construction team dedicated to building houses for people.

But before that, she had to test it out on her own.

Lime calcination is very simple, bricks and tiles only need to find a little sticky soil, make a mold, and then build a kiln for firing. For cement, there are alternative recipes in the encyclopedia last time.

Lime, clay, slag ash, mixed with a small amount of sand and gypsum.

Limestone is calcined at high temperature to turn into quicklime, add water, and finally turn into mature lime. You can find clay if you look for it, and you can fish it in the sand river. Gypsum, as long as you find gypsum stone, heat and refine it.

The slag ash here refers to the slag ash left after the coal is burned, which can be replaced by volcanic ash. The ordinary people do not have it at home, but Yuan Wu was there, and found the iron-smelting stone of the imperial court and transported it. The unwanted slag ash is still very simple. of.

After having a plan in mind, Su Qiao followed everyone to make bags and socks.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, they gathered another 700 pairs of shoes and socks and 500 bags.

In the middle, because the ingredients were not enough, I went to the town to buy it again.

The soldiers were still divided into two groups, the second uncle and the second aunt were selling in the town, and Su Qiao just took her mother, accompanied by Yuan Wu, to the county town.

To Su Qiao's surprise, the sale this time went very smoothly, and there was nothing that could not be sold.

She felt puzzled and wandered around the downtown area of ​​the county town for a while, but did not see any embroidery or clothing store selling these things.

Later, I went back to the town and went shopping again, but I still didn't find it, only occasionally a few people went back and learned to make shoes, socks and bags.

At this point, Su Qiao is very confident that Feng Han did something behind his back, such as secretly warning those embroidery and clothing stores.

The second time was not as much as the first time, but it also earned more than 400 taels of silver.

After saying hello to the old man, Su Qiao spent 22 taels to buy the shop that was selling in the town.

The shop is quite right, the front shop is two floors up and down, the inner yard is three-entry, can live in, and there is enough space to remodel a small workshop.

Su Qiao was very satisfied.

What she wants to open is not a grocery store, but a department store. The first floor sells daily necessities, such as shoes, bags, soap, matches, pens, rice paper, grass paper, toothbrushes, tooth powder and so on.

The second floor is dedicated to women's personal products, such as socks, menstrual belts that have been improved into underwear, apron that has been improved according to modern underwear, as well as some rouge gouache, facial mask whitening cream and so on.

Su Qiao was in full swing while preparing for the opening of the store, while instructing several uncles and cousins ​​to lay the foundation and build the house.

On the other hand, Feng Han, who had already arrived in the capital, was also very busy.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, the entire capital was in a panic. Some people in the courtroom were suddenly listed as evidence of dozens of crimes, and they were dismissed from office and sent to prison. Some people were directly raided and exterminated.
