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

Eight threshing machines may seem like a lot, but once allocated, they are not enough.

Master Song sent one to Beijing, one to the county government office, one to Jiang Blacksmith, one to Hong Lizheng, two to Shen Landlord, and two to Aunt Jiang. In the end, it seems that there is no such thing as the Jiang family?
So there is an urgent need for a piece of iron, so early the next morning, Master Song took Jiang Changan, Li Shushen and Shen Shikang to the Yamen, this time in the Shen family's carriage.

Originally, Shen Yujiao had to keep up with her life and death, who made Li Shushen in the carriage, even if he has become an orphan now, it is equally rare, but Shen Shikang firmly refused.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Shushen's full attention is on Jiang Changan. His sister will only get deeper and deeper in this way, and there is no result in the end, and she can only suffer.

Originally, they were all still children, so how could they understand these illusory things like love and love, but they couldn't get what they wanted because of a momentary perception, which turned into obsession.

Therefore, it is better to rein in the precipice and stop the loss in time.

The carriage went smoothly all the way, and soon came to the county seat. The streets were still very lively, and people from all walks of life were still running around for their lives and never tired of it.

But, is the atmosphere a little different today?Most of the pedestrians on the street looked very serious, and they were in a hurry, feeling a little jittery.

Jiang Changan looked at the street scene while lying on the window of the carriage, and expressed his feelings, "Is there something important that we don't know about?"

When I sent my grandfather to the county for medical treatment the day before yesterday, maybe they were also anxious, so they didn't pay attention to the situation on the street at all.

Only now did I suddenly realize that few of the passers-by on the street had smiles on their faces, which was quite different from the scene when they came for the assessment the first time.

"I've heard that a criminal was beheaded by the county magistrate at the entrance of the vegetable market yesterday. The blood was spattered three times. It's really scary. It is said that he stole the treasures of the county magistrate's house."

The old Shentou who drove the car covered his mouth and said in a low voice, he often travels between the village and the county seat, and he is still very well informed.

Jiang Changan's eyes widened in shock, "Steal, steal something precious, to the point of beheading." Is this criminal law too harsh?

I'm afraid, they just stole the priceless emerald from County Magistrate Chen, the old boy might have done it just for this, Jiang Chang'an tugged on Li Shushen's sleeve.

Is it possible that this is the truth?
Unexpectedly, Li Shushen sneered, "You think highly of our county magistrate, as long as he is in a bad mood, he can kill anyone who is weaker than him."

This is a completely unprincipled county magistrate, and the people of Laichang County should have gotten used to it.

Master Song agreed with Li Shushen's words, "People are indeed such people, but they still need an excuse." No matter how arrogant and powerful officials are, they must make superficial efforts, otherwise they will not be convinced.

It seems that this lord has been in a bad mood recently, and they seem to have picked the wrong time to come to the door.

However, Shanshang Village and County Magistrate Chen had their own troubles, especially Li Shushen. He didn't know what he had in his hands to directly threaten the parents and officials in one place.

At this moment, a loud voice came from the teahouse on the side of the street, overwhelmed the noise on the street, and reached Jiang Changan's ears.

"Little master! Little master Jiang." A tall man in black shorts, with half of his body leaning out of the window, shouted at Jiang Changan, and kept waving his right hand, very enthusiastically.

The corners of Jiang Changan's mouth twitched, and those who didn't know thought it was calling a little nun. Wasn't this person Wang Escort who gave her 11 taels of silver back then?

Don't avoid it now? "Boss Wang." Jiang Changan also greeted the other party with a smile, be polite, he was once her big client.

"Master Jiang, come up quickly, let's have a good get-together first." Despite the abrupt invitation, Wang Biaotou even gestured to Jiang Changan, as if he was looking for her for something.

Although, in fact, Jiang Changan didn't quite understand that meaning.

But, perhaps finding useful information from Escort Wang would be better than them blindly breaking into the county government office, right?
"Then go." Master Song also had the same idea.

Recently, he is busy learning drawing, making salt with alkaline earth, presbyopic glasses, giant carts, firing pottery, carpentry, new ironmaking technology to improve the hardness and wear resistance of iron, and threshing machines, etc.

All kinds of skills, only you can't think of, there is nothing his little disciples can't do.

Of course, these things can't be handed over to Beijing all at once, otherwise Jiang Chang'an would be easily snatched away by his superiors. At present, Mr. Song only let his superiors know about alkaline earth salt making and grain threshing machines, and iron smelting has to be pushed back.

Anyway, other people can't tell whether the iron is good or bad with the naked eye. Only people who have used tools for a long time and Jiang Blacksmith can know, as long as other people don't pay attention to these details.

Busy with these things, Master Song hasn't checked the news about the county seat for a long time, and now he really doesn't know what's going on in Laichang County.

Master Song led a few people out of the carriage, walked towards the teahouse, and went directly to the second floor, where Escort Wang greeted them at the door.

"Master Song, long time no see, please hurry up." Of course, Wang Biaotou didn't have to avoid suspicion now, because Shanshang Village also offended County Magistrate Chen.

Escort Wang had a feud with County Magistrate Chen, so of course he always paid attention to each other's movements, so he received the news immediately.

In the private room of the teahouse, he cleared out the escort Wang's companions, "Everyone sit down, don't be too polite, I've heard everything about your village, as the saying goes, an enemy's enemy is a friend.

In this way, we are already friends, and with the grace of saving our lives last time, we are now a family, haha"

Escort Wang laughed loudly, looking very confident, it seems that he won the contest with County Magistrate Chen later.

"Hehe, what Wang Biaotou said is true, but the grace of saving lives is an exaggeration." Wang Biaotou is a loyal person, and Mr. Song still admires him very much.

"Hey, it's really a life-saving grace. If it wasn't for Jiang, the little master was called Chang'an, right? It's kind of friendly, can uncle call you like that?" Wang Biaotou really liked Jiang Chang'an very much.

The little girl looks exquisite and soft, and she has great abilities, but she is rare, so why isn't she her own child?
Jiang Changan nodded, as long as you are happy, it's just a title.

"Okay, Chang'an, come and have some snacks, you two children will also eat, Mr. Song, please drink some tea.

In fact, I am a rude person who doesn't understand tea at all, so I ordered the most expensive one in the store, and I can drink it if I want. "After Wang Biaotou said, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, showing his good mood without hesitation.

"Hehe, it seems that Biaotou Wang is a person who is in good spirits on happy occasions." Master Song knew tea, and savored it carefully.

"Haha, it's not that any happy event happened to me, but I'm happy to see that my opponent is unlucky." Well, it's his happy event to keep his escort.

Originally, he had given up hope, but who knew that the turn of events would turn around, and County Magistrate Chen was so devastated that he had no energy left to deal with him, which made the Escort go back to the first level.

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." This must be the purpose of their tea here.

Escort Wang also intentionally let Mr. Song know that they need to exchange information in order to better guard against the counterattack of the magistrate Chen.

At this moment, Biaotou Wang finally became more cautious, looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered.

"A major event happened in the yamen. It should be said that the magistrate Chen has something to do. He seems to have lost something very important. Recently, many people have been dispatched to look for it frantically.

First, he chopped down a gangster, and then seized several casinos and quarries, shipping at the wharf, causing complaints from several major merchants and heavy losses, so they joined forces to counterattack, and now they are in a hurry.

That's why he doesn't have time to take care of the soil salt in your mountain village. Compared with those small profits, it is obvious that his lost items are more valuable or life-threatening.

He didn't even pay attention to the newly opened bodyguard bureau under his command. After he tampered with the furniture last time, he arranged for bandits to ambush our bodyguard bureau.

But the number of bandits was more than half less than expected, so our Tiger's Mighty Bodyguard Bureau won, and this battle gave our Tiger's Mighty Bodyguard Bureau a new level of status in the arena. "

They were all forced out, and it was impossible to make Escort Wang grateful to County Magistrate Chen.

Master Song sighed, "Do you know what was lost?" Could it have something to do with Li Shushen's handle?
Mr. Song was wondering whether to have a good communication with Li Shushen, otherwise County Magistrate Chen would really go crazy and it would be bad if he was accidentally injured.

"I don't know. I heard that he has connections with high officials in Fucheng. Even most of the people in the yamen don't know about it." This shows the seriousness of the matter.

Jiang Changan and Li Shushen looked at each other. In the past few nights, there has been no rest on Baishi Mountain. Presumably, it was the county magistrate Chen who brought people to see the emerald.

Then it was discovered that something was missing. With such a large amount of wealth, who can swallow this breath?

Oh yes, there is also population registration and land survey. During the day, there are policemen and petty officials going door-to-door to confirm the population, and they also walk around the fields. They are really serious, busy and responsible.

Have you ever seen Yamen officials go to the countryside to do hard work?Those people are big masters, waiting for someone to serve them every day.

Of course, County Magistrate Chen didn't find any clues in Shanshang Village, so he went in a general direction, maybe it was a mess, the purpose was to muddy the water, take advantage of the opportunity to fish, divert attention, and disturb the opponent.

By the way, clean up some unpleasant things together?

It is not known what the county magistrate Chen's plan is, anyway, he must not be able to find the jade, but he does not know what it has to do with Fucheng.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, Jiang Changan and the others don't need jade right now, and they will build a Jinyufang in the future to consume the jade.

Li Shushen is still there, so Jiang Changan is not worried.

"Our Shanshang Village produces salt fields and saltpeter, but the quantity is not much. It may disappear after a period of time, and the ashes can also burn salt.

I have already written a book about this matter, presumably the formula will be popularized soon, and the profit is really not big. "After all, everyone knows something, but the court will also reduce a lot of income.

Presumably many people are not happy, right?But the emperor must be willing, because most of the salt is controlled by the family, and the local salt can increase the tax revenue of the treasury.

"Really, that would be great. I think the price of salt in the south should be lowered." It can't be reduced too much, and not all the soil can burn salt, and not every household has the time to burn salt.

Only the people at the bottom who can't afford salt do this job, which doesn't account for much of the market.

At least Wang Biao was the first dart runner, so he didn't have the time to burn the salt, and he couldn't sell it for money. It was really not worth wasting time.

"Hehe, when we came to the county for this matter, in fact, everyone has developed a new farm tool, and it has to be reported to the government office, so that they can purchase some more pieces of iron.

Wang Biaotou's family also has land, let me show you, maybe it can be of great help. Master Song took out the blueprints from the bookcase, put them on the table and spread them out for Wang Biaotou to have a look at.

When Wang Biaotou saw the blueprint, he was immediately interested. He understood the real appearance of this farm tool at a glance.

But, "Huh? Such a big farm tool? What is it for?" Wang Biaotou looked at it for a long time and couldn't understand the function of this big farm tool. The iron bumps are indeed used a lot, but if they are not practical, they will be wasted. Not as good as a sword.

"This is a threshing machine. You can use your feet to make the barrel roll, and put the ears of rice on the stalk up to thresh the grains. You don't have to work hard to thresh the grains, which can save at least [-]% of the work. "Master Song explained carefully to Biaotou Wang.

People treat them as a family, and of course they have to repay one or two, and the maintenance of the relationship requires exchanges.

"Oh, it looks pretty good. How much is it? I'll buy a few." In fact, Escort Wang couldn't see the real thing, didn't know how many things were there, and couldn't see the value. He just wanted to take care of Jiang Changan's business.

"Hehe, eight taels of silver, eight units have been sold, and we can only take on other business after reporting to the government and buying back a piece of iron.

But our purpose is to promote threshing machines to benefit farmers. The government will fund the production of threshing machines and rent them out to farmers. A small amount of rent will be taxed.

This is a preliminary idea, and it is unknown what the court will do. "However, Shanshang Village must have implemented it in this way.

When the villagers get the benefits, the news will naturally spread, and the threshing machines will be gradually promoted, which will naturally increase taxes.

Biaotou Wang was shocked, and looked at the blueprint carefully, because there was no size on it, so he couldn't tell the value, but, someone bought an eight tael farm tool, so it should be very useful, right?

"I'll buy eight too." A small 100 taels is affordable. If you can save [-]% of harvesting, you will earn it back soon.

Their Escort has thousands of acres of fields, and the eight sets are just for experimentation. If it is really useful, a dozen more sets will do.

It's really a good thing, if you order late, you will lose it.

"Don't be impatient, Escort Wang. We will discuss all matters after we return from the Yamen. Based on the relationship between the two of us, we will definitely keep any benefits for you."

"Yes, yes, thank you Mrs. Song, then I will accompany you to the yamen? There are people I know there who may be able to help." Wang Biaotou said enthusiastically, his attitude was even more enthusiastic than before.

The corners of Mr. Song's mouth twitched slightly, even if the people in your yamen are well-versed, it's useless, right?After all, Li Shushen threatened the county magistrate, and this matter is irreversible.
"Okay, let's go together." Just to satisfy his curiosity, let the head of the escort Wang see the different attitude of the county magistrate Chen.

A group of people walked out of the teahouse hand in hand, and walked towards the county government office.
