The Reborn Wife is Farming

After the new year, the stewards of the glass workshop and the watch workshop talked back and forth. Because of the blueprints provided by Mu Yangling, they worked hard for several months in the watch workshop, and finally made a few, but the steward felt that the watch was worn on his hand. It's not beautiful at all, let's not talk about women, only men, who would roll up their sleeves to see the time?

How ugly.

The literati are so wide-sleeved, it is not easy for the warriors to take this action, not to mention the common people, they still can't afford such expensive things.

Mu Yangling patted his forehead and said, "Then make it look like a pocket watch."

"Pocket watch?"

"Just wear it on your body. You can put it in your purse and hang it on your body." Mu Yangling briefly talked about the chain, and then said: "In short, it's just a change of appearance. You can ask the craftsmen to think about how to wear things well. Whatever it is made of."

Mu Yangling said: "Now that the watch is made, try to make other clocks, such as hanging on the wall, placing on the table, telling the time, and alarming. In short, you can think about it yourself. I will teach you one by one."

The steward of the watch workshop responded quickly.

Mu Yangling looked at the manager of the glass workshop, and he hurriedly stepped forward to report, "According to your instructions, the workshop has already made a mirror with relatively high transparency, which can illuminate people quite clearly."

The steward of the glass workshop asked someone to lift a mirror. The mirror was a full-length mirror, which was much clearer than the bronze mirror, without that yellowish and hazy look. This made Mu Yangling, who was used to the bronze mirror, slightly astonished. Compared with the smooth and translucent mirror in the previous life, it is still much worse. The mirror is still a little hazy, and it can be seen that there are still many impurities in it.

Glass has existed since ancient times, and the formula can be found in ancient books. It can be said that the formula for making glass is not difficult to obtain, but the difficulty lies in refining the furnace and removing impurities in the glass.

Burning glass requires a very high temperature, and to remove the impurities in it, the formula must be improved, and the cost must be reduced and the output increased. It can be said that a glass workshop that is crossing the river by feeling stones is better than a clock with blueprints and breakthroughs. The workshop is difficult to break through.

Mu Yangling has always said that the funds are sufficient, so that the craftsmen can work together, and she will pack a big red envelope for any improvement that can be made, so that the two stewards can pass on the incentive mechanism. In a word, she believes in the power of the people.

At this time, Little Bear was also standing seriously on the rock, and said to a group of friends with snot noses: "Everyone work together, I believe the big guys will definitely come up with a good solution."

The little lion took the lead in responding, "We must believe in the power of the people!"

A group of children below looked at the four of them blankly.

Little Xiong slowly took off his purse, poured out a handful of golden nudes from it, and said, "Whoever has a good idea, I will reward him with money after it proves to be effective."

The originally quiet child suddenly became excited, and an older child first pushed away and raised his hand and shouted: "I know, break open the shell and stuff the sand in."

"No way," Hutou shouted, "I've tried it, but I can't break it. I'm stronger than you."

The older child was a little disappointed immediately, and said unwillingly, "Why don't you let me try it."

"Okay," Little Bear nodded, "If you can make it open its mouth and stuff the sand in, I'll give you this golden nude."

A group of children's eyes were red, and they came up with ideas one after another. One said to guard the clam and stuff the sand into it after it opened its mouth. …

Xiao An curiously asked the child where the clam's creaking nest was, which made the child blush.

The last group of children went to the sea area where Xiaoxiong and the others raised sea mussels, and everyone worried about the sea mussels they caught.

They have already failed twice, and this time they encountered a problem again. If they can't solve it this time, then their efforts for more than a year will be in vain.

At first, Xiaoxiong and the others planned to dig a pond in Taosheng and their fishing village to raise sea mussels, but for some unknown reason, many sea mussels died within a month after leaving the sea. Mu Yangling said it was water quality, water pressure, etc. The problem is that some birds will die if they leave their native land.

So Xiaoxiong and his children abandoned the pond. Since the sea clams are reluctant to part with their hometown, let him live in their hometown. Isn't their hometown the sea?

Xiaoxiong took the four children into the government office with their heads held high, and wanted to rent a piece of sea area with the government to raise mussels. He had heard of renting a house and land, but he had never heard of renting the sea. The fight went out, but these four young masters couldn't afford to mess with any of them.

There was no other way, so I went to ask the magistrate, who knew that the magistrate just asked them why they rented the sea, and when they got the answer, they patted their butts and left, leaving them with the sentence "act according to the system and cheap".

This sentence worried the official. If it was according to the system, it should be rejected, because there is no precedent for renting the sea, but there is a "cheap" son, that is to tell him to act cheaply, that is to agree?

The official looked at the four young masters embarrassingly, and finally gritted his teeth and said that the sea is a place for fishermen to fish, and he can't rent them too much space. He prayed in his heart that the four young masters would not blow Guangzhou The sea outside was completely drawn, otherwise the fishermen would have to rebel.

The little bears discussed it with Mu Yangling before they came. Mu Yangling asked them to rent the sea as long as there are more rocks, and there are few places where fishermen go fishing to catch the sea.

Taosheng still took them to investigate in advance, so Xiaoxiong quickly drew a small circle on the chart, indicating that they would rent this place.

When the officials saw it, they breathed a sigh of relief. There were many reefs near the coast, and no one went there to catch the sea, and there were reefs here and there on the sea. I chose to fish there, so renting out this area has no impact on the government at all.

Knowing that the four young masters were coming to raise pearls, three black lines slid down the official's forehead. He seemed to understand why the magistrate turned around and left. Isn't this a child's play?

However, the four young masters of the Wang Mansion and the Duke's Mansion also played house a bit too much, and even rented the sea.

As for the rent, the official only charged a symbolic amount. For such a large piece of sea area, he charged five taels of silver a year.

Xiaoxiong originally only wanted to rent it for five years, but when he saw it was so cheap, he waved his hand and rented it for twenty years.

It would be a loss if this sea area is only used to raise sea mussels. The little bear will go to the water market from time to time to have a look, and when he sees the smaller sea fish, crabs and lobsters, he will buy them back in large quantities and throw them in. sea ​​field.

It didn't take long for fishermen to know that they were taking juvenile marine fish, crabs and lobsters, especially sea mussels, and they needed large quantities.

They can often find these things when they go out to sea, but because they are small, they can’t sell them when they are pulled back, especially sea clams. When these things are fished up, they will pry open the big ones to see if there are any pearls inside, and give the small ones directly. Throw it back into the sea.

But now everyone has another path. Although the price is very low, Yiwang can sell hundreds of coins, and everyone is willing to take a trip.

It's not that others have never been tempted to see the little bears renting the sea for farming. They don't have to think about raising pearls, but they can consider sea fish, lobsters, crabs, etc., but once the cost is calculated, everyone Depressed.

Let’s not talk about renting the sea, but buying those cubs is not something they can afford. What’s more, there are abundant resources in the sea now, as long as they go out to sea and net, there is no time to spare, and as long as there is no problem with the boat or a storm, Experienced fishermen can usually come back alive, so it is better to continue fishing than to go to the sea to fish.

Therefore, up to now, only Xiaoxiong and his group have rented the sea for farming, and therefore, they have no place to learn from experience or communicate, and they can only explore by themselves.

The second problem they had was what do the sea mussels eat, and they finally solved this problem. Now they encountered the third problem, how to make the sea mussels contain gravel.
