Chapter 63: I, Wang Hansan, is back!
Early the next morning, with Cao Hongjie, he sent ox carts to various villages to pick up more than 20 children who had just been taught.
Fortunately, thanks to Yu Ji, the old god stick, this time his ox cart is a lot more comfortable, this time when he comes back, he has nothing to do, he went to the old god stick's newly built Danfang to hang out, and turned out a soft stone, soft manganese!
This thing old guy said that it was to refine tin to alchemy, and some of the pottery porcelain also used this thing to glaze the porcelain surface, and there are a lot of soft manganese ore like this, which is not a rare thing.
But for Wang Hou, a traverser, he slapped his thigh violently, manganese! Isn't this added to steel spring steel?
How to extract pure manganese from the ore Wang Hou doesn't understand, he is not a chemist, but there is no shortage of steel anyway, then burn it, Wang Yuan was tossed by him again, burned the blast furnace, and at the same time filled the steel method, and added this soft manganese ore, but this weight is really difficult to master, not to mention a lot of impurities in the steel burned out of the first few times, the whole piece of steel is as brittle as glass, Wang Hou went down with a fist, and was stunned to break more than ten catties of steel, and Zhao Yun, who saw the excitement, was stunned.
It wasn't until the last two days of Wang Hou's teaching that Wang Yuan came to the door with great excitement, and the new steel was made!
What other elements are in the soft manganese ore Wang Hou is not known at all, anyway, it has been quenched early, and the tempered steel bar is already similar to the spring steel he has seen in later generations, and the elasticity is strong and tight.
However, the crooked nuts applied gunpowder to war, but the Chinese invented the stalk of fireworks and fulfilled it on Wang Hou, Wang Yuan was still gearing up to make a few swords with new steel, but Wang Hou unceremoniously confiscated all these spring steels, made them into long strip-like sheets, bowed back, hoopped together with steel hoops, and then padded on the top of the axle of the wheel, fixed under the carriage.
Wang Yuan's tears are prosperous, but Wang Hou is comfortable, this time the big wheel wrapped in cowhide is no longer pressed on the stone or in the pit, the flexible spring steel rebounds upward as a shock absorption, and eats more than half of the huge impact of this buttocks, although it is still upside down, but it is much stronger than before!
However, although the ox cart was comfortable, Wang Hou was depressed, because in the ox cart, Cao Hongjie specially prepared a small table, and also found two Wang Hou's primary school students to play Wang Hou's "invented" checkers with her.
Originally, she was still holding the rope, planning to continue to fool this girl to tie it, and then take advantage of her inability to resist to carry out some romantic stories of Yu Zhanao and Xi'er in the sorghum field, this is good, the two small light bulbs are staring here, everything is in vain, the ox cart is swaying, in this girl's proud straight eyebrows, Wang Hou is sad gritted his teeth.
Xu Du is also more than two days away from Wuyang, and when he actually arrived in Wuyang, it was already a full seventeen days later, compared to the cold and indifferent greeting last time, they were all small people, this time, the welcome lineup was much grander, Han Rong, one of the servants of Jiuqing, Han Yun, Han Yun, Han Shuo and a large group of old guys from Wuyang Han appeared.
It's just that the greeting lineup is up, but it can't be said to be warm, after all, Wang Hou came to check on them and collect their taxes, and none of these "righteous gentlemen" laughed, with a rigid old face, just like who owed him eight hundred taels of silver, the servant Han Rong bluntly hugged Wang Hou who got out of the carriage.
"Wang Lingguan has had a hard journey, Han Mou in the house has prepared a thin banquet, and asked the Lingguan to trim for a while, and later, Han Mou will present the population of the clan in the acres of land!"
Compared with him, Wang Houke is much more self-contained, at least the smirk on his face looks like it is real from a distance, with a smile on his face, he also returns the salute with a heavy fist.
"So, it's too tiresome!"
said that it was a thin banquet, it was really a thin banquet, tens of thousands of corn porridge, a few radish pickles eaten in winter, and even a little bit of green was not given, let alone meat and fishy, fortunately, neither Wang Hou nor Cao Hongjie wanted him to eat this mouthful, and it was mixed up with a simple cushion on the stomach.
And after entering the house, Wang Hou also had some unexpected gains, the last time he came, Wuyang Han was known as Han Bancheng, really most of Wuyang City is the Han family's home, directly came to a half, next to Wuyang County Ya to the east city wall are all Han mansions, this time, the house is much smaller, the original courtyard garden rockery extending in all directions was divided by the courtyard wall one by one, and became more than ten independent family courtyards.
Such a layout made Wang Hou nod thoughtfully with the water glass.
Sure enough, he didn't pee, and after a cold banquet, the housekeeper of the Han Mansion, who had seen the slippery old ghost last time, came over with the same account book as last time, opened the account book and looked at two pages, Wang Hou asked deliberately.
"Servant, your field book is still not allowed! Last time, Xiaguan passed by Erxian Village in Hedong, and the land there belonged to the Han nationality according to the farmers, and the land of Dongshan Wagangzhai was not on this account book! β
"Oh! The commander didn't know that the tenant slaves were talking about this Korean tribe was not the other Korean tribe! The 3,000 acres of land in Erxianzhuang belong to the Anwentang Han family, while the 5,000 acres of mountain fields in Wagangzhai belong to the Chongwentang Han family. Not one! β
At the mention of this, the servant Han Rong was really proud to brush his mouse beard.
This Wuyang Han clan was reluctant to annex the tens of thousands of lands that had been overworked with great difficulty, but they didn't want to have a bad reputation for being disloyal to the king, so they returned to Wuyang, and a group of old men of the sub-clan had a headache for several days, and they came up with this clever plan.
Separation!
Each clan built a family temple separately, and split the huge Wuyang Han clan with tens of thousands of people into six major sects, each of which set up its own door, these lands still belong to the Han surname, but the land of the clan is indeed only 15,000 acres of paddy fields left, and now, even if he Wang Hou can't find fault.
However, looking at Han Rong's triumphant smile, Wang Hou couldn't help but sneer in his heart, this Han Rong seems to be a good move, but in fact he is stupidly tight! There is no need to look backwards and lessons, look forward for more than 200 years, don't you see how Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Tui'en order tore apart the vassal states surnamed Liu in various places that were enough to confront the central power! Now the big guys are still together and are all relatives and happy, the courtyard walls are separated, the land rent, filial piety, the future of being an official is even since the ancestors are busy, sooner or later the contradiction has to be stimulated, no way, human nature is like this, even if the saints are selfish, let alone these hypocrites! β
Even so, Wang Hou didn't plan to wait for this contradiction to break out sooner or later, and he hit his own gun, and now if he didn't sow discord with them, the seven aunts and eight aunts wept and wiped their tears and scolded each other across the wall every day, he would be sorry for the Tao that the Han family secretly drew for him.
almost slept with the fiancΓ©e of Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was one Lu Er, Zhao Sandianwei, and it was exciting to think about it!
Closing the field book with a bang, Wang Hou nodded with a smile: "Mrs. Han really deserves to be one of the nine Qings, he is highly respected, and the land at home is not hidden in the slightest, but Wang has the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman!" I hope that the servant will bear with me! Cao Yuanjun, when you go back this time, you must list the Wuyang Han clan as a top-grade clan! β
"It's easy to say, everyone is here to support the Han family and serve His Majesty, Wang Lingguan is so loyal to his duties, but it makes my generation ashamed!"
The mouth was happy, and it was rare for the servant Han Rong to also talk about the scene.
However, before his smile fell, Wang Hou's next sentence made his expression freeze there.
"Last time, it was Wang who did not do well! When I came to Wuyang, I didn't even know about the Anwentang Han and Chongwentang Koreans, and this time Wang Mouyi measured the land of these clans together to report the Taicang autumn tax!
What does it mean to take care of one or the other, Han Rongguang thought about dealing with the total number of acres of land, but he forgot that even if the acres of land were divided, they had to be measured, and in this way, the rest of the families also lost the golden umbrella of the Wuyang Han family, and in the ugly faces of the remaining clan elders who were divided, Wang Hou actually added fuel to the fire, and shook his sleeves fiercely.
"This time, the officials will investigate no matter how big or small, so that not a single acre of land will slip through the net, and let the entire Wuyang learn from the honest and honest family style of Mrs. Han, what do you think?"
What else can Lao Tzu think? His face couldn't stop trembling, but Han Rong had to force a smile, and he couldn't stop nodding sadly.
"That's exactly how it should be! That's exactly how it should be! β
But that's not all! With a row of heads, Wang Hou asked as hurriedly as if he had just woken up from a dream: "By the way, Mrs. Han, you are a native of Wuyang, what kind of character has this Anwentang Han clan ever had?" Have you served in the positions of three princes, nine secretaries and other positions? Or a noble person? β
The darkness of human nature was vividly displayed at this moment, and for the first time, Han Rong was thinking about the interests of his own family, and he shook his head almost subconsciously and firmly.
"I haven't heard of it!"
"Cao Yuanjun, Wuyang Anwentang Han clan, inferior clan!"
Seeing that Cao Hongjie really took out a small notebook and recorded it, the old face of Han Yun, the old man of the Han family, who greeted him, was as wonderful as drinking Wang Hou's biogas fertilizer, but this is not over! Wang Hou was angry again, and raised his head again and asked.
"Then what outstanding characters have come out of this Wuyang Chongwentang Han clan?"
This time, it was the turn of the clan elder Han Cheng on the other side to be nervous, his eyes were like lightning, and he almost stared at Han Rong, the servant sitting on the main seat, as if he was about to stare out.
At this time, he also realized how vicious Wang Hou's move was, but with difficulty, he stiffened his old face with difficulty, and he was in a stalemate for a few seconds, but Han Rong still shook his head very resolutely.
"I haven't heard of it!"
"Cao Yuanjun, the inferior clan!"
