Chapter 24

Hua Mu was enthusiastically dragged to the village by a group of children. It was already a busy farming holiday, so the children in the village were jumping around.After Hua Mu left, the village invited an old scholar who had given up the scientific examination to be his master. Although he was a bit rigid, he had a good temper and was very strict with the children.Of course, compared to Hua Mu's random teaching method combined with stories and practical examples, these children must have great opinions on the old master.However, these children still abide by the etiquette of respecting the teacher, so they will not speak ill of the master, but just keep pouring out their love for Hua Mu.

"It seems that Mr. Hua is still a kind teacher. There are very few students and teachers who are so close." Xuanyuan Yun laughed.

"I'll just teach it casually. Naturally, it's not as strict as the masters. These children can get close to whoever they are when they are happy." Hua Mu also smiled. In fact, he really likes children.Especially after staying in the capital for a long time during this period, I suddenly saw these children getting close to me, and I liked it even more.There is no child in his family now, but looking at these children, he has the idea of ​​getting married and having children.

"Looking at these children, this king has the idea of ​​having a child." Xuanyuan Yun sighed. He actually considered many things about not wanting a child. One is that the princess died early. On the one hand, he caused his early death; on the other hand, he was worried that Xuanyuanpu would lose the competition for that position in the end, which would harm his wife and children.

"The prince has no heirs yet?" Hua Mu was surprised. In this era, men from rich and noble families have wives and children in groups, let alone a prince.

"Not yet."

The topic suddenly turned to a strange direction, and Hua Mu didn't know what to say at this time, comfort?What comfort is there, the glory is no longer still... ahem.Hua Mu looked at the sky, fortunately, he arrived at the village chief's house, and the village chief broke the embarrassment when he watched from a distance that the visitor had already come out.If Xuanyuan Yun knew that Hua Mu suspected that there was something wrong with his "ability", he didn't know how he would feel.

"Village chief, what are you going to do in the village chief? There are large sieves drying in every household." Hua Mu asked casually. There were flat large sieves with a diameter of about two meters drying in front of every house. The bottom is dense and not leaking, as if to do something.

"That's for sifting hidden grass and raising bran, isn't it going to be harvested soon?" said the village chief.

"Is there no windmill?" Hua Mu asked. The village head of this windmill was something he saw in the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Chinese Agricultural Tools" in the study in the laboratory.In ancient China, it was a utensil that appeared very early, and it was very useful for removing bran from broken rice.

"Windmill? What is that, like a waterwheel?" the village head asked with a little excitement. The things Hua Mu brought brought a lot of convenience to their lives.

"I'll go back and draw the blueprints. The biggest function of the windmill is to raise the bran." Hua Mu looked at everyone staring at him and replied, well, in fact, he doesn't remember the details of the windmill. Go back and get the study According to the painting.

"That's a good relationship!" The village head was happy.

"It seems that I should take Mr. Hua around, I'm not sure what new discoveries I can make." Xuanyuan Yun laughed,

"I don't dare bother Mr. Yun. If Mr. Yun thinks that I still have some knowledge, just allow me to walk around. If there is something that can help me, I will definitely not be stingy." Hua Mu replied.

"There are still a lot of things to trouble Mr. Hua in this capital. If I let Mr. Hua go wandering around the world like this, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry will hate me to death?" Xuanyuan Yun laughed, and now he and Hua Mu occasionally "gentle" "The bickering is still very pleasant.

"The masters in the Ministry of Industry all keep their duty, Mr. Yun must not slander them." Who dares to blatantly hate this prince?Moreover, Hua Mu felt that during this period of time, Xuanyuan Yun's aura became more and more obvious. It was better than when he first met, this person restrained his aura and gave anyone a harmless feeling.

"That used to be the case, but now I can't say for sure. Who asked Mr. Hua to hang up the blood of the craftsmen?" Xuanyuan Yun said. Old-fashioned craftsmen occasionally forget etiquette when discussing some tools.But Xuanyuan Yun is happy to see this, he will be more capable when he is so angry. Recently, the Ministry of Industry can be said to have exceeded his expectations, and he has also shined in the court.

"I can't afford this crime." Hua Mu replied.

The two chatted for a while, and Hua Mu asked the village chief about the current situation in the village. There was a kiln to be built and less glass, so some handymen were needed. Some people in the village took advantage of the slack to Time to help out, do odd jobs.Perhaps because of Hua Mu's relationship, the people who built the kiln over there also hired the village chief's part-time workers, and the treatment was pretty good.

Because I still have to go to see how the kiln is being built, so Hua Mu and the others didn't delay too much. Hua Mu sent the gifts to the few houses that had more traffic, and went to the kiln with Xuanyuan Yun. up.Because similar things have been built in Xuanyuan Kingdom for metal smelting, the kiln built is very suitable, and Hua Mu, as a layman, can't fault it.Xuanyuan Kingdom is too dependent on metal products, and there are many types of metals, many of which are not found on the earth. The metallurgical technology is even higher than the current level of the earth, so most of the utensils are made of metal.

"Master Yun, Mr. Hua." When the manager saw the people coming, he immediately came over to greet him.

"When will we be able to burn things here?" Xuanyuan Yun asked.

"We can start construction in just these two days, but we don't even know the proportion of this thing, and you have to host it." The manager said carefully. In the future, no one will be able to bear the responsibility.

"Hmph, after raising your group of people, there is no one who can do anything in the end. You rely on Mr. Hua for everything. What use do you need you?" Xuanyuan Yun said angrily, he knew the Huahua intestines inside. very.

"Young Master Yun is right, we are discussing with the craftsmen." The person in charge dared not say more.

"Since I'm here today, and this kiln just happens to be usable, maybe it's a chance for me to make meritorious service. Since I made this proposal, let me try my hand at the first kiln, and throw a brick to attract jade. The prince and Masters, please don't blame me to take credit." Hua Mu said with a smile, he also understands the reason, but the kiln has not opened fire until today, which should be the reason why those craftsmen have withdrawn.Hua Mu felt that no matter how much time was wasted, in the end, it might really be too late for the autumn festival, and no one would feel better about it!

"Mr. Hua, are you sure?" Xuanyuan Yun asked, he could find someone to be an abandoned child at will, but he was afraid of dampening the enthusiasm of these craftsmen.

"I can't be sure, I probably remember some of the ones I've seen before." Hua Mu stepped forward and said.

"Then trouble Mr. Hua." Xuanyuan Yun said solemnly, and the steward beside him was also slightly relieved.

Hua Mu went to the raw material warehouse and asked several workers to reconcile all the materials in proportion and send them to the kiln.He still remembers the material ratio of this glass, because it is very simple, but the raw materials here are not pure, especially containing some metal components. Most of the metals are colored after smelting, which definitely does not meet the colorless and transparent glass required by the National Teacher. utensils.

"The fire must be at a high temperature, and it looks like hemp gold." Hua Mu confessed that hemp gold is also a unique metal here. It is pure in a large amount. It is said to be metal, and its properties are more like ordinary stones , mainly used in construction, and even the roofs of most buildings in Xuanyuan Kingdom are made of this kind of special "tile" roof.

Hua Mu has also learned a lot about the metal refining process here these days, and secretly took out an industrial temperature tester from the laboratory to measure the temperature.The refining temperature of hemp gold is exactly about 1300 degrees, which is also the temperature of firing glass.

"Yes, Mr. Hua."

"Set up the altar, and I'll personally sacrifice the wine." Xuanyuan Yun said.

"……Yes."
