Reborn Peasant Girl: I Rely on Carpentry as Minister of Industry

With Mr. Song's promise, Landlord Shen immediately opened his wallet to place an order. The boss has already spoken, so why hesitate? "Chang'an, I still want eight." For a few hundred acres of land, the number eight is very suitable, and it is auspicious if it is not too much or too little.

"But how should the price be set?" Hong Lizheng was more concerned about this. Looking at the several large iron bumps on the threshing machine, it must not be cheap, and he was not sure if he could afford it.

Iron is controlled, and the price is very expensive, so that fewer people can afford it, which is equivalent to reducing the number of sharp weapons scattered among the people, and naturally achieves the effect of reducing social unrest.

Even rich people need to report to the government if they buy a large number of iron-containing tools.

Mr. Song should be able to handle this matter together, right?However, the iron of the eight threshing machines is not too much, and it is Blacksmith Jiang who needs help.

At this moment, Blacksmith Jiang also looked at Jiang Changan expectantly. The threshing machine can have a good price, and his family's prosperity is just around the corner. If the price of one set is ten taels, and the cost is six taels, then the remaining four The two families are divided equally, which is too profitable!

However, Jiang Changan looked at Master Song, "Teacher?" The market price of iron is nothing more than that, but Jiang Changan is not yet able to evaluate the comprehensive value of the threshing machine, because she does not understand this era.

Master Song only thought for a few seconds before giving the answer, "Just eight taels." This important technology is better in the hands of the government.

The threshing machine is more expensive, so fewer farmers can afford it, but the government can rent it out, and it is feasible to directly pay gold and silver, or count it in the tax.

For example, a village can put a few to a dozen threshing machines, and the villagers can use them by paying the rent. The costs paid by the farmers are reduced, and the government also benefits, killing two birds with one stone.

"However, a few units can be placed in the village, and the villagers can rent them out. I think the imperial court is more willing to operate in this way."

Because of this operation, the flow of iron into the private sector has been relatively reduced, but productivity has increased, and tax revenue has naturally followed.

Hong Lizheng's eyes lit up, this method is good, although, "I'll buy one too." Eight taels!The flesh hurts to death.

But as a Li Zheng, he must be fair and just, and he can't always prioritize himself, right?So you still have to own it, and when you finish harvesting the rice, you can also rent it out, and you will be able to pay back the cost in a few years.

"But this threshing machine should be able to be used for a long time, right?" If the lifespan is too short, it will not be worth it, Hong Li was worried.

"Of course, I will make some gear oil later to lubricate and maintain all the iron parts, and it can also reduce friction, so that the life of the machine can be extended indefinitely, and there will be no problem passing it down for generations."

If you are still farming for generations, the threshing machine is undoubtedly a treasure.

"Alright, alright, Chang'an, assemble it quickly, I'll find someone to carry one back with me, and promote it to you, trying to sell a few more."

Eight taels of silver!The cost is four or five taels at most, right?Then there will be a profit of three or four taels, the Jiang family is about to get rich, Hong Lizheng is envious of that, but he has no intention of being jealous, he is very aware of his own weight, people are the most jealous of greed.

But Mr. Song disagreed, he still had more important things to do for his young disciples, "No, no, you and Shushen can assemble according to the blueprints yourself. The old man in Chang'an is going to take the pictures for drawing, and this news must be sent to Beijing immediately. , without delay.

Remember to leave a pair of accessories out, this should be sent away with the letter. "Because the summer harvest is coming soon, more grain can be harvested quickly, and farmers can save a lot of money.

Master Song pulled Jiang Changan away without waiting for the others to agree.

The big guys looked at each other in blank dismay, the masters are not here, so they have a group in their hearts, how can they fix it? "Shu Shen." Hong Li was just about to say something.

Seeing Li Shushen's last movement click, a threshing machine was officially installed by him, "Huh? What? Why don't you pretend? It's very simple and fun."

Come and be a coolie. It is fun to assemble one or two of this kind of thing, but it will be numb if you install too much. Who cares, you have to pull more people into the water.

Li Shushen looked at the public with an expression that you are fools, isn't it possible for such a simple thing?real or fake?
In the front yard, Master Song did not drag Jiang Changan to the private school, but moved the table to the eaves next to old man Jiang. The light here is bright and cool, and it is the best place to draw pictures.

"Chang'an, is the threshing machine ready? Is it working well?" The old man Jiang almost couldn't sit still when he heard the commotion and cheers from the backyard. He stayed on crutches to watch the fun.

Fortunately, Jiang Changan appeared in front of him soon, otherwise, he would still have to endure the itching of ants.

"It's not bad, grandpa, don't worry, Chang'an will go out and succeed immediately, and this year's summer harvest will definitely be very easy."

Jiang Changan used a wooden ruler and charcoal pencil to draw pictures while answering the old man Jiang's questions without any delay. Who told her to have a complete set of drawings in the system, with one, two or three pages marked, just follow the drawing.

Master Song was immediately envious, this dual-purpose, how skilled is the little guy in drawing? "I can't make a mistake, right? This blueprint is going to be presented to the imperial court, so be careful."

When old man Jiang heard this, he immediately didn't dare to disturb Jiang Changan by speaking, but he was even more excited in his heart, Yuqian?Does that mean his granddaughter is drawing blueprints for the emperor now?
ah!Smoke is rising from the Jiang family's ancestral grave!Ancestors bless!
"Don't worry, teacher, this blueprint has been drawn by Chang'an, and you can draw it with your eyes closed. You can compare it with the blueprint in the backyard and you will know."

Jiang Changan should not draw too easily, with just a few strokes and a few words, she can draw a blueprint, but it is just a matter of a few lines, how difficult it can be.

Master Song was almost jealous of his little disciple, alas, well, well, he is old, and his thinking cannot keep up with the activeness of young people.

Old man Jiang was smiling, what should I do, he was actually very excited, but he just didn't feel uncomfortable, and sure enough, he was in good spirits on happy occasions.

"Chang'an, you must paint well." Because the emperor wants to see it, this is an honor.

"Hmm." There were always people who questioned her professionalism, and Jiang Changan was helpless.

Casually, the old man Jiang thought again, "Chang'an, how many threshing machines do you want to produce? Can you send one or two to your aunt's house? Her family has a lot of fields. If you have a threshing machine, it will save a lot of money." .”

Aunt Jiang is old man Jiang's youngest daughter, and her childhood sweetheart's classmate who is married to her is Tian Xiaowu from Tada Town.

Tian's family has six or seven hundred acres of land, which is more than that of the landlord's family in the village, but there are five brothers in their family, and Mrs. Tian is also the youngest son in the family.

Auntie Jiang's young couple is hard to describe. They are young people with willful capital.

The old man Jiang sent the threshing machine, in fact, it was a bit of flattery and apology to his in-laws.

Jiang Changan was still drawing the blueprints, and replied without thinking, "Okay." The two threshing machines were nothing more than two, and she could easily do it. Who told the old man to open his mouth.

Moreover, the sister-in-law in my memory is still very good, I don't dislike her as a little fool, I used to take care of her often, even after I got married, I often bought clothes and snacks for my nephews and nieces.

Mr. Song was surprised. Does Jiang old man not know the value of the threshing machine?Even if there is only one for the emperor, you will have twice as many if you open your mouth.

Xiashou was just around the corner, and the threshing machine at this time was quite precious.

"Old Jiang really loves his daughter." Mrs. Song suddenly had a little bad thought.

The old man Jiang didn't understand, so he said, "Hey, the youngest child in the family, it is inevitable to feel distressed, and she is a disaster at the in-laws, cough! The in-laws have taken care of them all these years, and the parents must thank them one or two.

Hehe, this is a normal family relationship, it should be, it should be. "

Master Song also smiled normally, "Hehe, yes, life is getting better for Jiang's family now. The threshing machine is only eight taels of silver, and there is no pressure to send three or four." Finally, Master Song said maliciously. Quoted the price of the threshing machine.

"Hehe, yes, the threshing machine is only eight..'Plop'." With a wrong eye, the old man Jiang fell off the reclining chair.

"Grandpa?!" Jiang Changan was startled, how do you always do it?Can you lie down on a good recliner?

Jiang Chang'an got up quickly, but Mr. Song stopped her. He was careless, but in the end it affected Chang'an's drawing. Who knew that old man Jiang could not bear it so badly?

"Old Jiang, are you okay?" Mrs. Song stepped forward and helped Old Jiang to his feet.

"Eight or eight taels of silver for a threshing machine?!" Is the threshing machine made of silver?Why is it so expensive?Old man Jiang was shocked.

"Yeah, it's very cheap, right? Think about those beds, tables and chairs, one can sell for hundreds or thousands of taels."

For example, the furniture dowry of the daughter of County Magistrate Chen was worth ten thousand taels, which was much more expensive than ordinary families in the capital.

It's just the daughter of a county magistrate, so I don't need to say much about the meaning of this. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there is something wrong with the county magistrate.

"This, this, this, it's different, it's made of very precious wood, and it's made by a master, and it took several years to carve." It can be sold for tens of thousands of taels, but everyone can accept it, because it's art Well, people sell half of it for fame.

"What's the difference? Half of this threshing machine is made of iron, and it's made with advanced technology. It's already very cheap to sell for [-] taels."

It's just that it is sold to farmers, and the most expensive is this price.

"Yeah, what about Dabayin, Ba, how about, Changan, let's not give the threshing machine to your aunt." It's a little too much, and their Jiang family is actually not so rich, right?

Although I have a little money, my family is still building a house, and there are so many children studying
"It's okay, my lord. Eight taels is the selling price. In fact, the cost is only a few taels of silver. Our family has to give my aunt a face and support occasionally."

Aunt Jiang goes to her mother's house to pick things up all the year round. Does the in-laws have any objections?Can sisters-in-law have no opinion?It's just that the Tian family is too lazy to argue with the two.

But if there is a reward, then Aunt Jiang will not be looked down upon by others, so she can continue to use her beauty to commit murder.

"That, that, let's just have one, two are too many." As soon as the quantifier "tai" came out, old man Jiang realized that he had made a huge mistake. The threshing machine was definitely not a gadget, and it had already reached the level of a machine.

"It doesn't matter, two sets are two sets, my sister-in-law has a lot of land, so I can use it."

During the chat between the few people, Jiang Changan quickly wrote two sets of drawings and operating procedures for the threshing machine, which was useful to Mr. Song.

Plus a set of engine oil processing formula, and this engine oil can be used on other ironware, such as weapons.
Master Song's face gradually became serious. This little disciple must not have learned these things from his books.

She was dumb before, but after being struck by lightning, she suddenly woke up and won No.1 in the essay examination. If she was pretending to be stupid before, then it is impossible for her to have so much experience and wisdom, right?

There is only one possibility. Like the first queen, she was favored by Thor and received the inheritance of wisdom.

So, the same for Li Shushen?Because that kid not only became firmer, but also improved in kung fu.

But Master Song didn't know that Li Shushen's kung fu was already superior to all of them.

The master's prophecy was indeed correct, the Wisdom Star was in the south, and it just came out from the mountain. Didn't expect it to be a village on the mountain?It's too coincidental, isn't it?
Mr. Song recalled when he first came to Shanshang Village, he saw these children who were so ordinary and stupid, it was hard to describe them in words, who would have thought that they would become talents in the end?
But he still devoted himself to cultivating these children, because it was his sustenance.

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, and he finally waited.

No, these two children are related to Da Song's future, he must protect them well, and they are still his disciples.

"Okay, leave the things to me, the teacher will definitely earn you virtuousness and honor, work hard, kid."

Jiang Changan nodded obediently. In fact, she is still young and fame does not matter.

Master Song's heart was soft, such a good student, he patted Jiang Chang'an's head, and returned to the private school with a bag of threshing machine parts and blueprints.

In the study, apart from the mute, there are several men in black standing by.

"Mute slave, you take half of the cavalry on the road, personally hand over the parts of the threshing machine and the letter to the emperor, set off immediately, without stopping, and must be delivered as quickly as possible."

Master Song ordered solemnly, and he would be relieved only if the dumb slave came out.

"Master, what do you do?" He left, who will take care of the master, what is more important than the master's personal safety, anyway, these are the affairs of the court, and the master is no longer welcome there, even the emperor .

"Don't worry, I still have half of the manpower to protect it, which is enough." If it is not enough, then the matter will be a big deal, even if the dumb slave stays, it will be of little use.

"I still have Chang'an, Shushen, and Shanshang Village. It's okay. You can go there without worry. Be careful on the road. If there is an accident, it's important to save the lives of your own people. If the mission fails, we can start all over again.

But if you lose all of you, Master Song suddenly can't continue. The past is vivid in his memory. It's not easy for everyone to come to this point together. Who made him have too much power.

Moreover, there are actually not many people who can accompany him here, and they are all his most important people.

Once their power comes out this time, there is actually a risk of being exposed, and I am afraid that the days to come will not be peaceful.

"Master, please don't worry, we know how to do it, you have to take care." The mute's voice choked up several times, because he also remembered his former brothers.

"Well, you go, have a safe journey."

As soon as Mr. Song finished his words, the dumb people kowtowed goodbye to Mr. Song, after all, it was a long journey.

After a few swipes, several figures were lost on the spot.

"Xiao Er." Master Song summoned other people.

Swipe, a thin black figure appeared, knelt down on one knee, "What are your orders, master." The voice sounded quite young.

"You assign a few people to follow Chang'an, Shushen, Shikang and others, and you must protect them well, but you don't need to appear in front of them until your life is dying.

Also, Shushen's kung fu should not be bad, so be careful when you follow him, so as not to be discovered by him. "Otherwise, the effect of experience will not be achieved.

"Yes, master." The black-clothed errand retreated.

Only then did Master Song take out another blueprint and formula, and wrote a letter, planning to send it to County Magistrate Chen tomorrow, because he still needs to apply for a piece of iron, and it would be impossible without this blueprint.

Moreover, the threshing machine also needs the support and promotion of the government to truly benefit the people.

This time, Mr. Song will follow up the process of the matter carefully, and must watch the county magistrate Chen carry out the task well, and not let him use the threshing machine to use power for personal gain.
