Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
Zhang Chengwang's incident spread quickly in the village. To be honest, it was just a small matter, and generally speaking, it would not spread. But Su Yuewei couldn't help but wanted to show off, so she went out of her way to show off that she wanted to cook for the county magistrate.
. As a result, his face was swollen, and the county magistrate was so anxious to go home that he didn’t even drink tea.
Naturally, Zhang Chengwang would not blame himself for being sentimental. He was only annoyed that Su Yuewei had a big mouth and spread the word without saying anything, which made him lose face in the village this time.
Su Yuewei felt aggrieved. If she hadn't been so steadfast as her husband said, and she wanted to make the villagers who looked down upon others jealous, she wouldn't have told her.
After Zhang Chengwang scolded Su Yuewei, he stayed in the study every day.
The reason why Magistrate Yao doesn't take him seriously is not because he did not do well in the college examination last year, so he doesn't think highly of him. Therefore, he must prepare well and strive to make a blockbuster and slap in the face those who look down on him. It is best to be able to
Suppress Yuan Suijun.
Thirty years to the west of the river and thirty years to the east of the river. Don’t bully young people into poverty. He read this sentence from "The Legend of Su Yuan" and thought it suited him very well.
Yao Zhixian didn't know that he was in a hurry to go back and write the book, but Zhang Chengwang was trying to figure it out. He only wanted to deal with this matter quickly. For this reason, he also began to pay attention to the road built in Guangning County.
, dispatched two detectives to check over from time to time and help if anyone was causing trouble.
In the eyes of the outside world, this is undoubtedly a signal that he supports road construction in Guangning County. No one really dares to make a stumbling block on this matter. Besides, road construction will not be done unless he has to enmity with two villages.
Really start.
Thanks to the help of the villagers of Ankou Village, the road was repaired before April.
Looking at the road they built, they couldn't be more proud. They were proud but also a little melancholy. It was hard work during this period, but the food was really not that good. If they wanted to eat it in the future, they would have to count on Su Yueling to continue building a new house.
.
Su Yueling also came out to take a look - yes, no one cut corners, and after the roads were all hardened, she could occasionally take a carriage into the city for a walk.
The villagers have indeed worked hard during this period. After all, they all took time to build roads during the busy farming season, and some of them also took time to build roads at night. Since they don’t want wages, just give them things. You can’t continue to do so.
If you don’t give overtime pay, don’t you become a capitalist?
The most indispensable thing in the Su family now is silk and satin. Yuan Baoshu has continued to dye it since the New Year. When she dyes it, her maid Dongyue will also help. Now the dyed cloth can be said to be piled up like a mountain.
Su Yueling asked her, "Let's share some of the cloth at home and give it to them as gifts." She thought for a moment and added: "I heard that Ankou Village also helped later, right? Then leave it to them too.
One portion, theirs is less than half that of the villagers in our village."
Yuan Baoshu quickly counted the cloths piled up in the warehouse in her mind. Those cloths were no inferior to those on the market, but they had not yet reached the standard of perfection in her mind, so she had no intention of selling them or giving them as gifts.
It is indeed possible. The Yuan family who helped build the road are all registered. After all, you need to know the approximate number of people to cook every day, so just look at the booklet.
She nodded, "There is enough cloth in the warehouse."
The villagers' helpers are divided according to their heads. Each head of silk is divided into 1.5 feet, and each head of fine cotton is divided into 1.5 feet. In this case, it is almost the same.
"In addition to fabrics, let's buy them sugar. The white sugar is ready, it is suitable whether it is given away or sold."
Yuan Baoshu and Dongyue spent a day sorting out the silk and muslin (she currently dyes mostly silk and muslin), and wrapped each one in a package. Adding a pack of white sugar, the gift was ready
alright.
Several servants of the Yuan family went door-to-door to deliver the goods based on the roster. Wu Shu was there to help. After all, those servants couldn't read and couldn't check the roster, so they had to rely on her.
While Wu Shu was writing this, he was thinking that he could teach a few more servants how to read, without asking them to speak in a coherent manner or to become blind.
If it was money, the villagers would really not accept it, but the gift was cloth and sugar - everyone had already divided it up, and it would be inconvenient to take it back if they refused. So they accepted it with gratitude.
The villagers in Ankou Village were very excited. They didn't expect that they were also involved.
Whether it is silk or fine cotton, they are all good things that they are reluctant to buy during the Chinese New Year. Especially the color of this cloth is so beautiful, the color is bright and bright, imagine wearing it, it will look very good. Others who don’t have it see
I almost regretted this. If I had known earlier, they would have rushed there.
As for white sugar, they are reluctant to eat it at all, and prepare to use it to entertain guests when there are distinguished guests at home.
…
Magistrate Yao's copy passed through the hands of Dingnan Prefecture Wen, and was finally presented to the Emperor Rong Ji of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Rong Ji had some impressions of Magistrate Wen. The three-spindle pedal spinning wheel that was recently introduced to the capital was originally invented by a woman in Dingnanzhou. People from the Ministry of Industry specially found people to test it. After testing, this
The pedal spinning wheel directly improved the efficiency of weaving.
Rong Ji has issued an order for the Ministry of Industry to roll out the spinning wheel as soon as possible.
According to the following account, the inventor of this spinning wheel is named Su Yueling. Her husband was still a young talent who was awarded the title of scholar at the age of fourteen. However, due to health reasons, he has not been able to do so for all these years.
Emperor Rong Ji of Great Xia was thinking about giving something to the couple in the name of the queen, and he could also write a plaque to them personally.
Because of the spinning wheel, Magistrate Wen left a bit of an impression on him. When he opened the brochure, he did not read through it like other brochures.
As he watched, his eyes widened involuntarily.
"Using glutinous rice to build roads?"
"Stronger than Sanhetu...can be used to pave roads, build city walls and build embankments."
Rong Ji couldn't help but stood up, holding the folding book in his hand. If what was said above was true, he could really try it. Although using glutinous rice is relatively expensive, the money can be compared with the annual cost of river control.
It's not worth mentioning.
He told the chamberlain beside him, "Go and ask the Minister of Industry to come over."
Let the Ministry of Industry do an experiment first to see if the glutinous rice road construction is as magical as the brochure says.
Even Rong Ji, who has been on the throne for more than ten years, can't help but feel excited about it.
Speaking of which, the people who came up with this recipe were Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun.
Huh?
Su Yueling?
The inventor of the three-spindle pedal spinning wheel?
Afraid that he had remembered it incorrectly, the emperor read the book again.
Guangning County. Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun.
It’s really them!
While the emperor was overjoyed, he also had a headache. The reward for the three spinning wheels had not yet been received, and Su Yueling had made new achievements, so the original reward was somewhat insufficient.
