The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Do you dare to cheat again in the future?" Wang Kang asked.

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare again!" the old man said hurriedly.

"get out!"

"what!"

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get lost?" Wang Kang said lightly.

"You let me go?" the old man asked in surprise.

"Why do you really want to eat this pot of charcoal fire?"

"No, no," the old man shook his head busy.

Wang Kang turned around and was about to leave, but he ignored him. A charlatan can't do much, and at such an old age, he can't be sent to the iron mine, let's dig!

The old Taoist was overjoyed at first, but then hesitant. After a while, he gritted his teeth and followed Wang Kang.

"What?" Wang Kang asked suspiciously.

"I want to follow you, Master Kang!" The old man said in a deep voice.

"You...follow me?" Wang Kang was surprised, even the people beside him.

"Looking at your face full of heaven, the purple energy rising above your head, and the auspicious clouds surrounding you, I think you are the reincarnation of a great god, no, you are a god." The old Taoist grinned and said hurriedly.

"speak English."

"Well, I don't want to fool around anymore...I want to follow you and do things for you."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Wang Kang became interested.

"If you want to follow me, you can, but you have to tell me first, what can you do for me?"

"I know astrology and fortune-telling, and palm reading..." Seeing Wang Kang's face getting colder and colder, the old man immediately shut up and couldn't continue.

"Let me ask you, how did you know how to write paper with vinegar and then bake it with fire to reveal it?"

"I researched it myself!" The old man hurriedly said, "Not only do I know this, but I also know other things..."

"Okay, I'll keep you." Wang Kang said, since he has research talent in this area, this old Taoist priest might really be able to help him...

[Author's digression]: The third update, let's make a preview, it will break out tomorrow, four updates for the base, and five updates for more, don't ask me why, just do it, and vote for it

Chapter 2 Sixteen - Slapped in the Face Again

"Really?" Hearing Wang Kang's answer, the old Taoist asked in surprise.

He has been in this industry for many years. Although he is a swindler, he has also traveled the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he can be regarded as well-informed.

Just now he was indeed intimidated by Wang Kang, with such bold words and temperament that no one can match him.

And he really didn't want to wander around, so he came up with the idea of ​​following Wang Kang.

"En." Wang Kang nodded.

"Then what do you want me to do?" The old man said excitedly, "As long as you tell me, the old man will have nothing to say!"

"Do you want me to cheat Dong Yiwu backhand? His son, who seems to be called Dong Qian, seems to believe in the theory of fate."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Wang Kang laughed, this old Taoist is really interesting, he shook his head and said: "This is not necessary, and I am afraid you will have to take off this Taoist robe in the future."

"Take off the Taoist robe?" The old Taoist was surprised, and then said directly: "Just take it off, what do you say?"

"But let me know, what should I do?"

"This is much better than being a Taoist priest." Seeing that the old Taoist was even more confused, Wang Kang said with a smile: "Let you be a scientific researcher!"

"Scientists? What is this?"

"Then I will explain to you." Wang Kang said.

He had this plan when he accepted the old man, and asked him to do some experiments. Wang Kang had the formula for many things, but he didn't have time to study them.

For example, the materials that are not available in this era, and what should be used instead, all require experiments to find out.

Lao Dao has experience in this area and is indeed the best candidate.

However, I can't take care of these now. The most important thing now is to build the hearth furnace.

Seeing that this place has stepped into the right direction, and people are full of energy, Wang Kang went to the hearth furnace.

When he got here, Wang Kang discovered that the three Li Zheng and others invited from the Metallurgical Bureau were busy with their craftsmen.

Huh?what's going on?

Wang Kang was a little confused, there was a bet between them, and these people were not optimistic about him.

Before, he watched with cold eyes and even made fun of him from time to time. How did this change his nature?

Seeing Wang Kang coming, Li Zheng and the others felt a little unnatural, but Wang Fuchen said: "We just want to help you finish this, so that you can give up as soon as possible!"

"Don't waste your time,"

"Yes! It's a waste of manpower!"

The other two joined in.

Wang Kang secretly smiled, knowing it well, and said: "Then thank you all masters."

With the addition of Li Zheng and others, the efficiency has really improved a lot, especially the craftsmen they brought with them are all professional staff from the Metallurgical Bureau, and they work very neatly.

According to this, I am afraid that it will take less than two days for the first set of hearth furnaces to be successfully built.

The crisis on Wang Kang's side has been lifted and everything is going well, but at the Governor's Mansion, a celebration banquet has already begun.

"Ha ha,"

On the wine table, Zheng Qigong laughed and said: "After this, the road construction on Wang Kang's side will be abolished, not only that, the people will be in chaos, and the people's hearts will be lost!"

"We came back early, we should have seen this meeting, to see how the scene was messed up!"

Yu Xingye waved his hand and said, "It's meaningless to read on, because the result is already doomed!"

"This move is a drastic move. It is most appropriate to use the legend of the mountain god to confuse the people!"
