"This is...Kong Mingsuo?"
Looking at the object in Bai Chi Gan's hand, Zhao Ping was unsure.
Although he has been traveling for some time, he does not have time to understand the history of this otherworldly space.
I don’t know if there is a specific Spring and Autumn Period, let alone if there is a person like Lu Ban.
But this thing is indeed Kong Mingsuo.
In his previous life, Zhao Ping bought it online and played it for a while. He couldn't solve it without reading the tutorial.
I can only marvel at it and admire the wisdom of the ancients.
"Kong Mingsuo? What is that?"
Bai Chigan said doubtfully.
"It's this thing in your hand."
"wrong."
Bai Chigan shook his head, "I call it the difficult tree."
"They are all made of wood, but it takes a lot of effort to untie them, which is quite difficult."
Difficult person wood?
Isn't that another name for Kong Mingsuo?
Zhao Ping asked: "Did you make this thing?"
"good."
Bai Chigan said: "I had nothing to do, so I made some gadgets."
"This is the one I am most satisfied with, so I brought it here specially for the interview in Xiping Village."
"I wonder if it can prove my ability?"
able!
So powerful!
For someone who can even tinker with Kong Mingsuo, his attainments in civil engineering are definitely not trivial.
You can even make many mechanisms.
Totally talented.
They are special talents that Xiping Village needs and must focus on cultivating.
Zhao Ping was a little excited.
So much so that he even forgot to answer Bai Chi Gan's question.
"Mr. Zhao, how about this?"
Bai Chigan thought for a while and said, "I'll give you a stick of incense to solve this difficult problem."
"If it can be untied, I will turn around and leave, as if I have never been here."
"If it can't be solved, how about you promise to increase my salary?"
Um?
These words made everyone present look weird.
It’s a perfect Xiping Village routine!
They are simply talents customized for Xiping Village. They should not be too in line with the purpose of Xiping Village.
However, Zhao Ping shook his head.
"That does not work."
"Do as I say."
"how do you say?"
Bai Chigan said nervously.
He put aside his old face and asked for leave from Chen Xinghe to come to Xiping Village for an interview.
If he was rejected, how could he face Chen Xinghe?
"If I solve this difficult problem, you will become a member of our Xiping Village from now on, and your salary will be increased five times."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "And Xiping Village will also provide you with food, clothing, housing and transportation. Whatever you ask for, we in Xiping Village will try our best to satisfy you."
"ah?!"
Bai Chigan was a little shocked.
Five times?
His current annual salary is more than two hundred taels of silver, five times that, which is thousands of taels of silver.
How to spend all that money?
However, Zhao Ping continued: "If you can do what I want you to do, there will be additional bonuses."
"The minimum bonus starts from a thousand taels of silver, and there is no limit to the higher one."
"As long as you have the ability, you can make money from me that you can't even imagine."
Buzz!
Bai Chigan's head was buzzing, and he kept licking his chapped lips with envy.
But he responded quickly.
There is a prerequisite for these benefits, that is, Zhao Ping can solve the problem.
But is this thing so easy to untie?
Don't you see, all the well-known officials and people who are familiar with each other in Qingzhou have solved it, but no one can solve it.
Even Qingzhou Master Chen Jiu, who was known as an unparalleled resourcer, was helpless.
Can Zhao Ping solve it?
He is rejecting himself in a different way.
After Bai Chigan figured this out, his excited expression instantly turned into loneliness.
He was even thinking about how he should report to the governor after returning to the state capital.
Zhao Ping continued: "If I can't solve it, I will accept you as my teacher and even give you half of the property in Xiping Village."
"No way, this is absolutely impossible."
Bai Chigan said hurriedly.
It’s not clear how big the industry in Xiping Village is. Just a piece of acacia wine is worth making money every day.
If you give it to yourself, how can you be so virtuous that you can afford it?
Liu Mengru, Peng Yue, Yun Su, Zhang Jiuya and others sitting in the interviewer's seat also looked shocked.
Even a little scared.
Because Bai Chigan said it, this thing stumped all the officials in Qingzhou.
Especially Peng Yue, who was fortunate enough to solve this difficult problem.
In three days, I couldn't find any way.
Even the county magistrate Guan Yongning was helpless when faced with the difficult situation.
It is said that this thing cannot be solved by cleverness, only brute force can break it open.
If the husband can't solve it, he can't really give away half of the family property to others.
Only Lu Xiu was quite disdainful.
Can't solve it?
With Master's ability, it doesn't exist at all.
At this time, Bai Chigan was still trying his best to explain, hoping that Zhao Ping could take back what he just said.
Pretend he hasn't been here.
However……
Zhao Ping handed over the difficult tree.
"Already untied."
"Untied?"
Bai Chigan was suspicious.
Looking at the "broken" Nanrenmu in Zhao Ping's hands, he was even more shocked, "Sir, you, you, how did you do that?"
"It's just a small thing."
Zhao Ping pretended to be a big ❌.
"Can you still restore it?"
Bai Chigan asked.
"able."
Zhao Ping said.
With three strokes, five divided by two, the tree of difficulty was restored to its original state.
thump!
Bai Chigan fell to the ground in shock.
"you you you……"
He pointed at Zhao Ping, and for a long time he didn't know what to say.
This speed is far beyond that of the maker.
"Hahaha, let me just say, there is no problem that Master cannot solve."
Lu Xiu burst out laughing when he saw this.
Others also breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually forgot that Mr. Zhao was omnipotent and worried for a long time in vain.
"Bai Chi Gan, in this case, are you willing to stay in Xiping Village?"
Zhao Ping asked with a smile.
He is no longer called Shangshu.
The implication is that he very much hopes that the other party can stay and regard him as a member of Xiping Village.
"me……"
Bai Chigan hesitated and was speechless.
The purpose of his coming to Xiping Village was to double his salary.
As for staying in Xiping Village, Bai Chigan had never considered this issue.
"Bai Chi Gan, what are you still hesitating about?"
Lu Xiu walked down from his seat and came to the front of Bai Chi Gan.
He bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to make more money?"
"Or are you saying that you don't want to learn how Sir solved this difficult problem like yours?"
"I……"
Bai Chigan opened his mouth, but no words came out.
I really want to.
But having worked with Chen Xinghe for so many years, and leaving suddenly, I always feel guilty.
"Sir, it's not just as simple as being able to crack your difficult tree."
Lu Xiu continued: "As the Minister of Industry in Qingzhou, you should have met Zhuge Liannu, right?"
"That's what sir does."
"The catapult used to annihilate the Qingzhou bandits was also made by Mr."
"Aren't you curious about all this?"
"Don't you want to study?"
"think."
Bai Chigan gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I will follow you, sir."
"I will be a member of Xiping Village from now on."
"that is……"
"You're worried that Chen Zhoumu's side won't be easy to deal with, right?"
Zhao Ping said with a smile.
Bai Chigan nodded.
"You don't have to worry about him."
Zhao Ping said: "Let's rest in Xiping Village for two days to experience the local customs and customs of Xiping Village."
"If you think this place is good, you like it here and want to stay here."
"I, Zhao Ping, welcome you with both hands. All the conditions I promised you before will be honored. If you are not sure, you can write it in the contract."
"When the time comes, I will send someone to bring your family to Xiping Village. At the same time, I will send a letter of divorce to Mr. Zhou Mu and explain the reasons in detail."
"I think because of my reputation, if I ask him for someone, he won't say anything."
"If you are not satisfied with Xiping Village, or you are not used to it."
"It's not too late for you to leave."
"I will still double your salary, but it won't be for free. You need to do things for Xiping Village."
"For example, when we come to you with a problem that we can't solve, I hope you can do your best to help us."
"how?"
"Then I'll stay for two days and think about it carefully?"
Bai Chigan nodded and agreed.
Zhao Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm afraid you'll turn around and leave.
As long as you are willing to stay and observe, you will be locked directly inside.
I don’t want to go out for the rest of my life.
For example, Li Heran.
I can't even drive him away now.
There is also Li Mubai, who even threatened to give up the scientific examination and teach and educate people in Xiping Village all his life.
After settling down the hundred-foot pole, Zhao Ping continued the interview.
The interview didn't stop until it was completely dark and no one could be seen. However, there were still people coming outside, so we had to let them rest in the village and wait for the interview the next day.
After Zhao Ping had dinner, he went to the newcomer area.
He was looking for Zhang Changling, the pigeon breeder.
Today we will finalize the matter of carrier pigeons and create the most advanced message transmission method in the Dawei Dynasty - flying pigeons to convey messages.
Zhao Ping knows that whether it is seeking development or stabilizing the country.
Whoever can get first-hand accurate information first will be invincible.
