Chapter 82: Throwing Yourself into Your Arms
Qin Mu has a general understanding of the environment at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty today, no one cares about the life or death of the people, even the people themselves.
They were praying for rain from heaven instead of looking for a solution.
"In this way, Lord Fei, you will take the lead in announcing to the counties of Luoyang to recruit people who work at home to sort out the ditches, and each person will pay ten cents a day, do you think this is feasible?"
Fei Ran shook his head and sighed, "Qin Mu, you don't understand, you pay ten yuan a day, recruit hundreds of people, they can work for a month under the supervision of no one, believe it or not, if you receive money by day, you are delaying the progress of the project." ”
"Whether we succeed or fail, we have to give it a try, not a few hundred, but a thousand, according to the probability, there will always be someone to work, and there will always be farmers who hope to fight the drought first."
Looking at Qin Mu with a difference, "You're really losing money by doing this, aren't you?" ”
"The villages in various counties are asking them that as long as they can complete the task, one person will be given a few dozen taels of silver, and when the time comes, they will not be given a dime if they can't do well, and I roughly estimate that it will only take about ten days at most."
Fei Ran still felt that it was inappropriate, "No, try not to do this kind of thankless work, let's still dig wells honestly, as much as we can do, as long as the Queen Mother can see obvious results, it is enough." ”
Qin Mu was instantly unhappy, "Master Fei, do you want to be promoted?" Are you disgusted with trouble? I'll tell you that if you don't agree today, I'll just withdraw the equipment for drilling wells. ”
"Don't don't, don't do it, I can't just do it, but it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice... This..."
"I'll travel for money."
Fei Ran immediately laughed, "That's okay, I'll find the village of the villages around Luohe tomorrow, don't worry, I will do a good job." ”
Speaking of which, Fei Ran is still afraid of going to the Queen Mother to ask for money to do things, once he opens his mouth, it will be a manifestation of his incompetence, and Fei Ran deserves to be an old oilman in officialdom.
Feiran looked at Qin Mu's calm and calm appearance, he couldn't understand why Qin Mu, as a businessman, wanted to do this kind of money-losing business, his family had a lot of money, even if Luoyang had no grain, his life would not be affected in the slightest, abnormal, too abnormal...
There are so many businessmen I have seen over the years, they are all a group of mercenary people, even if they pretend to be for the country and the people, they have a deeper purpose.
As for whether Qin Mu has it, Fei Ran can't see it yet.
Qin Mu's inner thoughts only wanted that it was impossible not to save this good farmland, he himself was also from the countryside, and at that time he still used manual harvesting to harvest wheat, and he vaguely remembered the appearance of pushing the wheel hub on the yang field.
In fact, it was more that Qin Mu wanted to do this well and provide a guarantee for his next plan.
In the following days, he traveled to various villages every day, organizing personnel to repair water wheels in the morning, and supervising the progress of drilling wells in the afternoon.
In the originally lonely village, donkey carts and wagons running back and forth every day.
Qin Mu found that he had too many good days, so he had no intention of running around with Feiran, but instead ran around in the cold shower at home and played stand-alone games on his mobile phone.
The weather was too hot, Qin Mu gave everyone a holiday, and even the store was closed, and he took the inventory and pulled it out every day.
Wu Zhengji watched Qin Mu taking a bath in the lobby shirtless, and he was also interested for a while.
"Comfortable."
Wu Zhengji closed his eyes with a smile, "Comfortable." ”
"What clothes to wear, take them off like me, there are only two women in this house, one is completely closed, and the other is still your sister."
Xiaohua brought tea, "Chairman, am I not a woman?" ”
"You're still young, you're still a little girl, besides, what are we men afraid of being looked at."
Xiaoqing came to the lobby sweating profusely at this time, and saw Qin Mu and Wu Zhengji soaking in the water tank, their faces flushed with shame.
"What are you doing?"
"What about the summer, Xiaoqing, do you want to give it a try."
"I don't want it, you don't care, I've been feeling unwell lately."
"Oh?" Qin Mu guessed that it should be a period, "Then I'll make you a mung bean soup to relieve the heat." When the steam engine is finished, I'll take it back and make a fan. ”
Speaking of fans, Qin Mu remembered that he brought a small folding fan.
He got up and went back to the room, took the fan and handed it to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing looked at the strange pattern on it, "Although I don't know what kind of beast this is, it looks so cute!" ”
"Haha, you plug it under your phone where it is charging."
Xiaoqing plugged it in, and the fan spun.
"Hey! It's so cool! Here's how to do it! ”
"The mobile phone you use is all electrified, and this fan has a small motor in it, which can rotate as long as it is powered on.
Xiaoqing's face was full of comfort, "Then why don't we make this?" Instead, how about making a steam engine? ”
"The motor is too difficult to do, and it is particularly difficult to generate electricity with today's technology, and the pre-technical requirements are too high, so let's do it step by step."
What Qin Mu wants to do most is glass, because it is too versatile, not only windows, if glass can be made, it will not be easier to sell than porcelain if it can be shipped overseas.
Nowadays, steel can be smelted and glass can be made, and the easiest way is to burn sand, add some auxiliary materials, and finally the processing process.
Wu Zhengji listened to it as if he didn't listen, "Qin Mu, do you all know these techniques in the future?" ”
"Not everyone understands it, but at least they have learned, some people have forgotten it, and in real life, this knowledge is not used at all, and I was forced to remember these memories hidden in the depths of my brain."
"Then your life is good, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the future is really a good place." Wu Zhengji said with emotion.
"It's a good place, but ah, there is no big difference between people and today's people, and I'm also an ordinary person, just no different from those people who farm the land, but my focus is different."
Most of Qin Mu just comes from videos, and for some reason he likes to watch these, maybe the curiosity in his bones is at work.
Once people don't achieve something in one area, they want to try something else, and the same is true with knowledge, as if knowing a lot of knowledge can give you more to talk about when chatting with others.
Half a month later, the wells in various villages in Luoyang were almost drilled, and the follow-up well replenishment is still continuing.
Tired and thin, he walked with fluttering, and he wore out several pairs of shoes in the past half a month, and it was good to be able to wear out one pair in a year before.
Fortunately, the results are good, the first batch of wells have been put into use, the repair of waterwheels, and the dredging of canals have been basically completed.
Half of Luoyang's land has been irrigated once.
But these are far from enough, and there are too few fields that can be watered in a day with buckets, so the next step is to carry water continuously until the seedlings germinate, and it will not stop until it rains.
Lord Chen's side has been sending people to him to discuss his son's marriage in the past few days, but he has always shirked it under the pretext that he is very busy, and he has refused after the day.
But it's not a way to delay and delay, Fei Ran is in a hurry, it's been half a month, why haven't Qin Mu and his daughter done anything yet!
In Li's mansion, Qin Mu took a nap on the floor of his room.
Fei Caiwen sneaked into Qin Mu's room prettyly, and seeing Qin Mu shirtless, Fei Caiwen immediately covered her eyes.
Then he began to undress and slowly approached Qin Mu.
Qin Mu, who was asleep, suddenly felt like he was lying next to the fire.
In his dream, he imagined himself eating a barbecue with friends by the river.
"This steamed bun is so soft, Wang Xiaoyuan, have you cooked it!" Qin Mu asked in his dream.
Wang Xiaoyuan looked at the steamed bun in his hand, "You can pinch this little spiky steamed bun..."
"Ahh
Qin Mu was frightened, "Wang Xiaoyuan, you are transsexual!" What is your name when I pinch steamed buns! ”
Qin Mu looked at the only steamed bun in his hand, but he could feel the existence of the steamed bun with both hands.
He looked at everyone and realized that he was in a dream.
Unconsciously, his eyes moistened, and he slowly woke up.
"Ahh it! Fei Caiwen, why are you here! Qin Mu immediately jumped up and looked at Fei Caiwen, who had only one piece of clothing to cover him, and his face was flushed.
"Qin Mu, we did everything just now, I am your person." Fei Caiwen said shyly.
Qin Mu's palm contracted, and he just closed...
"Fei Caiwen, are you too shameless as a woman! I said I don't need you, you still post it upside down, you hurry up and let me out! ”
I don't know why Qin Mu was offended.
He is very disgusted with this kind of upside-down woman, maybe he has done too much licking the dog, and he is very uncomfortable.
Fei Caiwen was hurt by Qin Mu's words, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, and then she picked up her clothes and ran out of the door.
Qin Mu came back to his senses and immediately regretted it, how could this woman who was sent to the door be like this!
"No! Never send it to your door. Qin Mu comforted himself.
He didn't want to have to take care of women all day, and it was better to live easily than anything else.
Besides, he didn't like a woman like Fei Caiwen at all.
Ruoqin passed by the door and saw Qin Mu's appearance and immediately turned sideways and asked, "Are you guys here..."
"You think too much, it's Fei Caiwen who is in a hurry, she wants to be my woman, I was just sleeping, she suddenly got into my arms, I'm also helpless, Ruoqin."
Ruoqin smiled secretly, "Qin Mu, there's nothing wrong with Fei Caiwen, don't you like her?" ”
"I don't like it, I don't feel it."
"And what kind of woman do you like?"
Qin Mu got dressed, walked out of the door and said perfunctorily, "I like those who are willing to die for me." ”
Qin Mu had no intention of paying attention to these, and while it was still early, he was going to go to Feiran to take a look at his steam engine.
Although there are people who come to report the situation every day, it is better to see these things in person.
These days of non-stop work, the steam engine has changed a lot of parts, but fortunately, there is no problem on the ventilation side, which proves that the quality of the steam engine I made is still passable.
Qin Mu drove the road in a carriage for an afternoon and came to the most remote village in Luoyang.
After some inquiry, I found the well-drilling team led by Feiran.
A group of them squatted under the big tree with a dirty face, eating steamed buns to enjoy the coolness.
Qin Mu walked over slowly and saw that Fei Ran was unkempt, his skin was darkened, and the official uniform on his body had also turned into coarse linen clothes.
