Chapter 79 Weapons Supervisor Young Supervisor
A month was short, but it was very long for me. Without Master Zhou, the so-called blacksmiths in the Weapon Supervisor could not even make good steel. They kept making hard iron, and all three furnaces of hard iron were cooked. However, Carpenter Zhao resumed production and developed plow rakes suitable for plain farming according to local conditions, and even had the intention of inventing a seed machine.
After seeing the seeder invented by Carpenter Zhao, it is completely different from later generations. In fact, the principle is very simple. It is to use rollers to rotate and release seeds from small holes under the machine in a certain number. The interval between them can be adjusted by a wooden pole. It can be operated by one person and the weight is not heavy.
"Master Zhao, why don't you make a seedling machine with a cow or a horse? Isn't it just like having a frame in front?"
Carpenter Zhao looked at the structure in front carefully and nodded excitedly:
"The Lord said it's right. Just install the first half of our carriage in front. Why didn't I expect it?"
I didn't plan to tell Carpenter Zhao why he didn't expect the reason. I was afraid that he would not be able to bear it when he said it. Time travel and rebirth, do you understand? Don't understand. So, it's useless to say it, just let him think that this was the Lord's accidental idea.
Just because I was angry about the Weapon Prison, someone came to the palace, and it was still the eunuch who was in charge of Wang De, Eunuch Wang, and Li Shimin.
He entered the palace according to the routine, bowed and greeted the emperor, and gave him a seat here, carefully sat down with his butt sticking out. The emperor in front of him didn't know what to say.
"I have already released the man in Zuo Jinwu Guard. Ning Wen, please feel free to get your little mountain cannon. Within a year, no one will be irresponsible."
What happened? Why did that person be released? He has been busy with weapons supervision these days, but he has left that person behind.
"But that man was the criminal who kidnapped Zhou Jian! I don't know..."
Before he finished speaking, he was analyzing in his mind, and Li Shimin interrupted him.
"I said, let me release you, would you ask me to say it again?"
I quickly accused me of the crime and didn't dare to say anything else, and I felt very uneasy.
"Is Liu Rengui here?"
Li Shimin turned around and asked Wang De, and the eunuch returned carefully:
"Report to the emperor, Liu Rengui, the chief of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, is waiting outside the warm-up hall. Do you want to announce his coming in?"
"Prince!"
Another old routine of paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor has almost not changed much for a thousand years. Anyway, it is a long-lasting formula.
"I ordered you to be the weapon supervisor and the young supervisor to handle the matter with Director Ning. You should work together to strive to create a mountain cannon as soon as possible."
So that's it. Today I'm here to give me a deputy. No wonder the little chief Liu Rengui knew about the Weapons Prison before. He came to his senses. This old man must have communicated with Li Shimin before, otherwise it would be impossible to get in touch with the Weapons Prison based on his grade.
Li Shimin has a bad temper today. Maybe it’s related to Chai Shao. I’m so eager for Chai Shao to offend Li Shimin to death. It’s best if Chai Shao’s brain is pinched by the door and directly pull the team up the mountain. Then I will use the small hill to bomb!
I thought about it, but unfortunately, Chai Shao was actually sent to the front line to conquer the Turks. Ren Jin River Road marching chief has already sent troops to the front line. No wonder Li Shimin wanted to release any side branch in the prison just now. I guess this is an explanation to Chai Shao.
Liu Rengui got on my boat and had to treat him well. Zuiyue Tower originally wanted to pull Changqian or Huai Liang, but unfortunately, Young Master Liu refused to do it. He said he wanted to talk to me, the chief, about the development blueprint of the weapon supervisor. He seemed not satisfied with our current work.
After all, this guy is very respectful to me on the surface, but I can't stand it. Thinking about a middle-aged man in his early forties giving gifts to a boy in his twenties, it's awkward.
The wine and food were served quickly, and I poured a full bowl of Liu Rengui. I was so proud of it. I was stuffed with water. I quickly asked:
"Waiter, this wine is probably mixed with water, right?"
The waiter quickly blew up haha, his professional smile hung on his face and said repeatedly:
"Oh, Mr. Gu, that high-level liquor has been out of supply long ago. There is no one in the business now. You can just drink it!"
Yes, the home steaming wine workshop is still under construction, and it is built at a scale of tens of thousands of kilograms. Just the steaming wine pots have been prepared. Due to the injury of Master Zhou, his apprentice's child is slow and has not opened fire for a while. Wait a minute, the goods will arrive in Lingnan at the end of every month, which is still early.
"Haha, why does Director Ning have a special liking for that high level of liquor? Could it be that this wine is really unavailable?"
Liu Rengui picked up the wine bowl, dries it in one gulp, rubbed the few drops left along his beard, smashed his lips, and looked very satisfied.
It seems that he has never drunk high-level wine. This guy has always been honest and probably has no spare money to drink high-level wine. It seems that Liu Rengui has the momentum of poverty and has to be restrained and saved, so that this prime minister who can take charge of the Tang Dynasty in the future will be used to that kind of high-level wine.
"Yes, I'm used to drinking high-degrees, so the low-degree feeling is not very energetic!" Take a sip, the so-called deep feelings and stuffy, and the feelings are shallow, and lick it, it's very unhappy. When we first met, this guy was suspected of preaching, and now he actually had an objection to the Ning family's liquor. He had no friendship, so it was worth a sip.
"Haha, Master Ning, how much grain should I use to brew this wine? How many families can this grain support? I wonder if Master Ning has calculated this account?"
How to calculate it? I just asked me, and I almost lost my mind:
"Half a catty, why did the young jailer ask?"
"A pound of grain can only produce four taels of wine of the same degree. If the main pound of wine is steamed, it is estimated that one pound of grain will not even be four taels of white wine. So much less food out of thin air. If every family does this, it is a pity, how can the people of the Tang Dynasty fill their stomachs?"
To be honest, what this old guy said makes sense, but this is the industry that the Ning family relies on for their living. You just say that you put a big hat on waste of food. I can't accept it. Besides, you, Liu Rengui is also my subordinate, and you are drinking wine now. Besides, I will pay for it. Why can't you say something nice and have to make things difficult for me like this?
Seeing that my face was a little dim, this old man changed his mind and talked about poetry. This is not my strength. The old man, please ask me all the problems.
"The previous Qujiang Poetry Conference was a big show of the limelight. The song "Red Cliff nostalgia" was heart-wrenching. Now even a three-year-old child knows the eternal heroes, haha."
"Haha, I'm sorry, Ning was forced to do so. There were countless boats and boats on Qujiang Tower that day. Ning thought that the Battle of Red Cliff was so chaotic that day. Now it would be impossible to let Ning write another poem."
I made up a mess and blocked this guy's mouth first, so as not to beg like a star-chasing person later and asked me to write a poem for him. This is a laborious job. We don't have much inventory in our stomachs, and one less song is less. If we use it all before death, it would be a shame to our reputation. I won't do this to kill chickens and retrieve eggs.
"Haha, I'd rather be at ease than being impatient. Liu is not a person with a good manners. He only talks about business affairs at this moment and talks about the future."
Lao Liu was not at all, and told me to talk about business. Damn, I have any business to talk to you, do you understand how gunpowder turns into explosives? I don’t understand, of course I don’t understand, what is that steam engine? I don’t understand, you don’t understand, you don’t understand, there is no common language at all. Besides, you pretended to accuse me of steaming wine for wasting food. Why didn’t you quit drinking? Why didn’t Li Shimin issue an order to ban wine making? It’s very one-sided to consider whether people eat enough or not from the perspective of saving. Why don’t you consider food security from the perspective of how to increase grain production and reduce waste? Moreover, the low productivity is an unavoidable fact. To fundamentally solve this problem, it cannot be solved by saving and banning wine making.
