Chapter 70: The Grass Grows and the Oriole Flies to the February Sky
Mahanshan really deserves the most commissions and the highest rewards. In fact, it can be said that Wagang Village belongs to him. This is because Wagang Village was inherited from his father by his son.
If you look at this issue with the thinking of this era, there will be no problem at all, and no one will say anything. But he is a person who has traveled through "modern society", and his thinking is completely different from the thinking of this era.
So, he also set a salary for himself, and of course he also allocated shares to himself. He was embarrassed to ask for awards for inventions and creations, even though every product was derived from his "guidance" or "
Produced under "Design".
Generally speaking, just like in his previous life, he didn't care too much about how much he took. Anyway, as long as there was no shortage of money, he could just spend it. What he cared about was the process of developing Wagang Village.
Many people enjoy the process of falling in love but refuse to get married. Ma Hanshan enjoys the process of "starting a business". As for how much wealth he has, he really doesn't care that much. Anyway, he has the final say in everything in Wagang Village and puts it all in
What's the difference between putting it in your pocket or keeping it all in the village?
It’s the New Year. The first hydraulic punch press was successfully tested, the first set of molds were also successfully tested, and Ma Hanshan accepted another disciple, a mechanical genius... These are all things to be happy about.
When Ma Hanshan invited his disciples and the "high-ranking people" in the village to drink, it was really him who invited him. Although everything was prepared by Yan's mother. However, there was one dish that Ma Hanshan made under his guidance, which he once said he wanted.
Please enjoy the sliced duck cooked with grain.
In order to make this flaky duck, Ma Hanshan thought for a long time before "drawing" the picture of the roast duck stove, and asked Liu Guisan and others to spend half a day building the stove.
Use a sharp knife to slice off the crispy duck skin from the duck, then add a piece of single pancake, a piece of duck skin, a few shredded green onions, coriander stalks, add some sweet sauce, add enough ingredients, roll it up, and then...
It is absolutely delicious to eat like this.
In this era, although Dasong was wealthy, its development was very abnormal and all walks of life were very unbalanced. For example, in order to deal with the invasion from the north, the dynasty has updated many weapons over the past 100 years since its founding, making the metallurgy, shipbuilding, etc.
All have made great progress. In fact, because of the war, there were many inventions. Mahanshan collected them for a year and found that there were nearly a hundred inventions in this era, the most famous of which were the four great inventions.
It's a pity that because of the emphasis on literature over military power, these inventions neither exerted their due combat effectiveness in the military nor were applied in production. They were just drowned. Ma Hanshan was so angry that he cursed all the emperors of the past dynasties for a long time. What?
What a bullshit emperor, he was kidnapped by a bunch of rotten people. He could obviously increase productivity and strengthen the country, but he was occupied by a group of almost savage-like guys who took over half of the country.
Another strange thing is that others think that warriors can drink, but not in Dasong. It is literati who can drink. Drinking wine, enjoying the scenery, reciting poems and writing poems is what the so-called elites and so-called scholars in this country do.
Then, a nation of drunkards was born, and many poems were described as the most bold and unbridled descriptions of alcoholism.
However, this is a good thing for Ma Hanshan, otherwise Zuixianjiu would not have such a large sales volume and such a good price.
Originally, under such circumstances, eating should have developed very well. But the strange thing is that although there is a lot more food than before, the cooking technology has not improved a little bit. Perhaps everyone thinks that cooking is
It's a low-level job. Why is this gentleman working in the kitchen far away? It makes no sense.
Therefore, even people like Shen Wuwan, who travel all over the country and are not short of money, have actually never eaten anything that can be called delicious.
Not to mention the people present here, so they were conquered by the blind ducks.
Ma Hanshan was drunk. This was the first time he had been drunk since he came to this world.
The reason why he gets drunk is because he has gained so much this year, and his reward for himself is to get drunk.
…
The new year has passed, the first month has passed, and February is here in the blink of an eye.
A batch of fire and water lighters have been produced, and a batch of large and small fire and water lanterns have been produced. However, there are only dozens of hand-made prototypes of the angry wind lanterns. The reason why the wind lanterns cannot be mass-produced is because several parts are produced by casting. If it is really unqualified, we must wait for the mold to be ready and use the stamping method to produce it.
Unfortunately, it is really difficult to make a set of molds in Wagangzhai now. It is a completely manual work, and it is very delicate work. For this reason, Ma Hanshan has hired a group of silver and iron carving craftsmen at a high price.
Lathes, milling machines, grinders... no, grinding machines have been built a long time ago, but the trouble is that there has never been a usable grinding wheel. For this grinding wheel, Ma Hanshan had tried his best to make it, but he just couldn't make it, so he They also asked people to find natural "sharpening" stones to make grinding wheels, but they were useless after just a few sharpenings.
How to create a grinding wheel?
Ma Hanshan didn't know. He was neither a chemical engineer nor a metallurgist. He was barely qualified in mathematics, physics and chemistry. How could he come up with the formula for a grinding wheel? It requires several minerals and metals to be mixed together and sintered at high temperatures. .
However, fortunately, he remembered that the thing can be made of emery. He couldn't do anything about synthetic emery. Now he hopes to find natural diamond...
Alas, time travelers are really not omnipotent. Even if they are so awesome and know how to do everything, they still can't do anything without basic industry in the time and space they travel through.
This will make Ma Hanshan almost cry.
The Mechanical Research Institute and the Metallurgical Research Institute of Wagonzhai have a long way to go...
In fact, Mahanshan still needs to open many research institutes.
However, Ma Hanshan was lucky that the Money Gang and his "reconnaissance company" were very powerful and found many craftsmen from all walks of life in various places for him, and he found some craftsmen who could be called masters.
Wagonzhai has money and can put its skills to good use, so many craftsmen are hired. Of course, some bad-tempered people who "treat money like dirt" cannot be hired. It doesn't matter, you can't hire them with money. Just use force to ask for help. It's hard to get money to help with this kind of thing.
Wagonzhai now gathers a lot of talents, all kinds of talents.
Therefore, Ma Hanshan believes that the problem will be solved one day.
Now, what he wants to do is to go out for a walk and appreciate the magnificent mountains and rivers of Dasong.
The most important thing is that he is going to launch fire products, and the road leading to Snake Valley is being built. The oil in Snake Valley and the gold and silver mine in Wild Wolf Valley are also going to be developed. It’s okay to exploit Snake Valley oil. Others don’t understand that. What is it? But if you want to mine the gold mines in Wild Wolf Valley, you must find a strong backer.
Once Snake Valley is developed, the gold and silver mines in Wild Wolf Valley cannot be hidden for long. Therefore, he hopes to find a backer as soon as possible. The Gold and Silver Gang is far from enough. The most important thing is that the Gold and Silver Gang is not under his control.
…
"Mr. Qi, I heard that Yangzhou is very beautiful. There are many poems, songs and chants. Let's listen to two of them." One day at the end of February, Ma Hanshan suddenly asked Qi Nanyue.
"Haha, I don't know how to write poetry. I can also read the Thousand-Character Classic and the Three-Character Classic." Qi Nanyue said with a smile, "Look for Mr. Meng, he will definitely be able to compose poetry and lyrics."
"I didn't ask you to write poems. I asked you to recite a few poems and listen to them, and recite a few poems about the beautiful spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Oh, I do remember a few other people's poems. Among them, "Jiangnan Spring" written by Xiao Du Jinshi of the former dynasty happened to be about the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. The poem goes: Thousands of miles of orioles are singing, the green is reflected in red, the water village is in the mountains, the wine flag is winding. Four hundred years of the Southern Dynasties
In the Eighty Temple, there are so many towers in the mist and rain." Qi Nanyue chanted.
"Well, the orioles are singing in the thousands of miles, the green is reflecting the red, the wine flags are blowing in the mountains of Shuicun... It is really wet. Who is this Xiao Du?" Ma Hanshan is not only bad at mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also Chinese and history, so he is really
I don’t know who Xiao Du is.
"There were two great poets named Du in the previous dynasty, one was Du Fu, the poet sage, and the other was Du Mu. The younger Du Jinshi was Du Mu." Qi Nanyue said, stroking his chin.
"Tch, can't you just talk about Du Mu? You want to talk about Xiao Du Jinshi. I've heard of this guy, but I don't remember that he has this poem." Ma Hanshan had always been interested in these so-called great writers and poets.
I don’t catch a cold, so naturally I won’t speak as respectfully as those nerds.
"Haha..." Qi Nanyue, who considered himself a scholar, could only respond to Ma Hanshan with "hehe."
"Although this poem by Xiao Du is good, it is not good enough. Let me read one for you to listen to: The grass grows and the orioles fly in the February sky, and the willows brush the embankments and are drunk by the spring smoke. Children come back early from school, and they are busy flying kites in the east wind.
"Ma Hanshan slowly recited "Village Living" from his primary school textbook.
The reason he remembered this poem was, firstly, because his Chinese scores were good when he was in elementary school, and the poem was in the Chinese textbook. Secondly, he often went to the countryside to play when he was a child, and flying kites was one of the fun activities, so he remembered it.
"Good poem... Good poem... Village leader, I didn't expect that the village leader can compose poetry. Nanyue admires it..." Qi Nanyue clapped his hands and said, secretly shocked, why did Shaohan suddenly know how to compose poetry? I remember that I couldn't recite the Three-Character Sutra in the past.
Sentence.
"Tch, you taught me. You don't know if I can compose poetry. You don't know how to flatter me. It's really boring." Ma Hanshan fell on the recliner and looked at the bright sunshine and said, "Unfortunately, it's March soon.
, I can’t see the February sky in the south of the Yangtze River, the scene of the grass growing and the orioles flying is really beautiful.”
In fact, in this time and space, there are natural scenery everywhere. In February and March in the south of the Yangtze River, there are poetic scenery everywhere.
"The leader of the village is coming out?" After a moment of silence, Qi Nanyue finally understood what Ma Hanshan meant. This guy was not really in the mood to recite poems, but was anxious to come out.
"I'm going to leave the village on March 3rd. You can go with me." Ma Hanshan really couldn't wait. Anyway, there was nothing going on in the village, so he couldn't wait any longer.
He made this determination because the new county captain of Suishui County had arrived a few days ago, and Ge Guangpei had been dismissed. At the same time, good news also came from Fuyang County. The new county captain was recommended by Cai Qingtu, and Cai Qingtu had many
Tianqian went on a mission with the envoy and sang a great song.
With no hidden dangers on either side, Ma Hanshan left the village with peace of mind.
"Me? Okay, who else will the leader bring? What kind of goods will he bring?" Qi Nanyue said happily.
"I have written all the things I need to bring on this piece of paper. You go and prepare them. However, these things are not brought by us. Let Liu Heizai and A Niu lead a small team of people to take these things and go directly to Lin'an by water. "I, you, Shen Hua and others will go to Xiangfan first, and then go east along the river to Lin'an." Ma Hanshan handed Qin Nanyue a note and said.
The items to be brought are written on the note, as well as the members.
Qi Nanyue took a look and responded: "I'll make arrangements right away."
On March 3rd, Ma Hanshan left Wagang Village with Qin Nanyue and others to start his first long journey in this world...
