The two led Zhao Hao to the well in the northwest corner of the back yard.

Zhao Shizhen lifted a thick quilt wrapped in the well, and a familiar thing came into Zhao Hao's eyes.

"Hand pressure the pump!"

Zhao Hao whistled happily, skillfully pressed the handle of the water pump with both hands, and with a few clicks, the well water more than two feet deep was pumped up. The faucet attached to the pump body is pouring water.

The water-lifting device, removing the part of the steam engine, changed from automatic to manual, which is no different from the hand pressure pump used to draw water in the countryside in later generations.

"Master really knew about this thing for a long time......"

Zhang Jian's self-confidence was hit a little.

He had planned to demonstrate it to his master to prove that he would not hold his master back......

Zhang Jian is actually the one with the highest sum of all the disciples...... Even if the brothers and sisters didn't go through the tone, he could clearly feel that the master attached great importance to the imperial examination.

In Zhang Jian's opinion, there is nothing strange about this.

He felt that the master should establish the image that scientists are elites, and if his disciples can all enter high school, it will naturally be the most convincing-

After all, in this Ming Dynasty, if you can't even read the Four Books and Five Classics well, and you still say that you are an elite, you will be laughed out of your big teeth...... And I just got that damn problem. As long as I am in the school for one day, the ideal of being a scholar under the science sect will never be realized.

is because he wants to prove himself more and more from other places, and if he does not take the imperial examination, he can also add glory to his teacher.

Who knew that the invention he worked so hard to come up with was left over from the master's play.

"You can come up with the idea of changing the water lifter to manual without me prompting it, and make a practical machine." Zhao Hao seemed to sense his frustration, and patted the sixth disciple's shoulder encouragingly:

"What a fucking genius!"

obviously heard a vulgar word, but Zhang Jian heard a fairy sound. I feel that my whole person is suddenly energetic!

"Thank you, Master, I will continue to work hard!"

"Hmm."

Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shizhen again, and only the ingenious eldest nephew could use a bunch of common materials to make that quite perfect Newcomen machine model.

He also smiled and encouraged him: "You are also good!" ”

The eldest nephew bloomed at the time.

~~

Before dinner, Sun Dawu and Guo Da came together.

Usually, the two of them take turns to come and report.

But Zhao Hao accompanied his father in retreat for a while, and he didn't see anyone for more than 20 days. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got out of the customs, these two people came together.

"You two have pretty smart noses." After the two kowtowed, Zhao Hao beckoned the two to go up to the kang and said, "If you haven't eaten, come, sit down and use some together." ”

"In front of Childe, there is no place for us to eat." The two hurriedly excused themselves.

Zhao Hao was not reluctant.

Well, rules are a good thing, don't break them easily.

He took Zhao Shouzheng's millet porridge, and while blowing the hot air, he asked, "What's the good thing about this?" It's so good that both of your mouths are cracked to the back of your head. ”

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from my son." Sun Dawu smiled happily: "Today is the day when our coal yard is officially open for a month." ”

"Sold for twenty-eight days." Guo Da hurriedly added.

"yes, I forgot about it." Zhao Hao drank the fragrant gruel and asked lightly, "How are the results?" ”

"I'm here to give the good news to my son." Sun Dawu hurriedly took out the account book of the coal yard from his arms, and presented it to Zhao Hao with both hands: "I have counted it several times, and there is no mistake in the designation." ”

Zhao Hao nodded, grabbed a crisp red pickle in the snow with chopsticks and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"Yes, Childe." Sun Dawu swallowed his saliva, suppressed his excitement and trembled:

"This month, excluding the odds, a total of 123,210 taels of silver and 28,790,000 catties of coal were earned. After deducting the wages for the workers, the purchase of coal, the purchase of the staff's errands, and other expenses, a total profit of 32,200 taels was made, and the prince ......"

"Childe, the villain has lived for most of his life, and the first time I heard that there is such a profitable business!" Guo Da also presented a sycophant at the right time and said: "Gongzi is really a god!" Childe is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth! ”

"No, the God of Wealth is also surnamed Zhao." Sun Dawu and Guo Dayi sang a harmony, which made Zhao Hao happy, but he still had to pretend to be calm in front of the people below:

"That's your lonely and unheard, in the southeast, there are more lucrative deals than pouring coal."

"Anyway, north of the Yangtze River, the villain has never seen it!" Sun Dawu's excited cheeks trembled and said: "Even if the Lugouqiao Coal Yard is included in the cost, the son will return to the capital in January!" God, so god! ”

Zhao Haoxin said that my son had returned to his capital one day. Of course, the small business of Weijixian cannot be compared with this kind of capital-intensive and labor-intensive large industry.

Even if the net profit of 30,000 taels is 30,000 taels, he can only divide half of it, and there are 15,000 taels. He can only divide 10,000 taels a year, so this comparison is indeed a small deal.

Zhao Gongzi thought beautifully, now he can build the garden of Xiaocang Mountain into a heavenly palace and a fairyland on earth......

"Moreover, this is the result of halving sales due to transportation restrictions in the first half of the year. The villain and the old grandson estimated that if the production capacity is mentioned again next month and the capacity is fully opened, maybe it can be pure into 50,000 taels! ”

Zhao Shizhen, who was waiting on the side, was simply dizzy. Although he is not interested in doing business, he has been exposed to his uncle since he was a child, and he also knows what the concept of earning 50,000 taels a month is.

His uncle's fireworks shop doesn't earn more than fifty taels a month. The business is already booming......

At this moment, in the ears of the eldest nephew, he kept thinking about his uncle, and the sentence on his lips, 'My son is not here to make money......

If this is a bent on making money, will you have to earn 100,000 taels a month?

~~

"Alright, alright." Zhao Hao was tired of listening to the endless flattery of the two, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't look like you're unproductive, my son said, I'm doing this business......"

"Not to make money!" Sun Dawu and Guo Da said in unison: "Otherwise, you can earn more!" ”

"Well, don't say this kind of thing in the future, it sounds like a bad beating...... Zhao Hao himself was embarrassed, touched his nose and smiled.

Naturally, the two stewards laughed along.

"Alright, you two have done a great job." Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said: "One person will be rewarded with eight hundred taels, and another six hundred taels will be distributed to the steward below, and it will be said that this son will be rewarded extra." ”

At this time, it is not a royal store or a private shop. After making money, the owner will probably take out about half of the profit according to the rules of the industry to reward his employees...... Zhao Hao did the same in Weijixian.

This time, the number given by Zhao Hao has slightly exceeded half percent, and it is on the basis of huge profits. The two were naturally overjoyed, and happily thanked the son for the reward.

In this way, they are not greedy or black, as long as they continue to do their duty, their annual income will exceed 10,000 taels. It's almost the same as the high-flying Ji Sizheng......

Thinking of this stubble, the two of them, who were still worried about their fate a month ago, fainted with joy.

As everyone knows, Ji Sizheng's current income has far exceeded this number......
