Three days later. At the foot of Longshan Mountain.
"Don't worry, Sir, the drawings of these weapons are very rough and it is not troublesome to build them." Hao Dadao held more than a dozen weapon drawings in his hand. These were the drawings that Wei Cheng had made in the past two days according to Huangfusong's request, after making slight improvements at Liu's request. Drawn with the help of He and Cai Yan.
He didn't quite understand the ancient drawing scales, so he could only explain this aspect verbally. Liu He and Cai Yan are both talented women who have studied with famous teachers since childhood. Mere drawings are nothing to them.
However, what Wei Cheng didn't know was that his improved weapon drawings were secretly remembered by Liu He, wondering if he could build some himself if he had the opportunity later. Of course, that was a story later.
Wei Cheng's main purpose in building these weapons was to pay Huangfu Song's salary. Therefore, to Wei Cheng, these weapons were not considered exquisite. Some of the forging techniques and requirements were at most hundreds of years ahead of this era, probably Top craftsmanship in the mid-Tang Dynasty.
However, even so, it is enough to meet Huangfusong's requirements, and it can even bring him some surprises.
"Then, everyone, let's meet again during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. By then, you will all go to Anyi County, and I will be your host." Wei Cheng stood on the shaft of the carriage and said, cupping hands with Hao Dadao and others.
Everyone returned the gift one after another and respectfully sent Wei Cheng and his party off. This time out, except for Wei Cheng, everyone else had a lot of fun, especially Zhong Chan, Aning and Niu Niu. The three of them had a lot of fun following the children in the village every day, and they wished they could live here directly.
Back in the city at this time, Zhong Chan was still chirping in the carriage and talking about interesting things in the past few days, causing everyone to laugh.
Wei Cheng turned his head to look at Cai Yan, and saw her rubbing her belly, her eyes full of motherly glory, and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable?" Cai Yan looked up and smiled slightly: "No." Wei Cheng will The soft cushions behind her were tucked in,
"After you go back this time, don't go out. Stay at home and wait for the birth." Cai Yan rarely objected this time. He nodded and said: "I know, it will only last three months, and I will listen to you." That’s it.”
"There's something wrong with you today." Wei Cheng smiled and took her hand, placed it in his palm and massaged it gently.
Seeing this, Cai Yan blushed a bit, glanced at the hand held by Wei Cheng, and gently nestled her body in Wei Cheng's arms.
"Husband, when the children grow up, how about we return to Longshan for retirement?" Wei Cheng was startled when he heard this, nodded and replied: "Of course, as long as you don't mind the poverty, I actually prefer the environment of the thatched cottage."
"Seriously!" Cai Yan couldn't help but raise his head. Wei Teng looked down at her, his eyes falling on those red lips, and he nodded slightly.
"Naturally." Another day. The bell tower in the center of Anyi County. Tian Feng and several stewards arranged a row of half-person-high wooden tables neatly in the most conspicuous place.
Such a large battle instantly attracted the attention of a large number of merchants and passers-by, many of whom were members of aristocratic families and even rushed back to inform the family head.
Tian Feng glanced at the people leaving, and arranged for everyone to place objects covered with white cloth on the long table one by one. These objects were large and small, long and short, because they were covered with white cloth, but they were Can't see clearly.
The onlookers were looking forward to it, and there were different opinions on the scene.
"Could it be that the City Guards are recruiting troops again?" During the Chinese New Year, a long table was set up here. That time, the Wei family selected many talents, including people who were good at water, young and powerful households, and even Chef Dingjie Cattlemen and butchers were also recruited.
I really envied a lot of people during that recruitment. After all, I was going to serve in the City Guards. Not only did I have the protection of the Wei family, I could also be assigned a good residence outside the city. The most important thing was that I had the opportunity to enter Longshan. military.
Who doesn't know that the City Guards, which has the largest number of people today, is actually where the Wei family trains talents. Some people advance from the City Guards to the Longshan Army and become famous in one battle, while others are assigned to the Wei family based on their superb skills. Industry is in charge.
For example, the butcher, who was obviously just a slaughterer of pigs and sheep, is now a steward of the No. 2 satellite city breeding farm. Not only is he assigned a large yard, but his monthly salary and benefits are also incredible.
Moreover, the most enviable thing is that many aristocratic families will go to him in different ways to get the best meat. The poor have no pursuit in this regard, but the rich do not care about money for the sake of their tongue.
Just as everyone was talking about it, people from the aristocratic family finally rushed over. Old Master Xie came very quickly this time because he happened to be listening to music with Xie Jin at a teahouse not far away.
"Thank you, sir." Tian Feng bowed his hands. Old Mrs. Xie showed a kind smile and returned the gift to Tian Feng. He looked at the objects covered with white cloth on the table and asked curiously: "Yuan Hao, what kind of program is this today?" Tian Yuanhao, also known as Tian Feng, held his hands and smiled. He said: "Thank you, please be patient. Please wait a little longer. The young master will be here soon." Old Master Xie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became interested. He laughed and said, "It's rare for that boy to make any noise. I have nothing to do. , just stay here and watch the excitement." Tian Feng did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked the steward to move a soft couch to the restaurant next to him, and also prepared tea and pastries.
Old Master Xie glanced sideways at Tian Feng and said pointedly: "Yuan Hao, your temper has softened a lot in the past few months." Tian Feng was startled when he heard this, and smiled noncommittally: "There's nothing I can do about it, people change." Old Mrs. Xie picked up the tea bowl, fiddled with the foam, and sighed.
When Tian Feng first came to Hedong County, he was somewhat outspoken and did things very radically without regard for the consequences.
Looking at him now, he seems to be a different person. His abilities aside, his temperament has really improved a lot, and he is now a person who can do great things. Old Master Xie thought this.
At this time, a burst of noise attracted the attention of several people. I saw a few richly dressed young men from aristocratic families squeezed into the crowd. Each of them was riding a bicycle. They looked majestic and cast disdainful glances at the pedestrians blocking the road.
Old Master Xie's originally smiling face suddenly turned a bit cold. Xie Jin looked up and couldn't help but feel silent for the little guy who took the lead, because that person was none other than Xie Hui, the eldest son of brother Xie Jin, the eldest grandson of the Xie family, and Xie Yu's brother.
Tian Feng obviously saw this scene and recognized the identity of the person. Originally, he wanted the city guards to deal with it, but after thinking about it, he stopped the city guards and turned to look at Xie Old lady.
Old lady Xie sighed softly,
"I made you laugh. You don't have to hurt my face. You can deal with it how you want." After hearing this, Tian Feng stopped worrying and looked at the captain of the city guard beside him. The latter clasped his fists and saluted, and led the people directly. In the past, several young masters from aristocratic families were driven out.
"Sir, this wine tastes weird. It's better to drink water." Dian Wei stuck out his tongue and looked at Wei Cheng with some resentment.
Wei Cheng was also speechless. Beer was such a good thing, but he didn’t know how to taste it. After taking a sip, Wei Cheng said with a smile: "This is a liquid steamed bun. Oh, forget it, you don't understand." The corners of Dian Wei's mouth twitched and he took out the small wine bottle Wei Cheng gave him from his arms. , unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of Erguotou, and then I felt that the strange taste in my mouth was much better.
"Hey, there are a lot of people!" Wei Cheng looked at the square under the bell tower. It was already crowded. Dian Wei's leopard eyes narrowed unconsciously, he put the wine bottle back into his arms and tightened the saber on his waist.
It will take some time for Wei Cheng to customize the double halberds for him, because they are made of special steel and are not easy to forge, so this time they will have to wait.
"Come on, let's not go in and find a seat in the teahouse opposite." Wei Cheng and Dian Wei said. The two walked into the teahouse and found that it was also crowded. Fortunately, the shopkeeper had the habit of reserving private seats. There happened to be an independent space on the third floor terrace for distinguished guests.
Wei and Cheng were led down to the third floor by the shopkeeper, and stood leaning on the railing, just enough to have an unobstructed view of the crowd.
As if feeling something in his heart, Tian Feng raised his head and looked at him. Wei Cheng made a shushing gesture and signaled that he could start.
Tian Feng bowed his hand, causing several heads of aristocratic families on the side to look up, only to find that Wei Cheng had already arrived.
Old Grandpa Xie and the people from the Cai family on the side looked at each other and said angrily and funny: "Look, I said, he just deliberately lured us to make the scene. This kid is very cunning." The Cai family came from Cai Yong. Congdi, one of the clan elders with real power in the Cai family, raised his eyes and nodded to Wei Cheng from a distance, and responded with a smile: "Let's wait and see. If it's not a novel object, we will go up and trouble him." Xie. The old man twisted his beard and chuckled,
"I'm afraid you old guy won't be able to bear it." The Cai clan leader didn't reply. He really couldn't bear it. Not to mention that Wei Cheng is Cai's uncle, but the glory that Wei Cheng has brought to the Cai clan is enough for Wei Cheng to win the Cai clan. of respect.
Dangdang Tian Feng stepped forward to the high platform, rang the gong, and said loudly: "Everyone, many of you must be curious about the objects under the white cloth. Tian will not be too pretentious. Please give up a piece of open space. Let Tian show it to everyone, how about it?" Someone in the crowd immediately responded and asked the onlookers to step aside, leaving an open space of about ten square meters.
Tian Feng saw this and clapped his hands with satisfaction. Immediately, several people dressed in different clothes came out from the side, each standing in an empty seat, looking at Tian Feng on the stage with a reserved expression.
Many people looked puzzled, because of the seven people who came out, two of them were obviously dressed as farmers, and their dark and chapped skin was covered with traces of sun and wind. As for the other five, they were also not very talented. man of.
At this time, Tian Feng had already walked behind the first item, grabbed a corner of the white cloth with both hands, and opened it with force.
The originally noisy scene immediately fell silent. Because the objects on the long table have a rather strange shape, no one knows what they are used for.
Seeing this, Tian Feng looked at the only woman among the seven people without haste. The woman was about twenty-three or four years old, with an average appearance. She looked timid and seemed not used to being surrounded by so many people.
Seeing Tian Feng looking towards her, she plucked up the courage and walked onto the high platform carrying a bamboo basket. Tian Feng signaled her to operate normally. The woman bowed respectfully to Tian Feng and sat on the long stool next to the long table.
At this time, Tian Feng looked towards the crowd. After looking around, he pointed at a girl who looked quite cute.
"Come on, let's sew a piece of clothing for that little girl. Take your time, don't rush." Tian Feng said with a smile.
The woman looked at the little girl in the crowd, nodded slightly, then took out a piece of exquisite silk and satin from the bamboo basket, and took scissors and other objects, then looked at the little girl, and started operating in an orderly manner.
There was nothing special about the previous actions, until the woman placed the cut silk satin on the object.
The girl stepped on the pedal and skillfully turned the rotating shaft on the side. In just a cup of tea, she finished a delicate and beautiful single garment, and she also carefully added some patterns on the single garment.
Tian Feng took the unlined garment, jumped off the high platform, walked to the little girl, and said to the woman holding the little girl: "Mrs. Sun, this unlined garment was given to your daughter, you can let her try it out. It fits." The woman took the unlined garment and asked in surprise, "Mr. Tian, can you make a piece of clothing so quickly?" Tian Feng responded with a smile: "This thing is called a sewing machine, and it will be discussed later. It is sold in department stores. If Mrs. Sun is interested, she can buy one and try it out at home. In addition to sewing clothes, it has many wonderful uses. We will sell it with special instructions later."
"Ah, okay, okay, thank you sir, I will be the first one to support you when I get back." At this time, the little girl had already put on her single clothes. The novel style, coupled with the decorations on the clothes, made the little girl look stunning. She became more and more cute and cute, causing many women with children to look over and marvel at her.
Tian Feng climbed onto the high platform again, smiled and bowed hands with everyone.
"This thing is called a sewing machine. As for its wonderful functions, everyone has just seen it. If you are interested in buying it, you can send someone to the nearby department store to register, and we will supply it to you as soon as possible."
"The next thing is the second one. This one is really important. Many of the people here must be from farmers. Tian has a small question and wants to ask you for advice." After hearing this, everyone looked at Tian Feng and him curiously. The white cloth in front of you.
Tian Feng asked with a smile: "I wonder how many acres of land you can plow in a day?" The question was simple. Immediately, an experienced farmer shouted: "Mr. Huitian, if it is ordinary dry land and there are cattle, , at least seven acres of land can be plowed in a day, and the most can only be ten acres. Of course, the premise is that there are two plowing oxen in rotation." Another old farmer who was wearing relatively poor clothes said loudly: "That is the condition that only rich families have, like ours. People can only plow three acres of land a day, and the whole family works together." After hearing this, Tian Feng bowed to the old farmer, and then said with a smile: "After today, I will never have to work so hard again." The old farmer He was stunned for a moment.
But Tian Feng lifted up the white cloth, revealing a curved shaft plow and a small human-powered one-wheeled iron plow.
