Chapter 55 Recruiting Zhao Wenshan
"Then you go and call Wang Gongzi out, and say that I have something to find him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhao Wenshan didn't embarrass a guard, and gave way.
"But...... But the young master told him to concentrate on his research inside, and told us not to disturb him......"
"Did that mean I can't even call him?"
"This ......" Wang Haoran really didn't say it so clearly, but the meaning was obviously to include Zhao Wenshan, but how to answer this?
When the guards were embarrassed, Zhao Wenshan urged again: "Since he didn't say it, and you don't dare to let me in privately, then you just go and ask directly, I still have urgent matters!" Hurry up! ”
The guards were urged to have no choice, so they had to walk to the research room where Wang Haoran was, but they stopped after just a few steps, how should they tell the little master? Turn around and go back, right? Then how to explain to Zhao Gongzi? I really regret why I just took these steps! I had no choice but to go to Wang Gongzi.
Wang Haoran didn't feel strange when he heard the doorman say that Zhao Wenshan was coming, so he took a polished magnifying glass and paper and went out to see Zhao Wenshan.
"Zhao Gongzi, why are you free to come over today?" Wang Haoran smiled when he saw Zhao Wen's aftermath.
"It's really boring to stay at home for a few days, so I came over to see how Wang Gongzi's factory here is doing." Zhao Wenshan said casually, depressed to find that Wang Haoran didn't mean to invite him in to have a look.
"The plant officially started a few days ago, and I have been busy developing some gadgets recently, and I have not visited Zhao Gongzi, and I ask Zhao Gongzi to forgive me!" Wang Haoran deliberately led the topic to the development of gadgets, and a person like Zhao Wenshan, who likes to engage in research and development, will definitely be able to attract his attention.
"Oh? I don't know what gadgets Wang Gongzi is developing? Can it be developed? Zhao Wenshan really took the bait.
"What I'm working on now is a magnifying glass, and that's it." Wang Haoran handed the magnifying glass in his hand to Zhao Wenshan and continued, "As the name suggests, through this mirror, you can magnify the things in front of you several times to observe. ”
"How does this work?" Zhao Wenshan took the magnifying glass and observed it for a while, but he didn't see anything famous, this thing was very similar to the rumored glass.
"Just look in the mirror."
Zhao Wenshan did so, only then did he discover its special place, and after pondering it carefully for a while, he found that the fingers observed through this mirror were several times larger! Surprised, he asked, "This thing is really amazing, what is the reason for this?" Why is everything that passes through this mirror magnified several times over? ”
"There's something peculiar about this thing." Wang Haoran smiled but did not answer, took the magnifying glass and continued to fish Zhao Wenshan's appetite, he squatted down and put the paper on the ground and pressed it with a small stone, and then adjusted the height of the magnifying glass, so that the sunlight focused on the paper through the magnifying glass and the bright spots on the paper were minimized. It didn't take long for some white smoke to come out of the place where the bright spot was located, and then it turned gray and black.
"...... this?" Zhao Wenshan was taken aback, this paper was obviously burned, he didn't expect this thing to be so dangerous, but fortunately he didn't burn himself when he played with it just now.
"Haha...... This is the second function of the magnifying glass, which concentrates the heat of the sun's rays into a single point. Wang Haoran saw that Zhao Wenshan's eyes were a little more frightened when he looked at the magnifying glass, and he couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't expect this little thing to have two such magical functions!"
"This is just a feature of the magnifying glass, if this feature is used well, it can make dazzling people see small words clearly, and can also see faces hundreds of feet away, and even let people see some invisible dust!" Wang Haoran threw out a series of incredible uses.
"How can this thing be used for such a purpose?" Zhao Wenshan's curiosity couldn't be higher, "Then are these things made?" Can you give me a feast for my eyes? ”
"Not yet, Chen Jun and I are still working on it these days, and when we make it, we will definitely let Zhao Gongzi take a look." Wang Haoran began to divert the topic to research.
"Then let me join you too, one more person!" Zhao Wenshan didn't think that Wang Haoran would refuse him at all, they had developed harvesters and shelling machines together before.
"This ......" Wang Haoran hesitated, "I developed these things, they will be used for sale in the future, and the production process is considered confidential, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to join in, right?" ”
"Humph! Don't you even believe me? Have you ever seen me tell someone how it was made? Zhao Wenshan was a little annoyed.
"Zhao Gongzi is angry, but this matter is very important, there are many processing equipment in the factory that no one else has, all my business depends on these brand new equipment, in case there is anything wrong, my business will not be good. Even when I recruited Chen Jun and Chen Jie, I signed a confidentiality agreement with them. "What kind of confidentiality agreement, this is just Wang Haoran's nonsense.
"Then I can also sign a non-disclosure agreement with you!" Zhao Wenshan's unrelenting reluctance is exactly what Wang Haoran wants to see.
"You're not the researcher I recruited, so you don't have any reason to sign a confidentiality agreement?" Wang Haoran was embarrassed.
"Can I apply for your position as a researcher?"
The reason why Zhao Wenshan was led by Wang Haoran by the nose, in addition to because he really likes to do research, is also an indispensable reason because he is not wary of the eleven-year-old Wang Haoran, who would have thought that such a young child would have so many twists and turns in his heart!
After flickering for most of the day, Wang Haoran finally recruited Zhao Wenshan in, and Zhao Wenshan also entered the mysterious factory as he wished. Wang Haoran took Zhao Wenshan around the factory, lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, and various tools...... Zhao Wenshan felt that he had come to a researcher's paradise, and as long as he had these devices, his imagination could be fully unleashed, and he would not be limited by the fact that some parts could not be made.
Wang Haoran: While they were busy researching, the problems caused by the poor harvest of rice were becoming more and more obvious. Although Li Shimin adopted Ma Zhou's suggestion to reduce taxes and open a granary, in Puzhou, Zhao Yuankai did something on it, and many ordinary people could only receive some relief grain, which would not last until next year's wheat harvest.
Last year's drought, the imperial court also opened a warehouse to release grain, Zhao Yuankai also did the same, the people had no way to ask for help, and finally relied on Zhao Wenshan to persuade his father, Zhao Yuankai then sent some grain to the people. This time, the people came directly to the factory to find Zhao Wenshan again, Zhao Wenshan naturally agreed, and persuaded his father again.
Wang Haoran understood Zhao Yuankai's intentions, and sang black face to his son.
However, opening the warehouse and releasing grain cannot completely solve the dilemma of the common people lacking grain, because there is not much grain left in the granary, and the price of grain has risen beyond the ordinary people's bearing.
Zhao Wenshan asked Wang Haoran and them, Wang Haoran racked his brains and couldn't think of any emergency solution, the only thing he could do was to make a few mixers and place them in the nearby villages for the people to use for free. Some wild vegetables were difficult to swallow, so the people could use this blender to mix and break them up and make cakes for food.
In addition, he built several threshing floors, pig houses, expanded factories, and bought a piece of land near Xie's house to build a three-story building, so that the people could earn some money to buy food. Zhao Wenshan didn't agree with this matter in the first place, the people were already suffering, and with all this spare money, wouldn't it be good to sell grain directly to the people?
Wang Haoran insisted: "This is different, there are many people suffering, even if I scatter all my wealth, I can't help many people, so who should I help first?" It's better to be like this, whoever contributes will have food, and those who can't do this work won't blame me. ”
Heaven favored the Americas, and the high-yielding dryland crops such as potatoes and corn were all placed on the other side of the sea, and ships had to be built to bring them in.
The difficult days lasted until the second year, that is, the fourth year of Zhenguan, and God forbid, this year finally came a great harvest. The common people swept away the past depression, and the farm finally regained some vitality.
