Duan Wenjun did not expect that Tuesday Dog and the others would find the limestone so quickly.
He asked Tuesday Dog and the others to follow him back to the Duan family compound, and arranged for them to wash and freshen up. He waited until they had finished eating and rested for a while before calling him to the study.
Also coming with Tuesday Dog was Zhao Xiaowu.
Tuesday Gou felt that he should bring Zhao Xiaowu to meet Duan Wenjun.
Because he felt that the credit for finding the limestone was not his, but Zhao Xiaowu's.
If it weren't for Zhao Xiaowu, the group of them might have been lost in that cave.
If it weren't for Zhao Xiaowu, all of them would have died in the snake's belly.
He felt that this distant relative of the second aunt Zhou's family was a very remarkable person.
He was credited with finding the limestone.
The place where the limestone was discovered is actually not very far from Duanjiabao.
After knowing the location, it was only about half a day's journey into the mountain, and it was inside a cave.
However, because the place was difficult to find, they took many detours and took wrong paths, thus wasting so many days.
And Tuesday Dog said that there is a lot of limestone in that mountainous area.
After they entered the cave, they saw this kind of limestone for miles.
However, the roads in the cave were complicated and they did not dare to go too deep, so they came back first to report the news.
Duan Wenjun rewarded several people heavily and asked them to go back and rest first.
On the way back, Zhao Xiaowu felt very conflicted.
It has been more than half a month since Zhao Dachui asked him to leave Moon Island quietly.
According to Zhao Dachui's instructions, after he came to the Zhou family to settle down, he has been trying his best to build a good relationship with the folks there, waiting for Zhao Dachui's next instructions.
In that sudden mudslide, he and several brothers saved the villagers and gained recognition from everyone in Luozi.
Even Tuesday Dog, who had always been valued by Duan Wenjun, even proposed to become a brother with him.
The Zhou family's Luozi was destroyed. He was still worried about what to do in the future, but unexpectedly, Duan Wenjun arranged for everyone in the Luozi to live in Duanjiabao.
He couldn't understand. What on earth did Duan Wenjun want to do?
According to Zhao Xiaowu's thinking, the people who settled in the Zhou family were just a group of tenant farmers from the Duan family.
If the owner can sympathize with them and give them a few tokens of money, it is already an act of great kindness.
However, Duan Wenjun actually arranged to live in a large brick house with tiles, provided with three meals a day, and took no money...
Duan Wenjun arranged work for them and told them to make money and rebuild their homes as soon as possible.
This undoubtedly gave hope to everyone in the Zhou family after the severe disaster.
Zhao Xiaowu felt that such a young master must have a missing string in his head to do such ridiculous things.
The money he spent on those farmers didn't even know how many years of rent it would take to get it back.
However, Zhao Xiaowu saw expressions of gratitude in the eyes of the Zhou family members.
Even his brothers think that Duan Wenjun is a good boss.
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xiaowu felt that it seemed normal.
It seems that Duan Wenjun's thinking cannot be measured by ordinary people's thinking.
How many ridiculous things has he done?
Just like that day, I led people to ambush him.
He could have taken his own life, but he let himself go.
Moreover, he also asked himself to say something to wake up his brother and make him discover Uncle De's ulterior motives.
Living in Duanjiabao, life is indeed much easier than in Zhoujialuozi.
However, there is no chance to inquire about the situation of Moon Island.
In particular, Zhao Xiaowu was worried that if the Zhou family was destroyed, if Zhao Dachui sent someone to deliver a message to him but could not find him, it would easily delay the important event.
So, when he learned that the dog was going to help Duan Wenjun find some limestone on Tuesday, he volunteered to go along.
He originally thought about trying to find someone to contact Zhao Dachui, but he didn't expect that he would go into the mountain for several days and almost lose his life in the mountain.
As soon as he returned to his place of residence, his brothers gathered around him.
After hearing what happened in the past few days, Zhao Xiaowu's face turned livid.
Tie Hulu, the fourth leader of Moon Island, has always been at odds with his brother Zhao Dachui, and now he actually defected to the court.
People from Prince Rui's Mansion in Lingxiao City had just transported 20,000 shi of grain from Duanjia Fort.
The officers and soldiers besieging Moon Island seemed to be mobilized more frequently.
This is undoubtedly sending a signal that the imperial court is really going to take action against Moon Island.
Zhao Xiaowu understood that Moon Island had reached a moment of life and death.
Just two days ago, Zhao Dachui had already sent a message.
It was still the same sentence that told them not to act rashly no matter what news they heard.
At this moment, Huo Xiaoqi stood up.
He and Zhao Xiaowu are similar in age. The two grew up together and are highly regarded by Zhao Xiaowu.
Huo Xiaoqi said that Duan Wenjun had talked to him a few days ago, and he had been waiting for Zhao Xiaowu to come back to discuss it.
In fact, Duan Wenjun already knew the identities of Zhao Xiaowu and the others from the first day they moved into Duanjiabao with the Zhou family's Luozi people.
However, he never exposed them.
The reason is simple, because Duan Wenjun feels that they are not bad people.
Otherwise, they would not have risked their lives to save the villagers when there was a mudslide.
After Zhao Xiaowu heard this, he was definitely a little funny. This young master's thinking is really different. He actually thinks that bandits are not bad people.
However, Dou Xiaoqi also said that Duan Wenjun told him that he noticed that Uncle De would be harmful to Zhao Dachui.
Duan Wenjun came to Hao Xiaoqi just to find out about Uncle De.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaowu frowned even more tightly.
He was still secretly lucky that Duan Wenjun didn't recognize him.
But he didn't expect that his every move was already under Duan Wenjun's surveillance.
Duan Wenjun didn't expose his identity, not because he didn't discover it, but because he didn't bother to do so.
Zhao Xiaowu knew that this was Duan Wenjun's self-confidence. He was confident that people like them could not afford to make trouble.
When he thought of this, he seemed to feel a little depressed.
What made him a little strange was that he didn't feel too nervous at the moment, but felt very magnanimous.
He suddenly understood the reason why his brother had repeatedly told him not to act rashly.
It seems that I can't be reckless now, so I'd better wait for the next instruction from my brother.
Since Duan Wenjun didn't expose his identity, he just pretended to be confused.
…
Those who followed the dog into the mountains on Tuesday were given a day off for the past few days, but the dog was still very busy on Tuesday.
He had just received a new task from Shaodong's family, asking him to tinker with a new thing called "cement".
Under the curious eyes of everyone, several small kilns were set up in the open space behind Duanjiaji, and then they were surrounded by wooden boards.
The blacksmith Ma Xinyuan cast several iron lumps that no one had ever seen before and placed them inside the wooden fence.
Then, one after another, many raw materials were sent in.
The Shaodong family had iron ore slag transported back from Qifeng Cliff, clay retrieved from the mountains behind the south slope, and many milky white stones retrieved from unknown sources.
Everyone knows that Shaodong’s family must be coming up with something new.
However, no one knows what he is going to do this time.
Duan Wenjun has been very busy these two days, arranging the division of labor among workers, personally observing various procedures, and eating with the workers.
On Tuesday, the dog stayed with him.
Duan Wenjun asked him to write down every step clearly and accurately.
Duan Wenjun told him that this will be an extremely important industry in Duanjiabao in the future and is related to the future of Duanjiabao.
Moreover, this matter will be left to him, Tuesday Dog, in the future.
Tuesday Dog, excited.
He is just a farmer, and the Shaodong family can think so highly of him. Even if he is a mess, he can't repay the Shaodong family.
However, Shaodongjia had specifically warned him that he only wanted Tuesday Dog and his workers to know about this process. If word spread...
Duan Wenjun didn't say the next words, but Tuesday Dog already understood the deeper meaning.
He would never let this happen...
