Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 328
After the beginning of winter, the weather became colder day by day, and the whistling north wind blew, making the body cool to the bone.

Luo Tian was sitting in the mule cart, because he got up early, he was still a little sleepy, and was dozing off bit by bit.After returning from Shangyuan Temple, Emperor Tianqi asked her to go to the Ministry of Industry and old man Wu to toss about the blueprint of the tank boat. Since then, her good life has come to an end, and she wakes up earlier than Luo Baisu every day. Lei kept punching and punching twice, waiting for Luo Baisu to finish her breakfast and send her to the Ministry of Works to order her hair, and then Luo Baisu returned to Sinong Temple. In the evening, when Luo Baisu came to the Ministry of Works to pick her up, it turned out that It is harder than a serious court official, especially this hard work is mostly for nothing, and you can't get a penny of wages. Not only that, if the tank boat is not built well in the end, you will have to be criticized.

well!Working for the emperor, especially for free, is so bad. If you do well, no one will praise you. If you don’t do well, there will be a bunch of people waiting to jump out and spray you to death.

When I arrived at the entrance of the engineering department, I saw a skinny figure already guarding the gate.

"Oh, my lady came early today. Have you had breakfast yet? If you haven't, I'll take you to eat. The bun shop on the corner of the street tastes like a lot of stuffing and thin skin..." Old man Wu saw her, followed by Like her own granddaughter, she greeted her with a smile.

Luo Tiandu jumped off the mule cart, with black lines on his face, and said, "Old Man Wu, I've already eaten." Since Old Man Wu took her to the bun shop last time, he saw the proprietress of the bun shop burning firewood for a long time. After scratching her head full of greasy and black hair, she actually went to get the soft, white and tender buns without washing her hands, no matter how hungry she was, she refused to go to that shop to eat buns again.

"Xiaodu, I'll come to pick you up again at night. If you need anything, you can send someone to call me. Don't run around by yourself." Luo Baisu sent her to the hands of acquaintances, and as usual, he still felt worried. Tell me once.

"Understood, Dad, you should go to the government office quickly, or it will be too late." Luo Tiandu nodded in response.

Old man Wu also responded from the side: "Master Luo, don't worry, with me here, the little lady will not be lost in the Ministry of Industry."

Luo Baisu said to Cheng Qing who was driving over in a mule cart, "Thank you for your hard work, please take care of Xiaodu."

Cheng Qing said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely protect the little lady well."

Luo Baisu felt that all the instructions that should be given have been given, so he went to Sinong Temple with peace of mind.

"Hey, your father treats you like a baby. I'm afraid you'll get lost by yourself in his absence." Old Man Wu laughed at her.

Luo Tiandu smiled and said, "My father is concerned about it, so he's in trouble." She didn't dislike Luo Baisu's long-winded words.

Old Man Wu laughed and led Luo Tiandu inside.

"Brother Cheng Qing, it's windy and cold outside, you go back first, just come and pick me up later." Luo Tian saw Cheng Qing standing motionless beside the mule cart, and said again.

Cheng Qing shook his head and said: "Little lady, it's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold, so I'll wait for you outside."

Old man Wu waved impatiently: "You go back, those two children in your family are just naughty, and your wife may not be able to take care of them by herself. Later, the little old man will personally send the little lady back."

Cheng Qing said: "It's okay, little lady, Master Wu, you go in and do your work."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Old Man Wu said, "Then you drive the mule cart into the yard and sit in the porter's room. I'll ask them to bring some charcoal. It's so cold outside, I guess it's snowing."

Cheng Qing thought about it, and then he agreed, drove the mule cart in through the small door on one side, and went to nest in the gatehouse.

Not long after, a few more officials from the Ministry of Industry arrived at the Ministry of Industry along with two veteran officials from the Qin Tianjian.

In this era, there are no modern nautical instruments and communication equipment, and even nautical charts are not perfect, let alone satellite navigation radar plotting. It is entirely based on the experience of sailors and sailors. Most of the time, they basically rely on the compass and the crew. The sun, moon and stars came to roughly judge the location, and Emperor Tianqi even sent out Qin Tianjian, who was proficient in astronomy and calendar, which shows that he attached great importance to the manufacture of water tanks.

Among the people in this room, she is actually the least talented and knowledgeable. Except for her, everyone else is proficient in economics, history, politics, mathematics, engineering, and even riding and archery, especially the two old men of Qin Tianjian. She is proficient in everything from astronomy, calendar, geography, to five elements, gossip, feng shui. Don't take her seriously.

Although she has no knowledge of shipbuilding, she can accurately calculate the effects of various forces through the relationship between mathematics and mechanics, and help old man Wu draw gravity curves and buoyancy curves. Based on these data, old man Wu can better correct the length of the ship and analyze the various sections.Old man Wu has experience, and she has a foundation in mathematics and engineering mechanics. The two joined forces. She is responsible for calculating the data, and old man Wu is responsible for applying the pile of data to the actual process of shipbuilding. It really solved many problems. Now Master Yu He didn't pick her nose and eyes at her like he did at first, as if he acquiesced to her existence to a certain extent.

This is also the cuteness of these old men in the Ministry of Industry. They are arrogant and even very pedantic, but their enthusiasm for learning is unmatched by anyone. As long as you have a skill, you can make them admire you from the bottom of your heart. They don't care if you are male or female, old or young, they have to pull you to argue endlessly every day, making Luo Tian's head dizzy.

Emperor Tianqi attached great importance to the matter of the tank boat, and from time to time he called her and old man Wu into the palace to inquire about the progress. It was more useful, and made Luo Tian feel very embarrassed.

She knew that she was just taking advantage of the fact that she was good at arithmetic, and she was just standing on the shoulders of her predecessors, having thousands of years more cultural accumulation than them. The ancients who were able to reach the current high level by groping are truly respectable, intelligent and useful people.

Emperor Apocalypse has not summoned her and Old Man Wu for several days, probably because he was delayed by the frontline battle, and now all the people in the court are worried about the army that is fighting Beirong at Tianshui Pass. When my lord returns from court, he will inevitably chatter a few more words. Of course, most of the time he complains that the court officials are not doing business. They only know how to talk about trivial matters all day long, and occasionally talk about the Northwest War.

Every time at this time, Luo Tian listened very carefully. Luo Baisu was not allowed to go to court, and she would never have access to this kind of first-hand news about the war. To a certain extent, she went to the Ministry of Industry to hang out with old man Wu. It was convenient for her.

It was a long time in the early morning today, and Master Yu just returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry at Weishi, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Luo Tian had already had lunch, took a lunch break for half an hour, and was about to go to work, when he heard him sigh, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Master Yu, why are you sighing?"

Master Yu got up early, and he was afraid of some indecent behavior such as farting and hiccupping when he went to court, so he didn't eat breakfast. At this moment, his stomach was growling with hunger, so he picked up Luo Tiandu on the table early. I picked up the baked biscuits that came and ate them cleanly. I only felt better after drinking a cup of tea with the sweetness in my mouth.

The mouth of eating people is soft, but the hands of grabbing people are short. Their Ministry of Industry wanted to borrow Luo Tiandu's knowledge, and he ate Luo Tiandu's cakes himself. When I went to court, someone reported that snow had already started to fall on the northwest side. I was worried that the soldiers at Tianshuiguan would suffer again. If I could build this tank earlier, I could send more supplies there. , let them suffer less."

Although this old man looked down on Luo Tian in every possible way at the beginning, and his speech was not pleasant, but compared to other civil servants who were full of tricks and tricks, he was much more lovely. At least he was really worried about the frontier. The safety of soldiers.

"Didn't all the cotton harvested this year be made into cotton-padded clothes and quilts and sent to Tianshuiguan?" In contrast, Luo Tiandu was much less worried about this aspect.

As early as when Wei Que set off for the northwest, she made all the preparations. She prepared some cotton clothes, cotton quilts and boots for Wei Que. Later, when Beijing sent food and grass to the north to keep out the cold, she asked someone to He sent Wei Que a few sets of down jackets to Tianshuiguan, even if he damaged two sets, there should still be a change.

Master Yu sighed, and said: "That's a war. I heard from the Ministry of War that there are about one hundred thousand elite soldiers stationed at Tianshuiguan. The cotton clothes sent back last time are not enough. The batch that was rushed to make later, now On the way, the mountains in the northwest are blocked by heavy snow, the road is impassable, and I don’t know how long it will take to deliver.”

Luo Tian couldn't help thinking of Wei Que who was far away at the border, and remained silent.

That's right, this is a war, no matter how well prepared she is for Wei Que, it's a place where people die all the time, who can guarantee that they will be safe?
Seeing that Luo Tian's face darkened, old man Wu couldn't help but glared at Master Yu, and said, "Master Wei is highly skilled in martial arts, and auspicious people have their own aura, so nothing will happen. Don't worry, little lady."

He had lived with Luo Tiandu in Yi County for a few years, and had long regarded her as his own granddaughter. He was used to calling her Little Lady, and then changed her name to Mrs. Wei. He always felt that she was not as kind as Little Lady. Never bothered to correct him.

Master Yu sighed a long time, and said, "I'm afraid that some people will be too bold and stretch their hands too far."

Luo Tian felt his heart move when he heard it, and wanted to ask something more, but he heard the waiter on the right cough and reminded: "Wake up, be careful with your words."

Master Yu consciously made a slip of the tongue, coughed, turned his face and said, "Little lady, how is the mathematical modeling you talked about with Master Wu? Is there any progress?"

Luo Tiandu had no choice but to hold back his full of doubts, and explained the results of the labor of Tian and Old Man Wu to Shilang Yu one by one.

The Ministry of Industry is full of busy people. After Shi Lang Yu asked about the progress, he went to busy himself with other things. Old man Wu had a strange temper and refused to work with others in the same room. Once Shi Lang Yu left, the others went back to work on themselves Yes, there are only Luo Tiandu and old man Wu in this room.

Luo Tiandu poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to Old Man Wu, pretending to be casual and asked: "What does Master Yu mean by stretching his hands too far?"

Old man Wu snorted with great disdain and said: "What good things can there be, those villains with a dark heart can't do anything for money."

Luo Tian's heart trembled when he heard that, and he said, "Could it be that some people dare to make decisions about the strategic materials going to the northwest?"
