Chapter 231: Business Opportunities (Second Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)

(On the shelves tomorrow, ask for the first order)

When Shi Yiwen created his own little world on the banks of the Lugou River and tried to make a difference, he didn't know that he had brought many changes to this era.

"Tsk, this is really a god!"

Staring at the well water flowing out of the wellhead, Zhang Deyi's eyes were already straight.

"Can it be a god, this is a divine well made by the little god when Zhang Ge asked the old man!"

"That's the divine well that can steal yellow spring water!"

"What to steal, that's called Ji. What's it called, oh...... "Draw yellow spring water, solve the drought in the world", this is a good thing! ”

In the words of the people, Zhang Deyi looked at Tiejing with a blank eye, his eyes full of surprise.

For a whole day, Zhang Deyi stood on the side of the road, watching the people take turns pressurizing the water, watching them pour buckets of water into the fields, perhaps because he was too focused and some children shouted.

"What are you doing? Why do you always keep staring at the pressurized water well in my village, shouldn't you want to steal our wells! ”

"Daddy, daddy, this man is always staring at our well!"

"Who, who wants to steal this, I, I'm just going to see ......"

Zhang Deyi explained anxiously.

"I've never seen a well like this before, so I want to see it for a while."

Despite his explanation, the people in the village were careful, and the old man said to the people next to him.

"A few of you are optimistic about the future generations, this well is easy to fight, and there is no iron well head that can't press water......"

"You can't press water without a well?"

Of course, the villagers did not answer Zhang Deyi's question, but Zhang Deyi finally got the news he wanted to know.

As a businessman who traveled from east to west, north and south, he could almost clearly realize the good coming of this pressurized water well.

"This pressurized water well is made of three feet and six feet of big bamboo as the water pipe, and it has been buried deep into the ground three feet and five feet deep, and the water that leads out is the cold yellow spring water, that is, the sun is poisonous, the sky is dry, and the yellow spring water is not dry, I heard that this is the god well made by Zhang Ge Lao to ask the little fairy, just to steal the yellow spring water to help ......the people of the world."

Of course, Zhang Deyi did not believe the words of the villagers, he was over 50 years old, and he had been traveling from south to north for many years, how could he believe the so-called "draw yellow spring water, solve the drought in the world", but what he saw was a business opportunity.

Seeing his father staring at the well, he was silent for a long time, but Zhang Heling, who was only twenty years old, was curious.

"Dad, this pressurized water well looks a little strange, but it won't look like this for a day."

"Ling'er, you don't understand......"

Staring at the pressurized water well, Zhang Deyi sighed.

"Our Yingzhou Mansion, that is also the place of ten years and nine droughts, Emperor Sejong, we had a big drought, there has not been a drop of rain for half a year, the outside of the city is full of red land, there is no harvest, the river is dry and the wells are dry, cannibalism, you know, but even if it is so drought, there are still more than a dozen century-old wells in the city with water, how deep is the well? It's not yet three zhang, it's a hundred-year-old well, it's so deep, the well is deep enough, if every household has this pressurized well......"

Staring at the iron-cast well, Zhang Deyi sighed.

"At that time, the villagers will no longer be afraid of the fear of drought, and they will no longer have to rely on the weather for food!"

"Dad, we don't have it in Yingzhou yet."

Zhang Heling's eyes lit up and he said softly.

"Could it be that Daddy wants to sell it in Yingzhou?"

After taking a closer look, Zhang Heling said softly.

"Look at it is made of iron, it doesn't seem to be very complicated, according to the child's opinion, this is better to sell, or we will open an iron foundry in our hometown to make it?"

His son's words made Zhang Deyi nod with satisfaction.

"Ling'er, in business, you are much stronger than your two brothers, they are good at reading, but you like to do business, in the future, they will be admitted to the Jinshi, enter the court as an official, you are in business and heirloom, so my father will be relieved."

"The child is stupid, let your father bother!"

Zhang Heling hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Don't say that, our family's business must be done by someone, so that your two elder brothers will study in the future, and you can also supplement them some, after all, it is not easy to gain fame."

After that, Zhang Deyi looked at the pressure well again and said to his son.

"Ling'er, let's go, let's go directly to the government to see what kind of "official supervision method" this well is, even if you spend more money, you have to take down this method of building a pressurized water well, and then take it back to your hometown in Yingzhou. ”

Although Yingzhou is adjacent to Henan, but because all the well molds will be assigned to the five northern provinces that are more prone to drought, Yingzhou, which belongs to the south of Zhili, is naturally not among them, and if it is not for chance, Zhang Deyi will not know that there is such a good thing in the world that can take "yellow spring water".

He came to the county seat, but only spent a few dozen taels of silver to get what he wanted - a hand-copied "Pressurized Water Well Method", but this well method only talked about how to drill a well, for the casting well, just a pass, for this reason, he took his son to Fucheng, and finally found what he wanted in the foundry of the Xu family in Fucheng.

Although he was an old acquaintance with the Xu family, Zhang Deyi did not mention anything to the Xu family to buy a well mold, but directly took out the money to find the craftsmen in the Xu family's iron workshop.

"Grandfather, what about the iron mold of this well, in fact, it is not troublesome, and you can cast it yourself, but you can measure it out yourself, and the things you cast are always a little worse, so a while ago, Master Xu deliberately went to the capital to find the Lugou Iron Factory, and bought the iron mold pattern and ruler used for casting the well......"

"You're saying someone is willing to sell that iron mold?"

Zhang Deyi asked in surprise.

"If you use a clay mold, if you don't dry it for a few months, the mold blank will definitely not be formed, but the sand mold is different, and the ...... is now used."

The craftsman who lost fifty taels of silver in vain, naturally knows everything about the problems of Zhang Deyi's father and son, and he has nothing to say, after all, these fifty taels of silver are almost worth his salary for a year.

Commercial espionage has existed since ancient times, and even the parties sometimes don't know what their actions are, although the craftsmen don't seem to say what to do to make the head of the pressurized water well, but for Zhang Deyi and his son, they still know what they want from his words.

After the craftsman left, looking at his father, who had been silent in thought, Zhang Heling said.

"Dad, why don't you go to the capital?"

"No!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Deyi instructed his son.

"You are still too young, this matter still has to be done for your father, um, but you don't want to be idle, you go directly back to your hometown in Yingzhou, build a foundry outside the city, find good craftsmen, and prepare iron materials, don't delay...... Let's Zhang, maybe it's going to look at this time! ”
