75. The so-called crisis
CHAPTER XXXV
When the sun was up, Tang Xiaoshi summoned Tang Qiu'er over, gave her the manuscript paper of the farm tools, and instructed her to send them to the iron household in Beizhuang, so that they could put down all the work in their hands and focus on building these farm tools, the more the better.
If there is less ore, he will go to Hua Wu, he knows many merchants in the Western Regions, and it is not a problem to transport some iron ore into Chang'an City.
Tang Qiu'er left, Tang Xiaoshi called Tang Xia'er over again, handed her the design draft of the water-wheeled car for carrying water, and asked her to gather the carpenters in the village and make sure to build the water-wheeled car within three days.
Tang Xia'er was very curious when she saw the strange big water wheel painted on the paper, and asked, "Sir, this thing looks like a big cart wheel, can it really make water flow to a high place?" ”
"That's nature." Tang Xiaoshi carefully replied, "The water wheel frame is on the West River, and the turbulent water flow drives the water wheel to rotate, and the bucket of water on the water wheel can be sent to a high place, and the water can be introduced into the dug pool, which can be used for irrigation." Although the water brought by the water wheel truck each time is not much, it adds up to a lot, and over time, it can also save a lot of river water, do you understand? ”
Tang Xia'er scratched her head, grinned, and said embarrassedly: "Xia'er is stupid, I only understand that this water wheel can turn and turn, but Mr. said that it can be done!" I'm going to gather all the carpenters from the village, and in three days, no, in two days, I'll promise that I'll be able to complete the task. ”
After Tang Xia'er left, Tang Xiaoshi only had the "drip irrigation" design paper left in his hand, and it was not difficult to build this system, but it would require more manpower and wood.
Tang Xiaoshi, who had arranged a qiē, came to the front hall, Fang Fang poured himself a cup of strong tea, and wanted to take a sip of tea to wake up, but saw Han Siniang walking in from outside in a hurry, frowning.
Tang Xiaoshi had never seen Han Siniang frown like this, in her impression, Han Siniang did things properly, if it wasn't a big deal, she would never frown like this.
"Sir." Han Shiniang said, "There have been a lot of stalls in Beizhuang these days. ”
Booth? Beizhuang was originally a poor Zhuangzi, who would do business to Beizhuang? And it came out of nowhere. Tang Xiaoshi immediately understood the words in Han Shi Niang's words.
Unexpectedly, she had only been back for so many days, and she was targeted, but it was a little earlier than Tang Xiaoshi's budget.
Tang Xiaoshi asked, "Have you checked it all?" Whose people are they? ”
Han Shi Niang nodded and said, "Uncle Fu sent someone to follow him, and it has been found out, these people are not in a group, they each have their own masters, they are the spies sent by King Qin, King Su and the Zhao family. ”
Tang Xiaoshi asked again: "Is there anyone from the emperor?" "That's the point.
Han Shi Niang shook her head and replied affirmatively: "No, those people who disguised themselves as traders did not go to the direction of the palace after nightfall. ”
After listening to Han Shi Niang's answer, Tang Xiaoshi calmly took a sip of tea. Said: "Since there are no emperors, then there is nothing to worry about, if they want to investigate, just let them stay in the Zhuangzi, and wait for us to bring the exiles under our names in a few days, and then solve these inconspicuous things." ”
If it was the emperor's person, Tang Xiaoshi would still be a little worried, because the emperor explored the academy, indicating that Ge Liuyuan's side was lost, and he must have come with gunpowder. People who hold power in their hands, once they are ruthless, the means will be very spicy, and there are still many children living in the academy, Tang Xiaoshi has to guard against it.
But if there are only people from the Qin Wang Su Wang Zhao family, Tang Xiaoshi has nothing to worry about, compared with the wolf and tiger, why should ants worry about their teeth?
Han Shi Niang was puzzled, obviously the opponents had detected Beizhuang, why could Mr. be so calm, she asked, "Sir, why is this?" ”
Tang Xiaoshi analyzed: "King Qin sent someone to investigate, it is nothing more than because he suffered a big loss at his son's banquet last time, and now he has finally relieved himself, and he wants to bite back, but people like him who have neither courage nor strategy except for his good background, and who only see the interests of the wealthy in front of him, have no military power in his hands, so there is nothing to worry about."
And King Su must still be angry about his three hundred carts of grain, such a rat-eyed person, even King Qin can't compare, and I don't know where he found the clues, looking for food to find my academy, if he dares to move half a point, I will let him throw another three hundred carts of grain.
As for the Zhao family, it is the most troublesome of the three people, I didn't expect that the stepmother Tang Huairen found for me was so capable, presumably the robbery of the Tang family in Yangzhou City had reached her ears, and she naturally suspected me.
But don't worry, this woman won't do it at this time, at most she is here to collect intelligence, just let her search, Eagle Slave estimates that she will be able to go to Chang'an in a few days, and I will surprise her at that time. ”
Tang Xiaoshi smiled confidently.
Han Shiniang still said cautiously: "Mr. is reasonable, but we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, we don't have to do anything to prevent this?" ”
Tang Xiaoshi thought for a moment, felt that what Han Shi Niang said also made sense, and said with a smile: "I remember Ah Kuang told me a few days ago that his father, the richest man in Jiangnan, bought him a mansion in Chang'an City, I think he must not mind inviting his classmates to live at home for a few days, just let Mr. Han Ke bring all the students over, you give him the first volume of "Fundamentals of Arithmetic", it will be regarded as the food money for the students to eat at Ah Kuang's house in the past few days." ”
As long as the child is transferred, Tang Xiaoshi has nothing to worry about.
In the classroom in the academy, Mr. Han Ke on the podium and Ah Kuang, who was carefully counting in the audience, both sneezed loudly, Mr. Han Ke wrapped his clothes and said to the students: "Spring covers autumn frost, and cold clothes must not be taken off too early." ”
……
……
Now in Chang'an City. Although there are still a lot of homeless people, but the imperial court releases grain, and they can drink porridge every day, and with strength, many homeless people began to find a job in the city to do, whether it is to sell their strength or body, but if they can eat together, they will do it.
This quickly filled up the workshops in Chang'an City, but there was still a large group of displaced people who had not found a job.
But today, the Jingwang Mansion posted announcements under the gates of the four cities in Chang'an City, attracting many homeless people to come to watch, and after a while, the streets and alleys began to spread everywhere: "The Jingwang Mansion recruits tenants!" Eat and control! ”
