Chapter 35 The Unscrupulous Boy

After Su Zhidao said the purpose of the Su family, Mao Geng understood the whole story.

Nowadays, merchants from other places have come here, of course, not only for wax paper. Since we came to Baixi, the blackboard chalk that Mr. Kang invented is also definitely not to be missed. The blackboard can be made by home, but the chalk must be bought. In this way, the chalk market has also risen. Unfortunately, the Su family has lost cement as a key auxiliary material. Faced with the hot market, Su Zhidao, who was responsible for making chalk, was helpless and had to report to Mr. Su that the original owner of the West Chamber should help.

Given that the situation has eased, and the matter of Mao Geng Wenyuan on the official side has become a minor matter, Su Yuanwai allowed Su Zhidao to come and find Mao Geng to find a way.

Mao Geng originally planned to cooperate with the Su family in firing cement. This was what he had promised Su Zhiyi before. He did not refuse now and agreed to Su Zhidao happily, asking Su Zhidao to stay here for a few days until he mastered the method of firing cement.

When Su Zhidao talked to Mao Geng, Su Zhiyan stood aside, looking cold and arrogant, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. Mao Geng sighed in his heart, not knowing why Su Zhiyan came here, and it seemed that the Su family didn't need to use the beauty trick.

Su Zhiyan did not delay much at the workshop, and went to Fuguoxi with Fuguogang. The Su family and Fuguo family were close to each other, so it was normal for Su Zhiyan to visit Fuguoxi. However, Su Zhiyan came abruptly this time, and it was probably not as simple as visiting Fuguoxi. Could it be that he was visiting the ashworms, or did he have to see the wax flowers all over the trees? However, Mao Geng was plagued by things, so he didn't think too much about Su Zhiyan's affairs.

During this period, Mao Geng's workshop added a new bamboo building and bamboo shed. The upgraded mimeograph has been successfully trial-made. This new machine not only improves its functions, but also has greatly improved its workmanship and appearance. Its grade is no longer the same as the first generation mimeograph. In addition to Mao Geng's efforts in design, the success of this new machine also contributes to the superb craftsmanship of Tan Chengzhu and his son. The launch of the hydraulic circular saw and hydraulic lathe has greatly improved the production efficiency and production accuracy. The first batch of ten mimeographs have been successfully produced, and the next batch is batch feeding, with one hundred units at one time.

These are all processed according to the drawings designed by Mao Geng. Mao Geng stayed up all night these days, almost all night long, conceiving, drawing, and drawing pictures, and then teaching Tan Chengzhu and his son to recognize pictures and make them. Fortunately, Tan Chengzhu's youngest son Tan Qi had a very high understanding and soon learned to recognize pictures. The three views were handed over to Tan Qi first and explained them to his father and brother. On several occasions, Tan Qi also expressed his opinions on the design, and Mao Geng adopted two of them. Tan Qi was only sixteen years old, and after training, his future was limitless. Mao Geng was determined to cultivate Tan Qi well, and he would give more ideas whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Mao Geng no longer needs to worry too much about the mimeograph machine, but Mao Geng had too many things to do and had no choice but to postpone the crucible steelmaking and teach the Su family to burn cement first.

Fuguo Steel has mastered the method of coking. Since the crucible steelmaking is delayed, Mao Geng discussed with Fuguo Steel and asked him to go back and focus on coking first. After the coke is burned, he will use coke to make iron and add a centrifugal blower to improve the iron.

After Fu Guogang left with the two subordinates of the Fu family's ironmaking army, he made aside and let Su Zhidao and his two subordinates move in. Mao Geng organized on-site training on cement firing. According to Mao Geng's plan, one was to teach Su Zhidao to burn cement step by step, and the other was to burn one or two hundred kilograms of cement this time, so that Su Zhidao could take it back to make a batch of chalk. It is estimated that some merchants could not wait.

The most troublesome thing to burn cement is the crushing grinding powder. Mass production requires hydraulic machinery. Mao Geng thinks it is too early to use a crocodile crusher and water mill is the simplest. In addition, you can try to design a simple hydraulic ball mill to see if it can be made. As for centrifugal blowers, the centrifugal blowers made by the Tan family and his son are getting better and better. You only need to put some effort into changing the speed and increase the rotation speed by one level, and the blowing effect will be more perfect.

Tan Qi and the blacksmith Huang Wangcai were drawn by Mao Geng to make a water pestle, and then taught Su Zhidao and two of his men to build a slightly larger miniature standing kiln. Mao Geng did not have a moment of leisure throughout the afternoon.

In the evening, Fuzhen came to the workshop. Fuzhen and Tan Jixue did not need to make wax paper, and would come to the workshop from time to time. The two children would be surprised by the spiraling circular saws and flying wood chips. They were curious about the slow-turning large wheels that drove the small wheels to rotate rapidly. Mao Geng sometimes explained a few words. It was obvious that Tan Jixue had a better understanding.

Fuzhen spoke to Mao Geng with his ears, and then led Mao Geng to the bamboo forest.

Su Zhiyan had already been waiting in the bamboo forest. Su Zhiyan stood in the bamboo forest with a green green outfit, graceful and graceful addition to a bit of charm. Fuzhen walked to the edge of the bamboo forest and left tactfully, leaving only Mao Geng and Su Zhiyan in the bamboo forest.

Su Zhiyan walked deep into the bamboo forest again, and Mao Geng followed closely.

Walking deep into the bamboo forest, Su Zhiyan turned around and said:

"Brother Mao, I'll say a few words to you."

Mao Geng felt that the green bamboo forest was the best place to say love words. His heart was beating faster and he felt a fever in his face. He replied in a low voice:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Zhiyan handed over a stack of paper and said with some resentment:

"You wrote this article in "Baixi Academy"! Do you insist that Brother Feng was framed by you? Even if Brother Feng couldn't treat you, there was no need to write it like this. You can post it on it for many people to see it!"

When Mao Geng saw it, when did "Baixi Academy" appear again? Mao Geng read the article Su Zhiyan pointed to, but it was a jealous gossip story, which was an allusionary article about a certain person who used any means to frame his rival. At first glance, he was sensible and implicit, Feng Sanlang framed Mao Wen and the other two. No wonder Su Zhiyan suspected herself, but she didn't write it at all!

"I didn't write this." Mao Geng said with a verbal argument.

"Don't you admit it? Haha, Mother-in-law said a lot of good things about you, and my father and brother said you are kind, and I have to be kind to you! But the more Mother-in-law said you are kind, the more I feel that you are a liar. You don't have a word of truth, just tell lies. I ask you, you are clearly made by you, and the blackboard chalk was clearly made by you, and the wax paper was clearly made by you, so why did you say it was created by Mr. Kang! He also made Mr. Kang so amazing, what's the intention? Also, there were no gold or silver mines, why did you spread rumors! After you arrived in Baixi, you told a few truths! You are a person who lies, but there were not a few words of truth, how could I believe you!"

Su Zhiyan said it out loud, and this time it hit Mao Geng's pain point. She really made up her falsehood and lie again and again. Even her master made it up. Well, her identity is fake, but this thing she has traveled through time cannot be made public! Think about it, when she helped her mother-in-law in front of Su Zhiyan, she naturally had to focus on highlighting Mao Geng. It would be no wonder that she could tell the truth about the wax paper engraving and blackboard chalk. It could just show Mao Geng's talent to impress Su Zhiyan. But it would be fine if she didn't say it, but once she talked about it, she would become a lie and could not explain it clearly.

Mao Geng was very helpless, and he became an unscrupulous man in Su Zhiyan's eyes. It was so unfair! But he was so angry that he was so angry that he had to blame himself. He smiled bitterly:

"I really didn't write this article."

Su Zhiyan was obviously out of control and could not hear it. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, and she said a lot of words:

"Brother Feng is good to me, why are you going to fight again? I fight with Brother Feng, it's not your business, but why did I write that ruthless article to write Brother Feng as a despicable villain, which makes Feng Third Brother come to be a despicable villain now in Xinhua! Only I know that you are the one who is the treacherous person, but my father is interested in you, hum! I want to follow you, instead of being coaxed by you so that you can't tell the difference between the east, south and north, it's better to follow Brother Feng Third Brother. Although Brother Feng is not as good as you, he is really good to me, and it's not a false opinion."

When Su Zhiyan talked about her excitement, she seemed particularly aggrieved, so she just said it was refreshing:

"Our daughter's family, if you want to marry, you should marry a gentleman like Mr. Kang. They are affectionate and kind, and they are loyal and good men. They will never be distracted. If you lie, you will know how to deceive others. You are good to me now. Who knows what will happen in the future? By then, if you have three wives and four concubines, you will still have to ask for flowers and willows, and I can't stand it!"

Speaking of this, Su Zhiyan burst into tears, making Mao Geng feel pity, but she didn't know how to persuade him. Su Zhiyan raised her head, stared at Mao Geng with her eyes shining with tears, and said:

"Do you know that whatever I want, Fengsanlang will think of ways for me and will help me get it. And you spend half an hour to draw a painting for me! Woooo, woooooo, woooo----, what am I going to do!"

Yes, what do they want to do? Alas! Women are emotional animals, and their judgment is sometimes unbelievable. Even if they are bad men, they will be satisfied as long as they say sweet words to her. This is especially true for beautiful women! They are not the kind of person who is good at coaxing women to like them. Besides, they have indeed had the fault of hype and fraud when they come to the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, they became a liar who lies in Su Zhiyan's eyes. Thinking of this, Mao Geng was full of all kinds of thoughts. When he wanted to explain that this article might have been written by Wen Yuan or Zhang Haisan, he suddenly thought that Feng Sanlang was very revenge, and it would not be fun to take revenge on them at that time.

When Mao Geng saw Su Zhiyan's anger, he cried like a rainy pear blossom, and felt pity in his heart, but he really didn't know how to explain it, and he felt very depressed.

Suddenly, he felt the cold wind around him, and he felt that his four bodies were cold. In a trance, bamboos swayed in front of him. Mao Geng felt a dizzy turn, and he could no longer stand steadily, and he rushed to the ground and fainted.

Seeing this, Su Zhiyan didn't care at first, and said sarcastically:

"Does such a burly man pretend to be pitiful?"

But then he saw that Mao Geng blushed and his ears were hot, and his breathing was extremely rapid. He was panicked and quickly called:

"Someone is here, save people quickly."

After Tan Chengzhu brought people over, he carried Mao Geng to the bed and rushed to call Tan Xiuzhu to take his veins. He realized that Mao Geng was infected with the miasma poison. Mao Geng stayed up all night in this period and was tired. There were few people in the depths of the bamboo forest, and the miasma poison was very serious. Mao Geng walked in rashly and was infected with the miasma, and then he fell down.
