Chapter 111 Notification
The recent schedule in the yamen is a bit chaotic, because most of their actions are arranged at night, or for several days in a row, so at this moment, not only the old man who guards the door, but even the sweepers are drowsy and unable to wake up. Spirit.

When Jiang Changan and his group arrived at the yamen, the old man who guarded the gate was leaning against the door frame and dozing there.

At this moment, before Mr. Song could make a move, Escort Wang trotted forward to clear the way for them, "Brother, if we have something to do, please inform the county lord."

After Wang Biaotou finished speaking, he skillfully took out ten small copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them in. Jiang Changan immediately envied him.

Therefore, she must study hard, and when she becomes an official in the future, she will live up to the amnesty granted to women by this dynasty, and live up to the white money.

As soon as the old man guarding the door felt the familiar touch, he immediately regained his energy. To meet the God of Wealth early in the morning, it seems that today's luck should not be bad. The old man took a closer look.

"Hey, Boss Wang, what brought you here?" If he remembered correctly, there was some unpleasantness between this old boy and the adults, right?What about coming here to seek abuse?
Huwei Escort has been standing in Laichang County for many years, it has some status in the Jianghu and is quite rich, otherwise Escort Wang would not be so generous in his daily actions, but it is still not enough in front of their government.

So this piece of fat is naturally taken by their adults. The market is so big, and there are only a few things that can make money, and the escort agency is the business that costs the least and is the easiest to operate.

It's also recently that their adults have been a bit aggressive, and they can't spare manpower, otherwise, Tiger's Might Escort would have ceased to exist long ago.

It can only be said that Huwei Escort is not exhausted, so there is really no need for Escort Wang to rush to find a sense of existence. Are you afraid that the adults will not miss him enough?
"Boss Wang, my lord is not in a good mood recently, why don't you come back another day?" After receiving so much money, the old gatekeeper reminded him in a low voice, almost unable to bear it.

"Brother, you are wrong. It is Mr. Song and the others who are looking for the county lord. You need to discuss with the adults about the farm tools."

"Which Mr. Song?" The old man looked at Mr. Song and his group suspiciously. They were a group of people he didn't know, and they probably weren't well-known.

The old gatekeeper knew all the famous masters in and around the county, but he had never heard of the master named Song.

However, if a master doesn't teach his students to read well, what kind of farm tools will he bring a few children to the Yamen?The two examiners who came up from Beijing had left long ago, and it would be too late to behave at this time.

Does their county magistrate seem to lack talents? He must be from the countryside, right?A group of people are all shabby and ignorant.

Biaotou Wang has been traveling darts all year round, and he immediately noticed the contempt in the old man's eyes, and sneered in his heart, it's just a dog guarding the gate, he doesn't even pay attention to the learned gentleman, he is really big-hearted.

County Magistrate Chen's dog had the same eyes as its owner, but Mr. Song also didn't pay attention to County Magistrate Chen, let alone an old man guarding the yamen.

"Master Song from the Shanshang Private School in Shanshang Village brought his students to visit the county lord, please let me know."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mr. Song's name was reported, the old gatekeeper's eyes immediately became serious, and his attitude immediately became solemn, "Song, Mr. Song, Mrs. Song of Shanshang Village, please wait a moment, the villain will go in and report. "

The old man at the gate wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and ran towards the yamen with numb legs, why didn't he say it earlier? !
This group of people came from the village on the mountain, and they were from the private school on the mountain. They couldn't even deal with the county magistrate. He, an old man guarding the gate, slipped away first.

Although he didn't know how cruel the people in the private school in Shanshang Village were, his best friend was among the people who went to Shanshang Village to perform tasks that day, and he had told him to stay away from the people in Shanshang Village.

It seems that the private school on the mountain is really tricky, not to mention taking the first place in the assessment all of a sudden, there are many people who carry out secret missions and go to the village on the mountain, and then there is the magic method of boiling salt with soil, those little children become martial arts Master, is it actually a monster?

In short, it is very weird. He is an ordinary person, so it is better not to provoke him.

It was very quiet in the Yamen Office. County magistrate Chen lay on the chaise longue with his eyes closed, and no one dared to disturb him, even the passing staff were cautious.

However, after the notification from the old gatekeeper, the guards close to the county magistrate Chen had no choice but to enter the room to report, "My lord, Mr. Song from the private school on the mountain is here."

As soon as the words were finished, County Magistrate Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and a ferocious sternness flashed across his eyes, which made the guard who reported the report tremble.

"Master Song, what is he doing here?" I can't find jade anywhere, so Master Song took it?However, his people did not find any clues in the private school on the mountain.

The investigation showed that Li Shushen and Master Song were not in the same group, and Master Song had just accepted Li Shushen as a disciple because of his background.

Master Song and Jiang Chang'an are even closer and take care of him. They have been secretly protecting that little idiot all these years, perhaps because of the little idiot's mother, and the origin of that woman is quite mysterious.

Otherwise, Zhang San couldn't be driven into a frenzy, saying that he saw a ghost, huh, where in this world did ghosts come from, it was all done by Jiang's family, or Jiang Chang'an and Master Song.

County magistrate Chen only inquired about these things after the setback in Shanshang Village.

The most frightening thing is that Li Shushen knows all about his collaborating letters and the roots he has left for himself (outsiders and sons), even if those letters are fake, how can someone with such strong and mysterious power The magistrate Chen has never encountered such a force.

He can only tentatively believe that the relationship between them is not hostile, and Li Shushen will not come to trouble him, so it is very likely that Li Shushen does not know about the jade, and it is impossible for him to take it away.

That kid is very proud, and he never takes him as the county magistrate seriously. He should disdain to deceive people.

If he really stole the emerald, this kid might use it to humiliate him, and he would never hide it.

For the matter of Jade, County Magistrate Chen set off a turmoil in Laichang County, muddying up the backwaters, to see if anyone would show his feet, and clean up his difficult opponents by the way. Of course, this was also the meaning of his superiors, so he Work without stress.

Now, what are the teachers and students here for?Recently, the spies said that the most lively thing in Shanshang Village is the infighting of the Jiang family, what kind of giant wheel carts and burning green pottery are they still doing?
County magistrate Chen looked puzzled, sat up, picked up the teacup beside him and slowly tasted the deep and strong tea inside.

The guard kept his body low, not daring to say a word, waiting patiently for the order.

"Is Li Shushen here?" County Magistrate Chen asked suddenly. Until now, he still remembered the painful touch of the boy pressing a sharp weapon against his neck.

this?The guard's body trembled, his head lowered, and he replied cautiously, "The old man only said that Mr. Song was with Wang Biaotou, and did not mention other people."

"Go and find out before you come back." Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Chen didn't blame his subordinates this time, because he was all focused on the outside world, as if he was facing an enemy.

The guard trotted out in a hurry, asked the old doorman again at the gate of the courtyard, and then fell back.

"My lord, there are three children and a driver driving the coach with Mr. Song." I don't know if there is Li Shushen's old master.

"Then I will invite people to the hall." County magistrate Chen got up, stroked his sleeves, and went to wait in the hall with his hands behind his back. He wanted to see what these people wanted to do?
Afterwards, Jiang Changan and his party were brought into the hall of the yamen. Jiang Changan secretly looked around the yamen. It is said that the place is quite magnificent.

But in her eyes, the building is not bright enough, it looks gloomy, and even the structure has some problems. If it is not repaired every year, I believe it will become a dilapidated building in a year or two, which may collapse at any time.

The furniture is also average, neat but not very strong, the carvings are shallow, and the paint is also poor. It is indeed not as good as the dowry of the county magistrate's daughter that I saw earlier.

Hey, she seems to have found another way to do business, selling high-end furniture, and making a piece that can be eaten for a year. Others may take a long time to make it, but Jiang Changan doesn't use it.

At this time, people from both parties met, "Your Majesty of the County." Whether it was Master Song or Li Shushen, they all bowed respectfully to County Magistrate Chen, as if the thing that threatened him that day no longer existed.

"Hehe, you're welcome, just sit down as you please. I don't know how many of you are here today. What's the matter?"

County magistrate Chen also pretended to be very casual and polite on the surface. If Li Shushen didn't come, who would rarely meet a little master?snort!
However, Chief Wang seems to have never seen the kindness of County Magistrate Chen. This lord has been immersed in Laichang County for more than ten years. Who else can make him pay attention?Now, Master Song can?
Sure enough, it's been a long time. It seems that it's time to have a good relationship with Mr. Song.

"It's such an adult. Our teachers and students have newly developed a set of threshing machines. As the name suggests, it is a farm tool for threshing rice. It can save [-]% to [-]% of the effort of threshing, greatly improving the efficiency of rice harvesting, and shortening the harvest by [-]%. time.

So we plan to build some more and promote them to farmers to increase their harvest, and the tax will also increase when the harvest is good.

Some parts of the threshing machine are made of iron, so I want to buy some pieces of iron from the adults.

This is the drawing, adults can look at it. Master Song took out the blueprint again, asked Shen Shikang to take it, and sent it to County Magistrate Chen. Of course, this blueprint is a simplified version.

The painting style Master Song also asked Jiang Changan to make some changes to reduce the visual impact brought by the [-]D drawings.

"Oh?" So they came to buy iron?Heh, what kind of farm tools are these people blatantly going to the Yamen to buy iron?County magistrate Chen was very curious.

Of course he won't sell [-]% of them, nonsense!Sell ​​iron and let these guys make weapons to beat themselves?

However, County Magistrate Chen was surprised when he saw the blueprint of the threshing machine vendor. The thing in the picture looks decent, no wonder he dared to boast about it.

"This? How to use it?" Master Song has written to the capital yet?If something is really good, wouldn't that be a great credit?Maybe he can also report to Fucheng.

At that time, Fucheng and Master Song will fight to earn and rob, will he be able to make a profit?

The first thing Chen County Magistrate thought of was how to deal with Mr. Song and others, not the effect of the threshing machine on the farmers. He didn't care about the summer harvest at all.

If you want a large amount of iron, of course the magistrate Chen can't just look at it. Master Song waved his hand and said, "Chang'an Shushen, you install one for the magistrate to support."

"Yes, sir." Jiang Changan picked up Shendi's big bag, came to the middle of the hall, and poured out all the parts in the bag.

Then she started to assemble it, she didn't need to look at the blueprints, she just placed the parts and assembled them, the speed was quite fast.

Li Shushen didn't need to help at all, but occasionally handed over some parts.

"Master Song's carpentry skills are really good." He should be blamed for being able to help Escort Wang in the street, otherwise, there would be no Huwei Escort now, but his Escort is leading the way and making a lot of money.

County Magistrate Chen glanced contemptuously at Escort Wang, but he saved the mouse from a catastrophe.

"Hehe, it's so-so. He learned from his grandfather since he was a child, and later we developed it together. Practice makes perfect." Master Song said paradoxically.

The threshing machine was quickly assembled by Jiang Changan. The whole machine was made of mortise and tenon joints, and it was stable without a single screw. It was stable and beautiful.

"This is the threshing machine?" County magistrate Chen stepped forward curiously, and Jiang Changan had to explain it to them again.

County Magistrate Chen's eyes became darker the more he listened, "I don't know how Mr. Song intends to operate it? That is to promote it widely and benefit the people. It's just made by your village on the mountain, isn't it wide enough?"

"No, no, we will leave the blueprints to the yamen, and Shanshang Village will only make a small amount. They will sell for eight taels of silver, and they will be rented out cheaply nearby. Those who want to use them can exchange them with food and other items.

If the adults love the people so much, they must also make it now, and give it to the people cheaply, so as to raise taxes, right? "

You are framed by airs, if you do too much, he can file a complaint at any time, Mr. Song smiled gently.

County magistrate Chen laughed in his heart. Mr. Song was indeed right. He promoted it in the name of the government, rented it out to mud-legged people, and raised taxes. He also made meritorious service.

But, who said that he couldn't sell it to wealthy businessmen at a high price in private?Only a business that eats at both ends is a good business.

"Master Song's proposal is good, and I think so too. There are not many pieces of iron that can be approved for Shanshang Village." If you don't have a good furnace, you won't need it if you have more?
County magistrate Chen smiled contemptuously in his heart. He had no idea that Jiang Blacksmith's furnace had been upgraded several grades. They could not only smelt lump iron, but also smelt refined iron.

"It's okay, just give us a thousand catties of iron, and leave the rest to your lord to do the hard work." Master Song stroked his beard, quite easy to talk to.

County magistrate Chen's face darkened, the old man really dared to think, even if he had a thousand catties of iron, he couldn't give it to the county government, and it wasn't because he wanted to rebel.

"Master Song was joking. How could the county government store so much iron, at most three hundred catties. If there is too much, please hire someone else."

I don’t give any, hum!Does he not use it himself?

Master Song looked embarrassed, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.

They counted it on the way here, and three hundred catties was enough, because Jiang Changan would add some other ore to it, and it took seven or eight catties of iron for other people to produce parts for a threshing machine.

And Jiang Changan only needs three catties, so they can make a hundred threshing machines.

Of course, some of the piece of iron should be left out, and other furniture will be made in the future?

"Forget it, just count according to what the adults said."
