Wei Renshi and Li He sat on top of the Hu Table, with a large piece of ice in front of them, and bursts of coolness drifted in the wind, making them feel refreshed.

Drinking another sip of cold and sweet brown sugar ice water is extremely pleasant.

Li He looked at the brown sugar ice water in his hand and said, "Who knew that this ice could be made out of thin air without freezing in winter?" Every year, it takes a lot of effort to hide ice in the big gate! ”

"How much effort?" Wei Renshi asked casually.

"There has to be a special ice cellar, someone has to pick ice in the winter, and someone has to take care of the ice cellar on a regular basis......," Li He enumerated, "After spending so much effort, there is only a little ice that can be saved." I can enjoy more than a dozen bars of ice in a summer at my twenty-eighth uncle, which makes many people envious. ”

When Wei Renshi heard this, he immediately thought of selling ice in his heart.

How much does wall frost cost?

What about water, not to mention.

The cost of selling ice is so low that it is almost catching up with the white wolf with empty gloves.

The technical process is also very easy - lift the water, boil it, put it into a cool boil, and pour it into the inner pool. The outer pool is filled with water, saltpeter is poured in, the outer pool is cooled sharply, the inner pool freezes, the ice cubes are cut, and the work is done.

Wei Renshi rubbed his temples and sighed silently, this business opportunity is really everywhere, but it's a pity that he doesn't have so many trustworthy people, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward to handle it himself.

Leaving Li He's house, Wei Renshi did not go home directly, but turned to the construction site of the winery.

Sun Laohan was directing the construction and was found by Wei Renshi.

"Shaolangjun, what are you calling the old child?" Sun Laohan asked after passing over.

Wei Renshi thought for a while and asked, "Sun Aweng, do you still know that there were those people in our family who had good conduct and could count on them in the past?" Or is there anyone you know who is like this? I'm looking for some people. Naturally, they will not be treated badly. ”

Sun Laohan thought for a while and said: "In the past, Lao Liu's family was good, but I didn't know if Lao Liu was still there. Lao Dong's family also relied on the family and moved to the lower village. Lao Xiaoer also has a nephew, who is running in the official road station, and he is much more clever than Youqingke, but he has no bad intentions, and he can count on it, so he doesn't know if he wants to come. ”

Wei Renshi said: "Then let's do it, the first few families, Sun Aweng, you can try it and see if they can come back to help." Naturally, there will be no disadvantage in this salary, and I dare to guarantee that they will feed their family without worrying about food and clothing. Your nephew, go and tell me I have a new business, and if he comes, he'll be the shopkeeper. ”

"Huh?" Sun Laohan was taken aback: "This ...... Shaolangjun, you trust him so much that you call him the shopkeeper as soon as you come? ”

Wei Renshi grinned and said, "I can trust Sun Aweng. You always find time to talk to him, the sooner the better. ”

Sun Laohan was moved by these words, and he immediately wanted to give Wei Ren a salute.

"Sun Aweng, don't be polite to me, hurry up and find them, let's open early." After Wei Renshi stopped Sun Laohan, he said to him.

Sun Laohan nodded vigorously: "Yes!" The old man is going to call them! Here it goes! ”

Wei Renshi was about to explain a few more words to Sun Laohan, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps.

When I looked back, it was Zheng Lizheng and Tian Dali, as well as a group of neighbors in the village, running towards this side.

Everyone ran to them, and Zheng Li was saying to Wei Renshi: "Quick, go back!" The county honored you went to your house in person! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Wei Renshi and ran into the village.

Pulling Wei Renshi home, the door had already gathered the three layers inside and the three layers outside, and when Wei Renshi came back, the villagers were separated.

There was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties standing in the back, smiling and chatting with the neighbors around him.

Looking at the neighbors on the left and right, all of them gathered there were red and excited expressions on their faces. This kind of look is too familiar to Wei Renshi, and when I watched the leader on the news in later generations to inspect which village or town, the crowd gathered around him had this expression!

Seeing Wei Renshi come out, the middle-aged man ended the conversation with the villagers with a smile, looked Wei Renshi up and down, and then walked a few steps forward.

Wei Renshi is not a person without eyes, so he hurriedly ran forward a few steps, and then made a junior salute and said, "Student Wei Renshi, meet the county Zunming Mansion!" ”

Wei Renshi is not his subordinate official, so it is inconvenient to perform subordinate salutes. The kneeling ceremony in the Tang Dynasty was not common, unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, when officials had to kneel and bow. Now, even ordinary people, when they see officials, they can also make a salute, and there is no need to kneel and kowtow.

Wei Renshi is a scholar and a student, and this county magistrate is also a scholar and a senior of Confucianism, so it is most appropriate to use the title of scholar for seniors.

In a few glances, the county order had already looked Wei Renshi up and down, but when he saw that although the young man Langjun's family was poor, he did not have that kind of childish spirit, and he did not flinch when he stood there, and he was also calm, neither humble nor arrogant. Although the body is linen, it is clean, the appearance is ordinary, not heroic but not rough, and there is a calm bearing.

"What a person, Junjie Wei Renshi! The county is reporting that you have improved the plough and made the new plough that is much easier to use than the previous plough, and that it can be used with less effort and trouble, and that you can cultivate ten times more fields in a day. I also heard that you went out early to water the watering mechanism, so that the whole village and the fields did not need to be watered by people, and they could still water themselves day and night. Let's take a look today. If it really is, it is a great achievement, and the county should be praised, and it will also be a book. The county commander stood there, looked at Wei Renshi, and then spoke.

Wei Renshi saluted again and said, "Thank you Mingfu!" The Ming Mansion cares about the people and comes to inspect the school farm tools in person, which is really a model for my generation! It is really a blessing for Fuchang and a blessing for the people of Fuchang to have such parents and officials like Ming Fufu. ”

"Hehe, there is no trivial matter in farming, farming tools are related to the foundation of agriculture, this county is also to see for the people, if it is really beneficial, it should be implemented, and the people of the world will benefit!" The county order received a few words of flattery from Wei Renshi, and said with a smile.

"The Ming Mansion has a common mind, and the students admire it!" Wei Renshi saluted again and asked, "I don't know what the Ming Mansion wants to see first?" ”

"Let's take a look at the plough first." The prefectural order said.

Wei Renshi and Zheng Li were accompanying the county order, and the other villagers were following in a crowd behind, and a huge group of people rushed to the field.

Zheng Lizheng had already called for someone to carry the plough into the field as soon as he had just spoken.

When he arrived at the edge of the field, the county commander lifted up his clothes and went down to the field, and first saw the bamboo pipes on the ground, so he asked, "What are these bamboo pipes for?" ”

"Mingfu will take a look at the plough first, and after watching the plough, let's show you the use of these bamboo pipes." Zheng Lizheng said.

"It's fine." The county commander nodded, went over to the plow, looked left and right, and said, "It's really different from an ordinary plow." ”

Wei Renshi stepped forward to explain, but the county order didn't know whether he understood or not, anyway, he just nodded frequently. Then he pointed to the servants who came with him and asked, "Have you all used ploughs?" ”

"Back to the county, the little ones have used it!" The officers hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

The county commander nodded and said, "Then a few of you, go over and try this plow." ”

When the officers had received the order, they went forward, one in front and one in the back, and tried it in the field.
