Chapter 156: Farming should not be done like this

There are fully transparent glass houses full of pen, ink, paper and inkstones, which are very spacious and bright, and they can draw and calculate at will in them.

There are even dozens of lanterns made of transparent glass in that house, which will illuminate the whole house as if it were day, even at night.

Moreover, they had never seen the butter used in the lantern, it did not produce smoke, and it had no peculiar smell, and a spoonful of butter could be used for more than ten days.

Not far from these houses is their dormitory, where they can rest as they please.

Not far from their bedroom is the back kitchen, which has a special cook to cook for them.

Three meals a day, as long as the meal is ready, someone will stand on the roof of the canteen with a huge iron lock and shout.

The iron lock is much thicker than the ordinary suona, and it can actually amplify the human voice several times, as long as the iron lock is placed on the person's mouth to shout, the entire gunpowder workshop can hear it.

Whether it is the horse lamp or the iron lock, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting are full of novelty.

At the back of the gunpowder workshop are individual concrete houses ten steps apart from each other.

Looking at the thickness of the walls of the concrete houses, they felt that even if they blew up a few rounds with the general's cannon, the cement houses were intact.

In those concrete houses, there are all kinds of thin steel of all sizes, and they are completely free to experiment.

There were also patrolmen around, and they didn't have to worry about someone rushing in suddenly.

In addition, in the entire gunpowder workshop, there were dozens of craftsmen, both young and old, but as long as they heard that the two of them were Tao Wanhu's young disciples, those craftsmen immediately looked at them with excitement on their faces.

Of course, what excited the two the most was that in a house, Guo An handed them a stack of papers.

Above, there are some recipes for gunpowder and drawings of some firearms.

Although there were countless complicated processes that they needed to experiment with, this was 10,000 times more comfortable than when they were in Yingtian City.

It can be said that they only need to study and experiment with peace of mind based on the knowledge and experience they have learned in the past.

All the logistical baggage, even the respective materials, as long as they open their mouths, someone will bring them to them!

"It's a pity that I didn't know that His Royal Highness King Yan's gunpowder workshop was so rich, otherwise we could have written the situation here into a letter and informed my father and the senior brothers. I'm afraid that my father and all the senior brothers will leave everything in Yingtianfu and rush to Beiping Mansion......"

When only Tao Yiping and Yang Ting were left in the room, Tao Yiping said excitedly while stroking the steel piled up in the room with at least nearly 1,000 catties.

Yang Ting also nodded with an excited face, "In the past, the two of us thought of forging a fire system in Yingtian by ourselves, and we still had to wait in line for those senior brothers in front of us to run out of the furnace, and we could only use it."

Even, even steel, can only use the inferior iron used by the senior brothers.

And here, so much fine steel can be used by the two of us! ”

"Guo Changshi said, the two of us don't have to worry about steel at all, if it runs out, just inform Qiu Baihu outside, and then go to the iron smelting institute to pull it......

"Yiping, look at the charcoal here, why is it different from what we used in the past?"

"Light one and give it a try?"

"I'm going to get the fire fold!"

"I'm going to ...... latte"

So, on the first day of their arrival at the gunpowder workshop, the two began to burn the furnace.

……

And Tao Wanhu, who was far away in Yingtianfu, after receiving the letter written by his young son and the closed disciple, suddenly thundered like five thunders, and the whole person was stunned.

The two fools in their own family actually saw that Guo Changshi, so they decided to worship him as their master and forever be a vassal of the Yan Palace.

Moreover, I have to go to the craftsman workshop of the Yanwang Mansion to be a craftsman.

Is it easy to go to the artisan workshop in Yanwangfu? A cement secret is worth a million taels of silver.

If you go in, can you still get out?

In a hurry, Tao Chengdao directly cleaned and changed his clothes, and cried towards the palace.

Hearing Tao Chengdao crying outside the palace, Lao Zhu couldn't help but be a little curious, and hurriedly sent Erhu to bring him in.

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the grass people!"

As soon as he entered the Fengtian Temple, Tao Chengdao knelt in front of the hall, his face full of grievances.

Lao Zhu's face suddenly sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Since we became emperors, you haven't come to see us once in a few years."

Today is so wronged, but who has bullied you? Let's send Erhu, or Jiang Zhen to bring him, and cut him with a thousand knives. ”

Tao Chengdao subconsciously shuddered, and the tears in his eyes suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, the grass people heard that in Beiping, Guo Changshi in the palace of His Royal Highness King Yan is proficient in the skills of craftsmen, not like the grass people, but just studying gunpowder and other things that ask for people's lives.

That Guo Changshi is a person who can apply the skills of his craftsmen to the livelihood of the people in the world, and he is a real craftsman and sage.

Therefore, the grass people went to Beiping Mansion with their youngest son Tao Yiping and their younger disciple Yang Ting, so that the two boys could have a long experience.

But I didn't expect that as soon as the two boys arrived in Beiping Mansion, they were coaxed by that Guo Changshi, worshiped that Guo Changshi as their master, and entered Yanwang's Mansion......

Your Majesty, poor grass people, it's a pity that I have worked hard to cultivate those two boys for more than ten years, and I am still preparing the workshop for those two boys to take over the grass people in the future......

Who would have thought that these two boys had not yet left the school, and they were tricked into the Yanwang Mansion by that Guo Changshi......

The grass people regret it......"

Lao Zhu's eyelids twitched slightly, but his face was full of gentleness, "You mean, the fourth child tricked those two boys from your family into his palace?" ”

Tao Chengdao hurriedly shook his head, "Your Majesty misunderstood, it is the Guo Changshi in the palace of His Royal Highness King Yan." Caomin originally thought that Guo Changshi was so heartfelt about the world, and his morality would not be bad.

But I didn't expect that Guo Changshi was so immoral and deceived the young son and disciple of the grass people!

Please let Your Majesty call the shots for the grass people......"

Lao Zhu's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will write a letter to the fourth bastard in a while, and we will definitely reprimand him severely and call him ......"

Tao Chengdao's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

"Huh?"

Lao Zhu looked at Tao Chengdao with some doubts.

Tao Chengdao said worriedly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is anxious, and he must not be reprimanded. This matter is the fault of Guo Changshi, and the young son and disciple of the grass people are still in the Yanwang Mansion...... Those two boys are fools, and the grass people are afraid that they will be wronged......"

Lao Zhu sighed softly and comforted: "Don't worry, we understand what you mean, let's let the prince write a letter and ask." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tao Chengdao breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Tao Chengdao retired.

"This old fox ......"

When Lao Zhu was left alone in the main hall, Lao Zhu snorted lightly, and then lowered his head to review the chapter.

……

Pei Binh Province.

For five days in a row, Qiu Fu told Zhu Di what happened in the gunpowder workshop, and begged Zhu Di to take care of it.

Zhu Di couldn't help it a little and found Guo An.

"Guo Qing, it's been five days in a row, since Tao Yiping and Yang Ting's two entered the gunpowder workshop, Qiu Fu has reported to us every day, those two boys don't seem to be studying gunpowder in the gunpowder workshop, but like they are going to blow up the house to play.

Every day, every few hours, there would be a loud explosion in the gunpowder workshop. One of the two concrete houses you had people build has been blasted out of a huge hole......

There were even a few times when the fire that burned in the house could not be extinguished with water...... After a while, it started to rekindle again......"

And what surprised Zhu Di was that Guo An was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your Highness, is this really the case?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di looked puzzled.

"Your Highness, the development of gunpowder requires more explosion, more burning, and improvement in test after trial."

Guo An explained: "According to Qiu Fu's reaction, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting were not lazy in the gunpowder workshop.

Perhaps, in a few days, they will be able to develop the incendiary bombs that Weichen needs. ”

Zhu Di looked strange and said: "Those two boys are not lazy, Qiu Fu has not rested for a day in the past few days."

Even, those two boys almost blew up Qiu Fu and a few guards to death. ”

"Huh?"

Guo An's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Your Highness to give an order, reprimand Qiu Fu, and strictly order them to approach the surroundings of the experimental house."

Otherwise, his guards did not die at the hands of the Japanese and the Mongols, but they were killed by their own gunpowder. ”

Zhu Di also reacted and nodded slightly.

"Those rammed goods, I really dare to come forward."

"Your Highness understands it."

Guo An's expression eased slightly.

Then, as soon as the topic changed, Zhu Di asked again: "Guo Qing, we heard that you have been running to the farm these days, but what happened to the farm?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, Wechen is studying the cultivation of the fields." Guo An replied.

"Study the ploughing field."

Zhu Di was stunned, "The matter of cultivating fields has been passed down for thousands of years, what is the place to study?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Royal Highness, Weichen found that when the people are plowing the fields now, they all reclaim a field, and then plow the field out of ravines, apply fertilizer at will, and then bury the seeds in it.

When the seeds germinate, at most hoe the weeds, and then ignore the rest, as for whether the harvest can be harvested, it is up to God. ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This has been the case since ancient times, could it be that Guo Qing has a better way to cultivate the fields?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, although Weichen doesn't take care of the fields much, he always feels that farming shouldn't be like this. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di asked with some curiosity: "Guo Qing has any better cultivation method?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, Weichen feels that farming can't always rely on God, and the people also need to work harder." ”

Zhu Di sighed slightly, "Guo Qing, the people are already very farming. ”

Guo An said helplessly: "Your Highness misunderstood, Weichen doesn't think that the people don't work hard in the fields.

Instead, they felt that the farmers and tenants were illiterate and relied on their experience in farming passed down by word of mouth.

However, these experiences have not improved the farming technology or the yield per acre. ”

"They don't write down with pen and paper, and they never think about what the final yield would be if they combined different soil qualities, different fertilizers, different seeds, or different irrigation amounts?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "What does Guo Qing mean?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the last time Weichen came to Beiping Mansion from his hometown, there happened to be some fellow villagers from his hometown who wanted to follow Weichen to Beiping Mansion to break through.

Moreover, most of these villagers know a few words.

Wechen arranged two older and two younger villagers to the farm and asked them to help study how to farm. ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened directly, "You actually let a literate fellow villager go to the farm to farm?" ”

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Di said with a puzzled face, "Guo Qing is not afraid that this matter will spread out, and the world will laugh at Guo Qing for being unkind and treating his fellow villagers harshly?" ”
