Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong took a serious look at Liu Cainiang's figure and then at himself. After thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea of ​​beating him up - even if the other party was a woman, he wanted to roll up his sleeves at this moment.

It's a pity that he probably won't be able to beat the opponent, so the best way to get rid of the embarrassment is to change the subject as soon as possible.

Xiao Zirong stood up and said, "Okay, let's stop chatting, let's talk, can this thing be promoted?"

Seeing Xiao Zirong's helpless expression, Liu Cainiang couldn't help but want to laugh. She walked over and said, "Promotion? It's a bit difficult."

"Huh?" Xiao Zirong frowned slightly: "Is this not easy to use?"

Liu Cainiang explained: "It's easy to use, but it's too complicated. Even if it took you nearly ten days to make it, how can everyone have the time to make a plow? And I want everyone to have one. How much wood would it cost? We can't get so much wood now."

Xiao Zirong was silent for a while, he didn't know how to tell Liu Cainiang that it took him so long to make Quyuanli purely because he was born by hand.

Oh, no, it should be said that it is purely because he doesn't know how to do it, he has never been familiar with it at all!

Timber is indeed a problem. In addition to the laborious felling, there is also the problem of transportation.

Xiao Zirong previously specifically stipulated that trees should not be cut down on the hills near the city, because he was worried about soil erosion, so generally everyone would go farther away when they needed wood.

He thought for a while and said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Let everyone put down the things at hand. There are still several months before the time for planting. Let's do this first. Well, it's not compulsory. You can do it." Use wood and finished parts to exchange for points, and then use the points to exchange for the whole Quyuan plow.”

The autumn harvest time in the south is generally relatively late, the further south you go, the later. In the north, the autumn harvest is usually around August [-]th, but here it is a little later, about the same in September, and it will be later if you go further south.

Calculated in this way, there is still some time to make Quyuanli, not to mention that everyone can use it, at least most people can use it.

Just now, Liu Cainiang just casually mentioned difficulties. After this period of time, everyone found that once Xiao Zirong insisted on doing things, as long as he followed them, he would definitely gain something in the end.

In order to make everyone realize the importance of advanced production tools, Xiao Zirong called everyone over and asked Liu Cainiang to demonstrate the use of Quyuanli.

Even if you don’t try it yourself, you can see that compared with the traditional plow, Quyuanli is smaller, which means it will be lighter. In the process of Liu Cainiang’s use, Quyuanli’s flexible U-turn and turning have amazed many people. .

Anyone who has cultivated the land will naturally see how useful the Quyuan plow is compared to ordinary plows.

Of course, even if it is easy to use, there will be people who don't want to change, or feel that they are not sure about wasting time and don't want to do it.

Xiao Zirong didn't force it, but asked Bai Yan to register the number of people who wanted to exchange points for Qu Yuanli, and then made Qu Yuanli according to the number of people.

Although some people were unwilling to exchange for Qu Yuanli, but when Xiao Zirong asked them to exchange points with wood or finished parts, they were extremely active.

After all, as long as people who are not stupid can see that in the future, points are equivalent to money and can be exchanged for everything.

Xiao Zirong also spread the news that salt may be exchanged for some supplies in the future. As long as you have points, you can exchange everything.

Of course, if you don't have so many points, you can also barter in the future, but he didn't open this hole now, because it is not easy to achieve a balanced exchange state whether it is points or barter.

Now even Xiao Zirong is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

But it is precisely because of this news that everyone is very motivated.

It has to be said that there is a salt factory in the resident that can stably produce salt, which can be said to stabilize people's hearts.

Otherwise, life here is so hard, maybe someone wants to be born to find someone to marry, no matter how hard it is, it won't be worse than it is now.

However, compared to marrying someone purely by luck, life today can visibly get better, as long as you work hard and have patience.

Liu Cainiang once said that the most difficult thing to make Quyuanli is the acquisition of wood, but in Xiao Zirong's view, the production is actually more problematic.

If he wanted to provide large quantities of Quyuanli, he would definitely not be able to do it alone. He had to ask others to do it. But if he asked others to do it, he would have to convert the weights and measures used in the previous drawings into the existing weights and measures.

This caused Xiao Zirong a lot of headaches, because if the weights and measures of later generations are converted to the current weights and measures, there will be decimal points and the like, but if Qu Yuanli wants to use it for a long time, the mortise and tenon must be perfectly fitted.

This led Xiao Zirong to make a blueprint again with the existing weights and measures.

After finishing it, he started recruiting people.

The points are calculated according to the parts produced. The more complex the work, the higher the points. However, the production time of complex things is correspondingly longer, so there is a trade-off.

At first, Xiao Zirong thought that those complicated parts might be tried because of the high points, but after trying for the first time, most people would probably replace them with simple parts. Although the points are low, the number of pieces produced in the same time is more , but can get higher points.

Because there is a limit to the number of curved shaft plows that need to be made, there are also limits to the number of those simple components.

In order to have room for replacement, Xiao Zirong specially made ten more Quyuanli. He reckoned that the small parts would be finished at the beginning.

As a result, when the wood was almost ready, Xiao Zirong went to A Yin and A Man who were in charge of delivering the tasks for a walk, and was surprised to find that the first to be received was the large parts!

Xiao Zirong looked at the collection records very curiously, and after a closer look, he found that most of these large parts were taken away by the three sisters.

A Yin looked up at Xiao Zirong and said: "They said, when they are all finished, if there are still parts left, they will come and try to make small parts."

Xiao Zirong was a little surprised. One had to know that according to the number of Quyuanli needed in the records plus the ten extra ones made, the total number of Quyuanli needed reached thirty.

It sounds like their proportion is not too high compared to their number, but many of them have two or three people in each household, and each household has one aircraft.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Zirong ran to the house of the three sisters to ask if they were making trouble.

Before he went, he looked at the household registration records, and there were only three sisters whose surnames were Zhai. The eldest, Zhai Xi, was 29 years old, and the remaining two younger sisters were Zhai Ling, 25, and Zhai Wei, 15. There was a huge age gap. big.

And the three of them have names, not the names given by Xiao Zirong when they established their household registration later.

Because the house has not started yet, the three sisters simply found an open space to put the wood they brought on the ground, and then carefully covered it with leaves to avoid exposure to the sun or rain.

When Xiao Zirong passed by, he happened to hear that Zhai Xi was assigning tasks neatly, and Zhai Ling and Zhai Wei obediently did their jobs.

Xiao Zirong stood by and watched for a long time, and found that the three sisters really had something in their hands.

In this resident, most of the young ladies are quick-witted and know everything, and Xiao Zirong is the most inattentive.

Even Bai Yan with a good background is better than him. After all, when she was in Yang Wu's hands, Bai Yan also suffered a lot and learned a lot.

But the flexibility of the three sisters of the Zhai family is different from others. Xiao Zirong doesn't know how to describe it, as if the three sisters were born to be carpenters.

For comparison, he went to look at other young ladies, and then found that although other young ladies did things very quickly, they always took some detours when they first started. It takes a little familiarization with the steps.

After reading it, Xiao Zirong went to see the three sisters of the Zhai family, and found that these three people did not read the tutorials he wrote at all, but devoted themselves to doing it by themselves, but they did it very well, with fast and steady hands.

After looking at it for a while, he found that the steps the other party did were completely different from what he wrote, as if many steps had been simplified.

Xiao Zirong was a little curious and couldn't help walking closer.

After Zhai Xi found out, he immediately put down what he was doing and stood up to salute: "City Lord."

When Zhai Xi saluted, her two younger sisters also stood up.

Xiao Zirong waved his hand: "How many times have I said that there is no need to be so polite."

Zhai Xi pursed his lips and said with a smile: "How can I do that? Courtesy cannot be broken."

Xiao Zirong couldn't help laughing: "Who taught you this?"

Although he said so, he didn't bother with this issue too much. He originally meant that everyone had the same starting point, and he took the lead just because he knew a little more.

But Liu Cainiang and the others seemed to feel that there was still a distinction between superiority and inferiority, and neither of the two sides could persuade the other. In the end, Xiao Zirong felt that he should follow the Romans, so he simply let them go.

Zhai Xi didn't have much contact with Xiao Zirong, these little ladies usually had more contact with him than Liu Cainiang, Ayin, Aman and the newcomer Bai Yan.

Afterwards, everyone summed it up and thought that only those who can read well can enter the eyes of the city lord.

But in this world, there are many people who study hard but can't learn well. The three sisters of the Zhai family are like this.

They are not too slow to read, but they are not very good at reading, and they feel that they are not very enlightened.

Zhai Xi looked at Xiao Zirong nervously and asked, "Does the city lord think we're doing something wrong?"

In fact, Zhai Xi is also very aware that the way they do it is different from what the city lord gave. Originally, he thought that no matter what method he used, he just had to make it, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the city lord.

She was very worried that the city lord would be unhappy because of this matter, but Xiao Zirong waved his hand, and squatted down to look at what they made and praised: "You guys did a good job. I took a look and it was better than what I used. The steps are much simpler, why? Have you learned it before?"

Zhai Xi's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Our father used to be a carpenter, we learned a little bit from him."

Xiao Zirong was a little surprised: "Are all carpenters so good now?"

Zhai Xi hesitated and said, "Father...he is not an ordinary carpenter."

When Xiao Zirong saw her expression, he instantly woke up. Liu Cainiang and Bai Yan seemed to have the same expression when they talked about their backgrounds. He couldn't help asking: "Is there any inheritance in your family?"

Zhai Xi glanced at the two younger sisters, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Does the city lord know about the Mohist organization?"
