Chapter 49: The Farmer Has Little Idle Month

"Why are these juniors so critical!" Liu Bei was very angry.

Zhang Fei didn't answer, but silently wrote it down in his heart: It turns out that this Bai Zhen is called a panda!

"That's not a lie." Kong Ming happened to study a little:

"There is a saying in the Book of Han that it is forbidden to cut down trees and die, and the disaster of floods and droughts may not be from this;"

"When the soil and trees of one side are cut down, the torrential rain carries the mud into the river, and so on and so on, or what the descendants call soil erosion."

Liu Bei was speechless, since Ban Gu said it, there was really no way to criticize.

"And nowadays, it takes seven catties of charcoal to smelt a pound of iron, and a pound of charcoal needs at least three times as much wood."

Huang Yueying, who was in charge of the Ministry of Craftsmanship recently, also talked with the blacksmith, and roughly listed the following data:

"Ten years of green tung trees, 300 catties of charcoal, all smelting can only smelt dozens of catties of iron."

These data are the first time Liu Bei has come into contact with them, and he can't help but be a little shocked:

"And what is coal?"

The four were speechless, only Huang Yueying said: "Or the coal that was dug out of the ground, once had the name of Shi Nirvana." ”

Kong Ming admired it a little from the bottom of his heart: It is worthy of being my wife!

"What about the online store and porcelain that this junior is talking about?"

This time, Huang Yueying could only reluctantly answer one: "Since it is put together, then this porcelain may be born from pottery." ”

As for the online store? Mi Zhu can guess that this store should be the same as now, but what does the word "net" mean by adding the word "net" in front?

Mi Zhu, Huang Yueying, and Kong Ming are all like this, not to mention the three generals of Guan Zhang and Huang.

"So let's disperse first." Liu Bei waved his hand: "Kong Ming stays, I'll talk about it in detail." ”

Out of the hall, Zhang Fei remembered what the eldest brother said, and immediately turned into the back hall.

Zhang Fei looked left and right through the moon gate and didn't see a single maidservant, so he could only shout loudly:

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to pick up Feng'er and go to the barracks!"

After a while, Mrs. Gan asked people to accompany her out and said curiously:

"Third general, but what big mistake did Feng'er make?"

Mrs. Gan still remembers that Liu Bei didn't know why he didn't have a good face for Feng'er and Adou in recent months.

Tossing and turning from time to time without saying anything, occasionally looking at the backs of the two children and sighing for a long time.

After asking, there was an unspeakable look on his face, which made Mrs. Gan curious.

Facing Mrs. Gan, Zhang Fei was more cautious, took a step back, and said softly:

"Sister-in-law, it's nothing, isn't Feng'er always wanting to lead the troops to fight? Recently, there happened to be no war, so I brought Feng'er into the barracks to familiarize myself with it in advance. ”

Mrs. Gan nodded: "It's okay...... Feng'er is in the south of the martial arts arena, you go to him. ”

Zhang Fei hugged his fists and left, and finally hesitated for a moment and said: "Sister-in-law cherishes her body, but if she is unwell, she must go straight to find Doctor Zhang!" The eldest brother is now in this backyard, but he relies on his sister-in-law! ”

Mrs. Gan nodded demurely: "Yide is going to be by himself." ”

Zhang Fei went directly to the martial arts arena without saying a word, like mentioning a chicken, and plundered Liu Feng to the barracks without mentioning it.

In the high-profile side hall in Gong'an County, the servants noticed that the lights in it were not extinguished until Pingdan.

"It must be Liu Jingzhou who slept with the military advisor again!"

Niu Er, who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, swore an oath, but the people around him reacted mediocrely: Please, what kind of big news is this?

Jiang Wan's office location has been changed to a side hall and officially determined to be Zhuge Liang's book.

When I came to duty the next day, I knocked on the door for a long time only to see Zhuge Liang, who was yawning, helping him open the door.

"The military advisor didn't sleep yesterday?" Jiang Wan was curious, such a military advisor was rare.

Kong Ming scratched his head and said casually: "I had a long talk with the lord all night last night. ”

Jiang Wan noticed that there was another figure lying on the mat inside, sleeping soundly.

"Gongyan, you came just in time, copy this notice." Kong Ming picked and picked from the pile of papers on the table and pulled out a piece of paper.

Jiang Wan took it carefully and read it softly: "On the twenty-fourth day of Yinyue, I hereby order to set up a 'Survey Department', and the words of the Xiangrui Light Curtain will be observed before ......

On the other side, Kong Ming tidied up his hair, and while straightening out his desk, he casually explained to Jiang Wan:

"The lord and I discussed it, and felt that only a few people such as me judged on the spot that there was inevitably a suspicion of mistakes and omissions, so I simply selected a reliable person to be responsible for carefully investigating the words of the light curtain."

"Sort out the useful ones, and send the information to where they are needed."

"For example, the steel filling method seen in the light curtain yesterday has been compiled into a book, and later Gongyan will send it to the iron smelting department of the Ministry of Craftsmanship, and find a year-old craftsman to explain its meaning to see if there can be progress."

"And if the model of the eight-ox crossbow is a forbidden item in the military, this kind of thing needs to be reported to the lord and me, and I will find reliable craftsmen and soldiers to restore it and try it."

Kong Ming didn't say anything about the two-page method of rice management leaked by "Heavenly Creation", but Jiang Wan saw the actions of the military advisor and obviously wanted to go to the old farmer in person to verify the method.

Jiang Wan sighed in his heart, his leisurely time with books is indeed gone.

The entire four counties of Jingzhou were busy from top to bottom, even Liu Bei, who slept soundly in the office hall until noon.

After greeting Jiang Wan, Liu Bei went to the backyard to wash his face and slowly walked outside the county government.

Of course, there was no need to have a warm encounter with Mrs. Gan, and told Mrs. Gan to go to Dr. Zhang for a check-up tomorrow.

It's not yet the time to cultivate, but there are already a lot of small pieces of farmland outside the county town.

Liu Bei recognized that those Jianghuai people who crossed Tianzhu Mountain and followed Lei Xu to vote.

It's cold, but you have to eat, don't you? You can't grow rice at this time, but at least you can plant some beans or vegetables to get through the days in front of you.

Seeing that they were already using the qu plow, Liu Bei smiled and walked over from the side without disturbing.

Opposite these scattered fields is a paper mill next to the Hudu River in the south.

Liu Bei squinted and saw the rather eye-catching round cart by the river.

It's really big, this round car is three times the size of a common rollover.

But unlike the hand-cranked water dump car, this round car can squeak and turn only by hydraulic washing, and if you look closely, you can also see that there is a large bucket at the end of each keel of the overturned car.

These buckets scoop water from the river, and when they turn, they automatically tip over when they hit a wooden pole set up on the shore, and the water in them also pours out and flows into the pool of the paper mill.

The last time Liu Bei came over, there was only one overturned car here, but now a low house has risen from the ground, and a group of people are carrying things to come and go, very busy.

Curiously dragging a helper who didn't seem busy, Liu Bei asked:

"Is this paper mill round car still usable?"

The helper was about to push away impatiently, and when he saw that it was Liu Bei, he hurriedly lowered his hand and replied:

"Mrs. Huang's car is so easy to use! Not only can she draw water from the river by herself, but she can also turn it by herself without manpower, and Mrs. Huang has also built a clever mechanism, this round car can also beat the pulp and grind! ”

Under the explanation of the helper, Liu Bei understood that a group of craftsmen were helpless when building a round car, and they were obedient to Mrs. Huang's training, so now they call this round car Mrs. Huang car in private.

"It's a pity that Zuo Bo paper hasn't been made yet." The helper said that it was a pity: "Mrs. Huang said that it might be a problem with the proportion of pulp, and several big papermakers have been trying to make it. ”

After some conversation, Liu Bei also left satisfied, and finally grinded and stumbled, even if he was unwilling, Liu Bei had to face the problems that needed to be solved:

Xiao Ling, Mrs. Sun.
