I heard Mao Geng’s tone, I was a little moved. I didn’t force my mother-in-law at the moment, but changed the topic:

"It's interesting to say that the Fu family had wanted to recruit Mao Geer as their son-in-law, but Lao Shi opposed it, so the Fu family did not come to join in the fun. Kang Lang and I intermarried Han Yao. In the eyes of the tribe, we were not happy. To be honest, the Yao family's women married Han people and did not live much good. After I said this, I gave up. Now it seems that Lao Shi is doing very well. Although the Fu family's daughter's family is also beautiful, it is much worse than the Zhiyan girl of the Su family."

When Mao Geng heard this, he didn't expect that this mother-in-law would also like gossip. He thought that there was nothing that happened between him and Su Zhiyan so far. It was clearly that Wen Yuan was gossiping again, so he had to smile bitterly:

"Help mother-in-law, Xiao Ke has only met that Su Zhiyan once, and there is no relationship between that."

Helping mother-in-law continue to carry forward the spirit of gossip:

"Brother Mao, our Yao family does not have so many rules. What kind of female commandments are like for men and women to receive and not be close to each other. There are so many things to pay attention to if the Yao family is not prosperous! If you like it, like it. If Brother Mao likes Su Zhiyan, you will always talk about it for you. With Brother Mao's talent, the Su family must be willing to do it."

Speaking of this, seeing Mao Geng seemingly hesitant, he sighed again and said sadly:

"Oh! A man from the Han family who studied like Brother Mao naturally wants to achieve fame and fortune. He is worried that marrying a barbarian woman will ruin his career. This is better understood by his old man than others. When Kang Lang was frustrated in the imperial examination, the Kang family blamed me for him. In fact, I am not willing to delay Kang Lang."

Mao Geng thought to himself that there was political review in the Song Dynasty! Moreover, political review was very strict! Does marrying a woman from the Yao family mean that political innocence is not clear! There are a lot of questions in my heart but I can't ask. In short, Mr. Kang and Mrs. Fu should have suffered various blows. But after talking about it, it seems that he is obviously obsessed with Su Zhiyan, but he is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, and is worried that he will miss his future, so he is hesitant here. What is this?

Stop it! The gossip topic ends here.

Mao Geng quickly changed the topic:

"I don't know what kind of industry is there for supporting my mother-in-law? Xiaoke may have an idea, but you have to know more about supporting my family's affairs so that you can come up with a way to deal with it." Since there are only two people talking, Mao Geng tried to control his speech speed. After thinking it through, his speech will naturally appear much smoother.

When the mother-in-law heard this, Mao Geng clearly had the intention of helping the family, so he roughly explained the business of the whole family.

It turns out that the Fu family has always been engaged in the procurement of medicinal materials. The Fu family is distributed in Xinhua and the surrounding areas. Most of them are in the mountainous areas. The mountains here are rich in various medicinal materials, so the Fu family is engaged in the procurement of medicinal materials. Although the takeaway only has crude medicinal materials and the selling price is not high, the winning is due to the large quantity and the profit is not bad. The Fu family relies on this business to support it, and its family business is also ranked first in Xinhua.

In order to manage medicinal materials, the Fu family also has a horse gang. Most of the families in the Fu family will raise some horses. When they go out to sell medicinal materials, they form horse teams and form horse teams. Mao Geng thought, the Fu family also operates its own logistics industry! The Dun family also has a horse team, and it seems that the Su family's horse team is quite large. What is puzzling is that if logistics is to be carried out in Xinhua, water transportation should be the first choice. However, Mao Geng just YY in his heart and did not express his doubts.

The Fu family was doing a good job in running the pharmaceutical industry, but Fu Guojin, the eldest brother of Fu Guojin, had the intention to keep pace with the times. He became excited and took over an iron smelting kiln the previous year. He spent a lot of money but lost a lot. When Mao Geng asked, he learned that the iron smelting kiln was used to burn charcoal and iron. After Fu Guojin, an outsider, took over, he used coal to smelter iron. The quality of pig iron produced here was much worse than before, and he lost a lot. Even the four younger brothers, Guoyin, Guogang, Guotik and Guotong, also paid for it. Only the sixth brother Guoxie raised ash waxworms in the mountains outside the Xinhua Territory to make a living to harvest ash wax, and then escaped the disaster.

After almost two years of hard work, Fujia resumed making iron with charcoal. Although the quality has improved greatly, it can no longer reach the quality of pig iron refined before taking over. Now the price of pig iron refined by Fujia Iron Kiln is still not good. In this way, except for the government collecting 20% ​​of pig iron as tax, it can be said that the profit is very small. In this way, Fujia Iron Kiln is almost a waste of money, and it is a pity to throw it away, and it is tasteless to chew it.

After seeing the micro-cement kiln created by Mao Geng, Mr. Kang told him about this matter, and afterwards, Mr. Kang was a scholar after all, and immediately thought that maybe Mao Geng could help Fu's family.

When Fu Mother-in-law was young, she was nearly 60 years old and still had a clear ear and eye. These days, she kept silently paying attention. Mao Wen and the other two did not fall behind. After witnessing the mud turning into stones and peeping at Mao Geng teaching with blackboard chalk, Fu Mother-in-law made up her mind and came to find Mao Geng to help the family.

After listening to the introduction of the mother-in-law, Mao Gengxin said that this mother-in-law is really a person who is interested! I wonder if it was because the Baixi official studies were too dull. Driven by the strong gossip, this mother-in-law never let go of the words and deeds of the boys and girls in Baixi official studies. What a professional paparazzi spirit to achieve this! Has this mother-in-law practiced the ultimate light skills? Why didn’t I realize anything before? It’s a pity that I still thought I did a good job of keeping confidentiality, alas! In front of a master like the mother-in-law, the little trick I rely on can only make me lose my vigor!

After sighing, Mao Geng felt that solving the problem of Fu Family was not difficult. The reason was very simple. Coal contains high sulfur and charcoal does not contain sulfur. The pig iron made of coal contains too high sulfur. Not only has pores, but also brittle, so it is naturally not as good as charcoal iron. The solution is to use coke to make iron, and of course, coking must also be tested. In addition, pig iron is weak, should you consider making steel!

Mao Geng had a handful of information and had a solution, so he felt confident that he had increased, so he said confidently:

"Master Xiaoke once taught me how to smelify iron and what is going on - that's easy to say. When Xiaoke has figured out the rules, I'll discuss it with my mother-in-law at that time?"

Mao Geng remembered that he suffered repeated losses in business negotiations in his previous life. This matter must be negotiated by the strong-skinned Wenyuan. Well, it is good for Wenyuan to be an agent.

The mother-in-law was very satisfied when she heard this, nodded and was about to say goodbye and leave, suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Brother Mao, is this really the case that you and Brother Wen told the woman of the Dun family about the gold and silver mines?"

Mao Geng had known that he would ask this question for a long time, and he would never be vague at the moment:

"This is based on the scattered records of the family master. Xiaoke thinks it is not groundless. As long as you can find the gray-black one-glowing stone, this matter is probably true."

Mao Geng's tone was very certain, but he left room for words. He didn't know if the mother-in-law Fu and Mr. Kang would believe it. But it was enough to have this rumor. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not.

Mother-in-law nodded slightly, as if she felt something was wrong with doubting Mao Geng's wise master, so she no longer got entangled in this matter. Mao Geng understood that when a person becomes a savvy, Mr. Kang was afraid that Mr. Kang might not be so easy to fool.

Mother-in-law talked about another thing:

"Whether you are old or you, Kang Bo, you are optimistic about you, so the Fu family sent the disciples from Baixi Guanxue this time. I am afraid there are as many as twenty people. I ask Brother Mao to take care of the Fu family's children at that time. OK?"

Mao Geng was a little confused when he heard this. The Fu family members were going to come, and there were the Su family, the Dun family, the Feng family, etc., which would have been more than a hundred in total! This was really beyond his own expectations. According to Mr. He, in previous years, there were only more than twenty students in Baixi official school, and there were probably not many more this year.

"So many?" The numbers are indeed a bit shocking. When did Yao people love reading so much?

Mother-in-law smiled and said:

"I heard that other families will not be short of people. Your method of writing white words on the blackboard will be of great use at that time."

After helping his mother-in-law, Mao Geng was a little stunned for a moment. This time, he was happy and sad again. He was happy that he came to seek cooperation on his own initiative, which was a good sign. He was worried that he might become the main force of Baixi official school. If one hundred people came, the pressure on teaching would suddenly increase, but what should he do?

That night, Mao Geng couldn't sleep all night.

What I thought about in the first half of the night was what conditions should be offered to cooperate with Fu Family.

What I thought in the second half of the night was that I was going to face a hundred students, and I couldn’t lose my basic sense of responsibility! For more than twenty students, calculating is not the key point, and I don’t even need to compile textbooks, but students with a hundred numbers have to write textbooks. However, it is absolutely too late to print, and copying more than one hundred textbooks is definitely not an easy task.

It was the third update that I fell asleep in a daze. But when I had something to do, I couldn't sleep well and woke up early in the morning.

Suddenly I remembered that the mother-in-law mentioned the white wax, and I had it! How could I forget about printing wax paper? It doesn’t matter if there is no lead printing. Wax paper is necessary to make it. This wax paper is cheap and can deal with it quickly. Once it is made, it will definitely become a powerful tool to kill everyone in the Song Dynasty.

Speaking of which, the wax paper was engraved, the underground party in later generations used it, the Red Guards used it, the teachers used it, the cadres used it, the educated youth used it, and the literary youth used it - before the 1990s, it was the supreme weapon of killing and setting fires at home.

It turns out that I only focus on the lead type printing. In fact, even if I find the radiantimony ore to refine antimony, I still have to carve out the template and cast it out the lead type, and then create the printing ink and the printing press. All of this is still a long way. And wax paper engraving can be achieved very simply.

Even in the 1980s, computer printing was far from popular, and various massive test papers were still the credit for wax paper printing. Mao Geng engraved countless wax paper in his previous life. Haha, wax paper engraving has no technical content. In the Song Dynasty, this could be found.

Mao Geng felt that with wax paper, in addition to using wax paper to engrave and print textbooks, he also expanded a huge space for himself to play.

In Mao Geng's mind, there was a gradually clear idea that was sprouting and forming. His eloquence was limited, and even if he practiced hard, he could not be eloquent. At most, it would be good to behave properly. However, he had read countless novels and could not write them. Well, don't say it so badly, it's the editorial? Think about the Chinese people in later generations. Basically, every man has a Jin Yong version of the martial arts dream, and every woman has a Qiong Yao version of the love dream, which is all misled by the black words printed on paper.

In this era, novels are still a slender bud, and their readability is not worth mentioning. Once a girl like Su Zhiyan reads the story of Aunt Qiong Yao, she believes that she will not be immune.
