Chapter 48 The wisdom of the masses is infinite

Early the next morning, Wang Dalun braved the flying snowflakes to rush home, Wang Dalun shrank in the carriage, stomped his feet in the cold, and said to Wang Erzhu while stomping his feet: "Close the curtain, don't let the wind blow in." ”

Wang Erzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said angrily: "Young master, how many times have you said it, my ears are about to become calluses!" Besides, are you really that cold? Do you bake the fire and say it's cold? ”

"Don't you look at it, this stove is so big, it's no wonder it's not cold!" Wang Dalun said tremblingly.

"Young master, come out and see the snow scene, it's beautiful!" Sun Liu shouted on his horse.

"Get out! You herds, do you think I'm not afraid of the cold, just like you? Wang Dalun stretched his head out of the window and scolded.

"Ha Luha, young master, you get used to being cold, when we were in the grassland, it was called cold, and the snow could not reach people's calves. It's you, you've frozen into an iceman! Hahaha! Sun Liuda said with a smile.

Wang Dalun hurt his self-esteem, ignored Sun Liu, shrank his head again, and then trembled in the car.

After a while, Sun Liu came to the car, patted the window, and said, "Young master, do you want to have a drink to warm up?" ”

Wang Dalun, who couldn't stand the cold, took the wine, took a sip and threw it back to Sun Liu, saying, "I'm bah! Do you still drink this bad wine? It's hard to drink! ”

"Ha Luha, young master, I don't drink this, what do you drink? I'd like to try the good wine you said, but I didn't see you make it! Sun Liu took a sip of wine and said.

"Wait, it should be soon!" Wang Dalun's head retracted again, Wang Dalun, who felt that his self-esteem had been hurt, said ruthlessly in his heart: "When I go back, I will make inventions, I must have high-level wine, four-wheeled carriages, and down jackets!" ”

When he got home and took a bath, Wang Dalun sneezed and said: "There must be a bath, I want to build a big bath, let the water flow in by itself, and people can take a comfortable bath!" Ahh ”

It has always been Wang Dalun's advantage to do what he says, and he immediately contacted the system and prepared to buy a full set of bathroom equipment from the system.

"Nope!" The system replied dryly.

"How could it not be? Can't I pay a high price? Wang Dalun said urgently.

"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, it's because I didn't have this feature in the first place. As for you, when you are here to travel? Do you want a plane, or a car? The system reprimanded with a very stinky fart.

"So, you can always buy cement, right?" Wang Dalun asked weakly.

"That's no problem, ask someone else to do it, don't bother me with such simple things!" The system said impatiently.

Wang Dalun, who was sprayed with a gray face by the system, had to find Wu Liang and ask him to invite someone to make the bath. So for other equipment, Wang Dalun thought of the group of precious craftsmen, I haven't seen their work for a long time, and I don't know how they are doing.

Wang Dalun walked into the armory workshop, only to see Master Gan and others were busy, Wang Dalun hurriedly said: "Masters, stop, I have something to tell you!" ”

I saw Master Gan say without looking back: "Keep knocking, don't stop!" Young master, wait for us in a quarter of an hour, this piece of iron is almost ready! ”

Wang Dalun didn't urge when he heard this, but watched Master Gan and others striking iron there with great interest. After the beaten iron was thrown into the water, Master Gan came over to apologize and said, "Don't blame the young master, it was a critical moment just now, and if you delay this piece of iron, it will be scrapped!" ”

"It's okay!" Wang Dalun waved his hand and said, "I'll be an idler, it's okay to wait." ”

"I don't know what happened to you, young master?" Master Gan asked.

"I'm here to ask you if you can make a few pipes that can be connected to that, and I'm going to build a bath where the water will flow directly from the place where the water is boiled." Wang Dalun asked.

"Young master, if it's just to draw hot water, I recommend not using iron pipes, one reason is bulky, and the other is that the seal is not good. I suggest that you use a bamboo pipe, use a good bamboo to open the middle, and then connect it, so that people will not be burned. ”

"Well, that's a good suggestion! Then I also want to make a water tank and bring the water up, so that people can stand under it and bathe, can you do that? Wang Dalun put forward a new request.

"This, I want to think about it..." Master Gan fell into deep thought.

A man on the side said, "We can pump water to it with a device like a cylinder that draws water from a well, and we just need to modify it and seal it." ”

Master Gan patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of it, just do it." ”

When Wang Dalun heard this, this simple bathroom was basically formed, he felt very happy, and hurriedly asked: "I feel that the room is very cold, and it is almost the same on the kang, but other places are far behind, what can you do about it?" ”

"It's very simple, it's okay to build two fire dragons underground, many big officials in the capital do this at home, and some of them are built in the corridor." Master Gan immediately picked up the guest and replied.

"Fire dragon? Like a kang, keep warm by burning a fire? Wang Dalun confirmed.

That's pretty much what it means! But this thing is very firewood-intensive, and it won't be done by a big family! Master Gan replied.

"Steward Wu!" Wang Dalun shouted.

"Coming, coming, young master, what do you command?" Wu Liang came in and asked.

"Why didn't you make a fire dragon at that time?" Wang Dalun asked angrily.

"Young master, you don't know how to do it, this thing is useless, and it costs a lot of firewood!" Wu Liang said aggrievedly.

"Okay, don't talk about it, tomorrow you will hire someone for me, and transform the living room and bedroom into a fire dragon for me, do you know the way? We are not short of that money now, we can't be turtles, we have to keep pace with the times, do we know the Tao? Wang Dalun taught.

"But young master, if it is installed, the supply of firewood every day will be insufficient!" Wu Liang said with a crying face.

"Use coal, there is a lot of coal here in Shanxi, what kind of firewood do you use? The trees are cut down, and everyone eats sand! Wang Dalun taught.

Wu Lianggang wanted to say that coal is very expensive, and he can't stand this freight alone, but after thinking about it, forget it, this master is not a bad money lord, and he can toss as much as he likes.

After instructing Wu Liang, Wang Dalun asked, "I haven't come to see you for a long time, have you built the blast furnace you helped build?" Can you steam out the wine? ”

"I was about to tell you the young master, after our continuous attempts, we can now steam out wine, but this wine can't be drunk at all, it smells like nose, we used a dog for experiments, but the dog not only can't see, but also died after an hour!"

Poor dog, is this alcohol to be drunk indiscriminately? Wang Dalun mourned for the dog for a moment.

"That's alcohol, you can't drink it. Did you document the protocol? Wang Dalun asked with concern.

"It's recorded!"

"Well, remember, every experiment in the future must be recorded, and what is made cannot be tested by humans, but by animals first." Wang Dalun explained uneasily.

"Boss, you punish us, after making it for so long, we still made something that we can't drink." Master Gan said guiltily.

"Whoever is going to punish you, on the contrary I will reward you, you know that alcohol is of great use to me, and I thank you." Wang Dalun said loudly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, as long as the young master doesn't blame us!" Master Gan said embarrassedly.

"Yes, yes, Steward Wu, remember, each master will give me a reward of ten taels of silver." Wang Dalun commanded.

"I know it, I'll let someone send it later." Wu Liang nodded.

"Young Master Xie Lu, Young Master Xie Xie!" The masters hurriedly thanked.

"Oh, by the way, in fact, the wine made in this way can be drunk, it seems to have something to do with the steaming time and firepower, you try it more, reduce the time and firepower a little, I believe you can succeed."

Wang Dalun had no choice but to tell him so, firstly, he didn't know much about it, and secondly, there was no thermometer and instrument to measure the degree of wine, so he could only let everyone come step by step.

"Oh, by the way, young master, now that the output of our armory workshop has increased, we can now shoot a hundred knives a month." Master Gan suddenly remembered and reported.

"Oh, you're a lot more efficient, yes, keep up the good work!" Wang Dalun praised.

"Hehe, it's not like you have to be reminded by the young master, now we are each responsible for a process, so the speed is faster." Master Gan hurriedly said.

Oh, even the assembly line production has been sorted out by them, it seems that the wisdom of the people is infinite, the key is that as long as someone points out, it can be produced.

Wang Dalun, who was in a good mood, hurriedly called Wu Liang again, and asked him to give each another five taels of silver, and when he heard that the reward was added again, the master was all elated, and the owner was a good man, and the income of working here for one year was higher than that of working in the Ministry of Industry for ten years.

Wang Dalun saw that the other masters were all elated, but Liu Dahai was the only one who was sullen there, so he went over and patted Liu Dahai and said: "Master Liu, don't worry, you also have a share, where is it so easy to make a fire gun, don't worry, I don't blame you!" ”

"Less... Master, I made it! Liu Dahai said nervously.

"Don't worry, don't worry. What the? Did you make it? It's true? Wang Dalun didn't hear it clearly, and thought that Liu Dahai said that he couldn't make it, but after a while, he reacted.

"Really, young master, I made it, but, but..." Liu Dahai said slowly.

"But what?" Wang Dalun asked with concern.

"But the young master, I used up all the silver you gave me, and then I paid another hundred taels of silver from Steward Wu, and now there are only thirty taels left." Liu Dahai said in the future.

"Hey, what else should I do, what am I afraid of spending more money! The rest of the money is yours! Show me your new firecracker! Wang Dalun didn't take that money seriously at all, and urged Liu Dahai to take out the new-style firecracker.

When Liu Dahai handed the musket to Wang Dalun, he saw that this musket was already a bit of the prototype of a flintlock pistol in later generations.
