"Master, don't be angry. It's not that Lao Tan didn't come by himself. He and Mr. Wei are guarding the warehouse."
Guan Xiaorou explained.
"What kind of warehouse are they guarding? Are there not enough bodyguards in the village?" Jin Feng asked in confusion.
Wei Wuya was a well-known doctor in Guangyuan County. His medical skills were not impressive, but his combat effectiveness was negligible.
Although Lao Tan is from the village, he is old, and he broke his leg when he went to collect herbs in the mountains before. Although he did not have the same root disease as Mancang because he knew how to set bones and condition, he has never been able to do heavy work.
There are so many young and strong bodyguards in the village, no matter what, it is not their turn to guard the warehouse.
"It's not the seeds brought back by the expedition team."
Guan Xiaorou said helplessly: "When I brought the seeds back, they had missed the sowing period, so I asked people to put the seeds into the warehouse, but they were worried that someone would steal them, and they were also afraid that the escort would not take care of them and let the seeds grow.
insect."
"They are both experts. It's winter now, so the seeds won't get insects." Jin Feng couldn't laugh or cry.
"I said the same, but they didn't listen." Guan Xiaorou said: "Mr. Wei said that Brother Wang and the others worked hard to bring these seeds back. There can be no mistakes, otherwise I will be sorry for Brother Wang and the others, and also sorry for the people all over the world.
, I have to live in the warehouse and guard it before I can rest assured."
"Husband, Xiaorou originally disagreed with letting Mr. Wei and Lao Tan guard the warehouse, but I agreed."
Ninth Princess suddenly interjected: "This batch of seeds is of great importance, I think there is nothing wrong with being careful."
Hearing what she said, Jin Feng sighed and stopped asking.
Because he understood why the Ninth Princess did what she did.
What Wei Wuya and Lao Tan are really worried about is not that the seeds will be stolen or that insects will infest them, but that they are worried about Wei Laosan's meticulous work.
Nowadays, Xihewan is surrounded by enemies all over the world, and no one can guarantee that there will be no more evildoers in the village.
Wei Laosan, whom Jin Feng trusted so much, could turn traitor, and no one could guarantee that others were completely reliable.
In recent years, Dakang's climate has changed dramatically, and 80% of the time it was the Little Ice Age.
If Jin Feng's speculation is correct, then in the next few years, climate fluctuations will become more and more severe, which will directly affect crop production and harvests.
Dakang's agriculture is already backward and has experienced wars. If the grain harvest is greatly reduced, the consequences will be disastrous.
Jin Feng would rather start a war with the Tubo and Eastern Barbarians and all the vassal kings in the world at the same time than see this day.
Although Dakang's agriculture is backward, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the per capita cultivated area is much larger than that in Jin Feng's previous life.
If there are enough good varieties, it is still possible for the food grown to survive difficult times.
Therefore, the significance of this batch of seeds is extraordinary. If they are really harmed, Jin Feng will need to send people to Jiaozhi and Tianzhu to search again.
The expedition team went there last year, and the gold and silver they carried were lost on the road, so most of the seeds were almost snatched by force, which offended many local forces.81Zw.????m
If you go to search for seeds again, you will definitely be targeted and it will not go so smoothly again.
If we delay for one more day, countless people may starve to death.
This is what Jin Feng and Ninth Princess don't want to see.
"Then let them," Jin Feng said, "arrange for people to plaster the thatched house tightly with mud, and replace the door so that there is no air leakage.
Send me a stove and a few bags of coal. By the way, remember to remind the person who installed the stove to install the chimney properly so that no smoke leaks."
"Okay." Guan Xiaorou nodded and agreed, "I'll do it now."
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and returned to the village.
Tie Shui hurriedly waved to the back, and a group of bodyguards immediately followed.
Jin Feng and the others continued to rush to the glass workshop.
The earliest glass workshop was a shed built next to the cement factory.
This shed is enough for firing some glass beads, but it is certainly not suitable for mass production of glass.
Nowadays, glass no longer needs to be kept secret, so the old village chief built a workshop next to the cement factory specifically for the production of glass.
When Jin Feng and others arrived, they saw Lao Tian, the person in charge of the glass factory, squatting on the ground, worrying about a pile of broken glass.
Seeing Jin Feng come in, Lao Tian seemed to have found a savior, with an old face crying and laughing: "Sir, you are finally back. If you don't come back, you may never see me again."
"Is it so serious?" Jin Feng was amused by Lao Tian.
"Sir, you don't know, the old village chief and Guan Sanye said that if I don't get the plate glass you mentioned by the end of the month, they will come and hack me to death!"
Lao Tian cried and cried: "It's only a few days until the end of the month. How can I get it out?"
"Don't you know how to blow glass?" Jin Feng asked.
In fact, the better way to make flat glass is float glass, but float glass has too high process requirements, and Jin Feng is currently unable to achieve it.
But there is another way to make flat glass.
That is to use an iron rod to blow the molten glass into the shape of a rod, then cut it out as quickly as possible with special scissors, and then flatten it into a piece of flat glass.
Jin Feng had taught Lao Tian this method a long time ago, and he used this method to make a mirror last year.
"Sir, I can only blow small pieces of glass, but not large pieces. Before I could flatten it, the glass cooled down and then broke." Lao Tian explained helplessly: "I tried a lot.
Each time without success.”
"If you can't make it in large pieces, why not just make it in small pieces?" Jin Feng asked in confusion: "It can be made as big as a full-length mirror as before, and then it can be put together with several pieces."
"That's what I said originally, but the third master and the old village chief disagreed. The two old men said that since Mr. left such a big window, he should make such a big glass. It would not look good if he used small pieces!"
Lao Tian said with a grimace: "I have no choice but to try to do it myself first. If it doesn't work, I will ask him for advice after he comes back."
The old village chief and Guan Sanye have witnessed many miracles happening to Jin Feng. In their opinion, Jin Feng has taught Lao Tian how to make glass, and Lao Tian can only make small things, not big ones, for no reason.
of.
If you can't do it, it's because Lao Tian doesn't have the ability.
"There's no point in looking for me, I can't do it for the time being."
Jin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "You should follow the previous method first, and I will communicate with the two village chiefs."
"Thank you sir, thank you sir!" Lao Tian was very happy when he heard this.
The stone that had been weighing on my heart for more than a month finally fell to the ground at this moment.
"If you encounter something like this in the future, come to me directly, otherwise it won't delay so many things!"
"Yes!" Lao Tian nodded in agreement, but secretly cursed in his heart: "Then I have to find you."
In fact, Lao Tian had already told the two village chiefs about this matter, but they all thought that Lao Tian was making excuses.
Jin Feng was not in the village at that time, and Lao Tian couldn't find him, so he had to carry it on.
But in front of Jin Feng, you definitely can't say that, otherwise wouldn't you be suing the two village chiefs for blackmail?
