Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97

In the afternoon, Liu Hongjian had already forgotten about Lao Fang's illness. He was still thinking about the situation in Meng County. It had been half a day and there was no news from Meng County, which made Liu Hongjian murmur. .

Could it be that there is more silver?The so-called imperial merchants have not made a fortune yet?Or are they cherishing wealth like their lives, and are not willing to exchange money for their sons?This is too insane!

"Uncle! Is Uncle here?" Just as he was thinking, a cry came from outside.

The north room is the residence of Liu Hongjian. Liu Hongjian occupies an important position, and this is a place of right and wrong. Without Liu Hongjian's permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave at will.

Although Niu Dabangchui knew that the person in front of him was the son of the county magistrate, he still refused to let him go, and Xiao Fang shouted outside the yard in a hurry.

Liu Hongjian let go of what was on his mind, got up and walked towards the outer courtyard.

"Oh? Did it work so quickly? Let's go and have a look!"

Liu Hongjian was also very happy, not because he wanted to see the old prescription, but because he wanted to confirm the curative effect of modern medicine on this wind-cold disease.

There are a lot of wealthy old nobles in the capital. Seeing that winter is approaching, many people feel sorry for themselves, fearing that they will not be able to survive this severe winter.

Although Xungui's family property is quite rich, and there is a charcoal fire at home to keep warm in the cold winter, what he fears most is catching the cold when he goes out.

It's better to be young, but if you are old, even if you have a million dollars, you still have to go to hell.

If this white plus black really works like this, it will be another way to get rich when you return to the capital.

Well, it sells for 1 taels per box, no, no, it has to be sold by piece...

While walking, Liu Hongjian thought maliciously.

"I pay my respects to Uncle, thank you for saving my life!" Although County Magistrate Fang was still very weak, he insisted on getting up and getting out of bed to thank Liu Hongjian.

Fang Jingzi supported his old father, and wanted to kneel down to salute Liu Hongjian.

"Old Fang, please hurry up, some small things, we are old acquaintances, why are you so polite!" Lao Fang was almost seventy, he couldn't afford a big gift from an old man, so he hurried forward to help the two of them.

"Yesterday, the old man had a premonition that the end was coming. Thanks to uncle's magic medicine, I can drink for a few more years!" With Fang Jingzi's support, the old man lay back on the bed again, looking weak, and did not forget to make a joke .

"Wine is such a thing, County Magistrate Fang is getting old, it's better to drink less!

Can your father continue to take the medicine? "Liu Hongjian asked about Fang Jingzi.

"Uncle, according to your instructions, I have crushed two black pills for my father! I have just taken them!" Fang Jingzi replied hastily.

"Well, that's good, but since County Magistrate Fang is already awake, there's no need to mash it up and take it. You can drink it directly with warm water. Isn't it bitter to mash it up and take it?"

When he was a child, Liu Hongjian had a cold and a fever. He would rather have injections and infusions than take medicine. The reason is very simple, the medicine is too bitter.

"Hehe, Uncle was joking. This is a life-saving medicine. Not to mention it is bitter, even if it tastes bad, I can still drink it. Besides, this medicine is not as bad as the old man's soup two days ago?"

In ancient times, as long as you were sick, whether it was a cold, fever, or headache and stomachache, you would always boil soup and medicine. A large casserole of water was added with a bunch of various medicinal materials and boiled for two hours.

It is not finished until the water in a large casserole is boiled into half a bowl. The taste of the dark soup can be imagined!
"Well, the old county magistrate should rest at home, take the black pill and sleep through the night, and Benbo promises that you will be alive and well again in the morning!"

Liu Hongjian was also extremely happy after verifying the curative effect of Baijiahei, and even wanted to put aside this border affair and go back to Beijing to earn money.

"Oh, by the way, your son is not young anymore. I don't know where he is now?" Liu Hongjian said suddenly.

"Oh, to tell you the truth, Uncle, my son failed the exam several times, and he is still a sour scholar.

It's all because the old man didn't discipline him well, which made him fall into bad habits..." The old county magistrate lay on the bed and said in a low voice.

"Father..." Fang Jingzi was in his thirties, so it was embarrassing to be complained by his old father.

"Don't let me tell my father, look at the backyard, it's turned into a carpenter's shop by you!" Interrupted by his son, the old Fang immediately became angry.

"Uncle, don't you know that my son has been ignorant since he was a child, and he doesn't like to read the books of sages, but likes to tinker with the work of those humble carpenters. He tinkered with the weird things in the backyard of.

You are still embarrassed!Tell me about you, now you are in your thirties, and you haven’t even married a daughter-in-law for your father. There are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the biggest. Are you going to let our old Fang’s family have an offspring?Cough...cough...cough..."

When talking about his son's bad habits, Lao Fang was furious. After talking about it, Lao Fang stopped breathing and coughed non-stop.

"Father, don't be angry, I know I was wrong, as long as my father recovers from his illness, son... I will give up that job!" In front of Liu Hongjian, Fang Xing said something that made Fang Jingzi ashamed.

carpenter?This little Fang still has this hobby. Liu Hongjian couldn't help but think of Zhu Youxiao, the elder brother of Zhu Youjian, a famous carpenter emperor in the Ming Dynasty.

In all fairness, Zhu Youxiao's carpentry work is still very good. Later generations heard that Emperor Tianqi's carpentry level was not inferior to that of Lu Ban.

Emperor Tianqi once asked eunuchs to sell his works outside the palace, and almost all of them were bought by those who knew the goods with a lot of money. In addition to carpentry, Emperor Tianqi was also good at carving, and all wood carvings and jade carvings had reached the point of perfection.

Master Zhu's works of various ship models, furniture, lacquerware, inkstone beds, comb boxes, etc. are of artistic value. It is said that he once built a miniature miniature palace, which is about four feet high, exquisite and ingenious, and superbly crafted.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't read big characters, so he is not so much an emperor as a living "Luban" who was delayed by the emperor's career.

"There's nothing wrong with loving being a carpenter! Lao Fang, you really are, do you know how to do 360 skills, and you can be the best in every skill?" Liu Hongjian teased.

Liu Hongjian suddenly had a bold idea. With a thought, he reached out and took out a stack of blueprints from his pocket, and handed them to Fang Jingzi, who was looking embarrassed.

"See if you can understand it. If you can make it, Uncle Ben promises you a bright future!" Liu Hongjian said seriously.

What he just took out was the blueprint of the "Spinning Jenny" in the "Basics of Light Industry" that he brought from the library.

As the beginning of the first industrial revolution in Europe, the spinning jenny machine has an eight-fold increase in spinning capacity compared with the old-style spinning machines, and its efficiency has increased by more than ten times compared with today's hand-spinning in the Ming Dynasty.

The first spinning jenny was made in 1764, a full 120 years later than it is now.

If you can fiddle with this thing and open a textile factory or something, wouldn't it be difficult not to earn money?

Fang Jingzi took the drawings and examined them carefully one by one, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling, as if bewitched.

focus!It is the most important quality of a craftsman!Of course Liu Hongjian recognized this expression, and he didn't bother him while sitting at the table.

"Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, this thing should be used for spinning! It's just that it looks strange, and I've never seen it before.

However, this blueprint is extremely detailed, as long as you give me time, it must be... Well, I promise, it can be made! "

Fang Jingzi looked at the drawings carefully and said with certainty.

"Okay, I mean what I say. If Brother Fang can make this spinning machine, I will give you a lot of rewards. At that time, I will open your father's eyes. A carpenter has a future!"

After speaking, Liu Hongjian looked at Lao Fang, and found that Lao Fang was still asleep. After eating white and black, he slept really soundly!

Waiting for Liu Hongjian to explain something more, Chen Mingyu, the flat-headed brother, came in from the outside.

"My lord, there is news from Meng County!"
