Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 490 Firestone
After being raised in the Wuda tribe for a year, Zhao San's body has fully recovered, and he is nearly forty years old.

His marriage to Mrs. Yun was also facilitated by Shi Shi.

He has seen too much life and death as a slave in the Xuyang Grassland, he is no longer young and ignorant, and still feels that the dead are gone and the living are the most important.

His father has been dead for six years, as long as his mother has a stable life, he can also work hard, and he will avenge his father when he has a chance in the future.

Since Lady Yun and the three of them had already made up their minds, Song Liyun would naturally not say anything, and she gave them some silk and silver coins as a congratulatory gift.

Facing Song Liyun's blessing, Zhao San plopped on his knees and said, "Young Madam, you saved Yunniang, me and Shitou as well. You are the savior of our family of three. I have already discussed with Yunniang, and you will be our master."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over: "I asked Miss Wan to help me write a body deed with my fingerprint monogram on it."

Song Liyun looked at Mrs. Yun and Shitou. The mother and son obviously didn't know about this, so they were a little surprised.

Although Yunniang and Shitou have an unusual relationship with Song Liyun, they are not slaves. Now that Zhao San is married to Yunniang, he is willing to give him a contract.

Before Miss Yun got married, Song Liyun accepted it, but now it's even more embarrassing, and she can't let Lady Yun's husband be his servant.

Only a little startled, Miss Yun knelt down, with tears in her eyes: "Young madam, slaves and Zhao San are homeless people, following you, we will have the backbone!"

Zhao San asked her before if it was the words of the young lady's servant.

At that time, she said that the girl did not ask for the birth certificate of her mother and child, and she said something about what happened in Suijin Town.

Zhao San fell into deep thought when he heard Lady Yun Xueye reported to Baolinju and was taken in and reused by the young lady.

If he wanted to have a certain position in Song Liyun's heart in the future, instead of relying on Mrs. Yun's kindness, he had to find another way.

Selling oneself as a slave was the most common operation in the Wu Dynasty.

So, Zhao San wrote the deed.

Shi Shi didn't kneel, but said in a low voice: "Young madam, foster father is willing to follow you, so you can accept it!"

He had a life-threatening friendship with Zhao San before, and now he is with Song Liyun's people. It would be a good thing if Zhao San could be valued.

Seeing that the three of them were sincere, Song Liyun accepted the body deed that had not been sealed by the government.

..........................................

Along with Abu Wanyouyou, besides Shitou's family of three, there were also those craftsmen and maids who served Wanyouyou.

Nanny Xu also wanted to come along, but Mrs. Wu Ya said: This batch of carpets is to be presented to the Queen Mother, so Nanny Xu needs to take more care to keep it.

Karashan now has two wind-driven spinning locomotives. Not only can all the wool of this tribe be spun and weaved blankets, but the wool of other surrounding tribes is also in short supply.

Seeing that the sheep shearing season is coming again in summer, the tribe will also start to be busy. Aunt Xu is in charge of the carpet, and she can't leave even if she wants to.

The arrival of the master craftsmen set off another wave of employment in Mida City, and all the caravan guards who stayed in the city started their second jobs.

The wood is already prepared.

One month ago, Song Liyun asked people to bring trees and rocks from distant mountains to build a platform by the river.

Now the craftsmen have rich experience in erecting windmills, and the second windmill has been changed to be more suitable for the wind on the grassland.

Originally, Song Liyun thought that the Mida River would freeze in winter and the waterwheel could not be used. Unexpectedly, Wan Youyou and the craftsmen only thought about it for a few days before designing a plan to put the windmill on the river.

In this way, instead of using hydraulic impact, it uses the four-season wind as its driving force.

The rotating shaft drives the bobbins and rollovers, lifting the river ashore, and then flows into the city through deep underground ditches.

Not only can it irrigate hundreds of acres of land, but it can also realize the freedom of water in the city, which made Song Liyun very happy and rewarded those craftsmen.

Wan Youyou, who has contributed the most, doesn't want gold and silver, but only one request.

That is to be Song Liyun's student.

During the first half year of her stay in Karashan, she spent the rest of her time studying the book "One Hundred Thousand Whys" except teaching tribal children about culture.

After working on the windmill, she saw Song Liyun teaching the children's Chinese simple strokes, Arabic numerals and arithmetic, and she was shocked.

He insisted on learning with Yiming and the others, and asked Song Liyun to be her teacher and teach her some knowledge of physics and chemistry that she couldn't understand.

Wan Youyou didn't expect that he had read all the rare books in the capital where the literary style was at its peak, and would encounter things he couldn't understand in this wild place.

There are a group of children in the City Lord's Mansion, together with Wan Youyou's maid, the formerly empty and quiet mansion suddenly gained popularity.

Every time Zhao Tingduo went back to the mansion, he could see the maids and servants going back and forth, as if they were in the city of Wu Dynasty.

Especially in the main courtyard, Song Liyun could always be seen with a little girl who was only a few years old.

Seeing the male master enter the room, he was sitting at the kang table, and Xiao Ye'er, who was drawing the pattern for Mrs. Yun, hurriedly put down her pen and saluted timidly.

These children have to learn the same skill, elder brother Yiming is good at counting, but Xiao Yeer is talented in painting, and after only learning from Wan Youyou for a few days, he is hired to do embroidery for Yunniang.

Song Liyun asked Xiao Ye'er to find Wan Youyou in the side yard with a pen and paper, and went forward to pour Zhao Tingduo a cup of tea.

Zhao Tingduo raised his hand to stop him: "Ayun, Mr. Yu and the others are back and are in the front yard. Are you going to see them?"

Seeing how excited he was, even coming to the main courtyard to look for her in person, Song Liyun knew that Mr. Yu and the others must have found something.

Since they arrived in Mida City together in March, a dozen or so members of Mr. Yu took Wu Dan to wander around the grasslands in search of ores.

So far, there has been no reply at all. If there were no tribes who saw them, Mida City would not even know whether they were dead or alive.

Now it's finally back!

In the front yard, Mr. Yu was sitting in Zhao Tingduo's study outside packing his bags. In front of him was a pile of colorful stones.

Wu Dan squatted beside the charcoal stove, drinking milk tea happily.

He walked outside and rarely had the chance to drink milk tea, but it made him flustered.

After leaving for several months, Mr. Yu, who used to be a bit refined and elegant, became dark and thin, but his eyes became sharper and his spirit was full of radiance.

As soon as he saw Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun enter the study, he stood up and pointed to the ores and said, "Third Master, Young Madam Yu fulfilled her mission and found the mine."

Zhao Tingduo flicked up his sleeves, picked up one of the brown stones with black spots and said, "What is this?"

Old Man Yu said: "This is flint! If you ignite it with fire, it can last day and night!"

Flint was named after him.

The discovery of this stone was also accidental.

When camping in a mountain forest, I found that the stone that originally supported the bottom of the pot was burnt red, and it was dark red and hot all night.

This made Mr. Yu a little curious, so he simply stayed in place for a few days, specially picked up gravel of the same color and burned them together.

I don’t know if I don’t burn it. I’m startled when it’s burned. The darker the color, the redder it will be and the greater the heat.

Song Liyun was pleasantly surprised: "Metan, is it a coal mine?"

She took the stone from Zhao Tingduo and looked it over carefully.

The surface is a fist-sized stone mixed with black charcoal, and the sand can be peeled off to reveal the dark and shiny high-quality coal inside.

"Old Yu, where did you find this thing, are there many?"
