Listening to Mao Geng's tone, he should have been a little moved, and he didn't force his mother-in-law at the moment, but changed the topic:
"It's funny, the Fujia also had the idea of recruiting Brother Mao as a son-in-law, but the old body objected, so the Fujia didn't come to join in the fun. Kang Lang and I are Han Yao intermarriage, in the eyes of the clansmen we are not happy, to tell the truth that the Yao family women marry Han people, there are not many good lives, I say so, this matter will be stopped. Now it seems that the old body has done the right thing, although the daughter of the Fu family is also beautiful, but compared with the Su family's Zhiyan sister, it is very inferior. ”
When Mao Geng heard this, he couldn't imagine that this mother-in-law also loved gossip, and said that there was nothing like that between himself and Su Zhiyan so far, and it was clear that Wen Yuan's guy was chewing the root of his tongue, so he had to smile bitterly and said:
"Mother-in-law, Xiao Ke has only met Su Zhiyan --- that one, and it has nothing to do with that --- that."
Helping Granny to continue to promote the spirit of gossip:
"Little Brother Mao, our Yao family doesn't have so many rules, what kind of female commandments such as men and women don't kiss, the Yao family doesn't have so many exquisiteness! If you like it, you like it, if Brother Mao likes Su Zhiyan, he will go to talk to you for you, with Brother Mao'er's talent, the Su family must be willing. ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Mao Geng looked hesitant, he sighed again and said gloomily:
"Alas! A man from the Han family who studies like Brother Mao naturally wants to gain fame. Worried that marrying a barbarian woman will ruin his career, this old body can understand better than others, when Kang Lang was disappointed, the Kang family was to blame me, in fact, I don't want to delay Kang Lang. ”
Mao Gengxin said that there was a political trial in the Song Dynasty! And the political trial is actually very strict! Does marrying a Yao family woman mean that the government is not innocent! I have a lot of questions in my heart, but I can't ask, in short, this Mr. Kang and Granny Fu should have suffered all kinds of blows. But the mother-in-law said that she was obviously infatuated with Su Zhiyan, but she was afraid of wolves and tigers, and she was worried that she would miss her future, so she hesitated here. What a match!
Stop! That's the end of the gossip topic.
Mao Geng hurriedly changed the topic:
"Supporting my mother-in-law, I don't know what kind of industry I have to help my family? Xiao Ke may be able to come up with ideas, but he always needs to know something about --- helping his family before he can come up with a way to deal with it. Since there are only two people talking, Mao Geng tries his best to control the language, and after thinking clearly and then speaking, the speech naturally seems much smoother.
When the mother-in-law heard this, Mao Geng clearly meant to help the family, so he gave a general idea of the livelihood of the family.
Originally, the Fujia family has always been to collect medicinal materials for the industry, the Fujia family is distributed in Xinhua and the surrounding areas, and most of them live in the mountainous areas, where the mountains are rich in various medicinal materials, and the Fujia family is engaged in collecting medicines. Although the sale to the sale is only crude medicinal materials, the selling price is not high, but the advantage is large, the profit is not bad, the family family relies on this livelihood support, and their family business in Xinhua is also ranked first.
In order to deal in medicinal materials, there is also a horse gang under the family, probably because each family in the family will raise some horses, and when they go out to sell medicinal materials, they will form a horse team and go together. Mao Geng thought to himself, this family is also self-operated in the logistics industry! The Naton family also has a horse team, and it seems that the Su family's horse team is still quite large. What is puzzling is that if Xinhua wants to engage in logistics here, water transportation should be the right choice. However, Mao Geng just had yy in his heart and did not say his doubts.
This family ran the pharmaceutical industry very well, but the eldest brother of the mother-in-law, Fu Guojin, had the mind to keep pace with the times, and his mind was hot, so he took over an iron smelting kiln the year before last, and spent a lot of money, but lost a lot. Mao Geng asked, only to learn that this iron-making kiln was burned charcoal to make iron, after the layman of Fuguojin took over, he listened to the noise, so he switched to coal to make iron, and the quality of the pig iron smelted was not as good as before, and the result was a lot of losses, and even the four younger brothers who participated in the national bank, national steel, national railway, and national copper were also compensated. Only the sixth brother Guoxi stocked ash worms in the mountains outside the Xinhua region, and did the business of harvesting ash to make a living, so that he escaped this catastrophe.
After nearly two years of tossing and turning, the family resumed making iron with charcoal, and although the quality improved greatly, it could no longer reach the quality of the pig iron smelted before taking over. Nowadays, the price of pig iron smelted in the Fujia iron kiln is still not sold at a good price, so in addition to the government collecting 20% of the pig iron as a tax, it can be said that there is little profit. In this way, the Fujia iron kiln is almost a chicken rib, it is a pity to abandon it, and it is tasteless to chew.
After seeing the miniature cement kiln made by Mao Geng, she told Mr. Kang about it, and Mr. Kang was a scholar after all, and immediately thought that maybe Mao Geng could help the family.
That mother-in-law practiced martial arts when she was young, so she was still deaf and clear at the age of nearly sixty, and she quietly paid attention to it these days, and Mao Wen and the others did not fall behind in any of their teachers and secrets. After witnessing the mud turning into stones and peeping at Mao Geng's teaching with blackboard chalk, Granny Fu made up her mind and came to Mao Geng to help her family.
After listening to the introduction of the mother-in-law, Mao Gengxin said, this mother-in-law is really a person with a heart! I don't know if it's because the Baixi official school is too dull, this mother-in-law is driven by the strong gossip heart, and she has never let go of the words and deeds of the boys and girls in the Baixi official school, what a professional paparazzi spirit it takes to do this! Has this mother-in-law practiced the best light work! Why didn't I realize anything before! It's a pity that I still think that I have done a good job of secrecy, alas! In front of a master like Mother-in-law, the little bit of Taoism that he relies on can only make him have nothing to hide!
The reason is very simple, coal has high sulfur content, charcoal does not contain sulfur, and the pig iron smelted from coal has too high sulfur content, not only pores, but also brittle, which is naturally not as good as charcoal ironmaking. The solution is to use coke to make iron, and of course coking has to be tested. In addition, pig iron smelting is weak, do you want to consider steelmaking!
Mao Geng grasped the first-hand information, and when the matter was settled, his confidence rose, so he said confidently:
"Xiao Ke Shizun once passed me on the method of iron smelting, the matter of iron smelting --- that is easy to say, wait for Xiao Ke to think of the charter, and then discuss it with Granny Fu?"
Mao Geng remembered that he had suffered many losses in business negotiations in his previous life, and this matter had to be negotiated by the iron-skinned Wen Yuan, well, it was good for Wen Yuan to be an agent.
The mother-in-law was greatly satisfied when she heard this, nodded, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when she suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Brother Mao, what you and Little Brother Wen told the woman of the Dun family about the gold and silver mines, is there really such a thing?"
Mao Geng has long known that he will ask this question, and there is no ambiguity at the moment:
"This is the family teacher's speculation based on the scattered records of ---, and Xiao Ke feels that it is definitely not groundless. As long as you can find the gray-black --- the light stone, this is most likely true. ”
Mao Geng's tone was very affirmative, but his words left room for words, I don't know if Granny Fu and Mr. Kang will believe it. But this is supposed to be as long as there is this rumor, and it doesn't matter if the two of them believe it or not.
Helping her mother-in-law slightly bowed, she seemed to feel that there was something wrong with suspecting Mao Geng's clever master, so she stopped dwelling on this matter. Mao Geng understands that people are old and refined, and Mr. Kang is only afraid that he may not be so easy to fool.
Fu Po Fu said another thing:
"Whether it's the old body, or you Kangbo, they are all optimistic about you, so the Fujia family sent the disciples of Baixi Guanxue this time, I am afraid that there are as many as twenty people, and the old body asks Brother Mao to take care of the children of the Fujia family when the time comes. Okay? ”
Mao Geng was a little stunned when he heard this, the Fu family is going to come 2o, then there are the Su family, the Dun family, the Feng family, etc., wouldn't it add up to more than 100! This was really unexpected. According to Mr. He, in previous years, there were more than 20 students in Baixi Official School, and this year I am afraid there will not be much.
"So much?!" , the numbers are indeed a bit shocking, when did the Yao people love reading so much!
Granny Fu smiled:
"I heard that there will be no shortage of people from other families, and your method of writing white letters on the blackboard will come in handy at that time."
After helping her mother-in-law leave, Mao Geng was a little stunned for a while. This time it was a joy and a worry, and the joy was that people took the initiative to come to the door to seek cooperation, which is a good sign. The worry is that this time I may become the main force of Baixi official school, if a hundred people come, the pressure of teaching will increase sharply, but how is this good!
This night, Mao Geng couldn't sleep all night.
In the first half of the night, I was thinking about what kind of conditions I had to offer in order to cooperate with the Fujia.
In the second half of the night, I thought that I was going to face a hundred students, and I couldn't do without a basic sense of responsibility! To deal with more than 20 students, arithmetic is not the focus, and there is no need to compile textbooks, but for hundreds of students, they have to write textbooks. However, it was categorically too late to print, and it was by no means an easy task to copy more than 100 textbooks.
When it came to the third watch, I fell asleep in a daze. But when there was something in his heart, he couldn't sleep well, and he woke up early in the morning.
Suddenly remembered that Granny Fu talked about white wax, there is! How to forget about wax paper printing! It doesn't matter if there is no lead print, wax paper engraving is necessary to make it, this wax paper engraving cost is low, quick response, once it is made, it will become a sharp weapon to kill all sides in the Song Dynasty.
It is said that this wax paper engraving was used by the underground party of later generations, the Red Guards, the teachers, the cadres, the educated youth, and the literary youth------, and before the 90s, it was the supreme weapon of home travel, murder and arson.
In fact, even if you find antimony ore to smelt antimony, you have to carve out a template to cast a lead character, and then make a printing ink and printing press, which is not a short road. Wax paper engraving, on the other hand, is very simple to achieve.
Even in the 80s of the twentieth century, when computer printing was far from popular, a large number of examination papers were still due to wax paper printing. Mao Geng's previous life carved a lot of wax paper, haha, wax paper engraving has no technical content, in the Song Dynasty, this can be had.
Mao Geng felt that after having wax paper, in addition to using wax paper to engrave and print teaching materials, he also expanded a huge space for himself.
In Mao Geng's mind, there is a gradually clear idea in the bud and taking shape. My eloquence is limited, even if I practice hard, I can't practice to the point where my mouth is like a river, at most it's not bad, but I've read countless novels, and I can't write and copy it, well, don't say it so badly, it's good to edit! Think about the Chinese people of later generations, basically, every man has a Jin Yong version of the martial arts dream, and every woman has a Qiong Yao version of the love dream, which is all misled by the black letters printed on the paper.
In this day and age, fiction is still a delicate sprout, and readability is not worth mentioning. A girl like Su Zhiyan, once she reads the story of Aunt Qiong Yao's style, I believe that she will not be immune.
