Xue Gong suddenly mentioned that the imperial court wanted to select talents who could increase the production of copper and iron, which made Wu Yanzhi feel at ease, and he kept planning in his heart how to act.

"It's easier said than done! Since the beginning of the Wude period, it has been said that it is necessary to increase the output of copper and iron in the world, and more than 100 years have passed, and it is not only 18.9 million catties a year, but only 40,000 catties! Xue Gong said again.

"Also, the copper and iron mines are deep in the remote mountains, and the roads are impassable! It is very difficult to increase production! If someone can really come up with a way to increase copper and iron production, I am afraid that it will soar. The saint is very willing to do it for the official.

A few years ago, didn't there be a rigid department and the first, and it would be a five-grade Fengge house in one year? And it is not uncommon for those who do North Gate bachelors in the first two years! ”

"If there really is such a capable person, it is also a blessing for the country and the people. Copper and iron are the foundation of the country, especially steel, which is directly related to the production of agricultural machinery and weapons. For a country, it is the lifeblood! "Xue Gongdao.

"Wu Lang, hurry up and toast Xue Gong's wine!" Seeing Wu Yanzhi stunned, the Nine Heavens Dao Elder hurriedly reminded.

He suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "I will toast Xue Gong again for the late life, and please ask Xue Gong to cultivate more late students in the future!" With that, he did it all.

"Well said!" Xue Gong also had a drink! Then, he instructed Wu Yanzhi as an elder: "The Nine Heavens Dao Elder is also a loyal person, since he let you live here. It must also depend on your extraordinary person, and you may be able to get ahead in the future.

It's a secluded place to read, and you have to read the scriptures every day. This Ming Sutra is mainly pasting scriptures and ink meanings, in fact, it mainly depends on memory, as long as the kung fu is reached, it should not be difficult.

Of course, there are also current policies, which require dozens of current policies to be prepared and repeatedly revised and pondered! I'm afraid that I will play too much and waste my studies! I come here from time to time, but I can show you what to expect! ”

"Then thank you Xue Gong! Late in life, I will give Xue Gong another glass. Wu Yanzhi picked up his wine glass again. Although he had no idea of participating in the imperial examination for a long time, he didn't want him to feel that he was unskilled.

After all, although the doctor is only an official, he is a person close to the emperor. It is also a very important position, and it will often give advice to the emperor! Many people have gradually climbed to high positions in this position, and even paid homage to the prime minister.

Of course, in his memory, in the era of Wu Zetian, it seems that there should be no Xue who worships the prime minister! This Xue Gong doesn't know what his name is, since he has achieved the fifth grade now, he should no longer talk about Taizhong Cheng and Shilang in the future.

"Xue Gong, remember the late life! I don't know if I can give a few words of encouragement to the late students, so that the late students can be spurred sooner or later! Wu Yanzhi proposed to ask this Xue Gong to write a few words for himself.

"Good! Then ask the Taoist chief to prepare the pen and paper. "Xue Gong is very happy!

"Xue Gong can inscribe Wu Lang, it's really rare. Ping'er, get your paper, pen, ink, etc. ready! So the Nine Heavens Dao Leader instructed the attendants on the side to prepare relevant things.

When everything was ready, Xue Gong got up, and the two of them accompanied him to the side of the low table where they were playing chess just now. I saw a pale yellow two-foot banner hemp paper that had been pressed with white jade paperweight.

That Xue Gong thought for a while, and then put pen to paper: "Perseverance, rotten wood will not break; Perseverance, the gold stone can be carved --- Xue Jichang (Chang) in the first year of the first year of the fourth month of the eleventh book in the Xuantian Temple. ”

This is "Xunzi. The words and sentences in "Persuasion" are simple and easy to understand.

Wu Yanzhi hurriedly said: "Late life must be according to Xue Gong's words!" Frame the text and hang it in front of the desk. ”

It turned out that this person was Xue Jichang, and he was not very familiar with Tang history, except for Di Gong Di Renjie he just said, the characters at this time only remembered Zhang Cambodia, Wu Sansi, Wu Youji and other influential figures, and the others were not very familiar.

"Takerou! Xue Gong is not easy to inscribe, this character should be treasured. "Jiuxiao Dao said.

"Late life must be!"

Several people drank so much that they drank more than two buckets in total! Although the degree of this rice wine is only twelve or thirteen degrees, Wu Yanzhi drank seven or eight catties, and he also felt that he had five or six points of wine.

After the banquet was over, the two of them drank a few cups of tea, sat down and rested, and then started to play chess again, with Wu Yanzhi helping to pour water on the side.

……

That night, however, the weather changed abruptly, with thunder in the second half of the night, followed by a violent storm.

Wu Yanzhi didn't care, after being woken up by the thunder, he still fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was still close to ten o'clock.

The drizzle outside the window, the raindrops hit the banana leaves, Wu Yanzhi felt that the sound was very crisp and pleasant! There is no loneliness and worry that the ancients felt that the rain hit the plantain.

Because today he is going to start his own plan.

He washed up as usual and went out. For Wu Yanzhi in ancient times, it was very troublesome to comb his hair, and nothing else, such as brushing his teeth, although there was no toothpaste, but Wu Yanzhi rinsed his mouth with water and salt water, which was similar.

It's just that salt is more expensive, and although there is no soap for washing your face, there are soap horns available. This thing is Wu Yan's previous life, and he used it when he was a child to see his grandmother in the countryside.

At that time, there was a soaphorn tree in front of my grandmother's door that only three adults could hold, and my grandmother often used soaphorn to wash clothes, wash hands, and wash dishes.

This thing is better than any soap, soap, or facial cleanser, and it is more environmentally friendly! When Wu Yanzhi is bored, he often reads some time-traveling novels, what makes soap and soap, and so on.

He didn't use that effort to study that gadget right now! A person's energy is limited, he is just a person who has crossed over, and not hundreds of people, where is there so much energy to be consumed indiscriminately?

You can make things like soap yourself, but where is it more enjoyable to make "money" directly?

In the Taoist temple, he asked where the nearby brick kiln was, so he borrowed an oil umbrella and carried a jar of wine, and walked out slowly! This wine was given to Xue Jichang by the head of the Nine Heavens Dao yesterday, and he also gave him two jars by the way.

The umbrella was made of linen cloth and covered with tung oil, but for some reason the color of the umbrella was light green.

It's a new umbrella! Smelling the unique fragrance of tung oil wafting from time to time, Wu Yanzhi walked out of the gate of the Taoist temple! Whatever! As long as it's not a cuckold! He couldn't help but smile at the thought of a green hat! Because, in front of him, there was really a man wearing a green hat ---- a green hat and walked into the Taoist temple.

Who says cuckolds are derogatory?

The brick kiln is not far from the city canal outside the Hui'an Gate in the north of the city, and it is only five miles away from the Xuantian Temple, and Wu Yanzhi rushed to the place in two quarters of an hour.

It was drizzling, but I couldn't tell whether it was water mist or smoke, and there were three brick kilns in total.

Ay! I don't know if last night's heavy rain had an effect on the bricks they were burning, but if the fire has been turned off, it's a good thing that the top is cooling down.

It's not a big problem in general. Wu Yanzhi had also seen burning tiles and bricks in the countryside when he was a child, and it only took a few hours a night to burn them. The next day is to use yellow mud to store water on the top to cool down, and the kiln can be opened after a week.

When he was a child, he also helped his grandmother's next-door neighbor dry the clay tiles, which were made in the shape of a barrel, and after drying, when lightly tapped, they would split into four halves and turn into clay tiles.

When I got closer, I saw three men sheltering from the rain under a big tree next to me.

Wu Yanzhi walked over and asked, "A few old brothers, can you help me make three of these things and burn them?" ”

He handed over a piece of paper with a drawing of a crockpot.

A sturdy man in his thirties looked at him with a stiff face, and lazily reached out to take it. glanced at it, handed it back and said, "This thing is very simple, but how to do three?" It takes half a day to make a mold, and 300 is about the same! ”
