The heavens begin from practicing swords in the palace

After Zhao Qiu opened his mouth, Zhao Changhong was also satisfied.

Qingshan Town is the largest town in the county, with a total of thirteen villages and tens of thousands of people.

The village that Zhao Qiu asked for was called Heishui Village, which bordered Heifeng Mountain.

Precisely because it borders Heifeng Mountain and has been frequently robbed by bandits, the folk customs of this village are extremely tough.

Almost every family cultivates martial arts. Although the poor are rich in culture and martial arts, and the children of poor families do not have the support of meat and medicinal materials, they will not be able to practice any masters, but there are some false tricks.

The village chief of Heishui Village, surnamed Xie, surnamed Baogui, is a distant relative of Xie's family.

Zhao Qiu led the people from Heifeng Mountain and several Zhao family's children to go there, and after taking over Heishui Village, he cleaned up the remaining forces of Xie's family without bloodshed.

The Xie family has been entrenched in Qingshan Town and Heishui Village for a long time, and it will always attract a group of people, and it will inevitably suppress a group of people.

Throughout history, there have been very few people in power who have taken care of everyone.

Therefore, after Zhao Qiu led the old lunatic and others to Heishui Village, the first thing to do was to suppress Xie Baogui and others.

The extermination that should be exterminated, the expulsion that should be expelled.

Immediately afterwards, those who were oppressed by the Xie family were recruited, the land was distributed, and a small amount of money was distributed.

The land in Heishui Village was quickly redistributed.Of course, the land of the original village chief Xie Baogui and others was "naturally" distributed to the old lunatic and others.

Of the 1 taels of silver obtained from the looting of Xie's house, [-] taels of it were also distributed to the old lunatic and others.

Although these people are Zhao Qiu's subordinates, recently, in addition to strict management, they have also gained some benefits. Zhao Qiu knew very well that the horses should not be allowed to run all the time, but some grass had to be fed to the horses.

Of course, with land and a stable environment, who is willing to become a bandit who is full and hungry all day long.

Of course, just some land and a stable environment are not enough to completely bind the bandits in Heishui Village, and they need to have a family.

Coincidentally, after killing Xie Baogui, a group of village women came out...

The remaining [-] taels of silver, according to Zhao Qiu's thinking, will be used to build Heishui Village.

The first thing to do is to build the city.

However, this main world is quite similar to the ancient times in the previous life. Those big stones are easy to find, but there is an extreme lack of glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice is originally a kind of rice with high stickiness. After being carefully rolled manually, it can form a fine powder.

However, sticking stones with glutinous rice pulp is easy to be eaten and destroyed by bacteria, and it will lose its effectiveness after a long time.

Therefore, lime is needed. This lime is a very cheap mineral in nature. When this white substance encounters water, it will produce a highly alkaline environment, and bacteria cannot survive. Then add rice powder into the lime, Then stir it with water to make a non-rotten glutinous rice mortar mixture.

This kind of glutinous rice mortar is a composite mortar made of organic and inorganic materials. Compared with pure lime mortar, it is stronger and more water-resistant. It is very strong to build tombs, pagodas, and city walls.

The big city in the main world is made of this kind of glutinous rice mortar.

However, the productivity of this world is still relatively backward. When many people cannot afford to eat, glutinous rice is a luxury item.

Therefore, even the city walls of the county seat are quite small.Only those state capitals have the manpower and material resources to build big cities and strong cities.

Zhao Qiu thought to himself: "It's just that I have experienced the previous life, but I know how to make simple cement! It saves the biggest expense!"

What he has learned in his previous life is his greatest reliance.

The production method of simple cement is much simplified, mainly by grinding limestone and clay into flour, and then calcining the clinker.

Then use clinker and the slag left after ironmaking to grind together, this is cement.This simple method of making cement was commonly known as the local method of burning cement in Zhao Qiu's previous life.

Later, Zhao Qiu hired more than a hundred people, including stonemasons, pickers and others, and began to split rocks from a small hill not far away.Then the stones were transported to the small village and the construction of the city wall began.

The daily expenditure of these hundreds of people is only half a tael of silver. After all, in this world, half a tael of silver is enough to cover the expenses of a family for half a month.

In the process of cutting mountains and rocks, stonemasons used the gunpowder of this world.

Zhao Qiu asked Mason about the formula of gunpowder in this world, which is quite different from his previous life.But the effectiveness of the two is almost the same.

Zhao Qiu thought to himself: "In this way, the muskets and so on in the previous life can be made in this life! Unfortunately, this requires a lot of craftsmen, blacksmiths, etc. It cannot be done overnight, and it will not be made in a short time."

Although he couldn't make muskets and cannons, he had experienced several martial arts worlds. Although hidden weapons were much less powerful, in the main world, they could equip people who were not good at martial arts.

After all, being poor and rich, the villagers of Heishui Village are good at putting on airs, but they are not very useful in fighting with others.

When he was in the world of martial arts, he learned Tianyun Wuhuamian from his old friend Fairy Yunmeng.

The power of Tianyun Wuhuamian is astonishing, even if an old man who is unarmed and without force holds it, when he makes a sudden move, the first and second level fighters will lose their lives if they are caught off guard.

However, the method of making Tianyun Wuhua is not easy. Even if the materials are complete, three or five craftsmen must work day and night to complete it.

Zhao Qiu secretly sighed, thinking in his heart: "The next step is to recruit craftsmen with a lot of money! Unfortunately, my current money is still not enough! Perhaps, the only way to obtain the savings of Heifeng Mountain is to have a chance!"

Well-made weapons and hidden weapons require the cooperation of three or five experienced craftsmen, and the materials required are extremely difficult.

Iron mines and so on in this world are in the hands of the government and powerful forces, and even large blacksmith shops and so on are also under control.

The original plan in Zhao Qiu's heart was to gather hundreds of craftsmen to develop weapons such as muskets, bows and arrows, hidden weapons, etc., and then produce them in an assembly line, and then turn the world upside down.
