It was almost afternoon, Liu Hongjian had already forgotten about Lao Fang's illness, he was still thinking about the situation in Meng County, half a day had passed, and there was no news from Meng County, which made Liu Hong gradually mutter.

Could it be that there is more silver? The so-called imperial merchants have not yet made a fortune? Or do they cherish their wealth as much as their lives, and are they reluctant to exchange silver for their sons? That's crazy, isn't it?

"Uncle! Uncle is available? While he was thinking, there was a shout outside.

The north room is Liu Hongji's residence, Liu Hongjian is in an important position, this is a place of right and wrong, without Liu Hongji's permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit at will.

Although Niu Dabang knew that the person in front of him was the son of the county order, he still refused to let go, and the anxious Xiao Fang shouted outside the courtyard.

Liu Hong gradually let go of the things in his heart, got up and walked towards the outer courtyard.

"Oh? Does it work so quickly? Let's go and have a look! ”

Liu Hongjian was also very happy, not because he wanted to see the old prescription, but because he wanted to confirm the efficacy of modern medicine for this cold disease.

There are many rich old nobles in the capital, and seeing that winter is coming, many people are crying and lamenting that they will not be able to survive this cold winter.

Although Xungui's family has a lot of property, and there is a charcoal fire at home to keep warm in the winter, what he is most afraid of is going out to get cold and catch the cold.

It's better to be younger, but if you're old, even if you have a lot of money, you still have to go to the ghost gate.

If this white and black really works like this, when you return to the capital, it will be another way to get rich.

Well, a box sells it for 10,000 taels, no, no, no, it has to be sold by the piece......

As he walked, Liu Hongjian thought maliciously.

"Xiaguan to meet Uncle, Uncle Xie's life-saving grace!" Although Fang Xianling's body was still very weak, he still insisted on getting up and getting out of bed to thank Liu Hongji.

Fang Jingzi supported his old father, and wanted to kneel down to salute Liu Hong.

"Old Fang, please get up, some little things, they are all old acquaintances, why are you so polite!" The old man was almost seventy years old, and he couldn't afford the gift of an old man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them.

"Yesterday, the old man had a premonition that the end was approaching, thanks to the uncle's miracle medicine, the old man can drink wine for a few more years!" The old man lay back on the bed with Fang Jingzi's support, looking weak, and didn't forget to make a joke.

"Wine, Fang Xianling is old, it's better to drink less!

Can you give your father the medicine? Liu Hong gradually asked Fang Jingzi.

"Uncle Hui, according to your orders, I have already smashed two more black pills for my father! I've just taken it! Fang Jingzi hurriedly replied.

"Well, that's good, but since Fang County's order is already sober, there is no need to mash it and take it, just drink it with warm water, mash it, isn't it bitter?"

When he was a child, Liu Hong gradually caught a cold and fever, and would rather take injections and infusions than take medicine, for the simple reason that the medicine was too bitter.

"Hehe, Uncle said it was funny, this is a life-saving medicine, don't say it's bitter, no matter how hard it is, the old man can drink it, besides, how can this pill be as bad as the decoction in the old man two days ago?"

In ancient times, as long as you were sick, whether it was a cold or fever, or a headache and stomach ache, you would always boil a decoction and drink it, a large casserole of water, add a bunch of various medicinal materials, and boil it for two hours.

It wasn't until the water in a large casserole pot boiled into half a bowl that it was finished, and the black whirring soup tasted as you could imagine!

"Well, the old county commander should rest at home, take that black pill and sleep for one night, Ben promises, you will be alive again tomorrow morning!"

After verifying the efficacy of white and black, Liu Hongjian was also extremely happy, and even wanted to leave the stall at the border and go back to Beijing to earn money.

"Oh yes, your son is not too young, I don't know where he is now?" Liu Hong suddenly came to such a sentence.

"Alas, don't hide it from my uncle, my son has tried the exam several times, and he has repeatedly failed, and he is still a sour talent.

It's all to blame for the old man's failure to discipline him well since he was a child, and let him get into bad habits......" The old county commander whispered while lying on the bed.

"Father......" Fang Jingzi is in his thirties, and it is a little embarrassing to be complained by his old father like this.

"You still don't let your father say, look at that backyard, it's all turned into a carpenter's shop by you!" was interrupted by his son, and the old party became angry directly.

"Uncle, don't you know, my son has not learned since he was a child, he doesn't like to read the books of sages, he loves to tinker with the work of those lowly carpenters, and all the strange things in the backyard are all made up by him.

You're still embarrassed! Tell me about you, now you are in your thirties, and you haven't even given a daughter-in-law to marry your father. Cough...... Cough...... Ahem......"

Speaking of his son's vices, the old man was angry, and when he said that later, the old man didn't come up in one breath and coughed non-stop.

"The father is not angry, the son knows that he is wrong, as long as the father's illness can be cured, the son ...... The son abandoned the job! In front of Liu Hongji, Fang Xing's words made Fang Jingzi ashamed.

Carpenter? This Xiaofang still has this hobby, Liu Hong gradually can't help but think of the famous carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen's brother Zhu Youxiao.

In all fairness, Zhu Youxiao's carpenter work is still very good, and later generations heard that the carpentry level of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not below Lu Ban.

Emperor Apocalypse once asked the eunuch to take out his works outside the palace to sell, almost all of them were bought by people who knew the goods with a lot of money, in addition to carpentry, Emperor Apocalypse was also good at carving, what wood carving, jade carving have reached the point of perfection.

Master Zhu's works are of great artistic value with a variety of ship models, furniture, lacquerware, inkstones, combs, etc., and it is said that he once built a miniature miniature palace, which is four feet high, exquisite, ingenious, and ingenious.

Zhu Youxiao is illiterate, not so much that he is an emperor, but that he is a living "Luban" who has been delayed by the emperor's career.

"There's nothing wrong with loving being a carpenter! Lao Fang, you are really, do you know three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion? Liu Hong gradually laughed.

Liu Hong suddenly had a bold idea, and with a turn of thought, he reached out and took out a stack of drawings from his arms and handed them to Fang Jingzi, who was embarrassed on the side.

"Let's see if you can understand it, if you can make it, Uncle Ben will promise you a good future!" Liu Hong gradually straightened up.

What he had just taken out was the drawing of "Jenny's Spinning Machine" from the book "Fundamentals of Light Industry" that he had brought from the library.

As the beginning of the first industrial revolution in Europe, Jenny's spinning machine has increased the spinning capacity of the old spinning machine by eight times, and the efficiency has increased by more than ten times compared with the hand-spinning of Daming today.

The first Jenny spinning machine was made in 1764, one hundred and twenty years after the present day.

If you can make this thing out and open a textile factory or something, wouldn't it be difficult to earn the silver?

Fang Jingzi took the drawings and looked at them one by one, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, as if he was stunned.

Focus! It is the most important quality of a craftsman! Of course, Liu Hongjian knew this expression, and he didn't bother when he sat at the table.

"Uncle, if you are not mistaken, this thing should be used for spinning! It's just that it looks strange, and I've never seen it before.

However, this drawing is extremely detailed, as long as you give it time, it must be ...... Well, under the guarantee that it can be made! ”

Fang Jingzi carefully looked at the drawings and said with great certainty.

"Okay, Ben Bo also counts, if Brother Fang can build this spinning machine, Ben Bo will be rewarded, and then your father will also open his eyes, and there is a future for being a carpenter!"

After speaking, Liu Hong gradually looked at Lao Fang and found that Lao Fang was still asleep, this ate white and black, and he slept really peacefully!

Before Liu Hong could explain something more, the flat-headed brother Chen Mingyu came in from outside.

"My lord, there's news from Meng County!"
