Liu Lin said: "You don't think it's good to go to the factory, but it's not bad to go to the farm! Let me tell you, my young master has made a new kind of grain. It's really delicious, and the yield is frighteningly high. , The farm will definitely live a prosperous life from now on!"
"Guess how much this grain weighs per acre?" Liu Lin made a guess.
"Five...eight hundred pounds!" someone said.
"One thousand catties!" someone else said.
After shouting a thousand pounds, no one made a sound.
Mrs. Liu Lin laughed and said: "Too little! This can't scare anyone! My young master said it! It's at least seven thousand catties. If you take good care of it, it can go up to ten thousand catties!"
Everyone hissed, took a breath, and subconsciously stopped.
Zuo Guangdou was so shocked that his voice trembled, and he said, "Sister-in-law Liu, don't make any jokes."
Mrs. Liu Lin snorted and said, "Why are you stopping here? Let's go!"
Everyone woke up and continued walking.
Liu Lin said angrily: "My young master said this! He kept his word! There will be as many as he said! Yesterday the farm was planted, and we will see the results in three months! Believe it or not ! If you don’t believe me, I’ll keep it to myself. If anyone dares to let me hear someone say a disrespectful word about the young master, I’ll slap him to death!”
Everyone had sarcastic expressions on their faces.
Zuo Guangdou said: "Sister-in-law Liu, we definitely believe you, Master Huang, there is no need to brag! Everyone is just curious, right?"
Mrs. Liu Lin nodded and said, "Don't take it too seriously. I'm good at everything. I just can't bear to be disrespected by my young master!"
She paused and said: "Ten thousand catties per mu is nothing! That is to say, you have no idea! My young master is very capable! You will go there in a while, and I need to open your eyes first! See Mr. Zhu and what my young master has made Artifact!"
Everyone is extremely curious.
Shi Kefa asked: "Auntie, what kind of artifact is it?"
Liu Lin raised his head and said loudly: "The magic machine for pumping water! This is not an ordinary water pump. It does not require manpower and can pump water day and night! There are thousands of acres of land in the farm, and it has been pumped from yesterday to noon today. It's watered! Today we are pumping water to Nongerzhuang, and we happen to be passing by! Hurry up!"
Everyone quickened their pace when they heard that they could see the magical water pump.
"Xianzhi, what do you think?" Zuo Guangdou whispered to Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa said: "I don't think this sounds like nonsense, but the ten thousand kilograms of grain produced per acre, the water pump that works day and night without manual labor, it seems like a fantasy, and the layout of these factories and farms is really novel. !”
Zuo Guangdou nodded and said: "Yes, everything is weird, but from the words of these women, I admire Master Huang very much! Previously, I had preconceived ideas and almost mistakenly blamed a good man!"
Shi Kefa said: "Well, he is really a role model for the world. I really want to get to know him quickly and see him!"
Zuo Guangdou said: "I'll go to the farm first, and you go to the factory first, and we'll investigate separately! We'll finally meet up and return. If these are true, I... that's really a great thing!"
The two of them had made up their minds and quickened their pace to keep up.
In the crowd, many people were talking and laughing a lot more. It was no longer the lifeless look before.
Not long after, the movement of the crowd slowly stopped, and a strange roar came from afar.
Zuo Guangdou and the other two stood on their feet and looked over. They saw a group of children by the river in the distance, laughing and playing around the thing that made the strange noise, while a water dragon was spurting out, splashing a large amount of water. …
Water pumping machine!
Zuo Guangdou suddenly remembered what Liu Lin had just said.
"Twenty people come out! I'll take you to open your eyes!" Liu Lin shouted.
Many people signed up enthusiastically, and Liu Lin quickly selected representatives. Zuo Guangdou was lucky enough to be selected into the list of twenty people.
"The rest of the people keep walking! They will go to see it later. I will talk to you later. From now on, this is not a strange thing and everyone can see it!" Mrs. Liu Lin waved her hand, and Mrs. Xinghua and others led the team to continue forward. OK.
Zuo Guangdou and others followed Liu Lin towards the river.
As he walked closer, the roar was deafening. Zuo Guangdou was stunned when he saw it!
I saw that artifact, whining and emitting thick white smoke, with a man shirtless, adding coal to the side from time to time...
"How's it going? Is it a magical weapon? As long as the stove doesn't stop, the water will keep pumping!" Mrs. Liu Lin felt proud when she saw that everyone looked like they had seen a ghost.
"Um, mother, this... is such a treasure from the immortal family!"
"Could it be that these two young masters are gods descending to earth!"
…
Some people knelt down to worship. Zuo Guangdou's face was full of disbelief. Suddenly, his heart moved. On that day in the court hall, His Majesty said that he would establish a Ministry of Science and Technology, saying that he would research an important weapon for the country. Could it be this? Yes! It must be this!
It’s truly an artifact! The most important weapon of the true country! Your Majesty, I misunderstood Your Majesty!
Thinking of this, Zuo Guangdou felt ashamed.
"Sister-in-law Liu, can this machine only pump water?"
Liu Lin laughed and said: "This has many uses! Now we still have one here, which is used as a blower for the steel plant! However, I heard two young masters say that this machine is amazing! This It's called a steam engine!
It can be made into a train. It can travel one or two thousand miles a day, carrying thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods. I heard from the young master and Mr. Zhu that construction of the railway will start soon. We can take a ride on the train in the future! You can also make ships, cultivators, textile machines, etc. Anyway, there are too many and I can’t remember them! "
Zuo Guangdou was shocked!
It turns out that what His Majesty said is true! I...damn it! If this steam engine is developed, it will benefit the country and the people! Bless the Ming Dynasty! Just because I and others are biased, I strongly oppose it! If His Majesty puts down this great invention because of this, I, Zuo Guangdou, will be a sinner through the ages!
Zuo Guangdou was embarrassed and angry, but Zhu Youxiao's image in his mind immediately made a 180-degree turn. He made sharp weapons to save the refugees. This is the eternal sage!
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Mrs. Liu Lin looked at it funny.
Zuo Guangdou smiled sheepishly and said, "What an eye-opener!"
Liu Lin said proudly: "What the hell! My young master is very capable. He knows everything from astronomy to geography! He is capable of everything! You will know later, so I won't say more! Let's go!"
Mrs. Liu Lin shouted a few words, and everyone reluctantly chased the team.
Just as I caught up with the team, I saw a group of people escorting several ox carts, led by two old men.
Mrs. Liu Lin greeted loudly: "Village Chief Ye, Uncle Youfu, what are you doing?"
The two of them stepped forward quickly, and Liu Youfu said: "These are the seeds that the young master brought today. I asked Lao Ye to come over and help teach us how to plant them."
Ye Daming said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Liu, if Lao Liu hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have come! I'm just thinking about when the seedlings will emerge. The young master said that after the seedlings emerge, they can be transplanted with seedlings and vines. Our farm will It can be planted on all the ground!”
Liu Youfu nodded and praised loudly: "That's right! This is really good stuff! Sister-in-law Liu, go quickly, the food is ready, let's go sow seeds quickly!"
Mrs. Liu Lin smiled and got out of the way.
The two village chiefs hurried away with their bullock carts.
Zuo Guangdou felt hot in his heart after hearing this, but it was not convenient to open it and take a look, so he had to ask Mrs. Liu Lin, "Sister-in-law Liu, is this the kind of grain that can yield ten thousand kilograms per mu?"
Mrs. Liu Lin nodded and said, "Yes! I ate it once yesterday, and my mouth watered when I said it! It's fragrant, sweet and makes me very hungry. I really want to have a good harvest as soon as possible!"
Zuo Guangdou drank a lot of tea in the morning and was in a hurry to catch up with the convoy, so he didn't eat lunch. Now that Liu Lin said it was delicious, his mouth suddenly became salivating and his stomach started growling.
Shi Kefa had been standing by and had no chance to ask. He listened to the unclear narrations of the people who had been there. The more he listened, the more confused he became. When he saw Liu Lin walking away, he quickly asked: "Teacher, what is the magic machine for pumping water?" What's going on?"
