"Brother Qin Shi, you are really wise to ask this question."
Just when Qin Shi thought this answer was a denial, he saw Ning Wuyang asking him back, dumbfounded.
"Didn't you see with your own eyes how things happened? You asked me what happened? You haven't slept well recently and thought you were dreaming?"
"Of course, you said that this tool was only made for Brother Zhang Cheng, which is not very strict, because once this tool is made, everyone can use it. From now on, everyone just needs to scatter rapeseed in the soft ground, if the conditions are right. , no need to bend down anymore.”
In fact, Ning Wuhuang had long wanted to popularize the farming skills he learned from his grandfather in his previous life to nearby farmers.
I just didn’t find the right opportunity.
Although the Ning family was from a poor family, they were not so poor that they had to work in the fields themselves.
He can only show off his skills when there is a need to avoid being suspected of having a core changed inside.
And when there is a need, he comes up with good invention ideas, which belongs to his ingenuity.
"Ning Shixian, have you ever farmed?"
Qin Shi was indeed aware of this problem.
It's the same logic as Jiang Yang making stirrups. If you haven't eaten pork and just seen pigs running, it's hard to understand what the ingredients of pig feed are.
Just now, when he saw Ning Shixian making a tool for sowing vegetable seeds without thinking, he thought it was an old crop handle that had been cultivated for many years.
"Isn't it normal for me to stay on Zhuangzi and help others sow seeds? A lazy person like me, apart from thinking about poetry and serving Daxing, may spend some time on other things. If I can be lazy, I lazy."
No.
Qin Shi retorted in his mind: Ning Shixian, you are also very delicate when cooking, which is not related to laziness.
But what he said would only show that he was really greedy and not just pretending to be greedy, so he swallowed it back.
"Okay, let's get out the funnel sowing tools. I won't train the horse today. I just want to let the horse rest for a day."
Ning Wuhao just do it.
I spent a whole day in the field, testing the converter between the size of the funnel and sowing various seeds.
Unlike bamboo tubes, iron tools like funnels can be replaced at will, so controlling the size and output of seeds is a technical issue.
Fortunately, in order to make stirrups in large quantities in the future, Jiang Yan called famous blacksmiths from other prefectures and counties to Jinling through Su Rui.
After designing a few trial drawings, Ning Wuyan, Yunfei and Qin Shi went to the city to build a funnel sowing tool.
Jiang Yan, who personally led them to the blacksmith, heard about Ning Wuhuang's intention. After seeing the crude sowing tools, he sent the government officials in charge of farming to register and learn from them without saying a word, and included them in the government's list. within jurisdiction.
It's not that Jiang Yan wants to take credit, but changes in iron tools and farm tools need to be registered and even included in county and state annals.
"Mr. Ning, these agricultural tools will not only bring great convenience to the disabled, but also free up everyone's labor, allowing the entire agriculture of Jinling, no, the entire Daxing, to make further progress."
Jiang Yan smiled from ear to ear.
He had long known how powerful Ning Wuyang was.
But he was also worried that Ning Wuhan, a young genius, would eventually run out of talent and end up like a candle.
It's better now.
He can be sure that Mr. Ning has no bottleneck at all when it comes to inventions that promote Daxing's progress. As long as his creative desire can be stimulated, no matter how big or small the objects he invents, he can always make people shine.
"Don't put a high hat on me. I don't accept this. I only know that the wounded soldiers near Zhangjiazhuang and Liujiazhuang will have extra hands and feet. As for extending it to other places, that is your government's responsibility. What does credit have to do with me?"
Qin Shi heard the conversation between Ning Wuhuang and Jiang Yan and secretly made a note in his mind.
And when he used the nighthawk to pass the message at night, he wrote down the farm tools invented by Ning Shixian today, as well as his evaluation of Ning Shixian - he takes credit but is not arrogant, he is worthy of being a great talent!
"I didn't understand why Mr. Su and Mr. Xu were so full of praise for Ning Shixian before, but now..."
Understand Master Su and become Master Xu.
Qin Shi decided that he would no longer pretend to be greedy and eat three bowls of rice at breakfast tomorrow.
He wants to eat a big pot of steamed buns!
"Ning Shixian treats people with sincerity. As long as I treat him with sincerity, he will definitely let me eat."
time flies.
The sun and the moon fly by.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
Without Ning Feng, most of the sons and sons of the Ning family were sent to other states and counties. It was difficult for new officials to take leave and go home after taking office.
Except for the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ning Wuyan and his third brother returned to Ning Mansion and reunited with their aunt and sisters. The next day, they returned to Zhangjiazhuang and continued their daily practice.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually cooled down. In addition to orders from the south, businesses in the surrounding and north areas began to place reservations for ice cubes for the coming year.
"Orders will skyrocket in April next year, but from September to April this year, orders will only be less than 10% of the next year's volume. Don't panic, the perfume should be sold all over Daxing, and the saturated market should usher in a peak."
In the middle of the month, Ning Wuhuang reviewed the accounts for the first half of the month and adjusted the industrial structure chain in a timely manner.
Although April next year will be the highlight of ice mill production, saltpeter mines need to be stocked in advance. This expenditure is not small, and most of the workers in the ice mill are laborers due to transportation work. The more so, if they Find something else to do again, and you may not be able to return in time next year.
Feeding workers has become the primary issue.
Perfume orders will surge afterwards. Everyone will be asked to express their wishes according to the remuneration, and then the work will be divided and distributed.
Some people who were screened out and disobeyed the discipline had to clean up the rat droppings in advance.
Whether working in the perfume shop or the ice cream shop, they work in three shifts, divided into different positions, with three days off or five days off. The treatment is the best in Jinling, but similarly, he will never support idlers.
It took a lot of effort to observe Qin Shi, who was Ning Wu well for ten days.
After discovering that Ning Wusu had killed more than a dozen workers with iron and blood, and even pushed the whole family away because they caused trouble and delayed the normal operation of the perfume workshop, he got to know the kind-hearted Ning Shixian again. .
When he first came into contact with Ning Wuchang, Qin Shi might have given Ning Shixian the impression of "harsh treatment of workers" when summarizing what he had seen during the day every night.
But now, while Qin Shi threw a handful of soft-seeded pomegranates handed over by Yun Fei into his mouth, he looked coldly at the village bullies who were still unconvinced, thinking about whether he should learn from Yun Fei and secretly kill all these people. Knock the sap and drag it away.
Knocking on a sap seems a bit obvious... Qin Shi raised his head and glanced at the big yellow grapefruit on the grapefruit tree, thinking that this thing might be useful.
"Brother Qin Shi, do you want more pomegranates?"
Yunfei handed over a whole pomegranate.
Qin Shi shook his head.
A handful was enough. If he ate a whole pomegranate, if Ning Shixian was in danger, would he throw a pomegranate to protect Ning Shixian?
It's strange to say that it's August 25th, and the martial arts test will be held in five days. Are the people from the Western Regions really not planning to attack Ning Shixian and prepare for a fair competition?
Just thinking about it.
At this moment, a swirling evil wind suddenly blew.
Ning Wuyan, who was standing under the grapefruit tree, suddenly felt a numbness in his scalp. When he subconsciously looked up, his pupils suddenly trembled.
"Ning Shixian, squat down quickly!"
