"Master, those people said that it was best to build a reservoir, and many of the things they built needed to be driven by water power. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qiao Dayu, the leader of the craftsmen under Wang Tong, said that Wang Tong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "It's already frozen, dig a reservoir for them there!" Qiao Da also laughed and continued:

"The small one is also according to the master's statement, those few people said, this is for the long-term plan, like a few people in our workshop with a rope to pull the drill bit to drill the method of slow and not hard, the hard work can not repair the reservoir, but you can make a few cows to pull out for use, so the master here to transfer the cattle and horses over." Wang Tong nodded, and said to Sun Dahai on the side: "Don't move the cattle and horses pulled by our Huwei Army, you go to the cattle and horse market outside the city to buy some and send them over!"

After agreeing, Wang Tong asked again:

"You've been watching along here, have you learned anything?"

Qiao shook his head, and said after a deep moment:

"Don't hide it from the master, it's not a small one to say big things, we don't know these things, or some things I really didn't expect, the boring machine and drilling rig, using hydraulic power and ox horsepower, pulling the turntable layer by layer of afterburner, we also have this thing here, the mill mortar mill on the river grinding flour and mortar rice is this reason, and the grinding disc inside is also like this, but foreigners do fine work, everything has regulations, this is not the same as ours."

In this era, the external forces that can be borrowed from processing are nothing more than water, animal power and wind power, and the roots of European hydraulic machinery are actually learned from Chinese hydraulic mills.

In this era, the gap in craftsmanship is just a difference in thinking, but there is no essential gap, and there are many things that can be broken at one point.

Qiao Da said this, Wang Tong knew that Qiao Da had indeed pondered carefully, Wang Tong changed the topic and said:

"Do you remember the case where you sold material and greed?"

On that day, Qiao Da was greedy for a lot of silver in the trading of iron technology, which was exposed by Wang Tong, and told him that he would let it go if he worked hard.

Qiao Da, who escaped death, has been trembling since then, diligent and abnormal, and does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and for a long time, he has always been the leader of Wang Tong's craftsmen, and everyone slowly didn't care about that matter, but I didn't expect Wang Tong to mention it again today.

Qiao Da didn't expect it, he was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, but before he could open his mouth to defend himself, he heard Wang Tong say: "You are indeed doing things with your heart, that thing was said to be hanging at the time, and now it is a purchase and sale!"

Qiao Da hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, the panicked look on his face dissipated, but he didn't have much gratitude, what everyone had forgotten, it didn't matter if he mentioned it or not. "The sea, how much did Qiao Da take that day?" A total of two thousand two hundred taels. ↑, "Well, wait for the next branch to come ...... four thousand taels"

But when he heard Wang Tong and Sun Dahai ask a few questions, Qiao Da looked up a little confused, but heard Wang Tong say with a smile:

"You are diligent and meritorious, and the official will be rewarded, and you will go down to the sea to get four thousand taels of silver, and collect all the thoughts of these people, and learn their skills, and you will be rewarded when the time comes.

At this time, Qiao Da finally understood, four thousand taels of silver is a solid reward, the previous sin was purchased and sold, and a reward of nearly two thousand taels was added, and before he kowtowed, Wang Tong said: "Your son Qiao Qiu'an is sixteen years old this year, go to Jinyiwei or Huwei Camp to make up for the vacancy, it is easy to walk outside with an identity!" "Thank you, old man, for your great kindness, my old Qiao...... The small one is willing to die for the adults! "Don't say that you can't die, do your good work, your good days are still ahead." Wang Tong laughed and teased, and then added: "Pick more smart and clever apprentices, follow those people, whoever learns more and learns well, you will report it, there is no shortage of money and positions on the official's side." ”

Qiao Da burst into tears of excitement, the reward was okay, the change in his son's identity was what he was really grateful for, at this moment he was dead set on Wang Tong and was completely loyal.

Wang Tong just wanted to speak, but he heard someone outside report that:

"My lord, the boss of the Fanren's boat has arrived."

The captain of the armed merchant ship that had been brought to Weilai in Tianjin in Macao began to clamor to see Wang Tong after the artillerymen had been transferred.

After passing it from the guard's side of the soldiers, Wang Tong agreed to see the other party without much thought, but Wang Tong didn't want to use the few people who knew Portuguese in Tianjin Wei, and the few white people who worked in the official workshop were also very loyal, but after all, they were white, and Wang couldn't communicate.

There are so many Portuguese people who have to deal with them one by one in the future, since they have this concern, then make preparations in advance, Wang Tong sent someone to Beijing to find an interpreter who understands Portuguese, and hired him at a great price.

When he was in Beijing, Wang Tong remembered seeing white people wearing Confucian robes, who were said to be Franc priests who came from the south to the north to preach in Beijing. For thousands of years, the attitude of China towards gods and Buddhas was to worship when they met, believe it or not, there are not many religious believers in Beijing, but some poor people learn from them in order to get a better salary from these missionaries.

As Wang Tong expected, the people sent to Beijing didn't spend much effort to bring back five interpreters, but they asked the three white laborers from the craftsman's workshop, but now two of them spoke Spanish, you know, Da Ming is known as Franc machine for Portugal and Spain, there is no difference, but those people are familiar with the F6 dialect of Portugal and Spain, and there is no problem. "Master, the little one is Juan, the ship boss of the Flying Deer."

That kind of translation style with a tone has not yet appeared in this era, and the translation is completely based on the habit of speaking in the Ming Jingshi, Wang Tong finally couldn't hold back his laughter, some things are not used to it,

A stout white man bowed deeply there, compared with the East and the West in this era, the living standard of the people of the Ming Dynasty is definitely the first in the world, with good nutrition and tall height, and the height of the white man has no advantage at all. "Get on your knees!"

Wang Tong said with a smile, the interpreter standing by the door was stunned and translated the words, and after the white man Hu Tuo heard it, his eyes widened in astonishment, and then he shouted with a gesture. "Sir, Juan said that the call of their side is to bow and salute, not to kneel. The interpreter hurriedly translated, Wang Tongsun laughed, and said: "This is Da Ming, tell him to abide by the rules of Da Ming, kneel down and kowtow." ”

The interpreter didn't dare to slack off, and the advantage translated the past, and Juan's face was full of anger, Wang Tong waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Help him!" ”

What white etiquette is bowing, in Macau Wang Tong has heard Bamond say, when he sees nobles, when he sees senior priests, civilians have to kneel, even more than the etiquette of Daming, after hearing this, Wang Tong was really surprised, that film and television media, I have never mentioned this, now I think about it, but someone deliberately wants to beautify it, it seems that his own nation is rude, why is it so cheap, I really can't figure it out.

Wang Tong ordered, several of the guards here strode forward, Juan just pretended to be strong, with an angry look on his face, and saw several heavily armed soldiers approaching, hurriedly waved his hand, knelt on the ground with quick movements, and kowtowed continuously. "Say, what is the matter with this official?" "Master, he said that he hopes to leave as soon as possible, if he leaves late, he will delay the ship, and then he will be deducted by the owner, and the business will not be able to ......."

Juan kept talking, and the interpreter could keep up:

"Whatever the lord wants, as long as there is something on the ship, he will definitely help, and the people on their ship also know some good skills, they can all be taught to the lord, doesn't the lord like cannons, he can remove the cannon from the ship and sell it to the lord, and if he doesn't leave, the northern harbor will freeze :i; …… r……”

This Hu Tuo really likes to talk to himself, Wang Tong laughed out loud after listening to it, and said:

"Ask him, how much money does it take to buy this ship?"

When these words were asked, Juan's face was full of shock, obviously he didn't expect Wang Tong to ask this question, and he didn't say anything for a long time. "When he gets the money, he can let them take a cargo ship and return to Macao with the money, and then they will be happy with the money."

Wang Tong added with a smile, and when the interpreter saw that Juan still didn't reply, his voice was raised, and he hurriedly repeated Wang Tong's words again, and Juan reacted and stammered a few words. After hearing this, the interpreter's eyes widened, and he hurriedly calculated there, and said after a while: "Master forgive the sin, the boss of this boat just said a few days, but where he went, and the small one can only be calculated by heart, which is almost 45,000 taels of silver......." Before he finished speaking, he saw Juan waving his hand vigorously there, and hurriedly spoke again. Sir, he said that the ship was not his, and he had no right to sell ......."

Jingshi went to the official road to Xuanfu, looking back at the Jingshi city has not been able to see, a team of soldiers and horses marched on the official road, almost 3,000 people for a few days, the soldiers of this team are dressed in black, the queue is neat and solemn, looking quite elite, but the spirit of the soldiers is a little worse, each listless. "Damn it, looking at the New Year, what kind of training is Lao Shizi doing with war, our Longxiang Left Guard is guarding the Imperial City, what kind of Tartar are you going to fight outside the Xuanfu Pass, are you crazy!"

A military general scolded viciously, and a eunuch on the side was wrapped tightly, and then said sharply: "Don't complain about the official Deng Ying, Gonggong Chu wants to invite merit and sell it well, and it will affect our big guys, there is no place to reason, keep going!" ”
