Chapter 280 Entering Salt Lake Village
Wang Dong didn’t take it seriously when he learned from Zhou Chongshankou that there were several villages under Zhou Xu’s command.
After all, Tieshan Village, where the infrastructure construction had just been completed, looks like a fairly neatly planned, but very simple village.
And Wang Dong actually doesn’t know much about village construction. No one told him whether the functional facilities in this village have been built or not. There is such a big difference!
Infrastructure is only to meet the most basic survival needs of the villagers. It is the lower limit of a village, while the upper limit depends on the arrangement of various functional facilities.
For now, compared with Tieshan Village, Huangshan Village is more than one or two levels higher.
Normally, Zhou Xu wouldn't mind taking Wang Dong around the barren mountain village for two days, but now the start of winter is getting closer day by day.
He was now anxious to go back and take care of things in the weaving factory, so after a night's rest, he set off early the next morning.
Cross the barren mountain and arrive at the inn at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the inn, the cattle and horses resting in the inn, and the wooden carts parked nearby, Wang Dong couldn't help but think...
[This is still a primitive tribe. In terms of facilities and development, it is not far behind those early dynasties. In some parts, it has even surpassed many dynasties! 】
“Teacher Wang, can you ride a horse?”
While Wang Dong was thinking this, Zhou Xu asked the question.
Faced with this problem, Wang Dong looked at the horses eating fodder in the inn, and the expression on Wang Dong's face showed a rare excitement.
“Yes!”
After getting this answer, Zhou Xu could basically determine where Wang Dong was from.
According to the fact that Wang Dong's body has not yet fully recovered, Zhou Xu will certainly not lead him to gallop on horseback, but even if he trots all the way on horseback, it is basically faster than an ox cart.
The two rode horses all the way and passed through the desert Gobi desert very smoothly. Listening to the sound of jingling bells coming from the distance, Zhou Xu pointed out the direction.
“That’s one of my mines over there, rich in copper ore.”
As they spoke, the mine located in the distance had already appeared in their field of vision.
"When we get to the mine, it's not far from Salt Lake Village."
Zhou Xu said while introducing Wang Dong.
In the past, if you wanted to reach Salt Lake Village, you had to pass through the black forest, but now the black forest has been included in the scope of Salt Lake Village.
As soon as they arrived at the outskirts, the village chief Li Shitou, who had received the news in advance, hurried out to greet them.
"Li Shitou, see the leader!"
"No courtesy."
While signaling Li Shitou to waive the courtesy, Zhou Xu immediately turned over and dismounted.
"Chief, the car has been prepared for you."
It is still a bit of a road from here to the interior of Salt Lake Village. For this reason, Li Shitou directly prepared a tricycle for Zhou Xu. Transportation.
In response, Zhou Xu waved his hand.
"My legs were numb after riding all the way. Teacher Wang and I walked in to stretch our bodies and introduce the situation of the village to Teacher Wang."
In Zhou Xudu Having said this, Li Shitou naturally stepped aside obediently.
On the way in, Zhou Xu certainly did not forget to ask a few words about the village affairs, and Li Shitou also answered truthfully.
Unlike when he first took over the position of village chief and was in a hurry every day, after surviving the most difficult getting started stage, he is now able to deal with various ministers and field directors with ease.
While talking, a slightly noisy chicken crow came.
Zhou Xu turned his head, then pointed to the fenced area in the distance and said... "That's a chicken farm. Although the pheasants were caught from Huangshan Village, it's important to say..." In terms of the scale of the chicken farm, the chicken farm in Yanhu Village is larger than that in Huangshan Village! The few chickens and eggs in Huangshan Village are enough to produce and sell them, but the chicken farm in Yanhu Village usually sells to black people. Supplied by Yuecun and Grassland Village."
After saying that, Zhou Xu continued walking inside.
“This is where meat rabbits are raised. Originally, the meat rabbit breeding work was carried out in Heiyue Village. Later, I felt that there was more space here. At the same time, the breeding industry was concentrated in one place, and it was easier to manage. It’s convenient, so I moved here.”
“There is another mine over there, but that mine is underground, so I won’t take you to see it. Let’s go directly to the village.”< br>
Passing through the dark woods, the group soon arrived at the interior of Salt Lake Village.
"Compared with the surrounding fields, the interior of the village is relatively simple. It is the pottery burning field, responsible for firing the pottery we use daily."
"The one near the lake is Salt mining field, Salt Lake Village is called Salt Lake Village because the lake next to it is a salt lake. "
Wang Dong became more and more surprised as he walked along the way.
He never expected that in this primitive era, Zhou Xu, a time traveler, could develop a tribe to this extent.
This cannot be achieved with just some modern knowledge, it also requires strong action!
Many people can talk a lot, but it is simply impossible to ask them to do something.
Invisibly, he already looked at Zhou Xu with admiration.
“The land here in Salt Lake Village is more spacious, and I plan to place both the weaving factory and the paper mill here.”
While speaking, Zhou Xu turned to look at Wang Building.
"You are more familiar with these two tasks than me, so he plans to arrange you here for the next period of time to make the linen first. I need to use linen bags to preserve the food for the winter. Time is running out. You have to hurry up."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu asked Li Shitou who was following him.
“Did the equipment department send you the prepared equipment?”
“Yes, yes! I have kept them all according to your wishes, leader.”
While talking, Li Shitou quickly led Zhou Xu and the others to the warehouse where the equipment was stored.
As soon as the warehouse door opened, the equipment sent from the equipment department suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Among them, the wooden spinning wheel is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.
Zhou Xu quickly called Wang Dong over for confirmation.
"Teacher Wang, do you think these can be used?"
Wang Dong was startled when he walked over and looked at the wooden spinning wheel.
"Chief, the fineness of this handmade wooden spinning wheel is simply beyond my expectation."
At this point, Wang Dong, who seemed to have discovered something again, paused in his voice.
“This joint uses a mortise and tenon structure!”
Hearing this, Zhou Xu smiled proudly.
“This skill should come from my equipment manager.”
At this moment, Wang Dong was obviously very interested in the long-famous Minister of Equipment. Considering the background of the times, someone with such exquisite craftsmanship would definitely be called a 'master'.
While his thoughts were whirling, Wang Dong had already confirmed all the equipment and equipment here, and then nodded.
"I think there should be no problem."
"Okay, your words are enough!"
