Fuguo Railway has suddenly become the busiest businessman these days, which is all due to the gift order of the county order.

It is said that Kang Lao, who suddenly became popular, is also extremely busy, but he is shuttling between officialdom and the people, busy running around for the fire extinguishing of the Xu County order. Kang Lao's identity is special, he is a Han person, but he married a Yao family woman, a legendary love affair after two versions of the interpretation, Xinhua almost became a household name, in the eyes of the people, Kang Lao is definitely a man with affection, righteousness and responsibility, plus he has also been shaped in terms of intelligence and wisdom, and suddenly became a god-level figure worshiped by the people.

Since Kang Lao's reputation is now at its peak, Kang Lao is the son of the Han family and the son-in-law of the Yao family, who can represent both the Han and the Yao people, and now he has been authorized by the Xu County Order, which is even officially represented. Kang Lao set three representatives in one, in the year of the sixtieth year, although the ears and eyes are dazzled, still tirelessly mediate the Han Yao conflict, this sincerity is already touching, moreover, relying on Kang Lao's now famous god-level influence, so far, all parties are still buying. At present, Kang Lao is negotiating a solution with all parties, and it is said that the interests of all parties are considered, as if all parties are also considering acceptance, if this is the case, an uproar will quietly disappear.

Kang Lao is busy, very busy! So, for Xu County's gift order, Kang Lao naturally handed it over to Fuguotie, the most commercially talented Fuguo Railway, which lived up to expectations and really performed the duties of running errands and threading needles brilliantly.

In the Great Song Dynasty at this time, the production of wax paper engraving equipment can be regarded as a systematic project with all the heart and gall, and it is really difficult to arrange the national railway in an orderly manner. Mao Geng felt that if it continued like this, the fat man Fu Guo Railway fully had the potential to be a general manager.

The production of ink was distributed to the Dun family, and with the guidance of Wen Yuan, it was not difficult for the Dun family to make a living next. Together with the removal of color and taste of tea oil, the Dun family has made great gains in these two items, and is naturally the biggest beneficiary in addition to supporting the family.

Blacksmith Li Song, this came to Baixi empty-handed, relying on the family to help buy household tools to have a blacksmith shop, after Fuguo Railway's bewitchment, this blacksmith shop became a business of Fujia and Li Song's wealth, Li Song accounted for eighty percent, and Fu Jia only accounted for two percent, but only this one, Li Song could not build lettering steel plates for other families.

Fujia also invited a carpenter to make a mimeograph machine according to Mao Geng's prototype, and so far, the main link of the wax paper engraving industry chain is firmly in the hands of Fujia.

The Su family did not gain nothing, the production of chalk was distributed to the Su family, which was the unconditional support of the Su family on the day of return, but the remaining less than thirteen catties of cement in the west chamber were mixed with gypsum, and the production of chalk was very limited, and it could only barely meet the needs of the county to honor the county orders at all levels.

In any case, the gifts needed to deal with the Xu County Order are enough for the time being.

This qiē is all built by Mao Geng, but on the surface, it is arranged by Kang Lao, and the errands are carried out, and all of them are Fuguo Railway.

Such an arrangement fully embodies the principle of equal interests, in fact, the family still accounts for the majority, with the temperament of Kang Lao, of course, it is necessary to rely on Mao Geng.

Mao Geng felt that it was the most logical thing for him to be tied to the proper interests of these three families, and there was no love in the world for no reason, so it could only be said that these three families had a rare fate with him. The immediate advantage is that their own safety can be more effectively guaranteed, and in the long run, they need funds and manpower, etc., and the potential of these three must be stimulated.

Speaking of carpenters, Fuguo Xi has a candidate, is Fu Guoxi's brother-in-law, Tan Xiuzhu's second brother Tan Chengzhu, this year the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, it is a matter of course for relatives to recommend each other, Mao Geng felt that Fu Guoxi's praise should not be too bad, so he naturally accepted it gladly.

Mao Geng wanted to try to produce an upgraded version of the mimeograph machine, but also coking, Fuguo Xi really couldn't use it, and now he had money, so he decided to build a simple bamboo building nearby, and build a workshop that he could arrange with full authority.

Fuguo Tie is quite willing to play a supporting role, and immediately left three subordinates to cooperate with Mao Geng's plan, the heart hopes that Mao Geng is not wrong, this young man has a lot of Taoism, and maybe he can also bring a profitable livelihood to the family.

There is a Fugui to lead a circle, Mao Geng finally chose a place downstream of the stream, which is less than two miles away from Fuguoxi's house, standing in front of the Fujia house condescendingly can notice this place at any time, and there is something to echo each other. The stream next to Fujia joins another stream in the middle of the way, and the water flows here much more abundantly. Mao Geng chose the address of the new workshop in the section with the largest drop in the stream, in this era, water power is the best power, and there is no reason not to make good use of it.

The bamboo building designed by Mao Geng adopts an overhead design, and later generations have not gone to tourist attractions such as folk villages, and the bamboo building design of the Dai family is very distinctive, and it is borrowed from it. However, Mao Geng did not design the overhead layer so high, and it was sixty or seventy centimeters from the ground, so as to isolate the ground air, so as to avoid the need to do the ground level, and there was no need to use wood as a load-bearing member. First of all, the main bearing component is Danan bamboo, the frame is built, and then little by little, like a bamboo row, leave the door, window aisle, pave the bamboo row, cover the thatch, and build five simple bamboo houses in three days.

To build these four bamboo houses, the carpenter Tan Chengzhu's family made great efforts. In this era when nails were scarce, especially when there was no nail shooting machine, carpenters could only use tenon joints to connect and fix bamboo and wood, and skilled carpenters could use tenons and tenons to the point of superbness.

According to Mao Geng's observation, Tan Chengzhu has a special talent in this area, but seeing that he casually cut out a tenon, and then took out a tenon on another bamboo, the tenon and tenon tongue were closed, and with a snap, the two bamboo tubes were tightly connected. Tan Chengzhu's two sons are also very competitive, one is powerful, the other is skillful, the key is to be willing to endure hardships, and it seems that they can inherit their father's craftsmanship.

Fu Guoxi's family and Tan Xiuzhu's family, men, women and children, all mobilized and rushed to make wax paper. Mao Geng only demonstrated the method of making wax paper once, and Tan Xiuzhu mastered the trick, and the wax paper made by Tan Xiuzhu afterwards was even better than that made by Mao Geng.

Mao Geng sighed that the Tan brothers are all great geniuses in terms of craftsmanship.

On the fourth day, Mao Geng added another blacksmith here, this blacksmith's surname is Huang, Tan Chengzhu's wife and brother, and he is also from Anhua. Mao Geng tried, this person's skills are average, but he is better than having brute strength, and he is reliable, and the blacksmith is also a scarce talent in these years, of course Mao Geng has no reason to push it off. For the yellow blacksmith, Mao Geng's first task was to make a circular saw blade, Mao Geng's plan was to put on a hydraulic circular saw machine and a hydraulic lathe, of course, these two hydraulic machinery are only limited to dealing with bamboo and wood, but this is Mao Geng's guarantee equipment to ensure that the mimeograph machine is made into a high-quality product.

So, Mao Geng began to test the coke and began to trial produce the second generation of mimeograph machine.

After two days, Fu Jia Lao Si Fu Guogang brought two more people to help, according to Fu Guogang said, the order of wax paper engraving has increased more than 70 sets, just because the "Baixi Journal" and the revised version of the "New Chemical Journal" have been circulated, Kang Lao's deeds and the magic of wax paper engraving are also famous in these places at once, Anhua, Yiyang needless to say, even Guiyang there are keen businessmen who heard the wind and moved, ran to Xinhua directly according to the map, and found the original Ming Jiakang Lao who was praised by the academic journal for a long time, and wanted to buy this magical wax paper engraving equipment.

Kang Lao is very busy, and he doesn't care about these mundane things, naturally it is the reception of the Fuguo Railway, and the Fuguo Railway sees that someone comes to the door to buy, of course, it is necessary to sit on the ground and start the price, this time it is not an official procurement, and a commercial tax is inevitable, and the Fuguo Iron has the courage to raise the price to 12 times, but there is no buyer counteroffer, which makes the Fuguo Railway regret it greatly, and it knows how good it is to rise directly to 15 times, and make 200 less at once, and I can't help but feel a lot of pain.

If this continues, I am afraid that the next orders will never be less, so Fuguogang came to support Mao Geng, according to the meaning of Fuguotie, we must launch the second generation of high-end mimeograph machine as soon as possible, and then he can justifiably raise the price to 15 times.

However, in Mao Geng's eyes, Fuguo Steel brought this time, the good news about new orders and price increases fell second, Fuguo Steel this time, but also brought gray-black light stone samples and impermeable black charcoal, basically it can be confirmed that the gray-black light stone is antimony ore, and the impermeable black charcoal is graphite, especially graphite, which simply makes Mao Geng overjoyed.

Last time, Mao Geng handed back 80 guan to Fuguo Railway, so that Fuguo Railway paid attention, as long as these two things are now, they will be quietly purchased. In addition, a message was sent to the Don and Su families, and if the two families found these two things, they must hoard them.

Two days later, the charcoal was burned, and Mao Geng sent people to start preparations for smelting antimony and sintering pencil leads. Mao Geng himself focused on the trial production of graphite crucibles, and in addition, he made a picture to let Tan Chengzhu make hydraulic centrifugal wooden blowers, and Mao Geng decided to try crucible steelmaking.

Fu Guogang also brought the last two issues of the "New Chemical Journal" this time, Mao Geng took a look, and there was one more story of Kang Lao's deeds above, that is, he successfully mediated the Hanyao conflict. Originally, I asked Kang Lao to try mediation, but I didn't expect the effect to be so significant. Also, Kang Lao himself already has a strong aura, and the Su family, the Fu family, and the Dun family have come forward, and the government has a strong Zhuang to raise the village, and the Feng family must sing the same tune as the government, which is easy to do. At least the three families of Su, Fu, and Dun spoke on the side of Yaomin, and the Han people were more inclined to be reasonable after all, with Kang Lao, a big celebrity today, mediating in the middle, and the government took out some money to appease him, and the incident roughly calmed down.

At the same time, the "New Chemical Journal" published an article signed by Kang Lao, claiming that the existence of gold and silver mines in Xinhua was purely misinformation, but these two things were useful things, and their value should not be lower than that of carboniferous, and they should be mined by the newly established mining association, supervised by the government, and mined by guò buying. This is a move to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, originally, after the ore vein appears, it should be returned to its original face, Mao Geng thought that he ran to the Great Song Dynasty to spread rumors, and it also caused bad consequences, so he burned his face.

Kang Lao is now publicly elected as the honorary director of the Xinhua Mining and Metallurgical Association, and this mention is naturally easy to understand. Besides, without gold and silver mines, many people who are eager to do so will lose their minds. However, the veins of the two minerals have already emerged, and the Su family, the Dun family, and the Fu family all want to participate in the purchase, and the mining of antimony ore and graphite ore is no longer a problem, and the Hanyao conflict can be stopped in time.

The situation finally did not evolve into uncontrollable, but he couldn't go back to Baixi for a while, it is said that there are still people staring at this matter, Mao Geng said in his heart, whether this is a political struggle or a love rival framed, as soon as he remembered that this was also to blame, he simply didn't think about it, and was busy with his own technical work, saying that he was busy with things this time.

In fact, there are all kinds of new stories in the "New Chemical Journal", Mao Geng was busy and didn't pay attention to it.

The next day, Fuguo Railway went and returned, and brought a horse team to bring the things on Mao Geng's list. Unexpectedly, Su Zhiyan also came, and Su Zhiyan's cousin Su Zhidao also visited, and the simple Mao workshop suddenly became vibrant.
