"You have another reward that I haven't taken away, remember?" Just as the old man was about to step out, Jiang Xingchen suddenly said this.
The old man settled down immediately. A few days ago, when Jiang Xingchen was going to send abacus to the finance department, he took the initiative to ask for explanation in order to show off. Jiang Xingchen once said that if he taught those people, he would give himself a reward. Moreover, this reward was related to practicing Tai Chi.
But during this period, he devoted all his thoughts to learning the abacus, and he forgot all this over time. Now, when Jiang Xingchen mentioned it, he remembered it again.
Tai Chi, this is a big joke in his heart. Seeing Tang Chuxue's current powerful combat power, he was so envious that his eyes were blue! Now that Jiang Xingchen mentioned that reward, how could the old man not be moved?
"Boy, I remembered what you said!" The old man turned around, the smile on his old face bloomed like a flower, and he came to Jiang Xingchen in two steps: "If you don't say it, you're still worth it. I'm still thinking about the rewards I'm going to give me!"
Jiang Xingchen chuckled and stretched out his hand: "Tea!"
The old man thrust the muscles on his face and said weakly: "I really... don't!"
Jiang Xingchen shrugged, not angry, and said in the so-called "The reward is gone!"≮↑
"Boy, you can't do this! We agreed at the beginning that I will teach the financial personnel to use abacus, and give me rewards about Tai Chi... You are a great duke, so you can't believe me, an old man!" The old man grabbed Jiang Xingchen's arm and shouted.
"I didn't believe it!" Jiang Xingchen broke away from the old man's hand and asked back: "Have you really taught those people?"
"I've taught..." The old man was about to nod, but his expression suddenly changed. Then he realized that it was not the only way for him to come over. He just pulled out someone and insisted that he hadn't learned it. He could not prove it at all.
"Insidious, shameful, despicable..." A series of derogatory words appeared in the old man's mind, all of which were thrown on Jiang Xingchen. If I had known this, I would have gone to get a reward when I came back. By the way, after I came back from the city hall, what did I do? It seemed like I would think about how to steal tea...
"Old man, one chance next time! I will give me the tea!" Jiang Xingchen said with a sinister smile.
The old man hesitated for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "Little Hundan, you are cruel! Give me the reward first, I'll get you tea!"
"Old guy, do you think it's possible? No one of us knows who! Hurry up, I have limited patience!"
The old man's tricks didn't work after seeing them, so he had to go to get the tea in depression.
After a while, the old man came back with the tea leaves and put them on the table: "I've returned it to you. Hurry up and give me the reward!"
Jiang Xingchen reached out to grab the tea leaves, opened it and smelled it. After confirming that it was wrong, he took a piece of white paper from the table. He drew two strokes and pushed it to the old man.
"What is this?" The old man grabbed the white paper and looked at it, and was stunned. The thing on it was very simple. He drew a square and a circle.
"Boy, this is the reward you gave me. You are playing tricks on me, right? This has nothing to do with Tai Chi!" The old man was so angry that his face deformed. He slapped the table and shouted.
Jiang Xingchen smiled faintly and asked, "What are the major obstacles for you to practice Tai Chi until now?"
The old man instantly returned to calm and said in a deep voice: "Always unconsciously mobilize your vitality!"
Jiang Xingchen said: "It's okay when you deliberately control it, but as long as you concentrate and enter the Tai Chi posture, your vitality will unconsciously run. That's what you said last time, right?"
"That's right!" the old man nodded.
"That's it. You just need to be distracted!" Jiang Xingchen lit the white paper on the table.
"What does it mean to be distracted?" The old man frowned and looked at the white paper, but still didn't understand: "Since you need to concentrate, how can you be distracted? What does this have to do with the squares and circles drawn on the white paper!"
Jiang Xingchen said: "You can try to practice drawing squares with your left hand and circles with your right hand! When your spirit is concentrated on one of the patterns, the other pattern can be drawn in full, and this is successful! At that time, you can concentrate on practicing Tai Chi and control your own vitality!"
The old man was stunned and asked, "That's so simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple in theory, but in fact, it's very difficult to do!"
"But, why do I feel a little unreliable? I always feel like you are fooling me!" The old man stared at Jiang Xingchen, trying to see something from his surface.
Jiang Xingchen looked calm and said lightly: "Everyone said it, this is just a theory! Just like what I told Miss Tang, as for whether it can be practiced, I can't guarantee it!"
"Okay! I'll try it as you do! Don't look for me during this period, I'm in seclusion!" The old man said, and took the white paper and walked out of the room.
Jiang Xingchen looked at the old man's back and rubbed his chin, and whispered: "Distracted, can the old man succeed in the things in martial arts novels... Can't..."
After more than ten days, the old man really didn't come out, which made Zhao Danqing and his second brother complain, and they couldn't even play cards, and no one else played with them.
Jiang Xingchen is quite quiet and is busy with his own work every day, and the design progress of machine tools and molds is flying.
By the end of April, the abacus in the institute has been popularized, not only playing an important role in the calculation of experimental data, but also entering the classroom and the children are learning.
On the other side of Minggang City, twenty steel rolling machinery have been built, and light rails have begun to be produced. The teams surveying the terrain in major forces have basically completed and the construction route has been determined. Very steel rails will be continuously transported, and the construction of light rails will be started soon.
The first money from major forces also entered the account of Xingchen, Jufu Money House, with a total of 2.6 billion yellow crystal coins. It made the owner of Jufu Money House so beautiful that it could not find the north.
According to the agreement with Xingchen Leader, they immediately arranged for people to contact various countries and prepared to open a money bank branch.
On the ice field, the first batch of rotating soldiers had returned, and the tens of millions of combustible ice dug out were transported back. Jiang Xingchen was preparing to send tofu to lead the beetles for the second time and dig out another batch. At the same time, while summer was approaching, a base was built there, otherwise the people stationed there would be too much effort.
Hongyuan City has also made progress. The living area has been completed. The manganese refining factory has been halfway through progress. The steel plant has a heavy task and it will take some time to complete.
The city is too large and there are many kinds of buildings, so it can’t get up in a short time. Underground projects are still being built on the university.
The progress outside was very smooth, but the progress of the institute was not satisfactory. The team led by Xianning was stuck in the brake system in the research on the head of the steam locomotive and had never stepped through it. The research on glass was almost shelved. In terms of education, because there was no time to study, physics and chemistry were still blank.
Jiang Xingchen himself was also a little anxious. The construction in Hongyuan City was very good. Once the steel plant was completed, heavy rails could be produced immediately. As long as the terrain was surveyed, the railway should be very paved. If the steam locomotive has not been researched by then, wouldn’t the rails become decorations?
He could use the old man’s bet as a joke, but he had bragged about his cow with the Emperor, and many people at the top of the Empire must have known it. At that time, I was afraid that it would make people laugh! The Emperor was able to spare no effort to support himself, which also had a direct relationship with the railway. After all, the entire empire will benefit from the future.
The key is that in the future, the territorial development will require more and more materials, and now the method of carriage transportation can no longer keep up. Without railway transportation, I don’t know how long it will take to delay!
Although he was anxious, he comforted Xian Ning and their team members not to be anxious. He was afraid that Xian Ning would be in a bad mood, and the anxiety would cause old injuries.
In early May, he received a bad news. Shi Wazi came over and told him that the grapes had no fruit. This surprised him. The seeds had obviously been moistened by vitality, so why can't they do it?
"Is it because I planted it wrong?" He really didn't have much memory about grapes, it seemed that he would eat them all.
"Forget it! If you don't plant it, you won't plant it. Grapes are perennial, maybe cuttings can do it! Let the ribs go back and get some branches from Tubo Valley and plant them again!"
Originally, Jiang Xingchen didn't take it to heart. Didn't he just eat grapes one year later? It's nothing! But then Grandpa Fu came to tell him that the Star Monthly magazine last month had already launched the summer wine and food advertisements according to his instructions.
Jiang Xingchen was so depressed after hearing this. He let go of the big talk, but if there is no alcohol at that time, will he lose his credit? The key point is that this is still published by Xingchen Monthly, so you can't be confused!
I sent another message saying that I sent the wrong last time, only food and no wine, and then the starry necklace became a laughing stock. Now, due to the release of paper, small newspapers have appeared everywhere, and the competitiveness is already great. If I come out like this again...
"No, I have to think of a solution! Fortunately, I only mentioned the fine wine, but didn't say the wine... Is fruit wine OK?" Jiang Xingchen shook his head immediately. The fruit trees were not planted on a large scale, and there were not many ripe wild fruits in summer, so it was too small to make fruit shaved ice.
"What should I do! Otherwise, I will go to Tubo Valley, buy a large amount of grapes, make wine there, and then transport it back... It's not possible. The ribs are easy to fly over, but it will be troublesome to transport wine back. This trip took more than two months, and it's already early May, so I won't be able to hurry up!"
Just as Jiang Xingchen was thinking about a solution, the letter from the Curse Land was sent. This time it was good news. The shipyard finally studied and built a seven-story treasure ship. To be continued...
