Chapter 32

Ma Di's concierge had already resigned, and the former concierge rushed back before the Spring Festival, saying that he had brought his parents and his wife to live in Gong'an County.

"Thanks to Liu Jingzhou's protection, the cheapest gave birth to a fat boy."

The original concierge had a dark face, but when he said this, his face was full of joy.

Although it sounds strange to Ma Di, it is very good to get a red egg that tastes good.

He ate the red egg in small bites, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Mr. Kong Ming smiling at him.

Ma Su blushed, eating while walking was really out of style.

Kong Ming smiled and waved over to assign Ma Di a new job.

"Chopping firewood?" Ma Su was puzzled and aggrieved.

"It's not just chopping firewood." Kong Ming patiently explained: "I will accompany you with ten strong men, and cut down [-] catties of grass and trees around Gong'an County, and transport them to the county government for my great use."

What is the use of this?During the Spring Festival, the county government wants stewed pork to entertain the elders in the village?
Ma Su, who was full of doubts, took the order and left.

Behind the Gong'an county government, Sun Qian summoned the craftsmen again.

Because Kong Ming has officially moved his office to the side hall now, the other public houses are temporarily unusable. Liu Bei waved his hand: Now that we know the formula, we can also make paper!

After Kong Ming calculated the cost and selling price of Zuo Bozhi in detail for Liu Bei, no one was not moved.

A roll of Zuobo parchment is almost equivalent to a piece of silk, worth one thousand two hundred yuan.

But the cost is just the addition of mulberry skin in the process of making hemp paper, which sells for [-] yuan.

The price has skyrocketed by more than ten times, which is really...

"My old Zhang wants to be a butcher with this method!" This is Zhang Fei's exclamation.

Thinking of General Zhang's words, Sun Gan couldn't help smiling:
After traveling with the lord for ten years, Sun Qian felt as if he was in a dream with the foundation of Jingzhou, but now it is the blessing of the light curtain, which makes Sun Qian firm in the idea that he has long believed:

The protagonist is really a hero of the Han Dynasty!
"What is this doing?"

Sun Qian turned around and looked around, saluted and said, "Mr. Liu just came back?"

"My lord has newly acquired Jingzhou this year, so I have to catch up with the Spring Festival celebration." Liu Yan said with a smile, "Gongyou, we have known each other for ten years, so how many times have you told me to call me Weishuo?"

Seeing the craftsman leveling the ground in the backyard, and placing hammers beside the low houses, which were about to be dismantled and rebuilt, Liu Yan was very curious:

"The lord wants to rebuild this place as a government office?"

"No." Sun Qian shook his head and said, "My lord sees that there is a lot of open space here, so I plan to make paper here."

"Papermaking?" Liu Yan raised his head and thought, "What is it used for?"

"Sell for money."

Don't think about it if you don't understand it, Liu Yan changed his mind and asked: "Where is the master? I brought back a few jars of good wine from the Zhang family in Jiangdong. The master will definitely like it!"

"My lord has gone to look for the genius doctor Zhang Zhongjing." Sun Qian said honestly.

"Zhang Zhongjing?" Liu Yan was stunned: "A genius doctor?"

"Genius doctor!" Sun Qian nodded, very sure.

Liu Yan rubbed the back of his head, I have only been away from Gong'an County for three months, why does it seem like three years have passed?
At night at Zhuge's house, after dinner, the servants took Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Guo to play as usual, and Kong Ming and Huang Yueying talked about themselves around the stove.

"The lord has talked with me. In a few days, the county will set up a crafts department, which will still be in charge of me. I want to enlist you as a craftsman."

Kong Ming smiled and said, "Don't you feel sorry for that Zuo Bo paper is too expensive, our first step is to make this Zuo Bo paper."

"Where did my lord buy the secret recipe?" Huang Yueying asked curiously.

"This matter is a long story." Kong Ming thought for a while and took the bamboo tube that he never left, extracted the last few volumes of the light curtain copied inside, and explained the ins and outs to Huang Yueying in detail one by one.

Before the lord left yesterday, he had a private discussion with Kong Ming. In view of the emphasis on technology and craftsmen in later generations, a crafts department was first established in Gong'an County. The first thing to do was to restore the printing technique mentioned by Zuo Bozhi and the light curtain.

The Ministry of Medicine and Industry is also in the process of preparation, and Zhang Zhongjing is the only one who can say that everything is ready. Liu Bei's heart is clouded by the successive deaths of important officials of the Shu Han mentioned by the light curtain.

Huang Yueying's eyes brightened when she heard the miraculous things, but she wept secretly when she heard Kong Ming's statement that he might eventually die on the march due to overwork.

"My husband is like this, how can I live alone?"

Kong Ming sighed and hugged Yueying into his arms: "We will definitely not do this."

In this way, she said Wen Yan to comfort Huang Yueying for a while and temporarily revealed the matter, and soon understood:

"The Quli and Yuanche from last month are also..."

"Yes."

"So that's how it is!" Huang Yueying suddenly realized, with a smile on her face again:
"But husband, it's better not to set up the Ministry of Craftsmanship in the county government. I'll show you something."

Speaking of which, Huang Yueying got up and dragged Kong Ming all the way through the hall to a small room in the backyard.

Lightly lighting the copper lamp, Kong Ming saw the scene in front of him: on the table was a round car the size of a palm, which was placed in a groove cut out of a log, and the round car was connected to the same small stone mortar and other things through cranks.

Before Kong Ming could figure it out, Huang Yueying lifted the half bucket of water beside her and carefully poured the water into the log groove.

The water drives the round cart to turn round and round, the round cart drives the wooden handle, and the wooden handle drives the stone mill and mortar.

An all-rounder like Kong Ming is no stranger to the art of craftsmanship, and after watching it twice, he understands its advantages:
"No need for any human drive?"

"More than that..." Kong Ming murmured: "If the round cart is enlarged by five times, and the millstone and mortar are also enlarged to five times the size, only three seats are needed to meet the needs of the entire Gong'an County, and we can charge each time, even if we only charge [-]% of the market price... No, no, no, only charge [-]%, and all the heads of Gong'an County can come here to process grain!"

"No, no, what if you only charge [-]% or [-]% or even nothing?" Kong Ming walked around the room anxiously, and he could feel a gap in a door in his mind, revealing a charming golden light in that gap.

Huang Yueying could understand her husband's anxiety, so she thought together:

"If only [-] to [-]% is charged, wouldn't the pressure on widows and widows in the county be greatly reduced?"

"Widows and widows can easily make ends meet..." Kong Ming thought along, "The workload has been greatly reduced."

"If there is something similar to a round cart in the field that can be used for hydroponics..."

"The head of Guizhou doesn't have to work all year round." Huang Yueying seemed to understand: "If you have enough food and clothing, and know the etiquette, the era of great rule is near."

But soon Huang Yueying poured cold water on it: "How much wood is needed to spread all over Kyushu like this? How many craftsmen are needed?"

"Besides, the water force is constantly growing, and the joints of the round car are strained very quickly. As the husband said, it will expand five times in size... No, it doesn't need to be five times, even if it is only three times, the wooden parts at the joints may only last for half a day."

"All of these cost a lot of money, and round cars can only be used in places with relatively fast water flow. How many places in Kyushu can meet these requirements?"

 Thanks [RevenantEDD] for the reward of hundreds of gold and five baht!
  Thank you [yu water cooling] for your reward!

  Thanksgiving, Chapter 2 of playing workers will be a little later.
