Chapter 317 The Big Black Jar
There are still many smart people in this world.

The efficiency of conveying hot air is too low!It soon became apparent that delivering hot water worked just as well.Just make a boiler to boil water.

The blacksmiths in Tianmen County soon made giant iron pots and made them soft.

Sometimes, when the benefits are large enough, a lot of manpower and material resources will be invested in it, and then there will be output soon.

The technology is ready-made, and there are no barriers. It is to connect the technology to the parts you need.Blacksmiths can create sharp and strong magic weapons, and with those magical materials, it is not a problem to create boilers that can withstand high pressure and high temperature.

Zhang Wei visited these things and wondered if they could make a steam engine.But at present, they don't need it yet, because every goblin is comparable to a steam engine.But that's hard to tell when goblins aren't enough.

The problem of heating is solved by the boiler.From now on, every workshop will have a big boiler, and this boiler is combined with a tall chimney. Zhang Wei dreams of going back to the 80s and [-]s before time travel!
But how to solve the problem of lighting?Using candles is not only expensive, but also easy to cause fire.After all, the cotton spinning workshop is full of flammable materials.

Capitalists, too, have found a solution.

Use spells!

The simplest spell - lighting!This lighting technique is a general term, referring to all spells that can illuminate.

Like Foxfire...

Foxfire is a firefly, which cannot ignite cotton and wood, but can still emit green light.This light is enough for work.

The point is that there is Jilei Mountain next to Tianmen County, and there is Jilei Fox in Jilei Mountain.Although a large number of female foxes disdain to come to this job.

But please don't ignore the vast male fox group!

There is no distinction between men and women in practice, but male foxes are not valued, and there are no resources for practice.But they can still put a foxfire.Even if it doesn't work, just find a few more male foxes!
At this moment, the male foxes in Jilei Mountain seem to have a new way out. Do they work as cows and horses in Jilei Mountain, serve those female foxes, or go to the factory as a fox-shaped illuminator?
'Have you ever shined for others in your life? '

'You are destined to be the light! '

When some vixens saw such a recruitment notice, they couldn't help but went to the workshop to apply for the job.This is something that realizes the value of fox life!
In Zhang Wei's mansion, several male vixen are also discussing.

"Would you like to work in a workshop? My second child has asked me several times!" A male fox servant asked another male fox servant.

These male fox servants are all Hu Jubai's former servants, and now they are in the Zhang family, and because they are Hu Jubai's "people close to them", they have an unusual status.

They used to be the male fox's employment ceiling.But now that the 'fox lights' work has appeared, some male vixens have come to ask them these few 'superior' male vixens.

At this time, Hu Qinghao happened to be passing by, and heard the whispering of these servants.So she asked, "What are you guys discussing? Come and tell me!"

The servants had no choice but to tell her the news.

She was delighted to hear it!Then she said: "A man should mount a horse to fight, and dismount to rule the people. What's the point of being a lamp for lighting! Superficial!" She said it completely according to Zhang Wei's standards.

After finishing speaking, she shook her head and walked away arrogantly.Only a few frowning boys were left in place.

Walking back to her room, Hu Qinghao suddenly thought of something.She took out a small jade spirit, looked at these little jade spirits and said, "I can't keep you for nothing, you have to work for me!"

In terms of squeezing the little demon, Hu Qinghao has always had a wide range of ways.

After speaking, she began to design.

"Isn't it just to shine, how difficult it is! Look at me." She muttered to herself while starting to design the formation.

It didn't take long for her to devise a formation that could convert mana into light.Then she found a piece of transparent crystal, and engraved the formation in the crystal.

Then, she picked out a small jade spirit the size of a fingernail, threw it into the crystal, and ordered the little jade spirit: "Output mana!"

What can this little jade spirit do?It didn't dare to resist, so it could only output mana honestly.

This small jade essence the size of a fingernail actually doesn't have much magic power.But this formation requires very little mana.

Then, the crystal glows.Hu Qinghao looked at it carefully and said, "It's too bright! I need something that can adjust the brightness."

Then there was some trimming, and finally, a steplessly brightened crystal was made.

Hu Qinghao thought for a while, and then went to Zhang's workshop.

The manager of the workshop naturally welcomed Madam's arrival.Then Hu Qinghao said: "I heard that you have a headache about the lighting?"

The steward said respectfully: "We dare not disobey the master's order. Now we use candles for lighting, and we even bought lampshades."

As a leading enterprise, Zhangjia Workshop naturally dared to spend a lot of money. Although the candles consumed every day made the manager very distressed, they still had to produce!

Hu Qinghao nodded, then took out the crystal and said, "This is a gadget for you to try, put it on and try."

Then she talked about how to use this thing.It's actually a light bulb.

Naturally, the steward did not dare to neglect Madam's order, so he immediately asked someone to hang up, and then asked the little jade spirit to release its mana.

Then the place was filled with light.

The steward looked at this thing, his face was suddenly happy, and then said: "This light is much stronger than candles!"

Candles have a limited range of light, and foxfire is green, which is actually quite anti-human.But Hu Qinghao's lamp is bright enough and has a wide range of illumination.

Seeing that it was easy to use, Hu Qinghao said: "I'll make some more for you later, and I will send them to work every day for the little jade essences in it."

Hearing this, Guanshi Zhang hurriedly said to Hu Qinghao: "Then thank you Madam!"

Hu Qinghao nodded, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "You have to talk about it in front of the master."

The steward understood immediately, and immediately said: "I will definitely give you a good word in front of the master."

After hearing this, Hu Qinghao nodded and left happily.

That night, the Zhangjia workshop was brightly lit. The light was so dazzling that it immediately attracted the attention of nearby workshops.

There is no way, Zhangjia Workshop is a leading enterprise and a technology center, its every move will be watched by people, and all advanced methods must be absorbed by other workshops.

For example, the concept of the trademark has also been absorbed by other workshops, and some people have started to develop their own trademarks.

Now this light naturally attracted the attention of other workshops. Compared with the green fox fire, this light is no different from the daytime!

Zhangjia Workshop is indeed a leading enterprise!

Not long after, someone came to visit Hu Qinghao, for no other reason than to ask for the crystal lamp.

Hu Qinghao wasn't stingy either. She wanted to make money. She knocked all the large jade essences into fingernail jade essences, and then sent them out to shine to make money.

When these jade spirits have no mana, they will be replaced by another jade spirit, and then the jade spirits without mana will be thrown in the backyard to 'recharge'!
Jade is a substance that is extremely easy to store energy, let alone they become essences.You only need to absorb starlight, and they can be converted into mana later. This is a battery with unlimited charge and discharge!

With her own technology, the ability of jade essence, and the urgent needs of Tianmen County Workshop, Hu Qinghao directly opened up an industry!
In the end Zhang Wei found out about this and just laughed it off.The demand-driven progress is what he hopes to see, but he didn't expect to be able to mobilize his wife, but it also shows the ability of capital.

Under the temptation of money, Hu Qinghao is willing to do design to make money!
..................................................................

In this way, Tongjin has passed 26 years.In the spring of the 27th year of Tongjin, the first day of the first month.Zhang Wei continued to preside over the sacrifices in Tianmen County.

Today's sacrifice is a little different, because he can see the incense burning in the sky.

The incense he saw before was the smoke from real sandalwood burning.But since he practiced "Book of Accumulation", he has seen more things.

People's beliefs, wrapped in smoke, fly towards the sky.This person's belief is the spiritual power of a person. It is extremely diverse, but extremely lively.

The smoke flew into the sky, and a tripod-like thing appeared in the sky, which was collecting these beliefs.The smoke dissipates and the faith is absorbed.

At this time, as long as Zhang Wei intervenes, the incense here will also be absorbed by him, and then he can also make something similar to that tripod to store these beliefs.

This thing is the dharma body in the "Mysterious Body Book".The dharmakaya does not have to be in the form of a person, but can also be in the form of a utensil.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the big black pot at home.He thought for a while, then stretched out his hand, intercepted a small part of his beliefs, and pointed at the big black pot at home.

The next moment, a scene that surprised him but was not unexpected appeared. The incense rushed towards the big black pot in his house, and it was absorbed by the big black pot at once.

The belief in the smoke was absorbed by the big black pot, and the smoke was discharged. The next moment, thick smoke came out of the big black pot, as if you were in the smoke.

Chen Zhirui, who was watering, was taken aback for a moment, and then screamed: "It's not good! The big black pot is on fire!"

The smell of fireworks is the smell of burning. Chen Zhirui went in without knowing it, thinking that the big black pot was on fire.

The servant next to her saw it and immediately poured water on it.But after a few buckets of water, the smoke showed no signs of disappearing.Even the servants were stunned.

After careful observation, they found that there was no fire in the tank, and the smoke was coming out of the tank!

This made Chen Zhirui puzzled.

Zhang Wei didn't know what he did casually, and even surprised Chen Zhirui.But now he can be sure that this big black jar is a dharma body!
This big black jar turned out to be the treasure of the God of Five Grains, so it is very likely that it is the Dharma body of the God of Five Grains.It's just that the God of Five Grains has long since disappeared, and no one can use this dharma body.

Now Zhang Wei suddenly activated this dharma body.

The incense that Zhang Wei intercepted casually quickly filled the big black pot.Tianmen County has been strong and prosperous over the years, and the people's beliefs are extremely firm, so they provide more incense.

And the big black pot probably has never been subjected to so many beliefs, and it was filled in one go.

Now that it's full, Zhang Wei doesn't care.Continue to let the invisible cauldron of the sky absorb it.

After the sacrifice was over, when Zhang Wei returned to the mansion, Chen Zhirui pulled him along and chattered to him about the smoke from the big jar.

When Zhang Wei heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud. It turned out that such a thing happened again!
He came to the big black pot and took a look. At this time, the big black pot could no longer be called the big black pot, and it should be called the big blue pot now.

The jar turned sky blue, but the grains on the surface of the jar glowed golden, which was particularly conspicuous.

Zhang Wei thought for a while, and then used the method in "Book of Gods" to control the belief in the incense in the big blue pot.

In ancient times, the God of Five Grains was the god in charge of harvest and the health of the five grains.Although he has fallen now, there are still some information about this priesthood left in his jar.

Not long after, an incomplete, similar to a talisman was formed in the jar.This thing is also exposed on the surface of the large jar, forming a complex and beautiful pattern.

Chen Zhirui, who was watching, couldn't take his eyes off it, and was attracted by this change.

At this moment, the gourd vine shook violently, and then began to grow suddenly.This time, its vines grew violently, grabbing the four corners of the room in the courtyard.

In Zhang Wei's yard, there are rooms in the front and back, and porches on the left and right, similar to a patio.Now the gourd vine has surpassed the original shed and grabbed the building by the courtyard in one fell swoop.

Then it started growing like crazy.

After a while, the entire courtyard was covered by it, and the sunlight could only shine through the gaps between the leaves, and then the leaves began to grow wildly.

This courtyard is dimmed in one fell swoop!

Zhang Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "You guys are too domineering!"

At this time, those few small flowers, which were just bulging at the flower stalks, have grown wildly, and finally have the outline of a gourd!
The harvest priesthood of the big pot finally promoted the growth of the gourd vine.

In the following time, it will continue to promote the growth of gourd vines.

On the third day of the first lunar month, an old farmer knocked on the door of Zhang's mansion.

Xiao Zhang, the concierge, looked at the old farmer, and asked politely, "Old man, are you busy?"

The old man smiled and nodded, and said: "I heard that the old man is looking for cotton that will survive the winter and not die. You think it is a coincidence that there is such a plant in my field. So I came to tell the old man!"

This kind of plant that survives winter and never dies is not easy for ordinary people to see. However, Zhang Wei had already issued a notice to find this kind of cotton. The old farmer came to report immediately after seeing it.

This is also because of Zhang Wei's super reputation in Tianmen County, which has deeply won the hearts of the people, so this scene happened.

Not long after, Zhang Wei came out and followed the old farmer to his cotton field.

This old farmer is also a native of Laotianmen County, who used to make a living by grazing cattle.Later, he was also one of the first to switch to cotton. Now his family has hundreds of Guifang slaves to help him grow cotton. Although he is not the largest cotton farmer in Tianmen County, he is definitely the oldest.

Don't look at him dressed like an old farmer, in fact he is an old farmer, but a very rich old farmer.

He came to meet Zhang Wei on a horse, and that horse was worth thousands of gold!
Not long after, they arrived at the cotton field, where the old farmer's son and a dozen ghost slaves were surrounding a place.

Seeing Zhang Wei and the old farmer coming, they quickly saluted.

Zhang Wei waved to them, and saw a green cotton plant ahead.

In a piece of snow-white land that has not yet thawed, how attractive is such a green cotton plant.

The old farmer said with a smile: "I don't know how long it has been here. Anyway, after I found out, I asked my son to lead someone to guard it. I am afraid that someone or wild beasts and birds will cause disasters!"

Zhang Wei looked at the cotton plant, which seemed to sense Zhang Wei's presence, and immediately turned withered yellow again, and then slowly fell down.

When the old farmer saw it, he was shocked and said, "This...how is it dead! It was fine just now!"

The old farmer thought the cotton had suddenly died!
Zhang Wei quickly said: "Old man, don't worry, this cotton is lying to you! It is actually good. Yes, this is the cotton I want. Old man, you have solved my urgent need. What reward do you want?"

When the old man heard this, he quickly said: "It's my honor to help the old man. I don't dare to ask for anything. It's just..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhang Wei, but still gritted his teeth and said: "It's my son who is worthless, I just want him to follow you, and he can be a servant who serves tea and water!"

Hearing his words, his son also looked at Zhang Wei eagerly.

When this person is rich, he will have higher pursuits.Now the old farmer's family is very rich, and he is not interested in other things, so he wants to get closer to Zhang Wei. On the one hand, he is following his thigh and has a head.On the other hand, it is also to keep one's own family business.

When Zhang Wei heard the old farmer's words, he burst out laughing immediately.However, it is not easy to take back what he said, so he asked: "Have you asked the old man's name yet?"

The old man immediately said happily: "Old man, my surname is Huo, my name is Huo Tian, ​​and my son's name is Huo Zhen."

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "In this case, if you don't mind, let your son come to my farm to study for a while, and then think about what to do with me, what do you think!"

When the old man heard this, of course he was 1 willing.The old man's son was also clever, he immediately knelt down and shouted: "My lord, Huo Zhen, I have seen the old man!"

The sound of master means that he is his own family!

Zhang Wei nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you all follow me!"

After returning home and arranging Huo Zhen, Zhang Wei took the cotton that was still in disguise to the big black pot.

Seeing Zhang Wei coming with a plant, the gourd vine immediately became alert, and immediately waved its branches to bluff.

Zhang Wei immediately scolded it: "Okay, it won't fight for food with you! Why are you like a dog, and you can protect food!"

Huang Dou listened nearby, glanced at Zhang Wei, and said, are you polite?

Zhang Wei took an empty flowerpot, took some soil from the big black pot, and planted the cotton.

The next moment, the cotton stood upright as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and its whole body turned emerald green again!
"I know you're pretending to be dead!" Zhang Wei laughed, and then said to Gourd Vine, "You can't bully it. If you bully it, I'll punish you later!"

After speaking, he put the pot of cotton next to the big blue pot.As long as you are next to this pot, you can get the growth boost of the big blue pot.

This cotton is also a person who has never seen the world, and is immediately attracted by this excellent living environment.It only felt a burst of strange power enveloping it, and there was fertile soil beneath it, which made it no longer frightened, but became extremely happy.

After that day, cotton took root here and began to grow ignorantly and happily.

Last night, Zhang Wei failed to practice.

Because the wives were angry, he practiced every night, which affected the couple's life!Today he was caught in the fox's den and went to appease some vixens.

This did it until midnight.Finally, the vixens were overworked and fell into a deep sleep.Zhang Wei wanted to sleep with him, but suddenly he felt something.

He walked out of the room, out of the yard, and came to the yard of gourd vines.

Then, he saw a vague figure watering gourd vines and cotton.

Zhang Wei thought it was Hu Susu or Chen Zhirui, but when he took a closer look, he found it wasn't either of them.

This figure was blurry and couldn't make out its appearance, but it was only vaguely recognizable as a human figure.

When Zhang Wei walked in, the figure finally found Zhang Wei, he nodded to Zhang Wei, and then got into the big jar and disappeared.

When Zhang Wei saw this, he was a little surprised and said, "Could it be that the god of five grains appeared in ancient times?"

He walked over and saw that the cotton and gourd vines seemed to be greener, and the cotton had grown a little.

This is obviously a state that can only be obtained after getting excellent irrigation.

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is also a good thing." It is estimated that when he awakened the big jar, he also awakened a little bit of the ancient god of grains.

But the god has fallen after all, and this little bit of spiritual consciousness is just a residual obsession, and it can't accomplish any big things.Maybe it will help you water the flowers and plants when there is no one in the middle of the night.

In a blink of an eye, it was March again.

The planted cotton has been growing very well these days, and has already produced large cotton bolls, and there are so many of them, it seems like a clump of lush flowers.

In fact, the blooming cotton is also very beautiful, snow-white and snow-white.

Under the nourishment of the big pot or the ancient god of grains, the cotton actually blossomed in more than two months.

After admiring the cotton for a few days, Hu Jubai picked off the cotton bolls, and then took out the cotton, leaving the seeds behind.

Cotton is going to be spun into silk, and seeds have to be planted to see if better cotton can be grown.

The thread spinning was of course done by Xiaoqi from Baigongyan.When it is spun into thread, they blend cotton thread and spider silk to weave a new flag!This way, more flags can be woven!
