The story continued, and Li Yue returned to her room feeling very depressed after hearing the whole story.
I just feel depressed and don't seem to want to cry anymore.
Seeing the little bear sleeping on the ground, Zhang Yang took out the scissors from his toolbox.
Lifting it up with one hand and placing it on the table, Zhang Yang lifted its paws and immediately cut off its nails without it paying attention.
The originally drowsy little bear woke up completely this time. It tried hard to pull its paw back, but it couldn't match the strength of the male owner in front of it.
Unlike a cat, a bear's claws don't need to press against the flesh pads. Its claws are on the surface, which is much more convenient.
Cut off the tips of its claws to at least prevent it from scratching Xiao Wu.
In the past, its claws were relatively soft, but now it can scratch marks on wood, showing the lethality of its claws.
After trimming one paw, I picked up the other paw. There was some resistance at first, but the second time it didn't resist either. It whined and purred softly and seemed to enjoy it.
After checking to make sure that all four claws had been trimmed, Zhang Yang picked it up and threw it away, then continued busy with his own business.
Drawings are hung on the wall. These are the improved assembly line drawings. According to the previous design and the report of Niu Chuang's technical team, the biggest problem is in the outlet section, when the needle pulls the cotton thread out of the cotton pile.
, it’s easy to get stuck in it.
Zhang Yang re-outlined the drawings. These mechanical memories were from his previous life. In the past, when his family was poor, he would help his parents work in a small factory every day after school or on weekends.
These experiences are all valuable. Looking back now, I can even remember the smell of engine oil.
Referring to the overall assembly line design drawing, Zhang Yang drew parts one by one. Large parts were handed over to the engineering department for production. Some small parts that required high precision could only be made by himself.
Making iron buckles and re-polishing the bearings will take a lot of time.
I don’t know what time it was, but Zhang Yang finished washing and was ready to rest. He opened the door of his wife’s room and saw that she and Xiao Wu were sleeping soundly under quilts.
Zhang Yang returned to his room and saw Little Bear sleeping in the middle of the quilt.
When winter comes, the bear's mobility has deteriorated a lot, and it is not as lively as before. Sometimes it doesn't resist even when Xiao Wu bullies it.
Zhang Yang reached out and pushed the sleeping bear to the corner, then covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.
When he woke up, Zhang Yang opened his eyes and it was already dawn. He pushed the little bear away from the quilt. It opened its mouth lazily, covered its nose with its paws and continued to sleep.
Li Yue and Xiao Wu had woken up a long time ago, and they were having trouble in the kitchen at the moment.
Every time Li Yue ordered her to add firewood and salt, Xiao Wu always responded resoundingly.
Zhang Yang scratched his head in confusion, not knowing how they could get into a fighting posture just by making breakfast.
I don't know if there will be any problems with the earthen stove at home. The two of them probably won't dismantle the earthen stove.
The little bear stopped sleeping, walked slowly to his bowl, and kept licking the water.
Zhang Yang washed up expressionlessly.
The sunshine today is quite warm, and it feels very comfortable when it's on my body.
Looking at the bowl of porridge brought by Li Yue, the porridge is very thick and you can see the minced bacon inside.
Zhang Yang was drinking from a bowl in one hand, thinking about how to improve the drawings.
Printing is fine, but papermaking still needs to be kept secret. People know that Lishan has a powerful printing technology. No matter how powerful the printing technology is, without a source of paper, it is like a clever woman trying to make a meal without rice, so there is nothing to worry about.
For the aristocratic family that controls most of the books and readers, it does not pose a threat.
Zhang Yang stood up and stood on the chair. Looking from the wall of his house, he saw that the two aunts had already shredded the papers and placed them neatly in the yard. The papers were dried in neat rows. "Aunt, the weather is getting warmer and the drying will begin."
, and don’t let it sit for too long.”
"I understand." Auntie nodded with a smile.
There isn't much moisture in the air, which makes people uncomfortable if left in for a long time.
Li Yue handed Xiao Wu a shovel, and the two of them dug out all the copper coins buried in their yard and said, "Aunt Wang, please go and greet the people in the palace. All our copper coins will be exchanged for silver cakes."
Aunt Wang responded and walked out of the house, locking her own home at the same time.
Bags of copper coins were dug out, and Xiao Wu never tired of it.
Dry these copper coins and use them to exchange for silver cakes.
The value of copper coins is not too high. With the huge gap between the rich and the poor, rich people have to worry about having too many copper coins in their homes, and they have to clean up the rusty copper coins from time to time.
For ordinary people, having a few strings of copper coins at home is considered good.
Except for copper coin transactions, gold and silver are basically used for bulk goods transactions.
Seeing that the little bear had finished a bowl of porridge, he was squinting comfortably and staring at the sun, with his two paws weakly placed by his face.
Li Yue and Xiao Wu dug several holes in their yard. They were sweating from exhaustion and collected sixteen bags of copper coins. They spread them out in the yard and put them in the sun to dry.
The casting quality of the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty was not good, and the surface color of the copper coins was very dull, especially after being stored for a long time.
The value of copper coins will also become lower and lower as their quality deteriorates.
After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he initially used the circulating coins of the former Sui Dynasty, which was the Sui five baht. Four years after Li Yuan ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty also began to become stable. After he truly took control of the throne, he began to imitate the Han Dynasty and issued the Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Qian Wen was also written by Ouyang Xun.
It's just that in the Tang Dynasty, when agriculture was still in its infancy, Li Shimin still focused on farming and mulberry farming. Copper coins were only frequently circulated in a few large state capitals, and remote places were still in the barter stage.
Li Yue and Xiao Wu walked into the bathroom to take a bath together. Zhang Yang drank tea and looked at the book in his hand. The book was brought from the East Palace. Anyway, His Highness the Prince agreed to read his book casually.
This volume is about civil architecture since the Sui Dynasty.
I don’t know why there are books related to civil engineering in the East Palace. This volume of engineering examination records is compiled based on previous engineering examination records.
For example, it is written in the book: "The work of tapping metal is six, the work of tapping leather is five, the work of coloring is five, the work of scraping is five, and the work of beating is two."
It sounds very awkward to read, but the meaning is actually very simple. It is nothing more than scraping and coloring.
It’s very brain-consuming to understand architecture using ancient people’s thinking.
Zhang Yang picked up another volume and continued reading.
"How to transform rivers into canals?"
Hearing his wife's words, Zhang Yang looked back and saw that Li Yue and Xiao Wu had already taken a shower, changed clothes, and were wiping their wet hair.
She still smells fragrant.
Zhang Yang smelled it again and said, "Daughter-in-law, have you used His Highness the Prince of Wei's soap?"
Li Yue was still wiping her hair, "It's all soap from my own home. Qingque herself is reluctant to sell it, so I can get it from anywhere. I used some dried flower petals given by my mother, which is suitable for bathing."
"Peony petals?"
Li Yue nodded, "My husband has a good nose."
"I don't know if bathing with flower petals is harmful to the skin. It's better to use it sparingly in the future."
Li Yue's eyes were smiling, especially when she saw her husband's scent attracting her. Then she looked at the book in his hand and asked, "Why are you reading this kind of book?"
Zhang Yang came back to his senses and said: "Read the books on this subject to lay the foundation for the future."
Xiao Wu also walked out of the house. She obediently brought a small bench and a small table for herself. The master and the apprentice sat in the yard, combing their hair in the sun.
After a while, Aunt Wang came with people from the palace. This time the people she brought were pulling carts and were ready to transport a large amount of copper coins.
Aunt Wang walked into the courtyard with a man. The man was carrying a bamboo tube. He opened the big bamboo tube and took out a large roll of bamboo slips, which was even bigger than the size of a bear.
The man spread out huge bamboo slips on the ground, as if he was carefully calculating, and under the supervision of the two aunts, he took out all the copper coins.
Li Yue was still patiently teaching Xiao Wu how to solve problems and explaining the four arithmetic operations.
Li Yue was not worried about the price. The people sent were all the Queen's people, and these copper coins were all going to be sent to the palace.
Several eunuchs arranged by the palace spent a long time cleaning up outside, classifying the copper coins of good quality and bad quality, and priced them at a lower price than the market price, with six hundred copper coins priced at five hundred and fifty.
Aunt Wang brought in a box of silver cakes and said, "Your Highness, the princess, has already made arrangements."
Li Yue took a look at the quality of the silver cake in the box and nodded.
After a series of things were done, Li Yue didn't have to show up directly or negotiate the price with them. With such a long-term customer, the palace would naturally not refuse.
The loss of six hundred copper coins by fifty coins is still acceptable. If these copper coins are stored for a longer time, the value will be lower, and the palace will not lose money on this transaction.
And these copper coins were either used to reward Li Shimin's ministers, or used for palace expenses, or they were used to recast them.
I don’t know if people in the palace know that copper rust can actually be removed.
If you buy these old copper coins at a discount, and then remove the patina yourself, you can turn the originally lower-valued copper coins into brand new copper.
Zhang Yang thought that if this method was feasible, he could accumulate more wealth in a short period of time.
It is considered a crooked way, but those who accept copper coins are government officials. If someone knows that he has purchased copper coins on a large scale, there is a high probability that he will be caught.
Giving copper coins to the palace can also let the people in the palace know that although our family is rich, we are good residents of Chang'an City who pay taxes on time and follow the rules and hand over copper coins.
Li Yue took the account and said: "This time, Lishan's medicinal materials for treating frostbite have been consumed very quickly. I heard from my aunt that there have been a lot of people coming to our Lishan Surgery to see patients recently, especially those who come to treat their teeth."
Whether it is wisdom teeth or cavities, they were both very troublesome in ancient times. I was lucky enough to see someone having their teeth extracted on the streets of Chang'an City. I may never forget that scene for a long time. When the cavities were pulled out, the blood would pop out, and I would not
There are preventive measures such as anesthesia and disinfection.
It's really scary, and the concept of hygiene is too backward.
Zhang Yang asked doubtfully: "Did Dr. Sun divide the departments into different departments?"
Li Yue nodded, "According to my husband's arrangement, our medical center now has a trauma department, orthopedics, and dentistry. As for the others, we still have to wait for staff."
The entire medical center is managed by Sun Simiao, who is the absolute boss of Lishan Medical Center.
Taking out the arranged silver cakes, Li Yue took out half of them and said, "Send these silver cakes to the medical center and let Divine Doctor Sun prepare to buy medicinal materials."
Aunt Wang took the silver cake and went to do some work.
The income in the village basically stays in the village, and the money at home is the copper coin after splitting it with Li Taicheng Chumo and others, and Li Yue knows this clearly.
"Brother-in-law, imperial sister, follow me to a place quickly."
Li Tai's shouts came from outside the door, and Zhang Yang felt a sense of contempt for this fat man. Why is he always shouting recently? Is it because he has reached the rebellious stage?
The whole family had no reaction to Li Tai's words.
Li Tai asked again: "Aren't we going to ski?"
Zhang Yang put away the book in his hand, stood up and stretched, "Daughter-in-law, let's go for a walk."
Li Yue nodded, "Okay."
"What? Go out for a walk?" Li Tai said in surprise: "I asked people to build a snow cellar. Even if it is warm outside, it is still very cold in our cellar, so we built a snow slope inside."
Not interested in a snow cellar like Li Tai's, Zhang Yang said helplessly: "Once or twice is enough. If you play too much, that's it."
The couple took Xiao Wu out of the house.
The little fat man had no choice but to compromise and said, "Forget it then, I plan to go skiing with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law."
Li Yue whispered to Li Tai as she walked along, "Although Qingque has made a contribution to the snow disaster this time, don't be too proud now. You should study more and be more humble. Look at your brother-in-law.
No matter whether he is rewarded or demoted, he is always calm and calm."
Hearing Sister Huang's scolding, Li Tai's enthusiasm was extinguished by a basin of cold water. He whispered, "Then I'll go for a walk too."
I know that the DPRK and the Central Government have already dealt with the snow disaster, but I don’t know how it will be handled.
Several people walked eastward along the Weishui River. Along the way, Li Tai talked about the process of this governance, including how he slept for an hour or two every day, directed people to work in the mud, and dug ditches overnight.
"It was freezing cold at that time. Many people couldn't bear the cold, so a group of people went to the fire to warm up first, while others took their place."
The little fat man narrated what happened like a little adult.
"Many people have contracted the cold, but our Lishan Medical Center has given them medicinal materials. As long as they take the medicine well, they will be fine."
Zhang Yang looked at the bank of the Weishui River and saw that several ditches had indeed been dug to share the pressure on the main river.
Li Tai added: "The method of melting snow that my brother-in-law said is really useful. Both sand and charcoal have the effect of melting snow, but the feeling is not obvious."
Zhang Yang explained: "Because sand can absorb heat to melt snow, it would be better if it were made with salt, but the cost of salt was too high so we did not consider it."
Warm sunshine is rare in winter, so a few people barbecued by the river and watched the scenery.
It feels good to leave the trivial matters of life and the affairs of the court behind, and have fun in peace.
Let Xiao Wu look at the fishing line, while Zhang Yang and Li Yue play cards with their brother-in-law.
Li Tai is a shrewd boy, but his brand is not very good. He curses his guards when he loses money. Every time this happens, Li Yue glares at him before he gives up.
Because the weather is too dry, the weather is sunny and sunny.
Li Yue and Xiao Wu's skin became very dry and red.
Warm sunshine is rare, and the cold air in winter does not come just once.
