After assigning the tasks, everyone started to get busy.
According to Mo Huai's estimate, the modification of the waterwheel and the manufacturing and installation of hydraulic stamping machine tools can be completed in as little as three days or as long as five days.
At that time, plate armor can be forged!
And with the hydraulic stamping machine tool, the overall forging level of the workshop will be raised to a higher level!
Not only the forging aspect, but also the workshop's electricity and metal refining processes will be upgraded to a higher level. This is a comprehensive technological innovation and can be regarded as an upgrade to the workshop.
After the upgrade, the workshop will soon be able to manufacture second-generation bicycles. Because with the hydraulic stamping machine, bicycle chains can be made, and the previous front-wheel drive bicycles can be eliminated!
As for the electric motor built by Mo Lingwei, this is also very important, because electricity can not only be used to light up light bulbs, but also provide power for machines!
"Mr. Mo, what do you think of Shaoning?"
After leaving the workshop, Li Zexuan and Mo Huai went to Yunshan together. On the way, Li Zexuan suddenly asked.
When Mo Huai heard this, he was startled. After a moment, he frowned and said, "Why did the mountain chief suddenly mention Mr. Yan?"
"Haha! I'm just asking casually. If Mr. Mo doesn't mind, you can say whatever you want!"
Li Zexuan laughed dryly and said quickly.
He is helping his good brother to find out!
Mo Huai was silent for a moment and replied: "Although Mr. Yan is the son of a minister, he is not like those dandy boys who spend all day hanging out with dogs and brothels. Instead, he is willing to study and is motivated. But this boy Plaguing my Weier all day long is really damaging to my Weier's reputation. If I hadn't done it for the chief's sake, I would have broken his legs long ago~!"
At the end of the sentence, Mo Huai's originally amiable face suddenly turned into an angry look.
Li Zexuan smiled secretly in his heart, what do you mean for my sake? You probably do it for your daughter's sake, right? If you break that guy Yan Shaoning's leg, I'll see if Mo Lingwei doesn't make trouble with you!
He wanted to say, "You don't have to give me face, just go ahead and fight," but Li Zexuan was worried that doing so would make Mo Huai unable to come to the stage, so he coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Haha! Miss Mo, Shaoning and the others are here. When it comes to academic research, Mr. Mo really shouldn’t care about those secular views and should support them..."
"support?"
When Mo Huai heard this, he was so angry that he almost jumped. He snorted and said, "I can't support them hanging around like this without distinction. Although the Mohist family does not have as many red tapes as the Confucian family, the reputation of the daughter's family is still good. I have to pay attention! When the mountain leader has a daughter, you will understand my current state of mind!"
Is it impossible to support them hanging around like this without distinction? Does that mean that those who are famous and distinguished can hang out together?
It seems that Mo Huai does not object to the combination of Mo Lingwei and Yan Shaoning! What he objected to was that Yan Shaoning got so close to Mo Lingwei without having settled a relationship with her!
Mo Huai was hinting at Li Zexuan in a roundabout way!
Li Zexuan secretly thought that there was something wrong. He chuckled and said, "I roughly understand what Mr. Mo means! When I turn around, I will go to Shaoning immediately and convey Mr. Mo's intention to him, so that he will not pester Mo in the future without any name or status. It’s a girl!”
"Um!"
Mo Huai nodded, and after a moment of silence, he sighed deeply and said, "Weier's mother passed away early. I have naturally been too doting on Weier over the years, so that's why I raised her to be like this." She has a very unruly temperament! I don’t want her to marry a nobleman and live a rich life, I just want her to find someone she truly loves, even if she is poor, as long as she can be happy, happy, and safe!"
Li Zexuan turned to look at Mo Huai. His turbid eyes were full of vicissitudes of life and reluctance. He was slightly touched. Poor parents in the world. Mo Huai must now realize that the apple of his eye, which he has been holding in his hand, is about to marry someone else. Wife?
This made Li Zexuan feel a little conflicted. If he had a daughter with Han Yuxi in the future, wouldn't he have to go through what Mo Huai is going through now?
"Ha~! The people have started planting rice~!"
At this time, Li Zexuan noticed that there were people in the fields with bare feet and rolled up trousers, planting rice seedlings in the paddy fields. His memory could not help but go back to his previous life when he was a child, when he also helped his parents plant rice seedlings in the fields.
Most of Chang'an is a plain area with a warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons: cold, warm, dry and wet. One season of wheat and one season of rice are grown every year, which is very similar to Li Zexuan's hometown in his previous life.
It's mid-May now, the season for planting rice!
"Yes! Now that all the canals in Lantian County are filled with water, the people must take advantage of this opportunity to plant rice seedlings quickly. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity later, we will not be able to harvest anything in the autumn harvest~!"
Mo Huai also turned his attention to the fields on the roadside and said with a smile.
Li Zexuan paused. He suddenly had the urge to go to the fields. He just did it and took off his shoes and socks on the spot. "Liu Feng, watch for me. I'll go down and help the old man plant rice seedlings!"
After that, he had taken off his shoes and footwear, rolled up his trouser legs, and was about to go to the fields!
Mo Huai and the guards such as Liu Feng and Liu Yun who were behind Li Zexuan couldn't help but be stunned.
The old farmer in the field even widened his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong!
Marquis Yong'an actually wants to go to the fields to help him plant rice seedlings? Little old man, am I dreaming?
"Hou...Mr. Hou! You can't do it! You absolutely can't do it! You are a rich man, how can you go to the fields! The fields are full of mud, but don't dirty your feet!"
The old farmer rubbed his eyes and pinched his thigh. After confirming that he had seen correctly and that he was not dreaming, he quickly dropped a large handful of seedlings in his hand, trembling, He walked quickly towards Li Zexuan.
"Is it Fourth Master Zhang? You should be careful and don't fall. I just suddenly want to plant rice in the field. You are busy with your business and leave me alone!"
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
His memory was extraordinary and he had a photographic memory. He had some impressions of the old man in front of him. He was Li Zheng from Zhangjiazhuang in the west. Li Zexuan had met him before when people from various villages came to Yunshan to learn cotton planting techniques.
"Planting rice seedlings? Lord Marquis, this is absolutely impossible! How can you do this kind of menial work! I can do it myself, old man!"
Fourth Master Zhang was shocked and said quickly.
"Master Zhang, look what you said, all people are born equal. You can do the job of transplanting rice seedlings, why can't I do it? Don't worry, I'm not the kind of playboy who doesn't know anything about farming, and I won't waste your rice seedlings. of!"
Li Zexuan smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he stepped forward to pick up a handful of seedlings from the ground. Then he skillfully separated three to four seedlings from the bundle, and held the roots of the seedlings with his index and middle fingers. Facing the seedling, the index finger and middle finger follow the heel of the seedling downward and insert it into the soil. This series of movements is not too standard. Fourth Master Zhang, Mo Huai, Liu Feng and others on the field ridge were stunned when they saw it!
Because Li Zexuan at this moment does not look like a prince! It's just like an out-and-out old farmer. It's really incredible!
Fourth Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly joined the team of transplanting rice seedlings.
Li Zexuan was not very fast at the beginning. After all, he had not been planting rice in the fields for many years. But after he found the feel, coupled with his super quick reaction speed in all parts of his body, the speed of planting rice was not too fast. Fourth Master Zhang His jaw dropped because he couldn't see clearly the movements in Li Zexuan's hands, he could only vaguely see a phantom!
What's even more terrifying is that Li Zexuan's rice transplanting speed has increased, but the quality has not dropped at all. The distance between the rice seedlings he planted is constant, about two fists wide, and each rice seedling stands upright, without any One collapsed. In just a short time, Li Zexuan had planted two rows of seedlings. From the perspective of Mo Huai and Liu Feng, the two rows of seedlings turned out to be a straight line, as if they had been drawn with a ruler. of!
Mo Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise. At first, he thought that Li Zexuan went to the fields to plant rice seedlings just for show. After all, in this era, even the emperor would take members of the royal family to work in the fields every year, in order to tell the people that the royal family valued farming. But now it seems that Li Zexuan is not just showing off and showing off to others, but is actually doing things seriously and immersing himself in it!
When Mo Huai looked at Li Zexuan, a hint of complexity suddenly flashed in his eyes. He knew astronomy and geography from the top, he could govern the country and help the emperor in the temple, and he could go to the fields and plant rice for the people in the rivers and lakes. Li Zexuan's many shining points had already made Mo Huai Completely conquered!
saint!
In Mo Huai's heart, perhaps only the word "saint" can represent Li Zexuan!
"Can you please help me, the two young generals, to look at my shoes? I'll go down and plant the rice seedlings~!"
With a sigh in his heart, Mo Huai rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes and footwear, and said to Liu Feng and Liu Yun.
"Hey~! Mr. Mo..."
Liu Feng was stunned, and then he was shocked. Just when he was about to speak out to dissuade him, Mo Huai was already on the ground quickly!
"This this....."
Seeing another person coming down to help him plant rice, and looking at his clothes, he should be from Yanhuang Academy. Fourth Master Zhang was a little confused at the moment. He wondered if there was smoke coming out of his ancestral tomb, or else the majestic Tang Dynasty Marquis and the man respected by thousands of people Why did Mr. Yanhuang Academy come to help him plant rice seedlings?
"Hey~! Mr. Mo, why are you down here too?"
Li Zexuan noticed Mo Huai's arrival. He was talking and laughing, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all.
Mo Huai said with a smile: "Seeing Shan Chang happily planting rice in the field, I couldn't help but feel itchy for a while, so I came down to enjoy it!"
After that, Mo Huai picked up a handful of seedlings and started planting them from the other end of the field. His movements were standard and his speed was not slow at all. He was obviously a veteran!
It is estimated that when the Mo family lived in one place and did not care about worldly affairs, Mo Huai also did farm work in the fields!
The people who were busy working in the fields nearby had already noticed the movement here. At this moment, they all put down their farm work and ran over to see the strange thing. .
"The Marquis actually helped Fourth Master Zhang to plant rice seedlings in person? Isn't it that Fourth Master Zhang has smoke coming out of his ancestral grave?"
"Really? If I were Fourth Master Zhang, I would definitely donate this piece of land in the future. After all, these are the seedlings planted by the Marquis himself!"
"Go! Mr. Zhao, look at your worthless look!"
"What's wrong? If I want to let you go, why don't you donate this land?"
"You want to let me go? If you want to let me go, I...I will pay for it too!"
"Hey! Look! Master Hou is planting rice so fast!"
"Wow! It's really fast! This speed is as fast as three of me!"
"That gentleman from Yanhuang Academy is so fast at planting rice!"
"If this continues, Mr. Zhang's entire acre of land will probably be planted in two-quarters of an hour!"
"Master Hou is so kind! I have never seen any official help us people plant rice seedlings, and do it so well and so quickly!"
"Yes! With such a good marquis on the stall, we will all be blessed in the future! Everyone, go to work quickly. The water in this field is hard to come by. We must hurry up~!"
The people around them sighed for a while after seeing the excitement, and then went back to work in their fields!
"Fourth Master Zhang, have you had any difficulties in your life recently?"
As expected by the people, all the seedlings in this acre of field were planted in less than two quarters of an hour. Li Zexuan took Fourth Master Zhang to squat on the field ridge to rest, and then asked casually.
Fourth Master Zhang was not as excited as before. He probably had adapted to it. Hearing this, he quickly waved his hands and said: "No problem! No problem! Lord Marquis! I'm living a good life, old man! In Zhuangzi's fields earlier There is a shortage of water, but you have solved it, Lord Marquis. Now, everyone on the farm is busy working in the fields! After all, we can plant rice seedlings, and there is hope. Everyone, you are full of energy to work. Spirit!
I heard that many people in other counties are still working in their fields! It is thanks to your blessing, Lord Marquis, that we can start planting rice so early! Moreover, a lot of the dried wheat in the wheat fields has come back to life. It looks like the wheat will be harvested in a few days. Although this year is not a good harvest year, you will not go hungry after all~! "
Li Zexuan smiled happily and said: "That's good! That's good! If Mr. Zhang and you have any difficulties in the future, just go to the county seat and find Magistrate He. If he doesn't help you solve your problems, then you can come and find him again. I, I will make the decision for you and punish him severely~!"
Fourth Master Zhang trembled and said quickly to Li Zexuan: "Master Hou, please don't say that. Magistrate He is also a good official! Before you came here, Magistrate He was upright and upright. He was rarely like other magistrates." Just like the county officials, he only asks the common people to collect exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. He is a good official~!"
Li Zexuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha! If County Magistrate He knew that you praised him so much, Mr. Zhang, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams! Okay, it's time for me to go back. Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we, the people of Lantian County, The taxes on your body will definitely become less and less every year, and your life will definitely become better and better every year~!"
"Hey! Old man, I believe in Mr. Hou! Mr. Hou, please go slowly!"
Fourth Master Zhang quickly got up from the ground and bowed to Li Zexuan.
