Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Germination

In the past few days, I have been concentrating on the new machines in the weaving workshop, running back without getting off work.The key is to adopt a new technology. The screw mouth seems simple, but the principle of thread picking needs to be explained in detail to the carpenter, or the wood must be suffocated.

After a busy afternoon, I led Dalai all the way to the mansion and discussed the details of threading.It is successful, the effect of the machine is not to be said, three people can easily operate it, compared with the speed of the six-person leader machine, it can liberate three laborers at once, and invisibly doubled the efficiency.However, it is too difficult to make the sleeve mouth. It takes nearly ten times of failures in a row to get a qualified finished product. If this continues, the cost of the machine is too high, and it is difficult to widely implement even the best ideas. We have to work together to find a way to increase the success rate.

As he was talking, when passing by the Nanjinchang semicolon, he saw several people arguing on the bluestone steps. The four boys in Nanjinchang surrounded two people who looked like farmers and coaxed them down the stage. It was a farmer in Zhuangzi, and he was arguing loudly with the guys, probably because they were not allowed to set up a stall at the gate of Nanjinchang.

Unlicensed vendor?Chao Dalai smiled, since Nan Jinchang settled in Wangjiazhuangzi, many farmers from other villages came to purchase every day. After all, the spare money of the farmers is limited, so it is inevitable to bring some produce from the field to Yishi. The small business distribution center in Nanjinchang is the same as the market, with a small meeting every four days and a big meeting every seven days. Every time there is a meeting, people come to occupy a small place before dawn. It is very lively from morning to noon.

But the peasant family also has the demeanor of a peasant family. Going to the market is early and not late, and they leave after noon. I have never seen any behavior blocking people's doorsteps to buy goods. It's dinner time, and there are such unobtrusive people If you come here to play tricks, you have to watch the excitement.

There are two large bamboo baskets leaning on the red pillars at the gate of Nanjinchang.Probe to look, full of water chestnuts, smiled.No wonder there are no rules. At first glance, they are tenant farmers who came from Cheng Chuxin’s garden. In order to catch up with the work, many of the laborers recruited by Cheng Chu were not locals.

Wave to a few guys.After all, it’s a big deal, don’t worry about it with the farmers, seeing that it’s dark and the two baskets are still full and unsold, I must be anxious, thinking that the higher the stall, the better.Squatting down, he rummaged through the bamboo basket and asked the two farmers, "How much is a catty of water chestnuts?"

"Liu Wen," the Cheng family's tenants didn't feel like arguing with the guys when they saw someone asking about the price.Qin Qin ran over and vigorously turned over the water chestnuts in the basket, "The fresh fruit was dug early in the morning, and the layer of mud underneath is not yet dry! It is a rare fruit, and you people in the capital have never seen it before."

In this way of selling, even the mud and fruit are fresh.Let others frown, dare to ask for Liuwen, Liuwen is said to be more than a catty fat.The farmers in Wangjiazhuangzi are all high-sighted now, and I'm afraid they won't be able to sell a penny.

"This is poor and crazy. Don't worry about it, Lord Marquis." The young man is kind-hearted. He is afraid that the farmer in the other village will make me angry with a basket of muddy eggs. Identity, don't cause irrelevant disasters.

"Who says poverty is crazy?" The farmer didn't know what to do, blushed and glared at the guy with a thick neck. Seeing the contemptuous eyes of a circle of people, he got angry for a while, grabbed one without even picking up the mud and bit it in half.He pinched his heart and gestured towards me.The other one was much more awake, picked a little muddy one, wiped his sleeves and handed it to his hands, "Look, it's really a good thing, it's not nonsense, there hasn't been such a sweet fruit in a year, Liu Wenmai It's just a strange thing. It's a pity that it's not very popular on the outside. No one bothers for a day."

"Weighing," he ignored the two of them.Pointing to the two baskets, he nodded, "I want all the six papers, so go home as soon as it gets dark."

"The market is open!" The two farmers were overjoyed when they heard my words, and they stopped weighing them. They casually weighed them a few times, "The two baskets weigh more than 80 catties, counting your fifty catties. All forgiven!"

"How do you say that?" Nan Jinchang's young man heard the vulgarity of the two people's words, and dared to beat Lord Hou to death with this tone.

I got up and smiled and waved my hands. I took out two small silver pancakes and handed them to the clerk. The ignorant people in the two foreign villages glared at each other, and they seemed to want to wait for me to leave to clean up people.He waved to the people around him, "Come here, take a few, the Wang family planned to bring everyone to grow this thing. The land is suitable for eating, and if you are willing to grow it, talk to Steward Qian, wash it, peel it and eat it."

The two farmers of the Cheng family left happily, and the people in the Wang family village also opened a new dish. Those who have tasted it know the taste, and those who have not tasted it know that this thing can sell for six cents a catty with mud, and it is still the afternoon stock. If it's clean and ready to sell, it doesn't look like it's going to be worth ten money. This is much more powerful than lotus vegetables. I feel that opening up wasteland is a lot of fun, and there is no need to mobilize it.

Yingle broke down, and stood by the lotus pond in Yunjiadi all day, boasting that the lotus blooms beautifully, and the lotus leaves grow luxuriantly, "It's a pity, this wasteland is limited, what should be planted is full of lotus vegetables, and what should be packaged is all inclusive." After leaving the Wang family, the Yun family has no place to plant water chestnuts even if they took them, so could it be that girl Yun planted them in her family's latrine?"

"You can do it. I haven't seen the little girl and she hides away when she sees you." She pulled Ying, and took a walk on the Tiankan, trying not to meet face to face with Yun girl.

Ying Huan was overjoyed, and the silk scarf was shaking with joy. "If you don't want money, just vent your anger. The girl is not yet old enough to play tricks!"

"I don't think he's pitiful, so think about changing it." Chaoying patted his back, "It's a deal with the Yun family. In the future, if you fight with fellow villagers, the price will drop."

Ying Shu nodded heartily, sat down on the grassy slope, and said with a smile: "It's fine to raise fish and shrimps, but I've always left a way for the Yun family to survive, otherwise this village would have lost her foothold long ago. In the past, There is still a boundary between the two families, and now in the entire Wang family’s land, we are the host and she is the guest, we must let her know that there is a difference between the host and the guest, so don’t play tricks on the host’s house and teach her to be good.”

"It's all paid off," I shook my head, lay down on the grass, and listened to the chant of opening up wasteland in the distance, full of energy.Although the initial stage of the new crop is profitable, the good times are short-lived, and more and more people follow suit.Just like lotus vegetables, which were delicate and expensive two years ago, now only have meager profits left, the prospect of water chestnuts is probably not much better than that of lotus vegetables.

The Cheng family will have a thousand acres next year, and the Wang family will have a few hundred acres. Even if they monopolize Chang'an, it seems that the reprocessing of agricultural and sideline products is the way out. We can't be restricted by the production of a few acres of Susukida. One more link will be one more. layer profit.

Gotta have an initial proposal.Not for the sake of the Wang family, but purely from the heart, the peasants working far away in the fields, starting from Guanzhong, gradually expanded benignly, benefiting not only a few people, a few interest groups, but the entire Tang Empire.After all, I am also a citizen of the Tang Empire.The country has never treated the Wang family badly. Although I often take advantage of the national government, I still hope from the bottom of my heart that the motherland will prosper and prosper for a long time.

There was a change, and I couldn't help laughing at myself.I have gradually become noble, with an incredible chemical effect, the people who grew up under the red flag have returned to the backward age, but feel a kind of noble sentiment in their hearts, whether it is morality or worldview, gradually become clearer.Every detail is deducted in an orderly manner.

It seems simple is not necessarily wrong. Everyone hopes to get a satisfactory return for their efforts. The stronger and more prosperous the country, the higher the return, the more satisfied the life, the sense of belonging to the country and the trust in the government. The stronger you are, the pride from the inside out makes everything in front of you brighter.

It's a virtuous cycle.You don’t need to live in a cynical way of inferiority, you have long forgotten the feeling of boycotting Japanese goods indignantly with Japanese goods in your hand, and you don’t need to suffocate how many people were killed on sea ships because of the news broadcast for smuggling to a certain developed country As for who bombed the embassy of the Tang Empire, there is no need for the people to go to the parade. His Majesty Li Zhi, who has been labeled cowardly and incompetent in history, will politely cross off the country that caused the accident from the map. Annihilated in history, even the country and its people will cease to exist.

The living environment is very relaxed, and now I realize the benefits that a leader who is lenient inside and stricter outside brings to the country.I used to be very cautious in speaking.I'm afraid that my house will be ransacked like in the TV series, this is all an illusion.In this day and age, you can vent your dissatisfaction with the government on Suzaku Street.As long as what you say is reasonable, the local government will politely record your remarks in detail. Even if you don't get improvement, you will feel comfortable.The role of the relaxed public opinion environment in supervising government officials cannot be ignored.

"Build a road?" Thinking about it, I feel that it is necessary to make some contributions to the country. When I have a whim, I will inevitably be a little impulsive, pointing to the potholed path connecting the villages in the distance, "Building a spacious road, it is convenient for everyone to walk. "

Ying looked at the direction I pointed in confusion, "It's not the boundary of our Zhuangzi, where should we build it?"

"Just over there, our Zhuangzi can't take care of himself even on the way out, he wants to benefit all people." It's so great, the tone of these words is different, I can't believe this is my own consciousness, I regret not having a tape recorder to record it .

"Oh," Ying stretched out her hand to touch my forehead, "I don't have a fever, how can I talk nonsense?"

"Look, once in a while I'm enthusiastic and don't cooperate, which makes my passion lessened," Tan Tan handed over, squinting dissatisfiedly, "Selfish."

Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "Cultivate, I didn't tell you not to ask you to repair it. Did you ask the officials? You can do whatever you like in your own village, but if you want to repair it, you have to get approval from the government. Don't say anything." Come out three times, the imperial court has no reason to put the road in private hands, it's a big crime."

"Forget it." It's too strict. I originally wanted to plan a small engineering team to contract the court to do the project, so it seems hopeless.He got up and patted him, and led his wife back home.

Recently, I have water chestnuts, and the consumption of fungus at home is a bit too much. Sliced ​​water chestnuts and fungus meat has become a famous dish in the Wang family’s menu. When I entered the door, I saw the housekeeper and the accountant drinking on the stone table in the small garden behind the screen wall. can smell it.I've been busy recently, and it's rare for the elder brothers to have a drink in the evening. Ying smiled and pulled me around the south corridor towards the back house, so as not to disturb the interest of the two elder brothers.

"It's not easy to say," Ying stretched out her hand to pick a Wangchun flower that stretched into the corridor, "it's a seasonal thing, and it's hard to get a sweet taste in ordinary people's homes. It would be great if the water chestnuts could be harvested all year round." .Sell in different seasons, no need to squeeze into a pile, and the price is good in all seasons.”

This is learning. With the current conditions, I can't reach this level, but Ying's way of thinking is already very advanced. "Is there any way?"

"Where's the wine?" Just as someone moved the jug of wine from the side corridor, Ying pointed over there, "Is it possible to pack the wine jar and seal it tightly. Dirty things can't get in."

Wine storage is very particular, especially the process of good wine storage is very cumbersome. A layer of thick yellow paper wraps the mouth of the jar, and the wax that has been turned into water is poured on it to form a thin wax film to wrap the mouth of the jar. Then use the yellow mud with straw tendons to paste it, and now there is lime, so put a thick layer of cooked lime sauce on it.

I don't know if it is useful to seal up the water chestnuts. It would be good to get a few jars of water chestnuts.Anyway, there are many places in the Cheng family, so you can try it.

A large cart was pulled up, cleaned and peeled, sprinkled with a little salt in clean water, soaked for a day to produce powder, specially selected big belly jars with glaze hung, boiled in a large pot to disinfect several jars, sprinkled a little white wine Wipe the mouth of the jar, and then scoop the white water chestnuts into the boiling water and place them in the jar.Immediately afterwards, boiled water at a suitable temperature was poured in, handled according to the technique of sealing wine, and moved to the cellar for hiding.

I remember that the storage period of canned food in later generations is generally twelve months, but there is no preservative these days, and it can be considered a success if it lasts for half a year.Don't dare to ask for half a year. According to the fourth child, if it is not bad in three months, although it is not as valuable as fresh vegetables in winter.If you give it to a big restaurant, it will be five times the price of fresh fruit. Even if the water chestnuts are worthless in the future, the ones in the jar can be sold for a good price.

This is a method. If it works, the fruit can be made step by step. Well, canned food, we are high-end products, and all the ones that others have never seen are high-end products.It belongs to the deep processing of agricultural by-products.

The process must be recorded in detail, divided into time periods, and each time a jar is opened to check whether the quality of the cans has changed. It is a designated scientific research project of the Wang family.I'd better take advantage of my free time and quickly solve the problem of the silk pattern on the sleeve of the new textile machine.

The drawings laid out a case, and even the idea of ​​using pure metal castings for the collar came out, since coal pyrometallurgy has been used.I don't know if it's possible...but my family doesn't have that condition.

"Why don't you give this drawing to Princess Lanling?" The second daughter saw my house and workshop running.After asking the reason, I was very interested in a series of my inventions and creations. The toilet water was jointly developed with the two daughters back then.The little girl who used to dangle with a big bottle has a sense of accomplishment.

"This won't work, keep it secret."

"I don't give her anything else, just give her the map of the thread socket. Our family has no conditions, but she must have a way." The second girl rolled her eyes and took out an independent blueprint to read for a while. , "If it can be changed to iron, it's not only because our loom can be put to good use, it's a merit, and second, it solves our own problems without spending a penny, what do you think?"

It is feasible. I have seen the iron socket on the bed crossbow frame. The crossbow and the frame are connected together. If something goes wrong, the whole frame will be scrapped. If it is changed to a screw port, just remove the kit and replace the bolt to solve the problem. Not only military weapons, but also the service life of civilian equipment has been greatly enhanced. It is a great achievement, and if it succeeds, it can take a big step towards standardized operations.

He took a few shaped wooden pegs and headed towards Lanling's house. He didn't say much when he entered the door. He twisted the sockets and passed them on his arm, "Does it look solid?"

Lan Ling took it and shook his hands vigorously a few times, then nodded, "What do you mean?"

"How about replacing it with an iron one?" As I spoke, I spread out the blueprints, and I carefully drew various bolts, nuts, twist arms, and sockets to explain their uses one by one. "For example, if this one is broken, it would have to be scrapped as before, maybe the whole device would have to be scrapped too, right?" He said, easily removed the sleeve arm from the sleeve and threw it aside, and took it again. Put it on a new one, "Look, now you don't need it, just replace the broken one, how easy is it, and how durable it is?"

Lan Ling immediately understood the essentials, and gave me a thumbs up in admiration, "It's amazing, my husband is indeed the most talented person in Chang'an, this thing alone can minimize the wear and tear of equipment, I really don't know what you think How long."

"It's not me, it's the three students of Zhang's family." This credit must not go to me, no matter how much the Wang family helped the Zhang family, there is no reason to attach the ideas of my cousins ​​to myself.

"The three from Weaving Core?"

"Well, on the one hand, learning how to improve the loom is all related to machinery. It is really not easy to think of this."

"But you drew the picture, right?" Lan Ling looked at the drawing carefully, and said with a smile: "You are the only one who draws such a picture, and you can't hide it from me. It is your duty as a nephew to help the Zhang family , no one is gossiping; there is no need to push hard credit to the Zhang family."

It’s true that I drew the picture, but the original picture can’t be shown to Lan Ling. She scratched her head in embarrassment, and said with a sincere expression: “Really, it’s the method that the three of his brothers studied for a long time. You have to Believe me, I am an honest man and I will not lie."

"I don't believe it!" Lan Ling chuckled a few times, "If you don't lie, no dog will eat shit. Just report your name and let them test it according to the blueprint. Don't pretend to be fake anymore, and don't keep lying to me in the future." Gently rolled up the drawing and wrapped it in a silk scarf.

This is a bit too much, so I quickly stopped it, and said anxiously: "Don't dare to report my name, it's someone else's way, I swear to God!"

Lan Ling rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "Forget it. Since it is the credit of the three brothers of the Zhang family, why haven't I heard anything about such a big matter? The blueprints don't go to the gentlemen of the weaving department. What is it that you just took it out of your hands?" Explanation? I will listen to your explanation, don't pretend to eat snacks!"
