The first batch of pilot matches was made of good sandpaper, folded in half, five red match heads were sandwiched inside, and one side with sand grains was on the outside, which looked light and fluttering, a small piece, very inconspicuous.

Compared with the matches of later generations, the ingredients are also different, because there is no artificial magnet, the power of the DC generator is not large, and potassium chlorate, a strong oxidant that needs to be prepared by electrolysis, Yang Bo can not do it, and can only control the flammability of matches by adjusting the content of red phosphorus.

This kind of match was still widely used around the world at the beginning of the twentieth century, and it is the kind of match that can be rubbed with the sole of a shoe, and it is not actually dangerous if it is not close to a heat source.

"This is a match?" The group walked from the factory to the outside of the factory, Xu Wenjue took the match and looked over and over, but he couldn't see any magic.

Yang Bo took a match, demonstrated and drew one, the flame was lit, Xu Wenjue's eyes widened, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't wait to try to row, and he drew two pieces of ten in one go, and he didn't enjoy it yet.

Yang Bo smiled: "Wenjue, you just crossed out a tael of silver. ”

"So expensive?" Xu Wenjue exclaimed, and the movements in his hands also stopped.

"You have seen it, now there are only five or six people in the factory, the output is limited, and in the future, the output will be increased by hundreds or thousands of times, and the cost will naturally be reduced, and ordinary people can afford it."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and expand the scale." Xu Wenjue was anxious for Yang Bo.

"This is not in a hurry, in the future, all the output of the stone temple will be done in accordance with certain rules, first small test, then pilot test, and finally large-scale production, not in a hurry."

Yang Bo needs to leave a reliable impression on Xu Wenjue.

Xu Wenjue and Qin Shao nodded yes.

"Wenjue, are you leaving tomorrow?" Yang Bo asked.

Xu Wenjue sighed: "I really want to stay a few more days, at least wait for my glass beads to win the victory of that kid before leaving, but this time I enter Beijing to face the saint, I have to hurry back to Nanjing to report to my father, but I will come again soon." ”

Yang Bo said to Xu Wenjue: "The matches are the first batch this time, and the quantity is limited, so I will only give you two hundred pieces." His eyes moved to Qin Shao, and he said: "Brother Qin, you also have a share, I will let people separate the package and send it to your residence in Deyue Tower, you pay attention." ”

Qin Shao immediately arched his hand and said, "Young Master Xie." ”

Xu Wenjue looked overjoyed, this is a new thing, you can show it when you go back.

Of course, he still remembered that if he could bring 200,000 taels of silver, Yang Bo would give him a cement share, worth 50,000 taels, and he now believed in Yang Bo, cement has a wide use, building bridges, building houses, Yang Bo said that cement can be used to build roads in the future.

Jinling is the hometown of wealth and wealth, there are many wealthy families with millions of dollars, and the silver is moldy at home.

Tomorrow, Qin Shao will arrange a boat to send Xu Wenjue back to Nanjing by sea, Yang Bo is also going to Meizhen, so he will not go to the dock to send it, Yang Bo accompanied Xu Wenjue and the two out of the stone temple, and sent it a long way forward, almost to Shaliu, and the three of them gave up their hands.

The sun hung obliquely in the west, the sky was very blue, the wind was very cool, Yang Bo walked along the Erdaogou, walking on the road back to the stone temple, behind him was a long shadow.

Close to the location of the stone temple, on a vacant land in the south of Erdaogou, a lot of grass huts have been built, in which live homeless people, young and strong men and women have gone to open mountains and build roads, and those who stay are some old and weak and children.

Yang Bo picked a few families with people, went in to see, the grass hut was too simple, leaking on all sides, some people only had a tattered straw mat at home, and the people were also in tattered clothes, the situation was miserable, this winter came early, it was difficult for them to survive.

Taking in these fleeing refugees, Yang Bo paid for work, and those who could work had food, regardless of men, women, and children, but they were not paid, and they had no money to buy the most basic belongings.

Yang Bo returned to the backyard and saw that Wu Yuer was feeding the black dots, which was done by Yang Bo, Yiming, and Leshui when they were free.

Sister-in-law Wu's mother and daughter only came to the stone temple yesterday, the stone temple is now more staffed, and it also needs to be managed, so Yang Bo let Sister-in-law Wu be responsible for housekeeping, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc., all kinds of miscellaneous things, just manage people, and don't have to work in person, count it as a housekeeper.

Wu Yuer is literate and hyphenated, responsible for sorting out Yang Bo's office, keeping accounts, copying the charter or something, counting the secretary, it used to be difficult for Leshui to do, after all, Leshui is too young, and always needs Yang Bo's guidance, many times, it is not as fast as Yang Bo himself.

There are not many people who can read and write in the stone temple, and Yang Bo's master craftsmen are all illiterate in big characters, and Yang Bo also has a headache.

Yang Bo treats Leshui as his own sister, Wu Yuer came, naturally happy that Leshui can concentrate on learning words and learning arithmetic, just in the homeless shantytown, Yang Bo saw many children, who should be reading and literacy, but did not have the opportunity to enter the school.

Yang Bo thought that the stone temple should build a school, and it was about to enter winter, so he could only wait until the spring of next year, Yang Bo thought so in his heart.

Wu Yu'er concentrated on feeding, Yang Bo approached, and he didn't notice it, until the black spot noticed it and pounced on Yang Bo, he was surprised, just a glance, quickly lowered his head, and saluted: "Childe." The voice was so subtle that Yang Bo could barely hear it.

Wu Yu'er has a small face, a very white complexion, a cherry nose and a cherry mouth, drooping eyelids, long eyelashes, and a sad face.

Yang Bo sighed secretly, since ancient times, he hoped that their mother and daughter would be well in the future, but he just instructed: "Yu'er, you go to Uncle Xia Ji and let him come for a trip, I have something to look for him." With that, he turned back to his office and changed his plan.

After all, Sister-in-law Wu has done things in Shenjiabao, she can manage people, do things neatly, and she also has a good price, and on the day she came, she washed Yang Bo's clothes and cleaned up the house with her own hands, except for cooking, she didn't let anyone interfere.

At this moment, Sister-in-law Wu was about to send the dried clothes to Yang Bo's room, but unexpectedly met Sister-in-law Liu, who also came to deliver clothes to Yang Bo.

Sister-in-law Liu was holding a bag in her hand, containing a leather robe, which was sent by Shen Yanqing to Sister-in-law Liu, and also instructed Yang Bo to bring it when he went to Meizhen tomorrow.

The two of them have worked together in the house and on the boat in the past, and they know the roots, and when they meet, they naturally inevitably gossip together.

Sister-in-law Liu unwrapped the burden, took out the leather robe inside, turned the skin out, touched it with her hand, and said enviously: "Sister-in-law Wu, look at this skin, it is new this year, the hair is shiny, and it is worth a lot of silver." ”

"It's really good." Sister-in-law Wu stretched out her hand and touched it, and she also praised it.

"It was given to Yang Gongzi by the eldest lady, Miss really treats Yang Gongzi as an aunt, I see, Miss and Yang Gongzi sooner or later..."

"People are talented and beautiful, and it is a matter of time before they get married, but I pity my Yu'er..."Sister-in-law Wu was sad and said sadly: "Now it is rumored on the street, Yang Gongzi was saved that day, but my Yu'er is also in his arms, what will my Yu'er do in the future...."

"Is it all on the streets? Why haven't I heard? Sister-in-law Liu looked at Sister-in-law Wu and was a little angry.

"You are working in the Shen family, and Young Master Yang and the eldest lady are... In that case, what can people say to you? After all, my family's mouth is committed in the Shen Mansion, do you say yes or no? ”

"That's right." Sister-in-law Liu comforted: "Yu'er can write and calculate, and she will definitely be able to find a good family in the future, you can also persuade her, let the past pass, don't dare to think about it anymore." ”

"Good guys?" Sister-in-law Wu's face showed a sad and indignant color, "I don't know that the rotten tongue is everywhere, saying that my Yu'er went to the stone temple to be a concubine for my son..."

"Is there such a thing?" Sister-in-law Liu exclaimed, but her eyes lit up, and she looked very excited, "These damn sluts, if this word reaches Miss's ears, Miss may have a big temper?" ”

"Sister-in-law Liu, you know that you are tight-mouthed, so we will say this in private, but we can't say it outside." Sister-in-law Wu glanced at Sister-in-law Liu, with an alert look.

While talking, the two came to Yang Bo's residence, Yang Bo was in the office next door, Sister-in-law Liu followed Sister-in-law Wu into the door, Yang Bo was not in the house, and was drawing in the office room next door.

"Childe is not here, I'll put this leather robe here first, and you can talk to Childe when you go back, I have to go back, it's going to be dark later, okay, I'm leaving." Sister-in-law Liu said very simply this time, and she walked very neatly.

Sister-in-law Wu looked at the figure of Sister-in-law Liu leaving in a hurry, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the next room, Ji Shun hurried from the construction site.

Yang Bo made Ji Shun a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Uncle Ji, sit." ”

Ji Shun sat down, glanced at the plan on the bookcase, and said, "Don't ask, no one has come to me yet." ”

Ji Shun refers to the 7,000 acres of land on the south side of the road, didn't Yang Bo say, who fills in whom? But no one has come to fill in yet, and Yang Bo has already asked Ji Shun a few times.

"Uncle Ji, no one came, it means that they are short-sighted, you can come first." Yang Bo blinked and smiled.

Ji Shunhuan's eyes widened, and he soon understood that Yang Bo wanted him to be a childcare, and he was not polite, and said: "Then you have to give the silver for inviting someone to pull the sand stone." ”

Yang Bo nodded with a smile and said, "Let's fill in two hundred acres first, it won't take much silver, I'll give it." ”

"Cut.." Ji Shun looked disgusted, and asked again: "You have something to do with me?" ”

Yang Bo nodded and said, "Yes." Then he told him what he had seen in the shantytown today, "I see that each family will give two taels of silver first." ”

Ji Shun sat up straight and said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"After thinking about it, there are only two or three hundred horizontal and vertical families, not six hundred taels of silver, and now the alcohol alone can support the expenses of the homeless, and I have a lot of money."

"It's not a matter of silver, if you give people silver, the homeless people will come more, and the stone temple can accept it? Gotta have to have a head, right? "Ji Shun is worried about more and more displaced people, the world is so big, can you still collect all the displaced people?

"Isn't this the end of the story, you just have to take it." Yang Bo said lightly, thought about it, and said: "It's okay if you don't give out silver, some people may not be willing to spend, you can directly buy some winter clothes, bedding, cotton cloth... Oh, why am I telling you this, Uncle Ji, you are more experienced in this kind of thing, so you can watch and do it. ”
