Chapter 363 Talent Emerges

The ring is an earthen bed, with a blazing fire underneath it, and Xiang and Jishi living on it, called the kang, to keep warm. This is the fire kang. The truly mature earth kang appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

For ordinary people, the heated kang is the most convenient and affordable way to stay warm during the winter.

After the task of building the kang was completed, the civil engineering and construction workshop of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce began to get busy.

It is not difficult to set up a fire kang. The most important thing is to have a good flue. In addition, Lu Songli and the others have experience in setting up a kang when they passed through Chen Changan's hometown - Qingxi Village in Yanzhou.

The people in the civil engineering and construction workshop were all experienced craftsmen, and they were guided by others, so they quickly got started.

As a result, Liaodong County launched a vigorous land-and-kang operation.

Because these craftsmen don't hide the skills of making a kang, anyone who wants to learn can come over and learn from it. After learning it, you can go back and make the kang yourself.

If you don't want to do it yourself and want to hire craftsmen from a civil engineering workshop, you will have to pay some labor and material fees. The most expensive material is green bricks.

Villages in Liaodong County are also focusing on the topic of Pan Kang.

Wangping County, Lihua Village

In the morning, the ladies and daughters-in-law came to the small pier by the river to wash themselves with their dirty clothes and quilts.

Everyone took a piece of soap and spread out the wet clothes. Then they gently rubbed the soap on it, applied a thin layer on it, and started scrubbing.

Soap is already sold in Liaodong County. Palm-sized soap weighs two taels and costs two cents a piece. The price is not expensive. Use sparingly, one piece can last a month.

Women and girls all like it, and the laundry is particularly clean.

There is also a purchase limit of five yuan per household per month.

The people from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce made it clear that it was sold to locals. Whenever it was sold to other places or to outsiders, it would never be at this price.

The ladies were washing their clothes and chatting.

"Does your family have a Kang bed?"

"plate!"

"My family also has a plate, and the head of my family is already collecting suitable yellow mud."

"I heard that blue bricks are used for the Kang bed. Green bricks are very expensive." This was hesitant.

“It’s not necessarily necessary to use blue bricks all the time. If conditions permit, use green bricks as the foundation. If not, use stones as the foundation.”

"Don't be so picky about So So Sou. This year, your men and the eldest and second sons have all gone out to work, so you've made a lot of money, right?"

"It's good to make money, but the fire bed is indeed an additional expense."

"Have you seen the fire bed at the old village chief's house? I don't believe you don't like it?" Don't be too comfortable lying on it in winter.

Some people can't bear to be too fussy, "If the people above weren't afraid that we would freeze to death in the winter, they wouldn't have come up with this fire kang. You are lucky enough to be married to our Liaodong County, why are you still hesitating about it?" Damn it, I can’t even think about it elsewhere.”

"If you don't feel sorry for yourself, don't you also feel sorry for your men and your children?"

"Ignore her. If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to, don't do it. The boss won't force anyone."

"Hey, I've finished washing. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going back to help pick out the yellow mud."

Many people are very open-minded. This Huokang market is available in the morning and evening. It's still early to enjoy the early dishes.

Liaodong County, County Sheriff's Office

The subordinate came to report, "Mrs. Qin Liu, Chen Jinshui would like to see you."

Lu Songli was a little surprised. She had a good memory. Chen Jinshui and Liu Erxi were friends Qin Sheng made in the market when he was in Chang'an.

Liu Erxi has always been very active in doing things, has a flexible mind, and is highly regarded. He was previously arranged to go south to take charge of the sales of foot-operated threshing machines. At this time, he should be with Qin Sheng.

In comparison, Chen Jinshui's performance was inferior.

"Did something happen?"

"He didn't say anything. He said he wanted to tell you in person."

"Then please arrange a time."

Chen Jinshui arrived at the county governor's house and waited nervously.

Qin Liuye, whom he and Liu Erxi met together.

Now in Liaodong County, everyone is completely different. He didn't dare to compete with Mr. Qin Liu, but compared with his good brother, he was too far behind and felt embarrassed.

When the Qin family was exiled, Liu Erxi and he were busy making preparations.

Before setting off, he did not accompany them on their journey to exile because he had rescued a child who went into the water in winter and fell ill.

Later, it happened that the Qin and Lu families were seeking the position of governor of Liaodong County for Mr. Lu, and Liu Erxi was always appointed.

This was the first time that he and Liu Erxi distanced themselves.

Later, after he came to Liaodong County with the Xu family and the families of the Yang Wei Escort Bureau, Qin Liuye and Liu Erxi also kept trying to attract him, and he himself was working hard.

Finally, a big opportunity came, a big opportunity in the Southland.

But he was a bit unlucky. He was injured while attacking Yali Mountain Village in Fang County. We can't go to the Southland together.

Now, the distance between the two is getting wider and wider, and he has to find a way to catch up.

Liaodong County currently has many talented people, and new ones are constantly emerging. Chen Jinshui knew very well that it would be difficult for him to get ahead in Liaodong County.

Wu Ren and his party went out to lay trade roads, which gave him some ideas.

Just when Chen Jinshui was in confusion, a small official from the government office invited him in.

After Chen Jinshui came in, he bowed to Lu Songli and said, "Meet Madam Qin Liu."

Lu Songli said gently, "You're welcome, you are Ah Sheng's brother, you can call me Sixth Sister-in-law like before."

"No, no, no, this moment and that moment." Chen Jinshui shook his head like a rattle.

Lv Songli did not force him, and said, "You came to see me today, is there anything? Or do you have any difficulties? If so, just tell us, we will definitely help you if we can."

"It's like this..." Chen Jinshui explained his intention and thoughts to Lv Songli.

After Lv Songli understood his intention, to be honest, he was a little surprised.

Liaodong County is their base camp. If they want to develop Liaodong County well, they need not only a smooth internal circulation, but also an external circulation system. In this way, they need a vanguard.

She looked at the man in front of her seriously, and she didn't expect Chen Jinshui to see that Liaodong County had this need. Maybe there is his selfishness in this, but he dares to take risks, fight, and jump out of his comfort zone. He is also forward-looking, and he can be said to be a very good talent.

While waiting for Mrs. Qin Liu's reply, Chen Jinshui was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

Lu Songli thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to go out and try your luck, I have an opportunity here. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Okay!"

...

After explaining the matter, Lu Songli encouraged his subordinates as usual, "Do a good job, I look forward to your next performance. If you have any difficulties, feel free to contact me."

Chen Jinshui was very excited, "Thank you, Madam Qin Liu, I will definitely work hard."

When Chen Jinshui went out, his steps were floating. He didn't expect that he actually got an opportunity, a very good opportunity.
