Chapter XXVII
Although the weather was cold, Jiang Hexing still walked out of the city, if nothing else, he found that there were still many varieties of things on the market, and he wanted to see what was going on. When he walked www.biquge.info the road and watched a horse pulling a sleigh walking in the snow, he understood that it was freezing here, and the snow could be walked, and the ice on the river could also transport things. patted his head, didn't look at it, remembered the transportation, how was Wang Ke's four-wheeled carriage, it's been almost half a year, see if there is any progress?
Jiang Hexing went straight to the institute, and now there are many craftsmen in the institute, including carpenters, blacksmiths, and cobblers, and Wang Kechong is the chief engineer to conduct research on four-wheeled carriages.
The four-wheeled carriage existed in this era, but it was far from the requirements of the river line, so the river line required to be improved into a new type of four-wheeled carriage.
Entering the yard, there was heavy snow, and the road was slightly cleared by a path, and it seemed that there were not many people here. As soon as he walked to the door, Jiang Hexing heard Wang Ke say loudly: "Old Sun, don't think nonsense, let us make a four-wheeled carriage with Wang, let's make a carriage seriously, don't mention your iron carriage." ”
A high-pitched voice, like a woman's voice, said in a loud voice: "Of course I know it's a four-wheeled carriage, but maybe my carriage is better?" ”
"What's better, a rock can block your car, it's too simple for you to think."
Jiang Hexing walked into the house, the house was warm as spring, but it was a little messy, there were wheels on the ground, big and small, and some axles were mixed with the wheels. There were still a few sheepskin drawings on the ground, a few people were lying on the ground looking at the drawings, and more people were in a circle to persuade Wang Ke and the old grandson.
Jiang Hexing walked directly into the circle, and everyone was shocked and gave salutes one after another. Wang Ke and the old grandson immediately stayed there, at a loss, Jiang He walked over, patted the two of them on the shoulder, pointed to the table and chair next to them, and said, "Sit down and talk slowly." ”
That old grandson is not old at all, he looks like he is about 30 years old, but he is a little feminine, and his voice is like a woman, but he is five big and three thick. The three of them sat down together, and someone brought hot water.
Jiang Hexing took a sip of hot water and asked, "How is it, how is your life?" ”
Wang Ke said: "Life is very good, food, clothing and housing are much better than before." Just ......"
"It's just something, don't talk about it."
"And Wang, the better we live, the more uneasy we become, no matter how hard the four-wheeled carriage tries, I don't know how to report to you. I always feel that I have failed to live up to your trust, and we people have achieved nothing, and the more I think about it, the more unpleasant it becomes. As he spoke, Wang Ke lowered his head, as if he had been caught as a schoolboy who had made a mistake.
"If it's easy to do, I'll do it myself, and what are you looking for skilled craftsmen to do, as long as it can be done in a lifetime, it's good, I've only seen the picture, I haven't seen the real thing, otherwise I can tell you more specific. In your life, the credit of the sailboat alone is enough, and many people can't do it in a few lifetimes. But there are four-wheeled carriages, and they have contributed more to us than a great general. ”
Wang Ke raised his head and said word by word: "As long as I trust Wang, I will fight with the carriage in my life." ”
Jiang Hexing laughed: "Research, there is really no progress, you can also go outside to play, and in the future, you can go and play together." As long as you don't let outsiders know about you now, you have to keep it a secret for the time being. ”
Everyone nodded with some excitement on their faces.
Jiang Hexing turned his head, looked at Lao Sun and said, "You are Lao Sun, what does the iron car you said look like just now." ”
Lao Sun said sharply: "He Wang, my name is Sun Xian, I used to be a blacksmith, but I grew up by the river since I was a child, and I always watched the boat move in the water, so I thought that one day the car could put a place to go like the boat." Then I came here, and I saw a four-wheeled car, and I figured out that we could make an iron groove in the ground, and the wheels would just walk in the groove, so that the direction of the wheels would be fixed, and we would not consider his steering, and we would be able to carry a lot of good things. So it's not just four wheels, six wheels, eight wheels are fine. ”
Jiang Hexing smiled and asked, "Do you have any drawings for drawing?" ”
Sun Xian really took out the drawings from his arms, but they were like sketches, only the grooves could be seen, there were a few wheels, and there were a few horses in front.
Jiang Hexing took a pen, drew the shape of the angle steel, and drew a V-shaped angle steel wheel next to his drawing. Jiang Hexing pushed the drawings to Sun Xian, Sun Xian glanced at the drawings, and immediately grabbed the drawings and jumped up. Everyone turned their heads to look at each other, looking very displeased, but Jiang Hexing has always been pleasant. It turned out that Sun Xian saw the picture drawn by the river line, and the dilemma of what to do when it rained and what to do when it encountered mud and sand was suddenly eliminated. He couldn't control himself, and when he realized his gaffe, he sat down in his chair with a flushed face.
Jiang Hexing said: "Your idea is also very good, if you can't do this four-wheeled carriage, you can do it, you are all meritorious people." Starting today, Sun Xian, you should start studying this first, as for the railroad track I drew just now, you are a blacksmith, so I don't care. ”
Sun Xian nodded in agreement.
Jiang Hexing encouraged Wang Ke and everyone again, and after eating with everyone, he went back happily.
Two days later, Jiang Hexing called Wang Ke to the office alone, and retired to tell him some things alone. First, the people from Zhangjiazhuang in Jiang Hexing's mind are different from others, they are veterans, one of the masters here, and they are more masters than others. Wang Ke wants to know his own status, he is now the master of the institute, his work is not just a four-wheeled carriage, anything can be studied, and the results of research have his credit.
Second, don't be afraid of failure, go and see how other industries do it, for example, car builders can see how ships are made, and iron workers can learn how carpenters do, learn more and see more. Don't seek overnight success, but seek daily gains, and failure is also a kind of harvest.
Third, don't be afraid to spend money. As long as the research is needed, as much as it wants, the researchers are paid as much as they think. Life is better than they imagined, and in this regard, don't think about letting others repay the favor every day, but look at what you give.
Fourth, don't be afraid of others copying. The things that come out of research are all used by people, and only when there are many people who imitate them, the research is meaningful, and it is the biggest waste to put them on the shelf. Unless there are military supplies designated by the river bank, other things should be researched and sold as soon as possible, or they can be sent out, and strive to be used as soon as possible.
Fifth, recruit talents extensively, from all walks of life, it seems that talents can be recruited.
Jiang Hexing repeatedly talked about the significance of technology and the significance of technology promotion, until it was time to eat, Jiang Hexing and Wang Ke had eaten together, and then let Wang Ke go back.
The research institute came to an end in Jiang Hexing's heart, and when he returned home, hugged his son and teased his son, Zhao Qingyi complained that he had not visited his mother-in-law since she was pregnant.
Jiang Hexing thought about it, he actually rarely went to Zhao Guang's house. Originally, it was not far away, and Zhao Li often came in the past, but later he was busy with canvas matters, and he came less. Jiang Hexing hurriedly agreed, gave himself a holiday, and went to see his mother-in-law.
It's too cold, and it's early for winter vacation here. When Jiang He arrived, Zhao Guang was directing the servants to clean up the snow in the yard, Jiang Hexing smiled and said: "Father-in-law, the first time I came to your house, you are also clearing the snow, it seems that we all have a fate with the snow." ”
Zhao Guang suddenly thought of the days in Zhangjiazhuang two years ago, looking back on the previous days and looking at the current life. The changes are beyond his imagination, he has lived a life beyond his imagination, and now it can be said that he is rich and expensive in Xianwu City. In addition, he is the principal of the school, and his identity is abnormal. He remembered the life of the refugees two years ago, he couldn't eat enough every day, he couldn't dress warmly, he couldn't pull down his face when he asked for food, he often asked for much less than others, and he still had two daughters, so he was even more frightened.
Later, he settled down in a field, and others hunted and fished and stuttered, but he couldn't, and he felt that he had no way out, and at this time, someone told him that a benefactor brought them food and clothes. However, if there are conditions, all the hair must be shaved off, the body is hairy, and the parents who receive it, how can they easily shave it, the two daughters don't know whether they are reluctant to have their hair, or they are hungry and uncomfortable, they only know how to cry. It was still his wife who was so powerful that she scolded her, and the whole family shaved off their hair, so that they could get food and clothes, and they went late, but the clothes were only women's. But all the old clothes had to be replaced with new ones, Zhao Guang wore women's clothes every day during that time, helping Zheng San do this and that, if it weren't for the two daughters counting on him, he would really be at a dead end. Shi can not be killed, he feels that he is living like a shame.
Later, I met the "benefactor" Jiang Hexing, and found that he actually had no bad intentions, and only after inquiring privately did he know that he asked him to shave off his hair for fear of getting sick, but fortunately, he also had short hair, and Zhao Guang's heart slowly calmed down.
Later, the river traveled to visit at night in the snow. Only then did he know that Jiang Hexing was actually a very good person, and his life before was completely different from here. His wife asked his daughter to marry this river, and he was very happy in his heart, but he always felt a little awkward in his heart. Fortunately, his wife was completely in charge of this matter, and he was not allowed to say no, and later Jiang Hexing married Zhao Qingyi. Only then did he know what a big backer this was, not only did he have a secure life, he no longer had to worry about being chased by someone's dog on the way to beg, and he no longer had to worry about whether there were robbers here, but Jiang Hexing actually changed from a scholar to a military general because of his request, and with dozens of people, he destroyed a country of people.
He began to rise steadily, the principal of the school, his wife opened a weaving factory, and the family had a lot of money to spend. The grandson was born again, the eldest son of the authentic grandson, not only him in the future, but also the wealth of their family will be guaranteed. Now the one in Xianwu City who was not polite when he saw him, although he was still humble and humble as before, his heart was full of pride.
Jiang Hexing saw Zhao Guang standing in the snow in a daze, and didn't let them into the house, but Zhao Qingyi was still holding the child. Jiang Hexing said loudly: "Father-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”
Zhao Guang came back to his senses and saw Jiang Hexing and Zhao Qingyi holding the child behind him, and hurriedly said, "It's cold outside, enter the house, hurry up and enter the house." ”
The interior of the house is magnificent, more luxurious than the rooms of the river line, and the furniture is not only new in style, but also in the best style and materials on the market. Jiang Hexing and Zhao Qingyi sat down, Zhao Guang had already taken Jiang Anbei over, held him in his arms, and chatted with Jiang Hexing while teasing the child.
While he was talking, there was a cool laugh outside the house, and Jiang Hexing heard that it was Zhao Li who was coming. With laughter, Zhao Li was covered in pearls, entered the house, and yelled at Zhao Guang as soon as he entered the house: "You, can you hold the child, look at how you hold it." ”
The child fell asleep and did not cry, Zhao Li snatched the child over, hugged it to his chest, and shook it back and forth. Suddenly, with a crisp cry, the child woke up, perhaps because Zhao Li's movements were too big, waking the child up. Zhao Qingyi frowned, stood up, stretched out his hands, and said to Zhao Li: "Mother, you want to rest more recently, let me hold it." ”
Zhao Li said: "Oh, Qingyi, you should rest more, how hard it is to raise children, and your heart is broken every day." You sisters and sons were even more naughty when they were young, didn't I raise you all as adults? You see that this kid just cried a little, and you were not happy. I'm better than you can coax children. ”
Although Zhao Li can coax the child, this time he is so unlucky, making countless grimaces, teasing the child repeatedly, and the child's crying is getting louder and louder, without giving her face at all. had no choice but to return the child to Zhao Qingyi, Zhao Qingyi took it and said: "This child is recognized and not allowed to be held by others." ”
The child stopped crying immediately, and looked at Zhao Qingyi with a smile on his face. Jiang Hexing looked at Zhao Li's family, and his fat face was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he asked, "Mother-in-law, why can't Qingyang see you?" Are you still busy in the cloth factory? ”
Speaking of the cloth factory, Zhao Li swept away his embarrassment, and said with his eyebrows: "Qingyang is still busy in the factory, she, she has been in the factory recently." It's cold, this canvas clothes are warm, there are many people who want it, and now many people in Handi come to buy it, and they can't be busy at all. Otherwise, you can have more looms now, so that you can make more money. By the way, where do you say anything about having a boy or a girl? ”
Jiang Hexing didn't know much either, and said honestly: "I don't know much about this, I've heard people say that sour children and spicy girls or something, that is, when you are pregnant with a boy who likes to eat sour, and when you are pregnant with a girl who likes to eat spicy, it doesn't seem to be too accurate." ”
"Accurate, sure, why not. Don't say it, I've been very fond of sour lately. In the past, when I was pregnant with Qingyi and Qingyang, I just wanted to find something spicy to eat, but now I just want to eat something sour. ”
Zhao Guang's family is looking forward to the boy, and of course Jiang Hexing will also choose some nice words to talk about.
After coming back, Jiang Hexing thought of Zhao Li's saying that the canvas had been sold to the Han land, and it would be better when there would be cotton cloth. It seems that the search for cotton seeds will be a big deal next year.
