This mountain is mine

Chapter 83 The Importance of Beds

Yu Miaomiao looked at the quaint and secluded courtyard house built against the mountain in front of her, with puzzled eyes, "What are you doing here?"

On the plaque hanging on the mahogany gate in front of the house, there are four gold-plated characters: Fangling Academy.

Didn't you bring her to make a bed?He even came to the academy.

"You'll know when you go in." Zhao Man couldn't help but say, he dragged him to a secluded place on the side, and easily climbed over the wall with Yu Miaomiao in his arms.

Avoiding the sound of human language reading aloud nearby, walking through the flowers and trees like a thief, turning left and right, Yu Miaomiao was already pulled dizzy, and didn't care about admiring the scenery of Fangling Academy.

It wasn't until he walked around a piece of green bamboo, heard the sound of gurgling water, and pushed open a bamboo door that was concealed in front of him, that he slowed down his pace.Unexpectedly, there is another hole behind the bamboo gate. As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a wooden waterwheel, and the sound of water flow heard earlier comes from here.

Seeing the waterwheel, Yu Miaomiao's eyes lit up. The waterwheel was built next to a rockery. The water flowing down from the rockery fell on the waterwheel, driving the waterwheel to rotate. The waterwheel rotated to a high place and poured all the water into a Once the wooden basin is placed, another bamboo tube connects the wooden basin and the rockery, leading the water to the rockery, and then flows out from the rockery to the waterwheel, and so on.

To be able to make this waterwheel, this person is also a wonderful person.

When they walked around the waterwheel, they heard someone's voice, and the two followed the voice. As soon as they approached, they heard a joyful voice, saying, "Sir, the characters made of peach wood have not deformed after being exposed to water. Look at the seal." The handwriting is clear and easy to separate from the ink, we succeeded!"

Another calm voice couldn't hide the joy, "It's indeed much better than the previous one. Your hard work these days has not been in vain. Compared with the previous method of engraving and engraving, single-character typesetting can be used repeatedly, and typos can also be replaced at any time. , the cost is much lower, which is a good thing for the benefit of the people!"

"Even mahogany is not cheap. It would be great if there are cheaper raw materials."

"You can always find something by groping slowly. Now it has been greatly improved than before."

Hearing this, Yu Miaomiao immediately remembered that Liu Yan and a student had talked about movable type printing at the gate of the academy earlier, it seemed that they had made a breakthrough.

With the printing technology, handwritten books won't make much money, and the income of the women in the Yu family will be reduced, but the printing technology is also a good thing. It promotes the spread of books, and she can also find a few more farm books. Book.

At the door, Yu Miaomiao pulled Zhao Man back, and asked in a low voice, "There are people inside, can you show up?"

Zhao Man frowned, "I'm just here to make a bed." It's not that he has other purposes in everything he does, this is aboveboard, and he doesn't need to avoid others.

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but dragged Yu Miaomiao to the door, knocked on the door, pushed the door open and went in.

A middle-aged scribe and three students wearing the same blue gown were sitting around it. When the scribe saw Zhao Man, his eyes flickered. He pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit first."

Zhao Man pulled Yu Miaomiao to sit down. Through a layer of veil, she looked at the four people as if no one else was there. Upon seeing them, she unexpectedly found an acquaintance, who was Liu Yan whom she met at the gate of the academy for the first time.

The scribe said to the three students again, "That's it for today, you go back first."

The three stood up and were rude, seeing that the scribe had no intention of introducing guests, they all left without looking sideways and closed the door behind them.

Afterwards, the scribe said a little excitedly, "You are here, the picture you showed me last time..."

He hadn't finished speaking when suddenly there was an urgent voice from outside the room, "Mr. Lang, the eldest lady is back, and she is arguing with the master, saying that the master doesn't care about her life, and doesn't lend a helping hand when the Zhang family is in trouble. Please go back." ..."

Immediately someone shouted, "What kind of place is this, don't make any noise, let's talk about family matters!"

Then the sound became quieter, and the footsteps hurried away.

Yu Miaomiao was thoughtful, when mentioning the Zhang family at this time, she could only think of the Zhang family, and that was Liu Yan's reprimand just now, probably because Liu Siting went back to her mother's house to make a fuss.

Previously, the Zhang family wanted to poison her whole family. If Dr. Qiu hadn't happened to be at her house, she might have died silently.

She had no power to fight back before, so she could only take advantage of Zhao Man's power. Now that the Zhang family has been suppressed, it is not as prominent as before. It is time for her to seek revenge from the Zhang family. Who wants the Yu family to die, maybe along this line, they can really find out the truth about the Yu family's collusion with the enemy and treason 16 years ago.

Yu Miaomiao was still thinking, the scribes had already started talking to Zhao Man, Yu Miaomiao came to his senses, and saw a blueprint that the scribes had brought out, it turned out that when Zhao Man talked about the terraced fields, he had to find someone to look at it. She also listened attentively to the person in front of her.

"This blueprint is really ingenious. I have discussed it with a few friends who are proficient in farming. It is indeed feasible to solve irrigation and drainage according to the method mentioned in the picture. Who drew this? Can King Li agree?" Recommend for me?"

"I came to you today not for drawings."

"Is there anything more important than this blueprint? Food is the most important thing for the people. If such fields can be developed in the mountains, it will be a good thing for the country and the people."

"Miaomiao. Draw him the bed you mentioned, and he will make it. It's on the table over there with the pen and paper."

Yu Miaomiao nodded, got up and walked to the table, picked up a brush and started to draw. Although the couch was simple, there was no such thing at this time.

Being able to make a circulating waterwheel, it should be easy to make a stretcher bed.However, I always feel that finding this person to make a bed is a bit like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

It's not just Yu Miaomiao who thinks so, the scribe couldn't sit still at first.

"Bed? You said you want me to make a bed? Is King Li trying to amuse me? Now we are talking about things that benefit the people, you let me..."

"The bed is also very important." Zhao Man interrupted him in a cold voice. Seeing that the scribe had something to say, he added, "Half of the time is spent on the bed."

The scribe was so blocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and he just stared at Zhao Man.

Zhao Man is not a person who likes to sit and waste time, he took the lead to break the silence, "You make the tools for irrigation and drainage of terraced fields, and you will use them in two months."

The scribe snorted, but agreed anyway. He also wanted to see what effect it would have when using it.

While they were talking, Yu Miaomiao also drew the bed.No matter how she looked, she looked like a fishing net propped up.

The scribe took it over, glanced at it, and said casually, "It took some thought, the wood for this frame must be stored for more than a year, otherwise it will be deformed, and the thickness of the brown rope is even. Before weaving, it needs to be soaked in hot water, stretched and softened, the most important thing is the strength, the bottom rope is tight, the surface rope is tight, the oblique rope is tight, the tenon is tight, and the pattern on the stretched surface is even..."

Yu Miaomiao sighed again and again, as soon as an expert made a move, he would know if there was one.

After the scribe finished speaking, he felt confident, and threw the blueprint aside, "I have nothing else to do, I'm going to get busy. I'll take this bed in ten days!"

Yu Miaomiao thanked him again and again, and he muttered dissatisfiedly, "You have reached this point, and you still have to worry about the bed, it's really troublesome."

Seeing that he agreed, Yu Miaomiao didn't care about his attitude.

At this time, Zhao Man said, "In addition, make a hundred sheets of this kind of mesh first. You don't need a wooden frame, and you can hang it between trees. You will need to increase the amount later."

The scribe was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and his tone lowered, "I understand. I will do it as soon as possible."

Yu Miaomiao looked at Zhao Man, with a serious expression on his face, "I'm going first, someone will come and get it."

After finishing speaking, he strode out, and Yu Miaomiao quickly followed, knowing that he didn't come here to make a bed for her.

Who is it for? Who wants to use a hundred cards and it is not enough, and they have to continue to add?
Thinking of a certain possibility, she felt a sudden suddenness in her heart, and looked up at Zhao Man's straight back, her mood suddenly became heavy.
