Chapter 654: Craftsman's Courtyard
In June, the rainfall on the Leizhou Peninsula increased significantly.
A dark cloud rolled in from the east, and in the blink of an eye, a torrential rain quietly came, showing the trend of overwhelming the mountains and the sea, and pouring rain on the ancient city.
On the criss-crossed green brick streets, pedestrians fled in all directions to avoid the rain. In the blink of an eye, the streets were washed by soybean-sized rainwater, and some of the bricks flowed out of the silt, gradually forming a pool of water in the low-lying areas.
"What the hell!"
A group of people ran to the eaves of a large shop to take shelter from the rain, and looked up at the changing weather, but they couldn't help but complain.
In the past, it didn't matter if they were idle, but now that Leizhou City is under construction, they all have more or less work on their hands, and some traders are complaining because this sudden rainstorm makes it impossible for them to do business.
"It stinks!"
But at this moment, a lame beggar with a strange smell rushed in, causing the people around to frown and pinch their noses, looking at this unhurried guest with a little disgust.
A sturdy young man wiped the water stains on his body with a sweat cloth, suddenly walked up to the beggar, pointed outside, and coldly issued an eviction order: "You go elsewhere to hide from the rain!" ”
As the strong man spoke, several of his accomplices also looked in this direction, and their eyes also showed threat, and asked him to leave here obediently.
The lame beggar's body trembled and looked at these people, but it was unexpected, holding an object on his chest and shrinking into the corner and refusing: "I can't go!" ”
When the sturdy young man heard this, he was immediately furious, smashed the sweat towel to the ground, and stepped forward with a loud voice: "Master is not powerful, you really think I am a sick cat?" ”
Seeing that this sturdy man was about to teach the beggar a lesson, an angry voice suddenly said, "Liu Datou, are you bullying people again?" Believe it or not, I'm going to take you to a cell again? ”
From this shop, a cute little girl wearing a pale red skirt with breasts walked out, her beautiful eyes were like jewels, and a face like a pink carved jade, and she was glaring at Liu Datou with dissatisfaction at this time.
Liu Datou, who was still angry just now, saw the tiger girl who appeared at this time, and the whole person immediately withered, pointing at the lame beggar and saying aggrievedly: "Tiger girl, you can't blame me for this!" He stinks so much, I just let him take shelter from the rain somewhere else, and he can wash himself, right? ”
Regarding Liu Datou's statement, the people who were sheltering from the rain nodded slightly in approval, after all, this person's body was indeed too smelly, so it was better to go outside and get rid of his body.
Hu Niu gave him a blank look, and scolded him crisply: "In case of gonorrhea, are you responsible?" ”
Liu Datou was originally complacent, thinking that it was good to find this reason, but after listening to Hu Niu's rhetorical question, he knew that he was at a loss, so he took the initiative to beg for mercy: "How can I be responsible, can't I not catch him up!" ”
Hu Niu glanced at Liu Datou warningly, and didn't really mean to investigate. Although this Liu Datou was originally a ruffian, he has now changed his ways and brought some people to do some serious work.
The lame beggar saw that the crisis had been lifted, and his hanging heart also fell, and he put a white porcelain in his hand back into his arms and carefully held it, as if it was some great treasure.
"Little rabbit, take some of the pastries that Su Niang gave us just now, give him some to eat!" The tiger girl looked at the lame beggar and knew that he must be hungry, so she commanded the little rabbit.
The little rabbit who followed behind answered, and although she was still very timid, she was also a kind-hearted little girl, so she hurried back to get the pastry.
This is a newly opened rouge gouache shop, the interior is full of luxury, and there is a bit of elegance in the extravagance, only a few dozen meters from the center of the street, adjacent to the joint workshop.
In the beginning, when everyone heard that this shop was not a restaurant or restaurant, but a nonsensical rouge gouache shop, they all shook their heads and thought it was a very bad deal.
But I never expected that as soon as the store opened, there would be a surplus of customers.
Most of the female workers in the cooperative workshop are usually very frugal, but with the emergence of this kind of high-quality and inexpensive rouge gouache, they immediately flock to it, and the purchasing power shown is amazing.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
Not only the female workers of the Lian Cooperative Workshop love beauty, but some talented people also came from Guangzhou Mansion together, in order to present a grand occasion of a hundred flowers and flowers after the work of the Lian Cooperative Workshop.
The fame of the female workers in the joint workshop has led to more talented people coming together, which in turn has caused more female workers to be keen on dressing up, resulting in a greater demand for rouge gouache.
Between men and women, it is nothing more than that little thing, and the fact that a talented man meets a beautiful female weaver has been staged repeatedly, which naturally stimulates the hormones of both men and women.
In the same way, the rouge gouache market, which many businessmen are not optimistic about, is showing an unusually hot scene, which makes this rouge gouache shop with the best decoration and the most complete goods make a lot of money, causing many people to be jealous.
In the innermost part of the store, there is a quiet room where sandalwood is curling.
A beautiful woman in a brown robe is sitting in front of the desk, with a simple and refined hairstyle and a jewel with pearls, showing a sense of luxury.
Her willow eyebrows are slender, phoenix eyes are indifferent, the bridge of her nose is high, her teeth and lips are bright, she has impeccable facial features, and the snow-white skin on her neck is as delicate as a girl, and her figure is jade and elegant, especially on her chest, which stands proudly, revealing that unique temperament.
"Miss, this is the profit of the store last month!" The girl in green held the account book that had just been counted, and handed it over happily.
Hua Yingrong's gaze was withdrawn from the paper, she raised her head and glanced at it, but said lightly: "Our business is still big and small, and people can earn tens of thousands of taels in one transaction!" ”
The girl in green stuck out her tongue, knowing that the young lady was talking about the trade between the joint workshop and the Franco merchant. Since the Leizhou wharf became the only legal window to the outside world, those Franco-workers chose to buy cloth from the United Cooperative and sell it to Japan.
It's just that in her heart, she always thinks that Miss is the most powerful person, and if she is a man, she will definitely become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
"Sister Hua, the rain has stopped, have you helped me get it?" The tiger girl's people hadn't come in yet, but the cute and anxious voice came in from the outside first.
Hua Yingrong raised her head just in time to see the tiger girl who had just run in, and replied with a complicated look: "Okay! ”
Hu Niu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked for advice: "Sister Hua, how to solve that problem?" Tell me quickly, then my brother won't stop me, and I'll be out of the city again tomorrow!" ”
After returning from Lianzhou City, Hu Niu and Lin Haoran had a new way to get along.
Lin Haoran made it difficult to solve the problem, if the tiger girl solved the problem, she could go out of the city to play, otherwise she would stay in Leizhou City obediently.
You can't blame Lin Haoran for restraining the tiger girl, this girl is really not worry-free. She seems to be tired of playing in the three provinces of western Guangdong, and plans to cross the Qiongzhou Strait and go to Qiongzhou Mansion to play.
Lin Haoran thought that Jiang Ronghua's father disappeared on the sea to Qiongzhou Mansion, and he didn't want to be the second Jiang Ronghua, so he naturally disagreed with Hu Niu's nonsense, so he restrained her behavior.
Tiger Girl is not a rigid person, whenever Tiger Girl's brain is not enough, she will come to the smart Hua Yingrong for help.
Hua Yingrong was able to cope with it at first, but now it is becoming more and more difficult, especially today's question: "Leizhou Wharf and Haojing Wharf are five hundred miles apart, a sea ship takes four days from Haojing Wharf to Leizhou Wharf, and it takes five days to return to Haojing Wharf from Leizhou Wharf, what is the speed of the sea ship in still water?" ”
"Sister Hua, how to solve this problem?" The tiger girl came to the case and seemed anxious to pursue the road.
Hua Yingrong smelled the good fragrance on her body, first explained, and then finally concluded: "By adding and dividing by two by the speed of the sea boat, you can know the speed of the sea ship, so you can walk 112.5 miles a day." ”
"Uh, I see, what about the speed of the current?" The tiger girl suddenly responded, and then pursued the Tao again.
Hua Yingrong was also surprised by Hu Niu's ability to understand, or thanks to that man's teaching ability, Hu Niu's current level is much higher than that of ordinary people, at least higher than that of her in the same period, so she explained: "Subtract the speed of the boat in still water from the speed of the boat going forward, and this gives the speed of the current, and the speed of the current is that the boat can travel 12.5 miles more in a day." ”
"Sister Hua, you are so amazing, I went to find my brother!" The tiger girl complimented, and then hurried out again.
Hua Yingrong watched the tiger girl leave, but the corners of her mouth were filled with a hint of bitterness. She is true, but the man who asked the question is undoubtedly even more powerful, and he can actually see this kind of thing.
However, her competitive spirit seemed to be aroused, causing her to have some vague expectations in her heart, not knowing what strange questions the man would use to make things difficult for her next time.
Hey?
The girl in green glanced at her young lady, and was surprised to find that the young lady had a smile on her face facing the question.
After the rain, the whole sky is already clear, the eaves are dripping with water, and the washed streets look clean and natural.
After the tiger girl came out of the store, she hurriedly walked in the direction of the government office with her little short legs. It's just that halfway through, someone told my brother that he had arrived at the craftsman's house, so he went around to the craftsman's house.
Ever since the establishment of the Craftsman's House, my brother has been here often, carrying those guns and cannons.
Before she could reach the door, she saw several soldiers standing there stop the lame beggar, and the leader of the soldiers angrily rebuked: "Ask for food elsewhere!" Don't look at where this is, this is the Leizhou Craftsman Academy! ”
"I'm just looking for the Craftsman's Academy, I want to see Lord Fuzun!" The lame beggar said pitifully.
The soldier leader immediately snorted coldly and said impatiently, "Lord Fuzun is something you can see if you want to?" Get out of here quickly, or you're welcome!" ”
The lame beggar slipped and fell to the ground, and when he saw that the gate was in front of him, but he could not enter, he could not help but feel a sense of sorrow in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Ling Er, what are you doing here?" Hu Niu knew that her brother didn't like irrelevant people to disturb him, especially a beggar, but looking at the appearance of the lame beggar, she immediately lowered her face and blamed.
When Ling Er saw the tiger girl appear, he immediately hurriedly explained: "Tiger girl, I didn't push him down, he fell by himself, if you don't believe it, you can ask Li Si about them!" ”
"Who are you? Why do you have to see my brother? Hu Niu naturally knew that it had nothing to do with Ling Er, so she came to the lame beggar and asked suspiciously.
"Grass farmer Liu Tiehammer, participate in the eldest lady!" Liu Tiezhu saw that it was the tiger girl who had helped him before, and immediately saw a glimmer of hope, and at the same time felt extremely surprised that this little girl turned out to be Lord Lin's own sister.
"You don't have to be polite to me! My brother is very busy, if you have anything to find him, I can help you pass the word! The tiger girl waved her hand, and then seemed to speak very well.
Liu Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, and then took out the white porcelain bottle in his chest and said, "The grass people want to dedicate this thing to Lord Lin, but ...... But the grass people want to meet him in person! ”
"What is this?" Tiger Girl asked puzzled.
Liu Tiezhu was puzzled for a moment, but still handed over the white porcelain bottle, looking extremely careful.
Hu Niu took the white porcelain bottle, first squinted her eyes and glanced inside, then sniffed it lightly, and then unexpectedly handed it back to Liu Tiehammer and said, "Then you can go in with me!" ”
"Thank you, Miss!" Liu Tiezhu took the white porcelain bottle and thanked him sincerely.
The Craftsman's House is a three-way house, but the house has been remodeled and has become a government-like existence. From the front yard, the middle yard to the back yard, they are all full of busy figures.
Since Lin Haoran served as the Haibei Soldier's Guard, he has also gathered the outstanding craftsmen of Leizhouwei and Lianzhouwei into the Craftsman's Courtyard in a high-sounding manner, and the treatment he gives will naturally not be low.
For example, the craftsmen of the guard house are inferior to the military households, and the military households still have the opportunity to kill thieves and fight for military exploits, and they can only serve the guard honestly.
In particular, they were born as military households, and they could not engage in the "cheap industry" of merchants, and they could not open a shop and make money by handicraft. At most, they use their leisure time to do some private work, but they often just barely get by.
However, they had good luck with the warmakers. They are big fish and meat every day in the craftsman's house, doing the most comfortable things, and they can also receive an extra salary, and their status is much higher than before.
In the past, it felt like everyone could bully them, but now they follow Lin Fuzun every day, and on the other hand, many people can be busy stammering with them, for fear that if they are unhappy, they will find Lin Haoran to make a small report.
"Your Excellency is in the Gun Room!"
Hu Niu led Liu Tiehammer inside, and someone told Lin Haoran the specific location.
Lin Haoran was indeed in the gun room, standing in front of a drilling machine, watching a craftsman push the wooden rod so that the drill knife deep into the inner wall of the gun tube rotated evenly, and carved rifling lines on the inner wall of the gun tube.
Needless to say, rifling is important for the flight of lead bullets, and it is also a major difficulty in making firearms. If he relied on human production, not to mention whether he could meet the standard, he would probably have to continue to buy guns from the Francophone man, and as for mass production, it would become nonsense.
But fortunately, after his push, the problems encountered are being solved one by one. This Craftsman's House is more powerful than he imagined, and it is getting closer to his dream of building a powerful warship step by step.
He has little ambition to build a powerful warship, and he has no ambition to dominate the world, but the South Seas is his battleground.
"Brother!" The tiger girl ran in and shouted with some excitement.
Lin Haoran felt warm in her heart when she saw this wild girl appear, and she liked the lively appearance of this girl very much, but suddenly found that she had brought in a lame beggar.
"Grass farmer Liu Tiehammer to meet the adult, this is a gift for the adult, please give it a try!" Liu Tiezhu immediately bowed and bowed, and begged with both hands holding the white porcelain bottle alof.
Lin Haoran glanced at the tiger girl suspiciously, and then took the bottle. He pulled the plug off, smelled a familiar smell, frowned and asked, "Gunpowder?" ”
