Chapter 112 Only a gentleman can become a gentleman
"Really?" Meng Yi said in shock.
Qin An nodded and said: "Yes, one is simple and safe, called a hot air balloon. There is also a gliding kite.
I can't make a hot air balloon because I don't have the materials, and it's very expensive. With my salary, I can't afford it.
So I suggested using a hang gliding kite, which I can make and which is available at the venue. "
Then Qin An pointed to the mountain and continued: "The top of this mountain is flat, high enough, and the slope is okay.
Give me a few days and after making the gliding kite, I will let you feel the feeling of flying. "
"Okay, it's all down to you, sir." Ying Zheng said.
Meng Yi and others also looked expectant, but Fusu looked unhappy.
Qin An smiled and said: "Okay, it's settled. Now everyone goes to work."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Zhao Su, come with me, I have something to tell you."
"promise."
Fusu followed Ying Zheng to Ying Zheng's room.
Before leaving the stone table, Ying Zheng took the world map away directly. No one complained, not even Qin An. It was just a world map. He could draw as many as he wanted.
After Ying Zheng and his son left, Qin An looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zhao Yun, are you taking Meng Li and Zhao Lu to visit the village? They haven't seen the products in the village yet."
"No." Young Master Gao responded.
Qin An then walked towards Meng Li and Zhao Lu and said, "You can take anything in the village that you think can be sold, and you can tell Zhao Yun how much you want.
Zhao Yun, take notes. This first business must be done well. Customers come first. Then the business will grow bigger and bigger, and you will earn yourself a fortune in the future. "
"No." Gongzi Gao responded again.
Young Master Gao didn't take it seriously whether he had property or not, but it was true that he had learned Qin An's skills.
Immediately, Gongzi Gao took Meng Yi and Jiang Lu to visit the village.
Only Gong Shuyang and Qin An were left at the scene.
"Mr. Gongshu, please wait a moment. I will bring you the drawings of the waterwheel." Qin An said.
"Thank you sir." Gong Shuyang said respectfully.
In his eyes, Qin An seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil. At first, he despised Qin An. The lantern, the things he just said and the world map made him feel that Qin An was unfathomable.
At this time, Gong Shuyang didn't know what mentality would be better to face Qin An.
Qin An ignored Gong Shuyang's mentality and went back to his room. He took the waterwheel design and came to Gongshu Yang.
"This is the drawing I'm talking about. There are full drawings, three-dimensional drawings, and exploded drawings. Mr. Gongshu, take your time and look at it. I'll leave for a while." Qin An said.
"No." Gong Shuyang said casually.
After Gong Shuyang took the drawing, he looked at it wholeheartedly, Qin An was no longer in his eyes.
Qin An didn't care, because a truly professional person only sees professional things and cannot tolerate other things.
…
In Ying Zheng's room.
Ying Zheng repeated the suggestions that Qin An had given.
Fusu said in shock: "Father, do you want your son to manage a county?"
"That's right, haven't you always wanted to implement your benevolent government, the Confucian enfeoffment system? I will give you a chance, as long as you can manage the county well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, it will be better than the current Great Qin.
Then I will no longer care about you and release the 500,000 prisoners in Lishan. What do you think? "Ying Zheng said.
"Okay, I agree." Fusu agreed without thinking.
"So when I go back, you go back with me." Ying Zheng said.
"No," Fusu responded, "But how should we deal with it sir? We can't tell him the truth."
"I have my own opinion, you don't have to worry about it."
"promise."
…
Gongzi Gao took Zhao Yun and Jiang Lu to visit the whole village, and was shocked by the workshops in the village.
Meng Yi said: "All the villagers in the village have gone to work in the workshops, so what will happen to the fields? Will they be abandoned?"
The young master smiled and said: "Meng Yi, have you forgotten the plow? There are also hoes and other agricultural tools. In addition, the autumn harvest time has not yet come, and now the villagers have nothing to do, so they might as well go to the workshops to work.
The husband said that this is called maximizing the benefits of surplus labor. Instead of wasting this labor, it is better to let them do some work and earn some money to support the family. "
Meng Yi nodded and said: "It seems to be the truth."
For a while, Meng Yi couldn't find anything to refute, and the things produced by the workshops were very useful. It would be a pity to abandon these workshops because of the lack of manpower.
Finally, Meng Yi took a fancy to the Four Treasures of the Study, a lot of ironware, and more importantly, refined salt.
After seeing the salt-making workshop, they were surprised by the technology inside. The method turned out to be so simple.
Just break the brine salt into pieces and dissolve it, then filter it until the brine becomes clear and transparent.
Finally, put the clear salt water into a large pot and boil it until the salt water is dried up, and snow-white salt appears.
The final step is to grind the salt into a fine powder.
In Meng Yi's eyes, this step can be completely omitted, and the coarse salt can still be sold at a good price.
"I didn't expect that the method of making salt is so simple. Why can't we figure it out? It's really a treasure trove without knowing the treasure." Meng Yi said.
The young master smiled and said: "That's why you can be a gentleman, Meng Yi, you can only be Meng Yi."
Jiang Lu said: "Second brother, what you said is too profound for me to understand."
"I'm going to make you dance with a gun every day and not study hard." Young Master Gao said angrily.
Meng Yi said: "Master Jiang Lu, what I just said is that you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so you are called sir. I, Meng Yi, can only become Meng Yi, and there is no way to become sir."
"Hey, what's the big deal? As long as you, second brother, learn all the skills of a gentleman, you can become a gentleman." Jiang Lu said.
Young Master Gao glanced at Jiang Lu angrily and said, "Sir, he started studying at the age of eight and continued until he was over thirty.
If I want to learn it, it will take at least twice as long as my husband. "
"What?" Jiang Lu was shocked, "The reason why Mr. Sir has achieved this at such a young age is because he has been studying since he was eight years old.
Eight years old? Second brother, I’m afraid we were still playing when we were eight years old. "
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just playing." Gongzi Gao said. "Okay, I don't need to worry about this anymore.
You don’t need to take away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Li Si has already built a workshop in Xianyang City. It is estimated that when you go back, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone will already be popular in Xianyang City.
There is no need to bring the spatula with you. Next time you come, bring a few people who know cooking skills to learn cooking skills from Mr. You can take them away when the time comes. "
