Hearing Wang Haoran say this, Li Shimin was disappointed a lot, since he saw the power of explosives, he deeply felt that the future battlefield will be very different, whoever is more skilled in gunpowder will become the overlord of this world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And this overlord's position, how can Li Shimin let others take it away? So as soon as he heard that Supervisor Ye had found a new explosive, he left the activities in the palace and hurriedly ran over to see what was going on.
It seems that Li Shimin called Wang Haoran for this matter, and fortunately, he could edict Wang Haoran, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died. Thinking that he would have to entertain the envoys of various countries tomorrow, Li Shimin returned to the palace early, and just said to Wang Haoran before leaving: "Haoran, thanks to you this time, I don't know how to reward you, if you think of any needs in the future, tell me directly, let King Wei tell me." ”
After Li Shimin left, Wang Haoran explained to Supervisor Ye the matters that need to be paid attention to if he wants to study white phosphorus in the future, and asked Li Tai to send him home.
"You're not going back to Yifang?" Li Tai asked.
Guiyi Fang is the Fang where Wang Honggui's Wang family is located, and Wang Furen, where Wang Furen's Wang family is located, is Yining Fang.
"No, I'll go back to Yiningfang."
After a few months, when Lao Han started to replace the hydrodynamic loom, Hanniu's father Zhou Kang came to the door, it was almost the rice sowing season, and he came to ask Wang Haoran for advice. Wang Haoran didn't know much about farming, but thinking of the importance of mixed rice, he decided to follow up on it personally.
On Lao Han's side, with the help of Chen Jun and Chen Jie, it didn't take much time to replace the new generation of textile machines. As for the employees, Lao Han and his brothers were soldiers and knew a lot of people, so they didn't need to ask more about anyone's difficulties, and they quickly gathered enough manpower.
Wang Haoran also found a shop near Shengxin Building for wholesale materials, and in order to avoid a more serious impact on other fabric stores, his store only does wholesale and not retail. The reason why this store is opened near Shengxin Building is also to bring more people to Shengxin Building, after all, it is not more prosperous than West City after all. If there is any other business in the future, Wang Haoran will inevitably choose Shengxinlou's side. And the position of the shopkeeper of this fabric shop was handed over to He Ming, the son of He Yuanfeng, the deputy director of the factory.
After Lao Han's side was operating normally, Wang Haoran asked Chen Jun and Chen Jie to withdraw to the factory to study knitting machines. At this time, the experimental field can also start transplanting, Wang Haoran naturally has to personally go over to command and supervise, if these nine varieties are messed up, it will be wasted.
There were only nine kinds of rice seeds collected by Wang Furen, and just one of the experimental fields divided into ten parts was divided into nine pieces for sowing. When sowing, Wang Haoran marked the name of the rice seed on each piece of land and recorded it one by one.
When planting seedlings, Zhou Kang invited many farmers to come and help. Looking at the horizontal and vertical columns of the wall, the farmers were already disgusted, and after listening to Zhou Kang's rice planting arrangement, they even had to be separated from the wall for some distance before they could plant rice. Someone couldn't sit still and said, "Old Zhou, according to your arrangement, you can't waste nearly an acre of land!" What a good piece of land, how can it be wasted like this? In my opinion, just tear down the walls. ”
"This is what the little master meant, where did I do it." Zhou Kang looked at Wang Haoran as he spoke, seeking the little master's opinion.
Wang Haoran was speechless, if there was no wall, when the rice bloomed and the pollen would be fluttering, who knows which two varieties are miscellaneous!
Wang Haoran was thinking about how to prevaricate in the past, when another farmer stepped forward and had something to say, in his opinion, Wang Haoran was so hesitant, he must be distressed and had to pay another salary: "Little master, what is there to hesitate about, don't worry, I won't charge another salary for demolishing the wall." ”
The other farmers have just "woken up", it turns out that this little master still has this little bit of caution? So they responded.
"I don't charge any extra money!"
"Me too."
……
Wang Haoran was so troubled that he couldn't cry or laugh, should you be so simple! It makes people want to find an excuse to fool you, and you all feel guilty. Alas...... If the sin is serious, the sin is serious, and the fool still has to be fooled, and you can't give up this research, right?
"Listen to me, everybody." Wang Haoran motioned for everyone to be quiet, "There are a total of nine rice varieties here, all of which are imported from other places. The habits of rice varieties are different, and I want to see what kind of rice can grow well here and have a high yield, and then I will use this rice to grow on a large scale. If the fence is torn down, the pollen of various rice varieties will drift around, resulting in a deviation in yield, and if the worst rice seed is selected in the end, then it will not be even more wasteful for large-scale planting in the future? ”
"So there's still this at stake! Then you can't be stingy with these lands. ”
Finally coaxed these farmers, Wang Haoran relieved himself.
After the matter was busy here, Wang Haoran took He Ming to get to know Lao Han, and the two of them will have to deal with each other often in the future. He Ming was busy with the decoration and decoration of the fabric shop before, and he never had time to introduce him to Lao Han.
The weaving mill was already rushing to catch up with the goods, and before entering the yard, you could hear the non-stop operation of the weaving machines inside. He Ming didn't know about the water-powered loom, and when he saw that there were only a few weaving workshops here, he couldn't help but worry: "Little master, just a few weaving mills, in less than two months, I'm afraid that the fabric shop will not have enough goods if it wants to open for wholesale!" ”
"Don't worry about this, you won't think so when you go in and see." Wang Haoran said confidently.
"Eun Gong is here! Isn't this the shopkeeper? Lao Han happened to see Wang Haoran and He Ming walking in from the door of the weaving workshop, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Old Han, don't always call me Engong, just call me Little Master like everyone else."
"Yes, young master."
"This is the shopkeeper of He." Wang Haoran introduced, "Lao He, this is Lao Han, the steward of this weaving workshop, and you will have to deal with a lot of places in the future." ”
Lao Han was polite to He Ming for a while, and then took them to visit the weaving workshop. As soon as he entered the door, He Ming was stunned, there was no busy scene as he imagined, only a few women were leisurely checking the quality of the weaving next to the loom, and only the loom was busy.
"This ...... Why doesn't this textile machine need to be operated by anyone? He Ming asked in surprise.
"Haha...... This is a new water-powered textile machine made by the little master, except for changing the yarn, all the other actions are driven by the water, magical, right? Although Lao Han had seen the modified water-powered textile machine before, he was still shocked and speechless when he saw the new water-powered textile machine again.
"It's amazing indeed! At this speed, it is at least ten or twenty times faster than the traditional textile speed."
"Hey...... And that's not all! I've counted the time before, and it's almost so much faster! Old Han stretched out four fingers and said mysteriously.
"Four...... Forty times!? He Ming stared at Lao Han incredulously, wondering if he had counted Lao Han's fingers wrongly, but saw Lao Han responding to himself with a smile, it seems that this is indeed not wrong.
"How? Now you won't have to worry about running out of stock, will you? Wang Haoran asked with a smile.
"That's a natural thing to worry about. No wonder the little master is so sure, it turns out that there is such a magical thing. He Ming replied, and then walked to the side of the loom to observe the quality of the fabric spun, and asked: "This weaving speed is so fast, and the woven fabric is neat and delicate, I don't know how much the little master will price the fabric?" ”
"It's the same price as other fabrics of the same fabric."
"This ......" He Ming really doesn't know how to answer, if you look at the quality of the fabric, the price is low, but if you look at the speed of weaving, this price can be regarded as a lion's mouth.
"You don't need to worry too much about this, if the price is too low, other weaving mills will not survive, if the price is too high, and it goes against my original intention, I am not a businessman who only cares about making money."
"What does the little young master mean by such a price?" As a businessman, you still have to consider so many aspects, is this still a businessman? He Ming hadn't thought deeply about this aspect before, but simply thought that businessmen were a group of people who pursued profits. However, after seeing Wang Haoran's advanced equipment here, he vaguely felt that Wang Haoran seemed to really have the ability to pursue profits while taking care of others.
"This will not cause the other weaving mills to close down, and secondly, it will also give them enough pressure that when they can't stand it, they will inevitably come to visit, and then I will have to do something big with them."
