The first day of February is also the last rain and snow of this winter. Although there was light rain and a cold wind blowing, this weather was already considered good compared to the previous days of heavy snowfall.
The farmers who got up early in the morning lined up in an orderly manner at the entrance of the canteen, and the cooks enthusiastically served dishes of stomach-warming food.
With the replenishment of the 200,000 shi of grain, the development of Anyi County no longer has any worries. The food in the cafeteria has gradually become richer. This morning it was meat soup, multi-grain porridge, and fresh and crispy kimchi.
Wei Cheng was also sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, enjoying the delicious food. Sitting opposite him were Wei Min and Xu Ding.
The reason why I ate in the satellite city this morning was mainly because of an important project.
"Second Uncle, road construction is imminent. As you saw this morning, as long as it rains and snows, those dirt roads will become muddy and potholed, making it really inconvenient to walk." Wei Cheng swallowed the kimchi in his mouth and said. .
Wei Min nodded slightly. The roads outside the city should really be repaired. Before, there were not enough manpower. Now that there is a surplus of people and sufficient food, it is easy to hire people.
Wei Cheng looked at Xu Ding again and suggested: "As for the deployment of personnel, you should discuss it with the stewards. The construction of the water wheel irrigation system is imminent. If manpower is really needed, people from the city guard army can also be temporarily deployed. ." Xu Ding responded with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, I have told several stewards that after breakfast, the stewards of Satellite City No. 7, 8, and 9 will bring people over, and the young master will provide it. With the help of the waterwheel drawings, there will be no problem in catching up with spring plowing." The people in Satellite City No. 7 are all masons, No. 8 is a carpenter, and No. 9 is a stonemason. Wei Cheng wants to build waterwheels and irrigation canals, and people from these three professions are indispensable. manpower.
Fortunately, for the first five-year plan, Wei Cheng had people continue to recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the country. Now everything is ready, there is plenty of food and grass, and there is nothing that cannot be done.
This is Wei Cheng's style of doing things, constantly accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to come. After the three had breakfast, they visited several satellite cities and gave guidance on their work.
This is the same as many local leaders in later generations. Why do leaders always have to visit the grassroots from time to time?
To be honest, I really don’t want to win people’s hearts and gain fame, but I really don’t trust the grassroots.
You never know how outrageous the people below can take things in the wrong direction for you.
Therefore, a responsible leader should go to the grassroots level from time to time so that the work can be carried out and move forward.
It’s approaching the time of Si Shi. The three of them walked to Satellite City No. 3, which is the entrance to the workshop specializing in the textile industry.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a burst of laughter coming from inside. Due to professional needs, Satellite City No. 3 is dominated by female workers.
In the era of war and turmoil, there were many widowed women. The men in the family died on the battlefield or were forcibly recruited as civilian husbands. There were many women who never came back.
"I have met the second master, I have met the second master." The steward of Satellite City No. 3 is a nun of the Wei family, who is proficient in weaving and embroidery.
Wei Min behaved very respectfully towards this nanny and always addressed her as 'mom'. After listening to the conversation between the two, Wei Cheng knew that after Wei Min was born, his grandmother was in poor health and had no milk. His second uncle Wei Min grew up on this grandma's milk, and even his second mother didn't. Too much.
"Sister, what happened inside? Why is it so noisy?" Wei Min asked curiously, pointing to the inner courtyard.
When grandma heard this, she smiled and said: "It's not a noise, it's the girl from Mr. Huang's family who is here. She is helping the girls modify the loom."
"Oh?" Wei Cheng's expression changed, he looked at each other with his second uncle, and walked towards the inner courtyard. Upon seeing this, grandma hurriedly asked the people around her to lead the way. At the same time, she also informed the girls in the inner courtyard to restrain themselves a little.
After walking into the inner courtyard, I saw a group of women surrounding a loom. Huang Yueying, whose face was slightly sallow, was lying under the loom and tinkering with something.
After two months of treatment, Huang Yueying now has the courage to face her illness. When she is bored, she learns machine skills from her father. Recently, she has directly started working on Wei Cheng's loom.
While Huang Yueying was remodeling, she guided the female worker next to her and said: "You must apply fish oil here frequently in the future, otherwise if you step on the pedal too many times, this position will easily get stuck... Huh?" Wei Cheng saw that she had discovered him and looked at her. He made a shushing gesture, indicating for her to continue.
Huang Yueying was stunned and felt a little embarrassed. After all, this loom is already the product of Wei Cheng's "renovation", and its production efficiency has been improved dozens of times compared to the previous pedal loom. Now, with a slight modification based on Wei Cheng's, it is still the same as before. Looking at Wei Cheng himself, he looks a bit like Meng Lang.
Wei Cheng didn't take it seriously, but was very happy to see such a scene. His so-called "renovation and upgrading" is actually to copy the drawings on the Internet, so that the Song Dynasty looms made by the headband carpenters are naturally more efficient than the Qin and Han looms.
But after all, it was the product of hundreds of years. He thought he didn't have the talent to increase production capacity on this basis.
On the contrary, Huang Yueying, worthy of being Huang Chengyan's daughter, actually upgraded the looms based on the Song Dynasty.
After listening to Huang Yueying's description, Wei Cheng nodded sincerely. After her simple modification, the loom did have some improvement in production capacity. Although it was not much, it was already rare.
Wei Cheng and the others did not stay here for long. After all, they were all women. It would not be good for the three grown men to stay here for too long.
After walking out of Satellite City No. 3, Wei Cheng asked Xu Ding to record today's events and write it into an article, which would then be published in the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", focusing on affirming and commending Huang Yueying's behavior.
Xu Ding nodded thoughtfully. As the head of internal affairs and the first person to follow Wei Cheng, he was now able to keep up with Wei Cheng's brain circuits in time.
Wei Min guessed: "Cheng'er wants to encourage everyone to innovate more?" Wei Cheng smiled noncommittally and said: "Yes, my second uncle also saw it just now. Just a small change can improve weaving." The cloth production efficiency of the machine may not look like much, but if there are enough looms, the increase in output in just one day will not be a small amount." Wei Min squinted his eyes habitually and crossed his arms across his chest. , dragging his chin with one hand, stroking his beard, nodding and saying: "It's true, if one loom can produce half a foot more cloth, one hundred looms will be fifty feet, fifty feet per day, one year... tsk tsk tsk tsk." "Wei Cheng chuckled and responded: "Yes, this is true for weaving, and the same is true for everything else. From mining and transportation to weeding and cultivating land, these are all areas where production efficiency can be improved, as long as there is a little innovation. , it’s all a good thing for us.”… Another two days passed like this.
This day is another day when the "Dragon and Tiger List of the Great Han Dynasty" is published. Xu Ding's writing style is good, and with Wei Cheng's instructions, Huang Yueying's article on transforming the loom took up a lot of space.
Xu Ding even asked the artist to add an illustration. On the screen, Huang Yueying is standing next to a loom, holding a piece of cloth in her hand, and giving instructions to the embroidery girl next to her.
"Hahaha, this is a good picture!" Huang Chengyan was having dinner at home, and he was very happy to see his daughter on the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List".
Huang Yueying, who was sitting across from her, was blushing. She had just found out that she had been on this issue of the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" and it had occupied such a large space, which was even larger than the last "Hedong Grain Shortage".
The larger the length, the more concerned Wei Cheng was about this matter. Of course, the Huang family's father and daughter would not think that Wei Cheng was attracted to Huang Yueying, and that he was trying to show his goodwill to Huang Yueying.
After reading the article, Huang Chengyan said with great agreement: "Although this guy's behavior is different, it always makes people shine. It is true. It seems like a small improvement, but the impact it has on the entire industry cannot be underestimated. You can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. You have helped him take that step, and it is understandable that he praises you so much."
"Dad, please stop talking about me." Huang Yueying knew her own weight. Compared with the loom 'developed' by Wei Cheng, what she did was at best the icing on the cake.
Wei Cheng herself didn't praise herself that much, but instead pushed herself to the front of the stage, which made her very ashamed.
Seemingly sensing his daughter's thoughts, Huang Chengyan smiled and comforted: "Silly girl, don't really think that he is flattering you. Think about it carefully, who will really benefit after this article comes out?" Huang Yueying first said He instinctively pointed at himself, after all, he had become famous.
The ancients paid most attention to fame, and women were no exception. But then she thought, no, the one who really benefited... was him!
Huang Chengyan laughed and said: "You have set a precedent for him. After you, more and more people will definitely participate in this matter, maybe increase the production of food, maybe transform better utensils, In short, he is the one who benefits, and of course, speaking more broadly, the real beneficiaries are the people of this world."
"It's true what dad said." Huang Yueying nodded slightly, with a smile on her lips. Father and daughter had breakfast.
Huang Chengyan went to Heluo College for classes on time. Huang Yueying is very bored at home and usually goes to Heluo College to help out, but today she has a new place to go.
"It would be great if I could be on the Dragon and Tiger List again. Today I will go to Satellite City No. 8 and talk to Old Man Mu..." In this way, Huang Yueying was obsessed with invention and creation and couldn't extricate herself.
···Weifu. Wei Cheng met Wei Gong, Huang Zhong and his entourage who had returned from their travels. Zhang Fei was sitting on the futon, vividly recounting his experiences and experiences along the way.
Knowing that they also went after Cao Cao, Wei Cheng shook his head in amusement, but he didn't feel anything at all. Anyway, the thief Cao Cao asked for trouble.
Wei Gong said: "Second brother, have you found Lu Zhonglang?" Wei Cheng was stunned and looked at Tai Shici who was sitting behind Huang Zhong. Wei Cheng cast a kind look at this equally handsome and outrageous archer. Smile.
The addition of Taishi Ci was very important for his subsequent layout. Wei Cheng shook his head and said casually: "I'm afraid Lu Bu won't be able to get away for a while." Wei Cheng briefly explained the previous food shortage and forced Dong Zhuo to send food, which made several people marvel. Again and again.
Wei Gong looked at Wei Cheng with admiration, and responded with a smile: "In this case, I really can't get around to hold Ziyi accountable. I just don't know if Dong Zhuo has something to hide behind in being so anxious to recall Lu Bu. attempt."
"You don't know how to worry about this." Wei Cheng put the teapot aside, took a piece of information from the low table nearby, and said: "Lao Taishan sent a letter the day before yesterday. Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an. Many people in the court stood up to oppose it. Dong Zhuo killed a group of people and caused many people to escape." Wei Gong took a brief look at it and said with a frown: "This Dong Zhuo is really treasonous. He dares to move the capital to such a big thing...wait a minute, Wang Yun actually agreed?" Wei Gong frowned and looked up at Wei Cheng,
"Second brother, how come Wang Yun is colluding with Dong Zhuo?" Wei Cheng was sniffing the teacup. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "It's not collusion, it's just a temporary bundle of interests. Think about it, if Dong Zhuo If we don’t move the capital, when the alliance against Dong invades Luodu, will Wang Yun, the Situ, still be able to survive?”
"Just three days ago, Wen Ruo came to Jingzhou with news that Sun Jian had officially announced his determination to join the alliance to defeat Dong. Liu Biao was unable to defend Sun Jian's northward offensive, and Liu Xuande was fighting for territory with him. He was already too busy to take care of himself. ." With that said, Wei Cheng took another piece of information and handed it to Wei Gong. This was sent by Xun Yu from Jingzhou. Even if the rider rushed to deliver it, it would be three days before the information was delivered to Wei Cheng.
After Wei Gong read it in detail, he suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It seems that Dong Zhuo's move to Chang'an is a helpless move. After Lu Bu returns, there is a high probability that he will be arranged to go to Liu Biao for reinforcements, otherwise he will wait for Sun Jian to go north and east. There is also an alliance led by Yuan Shao to attack Dong Zhuo. Under the attack of the two parties, Dong Zhuo may be dead soon, hahaha." After a pause, Wei Gong suddenly straightened his face.
Wei Cheng looked at him curiously. Wei Gong breathed a little quickly and said: "Second brother, should we take the opportunity to capture Luodu?" He just finished speaking.
Wei Cheng obviously felt that except for himself, the eyes and postures of several people present had become sharp.
Zhang Fei even stood up, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Sir, I, Zhang Fei, am willing to do my best." Wei Cheng's hand holding the tea cup clenched slightly. This time, he did not refuse immediately, but was weighing the pros and cons.
After a long time, Wei Cheng finally breathed out. He shook his head and said, "Don't mention this matter again." Wei Gong and others looked at each other, a little disappointed. In their opinion, the opportunity was rare, and they didn't know why Wei Cheng would refuse.
But Wei Cheng has his own rhythm, and a real leader will not change his mind easily.
"By the way, second brother, uncle Han and brother Ziyi have made great contributions in killing the enemy this time. According to the rules of our city guard, meritorious deeds are always rewarded. I would like to ask second brother to make an exception and recruit brother Ziyi as the general of Longshan. Please also give me a reward." Get the Tiangang Divine Weapon... and a Wind Dragon Fire Spear." As if feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, Emiya hurriedly changed the subject.
Wei Cheng nodded towards Wei Gong with satisfaction and looked at Tai Shici behind Huang Zhong.
