Pang Shanmin calculated, although a little stone into gold can be profitable, but with the manpower and material resources of today's workshop, it is best to specialize in the two new things of looms and waterwheels, and spend the middle of winter to spring ploughing.

So in his spare time, Pang Shanmin took his two wives and Huang Yueying together to inspect the place where the waterwheel was built, and Pang Shanmin thought that although the waterwheel was used for the people to draw water for irrigation, the burden of making the waterwheel should not be spread on the people's heads, after all, the people's fields were still the things of the Son of Heaven who lived in Xudu in name.

Although the people don't know what the waterwheel is, they know that the general Jingxiang has no big official shelf, and he has a big turn in the villages outside Changsha, and eats and stays with the villagers in the same village.

Pang Shanmin learned that after the reputation of "loving the people like a son" came out, he was also a little crying and laughing, in fact, he couldn't even distinguish between wheat and rice, and asked the villagers to increase their knowledge, so as not to be thought by others that they were seven-foot men, and their bodies were not diligent, and their grains were not divided.

It was a bonus.

At the same time, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but sigh secretly, the requirements of the people in the late Han Dynasty were really simple, clothes to cover the body, food to eat, plus a grass house, which was all their needs, and the people worked endlessly, just to stock up on some surplus grain after paying the tax burden, to deal with the famine year, Jingxiang was not a heavy tax burden, this time to observe the people's feelings, Pang Shanmin even wanted to exempt the people's taxes.

It's just that this matter is just thinking about it, power and obligation are relative, Pang Shanmin does not want the original hard-working and kind people, while losing their obligations, become gradually lazy, Pang Shanmin knows in his heart, if the spring ploughing in the coming year, the application of waterwheels, and between the families, after the promotion of looms, the life of the people of Jingxiang is afraid to face an earth-shaking change.

Although it is not as powerful as the budding capitalism, after all, the improvement of science and technology has created more surplus value, the people have surplus wealth in their homes, and the application of equipment has caused more people to have leisure time.

And this change can also attract the population of the north and Jiangdong, the population is the basis of the conquest in the troubled times, Pang Shanmin has made up his mind to destroy the foundation of his princes, this is a dignified conspiracy, as for Cao Cao, Sun Quan and the two will have a headache, it is not in his consideration.

On the carriage, Diao Chan and Sun Shangxiang saw Pang Shanmin's smile becoming more and more weird, both of them were a little helpless, since they inspected the farmland around Changsha, this strange smile often appeared on Pang Shanmin's face.

"Why is the husband smiling?" Diao Chan has endured several times without asking questions, but Pang Shanmin has laughed repeatedly, Diao Chan is curious, and said to Pang Shanmin: "The husband has laughed all the way, and the concubine also wants to know what makes the husband so happy." ”

Pang Shanmin coughed lightly and did not answer, but Sun Shangxiang couldn't hold it back, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Tell me and listen!" ”

After that, the female tiger also raised her white fist, which caused Pang Shanmin to laugh even more.

"If you say it all, it's too cumbersome, to put it simply, it is to think of Jingzhou's great governance in the coming year, and I feel comforted in my heart, so I laugh heartily." Pang Shanmin said, the second daughter was ignorant, but Huang Yueying nodded and responded: "If the waterwheel is effective, only Changsha alone, you can reclaim thousands of acres of fertile land and collect more than 10,000 stones!" ”

Huang Yueying said, Sun Shangxiang didn't know why, Diao Chan was shocked, in the past when Xuzhou was in Jingxiang, Diao Chan also lived a hungry and cold life, for food, Diao Chan's heart is still very heavy, Wanshi grain and grass, or only one county in Changsha, if the waterwheel is popularized in Jingnan four counties, or even the entire Jingxiang, how much grain will be increased?

Diao Chan came back to her senses, bowed in front of Huang Yueying, and said to Huang Yueying: "Sister wizard, there are countless people living in this waterwheel, and the concubine has thanked my sister on behalf of her husband." ”

When Huang Yueying heard this, her pretty face was slightly red, Pang Shanmin nodded, glanced at Huang Yueying approvingly, and said: "What my wife said is exactly what Sister Yueying said, the waterwheel built by Sister Yueying, there are countless living people, and the merit is in the future, I don't know if Sister Yueying wants to be a general, what will be rewarded?" ”

Pang Shanmin looked like he was in trouble, which attracted the three girls in the car, all of them laughed, Pang Shanmin didn't think it was wrong, anyway, now he is also familiar with Huang Yueying, and the three women in the car all know that he is a general, a general who eats and lives with craftsmen all day long, throughout the ages, I am afraid that this is the only one.

Huang Yueying shook her head and smiled at Pang Shanmin: "It's just that when you are thinking about it in your spare time, you don't want to pay so much attention to the occasional thing." ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It is estimated that Yueying's sister can't look down on Pang Mou's reward, anyway, soon, my sister will become the state pastor's wife, before returning to Jingxiang this time, Kong Ming Yu Yizhou also urged Pang Mou, in the coming year, he will make Xiaozhi temporarily act as the state pastor, and go home to marry a wife......

When Huang Yueying heard this, her cheeks were red, but Sun Shangxiang glanced at Pang Shanmin, and said to Pang Shanmin: "You don't know, Yueying's sister has a tender face, how can she talk so frivolously?" ”

"It was originally ......" Pang Shanmin said with a smile: "Pang Mou is not frivolous, but the truth, but it is also time to let Kong Ming come back and get married as soon as possible, otherwise he and Chengdu will think about it day and night, and it will delay government affairs." ”

Pang Shanmin said, Sun Shangxiang was speechless for a while, and Huang Yueying didn't know how to deal with it, Diao Chan scolded with a smile: "It's such a big person, there is no shape, and I don't know how to be ashamed." ”

Pang Shanmin laughed when he heard this, but Diao Chan smiled and said to Pang Shanmin: "By the way, on the occasion of Yueying's sister's wedding, has your husband ever thought about what gift to prepare?" ”

Pang Shanmin nodded and said, "The gift has already been prepared, and it is a high-ranking official in Kong Ming's place, but there is another surprise for Yueying's sister." ”

"What a surprise?" Sun Shangxiang said anxiously when he heard this: "Let's let everyone listen to it, see if everyone is surprised, happy or not!" ”

"It's boring to say it earlier, anyway, it was given by Pang, how can it be a vulgar thing, when will Kong Ming marry Yueying, and when will this gift be given by Pang." Pang Shanmin said quite complacently: "Pang has always been generous to his brothers and sisters, Pang can reveal a little, if this thing is in the hands of Yueying's sister, it should not be inferior to Pang Mou's stone into gold!" ”
