Li Shihan's heart trembled, and she quickly retorted: "Husband, I don't know where I stayed when I came to Zhoucheng. There are not many caravans coming to Zhoucheng from Fu County!"
The eldest young lady of the Li family hummed: "You haven't been so heartless in making excuses. I think he has already found a wife, and you are still here waiting for him stupidly!"
Li Shihan frowned: "No, my husband is not that kind of person, sister-in-law, please stop talking!"
"Shihan, my sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. Do you want her to give you her heart?"
The young lady of the Li family gritted her teeth and said: "If you marry the governor's son, you may not be able to earn the status of a royal wife in the future. What you can do for that mud-legged man is that the most you can do is become a landlord's mother-in-law!"
Li Shihan frowned: "I don't like Mrs. Gaoming. As long as your husband is willing to have me, I am also willing to be a landlord's mother-in-law!"
"You are willing, but have you ever thought about whether my father is willing and will he accept him as the Li family's son-in-law?"
The eldest young lady of the Li family hummed: "My father didn't want to recognize him before when he was still studying. Now that he is engaged in low-level business, my father will not recognize him even more. You can't sever ties with your father and your eldest brother because of a man."
!”
Li Shihan frowned.
Now the second brother's attitude has changed, but his father, eldest brother, and third brother still look down on his husband.
It was like a thorn in her heart!
The eldest young lady of the Li family hummed: "The governor will invite you to enjoy plum blossoms in three days. Don't refuse me anymore. Your eldest brother is working under the governor, and it will be very easy for others to manipulate your eldest brother later!"
Li Shihan frowned, feeling upset.
…
Fu County, Beiping Township, Dawangzhuang!
In the newly built manor house, military doctor Fu Qi was sitting on a stool while a group of villagers lined up.
Fu Qi took pulses and prescribed prescriptions one by one, while the newly recruited apprentices were picking up medicine next to him.
Wang Yuan watched from a distance.
Half a month after returning from Fuxian County, Fu Qi’s patients have not been ill.
The people of this era suffer from lack of food, lack of clothing, overwork, and all kinds of injuries!
Even if I stayed with him and my life was better in the past two months, I was still mostly sick.
It’s just that I didn’t have enough to eat before, and how could I have the money to see a doctor? I relied on my strength to support me.
Nowadays, when Fu Qi takes the pulse, most of them are ill upon diagnosis, and some are even terminally ill.
In order to make it easier to get the medicine, Wang Yuan sent people to the county town to buy the medicinal materials in trucks.
What he lacks most now is money!
The villagers who got the medicine thanked Wang Yuan profusely, with tears in their eyes.
This employer is so nice. They pay so much wages, provide clothes, soap, and also provide medical treatment. It’s like the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva!
Now that the villagers of Dawang Village have gone out, the people in the whole town are extremely envious!
The girls in Dawang Village are not willing to marry outside the village; the boys in Dawang Village do not need to pay bride price to other villages when they get a wife; both men and women want to squeeze in to Dawang Village.
Not to mention entering Dawang Village, as long as we have some connections with Dawang Village, life will be much easier.
Many villagers who built houses and fired bricks for Dawangzhuang gradually became prosperous!
Wang Yuan nodded with a smile and asked the villagers to go home, brew medicine, and wander around the manor.
The main body of the ten-acre manor is 80% complete. If it hadn't snowed the past few days, it would have been completely capped!
Now we just have to wait for the muddy road to get better and transport the remaining beams to cap them!
However, after the new house was built, he did not move in.
Part of it is used as a classroom, part of it is used as a martial arts training ground, and part of it is used for making soap, steel, and glass. The rest is used by the black-armored veterans with their families.
In the half month since he came back, he has not been idle and compiled a new set of teaching materials.
Divided into Chinese, mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry, the five major subjects are step-by-step and practical, and also take into account the cultivation of moral character, so as not to teach white sheep and wolves.
In this regard, the teacher Wang Bizhong complained quite a bit, but Wang Yuan pushed back with one sentence.
If you want to be taught, just teach me. If you don’t want to teach me, find someone else!
Three guans a month is equivalent to 36 guans a year. It is too easy to find a teacher.
Many scholars in the town came to recommend themselves!
But after thinking about it, after the New Year, Brother Haitian brought his students here, and he didn't want to invite anyone else.
I was thinking about future development when suddenly a cheerful voice sounded: "Cousin, come with me to Factory No. 5!"
Wang Yuan turned around and looked at cousin Qing He who was as pretty as a flower in a big cloak, and couldn't help but said speechlessly: "I've seen it several times, haven't you seen enough?"
"No, I can never see enough. Cousin, will you go with me again?"
After the finger injury was healed, Zhao Qinghe held Wang Yuan's arm and kept shaking it!
"Stop shaking, I'm afraid of you!"
Wang Yuan rolled his eyes at the girl and quickly pulled out his arm, his face slightly red.
This stinky girl doesn’t know she’s grown up now, yet she’s still hugging her!
Now that Shihan is not here, and he and Mengying are abiding by etiquette, he is getting stronger with practice and cannot stand the harassment.
"Hello, cousin!"
Zhao Qinghe didn't notice this, and hugged Wang Yuan's arm again, pressing against it reluctantly.
Since he was rescued by Wang Yuan last time, he no longer has any resentment against him.
The two of them are as affectionate as they were when they were kids!
The two came to Factory No. 5!
For the sake of safety and confidentiality, Wang Yuan divided his current production into five factories!
Factory No. 1 makes steel, makes Tang knives, and casts various precision instruments!
Factory No. 2 makes sugar!
Factory No. 3 makes soap!
Factory No. 4 produces purified glycerin, carbonic acid, alcohol, and various chemical substances!
Factory No. 5 is today’s burning glass!
These five major factories are uniformly guarded by guards, and no one except staff is allowed to enter.
Of course, as Zhao Qinghe, you can visit the five major factories at will!
But in order not to break the rules set by Wang Yuan, she took Wang Yuan with her every time she went.
"Brother Yuan!"
"Miss Cousin!"
Two members of the escort team greeted me at the door!
Wang Yuan smiled and nodded. The escort members opened the door and the two of them walked in.
"The master is here!"
Glass team captain Guo Zhengcai says hello.
More than a dozen workers all smiled and greeted each other with great enthusiasm.
Their type of work earns three guans per month, which is the highest in Dawang Village.
Many people are dissatisfied, but the young master said that their work is good in winter but suffers in summer.
They don't care, they just think that the young master is kind-hearted and treats them too well!
Wang Yuan chuckled and nodded: "You are busy with your business, I will bring Qing He to see if I have cooked anything new!"
Zhao Qinghe looked at the blast furnace curiously: Every time he saw crystals being burned in the blast furnace, the dazzling transparent color was like piles of gold!
"Sir, our glass blowing technology has improved again, and we can blow out beautiful bottles!"
Guo Zhengcai responded with a smile!
A group of men used iron wires to hold a graphite clay crucible from the blast furnace and pour out the molten quartz.
A man immediately connected it with a hollow steel pipe, puffed up his cheeks and blew it, melting the quartz very quickly.
There is a man nearby using pliers to quickly shape glass objects.
Not long after, a tall glass was made and appeared in front of everyone.
"crystal glass!"
“Absolutely beautiful!”
"This is a rare treasure!"
"A crystal cup like this could be sold for at least one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Zhao Qinghe's eyes were bright. He looked at the glass and then at Wang Yuan, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This is how rare and precious crystals are created.
“Not bad!”
Wang Yuan looked bored.
With today's technology, it would be extremely difficult to create transparent glass!
But there is no problem for him!
There is a graphite clay crucible, which can reach the high melting point of glass melting. Using high-purity quartz and sodium carbonate, transparent glass can be produced directly!
He also made steel pipes, taught these people how to blow glass, and wanted to make some handicrafts.
However, the time is too short, and these masters can only blow a glass with their current skills.
But he was not in a hurry.
In this era, as long as crystal artifacts are considered rare treasures.
Just get some glass beads, glass cups, and glass blocks to meet the market demand.
"Cousin, you are so powerful, how can you make crystals!"
Zhao Qinghe’s big eyes are filled with admiration.
At first, she felt that Wang Yuan was a bit of a loser when he went to He County to join the mining team!
Now when I look at the crystal cup, I immediately understand that its value is higher than that of the Tang Dao.
Guo Zhengcai, the glass blowing master, also looked at Wang Yuan and fell to the ground in admiration!
"Learn from books!"
Wang Yuan changed the subject: "Everyone, remember, don't talk nonsense when you go out. This project will be kept secret for the time being."
Zhao Qinghe nodded repeatedly!
The Zhou family was concerned about making sugar, let alone making crystal.
If some wealthy people knew about it, they would definitely try their best to take away the secret method of making crystals.
Guo Zhengcai and a group of masters also nodded. The three pieces of money they received were a confidentiality fee.
"Let's go!"
After staying in the room for a while, Wang Yuan was sweating on his forehead and pulled Zhao Qinghe out of Factory No. 5: "When the master's skills get better later, let them blow you some glazed hairpins, one of each color!
"
"real!"
Zhao Qinghe's big eyes were shining, and his head was pressed against Wang Yuan's shoulder: "Cousin, you are so good to me."
Wang Yuan shook his head!
A few glass hairpins, no one would carry them in later generations, making this little girl very rare!
Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Yuan's eyes lit up, he pushed Zhao Qinghe's head away and walked forward quickly!
A carriage stopped at the door, and Hu Mengying, dressed in a white fox cloak, was like a white lotus blooming between heaven and earth, delicate, soft and beautiful.
"Smelly cousin, I'm really fascinated by that vixen!"
Zhao Qinghe bit his silver teeth secretly: "This vixen is so shameless. He comes to Dawang Village every three days, as if he can't live without his cousin."
Arriving in front of the carriage, before Wang Yuan could speak, A Bao jumped out from behind Hu Mengying: "Brother-in-law, A Bao is here to see you. Do you miss A Bao?"
"think!"
Picking up the stupid A Bao and pinching his little nose, Wang Yuan turned around and said: "Qinghe, come and play with A Bao for a while. Miss Hu and I have something to discuss!"
Hu Mengying lowered her head and her pretty face flew into the red clouds.
"Um!"
Zhao Qinghe bit his silver teeth secretly and took Ah Bao.
Every time this vixen comes, my cousin asks him to take A Bao with him.
The two of them went to the newly built upstairs and stayed there for most of the day, not knowing what to do.
Although she loves her cousin-in-law Li Shihan, she is unfilial and has no children. Three years after their marriage, they had no children!
Her cousin now has a new love, and although she feels uncomfortable in her heart, she tries her best to make things easier for him.
Pulling Hu Mengying, Wang Yuan came to the third floor: "Come on, I will take you upstairs to see a novelty!"
"……what?"
Hu Mengying's voice was as loud as a mosquito's, and her pretty face was blushing: every time the two of them were upstairs, although they talked about some work, they spent most of the time hugging each other. Although they had not gone beyond the limit, the feeling of heat all over her body made her
