Tian Jing became famous again in Xianyang City. Many people had heard that this man gave Huai Guzi two beauties as gifts, but ended up having to pay for the beauties' living expenses.

This kind of thing, which had never been heard before, almost made everyone burst into laughter.

After Zhou Zheng heard about it in the mansion, he couldn't help but sigh: "I thought I had gained a lot by taking Tian Jing's thousand yi. But compared with Huai Guzi, it is still nothing. This person, I'm afraid

I have to ask for money from Tian Jing for a long time."

Zhou Jia said from the side: "It's a pity that there is no way for us to learn Huaiguzi's shameless tactics, otherwise..."

Zhou Zheng said with some regret: "Yeah, I can't learn from it. Zhou Jia, go and send a letter to Tian Jing, saying that I will hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow, and I want him to come to honor me."

Zhou Jia understood and said with a smile: "The villain hints again and asks him to bring some gifts when he comes. He must be too cheap to give them away."

Zhou Zheng coughed and said, "You can make up your own mind. I can't listen to these common things."

Zhou Jia said quickly: "The villain made a mistake, and the gentleman made atonement."

Zhou Jia went to deliver a letter to Tian Jing, but Zhou Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "If you want Tian Jing to send money, you have to hold a banquet. But Huai Guzi is much smarter. How much did the two beauties spend?

Isn’t he the one who has the final say? This person is so shameless and so clever.”

Li Shui returned to Shangjun Courtyard with two beauties.

After entering, Li Shui told Cang Fu to arrange some work for these two beauties.

After hearing this, Cano was greatly surprised: "Sir, don't you plan to..."

Li Shui asked in confusion: "What are you planning?"

Cano smiled bitterly: "Don't you plan to let them serve you?"

Li Shui waved his hand: "No need. The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family?"

Cang Fu and the craftsmen around him looked at Li Shui with admiration.

Niu Calf suddenly boldly said: "Since the adults are not interested in these two women, then... Hehe, the villain is already in his twenties and has not yet married a wife. This..."

Li Shui pointed at the two beauties and said, "You have to think clearly. They need fine clothing and food every day, and they can't carry it on their shoulders or lift it with their hands."

When Niu Dao heard this, he immediately stopped thinking. The craftsmen around him also shook their heads and whispered to each other: "It's beautiful, but it's a pity that it's of no use. I can't help the family, so I can only eat for free. And it doesn't look good either.

Good fertility..."

Although the craftsmen have become rich, their deep-rooted ideas cannot be changed for a while. The first thing they look for in a wife is that they can have children. The second thing is that they can help with work.

Although these two beauties are good-looking, in the eyes of the craftsmen, they are a bit flashy.

These two beauties were originally quite proud of their looks, but today they were hit one after another. Now they are rejected by a group of craftsmen, and they are almost crying.

The man next to him thought for a while and said: "These two girls are thin and weak, and they may not have enough strength to plow the fields. Let them weave with the women first. After they have grown strong, it will not be too late to go to the fields."

"

When the beauty heard this, her beauty suddenly turned pale. But Cang Fu had already called an aunt to take them away.

Cang Fu said to Li Shui: "Sir, I still feel it is a bit wasteful. Such a beauty is not the same kind of person as us farmers."

Li Shui smiled and said: "Why are they not the same kind of people?"

Cano said: "Farmers are the ones who keep the adults fed and clothed, while beauties are the ones who let the adults have fun. Now the adults are abandoning these beauties and letting them do the work of farmers. This is a bit...

It’s a bit misplaced.”

Li Shui smiled and said to him: "Farmers and beauties do not live for adults, but for themselves. Maybe these two beauties don't want to please me? Do they want to do farm work? You let them

Try it, maybe they will fall in love with it.”

The calf was standing nearby, and he doubted this statement.

Because the eyes of the two beauties were red just now, and they obviously didn't want to weave. And... if Li Shui really wants to believe in this theory, he should choose a few aunts from among the farmers to serve him, so that it seems fair.

But Niu Da didn't dare to say it.

Li Shui whispered to Cang Fu again: "Tell those peasant women to keep an eye on these two women. They must work together during the day and sleep together at night. Whether they are eating or going to the toilet, they must accompany them."

Hold them."

Cano was shocked: "Master, don't you believe them?"

Li Shui said: "Tian Jing sent them. You have to be careful. Who knows whether they are loyal or traitors. Also, let them eat more at every meal. They are all as thin as wheat straws. I just saw them."

, I thought they were children. What a sin. What are the habits of these Guandong people?"

Cang Fu nodded vigorously, and when he was about to leave, Li Shui stopped him again and said: "These two girls, take them out for a walk every day. You don't have to go too far, just walk around the door and come back."

That’s it.”

Aangfu asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Li Shui said: "In this case, when they come in and out, don't they have to buy tickets again?"

Cang Fu looked at Li Shui in shock, and after a long time he gave a thumbs up and said: "The master is extremely wise, and the villain admires him."

After dealing with the two beauties, Li Shui went to the Immortal Chamber.

The Immortal Room has been expanding, and now there is the Immortal Food Room that specializes in food, the Immortal Paper Room that specializes in papermaking, the Immortal Iron Room that specializes in making ironware... and so on.

Each house has a courtyard, where craftsmen work tirelessly on research. Xiangli Zhu is the chief of the craftsmen and is called the foreman.

Now Xiangli Zhu is in one of the courtyards. In the middle of the courtyard, there are two stoves lighting fires.

Seeing Li Shui come in, Xiangli Zhu pointed to the two stoves and said: "Yesterday, an old man went to the patent office and said that he had invented a special stove that can make the fire burn more vigorously. When cooking, the time

Short, save firewood."

"After his patent was issued, he was invited to our immortal room. Now I am studying his stove."

Li Shui nodded and turned around to see a short old man with dark skin next to him.

He asked curiously: "Are you the old man who improved the stove?"

The old man nodded and said with a simple smile: "Yes. The villain's name is Gan Chai."

Li Shui smiled and said: "This is a good name, it fits the occasion."

Gan Chai said: "For several generations, the little man's ancestors have been slaves in the homes of wealthy families. Most of the time they were lighting fires. The little man heard about the slave-keeping thing, so he boldly went to Xianyang. He applied for a patent for the stove.

This is how I got rid of slavery."

"After the villain regained his freedom, the first thing he did was to come to Shangjun Courtyard. The calf guarding the gate saw that I was covered with pudding, so he not only waived my entrance fee, but also gave me a bunch and a half taels."

When Gan Chai said this, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and said: "After the villain came in, he asked who Ji Nu was. Without him, the villain would not dare to come to Xianyang, and he would probably be beaten in the master's house for the rest of his life.

scold."

"After Ji Nu met the villain, he was also filled with tears. Although we met for the first time, we had similar experiences and had endless things to talk about. We often cried while talking."

At this point, Gan Chai suddenly knelt down on the ground and cried loudly: "Thank you so much, Immortal Banished. If Immortal Banished hadn't written to Your Majesty to build this patent office, I would have been living like an ox and a horse for the rest of my life."

Li Shui helped Gan Chai up, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "It'll be fine if you come, it'll be fine if you come."

After a while, the test results came out. The stove designed for dry firewood was indeed very effective.

Li Shui knew in his heart that this was because the stove, air inlet, and flue designed for dry firewood were arranged more rationally, allowing the firewood to be fully burned while minimizing the loss of heat.

Li Shui asked Gan Chai: "Why does this stove save fire? Do you know the reason?"

This stopped Gan Chai from asking, and he hesitated and said: "This is how it was passed down from our ancestors. After generations of improvements, it has become what it is today. As for why, I don't know why."

Li Shui nodded, which was expected.

After chatting with Gan Chai for a while, Li Shui took Xiangli Zhu to the side and said, "These patents now are of relatively low level."

Xianglizhu looked at him in confusion: "The level is relatively low. What do you mean?"

Li Shui said: "These people came to a conclusion based on experience and after several generations of trial and error. They know this is the best, but they don't know why."

"This is not possible. You must understand the principle, know it and know why it is. Only by understanding the principle can you use this principle to make new things. Just rely on experience, and you will eventually stop.

forward."

Xiangli Zhushen nodded in agreement and said, "I didn't expect you to say such insightful words."

Li Shui was a little speechless: "I am an immortal, isn't it normal to say this?"

After a moment of silence, Li Shui said to Xiang Lizhu: "Among these people, you are the only one who likes to study its principles deeply. But you are alone, so it may be a bit difficult to study. Maybe you can choose some talents from among the craftsmen.

If you are smart, teach them. When the time comes, you can brainstorm and get twice the result with half the effort."

Xiangli Zhushen nodded in agreement.

Li Shui ordered Xiangli Zhu to play some videos, and when he was about to turn around and leave, Xiangli Zhu stopped him again and said with a smile: "I heard that Tian Jing gave you two beauties, but you arranged for them to weave?

"

Li Shui said seriously: "As the foreman of the Immortal Chamber, if you don't focus on research, why do you focus on these things all day long?"

Xiangli Zhu rolled his eyes: "I'm not your slave in Shangjun's courtyard. I can do whatever I want. However, you don't show any mercy to me? Why?"

Li Shui said: "The Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should we call our home..."

Xianglizhu waved his hand: "Come on, you can't fool me with such nonsense."

Li Shui sighed: Sure enough, people with high IQs are not easy to deceive.

Li Shui whispered: "Then I told the truth."

Xianglizhu was very interested and nodded vigorously.

Li Shui said: "These two women look okay, but unfortunately they are not my type. They are too young."

Xianglizhu looked puzzled: "Isn't he young? I took a look from a distance, I'm afraid he is sixteen or seventeen years old."

Li Shui explained patiently: "It's not that you are young."

Xianglizhu bit his finger and thought hard: "It's not that you are young? What is that?"
