Chapter 179: The Ninth of the Spring Festival
On the way back to Changteng Town, the team was reduced to a large number of people, leaving only more than 200 children and a few servant guards, as well as Jiao Ming, Se Mill, Xiao Shi, and Luo Hua's bodyguard sisters and brothers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info lost the small poems of the familiar friends such as the shining scales and was very depressed, Jiao Ming, who was slightly depressed because of leaving the ice lotus, tried his best to raise a smiling face, and played with the little poems with Luohua all the way, and finally adjusted the mood of the little poems back when he arrived in Changteng Town.
However, in an instant, a piece of news knocked Jiao Ming's mood to the bottom, the plague that happened in the ironworks had an aftermath, and a magical warrior who collected herbal recipes brought the plague to several villages, and now those villages are dead. And the lord of the villages, a certain baron whose name he could not remember, simply asked the ironworks for a short sword and did not pursue the matter again.
Jiao Ming was in a bad mood and felt guilty of himself, and what made Jiao Ming even more helpless was that no one around could understand Jiao Ming's distress, and even Jiao Ming found that others looked at him with the same gaze as he did when he looked at those 'virgins'. On the way back, Jiao Ming comforted Xiaoshi, but at this time, the situation was reversed, and Jiao Ming had to force a smile with a heavy heart and try to use work to make himself forget about it for a while.
First of all, Jiao Ming's own job as the principal, after some negotiation with Ms. Ziyu, the division of the teaching staff was determined, and at the same time, in response to the policy of attaching importance to dual-line magical talents, the children with dual-line magical talents were divided into three small classes according to the conditions of the water system and the other three departments, and the sub-system magic was specially trained in production.
Secondly, in terms of agriculture, the reason why Jiao Ming put agriculture ahead of industry was that as long as there was enough food, he could wrap up the children and the whole family behind him in the city of Sardinia and accelerate the development of the territory.
The breeding company had completed the construction of the barn and stabilized the breeding of chickens, ducks and cattle under the management of Lao Menban, and the Xu Qin merchant who had been entrusted by Jiao Ming happened to return, bringing the seeds of kidney beans and mung beans, as well as sheep according to Jiao Ming's description. In fact, Jiao Ming also entrusted the Xuqin merchant to bring cotton seeds, but he didn't expect that this was actually a contraband, and Jiao Ming knew that there were also capable people among the nobles of the Xuqin people. However, after listening to the suggestive words of the merchant, I felt that the feudal rulers were really similar everywhere: they leaked like a sieve. Jiao Ming only thought about the smuggling plan that he gave up for a second, so that there was no need to lose the little credibility that he had established with the Xu Qin people because of the small cotton seeds.
In addition to the forbidden goods, there are also things that have not been found, such as soybeans, a crop with excellent rotation effect, Jiao Ming was not too disappointed, but just bought all the few things he found according to the agreement, and then lightly entrusted the Xu Qin merchant to find it slowly.
A group of magic warriors were very curious about the novelty, first tasted a few seeds and then spit them out to indicate that they were not delicious, and then ate two sheep and felt that the smell was too strange and the meat was less, and the sheep could not be compared with the cows, and after muttering two words, they lost interest. Jiao Ming was speechless for a while, but there was no better way, after all, if he stopped it, it would only arouse greater curiosity and cause greater losses.
Give the sheep ** to the old door board, and tell it to serve carefully, as soon as possible to find out the experience of raising sheep. The old door panel made a suggestion that night: magic connection. Xiao Shi looked at the old door panel for a while and then shook his head, indicating that the old door panel had been in decay for many years and could no longer connect with the second animal. When the old door panel heard this, he immediately patted his chest to show his loyalty, and he never gave up his words. Jiao Mingqi almost slapped him, first interrupting the old door board's hypocritical monologue, and then took a small poem to select a few 'strong souls' among the coolies, and connected with a few sheep to grasp their habits faster.
After the breeding was completed, Jiao Ming took people back to the northern manor castle, first handed over the bean seeds to the wooden spoon, and organized coolies to start trial planting on the fallow plot. Then I was going to go north into the mountains to collect mushrooms and grapes, and I wanted to go to the nameless village to find the village chief Agen to identify the poison of mushrooms, but Zimang said that mushrooms are not poisonous, just taste them, and don't need to slow down with this burden. Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders, since someone is willing to be a 'Shennong', there is really no need to waste time.
As a result, when he came out of the mountain five days later, Zimang's face was green.
Despite this, there was also an unexpected discovery that the toxicity of a red-topped blue-spotted mushroom could actually promote the cultivation of internal organs by magic warriors. Of course, the specific method is not gentle, the internal organs will be slowly destroyed by this mushroom toxin, and the magic warriors are urging the water magic medium to promote its regeneration, and then achieve the purpose of strengthening the internal organs. So it's clear that this is the only way to train magical warriors with six rings or more.
However, after returning to the castle, the wooden spoon accepted the vines, but shook his head at the dozen or so kinds of mushrooms: "My lord, the small one really hasn't grown mushrooms, and if it fails, the small one will die, I'm afraid it will delay your affairs." ā
"It's not hard for you, just plant the grapes well. Jiao Ming left such a sentence, and led everyone back to Changteng Town, ready to try mushroom cultivation in person. First, he asked the old door board to recommend a more clever steward, then opened up several stone chambers next to the space laboratory, and disinfected the stone chambers with quicklime, a by-product of the cement kiln, and then moved them into the substrate of livestock manure mixed with straw, and finally completed the inoculation of mushrooms.
The whole breeding process box list is simple and crude, and there is no control and detection of temperature, humidity, acidity and alkalinity, but Jiao Ming is not a breeding professional, and a system that does not know where to shrink will not provide memory retrieval, and can only do this step by virtue of the knowledge level of some high school biology courses that I still remember, as for whether the mushrooms can survive, most of them are resigned to fate.
When he was busy planting mushrooms, the letter of ice lotus's peace from Semeer's communication box, Jiao Ming, who was called by Ms. Zi Yu, read the letter three times, but did not find a word mentioning himself, although he understood, he was still inevitably melancholy. However, this also reminded Jiao Ming of something, and asked: "The front line has been fighting for so long, why haven't you replied?"
"Is it cheap for you to send a message once?" said Lady Purple Feather angrily.
"What price?" Jiao Ming was a little unconvinced, and asked: "The output of our ironworks is not low, can't we afford it?"
"About half an iron sword once, although I can afford it, I don't think it's worth it again. Ms. Ziyu looked reluctant with a painful face, then looked at Jiao Ming with a look of expectation, and said with a smile: "What's more, I am optimistic about your research ability, I believe that in the near future, communication will be realized through you, where is I willing to suffer from the knife of the Magician Association." ā
Jiao Ming understands this kind of door-picking mentality very well, even in the 21st century, many people in the Zhong Kingdom are still unacceptable to enjoy consumption, and only by exchanging money for things that can be seen and touched can they feel cost-effective. For example, Grandpa Jiao Ming would rather buy a bunch of worthless 'health products' than pay for a movie, which is probably this kind of psychology.
Jiao Ming smiled dryly, and said with a bitter face: "The kid will work hard to study." ā
"You're the same girl as Binglian, you like farming. Seeing that Jiao Ming didn't seem to understand the implication in her words, Ms. Ziyu simply put on a posture of caring for her juniors, and said earnestly: "Ice Lotus came back from learning a 'demonized soil', and you are good to compete with cow dung every day. I didn't talk about you when I saw that you were in a bad mood a few days ago, and I didn't stop you if I wanted to go into the mountains, but you can't be willful this time. ā
Jiao Ming didn't bother to explain the theory of casting a long line to catch big fish, but he just promised it in his mouth, and he didn't think so. However, from the perspective of behavior, Jiao Ming still accepted Ms. Ziyu's advice, after all, these things in agriculture have come to an end, and Jiao Ming originally planned to set his sights on industry.
On the way to the ironworks, while listening to Luohua's secretary's report, Jiao Ming calculated that he had not been here for more than 20 days except for a walk around during the health inspection. Since the plague was followed by spring ploughing, and then she built a school to see off the ice lotus, and then she was busy with goats and mushrooms, no wonder Ms. Purple Feather had a verbal reminder.
The situation on the ironworks side is not optimistic, without the management of the two technical leaders, Binglian and Jiao Ming, the overall situation is divided into three forces. The first is the mining department headed by the scorching cedar, then the smelting department led by the white pebbles, and finally the iron striking department led by the sea scorpion.
"This Romance of the Three Kingdoms!" Jiao Ming said with a smile.
"What's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" asked Luohua.
"Forget it, when I didn't say it. Jiao Ming waved his hand, and then asked, "Who is this white pebble?"
"White Pebble is a collateral descendant of the Cologne family, but his mother is a direct descendant of the Spotted Deer family, so he is closer to the Spotted Deer family by kinship. In winter, he just married a direct daughter of the Flowerhorn Deer family, in fact, according to generation, the bride is still his aunt. If it weren't for the ironworks, he wouldn't be worthy of the Flowerhorn Deer family, but now it seems that he is a ......good match."
"Stop!" Jiao Ming interrupted impatiently, in fact, after listening to a few words, he gradually reacted, this is basically talking about genealogy, maybe these things are very important in the feudal system, but what he wants to ask is not these. Seeing that Luohua was a little blindsided and a little aggrieved, Jiao Ming had no choice but to explain: "It's me who asked the wrong question, well, how many rings is he?"
"The four-ring water system, the three-ring fire system. ā
"Age?"
"Twenty-four. ā
Jiao Ming nodded, if he didn't consider the fire system, the four-ring water system magic warrior was indeed a little lower for a twenty-four-year-old man.
"This white pebble has the highest number of fire-type magic rings?"
"It's not. ā
Jiao Ming waited for the following, but saw that Luo Hua didn't mean to continue, so he helplessly said: "It's not okay if I'm wrong, don't let me ask a little, can you answer a little." ā
"I'm afraid you'll bother me nagging. ā
Jiao Ming heard a sneering laugh in his ears, turned his head and glared at Zimang, and then said a bunch of good things to Luohua, and Luohua continued her work as a secretary. After talking about the white pebbles, he introduced the technical backbone of the current smelting department, an hired 'outsider' four-ring fire mage who has no talent for water-based magic: Wall Root Moss. Just by the name, you know it's a civilian.
This commoner-born magician also knows how to behave in the world, and his abilities are also above the white pebbles, so he can already compete with the white pebbles.
And the Ministry of Mining's side is simple and clear, and in terms of technology, Zhuo Shan is the first person under Jiao Ming, who has won people's hearts by imparting knowledge of qi magic, and has suppressed several provocations with the power of his wife's family, and his position is stable. Jiao Ming was puzzled when he heard it, and interjected: "What is his wife's background?" Then remembering the lesson just now, he hurriedly added: "Tell me who I know in the woman's family." ā
"Countess Yellow Leaf. Luo Hua replied. Jiao Ming sighed, and the woman who dared to face the nine-ring powerhouse appeared in his mind, and then signaled to continue.
Luohua next talked about the most chaotic iron department. After a winter, the Crocodile Collar families of all sizes realized the importance of ironware and worked hard to install family members in the ironworks, and Lady Purple Feather did not want to be angry, so she agreed with a stroke of her pen. And because the magic warriors who don't have the talent of fire or gas magic eventually occupy the mainstream, except for a small number of people who are sent to mine and smelt, most of the people who are stuffed in can only go to the iron, so the iron-fighting group has been brutally expanded from the original nine people to ninety people.
"Can the scorpion hold the scene?"
"When the sea scorpion plague was raised, it rose to the fifth ring and beat everyone up, and now it's no problem. ā
"That's really the crocodile collar's solution. Jiao Ming smiled, half admiring and half sarcastic, and then asked, "Is there any news of the iron-making furnace?"
"Until the departure of the eldest lady of the ice lotus, the medium-sized iron-making furnace was unsuccessful, and after the eldest lady left, she did not continue to experiment, but only used small ones to maintain production. ā
Jiao Ming pursed his lips, not satisfied with this status quo, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only put it aside first. This was the end of Luo Hua's secretary's report on the ironworks, and then she tentatively asked Jiao Ming if she wanted to hear about the construction company.
"Is there anything about Evan?" Jiao Ming asked. Blossom shook her head.
"Forget it, let me be quiet, and the construction company will talk about it when I'm free. Jiao Ming stopped Luohua's desire to speak, although Luohua's voice was very good, but if she listened to it too much, she would have a headache.
......
When he arrived at the ironworks, Jiao Ming planned to go to the iron department first to see the mastery and application of the two processes of quenching and steel filling, but he didn't want to be stopped by the people from the mining department, saying that Zhuoshan had something urgent and asked Jiao Ming to take a look. When he saw Zhuoshan, the latter's news did surprise Jiao Ming: the wall of Sicorton seemed to be healing.
"Tell me more. Jiao Ming said to Zhuoshan.
Zhuo Shan looked at the two people behind him for a few moments, and then spoke, "I first noticed this sign ten days ago, but I'm not sure. Yesterday these two felt the same way. ā
The two people behind Zhuo Shan nodded again and again in agreement: "We don't dare to make a noise, we just want to wait, but fortunately, you are here today." ā
Jiao Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of feeling?"
"It's just that the opening seems to be narrowing. Considering it's wood, it's like healing. Zhuoshan explained. Jiao Ming nodded, concentrating on the spatial magic, pulling up the spatial passage and testing downward.
