Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

After Dongqing served the tea, the little tiger drank some and sat upright on the head seat, looking like an old cadre in a meeting.

Tong Ran couldn't help laughing, but was yelled at by the little tiger.

Tong Ran was relieved that the boy was under his nose, and after laughing, he talked about cotton with Cang Ping.

Tong Ran said that this time it was just a small test, and the amount of cotton needed in the future will be even greater.But Cang Ping said that he couldn't provide it, not only Fan's, but Dacheng as a whole could not provide such a large amount of cotton.After all, dignitaries don't like to wear this stuff, and ordinary people can't afford it. The economic value is small, and there are few people to support it.That's all, there are quite a few picked from the yards of some wealthy families, if you want more, then there are none.

This situation was beyond Tong Ran's expectation. Cotton was too common in the era he lived in, and he had no awareness of lack of cotton at all.

"It's because I didn't think carefully." Tong Ran said.

Cang Ping was puzzled: "Master Tong, can you tell me what is the use of so much cotton?"

Cang Ping is Fan Heng's confidant and also counts as one of his own.Tong Randao: "Cotton keeps warm, can be used to make clothes and fill bedding. I want to build a factory for processing cotton."

"What is a factory?" Cang Ping asked.

Dacheng's manufacturing industry is mainly based on family workshops, and there is no concept of a factory, so even Jinhejian's large iron-making workshop is only called a workshop, not a factory.

"Large-scale workshops have hundreds or thousands of workers working at the same time." Tong Ran explained.

Cang Ping blinked, suspecting that he had heard wrong.He has followed Fan Heng for a long time, and he has seen the world. Apart from the mines of the imperial court and the places where coins and weapons are minted, where are there workshops with thousands of people?It's no surprise that Tong Ran is an official, but he dares to think better than them who are in business.

"If you hire thousands of people to peel the cotton, you will need more raw materials," Cang Ping said.

Tong Ranqi said: "Who said that I will hire thousands of people to peel cotton. Of course, the cotton peeling is left to the machine."

Cang Ping can understand the word machine, there is a spinning wheel for spinning thread, and a loom for weaving cloth, but it takes a pair of skillful hands to peel cotton, how can it be handed over to equipment?

Tong Ran laughed and said: "After my cotton factory is built, Cang Guanshi will be able to see it. I just need to trouble you to find a source of cotton for me, but don't worry about my cotton factory being built and the cotton is not in place yet. "

Cang Ping saw that he was confident, so he didn't think too much about it, it was time to just wait and see.

Cang Ping: "Go west from Longyou, bypass a snow-capped mountain, and then go south. There is a peacock country, which is rich in cotton. My Fan family has frequent contacts with the caravans there. Let me inquire about it for you."

Tong Ran sketched in his mind, the mountains and rivers here are not exactly the same as his original world, but they are generally similar.According to what Cang Ping said, this so-called Peacock Kingdom is probably in the Indian subcontinent.India is the origin of cotton and it seems the same is the case here.

"That's great, then let Cang take care of it." Tong Ranyi said.

"Don't dare." Cang Ping returned the salute.

Afterwards, Tong Ran stayed with Cang Ping for dinner, and the little tiger sat at the same table.

Cang Ping was lucky enough to have had dinner with Tong Ran several times, and he has long been used to this scene, but today is slightly different.

There are several plates in front of the little tiger, all of which are meat specially for it.Tong Ran picked up a piece of chicken, put it on the plate in front of the little tiger and said, "Zai Zai, eat the chicken."

With a wave of his paw, the little tiger pulled the chicken out of the plate and ate the fish that Dongqing had caught.

Dongqing was too frightened to speak, he was worried that Tong Ran would get angry because of this, but the little tiger urged him to pick up vegetables.He had no choice but to take another piece of pork with trepidation, and the little tiger ate it very quickly.Tong Ran picked up the broth and handed it to its mouth, but the little tiger turned away and ignored it.

Just came to the main hall, it was to understand Tong Ran's dynamics, for the sake of the country and the people's livelihood, but it doesn't mean that it will calm down.

Serving it a tiger is not enough, but also want to raise a cat?impossible.

The little tiger concentrated on eating and ignored Tong Ran.

The little brat didn't make noise, just ignored him, Tong Ran couldn't help it, the brat was so dependent on him, this time it might really make him sad, and he had to think of a way.

After Cang Ping left, Tong Ran was out of business, so he gave Dongqing a vacation and stayed with the little tiger himself.

The little tiger wanted to wash its paws, but Dongqing was not there, so it reluctantly handed its paws to Tong Ran, and stubbornly turned its head away.With a smile, Tong Ran washed its paws clean, dried them, and finally squeezed its pads.

"Wow!" The little tiger drew back his paw.

Zai Zai ignored him, and Tong Ran was very happy.

After coming and going, the little tiger was irritated no less than ten times, but it was all trivial things, and it couldn't get angry even if it wanted to.In the end, I felt that Tong Ran's way of teasing it...was a little cute.

The room was hot, and the servants adjusted the hot water for Tong Ran before leaving the door.

Tong Ran took off her clothes and walked towards the little tiger on the bed.

"Wow!" The little tiger immediately became alert and fled to the back.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Tong Ran picked up the back of the dog and walked towards the bathtub: "Come take a bath with brother, and our grievances will be wiped out."

"Wow!" Rogue!

After coaxing the little tiger, Tong Ran quickly devoted himself to building a new workshop.

There are still a lot of empty land in Jinhejian, which is not suitable for farming, but it is just right for building factories.Tong Ran made a circle, and transferred a group of workers from the iron mine to build a cotton factory building.

These workers were the ones who did the renovation of the miners’ residential area before. They are already very good at building houses with cement and bricks, but this time the house is relatively large, and Tong Ran added some steel structures to the design drawings. .

It was Tong Ran's first time doing this, and he took Fu Xuan together to do a lot of small experiments before deciding on the final plan.

During the experiment, Tong Ran could not avoid writing and calculating, and Fu Xuan's eyes were straightened when he looked at the formulas he listed.Curiously: "Brother Tong, what did you list? Where did you learn it from?"

"I learned it by chance." Tong Ran said.

At the same time, he made the last stroke and came to the answer. Righteousness gathered around him, which clearly came from the path of invention and creation.

"You lied to me!" Fu Xuan had just stepped into the mysterious steps not long ago, and he immediately sensed the source of righteousness, and said loudly.

Tong Ran laughed dryly. The amount of positive energy gathered was not small. Most of it came from the path of invention and creation, and the other half came from the path of reform and innovation. When he broke through to the middle grade of the earth rank, the cyclone swirled, even if Fu Xuan's grade was lower than his, he could tell.

"I learned by chance that there are so many righteousness in the way of invention and creation? Brother Tong, you don't have to fool me, you invented this yourself, right?" Fu Xuan said.

Tong Ran rolled his eyes in his heart. Now that he was playing too much, he shouldn't do the calculation directly in front of Fu Xuan for convenience.Once this righteousness comes, nothing can be hidden.

These things don't exist in this world yet, and he used them first, and they were automatically counted as his inventions.That’s all. There are still capable people who invented many things in history, but this is nearly 2000 years ahead of physics and mathematics knowledge, as well as a complete set of symbol systems that have never been seen before. Even if Einstein is reborn, there is no such invention. Legally speaking, it is too unbelievable.

"I... made some improvements, so there is a way to invent and create. In fact, there are many ways to innovate and reform. You are of a low grade, so you don't feel it." Tong Ran said.

The grade of Fu Yu is low, so there is indeed the possibility of inaccurate induction.He was skeptical at first, but seeing Tong Ran's calm face, he also believed it.

"Then where did you learn it by chance?" Fu Xuan asked.

"I don't remember." Tong Ran said, "I have lost my memory. I only remember these formulas, who taught them, and where they are, I have forgotten."

Tong Ran's amnesia is not a secret, Fu Xuan immediately believed it, and he sighed: "It must be a very knowledgeable old man, it would be great if he is willing to come out to be an official."

After finally being fooled, Tong Ran breathed a sigh of relief and echoed, "Yes, yes, what a pity."

What a pity... The little tiger wagged its tail and walked around Tong Ran and Fu Xuan twice.

Fu Xuan's low grade will make you feel wrong, but it is not low.The righteousness just now was aimed at these symbols written by Tong Ran. Most of them came from the way of invention and creation, and only a few of them came from the way of innovation and reform.But no matter which one, the capacity is extremely large.

How long has he been promoted to the earth rank?It turned out to be mid-grade.

The little tiger was secretly speechless.

It can be seen that whether it is the steam engine before or these symbols today, they are all extremely important things to gather righteousness so quickly.

Since the last time he lost his temper, Tong Ran has taken the little tiger with him every day.

The little boy didn't grow up, but he became more and more kingly. Every time he was working, the little boy was on the sidelines to supervise the work.Sometimes I look around at a commanding height, and sometimes I walk around a few times, as if checking his achievements.

Don't mention how cute the boy is with such a serious look, Tong Ran couldn't help but want to sneak a peek.It's a pity that the evil claws haven't been stretched out yet, Fu Xuan said: "Brother Tong, if you have the opportunity, you can teach me this, no, you can't just teach me, I should show it to the doctors in the court, and the people from the Ministry of Industry, they are right There is also a lot of research in arithmetic!"

This thing is a bit shocking, Tong Ran didn't want to spread it so quickly, but said: "Take it easy, don't talk nonsense when you go out, I have too many eyes on me, so I need to keep a low profile."

Fu Xuan came from a big family, and he immediately understood.Tong Ran is too outstanding, and people who stand out from the crowd are always easy to be followed by many malicious eyes, so it's better to keep this matter a secret for now.

"Understood Brother Tong." Fu Xuan said.

With Fu Xuan's consent, Tong Ran's advanced formulas were temporarily kept secret.After they made a plan, the workers started to work.

Tong Ran went to the site to supervise the work every day, and Little Tiger also went to the site to supervise the work every day.It is not afraid of getting dirty when it comes to the construction site, just like sneaking into the iron workshop before, and sneaking into the iron workshop not long ago, it just takes a look at it when it is dirty, as if there are big things waiting for it to do, and it has no time. Don't care about these little things.

Of course, every day when you go back to Yali, you must take a shower.Tong Ran had to wash too, otherwise the little tiger wouldn't let him go to bed.

In order to save time, Tong Ran took the little tiger to bathe with him every day. The little tiger was not happy at first, but became numb after more times.
