Chapter 239 New Invention
After staying at Cheng Minzheng's house for a night, Tang Bohu returned home exhausted and looked at the candlelight in his study and opened the door. He looked like Zhong Ling'er was reading a book.
"Are you back?" Zhong Ling'er put down the book and looked at Tang Bohu with a smile.
Walking into the study, Tang Bohu sat on a chair and said, "I'm thirsty."
Listening to the meaning of Tang Bohu's words, Zhong Ling'er flatteredly said, "I'm not your servant."
"Didn't the matchmaker send a few pots of peach blossom wine?" Tang Bohu closed his eyes and relaxed his body on the chair, "I want to take a sip."
"I'll get it." Zhong Ling'er stood up and walked out of the study.
Tang Bohu had a lot of troubles in his heart. It was the first time he had become tired of this era. The experiences of these years made him very tired, and the feeling of fatigue came like a tide.
When Zhong Ling'er returned to the study, she saw Tang Bohu still sleeping on the chair. Looking at the boy with a smile, Zhong Ling'er picked up the exquisite wine kettle and poured a glass on the wine glass. She looked at the boy's tired sleeping face and started drinking on his own.
On the second day, Tang Bohu woke up and felt that the bones on his body were almost disintegrating, and the bones on his body were sore. This was the consequence of sleeping on this chair. I thought about when the sofa started to exist. It would be great if there was a sofa. I stretched out my muscles and bones on my body. Tang Bohu thought that it was necessary to make the sofa, which must be big and soft.
Tangzhuang is very peaceful, everything here is as usual, the farmers who started farming in spring, the workers who worked in factories, and the sound of reading aloud in Tangzhuang Academy.
Today is the spring imperial examination list. The poor students have studied hard for ten years and have seen this dynasty. The capital is crowded with people and the crowds are crowded.
In front of the examination room, there were people! They were all students who came to take the exam from this spring exam. They looked at the names posted on the wall, their eyes were disappointed and excited, and they also looked at the number one they took.
Xu Zhenqing, Wang Shouren, Wen Zhengming, all had good grades, and they were within their acceptable range! Although the imperial examination questions were different from previous years, they were still inseparable from the eight-legged essays and classics. The names of the three people on the Jinshi list were included.
Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing accompanied him to Tang Bohu's home, "Tang Bohu, what are you doing?"
Tang Bohu is now studying the production of glass. Some ores are tossed and scattered. Hearing Xu Zhenqing's words, he didn't even raise his head and said, "I'm making glass."
"What is glass?" Xu Zhenqing looked puzzled.
Wen Zhengming scratched the back of his head and said, "Is it the same thing as sunglasses?"
"Yes." Tang Bohu nodded, then picked up a brush and wrote the chemical equation on a wooden board. Only he could understand silica and other things.
Xu Zhenqing looked at the rows of chemical equations on the wooden board and asked, "Why have I never seen the text of what place this is?"
"You have never seen many things." Tang Bohu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You have never seen perfume before."
Xu Zhenqing was speechless by Tang Bohu for a moment.
Wen Zhengming said awkwardly: "The list of the imperial examinations has been released. Xu Zhenqing and Lao Wang, I, are now our tribute students. We can enter the court after the palace examination."
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Tang Bohu said without stopping.
"But even after entering the Golden List, we have to go to the Hanlin Academy to survive for a few years." Xu Zhenqing said.
"Brother Tang!" Wen Zhengming came to Tang Bohu and interrupted Tang Bohu's movements and said, "Now there is a lot of joy in the capital. Let's have a drink together to celebrate."
Before Tang Bohu nodded, Tian San ran away with something and said, "Sir, you found the messy mat."
"I found it so soon." Tang Bohu picked up the soft pad that Tian San took over and glanced at it and said, "It's not bad, it's a little rough. How is the factory doing that spring thing?"
"Yan Song is looking for craftsmen to develop it, and it is almost time to have a result."
Of course, what Tian San found was not a sponge, but a mat with a soft plant. Tang Bohu knew that this kind of thing was very durable and would have to be replaced once a few months, otherwise the things inside would rot or have bugs?
"Bohu, are you going to make something new, like perfume?" Wen Zhengming was curious.
Forbidden City
In Huagai Palace, Zhu Youzhang finished processing the memorial in his hand and heard Wude’s report and asked: “What new things are Tang Bohu doing again?”
"I don't know." Wude replied.
Zhu Youzhi knew in his heart that Tang Bohu had always been hiding the production of the new firearm, but he didn't want to force it too tightly. He thought that people like Tang Bohu had to make him surrender willingly. If he forced it too tightly, he would often backfire. He said in contemplation: "Ding Tang Bohu, what exactly is this guy going to do."
Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing followed Tang Bohu and went to see what Yan Song was doing in the factory.
The factory has a blacksmith's workshop, which is right behind the factory. When Tang Bohu came over, Yan Song also stepped forward a few steps, "Master, this spring has been improved several times and encountered some problems."
Hearing Yan Song's words, Tang Bohu picked up the newly released spring. There was no big problem with the shape, but it broke after pressing, and it did not make elastic: "Enhance the width of the spring a little."
In fact, the reason is not difficult, it is the problem of the area of the stress and the length of the spring. As long as you master the proportion, there is no big problem.
Wen Zhengming looked at the springs all over the floor and didn't know what it was doing, so he spoke, "Xu Zhenqing and I will take a few sips first, we will be at Lao Wang's house."
"Yeah!" Tang Bohu nodded. Although he agreed, he didn't know how to face Xu Zhenqing now, or Wen Zhengming. In Tang Bohu's heart, he hoped that Xu Zhenqing would still be the same as before, but since the Xu Jing incident, he found that Xu Zhenqing was no longer the Xu Zhenqing of the past.
Perhaps the four children were no longer the four talents in Jiangnan, but Tang Bohu was also glad that he still didn't know if Xu Zhenqing was the real mastermind. He hoped that all this had nothing to do with Xu Zhenqing.
With Yan Song, Tang Bohu took Tian San to look at the current factory. Since the factory was on track, he became the boss who had been fighting gold every day.
"It's very good here." Tang Bohu said.
Yan Song also bowed and said, "This is all my responsibility."
"Have you worked hard these days?" Tang Bohu asked.
"Not working hard." Yan Song replied.
"Workers are always our capital, you have to remember!" Tang Bohu said to Yan Song: "It doesn't matter if we lose the factory, but if we lose the workers, we lose everything."
