The place where Song Tianming chose to build a house was not the original site of Baoshangou, but another plain area at the foot of the mountain, close to the Nujiang River.

It is surrounded by mountains on both sides and water on the other side, leaving only a gap, connecting the official road to Xiahe County.

Compared to the original location of Baoshan Valley, it is safer and wider.

However, the most important reason why the villagers in Baoshangou did not build the village here is that the terrain is low-lying, and once the water level of the Nujiang River rises, it will easily flood here.

The villagers built thatched houses. Once they encountered water, they could not resist them and could easily be washed away by the overflowing river water.

So if you want to build a village here, you must build brick and tile houses with deep foundations, and also raise the height of the house to prevent moisture from entering the water!

So building a house here is not only high material requirements, but also high construction technology requirements!

However, these are not problems for Song Tianming!

When he was in college, he had nothing to do during the summer vacation. He worked as his second uncle, who worked as a contractor, for two months on the construction site and learned a lot of construction knowledge there.

He didn't have the ability to build a tall building, but he could still make it easy to build a small dirt house.

Under Song Tianming's guidance, the veterans and their families quickly grasped the key points, and the foundations were quickly formed as if they were decent.

However, the problem of tools also restricts everyone's construction speed.

Most of the tools here are made of wooden and will not be broken in a long time.

Iron tools are not available.

Song Tianming observed for a while and said to Tiedan who came with him: "Brother Tiedan, do you know how to make iron tools?"

Tiedan nodded: "Yes, yes, but sir, you know that this iron ore is really expensive, and if so many people have a hand in it, it will probably cost a lot of money."

"It's okay, I'm short of everything now, I just don't lack money." Song Tianming felt a secret feeling.

Finally got the chance to say this.

Then he took out a piece of paper and wrote and painted.

Tiedan leaned over and looked for a long time and found that they were all strange tools that he had never seen before.

Then, Song Tianming explained to Tiedan one by one: "This is a curve ruler, used to measure the length and width... This is a push plan, used to polish... This is a saw, which can be used to break materials..."

Moreover, Song Tianming also gave several different styles for each tool to suit different situations.

The more Song Tianming said, the more shocked Tiedan was! These things are much stronger than the things he made before!

Tiedan thinks that the blacksmith has a good craftsmanship, and his craftsmanship is not inferior to the masters in the county.

He just felt that he had never tried to make these things in the past, and the structure of these things was not very complicated. If he designed them himself, he could make them.

But today, he was completely shocked by Song Tianming's exquisite conception.

"Sir, how did you think of these things?"

Song Tianming smiled: "Actually, this is not my idea. I have met an old man named Lu before. He is very good at this. I learned it from him. The old man is much better than me."

"The old man named Lu?" Tiedan nodded silently, feeling that he must find this old man if he has the chance in the future and learn from him.

Song Tianming patted his shoulder and said, "Do you think these things can be made?" Tiedan nodded vigorously and said, "Sir, I will make these things even if I sacrifice my life! If I have these, it will be much more convenient for everyone to work in the future!"

Song Tianming said helplessly: "Brother, this is too serious. Just making some tools, how can you need your life? It's just that these things are difficult to design, and it takes too long to rely on you alone.

So I thought, you can also accept some apprentices.

Then bring your disciples and make these things for me.”

Accepting disciples is no small matter. Tiedan thought for a while before saying, "Sir, these things are amazing. If you are learned by outsiders, you will suffer a great loss to you!"

Tiedan said this well. As the saying goes, if you teach your apprentice to starve your master to death, and you will learn to establish your own business, wouldn’t Song Tianming suffer a great loss?

But Song Tianming didn't care: "I didn't plan to make money from these things from the beginning. This thing was designed for everyone to use. If everyone could use it, wouldn't I have done a great thing? Then I wouldn't be happy yet!"

Hearing this, Tiedan finally understood and patted her chest and promised: "Sir, as long as I have a breath, I will definitely help you do it!"

He was too lazy to correct Tiedan's habit of always loving to guarantee his own life.

Then, Song Tianming discussed with him for a while, made some marks on the drawings before handing them over to him, asking him to ride a fast horse and take the two veterans to the county town immediately.

Song Tianming also told him that if there was any problem, he would go to three other restaurants to find Cheng Hu and Erniu, and they would help him solve the problem.

In addition, he also asked him to call Chuxiong by the way and help him with his work.

Tiedan seemed to have received the emperor's imperial edict and ran towards the county town without stopping.

Song Tianming looked at the construction site for a while and found that everyone was doing well, so he handed over the matter here to Jiang Yu for the time being and took the people back to the county town first.

As for the women, children and elderly people here, Jiang Yu would send them to the city later. Those who are willing to help can also stay here to continue working. Anyway, there are some old houses in Baoshangou that can be temporarily lived in, and Song Tianming would also take care of their three meals a day.

However, he also knew that Jiang Yu could not stay here forever. After he settled down, the veterans would definitely return to the court to report and had to go to the front line to fight.

Being able to stay and help me so much is already giving me a lot of face.

But so far, there is still no one who has completely believed in it. He can help him teach these veterans how to train and lead them.

These jobs fell on Song Tianming again, which was a huge pressure for him.

So after returning to the restaurant, he kept thinking about who can help him solve this urgent problem now.

Until late at night, both women could not resist the sleepiness and went back to the room to sleep with resentment, leaving only Song Tianming still in the study and frowning.

By chance, he fell asleep and happened to be on his pillow. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a knock on the door from the restaurant.

Song Tianming pushed open the door and shouted, "Xiao Tang, go and see who is here! It's so late, I'm afraid I'm going to stay in a hotel!"

Xiao Tang has now become Song Tianming's personal secretary. He no longer runs the hall, but specializes in doing business and running errands in the building, and is highly valued by Song Tianming.

Xiao Tang hurried downstairs and opened the door. As soon as he saw the person in front of him, he shouted in surprise: "Master Wei?"

It’s not someone else who comes, it’s Blind Wei!

Xiao Tang hurriedly ran upstairs again. When Song Tianming heard that it was Blind Wei, he was both excited and confused.

You should know that this time he returned to Dongpan Township was to find some young and strong soldiers to be private soldiers for him, and his favorite was Blind Wei!

After arriving in the village, he asked He Shuang to ask the other party to find it, but he learned that Wei Blind Wei had left the village at some point!

He didn't inform anyone when he left, and left quietly. It took several days before someone found out that he was gone, and he didn't know where he went.

Song Tianming inquired in the village for a long time before he learned from the old Lichang that Blind Wei was likely to have gone to Huainan.

That's right, it's the Huainan where the Huainan Hou is located.

No one knows what he is doing there, only the old friend can guess one or two.

In fact, Wei Xiaozi was not from Dongpan Township, and his ancestral home was in Huainan. Later, because he was hiding from the war, he followed his parents to Yangzhou.

His parents died shortly after they arrived due to a plague, leaving him alone.

He also joined the army here and retired from the army here.

He has been here for more than 20 years. In these years, he has never heard of his hometown, nor has he seen him leave Xiahe County.

In the eyes of the younger generation, he seemed to be the one here. Only those who were older knew that Wei Wei was actually an outsider.
