Volume 1 Born Out of Thin Air Chapter 83 Acceptance
When Wang San was first released, his mind was a little messy, and he wanted to talk to someone. After being beaten twice, he recognized his position, and then obediently drank porridge and took medicine. After recuperating for a week, Wang San finally met Li Xiang, who had been known for a long time.
Li Xiang has been as busy as a dog this decade. The public meeting should be reorganized, and the newly established executive meeting should come up with election and management methods; The medical and health departments, Mongolian schools, and industrial and mining departments must implement a management system of charts and official documents, and prisons and other places must be greatly rectified; The management organization of Mingyueji has just taken shape, and Mingyuezhuang's fort building plan must also be reconsidered.
Before coming to Li Xiang's public house, the fierce and vicious Liu Sheng searched Wang San first, and felt his teeth grinning. Uncle Zhao glared at him, signaled not to talk nonsense about the situation in the black prison, and then put him in.
Wang San finally met Li Xiang, who was using the mass-produced quill pen made by Zhen Laoshi and Li Mengkong and others to write the official document quickly, and did not forget to signal him to wait a while.
After writing, I quickly checked it, poured out some of the sealing wax that had been roasted over low heat, and then pressed it with the copper seal of the owner, and the letter was sealed. Xiong Chengwen glanced at the red big seal rarely, then picked up the official document and ran away.
Wang San felt that Mingyue Village, no, Mingyue Village was more difficult to understand than before. Clean streets, uniform houses and a strict sanitation system are secondary, and the key is that the villagers in Mingyuezhuang are very different from the people of Dazhou outside. I can't describe the specific differences, but I feel that the people here live more fulfilling, confident, and calm.
Seeing that Wang San was hesitating to kneel, Li Xiang took a sip of tea and leaned back on the back of the chair. "No one in Mingyue Village needs to kneel, find a place to sit by yourself."
Wang San saw a strange bench on the left, so he took it and moved it to the next one, and his ass was only half of it. This bench with three round legs is quite comfortable, and the cloth on it is soft and soft.
"Wang Dawang Er took refuge in the Huang family, you know this, right?" Li Xiang asked for a long time. As he spoke, he motioned to the strong woman next to her, and the woman, whose husband and son had all died in battle, went to the hut to make tea.
Wang San sighed, also a little depressed. "I know. My brother's move is very unwise, the weasel can betray Zhao Scar, who has worked hard for him for more than ten years, and he is even more insatiable, where is a family worthy of trust, but unfortunately my brother is desperate or passed. Got up and took the tea from the woman's hand, Wang San thanked him and sat down again, took a sip, and immediately doubted his life.
"Aunt Lin's son died in Sanwangzhai, so ...... Ahem, don't mind. That Huang family is the enemy of my Mingyue Village, you know this, right? Li Xiang put his head on the pillow and squinted at Wang San.
Cold sweat flowed into the tea bowl, and Wang San took another sip of tea to suppress the shock. "Ahem, it's clear below. The Huang family is not a good place to go, if Mingyuezhuang can give food to eat, I am willing to persuade the two brothers to abandon the secret and turn to the light......"
"Wait, who said I'm going to fight the Huang family's mansion. My father-in-law has just recruited An, and many people are watching it, how can I be rough at this juncture. Wang San, be careful and don't move......" Li Xiang was righteous and awe-inspiring, interrupting Wang Sanli's remarks that he should cooperate with the outside.
So what the hell do you want?! Wang San was scornful in his heart, and smiled bitterly, "What does the owner of the village mean?" ”
Li Xiang threw a few documents such as the positioning, management methods and workshop distribution of Mingyueji, and the more Wang San looked at it, the more frightened he became, what a good one to fight cattle across the mountains and add darkness to the city warehouse and borrow chickens to lay eggs! Taking a deep breath, Wang San decided not to test again. He already understood Li Xiang's intentions, and at the same time felt that he couldn't play the other party at all.
Wang San clenched his fists and bowed, "There is another question below, why is the owner so sure that my heart will be towards Mingyue Village and not the squire outside?" You must know that the Sanwang Village in the lower part was destroyed in the hands of Mingyue Village, and the squires of Xunyang Mansion and Shiyan Prefecture were also willing to support the lower ones. ”
"Grudges can be settled or resolved, Mingyuezhuang attaches the most importance to contracts here, and I also want to treat you as a horse bone, so you don't have to worry that I will cross the river and tear down the bridge. Later, when we look at the newly built workshops and new barracks in Zhuangzi, smart people will naturally make the right choice. ”
"I must remind you about the gentry that no one like you and me must have the slightest carelessness towards the gentry, nor should he have the slightest trust in the gentry. Otherwise, you'll be eaten to the point that there's nothing left, trust me. ”
"With my father-in-law's ability, it is only a matter of time before I defeat Fang La and make a great contribution, and my Mengxue in Mingyuezhuang will also sponsor some dolls to take the imperial examination. After so many years, there are meritorious and military achievements, military strength, and financial resources, and a strong identity can't run, right? ”
"How high your Wang family can climb depends on how well you do in Mingyueji. You can do your best, the game between the gentry, the prefect, the Xiangjun and Mingyuezhuang will be a long-term process, I just hope you don't make a mistake when you get to the side. Speaking of this, Li Xiang looked at Wang San with a smile.
Wang San scolded in his heart, who gave you this blind confidence?! He was very surprised, hearing that Li Xiang meant to take charge of himself? He blushed and said, "The owner wants me to manage the Mingyue Collection?" ”
"Smart, since you can build a Sanwang Village from scratch and let more than 500 people be self-sufficient, I guess a bright moon set will be difficult for you. Liu Chengliang and Zhang Wanli will assist from the side, and at the same time, it is also necessary to monitor, I hope you can understand. ”
Wang San breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if he hadn't been restrained at all, he would have suspected that there was fraud in it, but Liu Chengliang, the master of the knife and the private leader of the yin, is really not easy to provoke!
Lei Cheng, who took the time to come over, that is, Lei Blacksmith, and Aunt Xiong and others gave Wang San a detailed introduction to the details of Mingyueji's management, entry and exit taxes, and mediation disputes, during which Li Xiang quietly left.
In the top-secret workshop in the northwest corner of Mingyue Village, Four-Eyed Boy wore glasses made of crystal, looked at the depressed radar with a proud face, and reached out to support the silver frame. The radar next to him hung his head and his eyes were red.
When Li Xiang arrived here, Liu Susu, Li Mengkong, and Carpenter Cao had already arrived, and they were all a little impatient. Li Xiang encouraged the radar, praised the four-eyed boy, and then nodded.
Four-Eyed motioned for the craftsman next to the watermill to start, and the man pressed an iron wrench. There was a sudden screeching noise from the waterwheel, and then everyone saw the propeller shaft in front of them begin to rotate, and through several gears and other devices, a hundred-kilogram hammer was driven and slammed into the tool table below.
Lei Cheng glanced at his son who was not angry, took the red-hot iron and put it on the tool table, and soon made a knife embryo, "This hydraulic forging hammer is really amazing, it is strong, and it is fast enough." This waterwheel has to top a hundred and ten strong men and ten cows. ”
Mingyuezhuang has long begun to use pulley sets to drive the hammer to forge with human or animal power, but it can't compare to the uninterrupted hydraulic forging hammer.
Hydraulic forging hammer is easy to say, but it is a very complex project in Dazhou. Propeller shaft problems, gear engagement problems, gear shift problems, and durability problems are all obstacles, and radar mainly relies on traditional technology, trying to solve all the problems by one person, of course, it has suffered a fiasco.
Four-eyed boy completed his three-year study in Mongolia in less than a year, and Li Xiang specially approved him to enter the laboratory. Variable analysis, experimental verification and chart analysis were insisted on by Four-Eyed Boy, and then he strictly required the size of each part and controlled the tolerance. In just three months, Four-Eyed Boy has built a usable hydraulic forging hammer on the basis of radar.
The contribution of radar is not small, and the four-eyed boy has only developed a little result on the basis of radar. After being comforted by the owner, Radar decided to go back and make up for the new knowledge, and he must compare the four-eyed boy with Dese.
At the same time, Li Xiang raised the problem of letting a waterwheel drive multiple forging hammers, and gave an inspiration. The hammer doesn't need to fall very often, and if you let the transmission drive multiple hammers in turn, will it solve the problem?
Li Xiang and others were brainstorming, only to hear a few creaks, and the transmission shaft stopped running. The four-eyed boy was embarrassed, and the carpenter and the blacksmith Lei also sighed again and again. The water flow is fast and slow, and there is no problem with simply driving the water mill, but the transmission shaft and transmission device are really unbearable. Li Xiang shouted proudly in his heart, and it was time for him to pretend again.
"It's easy to solve this problem, since the flow of water is volatile, let's build a multi-level pool. First lift the water to a high place with a water wheel, and then put the water down from a small opening to drive the hydraulic forging hammer ......" Li Xiang once again embodied his identity as a "master craftsman", and the eyes of the older generation of masters and radars and other young people shone brightly. Great talent, the owner is a great talent!
After receiving the stunned eyes of a group of people, Li Xiang took Liu Xiaoci to fish with satisfaction. I haven't been with Miss Liu for a long time, so I must make a good fish soup this time, which can be regarded as giving myself benefits.
After Wang San saw the weapon workshop in Mingyuezhuang, he walked out of the gate with a pale face and met Wang Dawang Er, who rushed to hear the news. The reunion of the brothers is very touching.
Wang San, who had not yet come out of the shock, turned to look at Mingyuezhuang, as if there was a vicious beast entrenched there. Now the giant beast is still chained, if Li Xiang or the Great Zhou court removes the chain......
Shuddering, Wang San shook his head, don't think about things so far away for the time being. Besides, Da Zhou is so big, maybe many people's workshops are not worse than here.
Cai Erlaizi took a letter, ran out of breath, and walked through several small doors before coming to the back house.
Huang Liren was silent for a long time after reading the letter, "What the hell is this Li Xiang doing, he actually released Wang San, who had a grudge against Mingyuezhuang, to manage Mingyueji." Is this to show that he is selfless, or is there some conspiracy, he is so confident that he can play with Wang San, who pulls up a stockade with his white hands? Thinking about it repeatedly in his heart, Huang Liren put the letter behind him and paced to the rockery.
"I almost got caught up in you. Want to play with people's hearts? Anyway, the old man will play with you. ”
At the beginning of July of the second year of Shengxi, the Mingyue Market officially opened. At first, the land was very cheap, but as the workshop of Mingyueji gradually became famous, the land was raised to a sky-high price.
Mingyueji does not have the difficulties of the officials, the tooth line, the gentry, the army and the government, this is the biggest advantage, and the officials and the government cannot be confused. Mingyueji was originally the product of the cooperation between the Xiang army, the government and the gentry, and had a relatively independent status from the beginning.
The gentry represented Wang San in charge of the affairs of Mingyueji, Liu Chengliang represented the interests of Mingyuezhuang, and Zhang Wanli, who was born as a staff member of the Xiangjun capital, represented the interests of the Xiangjun and the government. The officials touched their noses in front of the Xiang army and the Zhuang Ding of Mingyuezhuang, and Yaxing, who had lost the support of the government, did not dare to stretch out his hand to Mingyueji.
The merchants of Mingyueji only need to pay the imperial court tax and a part of the management fee, and the whereabouts of the management fee are posted every month. Later, Mingyueji allowed merchants to set up a chamber of commerce to connect with Wang San.
The clean brick-covered pavement, the gluttonous Mingyue Restaurant and the popular goods brought a large number of people, and the green houses, brothels and goulans appeared one after another, and the Mingyue Market soon launched its own signboard. Wang San, the titular steward of Mingyueji, gradually came into the sight of people with hearts, and Wang San finally realized his dream and found his way between the government, the gentry and Mingyuezhuang.
