"Tell me about the reason for the high wages?" Qing Niang didn't wait for Si Xiu to speak, and asked first.

"The shaft had to be made of hardwood, the tools had to be sharp, and I had to build it now!" He was very excited, and he had thought about it for more than ten years, and if it was to be achieved today, this living wage could be exchanged for a set of tools at hand.

The work done by the horse blacksmith is really good, but unfortunately it is ridiculously expensive.

"Have you heard of Bai Jianmu, the whole set is made of it, and so are the gears!" Master Lu was obviously surprised, don't the gears use iron? Not only had he heard of Bai Jianmu, but there were two more in the yard, but unfortunately, he couldn't even split it with an axe.

"Don't gears use iron? White hardwood is too hard. He was on the verge of stammering.

"The white wood is too hard, aren't you going to build tools? Why don't you take us to the blacksmith, and if he can make the gears I want, we can change them to iron! ”

Carpenter Lu didn't say a word, but took them to a small alley, turned eight corners, and revealed a small door in front of them.

"This is it, the horse blacksmith is a bit old-fashioned, he doesn't like to see the living, or will Miss let me show him the picture?"

Qing Niang understands that if people don't take her job, they won't be able to see anyone, and the masters are weird. I didn't bother at the moment, and directly gave him the drawings of the gear part.

A quarter of an hour later, the little door creaked open, and a bad old man came out, beckoning at them.

Looking at the sloppy appearance of that person, probably the talented ones are so unkempt.

"Little girl, did you draw this picture?"

"Uh, no, I bought it." You can't blink an eye when lying.

"Well, I ask you, how is this place calculated? Is it okay to bite like this? ”

People ignored her answer at all, and asked directly about the key points, Qing Niang had to tell the truth, explaining to him step by step, and finally, the horse blacksmith took out a piece of fine iron.

"This hardness is enough, the gear only needs to be the surface, wear-resistant, and the toughness inside is better." He spoke jargon.

The board was slapped right away, all the gears were made here, and the carpenter was in charge of the wooden part.

She directly took ten taels to Master Ma, which can be regarded as an advance payment. He took another ten taels and handed them to Master Lu.

On the mule cart on the way back, she repeatedly hinted to someone, but they just pretended not to understand, and the angry Qingniang said directly:

"You can prepare the wood for Yangling Village."

"I'm afraid this won't work, I can't find the white wood you said, just a good person to do it to the end, let's prepare it together."

"I have no money, and I pay for the blacksmith and the carpenter, and I don't have enough money to buy materials." The little rich woman actually said that there was no silver? I didn't even think about rushing out.

"I only gave you fifty taels of wine money a few days ago, and it's gone so soon?" As soon as Qing Niang heard this, her little face snapped and she put it down, she didn't just accept the fifty taels recently, and the tofu shop and snack bar all had silver handed over. But if she has it, what does it have to do with your surname?

"I've been short of money lately, and I've used all the money to buy rations for the border army." Seeing her face blackened, Si Xiu hurriedly remedied.

Hearing this, even if I was unhappy, I had to forget it. glanced at the guy, this general should be a soldier out of his own pocket?

On the day when the waterwheel was erected by the river, the whole village came to see the excitement, which was a new thing in ten miles and eight towns.

"Li Da, you are beautiful now, the water will flow directly to the ground." The canal by the river, which leads to the fields, is paved with stones.

"That's it, my land is next to yours, and I'll pour it on me when the time comes."

"......" for a while, there was gossip and everything, and Yan Lichang also arrived at the scene, this is a big event under his jurisdiction! At this time, together with the patriarch, they all stood beside Qing Niang.

"The eldest lady is really courageous, looking at our city, this magnificent waterwheel is the first one, I have only seen it in Guanli."

It's not the first one, Yangling Village made two, because the village is big, so one waterwheel is not enough to water.

Today is definitely the highlight of Master Lu's life, after the completion of this business, he is the boss of the carpenter industry in Zhenbei Mansion, and the wage can be raised by a grade.

When the waterwheel slowly turned, the clear water rushed into the waterway, and the audience resounded with cheers. The lieutenant took the opportunity to announce that if anyone wants to use water in the future, he must be paid accordingly to Su Fu.

The patriarch also announced on behalf of Qing Niang, if you don't want money, just change jobs. She had already thought that if it was a poor and weak family, she should do good deeds.

Situ Xiu stood in front of the waterwheel in Yangling Village, looking at the rushing water, and had a deeper understanding of Qing Niang, this chick is not simple.

The situation of the chick is not good, she was left here alone by her family, her stepmother is the daughter of the Du family, but she is not a good stubble! Let's help more in the future, who calls them friends?

With the river water, Li Da planted ten acres of rice, and of course the seeds were obtained by Qing Niang, and the seedlings were raised early. Li Da admires this style, Miss's method is too good, it is more reliable than sowing seeds, the seedlings are planted one by one, and they will regain their vitality in three days, and they are not afraid of the scarcity of seedlings at all.

After finishing these two major events, Qing Niang planned to go to live in the town, Wen Jin's homework she was a little worried, I heard, I jumped another level, and those who participated in the children's exam this year in the same class, this is to pull out the seedlings to help her, she hopes that her younger brother will learn more solidly, and don't be too stressed.

"Sister, I can memorize the articles required by the children's exam, so Mr. let me go to this class."

"Being able to memorize doesn't mean that everyone understands, you enlightened late, and you don't need to compare with others." Their household registration is not here, and even if they have to take the exam, they have to go back to the capital.

"I know, Mr. said, this class has a lot of explanations, so I asked me to listen to it, in the previous class, the main test was memorization."

Could it be that my brother's memory is so good? She picked a few and asked him to recite them to herself.

Zi said: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say it? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”

…………………………

Zi said: If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die.

Wen Jin shook his head and recited it, and when it came to the second part, Qing Niang stopped him, touched his head and asked:

What does it mean to learn without thinking? Tell me about it.

The meaning of this sentence is: only know learning, do not know thinking, that is white learning. And if you only know how to think, but you don't know how to study, it is even worse, and it will kill people. "Yes, it means the same.

"Very good, the knowledge explained by the teacher in class, you must think more, what you don't understand, ask why? If the teacher can't answer, you can come back and ask your sister, in short, you can't follow everyone's clouds, you know? ”
