Mao Geng didn't know how he returned to his residence that night, and when he woke up the next day, he still felt a headache, and he knew that he drank too much yesterday, and it seemed that Mao Geng's body was not a drink material. Thinking of yesterday's open-mouthed request for this and that, although Su Yuanwai didn't mind, it was obviously very abrupt and would be annoying, and he suffered a lot of losses in his previous life, so he still tried to speak as little as possible in the future.

Mao Geng felt entangled with his mouth, if he didn't drink the bar, the on-the-spot conversation would be unfavorable, and when he drank the bar, he spoke neatly, but he couldn't control his mouth, which was really a troublesome thing. Alas! I don't count on this mouth in this life.

The Baixi official school has been suspended for almost a year, and it is not possible to open in a day or two when it reopens, and according to Mr. He's estimates, it may take 20 days to determine the final number of students. Therefore, during these twenty days, Mao Geng was free to arrange a qiē.

Of course, Mao Geng wants to use this time, and the current focus is to break through, one is the design draft of the single-pendulum escapement, which is expected to be taken out in a few days, and then the auxiliary components can be designed, and there is no problem in completing the design in June. The second is to find ways to raise funds for the trial production of clocks.

But when I think about the funding, it's a bit of a headache. It is even more unrealistic to expect to burn cement to find the first pot of gold, and it must not be difficult to make cement, but the problem is that even if the sample is trial-produced, it is only to verify the formula, and it cannot solve the production problem. The simplest way to prepare cement raw meal powder can refer to the general method of crushing and milling in Jingdezhen ceramic industry, but it costs money to make water, and the blower can also be driven by water power, which also costs money. The next thing is to build a cement kiln, but it is not simple to build a cement kiln, there is no shortage of refractory materials, silica, kaolin, graphite here, but what kind of kiln type should be designed into, there is no bottom in my heart, it is always necessary to try a few more times, which also costs a lot of money.

For Mao Geng, a poor bastard, he only has less than ten yuan in his pocket, and I'm afraid he can't even make a water mill, let alone a one-stop investment!

In this way, Mao Geng is a little discouraged, and it seems that he will have to wait at least until he finds the first pot of gold to produce cement. It's hard to get started! At present, it is still serious to only save money and use up the kuài to get the clock out.

The Wang family took great care of themselves, and sent Uncle Liu to call himself and Wen Yuan to the East Chamber for breakfast, and it could be seen that when they came to the south from Shandong, the staple food was changed from pasta to rice, and the Wang family was not used to it for a while.

Mao Geng's most unaccustomed thing is to eat only two meals a day, such a eating habit is really unbearable, the most unscientific thing is that two meals are actually more than three meals, originally thought that a soldier in the Great Song Army ate two liters and a half of rice a day is Mr. Jiang's fool, but after asking Zhang Haisan, and Mr. Wang's testimony, Mao Geng believed that people did eat a lot at this time. And I feel hungry when I eat two meals more, and I eat more at the second meal.

In order to save food, you have to eat three meals. Of course, the lack of oil and water is also a reason to eat more to be full, I don't know if after saving rice money and more oil money, it will cost more money to eat. In short, it seems that he has to come up with the lame cooking skills of his previous life, and he has to be careful during this time, until he makes a big clock and sells well, so that he can enjoy the ** life of the rich people in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the opposite room, Wen Yuan and Zhang Haisan were chatting. Luo Qi returned to the county seat yesterday, Zhang Haisan's mission is not over yet, and he has to wait until the Wang family, himself and Wen Yuan's field in Youxi is implemented, and then he can return to the county seat.

Mao Geng used a duck quill pen to draw on paper, the duck quill dipped in ink to draw the lines are too thick, accidentally leaking a ball of ink, so that Mao Geng is particularly nostalgic for the pencil of later generations - when he was a child, he felt a little sweet when he bit the pencil, and he was the absolute protagonist of the pencil singing all the way to college drawing. There is no pen in hand, it is really not powerful, especially when you need to get a precise configuration design according to the work on the drawing, the more you have such a sense of powerlessness.

As soon as he was distracted, the sound of chatting on the other side came into his ears clearly, Zhang Haisan was saying that in fact, gypsum was not difficult to find, he could also help find it, and if he needed charcoal, he could also find him.

Mao Geng thought that it would be great if Zhang Haisan could help find graphite, as long as he had graphite, he could make pencils. In my previous life, before I got involved in the graphite industry, I always mistakenly thought that the reason why pencils are called pencils, as the name suggests, is of course made of lead, but after understanding graphite, I realized that the original pencil and metal lead actually have no relationship with half a dime. The main raw material of the pencil is graphite, and the auxiliary raw material is clay and antimony. With graphite, mixed with clay, after sintering, you can get a pencil lead, of course, it is best to have antimony in the pencil, after having antimony, the quality of the pencil can be upgraded to a higher level.

Antimony! SB Ahh

In short, antimony is really a good thing, and it is best to find antimony ore, which is said to have appeared in the mountains around the Lengshui River for a long time, and the locals did not know the use of this shiny stone with a gray luster, so they simply ignored it. It was not until 1543 in the Ming Dynasty that it was used as tin ore to smelt tin, and of course tin was not refined, so people called the refined antimony liantin.

Presumably, it would be good to move the masses to go to the Lengshui River to sweep the mountains to find antimony ore, and then follow the vine to find the famous "tin mine" antimony mine. However, he has no appeal at all, it would be good if he was Xu County's order, or if he was a member of Su Yuan, it would be fine.

Mao Geng pondered for this, and it was really difficult to think of a way to get rich quickly for a while. Let's talk about digging coal, there is coal underground in one-third of the area of Xinhua, and half of the area in the Lengshui River area has coal underground, and you can hit the coal seam by digging casually, but even if you instruct others to dig out the coal, it will not benefit you much, just because everyone knows how to use the value of coal, and it is not your turn to benefit from it.

So thinking about it, one is antimony ore and the other is graphite, and you have to do everything possible to get these two minerals. Others get these two things for limited use, and after you get them, it's a completely different matter.

In order to get two kinds of things, taking the mass line is the only reliable way, and in the fifties and sixties of later generations, the masses have received many important clues for mineral prospecting, and in this era when the mineral development is at a very low level, it is only necessary to popularize a little mineral knowledge, and the mineral clues will roll in. But, alas! I have neither appeal nor coercive means, let alone a heavy reward, so I have to think of another way.

Suddenly, the flash of inspiration in his mind, Mao Geng patted his head, and thought of the fishing kung fu he was good at in his previous life. Right! We also have long skills, we don't have other skills, but bait fishing is a master here. Speaking of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are also successful cases there, one is that Zhang Haisan released the bait, and he caught more than 100 reformed people to Xinhua, and the other is that the most difficult to fish Wang Laofuzi's family also obediently ate their own bait, and now they are on the opposite door.

Mao Geng carefully sorted out his thoughts, and then listed them one by one, and finally Mao Geng decided to make up a fascinating story, once this story spreads, it will be killed from far and near, and all kinds of fish and turtles are afraid that they will see bait and fish.

Mao Geng spent most of the hour conceiving and writing this story, and then, Mao Geng decided to try the effect at Zhang Haisan first.

Zhang Haisan was solemnly invited by Mao Geng to sit down in the hall, Wen Yuan also sat down, and then Mao Geng said slowly:

"Brother Zhang, I have been with my brother Tai for many days, my brother Tai is warm-hearted, and I have taken care of --- and cousin Wen Yuan in Xia, I really don't know how to thank --- that."

Zhang Hai waved his hand three times and said:

"Brother Mao, where did you say, you and I are fellow villagers, and we are a little thin below, so why worry about it."

Mao Geng said:

"I heard that Brother Zhang will go to the side to recruit reformers in a few days, and he will be away for several months a year, so I'm afraid it will have to be like this next year."

"This is the messenger below, this time the two brothers will settle down, and then they will be at home for a few days, and they will rush to Xiangyang. Hehe, there's no way around it. ”

Mao Geng sighed and said:

"Brother Zhang is really hard, but it's a pity that I can't replace --- next one."

Mao Geng then changed his words:

"But there is one thing to say, maybe Brother Zhang only needs to stay in Xinhua ---, at most he only needs to go to Changsha, instead of having to travel a long distance to recruit --- that side road. When Brother Zhang arrives, he only needs to sit at home, and there will be --- Han people from all over the country who have flocked to Xinhua, and --- who have returned thousands of miles away will also come to Xinhua. ”

As soon as Mao Geng's words came out, Zhang Haisan shook his head:

"Brother Mao, let's laugh, that's such a good thing! Alas! In recent years, except for the sporadic Han people who have moved from Jiangxi, very few people have come to Xinhua to settle down. When people in the world talk about Xinhua, it is nothing more than a poor mountain and a bad water, and if you want to say that you come here, hehe, it is really a joke. ”

Mao Geng smiled:

"That's the reputation it has now, well, it's --- that's a little bit worse. However, after the next incident --- that one gets out, that's another matter. ”

"Oh."

"Brother Zhang, do you know that there is a master below?" , Mao Geng's nirvana when he came to the Southern Song Dynasty is to move out of his legendary magical master at any time, and this trick is simply true.

"Hmm." , Zhang Haisan nodded, of course he knew this.

Seeing this, the foreshadowing has been done, and Mao Geng began to enter the main topic of the story:

"The lower master once talked about one thing--- that secret." , As soon as the word Mixin was mentioned, Mao Geng's tone dropped several degrees, which made Zhang Haisan listen more attentively, and Wen Yuan on the side didn't know what kind of Mixin his brother was going to talk about, so he was naturally concentrating.

"This secret involves a master of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the master under him has some relationship with this master of the Sui and Tang dynasties, so he found out some secrets. Tang Taizong's first wise general Li Jing, presumably Brother Zhang knows, this master is Li Jing's --- sworn brother, this master's chivalrous name is Qiu Bearded Ke, back then, the bearded guest, Li Jing, and the Red Whisk Girl swore worship, known as the --- the three heroes of the wind and dust, and they are a generation of heroes and heroes. It's just that later Li Jing followed Tang Taizong to establish the Tang Dynasty, and there was a disagreement between the bearded guest and Li Jing about this, but the bearded guest valued brotherhood, although he did not want to assist the Tang Dynasty, but he also did not want to be the enemy of Li Jing, so he chose to live in seclusion, and then he simply led a group of disciples to sail out to sea, to a distant island on the sea, with the help of benevolence and righteousness to subdue the local natives, self-established as the king, his country is very rich, and is not lost to the Tang Dynasty. It's just that after the establishment of the country, it has been passed down for more than ten generations, but it has encountered an earth-shattering change, and the overseas country has died out mysteriously. Just left some scattered accounts --- that one. ”

The story of the bearded guest is a popular theme in romance novels, Mao Geng is familiar with it, and he has edited it with words, so it is told very smoothly. Looking at that Zhang Haisan nodding frequently, maybe the comments at this time also involve the story of Li Jing, anyway, it seems that it has already had an effect.

Mao Geng continued:

"In the lower master's sect, I have obtained some scattered records of the bearded guest, which records that the bearded guest once lived in seclusion in a huge hole in the area of Zishui, and the record says that there is a section of the river in the seclusion that is extremely cold, and even the surrounding well water is cold."

When Zhang Haisan heard this, he immediately said:

"The local Lianxi is like this, the well water is very cold, and the river water in the section of the Lianxi River is also cold. Could it be that the master lived in seclusion here? ”

Mao Gengxin said that this is what we are talking about, but he said:

"Oh, maybe it's right here. It seems that the uncle in the lower part of the country came to Jinghu South Road back then, and he also had the meaning of looking for the place where the bearded guest lived in seclusion. ”

Seeing Zhang Haisan's sudden realization, Mao Geng immediately threw out the ultimate fishing bait:

"The record of the bearded guest says that there is a gray-black light stone here, and there is a greasy black carbon, which does not burn, and no matter how you burn it, it will still be black. According to the record of the bearded guest, it was only when he found these two things that he could go overseas to establish a country. The master and the uncle pondered repeatedly, and finally speculated that perhaps the bearded man deliberately remembered vaguely, and it was very likely that this involved a huge gold mine, and if you find the stone of light, or find the black charcoal that can't be burned through the ---, you may be able to find this --- that huge gold mine. ”

(Note: Song Sheng is O.6641 liters, the specific gravity of rice is about O.8 kg/L, and two and a half liters of rice in the Song Dynasty are about equivalent to two and a half catties of rice today.) ）;
