Although Yuchi Gong's son Yuchi Baohuan had sneak attacked before and abducted many seeds, fortunately Yuchi Baohuan left some room and did not do any more damage, so Zhuangzi didn't look much different from before.
Entering the main hall of Zhuangzi, Fang Jun sat down, took a sip of hot tea, and asked: "Before the bandits invaded, there were many casualties in Zhuangzi. Have they done anything to provide compensation?"
Lu Chengdao: "Don't worry, Erlang, they all sacrificed their lives for our family, how can we treat them badly? According to Erlang's instructions, they will be given a large sum of money as compensation, and they will also be given two hundred acres of farmland or a greenhouse. Every household is grateful, and a low life can be so valuable to the master's family."
Houci, how can such a good thing exist in the world? Many people even beat their chests and regretted why they didn't rush forward and risk their lives... Haha, they are all willing to work for our family for generations to come."
In troubled times, human life is like nothing, but it is not much better in the prosperous times. It is limited to the underground productivity, the serious shortage of production materials, coupled with corrupt officials from time to time, natural and man-made disasters, ordinary people want to live peacefully in this world.
Living is actually not easy, and things like "Yi Zi eating each other" are not limited to happening in troubled times.
Being able to have a generous and kind-hearted master is a blessing that cannot be achieved in a few lifetimes. Being able to risk one's life for the master's family so that his parents, wife and children can live and work in peace and contentment is a blessing that countless people are rushing to do.
If a dead life can be sold for a good price, what else can I ask for?
Fang Jun nodded and said slowly: "Our family is extremely wealthy now. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are making a lot of money every day. There is no need to exploit so little money and food from servants and tenants. We should be more generous to those below. If anyone has
Help us when there are difficulties. Giving out more benefits during the New Year may not necessarily be valuable, but it is better to be things that are usually lacking. It does not necessarily require them to be grateful, but it should be used as a peace of mind for ourselves. Such words as "being rich without kindness" are absolutely unacceptable
It has something to do with our family."
Loyalty is relative, you cannot blindly ask for loyalty but be unwilling to pay an equivalent exchange.
Of course, people are selfish, and they may not be willing to be loyal even if they receive excessive rewards. There are many examples of "benefit and hatred" throughout the ages...
It is good to be born between heaven and earth and look down without any shame.
Lu Cheng also said: "That's it. The master is generous and kind, but he cannot indulge his servants unlimitedly. The reason why the heavy snow collapsed many greenhouses this time is because of the generous treatment in the past two years. After eating enough,
When the clothes are warm, I forget how I lived around the world, selling my children and daughters, and not working hard or trying my best. Anyway, I always have enough to eat... When the heavy snow falls, I despise the cold weather.
The snow on the roof of the shed was not cleared in time, which caused the beams, columns and purlins to collapse. Fortunately, most of them were greenhouses for growing vegetables, and the greenhouses for raising seedlings were not lost."
If vegetables freeze, it will only cost you some money, but if the greenhouse for raising seedlings collapses, it will affect next year's spring plowing and the promotion of corn, sweet potatoes and other crops, which cannot be measured by money.
Fang Jun took another sip of tea and asked casually: "How to deal with those servants who neglect their duties?"
The smile on Lu Chenglao's face faded, and every wrinkle was stern: "The master's generosity does not mean that you can escape punishment for making mistakes. In serious cases, you will be killed with a stick, your family members will be expelled from the village, and in less serious cases, the land will be taken back and closed."
Those whose families went to work in the fields outside the village and whose children entered school were expelled."
Fang Jun is not a philanthropic person. He is willing to use the money he earns to help those people who are living in poverty and have no home. However, he is not just accommodating and giving. Rules are rules. Whether in court or in the world, rules are what maintain everything.
the foundation of.
Once the rules are broken, the country can turn from prosperity to decline, and the family can prosper and fall...
Putting down his tea cup, Fang Jun stood up and said with a smile: "You can make the decision on these matters. You are the steward of this village. Come on, take me to see if there is still any need to rescue the collapsed greenhouses.
"
"Here."
Lu Cheng also stood up immediately, very happy.
This happiness does not come from the power of life and death in Zhuangzi, but from Fang Jun's unreserved trust.
For him, the trust and closeness of his master's family are more important than gold and silver.
Since I came to the Fang family as a dowry for my mistress, Lu, my hard work and hard work have been recognized for half my life, and this life has been worth it.
After the snow stopped, the sky still didn't clear up. Thick clouds covered the sky with darkness, but the wind became lighter. Maybe another heavy snowfall was brewing. But even so, there were people cleaning in front of every greenhouse in Lishan Farm.
Under the snow, the old, weak, women and children in the village all went to battle to ensure that every greenhouse had a smooth road for rescuers to reach when in danger.
Fang Jun stood on a slightly higher mountain road and looked around. The mountains in front of him were vast and crisscrossed with ravines. The entire Lishan Mountain was covered with heavy snow. There were no more mountain flowers blooming in spring and no summer flowers.
It is lush and lush, not to mention covered with yellow leaves and maple trees in autumn, leaving only a lonely white.
White and lifeless, lonely and lonely.
All greenhouses are built in Shanyang, with earth walls built against the hillside to resist the cold wind from the north as much as possible, converting every ounce of sunlight into heat to increase the temperature inside the greenhouse, and there is even more hidden smoke inside the earth walls.
In extreme weather conditions, charcoal fires will be used to smoke the walls of the shed to heat up the shed, so that it can still provide enough temperature for the crops even in the severe winter.
He rode his horse along the cleared mountain road and arrived at a collapsed greenhouse. He dismounted and circled around the greenhouse.
The cucumber seedlings in the shed have climbed all over the shelf. The palm-long cucumbers are slender and curved. They have been frozen by the ice and snow, and the original emerald green has turned into a lifeless dark green...
All the designs of the greenhouse are very reasonable, and even the glass used for lighting on the roof is becoming more and more transparent and smoother with the updating and improvement of firing technology.
The key reason why many greenhouses have been collapsed by heavy snowfall is that there is a problem with the support structure of the roof, apart from the heavy snowfall.
The greenhouse looks like a right-angled triangle when viewed from the side. The earth wall built against the mountain on the north side is erected high to resist the cold wind and keep the greenhouse warm. From the top of the wall to the south side is a slope from high to low, which can be used as much as possible during the day.
To absorb sunlight and heat up the shed, the slope is built and fixed with wooden poles, and glass is laid flat on it.
There is naturally a lot of wood in Lishan Mountain, which can be used after cutting it down and resting for a while. However, the wood that is too thick is too heavy and heavy, and the weight is staggering after being covered with glass. Moreover, due to the limited craftsmanship, it is impossible for the current glass to have many layers.
A large piece is very thick, and small pieces of glass are laid flat on it. Every two pieces must be placed on the same purlin. If the purlin is too thick, it will block almost all the sunlight...
Therefore, wood with the thickness of a bowl is used, so that it can bear the weight of the glass without blocking the sun. However, the load-bearing capacity is obviously insufficient, which is usually fine. Once the snow accumulates and there is no time to clean it, the weight will increase and the purlin will collapse.
Not surprising.
Many servants in charge of the greenhouse followed Fang Jun. Seeing him walking around the collapsed greenhouse thoughtfully, they all said in shame: "It's all our fault for being lazy, because the snow poop delayed the cleaning of the snow on the roof of the shed.
I thought it would be fine, but unexpectedly it collapsed..."
Although the people directly responsible for these greenhouses have been beaten to death with sticks and expelled, but even so, the rest of them feel ashamed of Fang Jun.
They are all victims of previous floods, refugees from all over the world. It is a blessing to be able to receive the blessing of Fang Jun. They have a piece of land to cultivate and a house to settle down in Lishan Mountain, let alone Fang Jun.
They also built so many greenhouses for them to cultivate and cultivate, making them a well-off family.
So many greenhouses were collapsed by heavy snow, the greenhouses themselves were rebuilt, and the crops inside the greenhouses froze to death. The combined effects were staggering.
Fang Jun smiled and comforted: "You don't have to be so frightened. The reason why it collapsed under the heavy snow was that the snow was not cleared in time. Of course, it was an important factor, but the design of the greenhouse itself also had problems. Besides, no one is at fault? Since
The punishment has been passed, everyone just needs to put down their minds and work diligently in the future."
No matter whether it is a country or a family, we can neither treat each other blindly, be gentle and polite, nor can we always be strict and high-handed in governing. We must have both kindness and power. Some people have to be a good person, and some people have to be a bad person. Lu Cheng
Zhuangzi's methods have already made everyone in Zhuangzi tremble and fear, so he does not need to go further, but should soothe him.
One piece and one piece of mind, the way of civility and martial arts, is also the best principle in the world.
"There are rumors outside that Erlang is violent, willful and willful, which is really unreasonable. Erlang is clearly the best master in the world!"
"Who says it's not the case? We all depend on Erlang for our lives. If we do something wrong, we will accept the punishment. No one dares to have any grudges."
"Don't worry, Erlang. We all know that these greenhouses are prepared for raising seedlings. Even if we risk our lives, we will never miss Erlang's important event!"
Fang Jun nodded in response and said happily: "That's it. Although rewards and punishments must be clear, we are all our own people after all. As long as you do well, how can I be stingy with rewards? Only by working together can the family business be transformed."
The business is booming and everything is prosperous.”
All the servants were smiling brightly, and their fighting spirit was as high as chicken blood.
Back in Zhuangzi, Fang Jun convened several craftsmen to discuss ways to transform the support structure of the greenhouse. An old craftsman stroked his beard and muttered: "If you want to transform the current support structure of the greenhouse, you can either increase the glass to reduce the number of purlins."
To avoid too many purlins blocking the sun, or to find a harder wood as purlins that is thin enough and can bear the weight of the glass... But both are difficult."
It is almost impossible to improve the technology in the short term to increase the area of the entire glass, and it is not easy to find harder wood to make purlins... Because the glass is placed on top, the purlins cannot be deformed. The most important thing is that they are "hard"
"Rather than "tough", once the purlin deforms, it will cause all the glass covering it to break.
Fang Jun thought for a while and said: "For the time being, add more beams and columns to support the purlins in the greenhouse, and then I will discuss with the iron factory to see if a batch of iron beams can be cast to replace the current purlins."
Several old craftsmen and Lu Cheng were speechless, wondering if this prodigal son knew what he was talking about?
Use iron to make purlins?
How much iron will be used?
It should be noted that iron ore mining is now troublesome, and even improvements in the iron-making process are limited. Even if iron materials are cheaper than copper materials, if it is used on a large scale as purlins for greenhouses, it will cost an unknown amount of money.
What's more, the iron material is soft and difficult to support a sufficient amount of glass without deformation...
Fang Jun was confident. The iron material was soft, but it didn't need to be cast into iron beams as thick as a bowl. That way, there wouldn't be heavy snowfall and the greenhouse would collapse on its own.
All you need to do is cast the iron bars. The material is insufficient and the structure must be made up...
