Almost all of these bricks were transported inside the city, and only a few were transported outside the city. These that were shipped outside the city were also bought by some people. They didn't have any land in the city, which didn't mean they didn't want to build new houses, but they built new houses on the ground where they now built after the bricks were brought over. Dong Ce did not block this behavior, he could cover it if he wanted, anyway, this is people's own wishes.

Another area that has changed is the blacksmith's workshop.

The Blacksmith's Workshop is now split into two sections, the Cold Weapon Group and the Hot Weapon Group. The Cold Weapons Group had already stopped the task of building cavalry spears and Cossack cavalry knives, because the number of cavalry spears and Cossack cavalry knives they had built had reached the number that Dong Ce had ordered. They are now working hard to build the Iron Leaf Armor, and the Hot Weapon Team is working hard to build the Lu Mi Gun.

A few days ago, Dong Ce personally went to the blacksmith workshop, so the cold weapon group and the hot weapon group each had a new task.

In addition to the hot weapon team to build the Lu Mi gun, Dong Ce ordered them to allocate one-third of their manpower to build a lifting gun, yes, a large lifting pole with a power comparable to a small artillery.

On the side of the cold weapon group, Dong Ce also asked them to allocate one-third of their manpower to make spears.

It was a spear and not a cavalry spear, this time the spear that Dong Ce ordered them to build was not the same as the cavalry spear that was specially built for Dong Ce's family before, the length of the cavalry spear was about five meters, and the length of the spear created this time was about one zhang and four feet, that is, a little more than four meters.

Moreover, Dong Ce has made it very clear to the craftsmen that as long as the spear built this time is strong and strong enough, there is no need to be as particular as the cavalry spear built before. In fact, to put it bluntly, on the basis of the existing spears used by the Ming army, lengthen, sturdy, and slightly thickened, a little stronger in all aspects, so that it is more powerful and more durable.

Of course, Dong Ce did not relax his requirements for the sharpness of the spearhead, requiring its sharpness to reach the same level as the cavalry spear, at least not too much worse.

As soon as Dong Ce said such a request, the cold weapon team immediately knew what to do.

After Dong Ce asked Zhao Tiean, as well as a few other more experienced blacksmiths, he also had a bottom in his heart. According to these craftsmen, since Dong Ce's requirements for this spear were much lower than those for cavalry spears, the speed of manufacturing was also much faster. With today's manpower, we should be able to make thirty or forty of these spears every day.

On November 26 of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the sun was shining, and it was originally a very dry and cold day, but it seemed to be a little warmer because of this sunshine. Today, the sky is beautiful, and the wind has stopped.

The ugly square of the four squares of the rock fort has a large open space, and these open spaces are separated by shallow small ditches. This ditch is very shallow, only about three or four inches wide and three or four inches deep. Such a ditch is not used for drainage, but for dividing the homestead.

Yanggou divides the ground into pieces, and each piece is a family's homestead.

At this time, many homesteads are full of bricks, but there are not many who are busy building houses, because there is only one team that can build houses in the Rock Fort, more than a dozen people, even if they are divided into three or four teams to build houses, they can only build three or four houses at the same time. So many families buy bricks to pile up here, and then pay a deposit, and when it's their turn, they will come and build a house.

Choufang's No. 17 land is the homestead assigned by Qian Yichuan's family.

At this moment, Zheng was standing next to this clearing, raising his feet, looking into the distance.

She was still carrying a small baby in her arms, this baby must have entered the rock for the first time, and she had probably never seen many things like this before, nor had she ever seen such a tall city wall, let alone a procession of people and a cart full of large bricks. So his very curious little head wandered around, his eyes dripping, and his eyes chased a distant cart from time to time.

This piece of land is about four zhang long from east to west and about three zhang wide from north to south. This was given to Qian Yichuan when he first entered the Rock Fort Infantry Army, and now the Zheng family is waiting here because his family is about to start building a house. The land is smaller than Zheng Fakui's land, and the lot is not as good as the land divided by Zheng Fakui's family. However, Qian Yichuan and Zheng did not know about these. Even if you know, you won't complain. It would be nice for them to be able to share a piece of land and to be able to live in the fort.

They were glad that they had arrived early, knowing that a considerable number of the displaced people who came to the Rock Fort later had not been able to get a homestead in the fort. Because the rock fort is so big, the boundary for the people to live in is the four squares of Zichou Yinmao, and the boundary is so big, it will be gone after it is divided. Those displaced people who came late could not be distinguished, and no one could do anything.

On the day that Qian Yichuan got the letter home to inform Zheng, Zheng hurried to the fort and went to the shop that sold bricks to buy bricks, but unfortunately, she got the news a little late, and she went a little late. There were too many people in front of him, and the people in the store told her that if she paid the deposit now, she could assure him that the bricks would definitely have her share, but because there were too many people in the front row, it would take about ten or twenty days before the bricks could be delivered to him.

At that time, Zheng was not happy when he heard it, and quarreled with the people in the store, but the quarrel was noisy, and in the end, he couldn't do anything, so he honestly paid the deposit.

Today is the day when I told the people in the store to send the bricks to her homestead.

These days, Zheng can be said to be unable to sleep without knowing the taste of food, and looking forward to the arrival of this day. On this day, she came early and waited here, but after waiting for a full morning, the brick deliverers came again and again, but they were all sent to other people's homesteads, but they never came from her.

A dense layer of sweat has oozed from Zheng's forehead, it is warmer today, and the cotton jacket she is wearing is thick, so it is a little hot. But this is not the main reason, the main reason is that she is very nervous, for fear that the brick will not be delivered today.

She was already waiting impatiently, and muttered to herself in a low voice, "Why haven't you sent it yet?" Why haven't you sent it yet? It's been a long wait. ”

At the beginning, I was talking about this, and then I had already brought some unclean curse words in my mouth, gritting my teeth and secretly ruthless: "If you dare not send it today, the old lady will go and smash your broken shop." ”

After waiting for a while, at about noon, Zheng saw a brick-pulling cart coming from the intersection from a distance. Her mind suddenly warmed up, and she whispered: "If this car of bricks is not Lao Niang's, Lao Niang will go over and smash your broken shop now." ”

It's just that what makes her more and more excited is that the board car is really coming directly at her family's homestead.

In the end, the cart stopped next to Qian Yichuan's homestead.

Zheng was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high, but he still had words in his mouth, which was a bit unforgiving.

"I sent it so late, I must find your store later, and make it clear."

She muttered as she walked briskly towards the cart, and shouted from afar, "Is this cart of bricks for my family?" ”

This kind of cart is not pulled by animals, but by people in front, and in fact this kind of cart is very common in today's Rock Fort. Because there are very few large animals in Rock Fort, and even if there are, they are basically used for ploughing, and very few are used for pulling carts.

The person who was pulling just now had to bend over because he had to exert himself, and Zheng didn't see what he looked like, but he felt that this person was extremely tall and strong, although he was bent over, he was even a little taller than others standing.

At this moment, the person who was pulling straightened up and grinned at her.

As soon as Zheng saw his appearance clearly, he immediately gasped, his heart beat hard, he screamed in his mouth, took a step back, and almost fainted. The child in her arms was originally shaken to sleep by her, but she was startled at this time, and suddenly burst into tears.

For a while, adults made children cry, chickens flew and dogs jumped. The man pulling the cart scratched his head, looking innocent.
