Time flies by quickly, and more than half a month has passed.

During this time, Yi Mingxue was very busy.

The car dealers and rice farmers are gradually getting back on track, and the spring plowing in each village has gradually come to an end.

All her thoughts now are devoted to road construction.

After all, this is a big project, and the manpower, material and financial resources that need to be mobilized are not small.

Although the government has also stationed a team, since Yi Mingxue took over the responsibility in the first place, she has to shoulder her due responsibilities.

Ordinary road construction is nothing more than using manual labor to cut mountains and stones with hoe and shovel.

Then use yellow mud to pound it into a smooth road.

This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the quality of the road built is not good.

It won't be used for long, either weeds will grow on the road or it will be crushed and damaged.

Yi Mingxue remembered that the surviving scientific researchers at their base had mentioned it during the apocalypse.

After clay and limestone are calcined and ground into clinker, a rough cement can be made.

Building roads with this cement-like material is more solid than simple loess.

So, in the county government office of Huzhou County.

Magistrate Zhu received letters of complaint one after another from his subordinate officials.

Although they dare not say it openly, they are complaining openly and covertly throughout the article.

It means that he sent a woman to build the road, but she didn't understand anything.

The leader spent the whole day either tossing a few lumps of wood or burning that weird pile of mud.

Just messing around.

Magistrate Zhu looked at the mountain of complaints and felt a little unsure.

"What's going on with Yi Mingxue? Is it possible? As long as the money is in place and she doesn't have to do the road construction herself, it's fine."

Master Chang on the side also touched his beard and said with an apologetic smile.

"I heard that she recently opened Mingji Rice Shop, and she also took orders from nearly half of the rice shops in the southwest region."

"Is this happening?" Because it was related to rice and grain, County Magistrate Zhu also became concerned.

"Being able to sign so many orders means that she has a lot of food on hand. But after asking, where did she get so much food?"

Master Chang had figured it out a long time ago, but he just found an excuse to tell the matter to Magistrate Zhu.

"She developed a high-yielding seedling, which she said can achieve a yield of about 800 kilograms per mu. But she didn't hide her secrets, and even took other villagers to plant them together. They planted them one after another, and the natural food was also

There are more and more.”

Magistrate Zhu was really interested now.

"Eight hundred catties per mu? What was the highest output value in the big grain-producing county next door last year?"

Master Chang continued to stroke his beard, stretched out his hand and made a few strokes.

"Five hundred catties, the highest is only five hundred catties."

"Hey!" When Magistrate Zhu heard this, he slapped his thigh with excitement on the spot, "Why are you telling me about such a big thing now?"

Master Chang was also very helpless. He had just received the news not long ago.

Magistrate Na Zhu was worried about the court's increase in taxes recently. Hearing this, he immediately got up and went to see the rice grown by Yi Mingxue in person.

Master Chang followed closely and did not forget to ask.

"Then what should we do with these snow-like letters complaining about Yi Ming?"

Magistrate Zhu is not in the mood to care about that right now.

Immediately he waved his official robe and said, "Do you still need me to teach you this? Just burn it and pretend you haven't seen it!"

Master Chang: "..."

…

Because of some people's incomprehension, Yi Mingxue's road construction work actually did not progress smoothly.

But she wasn't in a hurry either.

As long as this cement-like material is ready, the trial road section will be compared with their previous yellow dirt road.

They naturally understand what they are doing.

As for the wooden lump she was studying, it was naturally a concrete mixer.

At the end of the world, she was the only superhuman with space in their base.

Therefore, many important equipment related to the construction of the base wall are also stored in her space.

But it was impossible for her to use it directly for these people.

I could only disassemble and study one of the mixers in my own space.

Then detailed drawings were drawn and handed over to the engineering team led by Carpenter Wang to restore them.

Because this is not a field she is familiar with, and Wang Carpenter and the others have never seen this thing before.

The carpenter team worked hard for more than two months before they succeeded.

Although the power is not as high as that of later generations, it still saves time and effort compared to manual mixing.

Soon, the workers and foremen on the construction site discovered.

With the existence of this wooden bump, their work efficiency has skyrocketed.

Not only was it done quickly and well, the road paved was also very smooth and reliable.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer voices opposing Yi Mingxue on the construction site.

They even often discuss it behind their backs.

It is said that Yi Mingxue is the reincarnation of Lu Bangong.

It’s almost the end of April to deal with the matters on the completed ground.

Back in Fengyun Town, I remembered Yi Qingqing's plate-making workshop.

Yi Mingxue did not go home directly, but temporarily transferred to the platemaking workshop.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the platemaking workshop, I heard a familiar voice coming from the yard.

"This time I went to Kyoto, and I really got to see what a big clothing store is. The clothes in Suoqing Pavilion are so beautiful."

"But! Even the shopkeeper of Suo Qing Pavilion is still full of praise for our gentle plate making."

"So let's not lose heart."

Hearing Shopkeeper Mei's voice, Yi Mingxue quickened her pace.

Pass through the front hall and come all the way to the small flower hall in the backyard.

I saw Shopkeeper Mei standing in the middle, telling the embroiderers in a yard vividly about her interesting stories in Kyoto.

Speaking of the wonderful part, she also took out some new styles and fabrics from the baggage she brought back.

Show it to everyone.

Yi Qingqing and others listened attentively.

Now there are a total of more than a dozen people in their plate-making workshop.

Most of them are farm girls from poor family backgrounds but good at craftsmanship.

There are also people like Du Mingwei who are desperate and want to learn a craft and settle down.

In short, they are all women from small places.

I have never seen the world outside.

Even just listening to Shopkeeper Mei's description, his face was full of yearning.

Yi Mingxue did not disturb them, but leaned against the wall with her arms folded, listening carefully to her description of the ripples in Kyoto.

It was Shopkeeper Mei who discovered her first.

"Sister Mingxue, why didn't you say hello when you came?"

Yi Mingxue walked up with a smile, "It's a pity that Sister Mei doesn't tell stories. Now that Kyoto is in your mouth, even I want to take a look and have a try."

Shopkeeper Mei knew she was joking and joked with her.

"With the current abilities of the Yi Dong family, won't Kyoto just let you roam around?"

After the greetings, Shopkeeper Mei handed the gifts back to Yi Qingqing and Du Mingwei, asking them to distribute them to the embroiderers in the workshop.

He led Yi Mingxue into her small study.

"Why did it take so long this time?" Yi Mingxue asked.

Shopkeeper Mei sighed softly, "Since the last Tinglan meeting, Yixiangfang no longer accepts our pattern making. Now that there are so many embroiderers to support in the workshop, I can't stay at home and just sit there all day long.

"

"It happened that a friend of mine wanted to transport goods to Kyoto, so I went with him to see the world."

Yi Mingxue saw that although she was saying this, her eyebrows were relaxed.

"It seems that you have solved the problem this time."

Shopkeeper Mei nodded and then said as if offering a treasure.

"I was also lucky, and I had the opportunity to meet a steward of Suoqing Pavilion. They are currently preparing beautiful clothes for Princess Lao Duan's birthday banquet. The chief executive in the pavilion has submitted dozens of editions, but Princess Na Duan is still not very satisfied. satisfy."

"No, Suo Qing Pavilion will simply open its doors to the public and solicit plate making. I won a place for us to participate."

Yi Mingxue raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

"Host the princess's birthday party? This is really a good opportunity to make a name for yourself. What does my second son say?"

"Qingqing is naturally happy. I was originally worried that she would be stressed, but now it seems that I was worrying too much."

The two were chatting.

Suddenly, Yi Tianlei's anxious shouting was heard outside the door.

"Second sister! Hurry! Someone is coming to make trouble in our Mi Village!"

…
