At the end of Si Shi,
Just as Qin Ming and Old Yao were squatting on the ground, discussing which parts of the drawings needed to be modified, there was a knock on the office door again.
Qin Ming, who was chatting animatedly with Old Man Yao, thought it was Wan'er who had returned. He shouted at the door to come in, and then lowered his head and started talking with Old Man Yao.
After receiving Qin Ming's permission, Yang Zijun, wearing a big red golden deer-blessed myrobalan skirt and a red veil, said to Maotu behind him:
"Maotu, please wait outside for a moment. Young Master and I will be out in a moment."
Wearing a pink dress and fair skin, Maotu narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard this:
"Don't be anxious, slave. It doesn't hurt that the young lady and the young master stay for a while!"
Yang Zijun blushed, waved his fist towards Mao Tu and said:
"Begging for a beating!"
Maotu laughed when he heard this.
Yang Zijun rolled his eyes at Maotu, turned around, opened the door and walked into the house.
But when she saw Qin Ming and Old Yao squatting in front of a huge drawing, she was stunned.
Although I have heard my cousin mention it before, the young master is quite accomplished in drawing!
But she never expected that Qin Ming's painting skills would be so advanced!
As the old saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is believing!
Her eyes were opened today!
It turns out you can still paint like this!
Qin Ming heard the footsteps behind him, turned his head and said:
"Wan'er...hey...Zijun, why are you here?"
After hearing Qin Ming's words, Old Yao stood up and smiled at Yang Zijun:
"Dean Yang."
Old Yao had been to the academy the day before yesterday, so he recognized at a glance the dean of the academy who, like Butler Xiao, always wore a veil.
Yang Zijun came to his senses and sent a blessing to Qin and Ming.
"Sir, Mr. Yao."
Qin Ming smiled and asked:
"Zijun, do you have a problem with me?"
Yang Zijun nodded and said:
"Sir, Master Zhao, who is in charge of the research institute, asked me to come over and tell you."
"He has already made the curved plow you mentioned the day before yesterday."
When Qin Ming heard this, he clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"Okay, great, it's finally done."
After speaking, Qin Ming turned to look at Old Yao, rubbed his hands and said:
"Mr. Yao, could you please wait here for a moment? I have to go to the academy with Zijun to have a look."
When old man Yao heard Yang Zijun talking about Qu Yuanli and saw Qin Ming so happy, he started to worry about it.
He stroked his long beard and asked with a smile:
"Sir, can you take me to the academy with you?"
Qin Ming hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but finally nodded.
A quarter of an hour later,
Qin Ming and his party arrived at the institute at the innermost part of the academy.
Standing outside the research institute, Zhao Sanlang, who was looking forward to seeing Qin Ming and his party, quickly came up to greet them.
"Zhao Shisan has met the mountain chief and Dean Yang."
Qin Ming smiled and helped the Thirteenth Master Zhao up in front of him.
"There's no need to be polite, Manager Zhao, take us to see that curved shaft plow!"
Zhao Shisan said with excitement:
"Shan Chief, please come in. The curved shaft plow is in the small courtyard behind Zhao."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this, and then took the lead into the yard.
There were two young men in the yard at this time. They were shirtless, driving a strange curved shaft plow one behind the other, plowing a newly opened vegetable field in the yard!
When the two young men heard the movement in the yard, they quickly stopped what they were doing, stood there and bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"I've met the mountain chief."
Qin Ming waved his hand and said:
"No need to be polite."
After finishing speaking, Qin Ming pointed to the curved plow between the two and asked:
"Since you have already used this curved shaft plow, why not tell me how this curved shaft plow compares to the previous straight plow?"
The two young men looked at each other after hearing this, and then the young man who had just been standing in front pulling the plow said with a smile:
"Shan Chief, this curved shaft plow is much better than a straight plow. If it were a straight plow, I wouldn't be able to pull it with my strength."
"But this curved shaft plow is different. The boy can pull it by himself. It's amazing!"
At this time, Zhao Shisan on the side pointed at the vegetable field they had just plowed and said:
"This curved shaft plow is not just about saving labor. Master, you can see over there. The furrows plowed by this curved shaft plow are quite deep!"
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, then smiled at Zhao Shisan and said:
"Manager Zhao, you did a good job this time, and I will give you a second-class merit award!"
Zhao Shisan was overjoyed when he heard this!
Nowadays, the Qin Mansion has regulations. As long as you obtain second-class merit three times, or first-class merit once, you can leave your humble status!
This is great news to most of the craftsmen at the institute!
It is incomparable to any other monetary reward!
Nowadays, there are many craftsmen who have escaped from humble status through merit.
One of them happens to be Zhao Shisan’s good friend. His name is Liu Shiqi. He is currently responsible for smelting steel in Zhuangzi and is already the director of the first factory!
In order to make this Quyuanli achieve the desired effect of the young master, Zhao Shisan had two drinks with his friend Liu Shiqi at all costs! Only then a steel plow tip was forged from him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shisan hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, Thirteen took it upon himself to ask Liu Shiqi from the steel mill for some steel, and replaced the original iron plow tips with steel ones."
"Please ask the mountain chief to punish you!"
Qin Ming smiled and patted Zhao Shisan on the shoulder and said:
"It's nothing but a trivial matter, but have you ever tested which one is better, the iron plow tip or the steel plow tip?"
Zhao Shisan said without hesitation:
"My subordinates have done tests and found that steel plow points are better!"
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
"It's good that it has been tested, but if you need materials such as steel next time, you must report it to the government in advance, you know?"
Zhao Shisan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he heard this, bowed and said:
"Subordinate, I understand!"
