Ancient Fortune Records
Chapter 32
It is impossible to be a cook. Shen Li looked at this good-looking aristocratic boy and said the word Wangfu, and noticed that the young silver armor who spoke was the one who brought back the abducted children in the village, so he quickly reminded him father.
Originally, the villagers thought this gentleman was unattainable, but upon hearing from Shen Li that it was this gentleman's subordinates who saved the village children, they all went home one after another and brought out decent food to express their gratitude, but they were all heard of. Bai He refused.
Shen Laiqiu suddenly realized that this gentleman is the eldest son.If the prince wants to find someone who burns fairy grass, he must tell the truth: "I am a glutton, so I thought of some strange things myself, and I am grateful to the prince for liking them. My family made a lot of fairy grass a few days ago, and the prince likes it. The villain likes it." I'll put it all on for you."
Wen Bohe's fingers moved, and Guo Yi hurriedly said: "If you have any novelties in your home, you can take them out, and the prince will give you all at the market price."
Shen Laiqiu was anxious: "How can this work? Strictly speaking, you are the benefactor of Shenjia Village, and even our family. No, I will only give it away, not sell it."
Shen Li thought for a while, "Father, take out the brown sugar I made last time, as well as the brown sugar cake and chicken cake."
Wen Bohe looked at Shen Li who looked like a little adult, and asked curiously, "What is brown sugar?"
Shen Li opened the greased paper containing the brown sugar, and Wen Bohe saw grains of tiny red sand-like things, but the texture was still somewhat transparent. Wen Bohe dipped some with his chopsticks, smelled it first, and felt a wave of Sweet and fragrant, he nodded as if he knew it, and then sent it to his mouth to taste.
"This is red granulated sugar, but it looks finer and more transparent." Wen Baihe is obviously very interested in this.
Shen Li said: "On the market, there is only brown sugar with many impurities and it is not good to drink. This is different. We have improved the sugar making technology and can produce loose brown sugar. Even, we can make sugar like snowflakes, white sugar .”
Wei Zhi stepped forward to taste it, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the aristocratic family in the south has a special production of brown sugar, which is shipped to the north and called tribute sugar. The price is expensive, and the quality is not as good as this one. Brown sugar and spleen soothe the liver. It is especially necessary for women to replenish and activate blood, and it is very beneficial for children to drink it, and it can also expel cold symptoms and detoxify."
Shen Li is satisfied, he is a person who knows the goods, and has a good character and a strong background. If he relies on this to get on this thick leg, what is he afraid of?Do whatever you want to do!So like a little mouse that just stole fish, he was secretly happy.
Wen Bohe smiled faintly, "You also came up with this?"
Shen Li said: "That's not all, my father takes the main credit, it's just my greed. My father was afraid that I would spoil my stomach, so he boiled Ganto juice, added some things by accident, and then made it into what it is now. It looks like it."
Wen Bohe took out 1000 taels of silver note: "What about white sugar, and how is it made?"
From his point of view, this little guy may not be greedy, but love money.It is estimated that the current earning business of his family is all thought of by this child, but he is afraid of being taken away by thieves, so he dare not tell the outside world.It's just that this kid doesn't hide his uniqueness in front of him. Is it because he believes in his own character?
Shen Li smiled slyly: "If you agree to my request, my son, I will give you the method of making white sugar and brown sugar for free! Such brown sugar is not the best, I have a better recipe!"
Guo Yi frightened him and said: "You yellow-mouthed child, you are so disrespectful to the son, and you don't tell me what you know quickly? The son is not the kind of person who is greedy for cheap, so naturally your benefits are indispensable. Besides, the son has good things for you Well, if you talk about the conditions again, is it the work of a gentleman?"
Gentleman?I am not a gentleman.I am a villain, both physically and mentally!Shen Li has a calm face, unlike the children of ordinary families, who has a thin skin and hides behind his parents after being reprimanded, unwilling to speak.
Shen Li said with a straight face: "Brown sugar and white sugar should be things that ordinary people can use, but because they are not available in the market, my family dare not use them. However, women give birth and babies grow up, and they cannot do without such things. If the prince sets the price of brown sugar and white sugar extremely high, what use is it for me to make brown sugar? Although I am a yellow-mouthed child, I know the stakes. If the prince agrees to set the price of brown sugar and white sugar at the same level as table salt , I also dare to give this thing to the prince."
Seeing that Guo Yi was on the verge of getting angry, Shen Li smiled slightly, and changed his tone: "It's just that I know that my son is a beautiful jade in this world, with a noble character, and he is not comparable to my children. I am talking too much, so don't blame me."
Wearing thousands of clothes, flattering but not wearing, if you want to promote, you will first suppress, the son of the world should not be offended... right?
Wen Bohe picked up a piece of brown sugar cake, tasted it, frowned, obviously he didn't like sweet food, but he finished it anyway.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Li with a half-smile: "These requests are nothing, if you come to the palace to be my schoolboy, I can promise you anything."
Shen Li's face was full of shit, this expression made Wen Baihe laugh out loud, and laughed away all the nobility in his body, a blush appeared on his slightly pale face, it was so beautiful, Shen Li was a little dumbfounded Living.
Obviously before this guy came here, he was the prettiest kid in the village!
Wen Bohe patted Shen Li on the shoulder: "You are very good." The child still knows how to fight for the people's interests, but some foodies talk about being loyal to the emperor and worrying about the people, and they are doing scandalous things in private.When he went to Bianjing this time, he found a lot of dog things that should be skinned and cramped. Just watch, one day, sooner or later, these animals will spit out everything they eat, and pay for their lives!
When Shen Li heard that Bai He didn't really want him to be a book boy, he immediately felt relieved, and even made a cup of fragrant milk tea with dried jasmine, crushed red fruit, burnt jelly, and homemade pearl fruit.
The tea of this era is really not good.The tea cake is chopped up, ground into powder, sieved with a sieve of tea powder, and then directly boiled into a paste, and salt, onion, ginger, orange peel, and mint are added to it.A cup of refreshment, Shen Li never wants to take a second sip, mouth area.
Wen Bohe took the so-called milk tea and looked at it. The color is light brown, and there are dark brown beads floating on it. It looks good and smells special.
He just took a sip and felt that it tasted better than Huihe Shangjing's Daigo.It's not because the goat's milk used is better, but because it's processed better, without any milky smell, and the taste is peculiar, half milk and half tea.
Shen Li smiled and said: "This is milk tea made from black tea, and the green milk is made from green tea, and it tastes good too."
Wen Bohe regretted it, he still wanted this kid to be his cook.But listening to this kid's conversation, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary kid. It is said that he has also studied, and he might be able to make great things in the future.
Looking into Shen Liyuan's eyes, pure and somewhat innocent, I'm afraid I don't know how powerful what I made is enough to destroy a family that lives on sugar.Thinking of this, Wen Bohe untied his jade tablet like a ghost, and stuffed it into Shen Li's hand.
"If you have something to do, go to the county magistrate. The county magistrate will know what to do when he sees this brand. When the time is right, your family can start a brown sugar business. If you can't do it now, I'm afraid someone who is interested will miss it. It will take three months at the shortest time, and at the later In one year, I will make brown sugar affordable for every household, is that okay?"
Once the cold and beautiful boy is warmed up, his lethality is always so great. Shen Li felt dizzy when he looked at this person's eyes.He rubbed his face with his hands, telling himself not to be seduced by beauty, to be calm and calm...
"Do you want a milk tea recipe? It's easy to drink at home."
Wen Bohe looked at the child with sparkling eyes and a small tail dangling triumphantly behind him, and listened to his description of how to make milk tea with a smile.
"You keep the money. It's a partnership between us. As for the thieves, someone will tell you the result later."
Wei Zhi said: "Qingyan Luoguo probably belongs to Zhang's family in Bianjing, only his family owns it in Bianjing, but the Shen family is a farmer's family, so it's not likely to do such a murderous thing. Has your family offended anyone?"
Shen Li shook his head, he didn't know either.The previous kidnapping incident must have passed, and he didn't know who would attack him.Out of caution, he still told about the abductee before. When he said that he beat two grown men to the ground by himself, Guo Yi suddenly laughed.
"You, a little doll, can actually defeat a strong adult, I don't believe it!"
Shen Li easily lifted a stone weighing about sixty kilograms, and Guo Yi swallowed.Really strange things happen every year, especially this year.
Wen Bohe was also a little surprised, but he still knew the priorities, and scolded Guo Yi, only listening to Shen Li tell the whole thing.
He pondered for a while, recalling the files he had read earlier, "It must have been done by the evil monks, they would also cultivate this kind of thing in private."
A few years ago, some evil monks specially abducted boys and girls. When they were young, they took blood and made pills for those patients who could not seek medical treatment and came to pray for Buddha. One such pill can get a hundred taels of silver, maybe The prescriptions are indeed effective, and some people who recover from illness will respect these evil monks even more.When these children grow up, the girls are sold and made into slaves, handmaidens, or even prostitutes, and the boys are sent to do coolies, so as to control those children for a lifetime.Most of the drugs used to control those boys and girls are poisons that can be detoxified. Among them, the green yanluo fruit is the most suitable for controlling people, because it will cause colic pain after taking it, and the green yanluo fruit is also called red yanluo fruit when it is ripe. Detoxifying, and, addictive.
It was the first time for Shen Li to hear such a miraculous and disgusting thing.
"Evil monk, haven't you been dealt with?"
Wen Bohe looked into his clean eyes, "People's hearts are evil. If one party is eradicated, others will follow suit. As long as it is profitable, they will find ways to make a profit. This time you catch kidnappers, it is a thread to bury them here If it is eradicated, it is natural to hold a grudge."
Shen Laiqiu was very worried: "Then what should we do in the future? There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief!"
Wei Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it won't work this time, and they dare not come. Tell your village to pay attention to outsiders, especially monks. Take good care of the children, and nothing will happen. This time we met Come on, this evil monk won't be at large for a few days."
Only then did Shen Laiqiu feel relieved, also, Shizi has many talented people under his command, and he will never let the evil monk go unpunished.He just needs to take good care of his son and not let him be taken captive.
Guo Yi took a piece of paper handed over from the outside, looked at it for a while, and reported: "My son, they recruited, and he was sent by Liang Chengwen from Fulu Casino. He is the owner of Fulu Casino, because the previous The case of child abduction damaged the reputation, so I held a grudge and invited these desperadoes to trouble the Shen family and his son."
Shen Li suddenly realized that there was some grudge in his heart, the key point was that he actually believed that their family had an ancient book introducing these prescriptions, so the hatred and greed in his heart made him lose his mind.
"The subordinates have already gone to arrest people, but no casualties have been caused, and as long as he refuses to admit it, we can't directly kill him."
Wen Bohe frowned beautifully: "I don't even know that the son killed someone, so what reason do I need?"
Guo Yi nodded, that's right, their son was too gentle today, making him forget his son's handling habits.It would be great if the prince was this gentle every day, is he much worse than Shen Li?Is it really because Shen Li can cook that the Crown Prince takes a fancy to him?I don't understand.
Shen Li doesn't have a good impression of people who want to kill his whole family. It's really great that the prince can help him deal with it.
Thinking of watching TV dramas in the past, the rich and powerful always communicated with each other, and they would choose to write secret letters because they were afraid of being seen.He has many ways to write secret letters here, what if the prince can use it?
Before Wen Bohe left, Shen Li wrote all the methods of writing 'invisible characters' on a piece of paper, put it in his purse, and handed it to Wen Bohe.Wen Bohe smiled, "You boy, what good thing are you giving me now?"
Shen Li covered his eyes, wow, this boy really can't laugh, his smile is too dazzling.He waved his hand, thinking that Fulu Casino could solve it perfectly without his own action. For the first time, he realized what it meant to be rich and powerful.Evil feudal society, but, thinking of Wen Bohe's indifferent face, there will always be a hint of hatred and hatred, and he feels inexplicably happy.The privileges of feudal society are in the hands of some people, who choose to split it on the bad guys.
"Your Majesty is such a good man!"
The villagers in Shenjia Village are getting better and better now. People in other villages now give priority to men from Shenjia Village when they marry girls, because they can make tofu, rattan pepper oil and pepper oil. This is a steady stream of interest.The mountain land bought by their village is either planted with kudzu roots or fruit trees. If these can be sold at a price, then Shenjia Village will be able to change the land again.
The old man sat on the stone at the door and drank porridge, his toothless mouth was shriveled, but he still had a smile on his face. He talked to his wife about the days of war and starvation. If you have enough to eat, eat more, don’t be frugal. We are making money now, and the tofu is selling so well that the neighboring county towns come to buy it. Our village should be renamed as Tofu Village now.”
The old man chuckled: "Tofu Village? It still has to be called Shenjia Village, Shen Laiqiu's Shen! If it weren't for him, would we be here today? Some people feel aggrieved after three months of free work. Gossiping, saying that Shen Laiqiu provokes thieves, so the village might not be safe! Pooh! If Laiqiu hadn’t told you the recipe for making tofu, let alone thieves! Even mice would despise poverty here!”
The faces of the other people who heard it were a little red. They had heard these words, but they didn't deny them.To put it this way, it really makes them feel ashamed.
The old man sighed and said: "You have never lived that kind of life. When I was young, my parents left early, and I didn't even know how to farm, but who will teach me? How much money can I get from farming? Tofu is no better than farming. How to make money? He is willing to teach you! What rattan pepper oil, prickly ash oil? If Shen Laiqiu doesn’t teach you, you can get money? Now that you have money, you only think about the bad! That’s shameful! That’s not human!”
People who had complained about Shen Laiqiu before, but they were beaten up by these words, and they dared not speak up. They just sold tofu silently. Those who got close to him were also afraid of being gossiped behind their backs by this person, and never got along with each other again. He communicates.
Shen Laiqiu didn't pay so much attention, and Shen Li didn't pay much attention.Now uncle's eldest son lives next door to Shen Li's room, he is obviously a little cautious.The furniture in Shen Li's house is all red lacquered wood, and the furniture is also made of copper, which looks very expensive.When he first came here, he didn't dare to use those copper basins to wash his face.What makes Yu even more sad is that the child is unwilling to eat enough, and puts it down every time he eats a bowl, saying that it is embarrassing to eat too much as a guest.It was still Shen Li who was careful, knowing that he was not full, so he insisted on filling three bowls of food and told him to finish them all.
Yu said: "You are visiting relatives, I am your aunt! What is there to be ashamed of? If you do this again, I will not ask your uncle to teach you how to write! Didn't you say that you want to come to the grain store that our family is going to open Do you want to be a shopkeeper? If you can’t read, you can’t be a shopkeeper.”
Yu Liang scratched his head in embarrassment, but my aunt was so kind, she even made him clothes, including two sets of muslin inners, two pairs of soft-soled shoes, and thick duck down trousers and goose down jacket.He does very little, just clean up and help make tofu.If he is willing to make tofu by himself and sell it outside, as long as he gives the capital to his uncle, the money he earns will be his own. He has been here for five days, and he has earned what his father earned in seven days, and he is not tired.
"Cousin, treat this place as your own home, don't be polite." Shen Li was always full of pity for such a child who matured early.In the poor peasant families in ancient times, there would always be such children. They were tolerant, hardworking, and obedient. They grew up year after year and became numb adults who were exhausted and their stomachs were not full. Then a group of children followed them. The same as when I was a child, a patient, hardworking and obedient child.
Chaojun doesn’t know the future, and chrysalis doesn’t know the age. Sometimes their life is really similar to Chaojun and chrysalis, but they live longer than Chaojun and chrysalis, but they haven’t experienced anything. They are born busy, So busy filling your stomach, or so busy that you can’t fill it, that there’s simply no room to think about anything else.
What Shen Li used to think was that he didn't need to burden himself too much, but he could do what he could.
Now that Shenjia Village has made a fortune, other places are still very poor.As soon as Shen Li opened the gate of the courtyard, he could see many porters hunched over, carrying goods from far away to sell, and then leaving with tofu from Shenjia Village.A woman came to do business with a child on her back. The child was dressed dirty and sat on the floor nibbling on the same dirty hands. When the woman made money, she picked up the child and kissed it affectionately, then put it down and continued make money.The old man is weaving hemp rope. Because there are so many traders of this kind of hemp rope, he can always sell a lot... Everyone is struggling to survive.
what else can I do?Why do I have the favor of God?
An aristocrat like Shizi who holds privileges in his hands is still willing to run around for the promotion of the ordinary people, but God did not give Shizi the experience of time travel.
"I'm just an ordinary person!"
Shen Laiqiu found that his son had been silent a lot recently, and when he was doing things, he was always absent-minded, as if he had a lot of things on his mind.
"Father, if you become like Shizi, what do you want to do?"
Shen Laiqiu laughed at Shen Li: "Why, do you want your father to earn you a title? Well, not everyone is a good son, there are emperors, princes, and other nobles on top, if you are favored , that is even more unbelievable, how many pairs of eyes are needed to stare at it! With the family background of the prince, and the ability of the prince, if he can get credit for it, who is not afraid? Who is not in awe? If I were the prince, I would not be able to do those things that the prince does. I heard that he would even skin the officials! He is really kind and ruthless! I guess, just to enjoy the wealth, it is worthwhile to come to this world Suffer!"
"But Dad, even though you are rich now, you don't think about enjoying wealth, you are still working! It can be seen that you will not be idle when you become a prince."
Shen Laiqiu nodded, and agreed: "Yes, I'm just a farmer, I can't be free anymore!"
Dad is the material for farming, what am I?Shen Li pondered.
It was spring, and when Shen Li was about to study, he learned that his husband was going to continue the scientific examination. He expressed his reluctance and was unwilling to go to school.He has read all the books that should be read.The characters here are similar to the characters he learned from ancient books back then. In terms of accumulation, no teacher here can compare to him.
What's more, at this time the scientific examination also stipulated the age, he was only seven years old, and he had to wait until he was ten years old to take the exam.Ten to 70 years old is the age that can take the scientific examination, because the examiners are afraid that the examination will be too intensive, and if someone dies, he will commit crimes.
When the weather gets warmer, everyone starts to plow the land. There is no shortage of water here, so the yield of paddy fields and dry land is very good.
Shen Laiqiu felt that the land was enough, so he didn't give the 1000 taels silver note that Hua Shizi gave, and the silver note was well hidden.There are still 50 taels of broken silver at home and thirty guan of copper coins, which are completely enough.Because most of the fields are in Zhuangzi, Shen Li's family moved to live in Zhuangzi.
Shen Li still didn't know that the plowing tools used at this moment were actually long straight plows. This kind of plow was very heavy and difficult to turn. It was very difficult to plow the land. The curved plow was different. And U-turn is very convenient.Moreover, plow evaluation and plow construction are added on the basis of the original, which can better adapt to the different requirements of deep plowing and shallow plowing.
After making the Quyuanli, Shen Laiqiu didn't want to try it at first, because the Zhiyuanli passed down from his ancestors would never make any big mistakes, but under Shen Li's insistence, he was still willing to give it a try.
"Oh, this is so light. What is it? It can crush the soil and push it aside. It's really easy!" Shen Laiqiu simply took the cow aside to rest, and put on the song by himself. Plowing the ground, Shen Li watched his father having fun in the field like a husky, and couldn't help but touch his forehead.
Shen Li said: "Father, make a few more, we will definitely be able to plow our land sooner, and we can rent it out to people in the village." Nowadays, iron is expensive, although Quyuanli only has a plow shovel, and the plow wall is made of iron, but it is not unusual. They probably don't want to spend so much money. His family has the money to make Quyuanli, so they can make a few more and rent them to the villagers or the neighbors next door at a low price.His family can't lose money, and it's also convenient for others to use.
Shen Laiqiu nodded, "Okay, you can find a blacksmith to make it yourself, ask the carpenter to assemble it for you, and ask the servant to accompany you to pick it up when it is ready. I will inform you in the village."
Shen Li thought for a while, "Father, I'm afraid it's not enough. The prince left me a jade card. This Qu Yuanli is a good thing, maybe it can be promoted."
Shen Laiqiu wiped off his sweat, "Indeed, people who can't afford cattle can plow the land by themselves with Quyuanli. People who have cattle can also save energy for cattle with Quyuanli." How precious a cow is, no matter how precious it is.
Shen Li felt that, anyway, the Quyuanli was finished, and the bobbin cart was also quite good.But the structure of the drum car is a bit more complicated, especially the high drum car. When he was studying history, he was very curious about this kind of farm tool, and he even found a model to see how it works. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is really true. is infinite.
They are not short of water here, but irrigation still requires manpower. With so much manpower saved, how much tofu can be sold and how many families can be fed?In a small way, it saves labor and the crops grow better. In a big way, it saves the lives of farmers.High-intensity work will inevitably consume a lot of energy. Once excessive, the body's wear and tear will accumulate over time, so the ancients did not live long.
He worked for three days before successfully making a set of models.But Shen Li was still dissatisfied. He made a very precise model of each type of ordinary drum car, high drum car, and wind-powered water wheel.
After finishing, the relevant usage and construction method were written on a piece of silk cloth, densely packed, which made the county magistrate's head hurt.But it's fine if he doesn't read what other people write, and the left and right are asking to be promoted to be an official.But Shen Li is different, he came up and gave such detailed models, and the pig's brain understands that this is a good thing.
He asked the agricultural officer to make a curved plow, and he tried plowing the field himself. After trying it, he couldn't feel any effort.His wife mocked: "You know how to sort out cases all day long. How have you ever been in the field? Do you know how heavy the plow used to be, and how difficult it was to use? Go and try it, and make sure you won't be able to straighten your waist at night." stand up."
The county magistrate was not convinced, "I am also a farming and studying family, how can I look down on others?"
After a while, the county magistrate struggled out of the field with his waist, and said weakly: "It really saves effort, it's a good thing."
Now he felt much more at ease, knowing that Shen Li was not aimlessly targeting, he could safely transport these things to the palace with peace of mind, and begged to see him with the jade card.
Shen Li didn't know the follow-up, his own Zhuangzi had already started making bobbins.Zhuang Pu heard that in the future even water can automatically irrigate the fields, so he couldn't help looking at Shen Li with eyes like looking at a god.
However, the bobbin cart is not applicable everywhere. It needs to lay two hard piles on the bank where the current is very fast, make a big wheel, and then rest the axle of the big wheel on the pile fork. The upper part of the big wheel needs to be higher than The embankment, the lower half of which is to be submerged in water, is free to turn.
"...As soon as the big wheel turns, the bamboo tubes tied obliquely on the outer water collection board will fill with water. When the bucket is full of water, when it turns to the top of the wheel, the mouth of the tube will tilt downwards. So that the water just fits into the tank and flows down the tank to the field."
In a royal manor, Wen Bohe was introducing the bobbin cart to the most respected person in Dazhao. He had a lot of capable people, and he finished this thing in three to five days. He also made it clear in the memorial that this is a merit that will last forever and will benefit all generations. good stuff.
The agricultural administrator asked someone to demonstrate it to Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Wonderful! God bless me! If such useful agricultural tools are spread all over the world, how many farmers will alleviate the pain of farming!"
Wen Bohe was very surprised that a child could come up with such a complicated thing. This Shen Li even used what he called 'invisible characters' in the letter to tell him not to tell the emperor that he made it.
But Wen Bohe felt that Shen Li was overly cautious, those in power would only be happy because of the appearance of a child prodigy, and would not misunderstand him as a monster just because he was young and knew so many things.There are still many monsters in the Jokhang Dynasty, such as Master Liu Yunchen who started to be the prime minister at the age of 13, and his eldest son who memorized all military books at the age of six.
Wen Bohe thought for a while, but he still said that these were all thought up by Shen Li, and this child, who is only seven years old, improved it based on the previous farm tools because he cared about his parents' hard work in the field and thought hard.
When Emperor Xuan heard this, he stroked his beard very proudly, and the high eunuch beside him immediately boasted: "Your Majesty has great blessings and protects the people of Liming, so Dazhao can be full of talents and help His Majesty create a prosperous world!"
Emperor Xuan smiled and pointed at Eunuch Gao: "You, you, you can praise a living person to immortality with just one mouth!"
Emperor Xuan stroked these novel agricultural tools with satisfaction, and patted Wen Bohe on the shoulder: "Bohe, you have made great achievements this time, and you know someone who is just a child prodigy! Tell me, this time What reward?"
Wen Bohe smiled slightly: "The envoys from the Western Regions should be received by my ministers."
Emperor Xuan frowned: "What kind of reward is this? How about you get another one?"
Wen Bohe said: "I'm very interested in agates and gemstones from the Western Regions, and I just want to talk about these things with them."
Emperor Xuan frowned slightly: "There are no treasures in the palace, but they just miss outsiders. Well, as long as you are happy." This child has a lot of ideas since he was a child, and he is also old. He can't interfere too much with the younger generation. It's really bad, who knew that this bad kid chose such a thing.
Emperor Xuan happily chatted with Wen Bohe for a while, then returned to the palace to draw up an order to reward Shen Tong, who was newly released from the oven.
Shen Laiqiu didn't know that Qu Yuanli had alarmed the emperor, and because of the drum car and Qu Yuanli, everyone in Dazhao would enjoy the story of Shen Li, a child prodigy, who improved farm tools because of his filial piety for a long time to come. Dao, and Shen Li, unexpectedly became a model for the common people to educate their younger generations to be filial to their parents in the future, and was even recorded in the annals of history and classics.
This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.
Since Yu Xinghong got the blueprint from Shen Li, he started making such new objects.He felt that the rocking chair could be made of more expensive wood so that it could be sold at a higher price.The rest can be made of cheap wood, and when he makes money, he can even open a store to sell these things.If he made money, he distributed the interest to his nephew.
"The temple fair is going to be held soon. You go home first and help your father with the work. He has a lot of work there. I'm afraid he'll be too busy to catch up and get tired." Mrs. Yu packed up a lot of cakes and goat's milk and put them in the Seal it in the jar, "This is for your two younger brothers. Your snacks are in another package. After going home for a few days, the temple fair is over, and you still come to my aunt's house. My aunt will cook something delicious for you."
Yu Liang knew that he couldn't refuse, thanked him without saying anything, and rushed home.
Yu Liang learned how to drive, and drove home in a donkey cart.Yu Shi looked at her son, who was busy with Qu Yuanli and the drum car these days, and didn't sleep well for several nights. She was so distressed that she didn't want to wake him up during the day.
Shen Li slept so dimly that day, he woke up only to realize that it was already night.He was a little dizzy, and when he touched his forehead, he seemed to be a little hot.It's bad, it's because I've been too focused these days, plus I'm tired, and it's cold in the spring, so I may have caught a cold.
Without further ado, I asked his mother to make him a bowl of red ginger tea. Brown sugar and ginger are good things to keep out the cold. .
This made Shen Li pay attention a little bit. You must know that in ancient times, a small cold could lead to the death of a child.And in spring, when the virus is rampant, there are some things that need to be prevented early.
The first is the health issue.When he first came to Shenjia Village, he felt that the place was smelly, and the smell of feces was everywhere.When his father became rich and had the right to speak in the village, he discussed with the head of the village and the village. Every household came out to clean on a fixed date, and the manure could be used to fertilize the field. To solve physiological problems on the side of the road, whoever is responsible for bringing the excrement of animals back to their own cesspools.
Shen Li even designed public toilets, so that foreign businessmen have a convenient place. There are people in the village who clean the toilets, and the village raises funds to pay these people's wages.Later, someone suggested that people who are not in business should be given time to do cleaning work, and then paid. Some people were willing to do this kind of work, and soon Shenjia Village became much cleaner, and the businessmen who came to buy food felt more at ease.
A large part of the reason why Shenjia Village's business is good is because of its cleanliness!Make people feel at ease just looking at it.
But to keep it clean, in addition to cleaning, it also needs external support, such as soap.There are no soaps on the market today, only saponins.Soap locust is easy to use, but its decontamination ability is not as good as soap.
Shen Li asked Zhuang Pu to bring him an old pot, took a long wooden stick, put the old pot on a built-up simple stove, put an appropriate amount of lard into the pot, poured caustic soda, and kept adding water Stir continuously, add water if there is less water, add caustic soda if there is not enough caustic soda, and boil continuously until soap liquid can be produced.The soap liquid also needs to be salted out to separate the impurities and sewage in the soap liquid in the pot. After salting out, heat it for a period of time, stop stirring, and then cover the pot and wait for three to five hours. It can be cooked.
"It's a good thing it was made during the day, otherwise why would I stay awake at night and look at it?" Shen Li had never made soap before, so he didn't know that it took so long to make soap.
After waiting for a while, Zhuang Pu took out the layer of soap foam according to Shen Li's instructions, and then put the soap liquid into the iron box. Blend until smooth, then wait for it to cool and set.
This kind of simple soap is khaki in color and not particularly attractive. Shen Li tried to cut them evenly with a knife. There is no mold, so I haven't had time to make it. If I make the mold in the future, maybe I can make printed soap.
Soap is something that every household in modern times buys for one or two yuan. It is easy to wash clothes, and the price is very cheap.Shen Li didn't intend to set the price of soap very expensive, a piece of soap the size of a palm only cost four pennies.And it's thick enough to last a long time.
With soap, the clothes don't need to be beaten with a wild hammer, which saves some clothes.As long as you publicize the benefits of soap, I believe someone will buy it.
He made a lot of soaps that look like samples of modern cosmetics, and let customers who come to buy tofu or pepper oil take a piece of soap home and use it for washing hands or clothes.
On this day, the ladies are very happy to know that there is such a useful cleaning tool as soap.The children of some of them are just like monkeys. Their faces and hands turn black and black at night, and they can't be washed clean.
When this soap is soaked in water, just rub it on your hands and face at will, rub it to create bubbles, and then rinse it with water, and the housewives will harvest a clean child.
The man who bought the tofu that day was warmly greeted by his wife at night, asking where he bought the soap, and if it was cheap, he had to sell it for a few more dollars.It's so gentle and careless, can men not buy it?purchase!
There were also quite a few discerning businessmen who rushed to Shenjia Village non-stop: "Soap! How many are there?"
Originally, the villagers thought this gentleman was unattainable, but upon hearing from Shen Li that it was this gentleman's subordinates who saved the village children, they all went home one after another and brought out decent food to express their gratitude, but they were all heard of. Bai He refused.
Shen Laiqiu suddenly realized that this gentleman is the eldest son.If the prince wants to find someone who burns fairy grass, he must tell the truth: "I am a glutton, so I thought of some strange things myself, and I am grateful to the prince for liking them. My family made a lot of fairy grass a few days ago, and the prince likes it. The villain likes it." I'll put it all on for you."
Wen Bohe's fingers moved, and Guo Yi hurriedly said: "If you have any novelties in your home, you can take them out, and the prince will give you all at the market price."
Shen Laiqiu was anxious: "How can this work? Strictly speaking, you are the benefactor of Shenjia Village, and even our family. No, I will only give it away, not sell it."
Shen Li thought for a while, "Father, take out the brown sugar I made last time, as well as the brown sugar cake and chicken cake."
Wen Bohe looked at Shen Li who looked like a little adult, and asked curiously, "What is brown sugar?"
Shen Li opened the greased paper containing the brown sugar, and Wen Bohe saw grains of tiny red sand-like things, but the texture was still somewhat transparent. Wen Bohe dipped some with his chopsticks, smelled it first, and felt a wave of Sweet and fragrant, he nodded as if he knew it, and then sent it to his mouth to taste.
"This is red granulated sugar, but it looks finer and more transparent." Wen Baihe is obviously very interested in this.
Shen Li said: "On the market, there is only brown sugar with many impurities and it is not good to drink. This is different. We have improved the sugar making technology and can produce loose brown sugar. Even, we can make sugar like snowflakes, white sugar .”
Wei Zhi stepped forward to taste it, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the aristocratic family in the south has a special production of brown sugar, which is shipped to the north and called tribute sugar. The price is expensive, and the quality is not as good as this one. Brown sugar and spleen soothe the liver. It is especially necessary for women to replenish and activate blood, and it is very beneficial for children to drink it, and it can also expel cold symptoms and detoxify."
Shen Li is satisfied, he is a person who knows the goods, and has a good character and a strong background. If he relies on this to get on this thick leg, what is he afraid of?Do whatever you want to do!So like a little mouse that just stole fish, he was secretly happy.
Wen Bohe smiled faintly, "You also came up with this?"
Shen Li said: "That's not all, my father takes the main credit, it's just my greed. My father was afraid that I would spoil my stomach, so he boiled Ganto juice, added some things by accident, and then made it into what it is now. It looks like it."
Wen Bohe took out 1000 taels of silver note: "What about white sugar, and how is it made?"
From his point of view, this little guy may not be greedy, but love money.It is estimated that the current earning business of his family is all thought of by this child, but he is afraid of being taken away by thieves, so he dare not tell the outside world.It's just that this kid doesn't hide his uniqueness in front of him. Is it because he believes in his own character?
Shen Li smiled slyly: "If you agree to my request, my son, I will give you the method of making white sugar and brown sugar for free! Such brown sugar is not the best, I have a better recipe!"
Guo Yi frightened him and said: "You yellow-mouthed child, you are so disrespectful to the son, and you don't tell me what you know quickly? The son is not the kind of person who is greedy for cheap, so naturally your benefits are indispensable. Besides, the son has good things for you Well, if you talk about the conditions again, is it the work of a gentleman?"
Gentleman?I am not a gentleman.I am a villain, both physically and mentally!Shen Li has a calm face, unlike the children of ordinary families, who has a thin skin and hides behind his parents after being reprimanded, unwilling to speak.
Shen Li said with a straight face: "Brown sugar and white sugar should be things that ordinary people can use, but because they are not available in the market, my family dare not use them. However, women give birth and babies grow up, and they cannot do without such things. If the prince sets the price of brown sugar and white sugar extremely high, what use is it for me to make brown sugar? Although I am a yellow-mouthed child, I know the stakes. If the prince agrees to set the price of brown sugar and white sugar at the same level as table salt , I also dare to give this thing to the prince."
Seeing that Guo Yi was on the verge of getting angry, Shen Li smiled slightly, and changed his tone: "It's just that I know that my son is a beautiful jade in this world, with a noble character, and he is not comparable to my children. I am talking too much, so don't blame me."
Wearing thousands of clothes, flattering but not wearing, if you want to promote, you will first suppress, the son of the world should not be offended... right?
Wen Bohe picked up a piece of brown sugar cake, tasted it, frowned, obviously he didn't like sweet food, but he finished it anyway.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Li with a half-smile: "These requests are nothing, if you come to the palace to be my schoolboy, I can promise you anything."
Shen Li's face was full of shit, this expression made Wen Baihe laugh out loud, and laughed away all the nobility in his body, a blush appeared on his slightly pale face, it was so beautiful, Shen Li was a little dumbfounded Living.
Obviously before this guy came here, he was the prettiest kid in the village!
Wen Bohe patted Shen Li on the shoulder: "You are very good." The child still knows how to fight for the people's interests, but some foodies talk about being loyal to the emperor and worrying about the people, and they are doing scandalous things in private.When he went to Bianjing this time, he found a lot of dog things that should be skinned and cramped. Just watch, one day, sooner or later, these animals will spit out everything they eat, and pay for their lives!
When Shen Li heard that Bai He didn't really want him to be a book boy, he immediately felt relieved, and even made a cup of fragrant milk tea with dried jasmine, crushed red fruit, burnt jelly, and homemade pearl fruit.
The tea of this era is really not good.The tea cake is chopped up, ground into powder, sieved with a sieve of tea powder, and then directly boiled into a paste, and salt, onion, ginger, orange peel, and mint are added to it.A cup of refreshment, Shen Li never wants to take a second sip, mouth area.
Wen Bohe took the so-called milk tea and looked at it. The color is light brown, and there are dark brown beads floating on it. It looks good and smells special.
He just took a sip and felt that it tasted better than Huihe Shangjing's Daigo.It's not because the goat's milk used is better, but because it's processed better, without any milky smell, and the taste is peculiar, half milk and half tea.
Shen Li smiled and said: "This is milk tea made from black tea, and the green milk is made from green tea, and it tastes good too."
Wen Bohe regretted it, he still wanted this kid to be his cook.But listening to this kid's conversation, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary kid. It is said that he has also studied, and he might be able to make great things in the future.
Looking into Shen Liyuan's eyes, pure and somewhat innocent, I'm afraid I don't know how powerful what I made is enough to destroy a family that lives on sugar.Thinking of this, Wen Bohe untied his jade tablet like a ghost, and stuffed it into Shen Li's hand.
"If you have something to do, go to the county magistrate. The county magistrate will know what to do when he sees this brand. When the time is right, your family can start a brown sugar business. If you can't do it now, I'm afraid someone who is interested will miss it. It will take three months at the shortest time, and at the later In one year, I will make brown sugar affordable for every household, is that okay?"
Once the cold and beautiful boy is warmed up, his lethality is always so great. Shen Li felt dizzy when he looked at this person's eyes.He rubbed his face with his hands, telling himself not to be seduced by beauty, to be calm and calm...
"Do you want a milk tea recipe? It's easy to drink at home."
Wen Bohe looked at the child with sparkling eyes and a small tail dangling triumphantly behind him, and listened to his description of how to make milk tea with a smile.
"You keep the money. It's a partnership between us. As for the thieves, someone will tell you the result later."
Wei Zhi said: "Qingyan Luoguo probably belongs to Zhang's family in Bianjing, only his family owns it in Bianjing, but the Shen family is a farmer's family, so it's not likely to do such a murderous thing. Has your family offended anyone?"
Shen Li shook his head, he didn't know either.The previous kidnapping incident must have passed, and he didn't know who would attack him.Out of caution, he still told about the abductee before. When he said that he beat two grown men to the ground by himself, Guo Yi suddenly laughed.
"You, a little doll, can actually defeat a strong adult, I don't believe it!"
Shen Li easily lifted a stone weighing about sixty kilograms, and Guo Yi swallowed.Really strange things happen every year, especially this year.
Wen Bohe was also a little surprised, but he still knew the priorities, and scolded Guo Yi, only listening to Shen Li tell the whole thing.
He pondered for a while, recalling the files he had read earlier, "It must have been done by the evil monks, they would also cultivate this kind of thing in private."
A few years ago, some evil monks specially abducted boys and girls. When they were young, they took blood and made pills for those patients who could not seek medical treatment and came to pray for Buddha. One such pill can get a hundred taels of silver, maybe The prescriptions are indeed effective, and some people who recover from illness will respect these evil monks even more.When these children grow up, the girls are sold and made into slaves, handmaidens, or even prostitutes, and the boys are sent to do coolies, so as to control those children for a lifetime.Most of the drugs used to control those boys and girls are poisons that can be detoxified. Among them, the green yanluo fruit is the most suitable for controlling people, because it will cause colic pain after taking it, and the green yanluo fruit is also called red yanluo fruit when it is ripe. Detoxifying, and, addictive.
It was the first time for Shen Li to hear such a miraculous and disgusting thing.
"Evil monk, haven't you been dealt with?"
Wen Bohe looked into his clean eyes, "People's hearts are evil. If one party is eradicated, others will follow suit. As long as it is profitable, they will find ways to make a profit. This time you catch kidnappers, it is a thread to bury them here If it is eradicated, it is natural to hold a grudge."
Shen Laiqiu was very worried: "Then what should we do in the future? There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief!"
Wei Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, it won't work this time, and they dare not come. Tell your village to pay attention to outsiders, especially monks. Take good care of the children, and nothing will happen. This time we met Come on, this evil monk won't be at large for a few days."
Only then did Shen Laiqiu feel relieved, also, Shizi has many talented people under his command, and he will never let the evil monk go unpunished.He just needs to take good care of his son and not let him be taken captive.
Guo Yi took a piece of paper handed over from the outside, looked at it for a while, and reported: "My son, they recruited, and he was sent by Liang Chengwen from Fulu Casino. He is the owner of Fulu Casino, because the previous The case of child abduction damaged the reputation, so I held a grudge and invited these desperadoes to trouble the Shen family and his son."
Shen Li suddenly realized that there was some grudge in his heart, the key point was that he actually believed that their family had an ancient book introducing these prescriptions, so the hatred and greed in his heart made him lose his mind.
"The subordinates have already gone to arrest people, but no casualties have been caused, and as long as he refuses to admit it, we can't directly kill him."
Wen Bohe frowned beautifully: "I don't even know that the son killed someone, so what reason do I need?"
Guo Yi nodded, that's right, their son was too gentle today, making him forget his son's handling habits.It would be great if the prince was this gentle every day, is he much worse than Shen Li?Is it really because Shen Li can cook that the Crown Prince takes a fancy to him?I don't understand.
Shen Li doesn't have a good impression of people who want to kill his whole family. It's really great that the prince can help him deal with it.
Thinking of watching TV dramas in the past, the rich and powerful always communicated with each other, and they would choose to write secret letters because they were afraid of being seen.He has many ways to write secret letters here, what if the prince can use it?
Before Wen Bohe left, Shen Li wrote all the methods of writing 'invisible characters' on a piece of paper, put it in his purse, and handed it to Wen Bohe.Wen Bohe smiled, "You boy, what good thing are you giving me now?"
Shen Li covered his eyes, wow, this boy really can't laugh, his smile is too dazzling.He waved his hand, thinking that Fulu Casino could solve it perfectly without his own action. For the first time, he realized what it meant to be rich and powerful.Evil feudal society, but, thinking of Wen Bohe's indifferent face, there will always be a hint of hatred and hatred, and he feels inexplicably happy.The privileges of feudal society are in the hands of some people, who choose to split it on the bad guys.
"Your Majesty is such a good man!"
The villagers in Shenjia Village are getting better and better now. People in other villages now give priority to men from Shenjia Village when they marry girls, because they can make tofu, rattan pepper oil and pepper oil. This is a steady stream of interest.The mountain land bought by their village is either planted with kudzu roots or fruit trees. If these can be sold at a price, then Shenjia Village will be able to change the land again.
The old man sat on the stone at the door and drank porridge, his toothless mouth was shriveled, but he still had a smile on his face. He talked to his wife about the days of war and starvation. If you have enough to eat, eat more, don’t be frugal. We are making money now, and the tofu is selling so well that the neighboring county towns come to buy it. Our village should be renamed as Tofu Village now.”
The old man chuckled: "Tofu Village? It still has to be called Shenjia Village, Shen Laiqiu's Shen! If it weren't for him, would we be here today? Some people feel aggrieved after three months of free work. Gossiping, saying that Shen Laiqiu provokes thieves, so the village might not be safe! Pooh! If Laiqiu hadn’t told you the recipe for making tofu, let alone thieves! Even mice would despise poverty here!”
The faces of the other people who heard it were a little red. They had heard these words, but they didn't deny them.To put it this way, it really makes them feel ashamed.
The old man sighed and said: "You have never lived that kind of life. When I was young, my parents left early, and I didn't even know how to farm, but who will teach me? How much money can I get from farming? Tofu is no better than farming. How to make money? He is willing to teach you! What rattan pepper oil, prickly ash oil? If Shen Laiqiu doesn’t teach you, you can get money? Now that you have money, you only think about the bad! That’s shameful! That’s not human!”
People who had complained about Shen Laiqiu before, but they were beaten up by these words, and they dared not speak up. They just sold tofu silently. Those who got close to him were also afraid of being gossiped behind their backs by this person, and never got along with each other again. He communicates.
Shen Laiqiu didn't pay so much attention, and Shen Li didn't pay much attention.Now uncle's eldest son lives next door to Shen Li's room, he is obviously a little cautious.The furniture in Shen Li's house is all red lacquered wood, and the furniture is also made of copper, which looks very expensive.When he first came here, he didn't dare to use those copper basins to wash his face.What makes Yu even more sad is that the child is unwilling to eat enough, and puts it down every time he eats a bowl, saying that it is embarrassing to eat too much as a guest.It was still Shen Li who was careful, knowing that he was not full, so he insisted on filling three bowls of food and told him to finish them all.
Yu said: "You are visiting relatives, I am your aunt! What is there to be ashamed of? If you do this again, I will not ask your uncle to teach you how to write! Didn't you say that you want to come to the grain store that our family is going to open Do you want to be a shopkeeper? If you can’t read, you can’t be a shopkeeper.”
Yu Liang scratched his head in embarrassment, but my aunt was so kind, she even made him clothes, including two sets of muslin inners, two pairs of soft-soled shoes, and thick duck down trousers and goose down jacket.He does very little, just clean up and help make tofu.If he is willing to make tofu by himself and sell it outside, as long as he gives the capital to his uncle, the money he earns will be his own. He has been here for five days, and he has earned what his father earned in seven days, and he is not tired.
"Cousin, treat this place as your own home, don't be polite." Shen Li was always full of pity for such a child who matured early.In the poor peasant families in ancient times, there would always be such children. They were tolerant, hardworking, and obedient. They grew up year after year and became numb adults who were exhausted and their stomachs were not full. Then a group of children followed them. The same as when I was a child, a patient, hardworking and obedient child.
Chaojun doesn’t know the future, and chrysalis doesn’t know the age. Sometimes their life is really similar to Chaojun and chrysalis, but they live longer than Chaojun and chrysalis, but they haven’t experienced anything. They are born busy, So busy filling your stomach, or so busy that you can’t fill it, that there’s simply no room to think about anything else.
What Shen Li used to think was that he didn't need to burden himself too much, but he could do what he could.
Now that Shenjia Village has made a fortune, other places are still very poor.As soon as Shen Li opened the gate of the courtyard, he could see many porters hunched over, carrying goods from far away to sell, and then leaving with tofu from Shenjia Village.A woman came to do business with a child on her back. The child was dressed dirty and sat on the floor nibbling on the same dirty hands. When the woman made money, she picked up the child and kissed it affectionately, then put it down and continued make money.The old man is weaving hemp rope. Because there are so many traders of this kind of hemp rope, he can always sell a lot... Everyone is struggling to survive.
what else can I do?Why do I have the favor of God?
An aristocrat like Shizi who holds privileges in his hands is still willing to run around for the promotion of the ordinary people, but God did not give Shizi the experience of time travel.
"I'm just an ordinary person!"
Shen Laiqiu found that his son had been silent a lot recently, and when he was doing things, he was always absent-minded, as if he had a lot of things on his mind.
"Father, if you become like Shizi, what do you want to do?"
Shen Laiqiu laughed at Shen Li: "Why, do you want your father to earn you a title? Well, not everyone is a good son, there are emperors, princes, and other nobles on top, if you are favored , that is even more unbelievable, how many pairs of eyes are needed to stare at it! With the family background of the prince, and the ability of the prince, if he can get credit for it, who is not afraid? Who is not in awe? If I were the prince, I would not be able to do those things that the prince does. I heard that he would even skin the officials! He is really kind and ruthless! I guess, just to enjoy the wealth, it is worthwhile to come to this world Suffer!"
"But Dad, even though you are rich now, you don't think about enjoying wealth, you are still working! It can be seen that you will not be idle when you become a prince."
Shen Laiqiu nodded, and agreed: "Yes, I'm just a farmer, I can't be free anymore!"
Dad is the material for farming, what am I?Shen Li pondered.
It was spring, and when Shen Li was about to study, he learned that his husband was going to continue the scientific examination. He expressed his reluctance and was unwilling to go to school.He has read all the books that should be read.The characters here are similar to the characters he learned from ancient books back then. In terms of accumulation, no teacher here can compare to him.
What's more, at this time the scientific examination also stipulated the age, he was only seven years old, and he had to wait until he was ten years old to take the exam.Ten to 70 years old is the age that can take the scientific examination, because the examiners are afraid that the examination will be too intensive, and if someone dies, he will commit crimes.
When the weather gets warmer, everyone starts to plow the land. There is no shortage of water here, so the yield of paddy fields and dry land is very good.
Shen Laiqiu felt that the land was enough, so he didn't give the 1000 taels silver note that Hua Shizi gave, and the silver note was well hidden.There are still 50 taels of broken silver at home and thirty guan of copper coins, which are completely enough.Because most of the fields are in Zhuangzi, Shen Li's family moved to live in Zhuangzi.
Shen Li still didn't know that the plowing tools used at this moment were actually long straight plows. This kind of plow was very heavy and difficult to turn. It was very difficult to plow the land. The curved plow was different. And U-turn is very convenient.Moreover, plow evaluation and plow construction are added on the basis of the original, which can better adapt to the different requirements of deep plowing and shallow plowing.
After making the Quyuanli, Shen Laiqiu didn't want to try it at first, because the Zhiyuanli passed down from his ancestors would never make any big mistakes, but under Shen Li's insistence, he was still willing to give it a try.
"Oh, this is so light. What is it? It can crush the soil and push it aside. It's really easy!" Shen Laiqiu simply took the cow aside to rest, and put on the song by himself. Plowing the ground, Shen Li watched his father having fun in the field like a husky, and couldn't help but touch his forehead.
Shen Li said: "Father, make a few more, we will definitely be able to plow our land sooner, and we can rent it out to people in the village." Nowadays, iron is expensive, although Quyuanli only has a plow shovel, and the plow wall is made of iron, but it is not unusual. They probably don't want to spend so much money. His family has the money to make Quyuanli, so they can make a few more and rent them to the villagers or the neighbors next door at a low price.His family can't lose money, and it's also convenient for others to use.
Shen Laiqiu nodded, "Okay, you can find a blacksmith to make it yourself, ask the carpenter to assemble it for you, and ask the servant to accompany you to pick it up when it is ready. I will inform you in the village."
Shen Li thought for a while, "Father, I'm afraid it's not enough. The prince left me a jade card. This Qu Yuanli is a good thing, maybe it can be promoted."
Shen Laiqiu wiped off his sweat, "Indeed, people who can't afford cattle can plow the land by themselves with Quyuanli. People who have cattle can also save energy for cattle with Quyuanli." How precious a cow is, no matter how precious it is.
Shen Li felt that, anyway, the Quyuanli was finished, and the bobbin cart was also quite good.But the structure of the drum car is a bit more complicated, especially the high drum car. When he was studying history, he was very curious about this kind of farm tool, and he even found a model to see how it works. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is really true. is infinite.
They are not short of water here, but irrigation still requires manpower. With so much manpower saved, how much tofu can be sold and how many families can be fed?In a small way, it saves labor and the crops grow better. In a big way, it saves the lives of farmers.High-intensity work will inevitably consume a lot of energy. Once excessive, the body's wear and tear will accumulate over time, so the ancients did not live long.
He worked for three days before successfully making a set of models.But Shen Li was still dissatisfied. He made a very precise model of each type of ordinary drum car, high drum car, and wind-powered water wheel.
After finishing, the relevant usage and construction method were written on a piece of silk cloth, densely packed, which made the county magistrate's head hurt.But it's fine if he doesn't read what other people write, and the left and right are asking to be promoted to be an official.But Shen Li is different, he came up and gave such detailed models, and the pig's brain understands that this is a good thing.
He asked the agricultural officer to make a curved plow, and he tried plowing the field himself. After trying it, he couldn't feel any effort.His wife mocked: "You know how to sort out cases all day long. How have you ever been in the field? Do you know how heavy the plow used to be, and how difficult it was to use? Go and try it, and make sure you won't be able to straighten your waist at night." stand up."
The county magistrate was not convinced, "I am also a farming and studying family, how can I look down on others?"
After a while, the county magistrate struggled out of the field with his waist, and said weakly: "It really saves effort, it's a good thing."
Now he felt much more at ease, knowing that Shen Li was not aimlessly targeting, he could safely transport these things to the palace with peace of mind, and begged to see him with the jade card.
Shen Li didn't know the follow-up, his own Zhuangzi had already started making bobbins.Zhuang Pu heard that in the future even water can automatically irrigate the fields, so he couldn't help looking at Shen Li with eyes like looking at a god.
However, the bobbin cart is not applicable everywhere. It needs to lay two hard piles on the bank where the current is very fast, make a big wheel, and then rest the axle of the big wheel on the pile fork. The upper part of the big wheel needs to be higher than The embankment, the lower half of which is to be submerged in water, is free to turn.
"...As soon as the big wheel turns, the bamboo tubes tied obliquely on the outer water collection board will fill with water. When the bucket is full of water, when it turns to the top of the wheel, the mouth of the tube will tilt downwards. So that the water just fits into the tank and flows down the tank to the field."
In a royal manor, Wen Bohe was introducing the bobbin cart to the most respected person in Dazhao. He had a lot of capable people, and he finished this thing in three to five days. He also made it clear in the memorial that this is a merit that will last forever and will benefit all generations. good stuff.
The agricultural administrator asked someone to demonstrate it to Emperor Xuan. Emperor Xuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Wonderful! God bless me! If such useful agricultural tools are spread all over the world, how many farmers will alleviate the pain of farming!"
Wen Bohe was very surprised that a child could come up with such a complicated thing. This Shen Li even used what he called 'invisible characters' in the letter to tell him not to tell the emperor that he made it.
But Wen Bohe felt that Shen Li was overly cautious, those in power would only be happy because of the appearance of a child prodigy, and would not misunderstand him as a monster just because he was young and knew so many things.There are still many monsters in the Jokhang Dynasty, such as Master Liu Yunchen who started to be the prime minister at the age of 13, and his eldest son who memorized all military books at the age of six.
Wen Bohe thought for a while, but he still said that these were all thought up by Shen Li, and this child, who is only seven years old, improved it based on the previous farm tools because he cared about his parents' hard work in the field and thought hard.
When Emperor Xuan heard this, he stroked his beard very proudly, and the high eunuch beside him immediately boasted: "Your Majesty has great blessings and protects the people of Liming, so Dazhao can be full of talents and help His Majesty create a prosperous world!"
Emperor Xuan smiled and pointed at Eunuch Gao: "You, you, you can praise a living person to immortality with just one mouth!"
Emperor Xuan stroked these novel agricultural tools with satisfaction, and patted Wen Bohe on the shoulder: "Bohe, you have made great achievements this time, and you know someone who is just a child prodigy! Tell me, this time What reward?"
Wen Bohe smiled slightly: "The envoys from the Western Regions should be received by my ministers."
Emperor Xuan frowned: "What kind of reward is this? How about you get another one?"
Wen Bohe said: "I'm very interested in agates and gemstones from the Western Regions, and I just want to talk about these things with them."
Emperor Xuan frowned slightly: "There are no treasures in the palace, but they just miss outsiders. Well, as long as you are happy." This child has a lot of ideas since he was a child, and he is also old. He can't interfere too much with the younger generation. It's really bad, who knew that this bad kid chose such a thing.
Emperor Xuan happily chatted with Wen Bohe for a while, then returned to the palace to draw up an order to reward Shen Tong, who was newly released from the oven.
Shen Laiqiu didn't know that Qu Yuanli had alarmed the emperor, and because of the drum car and Qu Yuanli, everyone in Dazhao would enjoy the story of Shen Li, a child prodigy, who improved farm tools because of his filial piety for a long time to come. Dao, and Shen Li, unexpectedly became a model for the common people to educate their younger generations to be filial to their parents in the future, and was even recorded in the annals of history and classics.
This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.
Since Yu Xinghong got the blueprint from Shen Li, he started making such new objects.He felt that the rocking chair could be made of more expensive wood so that it could be sold at a higher price.The rest can be made of cheap wood, and when he makes money, he can even open a store to sell these things.If he made money, he distributed the interest to his nephew.
"The temple fair is going to be held soon. You go home first and help your father with the work. He has a lot of work there. I'm afraid he'll be too busy to catch up and get tired." Mrs. Yu packed up a lot of cakes and goat's milk and put them in the Seal it in the jar, "This is for your two younger brothers. Your snacks are in another package. After going home for a few days, the temple fair is over, and you still come to my aunt's house. My aunt will cook something delicious for you."
Yu Liang knew that he couldn't refuse, thanked him without saying anything, and rushed home.
Yu Liang learned how to drive, and drove home in a donkey cart.Yu Shi looked at her son, who was busy with Qu Yuanli and the drum car these days, and didn't sleep well for several nights. She was so distressed that she didn't want to wake him up during the day.
Shen Li slept so dimly that day, he woke up only to realize that it was already night.He was a little dizzy, and when he touched his forehead, he seemed to be a little hot.It's bad, it's because I've been too focused these days, plus I'm tired, and it's cold in the spring, so I may have caught a cold.
Without further ado, I asked his mother to make him a bowl of red ginger tea. Brown sugar and ginger are good things to keep out the cold. .
This made Shen Li pay attention a little bit. You must know that in ancient times, a small cold could lead to the death of a child.And in spring, when the virus is rampant, there are some things that need to be prevented early.
The first is the health issue.When he first came to Shenjia Village, he felt that the place was smelly, and the smell of feces was everywhere.When his father became rich and had the right to speak in the village, he discussed with the head of the village and the village. Every household came out to clean on a fixed date, and the manure could be used to fertilize the field. To solve physiological problems on the side of the road, whoever is responsible for bringing the excrement of animals back to their own cesspools.
Shen Li even designed public toilets, so that foreign businessmen have a convenient place. There are people in the village who clean the toilets, and the village raises funds to pay these people's wages.Later, someone suggested that people who are not in business should be given time to do cleaning work, and then paid. Some people were willing to do this kind of work, and soon Shenjia Village became much cleaner, and the businessmen who came to buy food felt more at ease.
A large part of the reason why Shenjia Village's business is good is because of its cleanliness!Make people feel at ease just looking at it.
But to keep it clean, in addition to cleaning, it also needs external support, such as soap.There are no soaps on the market today, only saponins.Soap locust is easy to use, but its decontamination ability is not as good as soap.
Shen Li asked Zhuang Pu to bring him an old pot, took a long wooden stick, put the old pot on a built-up simple stove, put an appropriate amount of lard into the pot, poured caustic soda, and kept adding water Stir continuously, add water if there is less water, add caustic soda if there is not enough caustic soda, and boil continuously until soap liquid can be produced.The soap liquid also needs to be salted out to separate the impurities and sewage in the soap liquid in the pot. After salting out, heat it for a period of time, stop stirring, and then cover the pot and wait for three to five hours. It can be cooked.
"It's a good thing it was made during the day, otherwise why would I stay awake at night and look at it?" Shen Li had never made soap before, so he didn't know that it took so long to make soap.
After waiting for a while, Zhuang Pu took out the layer of soap foam according to Shen Li's instructions, and then put the soap liquid into the iron box. Blend until smooth, then wait for it to cool and set.
This kind of simple soap is khaki in color and not particularly attractive. Shen Li tried to cut them evenly with a knife. There is no mold, so I haven't had time to make it. If I make the mold in the future, maybe I can make printed soap.
Soap is something that every household in modern times buys for one or two yuan. It is easy to wash clothes, and the price is very cheap.Shen Li didn't intend to set the price of soap very expensive, a piece of soap the size of a palm only cost four pennies.And it's thick enough to last a long time.
With soap, the clothes don't need to be beaten with a wild hammer, which saves some clothes.As long as you publicize the benefits of soap, I believe someone will buy it.
He made a lot of soaps that look like samples of modern cosmetics, and let customers who come to buy tofu or pepper oil take a piece of soap home and use it for washing hands or clothes.
On this day, the ladies are very happy to know that there is such a useful cleaning tool as soap.The children of some of them are just like monkeys. Their faces and hands turn black and black at night, and they can't be washed clean.
When this soap is soaked in water, just rub it on your hands and face at will, rub it to create bubbles, and then rinse it with water, and the housewives will harvest a clean child.
The man who bought the tofu that day was warmly greeted by his wife at night, asking where he bought the soap, and if it was cheap, he had to sell it for a few more dollars.It's so gentle and careless, can men not buy it?purchase!
There were also quite a few discerning businessmen who rushed to Shenjia Village non-stop: "Soap! How many are there?"
