Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 92
It is definitely not common for aristocratic families to build Zhuangzi.

Like ponds, rockery, etc., this needs to be approved by the corresponding department in the Ministry of Rites.

Seeing the expression on Dugu Lanruo's face that seems to be thinking, Liu Mu said: "Believe me, I will get the special approval, as long as there is the word Yuci, the problem of arrogance can be solved, and I don't want any gorgeous Zhuangzi , I just want a place where I can live comfortably.”

Liu Mu sighed softly: "Unfortunately, many things I originally made were destroyed."

"Craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, jade craftsmen. How much do you want? The second brother has already bought nearly three hundred craftsmen slaves for you, saying that they are planning to give them to you for green materials." Dugu Lanruo said quickly.

"This second brother is my own brother." Liu Mu answered with a smile.

"Also." Dugu Lanruo said again: "The second brother said, you don't need to lead troops to go out, and I don't need to go. The second brother has already invited a hermit out of the mountain to take Princess Zhao's old department to Bingzhou in secret. I don't know what will happen to the wounded barracks in the end, and it's hard to ask."

"Who?" Liu Muxin said, a hermit, just by hearing this name, you know that this person is very powerful.

"Master of Princess Pingyang Zhao, Gongsun Shisanniang."

Liu Mu has never heard of such a person recorded in history, but he has heard of Aunt Gongsun, the first dancer of the Tang Dynasty in the Kaiyuan period, and her sword dance is unparalleled in the world.Maybe she has some kind of relationship with this Gongsun Shisanniang.

Hearing that he won't lead soldiers, Liu Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked in a low voice, "Can you come out more often recently?"

"Yes, yes." Dugu Lanruo said: "My father cares about me, so I have issued a special decree. If you and I meet each other at any time, but we can't be alone."

Willow took out the stick and bit it on his mouth again.

"Why, you're still not satisfied?" Dugu Lanruo scoffed.

"No, I want to see you every day recently. There is another reason. I want to make a few things, but I don't want outsiders to know."

"It's okay, I'll leave when it's critical. The people I sent are a female official and a eunuch in charge of the palace." Dugu Lanruo also helped Liu Mu hide a lot of things, so she understood Liu Mu's thoughts.

Liu Muxin said, it had to be like this. "Then, I'm temporarily staying at Zhuangzi in Jingyang, Duke of Yi Kingdom."

"kindness."

The two of them stayed in the tea garden for less than half an hour, when the female official in the palace mentioned by Dugu Lanruo and the eunuch in charge came to ask for instructions if it was cold and whether they should return quickly.

This is not a request, this is a urging to go back.

If Dugu Lan only wanted to see Liu Mu, she would just let it go.

Willow went back and prepared to move again.

"This Zhuangzi is here to stay, and it will be useful here in the future. Let's reform it according to the method we discussed in advance." Liu Mu said to Li Bi in this way.

But Li Bi said: "Anyway, it has been given to you as a gift, so you can just be idle."

"Well, shall we go to Jingyang together?"

"I won't go." Li Bi shook his head: "I don't stay in that place. Brother Shubao's elder brother, Zhuangzi in Jingyang, are mostly fierce men who have experienced many battles. Seeing them feels uncomfortable."

It doesn't matter to Liumu, as long as he lives close to Dugu Lanruo.

After Liu Mu came to Qin Qiong's Zhuangzi in Jingyang, Yu Chigong also arrived, bringing three to 400 people, all of whom were below the status of civilians.

Almost all of the artisans were selected from prisoners of war, and some were from artisan battalions of defeated forces.

In addition to craftsmen, there are also 800 women who were sent over after the year. All of them were old court ladies from the Sui Dynasty. To come out is also to solve a little trouble for the palace.

As for the able-bodied people Liu Mu asked for, Qin Wang Li Shimin didn't give any, and Qin Qiong sent someone.

"Mu, are these people going to repair the new Zhuangzi for you?" The old wolf was responsible for accepting and counting the heads, and then came to sit beside Liu Mu.

Liu Mu was flipping through the roster, with each person's specialties and skills written on it.

In this life, Liu Mu is not considered a craftsman, but a farmer.Some carpentry work belongs to the slack work after farming, so the main body is still farmers, who are the best among ordinary people.And if it is classified as a carpenter, it can only be Xialiang among the common people.

This difference is quite small.

And these people on the roster are all slaves because they are prisoners of war.

Liu Mu looked at it, and there were comments on these craftsmen, most of which were written as skilled hands, not teachers.It is a familiar craftsman, but not enough to be a master.

Liu Mu pointed to the three on the roster and said to Zhu Yi, his little follower: "Call these three people over, and then prepare some ordinary wood. If they have tools, they will bring them by themselves. If they have nothing to say, prepare a set for him."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao Lang." Zhu Yi trotted off to do some work.

Then Liu Mu said to the old wolf: "Brother Lang, first look at the abilities of these people. There is no rush to repair Zhuangzi. I will talk about it in the spring of next year. I am thinking about finding a man on the bank of the Jing River. There are no trees or fields. wasteland."

"It's easy to find. There are quite a few places like this on the east side. See if it's suitable, and then ask who it belongs to. Jingyang nods here, and most of them will save our family." Lao Lang said indifferently.

You know, here are Cheng Yaojin's fields, Qin Qiong's fields, Yu Chigong's fields, and Princess Changping's fields.To the north of Sanyuan, people with the surname Li accounted for more than [-]% of the fields.

Li Jing's family, Li Ji's family, plus several royal family members.

Soon, three carpenters arrived, and the three of them were marked on the roster as master craftsman, good craftsman, and skilled hand.

Liu Mu pulled out his own small wooden box, took out a blueprint and walked in front of the three of them: "This is driven by a belt, a small gadget, the three of you will try your hand at it."

"Your Majesty's order." The three answered in unison.

Who has a few catties and a few taels, the three of them understood the general idea in their hearts as soon as they took the tools.

What Liumu made is actually a high-speed grinding machine, relying on a large manpower to drive several belt turntables, and the final grinding is on a workbench, which is planned to produce a speed of more than [-] revolutions per minute.

The three of them started working immediately. The willow wood for the bearing part was made of pig iron, and oil was dripping continuously during use.

As soon as the job started, Liu Mu blushed.

why?
Because Liu Mu was also a carpenter in this life, I am far worse than this skilled person. That person can make ten wooden sticks of the same length and thickness by just relying on his eyesight. error.

Awesome, even if you don't accept it.

That master-level carpenter, with his craftsmanship, it is estimated that willow wood would make it easy for him to carve a flower.

In just one day, the three completed what Liu Mu wanted, and made some improvements, changing the big turntable so that it can be pushed by a person or put on a donkey.Moreover, an oil groove is added to the bearing so that the bearing is half soaked in oil.
