Matters at the shipyard cannot be resolved in a matter of seconds. Therefore, Li Shui was not in a hurry.
He asked the dung man: "Since you are here to apply for a patent, have you been to the patent office? Has the application been successful?"
The dung man sighed and said a little depressed: "I went there last night, but was kicked out."
Li Shui looked at the dung man with a look of regret.
This result was not surprising to him. This was a patent after all. What you say must be reasonable and stand the test. Otherwise, everyone can go play in the autumn wind.
Li Shui was not surprised, but Ji Nu was surprised. He asked doubtfully: "How is this possible? With your ability, how could you fail?"
Ji Nu said to Li Shui very sincerely: "Sir, the dung man does have some skills. He once had a farmland where he grew crops, and the growth was several times better than others."
As soon as Li Shui heard that it was about farming, he immediately became energetic and asked the dung man: "Is the patent you applied for related to farming?"
The dung man said: "Yes."
Li Shui immediately said: "Let's go inside the house, sit down and talk."
The dung man coughed dryly and said with some embarrassment: "Just say it here."
Ji Nu also said: "Yes, there is no need to go in."
Xiangli Zhu also nodded: "It should be ventilated outside."
Li Shui wiped his nose and wondered: What happened to these people? Quirky.
The dung man opened the small bundle on his body and took out packages one by one.
Li Shui became more and more confused as he looked at it, and asked with some uncertainty: "This thing looks like..."
The dung man said: "Yes, your guess is correct. This is human excrement. This one is pig excrement. There are also cow excrement, horse excrement, bird excrement..."
Li Shui: "..."
The dung man continued to introduce tirelessly: "The use of dung to fertilize fields has been around since ancient times. However, the villain discovered that different dung is actually different. Different dung is also suitable for different soil qualities."
"For example, this cow dung has a fine texture and contains more water. However, its fertility is slightly insufficient. When applied in the field, it is not as good as pig dung..."
"For example, in sandy soil, the soil is soft and difficult to store water. If you use bird droppings, the situation can be greatly improved..."
The dung man was still introducing tirelessly. Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "You said just now that your name is dung man? The word dung for dung man doesn't mean... dung for dung, right?"
The dung man was stunned for a moment and nodded bitterly.
He was a little desperate. I thought I finally had a noble person willing to listen to me. Unexpectedly, Ban Xian still interrupted him.
Yes, it is indeed bizarre to apply for a patent using these dirty things. But three generations of my ancestors and grandchildren have been doing this, and they can’t do anything else except this.
Just when Shi Weng was extremely disappointed, Li Shui suddenly said: "Talent, talent. How can such a talent be called such a name? I took it upon myself to change your surname to Tian Weng. How about you?"
The dung man was stunned and looked at Li Shui in surprise.
Li Shui asked: "Are you willing?"
The old man's eyes filled with excitement: "Yes, of course I do."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and said to Tian Weng: "Okay, very good. We, the Qin Dynasty, built our country on farming and war. Talents like you are exactly what the court needs."
Tian Weng was wrapped in happiness. He said with some disbelief: "Exiled Immortal, do you agree with the villain's words?"
Li Shui said: "I agree, of course I agree."
Tian Weng said again: "However, the villain has not finished listening to the words of the banished immortal."
Li Shui said: "It doesn't matter, even if I only heard half of it, I will know that you did the right thing. What's more, didn't you also do experiments in your hometown? Aren't your crops much better than others?"
Tian Weng said: "Yes, it is much better. But a few years later, my wife became seriously ill and had no choice but to sell the field in order to get medicine. Alas!"
Li Shui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I will buy it back. How about you stay in my Shangjun Villa?"
"I am planning to establish an agricultural college. If you cooperate with Miss Xianglizhu, I believe that your skills can feed countless people in the world."
Xianglizhu: "..."
Xiangli Zhu wanted to ask Li Shui why he didn't do research with this dirty old man himself.
But...she is naturally curious about unknown things. She knew about the manure fields. But are there so many ways to do this?
Why do different feces have different effects? Are there any subtle differences between them?
Suddenly, Xianglizhu remembered the magnifying glass.
If I use a magnifying glass, can I see clearly the inside of these things? Maybe we can find out why they fertilize fields...
Seeing Xiangli Zhu sinking into deep thought, Li Shui smiled proudly.
He said to Tian Weng: "There is no need to apply for your patent. The cycle is relatively long, and it is impossible to pass without evidence. You might as well try it here with peace of mind. When the results are obtained, I will personally accompany you. Go apply for a patent.”
Tian Weng was so excited that he fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Li Shui consoled him: "Why is this happening? Get up quickly, you will be your own family in the future."
Tian Weng wiped his tears and said to Li Shui: "I want to ask you a favor."
Li Shui nodded.
Tian Weng said: "The villain has a son. After the destruction of the Qi Kingdom, he was captured and sent to the military camp to do hard labor. He was responsible for transporting grain and grass and feeding the horses."
"Over the years, my father and son have been together often and apart. Not long ago, the villain received a message from a fellow villager, saying that my son was following a general named Zhao to fight in South Vietnam."
"It is said that there are a lot of mosquitoes there and there is a smoky atmosphere. Many sergeants were killed and injured. Especially the poor people who served in the army had heavy labor and poor diet. Therefore... I am afraid that my son is no longer here."
When Tian Weng said this, his tears couldn't stop flowing down again.
Li Shui looked at him with sympathy and said to Tian Weng: "The list of South Vietnamese dead and wounded sergeants has not been reported yet, so my son may not be dead."
Tian Weng shook his head, looking like he refused to believe it.
He said to Li Shui: "The villain has no other ideas. I just want someone to bring his body back to the immortal. The villain wants to bury him in his hometown and doesn't want him to live in South Vietnam."
Li Shui said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tian. I will write a letter to Zhao Tuo right now. If the person is still alive, he can be sent back. If the person is dead, I will help him organize a decent funeral."
Tian Weng thanked him repeatedly.
Li Wen asked Tian Weng: "What is your son's name?"
Tian Weng said: "It's called Dung Gold."
Li Shui smiled: "I should be Tian Jin in the future."
Later, Li Shui went to write a letter.
The letter was written very simply. After it was written, he ordered someone to ride a fast horse and send it to South Vietnam immediately.
Wu Jiao walked to Li Shui and whispered: "Sir, it is your Majesty's order for the sergeant to follow Zhao Tuo to South Vietnam. Although your Excellency is a banished immortal, I am afraid it is not easy to let someone come back casually. In this case, Isn't it a violation of the rules? I'm afraid other soldiers will complain."
Li Shui shook his head: "This Mr. Tian, don't think that he has a low status. If his skills are used properly, he can save countless lives. For such a great contribution, not to mention saving his son, even being awarded a title is not an exaggeration. .”
Li Shui breathed a long sigh of relief and whispered: "I hope his son is still alive."
Wu Jiao asked curiously: "Does an old man really have such great abilities?"
Li Shui hummed: "We'll see."
…………
Wang Wan borrowed money from ten courtiers in total and received a total of 50 million yuan. In other words, each of these courtiers spent an average of five million yuan.
Although the courtiers were from well-off families, their official positions were not as high as Wang Wan's. His time as an official was not as long as Wang Wan's. The rewards he received were not as many as Wang Wan.
In order to please Wang Wan, they spent all the money they could.
Therefore, these five million are almost all their belongings. Some people even borrow money from others in order to show loyalty.
It was originally agreed. It will be returned in ten days and a half. Naturally, they had no doubts about Wang Wan's character. So I gritted my teeth and waited for half a month.
However... Wang Wan didn't mention repaying the money.
These courtiers were getting a little restless. Even if I beat them to death, I still can't believe that the Prime Minister would default on his debt. But...facts speak louder than words.
Some courtiers couldn't hold it any longer, so they went to Wang Wan and made a vague mention. But Wang Wan pretended not to understand, and changed the topic happily.
After the courtiers said goodbye and left, they became even more worried.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Prime Minister was really going to default on his debt.
These ten creditors gradually got together, and every day they had no other topic except guessing what happened to Wang Wan.
In the end, the ten of them made an appointment, and together they plucked up the courage to mention the matter to Wang Wan in a vague way.
Wang Wan's face turned red and he almost became angry with embarrassment.
The next day, Wang Wan ordered someone to send them some money. Not much per person, just one or two million dollars.
However, it is better than nothing. This money can temporarily solve the urgent need.
The creditors who got the money did not relax because what they got back was much worse than what they lent.
The creditor lied, and Wang Wan was also very distressed.
He also wanted to pay back the money and didn't want to be so embarrassed. But I really don’t have any money left in my hand.
What? Didn't Zhou Gui help him recover some of the medals by selling them?
It's a pity that after part of the money was paid off to the creditor, there wasn't much left. Wang Wan devoted herself to her own home.
It is impossible to maintain a large family without money.
There are so many people in the house. How much does it cost to dress and eat? How much does it cost to repair a house? How much does it cost to ride a horse?
Do you need to spend money to light a lamp at night? Do women need to spend money on rouge and gouache? Do you want to pay your official salary? After attending someone else's banquet, should you return the invitation?
The cost is too much, really too much. Especially after Li Shui appeared, he lectured today, sold wine tomorrow, and now sells cakes.
The expenses in the mansion are more than before.
Wang Wan sat in the study, thinking hard, how to persuade His Majesty in a subtle way to meet with some merchants? As long as His Majesty receives him again, those medals will no longer worry about selling.
However, Wang Wan also knew that His Majesty had some contempt for merchants. Meeting him once was enough, and I am afraid there would be no second time.
Wang Wan racked her brains and thought for a long time, and suddenly something came to her mind: "If you are not a merchant, what if you are a powerful person?"
"The powerful people in Guandong came all the way to Xianyang because they believed in the imperial court. They also sent their children to take part in the imperial examination, willing to help your majesty govern the world."
"These heroes are very loyal, right? But Your Majesty has not seen them yet. If you can persuade Your Majesty to meet these heroes, then..."
Wang Wan thought of this and shook his head again: "Even if His Majesty wants to meet the powerful people of Guandong. Those powerful people do not need to buy medals."
"Wait a minute... What if I suggest that your majesty only meet the powerful people from Guandong who are interested in going to sea? These powerful people have made great contributions to the expansion of our territory in Qin and for your majesty to find fairy mountains. It is completely reasonable and reasonable for your majesty to give you a banquet. .”
"If the powerful want to prove that they want to go to sea, they must buy this north needle. Brilliant, this is a brilliant plan."
When Wang Wan thought of this, like a drowning man grasping at straws, he immediately began to write a memorial.
When the memorial was halfway written, Wang Wan always felt that something seemed inappropriate. But he thought about it, straightened out his thoughts, and felt that it was completely reasonable, so he continued writing.
After writing the memorial, Wang Wan felt much more relaxed. After so many days, she could finally have a good night's sleep.
The next day, after reading the memorial, Ying Zheng felt that Wang Wan's suggestion made sense.
Although the mighty power of Guandong has been weakened a lot after the migration and the economic blow from Li Shui, it still cannot be underestimated. If you can show kindness and gain the other party's loyalty, that's great.
There are many powerful people in Guandong, so it is very appropriate to choose those who are interested in going to sea to give a banquet.
So Ying Zheng agreed to Wang Wan's proposal. Anyway, a banquet didn't cost much. I just sat there for a while and encouraged these powerful people with a few words, so I didn't waste anything.
After Wang Wan received His Majesty's decision, he was immediately elated and immediately ordered someone to call Zhou Gui.
Wang Wan said to Zhou Gui: "Your Majesty will give a banquet tomorrow. A banquet will be given to the powerful people in Guandong. Only those who are determined to go to sea can enter the palace. Today, eunuchs will visit the powerful people and draw up a list."
"How to judge whether a powerful man is interested in going to sea? The easiest way is to see if he has a compass. Therefore, you immediately seize this opportunity and go to the home of the powerful man in Guandong to sell the compass."
Zhou Gui responded, carrying a lot of compasses on his back, and hurried to the homes of those powerful people.
…………
After nightfall, Zhou Gui came back.
Wang Wan asked nervously: "How? How many were sold?"
Zhou Gui said with a grimace: "None of them were sold."
Wang Wan almost went crazy: "Could it be that these Guandong tycoons are so bold and reckless that no one wants to see Your Majesty?"
Zhou Gui said: "There are quite a few people who want to see His Majesty. But those powerful people said that they have already bought the compass. It is the second batch sold by Shangjun Courtyard. It does not come with medals, only the pointer, and the price is five Ten cents.”
"These powerful men also said that although this second batch of compasses is cheap, it will not prevent them from going to sea. To save more than one million yuan, it is better to build two more ships. It can be regarded as being loyal to His Majesty."
Wang Wan almost vomited blood when he heard this.
He finally understood what went wrong when he was writing the memorial yesterday.
"Huai Guzi, why are you always going against me?" Wang Wan stamped her feet vigorously and sighed with hatred.
"Sneeze." Li Shui sneezed and then began to wipe his nose: "This cold is really annoying."
