Chapter 17 The advent of the automobile
Wen Yile said hehehe: "When I get home, what should I do, I want to hear the story and tell it tomorrow." Grandpa Wang, how much do you remember this story? β
The King of Quick Mouths smiled and said, "Brother Wen, the old man basically remembers it. β
Wenyi was a little surprised that his memory was so strong, so he said: "That is the case, then Grandpa Lao Wang will tell Fifth Uncle Qin again tonight, it can be regarded as after-dinner entertainment, and also look at Grandpa Wang's skills." β
The King of Quick Mouths nodded in agreement. I have to say that although the old man Wang is old, his memory is really amazing, and he can remember it all word for word after listening to it once. Literature and art are also happy, in this world where 90% of people are illiterate, people like Old Man Wang can be much easier.
Therefore, Wenyi told Old Man Wang five chapters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" every morning, and Old Man Wang went to the barracks in the afternoon to tell the sergeants, which could not only familiarize himself with the new jokes, but also bring joy to the sergeants.
A few days ago, Li Shimin sent another 1,000 sergeants to protect the paper mill, and when he heard the eldest grandson Wuji say that Li Shimin had presented "A Thousand Golden Fangs", Li Yuan was very happy and ordered Li Shimin to be fully responsible for the promotion of "A Thousand Golden Fangs", but when he learned that Li Shimin was able to produce a large number of cheap papers, the various gate lords strongly opposed this matter, mainly fearing that the appearance of a large amount of paper would break their gate lords' monopoly on knowledge and weaken their gate lords' power to control the government. It is likely that someone will be sent to sabotage. So the eldest grandson Wuji came this time to protect the paper mill and the printing plant.
Wenyi suggested moving the printing factory to Chang'an, and leaving only the paper mill here to facilitate local materials. The eldest grandson Wuji also thought it was feasible, so he began to arrange this matter.
Three days later, Cui County Ling and a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes came to apologize to Shu'er with several carts of gifts. While the eldest grandson Wuji was still there, Literature and Art pulled him out as a faΓ§ade. The man's name is Cui Zhongting, and he is an outsider who knows the eldest grandson Wuji. After the salute in the courtyard, they each took their seats. Cui Zhongting said: "Today is for my family Cui Deyou who offended the eldest lady in ignorance a few days ago, and came to make amends. β
The eldest grandson made a serious speech, condemned Cui County's behavior, and accepted the Cui family's apology. The two sides chatted smoothly, and after a while, Cui Zhongting was ready to get up and say goodbye. Wenyi sent them outside the courtyard, looked around, and pulled Cui Zhongting aside and said: "Uncle Cui, although this matter is a misunderstanding, it also exposes some problems, if it is not handled properly, it will have a great impact on your family's thousand-year-old reputation." β
Cui Zhongting asked, "Brother Wen, how do you say this?" β
Wenyi said: "Uncle Cui, what do you think, why did this matter start? It's because Zhang is full of evil, Hengling Township, but as far as I know, this did not happen when Wang Xianling was still there, and it was not until Cui Xianling took office that such a situation occurred, after this matter was spread, what would outsiders think? will think that it is your wealthy clan who is bullying people and causing trouble to the township, and giving out all the wine bags and rice bags. The kid didn't want to discredit the Cui family, so he asked him to find you, and he didn't want to make a big deal about it. However, Uncle Cui, we are silent about this matter externally, but we must strictly investigate it internally, otherwise there will be more people like Cui County Ling in the future, which will be a humiliation to your Cui family! β
Cui Zhongting thought for a while and said, "I don't know what Little Brother Wen suggests?" β
Wenyi said: "I think you should take this matter as a model, so that the children of the family outside can take it as a warning, and dare not discredit the family again, what to do, your family must have clan rules, and the kid will not talk about it." But Zhang Yuanwai should be dealt with in accordance with the law, and he should not be spared. β
Cui Zhongting heard that Wenyi just wanted to get rid of Zhang Yuanwai, and wanted to do something to their Cui family, so he smiled and said: "It should be so, thank you for your suggestion." Cui will definitely severely punish this matter and ensure that similar things will not happen again. Leave! β
Wenyi sent Cui Zhongting away with a smile and returned home.
Wenyi talked about stories in the morning, discussed medical skills with Sun Simiao in the afternoon, and walked around with Shu'er from time to time, and lived a good life. In a flash, it was autumn harvest time, and everyone began to be busy with farm work. Literature and art are not idle, and the fifty servants and guards in the family carry a sack on their backs and go down to the ground to pick cotton. Shu'er also happily joined in, making her head full of cotton wool.
Ten acres of cotton picked by several people for several days before all of them were picked clean, under the care of Uncle Bolt's industry, one acre of land actually has the yield of three stones, although in later generations even the minimum standard is not counted, but here is already a high yield. In the Tang Dynasty, one stone was about fifty-three kilograms, and the yield per mu was about three hundred and twenty catties, and the output of ten acres was enough to make a quilt for every household in the village. Wenyi was overjoyed, and found Fang Sanye, and asked him to gather the whole village to learn how to play cotton and make quilts after he was busy farming. There is no land for literature and art, and Shu'er and Qin Wu began to try to play cotton after picking cotton. When the white and soft cotton like white clouds was piled up in the yard, Shu'er threw herself into the cotton pile and tossed it very unvividly, and after a while, the cotton wool flew all over the sky, and she wanted to cry in literature and art, but she couldn't beat and scold, so she had to wipe her tears and let Qin Wu and them be optimistic about cotton and the little devil, and they would be alone in the bedroom.
This time, Wenyi used silk as a quilt cover to sew himself a ten-pound quilt and a mattress thick enough to be used by Simmons, and filled a pillow. Now the house is really complete. Shu'er's eyes were hot, and the little man had to sew it herself, but she was pricked several times on her hand, and she was in tears, so she had to hand over this task to milk tea. Wenyi asked Milk Tea to make a few more good quilts and padded jackets, and prepared to give them to Li Shimin in the name of Shu'er, or indirectly remind him that you still have a niece with me for a long time, hurry up and take it away!
Wenyi explained to Fang Sanye that the cotton was planted by Uncle Bolt, and he just borrowed the light to figure out the technique of playing cotton. Now that there is too much cotton, the two of them can't use it up, so they are going to teach the villagers how to use cotton to make clothes and quilts for winter. Fang Sanye liked the padded jacket and quilt he made very much, and without saying a word, all the women from every family in the village gathered in the literary courtyard. The women learned quickly, and in one day they were able to do a good job, and they gave them cotton evenly according to their heads, and declared that it was given to them by Uncle Bolt. He also told the families that they would be taught how to grow cotton at the beginning of spring next year, and this time he had enough cotton seeds, enough for the whole village to grow cotton. In line with the principle that the exclusive secret recipe will not be passed on, Fang Sanye also wanted to ask the villagers not to tell people from other villages, but was blocked by literature and art, literature and art said: "Third master, the people in our village and outside the village are poor people, and now that you have good things, you can't just take care of yourself, but also let other villagers know about it, so that everyone will not be frozen in winter, this is a good thing for the benefit of all people, you can't be too conservative." β
Fang Sanye had no choice, and under the resolute opposition of literature and art, he promised other villages that he was willing to learn and teach, and he also sent cotton seeds.
Literature and art did not hand over cotton to the government to promote this time, which would only make those nobles with fat brains benefit first, while the people who really need cotton will not get benefits. Therefore, this time the literature and art decided to let the cotton spread by itself, and I believe that when everyone sees the benefits of cotton in the coming year, there will definitely be more people who plant it. After all, each family only needs to grow a little cotton, which is enough for the whole family.
Shu'er sat in the carriage crying and crying, and turned her head from time to time to look at the literature and art standing at the head of the village waving goodbye, crying pear blossoms with rain, which made people love and pity. But it is a great joy for literature and art, and I finally sent this little demon king away by sending cotton clothes and quilts to Li Shimin, which annoyed me. When the carriage disappeared, he staggered home satisfied.
It's been a long time since Wenyi went to "Hope", and the fifty guards have been living at home for nothing. As soon as Shu'er leaves, he can devote himself to his work and be happy to think about it. With excitement, he gave an order and took fifty men into the mountain.
How did fifty feudal ancients see the technology in "Hope"? Everyone was amazed. Wenyi said with a smile: "Welcome to 'Hope', this is my studio, and it is also my core secret, everything in it does not need to be leaked by anyone under His Royal Highness King Qin, even if it is your pillow person." Everything in this is epoch-making, and you should seize the time to learn how to use and make various equipment. Now I began to assign tasks, and this time it was necessary to complete the development of the off-road vehicle. The fifty men were then divided into five groups, ten in groups, and each day one group took turns to be in charge of guarding and food, and the rest of the men were also divided into oil refiners, iron smelters, and sledgehammer pickers.
The fifty fighting men in the Qin Palace's mansion have all turned into scientific research workers from today, and the difficulty can be imagined. Literature and art began to teach little by little from reading pictures and literacy, and it took three days for them to barely understand the drawings. Six people with strong receptivity were selected from it as the deputies of literature and art, and they were given code names again: Wen Yi to Wen Liu, simple and rude, easy to remember.
Electric welding machines cannot be made now, and literature and art can only be replaced by bolts. After a month of busyness, a super large off-road vehicle with a width of three meters, a length of six meters, and a height of two meters was officially completed. The frame is made of pure steel, which is heavy and strong. Covered with the latest development of iron sheet, painted with black paint, the front of the two tungsten headlights, looks heroic and wild. The windshield is three centimeters thick, enough to withstand all current cold weapons. The new six-cylinder air-cooled engine is powerful and the wheels are made of cast iron and covered with thick hollow rubber. (This was found by chance from Li Shimin.) I heard that it was a tribute item from Fanbang, but no one would use it, and the quantity was not much, so Li Yuan gave it to Li Shimin. οΌ
Fifty men were all excited and wept when they looked at their works, and this car can only be described as "crazy and cool hanging and blowing up the sky". Wenyi sat in the driver's seat, and let Wen 1, Wen 2, Wen 3, and Wen 4 also come up, ready for a passionate test drive. Starting the car, the engine roars like a roar, and the powerful push back makes the literature and art seem to return to the future. Wen Yi and Wen Yi clenched the handrail tightly, clenching their teeth, revealing the fear of sitting in the car for the first time.
Out of the mountain, Wenyi didn't dare to drive towards the village, and the steering wheel turned slightly and drove towards the deserted place. Rolling down the window, feeling the speed and passion, Literature and Art were finally satisfied, he smiled, laughed, laughed wildly, didn't care about Wen Yi's feelings, the throttle was increased to the maximum, and only a faster speed could release the sorrow that Literature and Art had suppressed in his heart for two years. Who can feel his hardship and discomfort in the past two years? If you want to eat fish, you have to catch it, if you want to cover the quilt, you have to grow cotton by yourself, and you have to make a pot together for stir-frying. The taste can only be experienced by literature and art. Just like Wen Yi, they think that literature and art are land immortals, and they can even build a car that they can run, how can they understand that literature and art just want to experience the life they should have.
But it's all worth it, cars can be built, computers will appear, and mechs won't be too late. Literature and art firmly believe that the future is full of hope!
