Chapter 21 Meet the Yiren again

Two hundred taels of gold are two thousand taels of silver. As long as Chen Wanrong does not pursue luxury too much, he can live a wealthy life without worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. Ye Tianheng takes great care of it.

There must be people who are tempted by money, but it is not Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong cannot accept the gold from Master Ye whom he respects. He said without thinking: "Master Zhang, please tell Master Ye that I have received his kindness, but I cannot ask for this money no matter what."

Zhang Deming knew Chen Wanrong's family situation very well. He didn't know that the Chen family had undergone tremendous changes. He thought it was the same as before, and advised: "Master Wanrong, please accept this money. I also know the situation of your family. If you don't say anything else, you won't think about Zairong? If a person is so smart, if he doesn't have money, he might have missed his future."

This is not true, it makes sense, but today is different. Chen Wanrong declined, "I understand Master Zhang's beauty. No matter how honored we are, we will find a way to avoid his future. Master Ye is obsessed with weapons and does his best to the power of the Tang Dynasty. This money will not be too much, and he still has to live. Besides, I admire Master Ye from the bottom of my heart. How can I ask for his money? Master Zhang, if we change our seats, will you ask for Master Ye's money?"

Although Zhang Deming was a country blacksmith, he still had moral character. He asked Chen Wanrong a lot and couldn't speak for a long time: "Wanrong, I'm convinced that you have such virtues! But, how can I explain to my master when I go back?"

"Just say I'm thanking Master Ye, I remember his affection." Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said this.

Zhang Deming patted Chen Wanrong's shoulder: "Master Wanrong, you have noble character. If I continue to talk about it, I will disrespect you. This will end here. If there is something in the future, I will do my best if you say it."

He thought that the Chen family was poor, and if Chen Zairong had no money to study in the future, he could help him find a solution. He went to the weapons supervisor and his income was much more than that of a blacksmith here. There would be no problem in paying some money to help Chen Zairong study.

Although he had a kind intention, he just didn't understand the changes that have taken place in the Chen family. Of course, Chen Wanrong would not tell him arrogantly that there was no need. It was really lucky to meet such kind-hearted people: "Master Zhang, please rest assured. If you need it, you will ask Master Zhang for help. Master Zhang, how much do you know about Xishan?"

"What are you asking?" Although Zhang Deming didn't understand what Chen Wanrong intended, he still replied: "The West Mountain is dozens of miles away from Luojiadian, which is very desolate. I don't have much time to go there, and I only visited my grandfather."

Chen Wanrong took out the saltpeter and asked, "Master Zhang, I just went to Xishan and found this thing. Have you found more on the Xishan side?"

Zhang Deming shook his head: "I have heard of this stone. It can cure headaches and fevers. I just occasionally find it in Xishan. As for more, I have never heard of it."

His statement matched the old man's statement. Chen Wanrong had no hurry to think about it. Even if he found a saltpeter mine, what could he do? First, he had to buy it before he could hire someone to mine it. Only after the mining was done, he could boil the nitride and make the commonly used nitride. Only then could he talk about making gunpowder.

The prospects are very wonderful, but it only requires a lot of money. I don’t have that much money. I will talk about it when I have enough capital in the future.

"Master Zhang, if you have something to do at home, I will go back first." Chen Wanrong put away the saltpeter and said goodbye. Zhang Deming hurriedly sent Chen Wanrong out. Chen Wanrong untied the reins, turned over the horse's back, clasped his fists at Zhang Deming, said goodbye, and galloped away.

The blue and white feet were very fast, and they returned home not long after. It was dusk when the sunset was setting. This time, Chen Laoshi and his wife did not welcome Chen Wanrong's return from afar, but hid in the house to drive the wooden work. They wanted to do all the next wooden work before going to the county town. The reason for this was because they all rely on these wooden work to make some wages for the family in recent years. This was the result of the care of the villagers. Without the care of the villagers, the family might be as difficult as possible. Now that the family is well, we cannot forget the goodness of the villagers.

Chen Wanrong came to the cowshed, led the blue and white flowers into the cowshed, and shouted to Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, don't bully blue and white flowers. It is your friend, so you have to live a good life." Chen Wanrong knew Xiao Hei's temperament very well, and it was no problem to start bullying blue and white flowers in a crazy way.

However, Chen Wanrong's worries were unnecessary. When Blue and White saw Xiao Hei, he nipped and rushed forward. The horse's head rubbed against Xiao Hei's neck, as if he saw an old friend. Xiao Hei also roared happily, stretching a pair of crescent cows and pushed towards Blue and White. Chen Wanrong wanted to scold him, but found that Xiao Hei was not crazy, but was playing. The horns pressed against the Blue and White neck, rubbed gently, and was intimate, as if he met a relative.

The cows and horses are together, and they keep sniffing, as if an old friend is chatting when they meet. First, the head and neck are tangled, and then the belly is touching, which makes Chen Wanrong think of the scene of an old friend touching the belly when they meet.

With a long neigh, a cow and a horse surrounded him, clamping Chen Wanrong in the middle and shaking. The two guys were quite strong, and Chen Wanrong felt as if he had clamped two thick walls. He was almost breathless and shouted: "Get out, get out!"

How could Xiao Hei from Blue and White? Chen Wanrong couldn't stand it. He kicked Xiao Hei in the belly, but it made Xiao Hei roar and leaned his stomach towards Chen Wanrong's thigh. Look at it, he wanted Chen Wanrong to kick him a few more.

It was such a scoundrel. Chen Wanrong was very depressed. He punched his right hand on the corner of Blue and White Eyes. The blue and white horse's head was shaking and neighed happily. His eyes turned on and closed Chen Wanrong, and he was very happy. He wanted Chen Wanrong to punch his fists again.

The fist is hard to hit the smiley man. Even if Chen Wanrong is unhappy, he can't come out, so he can only smile bitterly. He no longer looks for Chen Wanrong, jumping around Chen Wanrong, going to the left and right together, with uniform movements, like a well-trained army. Every time he jumps, he makes a joyful neigh.

Chen Wanrong has never seen this kind of thing, so he stretched out his hands to the cow and horse, and no longer jumped, and he kept licking the palm of Chen Wanrong's palm, and was so intimate.

Chen Wanrong suddenly realized that they were showing kindness to him. Xiaohei and Blue and White both came from Niu Dayan, one was the king of the cow and the other was the hero of the horse. Maybe they would have had good friends before. At first sight, they were naturally very happy, and it was not impossible to express their gratitude to him.

"Where did the horse come from?" Chen Laoshi's voice sounded, and after asking, he exclaimed: "What a majestic horse!"

Mrs. Chen looked at the blue and white porcelain: "Wanrong, where did you buy the horse?"

It must be that the neighing of blue and white porcelain attracted them. There were red spots in the neck of blue and white porcelain, which was a very bad thing in the eyes of the ancients. The two elders would definitely be very worried when they knew it. Chen Wanrong could not tell the truth, so he had to lie: "Mom, I bought it, more than 200 coins. Zairong has always wanted a good horse. I saw that this horse is pretty good, so I bought it."

The Erlao Villagers don’t know much about horses. Even if they see the red spots in their necks, they will not think that this is a very bad thing. This lie is very perfect. As for Chen Zairong, there is no need to worry at all. He is a clever person and knows how to deal with it.

"Okay, okay! Zairong will definitely like this horse when he sees you, and you will definitely like it!" Chen Houshi couldn't help rubbing his hands, the heat in his eyes was no worse than the blazing sunshine.

Chen Wang touched the blue and white neck with his left hand, and his right hand kept patting his mouth lightly, as if he was spoiling the child: "Wanrong, I heard you call it blue and white, right? Blue and white, be obedient, don't fight with Xiao Hei." The cows and horses are incompatible, and fighting is very common, but she doesn't know that one cow and one horse are so good that she will wear a pair of pants.

"Mom, don't worry, they won't fight. Look." Chen Wanrong pointed at Xiao Hei. When Chen Wang looked, he saw Xiao Hei's horns pressing against the blue and white belly, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and his tiny tight.

Chen Laoshi stroked the blue and white with one hand and Xiao Hei with the other, so happy that his mouth couldn't be closed. Looking at his appearance, Chen Wanrong felt that something was wrong, and as expected, it was really bad. The couple didn't do anything else, and they didn't even feel food when they were bellyful. The husband and wife teased Xiao Hei and played with blue and white, and laughter spread far away.

This cannot be blamed on the two elders. Blue and white and Xiao Hei are really cute. They are not worse than cute children when they are dressed up, and they are very happy. The supper naturally falls on Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong prepares dinner and eats it. The two elders are still in full swing, so they go to the speed cattle and horse to have fun. Chen Wanrong also laughs and makes a fuss before going to bed.

The next morning, he woke up, got up in his clothes, and came to the main hall. Chen Laoshi's face shone with his eyes wide open, looking at Xiao Hei and Blue and White who were playing in the yard.

"Wanrong, come and see, Xiao Hei and Blue and White are so intimate, even more intimate than the two brothers." Chen Laoshi hurriedly waved to Chen Wanrong, very anxious.

Xiao Hei and the blue and white ones grind their heads and necks, and they had to jump a few times from time to time. They were so cute if they had them. However, it was too unbelievable to be indulged in this early in the morning. Looking at Chen Laoshi's intoxicated look, Chen Wanrong couldn't say anything, so he had to shake his head secretly.

Mrs. Chen came out of the stove, held a basin of hot water, and handed it to Chen Wanrong's hand, and whispered in Chen Wanrong's ear: "Wanrong, where did you buy the knife? It's so sharp. I cut your father's hand."

Before going to bed last night, Chen Wanrong put the saber on the table, probably because he had picked it up by the two elders. The knife was too sharp and he was accidentally seriously injured. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but worry: "Mom, is my father seriously injured?"

"Here, it's cut so deep." Chen Wangshi pointed at her thumb and gestured, and the wound was about half a centimeter deep.

Chen Wanrong suddenly realized that no wonder Chen Laoshi was watching the cows for fun early in the morning and did not do wooden work. It turned out that his hand was injured and could not work anymore. As he was thinking, Chen Wangshi complained: "He is too, he is a big boss, and he is still like a child. The knife is so sharp that he still touches it with his hands. Isn't that asking for death?"

Although she didn't explain the plot in detail, Chen Wanrong could imagine it. It must be that Chen Laosheng used his thumb to touch the blade and test whether the blade was sharp or not, but the result was that he cut his finger. I remembered that when Zhang Deming told him not to touch it with his hands yesterday, he was really foresighted.

Half a centimeter deep, no bones were damaged, but skin trauma, and it was cured for a few days. Chen Wanrong was relieved. He was about to go out of the house to wash his face with a basin. Chen Wang grabbed Chen Wanrong and asked, "Does the blue and white porcelain not eat grass?"

When Chen Wanrong heard this, he regretted it: "Yes, Blue and White have been eating the best-selling millet, and I forgot to buy millet."

Chen Wangshi smiled and said, "No wonder. Wanrong, don't worry, you've already been fed. After you went to bed last night, we fed the grass, but the blue and white porcelain did not eat it. I guessed that the blue and white porcelain was fed to the millet. This morning, I asked your father to go to your second aunt's house to buy more than ten kilograms of good millet. The blue and white porcelain was eating it happily."

After taking a closer look, Chen Wanrong found that the blue and white belly was round and he was indeed fed. He was negligent and was exhausted. Chen Laoshi ran up and down early in the morning. Chen Wanrong felt very sorry: "It's really hard for his father."

"He was injured in his hand and could not work. It was okay to run errands. Wanrong, I heard that a good horse would be free, but if he didn't, he would be disabled. You can ride on the blue and white porcelain for a while later." Chen Wangshi thought of Chen's recklessness and was a little angry.

Chen Wanrong knew about the fact that a good horse was going to escape. She really forgot that she didn't say it. She admired her meticulous thoughts very much: "Mom, I'm going to the county town today, so I'll ride blue and white, just think it's just like a horse was going to run."

Mrs. Chen was a little surprised and asked, "What are you doing in the county?"

Last night, the couple was all about Xiao Hei and Blue and White, so Chen Wanrong didn't say anything. Chen Wanrong explained to her: "Old Master Zheng promised to ask me about the matter. I'll reply to me today. I'll go to his house to wait for the news."

"Is it his old house? Is it his old house? What is he doing if he gives him a word?" Chen Wangshi couldn't understand Zheng Jianqiu's decision.

Chen Wanrong analyzed: "Mom, that's his old house. He doesn't even want the future for the old house, so he has to let him consider it. He didn't refuse yesterday, and this matter might be successful."

Chen Wang nodded slightly and expressed his approval. He wanted to speak but stopped. Chen Wanrong knew that she had something to say and put the basin on the table. While washing her face, she listened to Chen Wang. Chen Wang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wanrong, I have something to ask you. This soap requires a lot of people. Have you thought about it?"

Chen Wanrong pondered and said, "Let's look for it after you have finished the ground. Choose one by one, and you will always find someone who satisfies me."

Chen Wangshi has always maintained Chen Wanrong, and it is rare to criticize him once. This time he actually started to criticize him: "Wanrong, you really have to have a clue for such a big thing. Once you find it well, you need a manpower. Now you don't look for it when you want it, and it's too late to find it when you want it. I have thought about it, and you can't do it very much for a while. Of course, it's better to have a smart and smart person, but it's not important to have no one for the time being. As long as you can do your job well, it's the key to be loyal and reliable, and you can't leak technical secrets."

It is very important to ensure that the technology is not leaked. This is the point. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes, mother, I think so too, so I want to choose one by one, and be absolutely reliable." Although the Tang Dynasty recognized technology, stealing other technologies was illegal. After all, there is no patent protection. Once the technology is leaked, Chen Wanrong's losses will be very large.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "You child, do you still have to choose? Our family is poor, but there are still some poor relatives. These people know the truth. Whoever is tight-lipped, who works well, who is good at work, who is good at heart, who is good at brains. Wanrong, if you agree, you can choose from them. They are all family members, will they tell your secrets? Even if someone has a disgrace, aren't he afraid of drowning in saliva? He doesn't think about himself, or his family?"

Now at most, it is just a workshop. Unlike modern factories, which can be managed completely by hundreds or thousands of people. Although these country people are not educated and cannot be called high-quality, they are simple, loyal and reliable, and can do well in their own command. This is really a good idea.

Chen Wanrong's consciousness has some idea that modern enterprises need high-quality talents. In the Tang Dynasty, they received higher education and studied chemical engineering. There was no other person except Chen Wanrong. This idea was too unrealistic. Instead, it would be more convenient to find a group of relatives and friends. He said happily: "Mom, you are right, just pick dozens of people from them. You also have to choose some skillful women. You can bring them to fold flowers and pack them, and then find some carpenters with quick hands and feet, and your father will take them to make wooden boxes."

The two elders followed him from beginning to end, making a great contribution. They were very familiar with making soap. They believed that with their guidance, the packaging and wooden boxes would be resolved.

"You went to the city today, your father was injured in his hand and there was nothing to do. I asked him to speak to his relatives and friends, asking them to come to home tomorrow, and you will choose. If you agree, you will invite them. If you don't, you will take care of a meal, which is not a big deal." Chen Wang's thoughts were so meticulous. Chen Wanrong admired him from the bottom of his heart, but he was not educated, otherwise he would be a strong woman.

As soon as the matter was decided, Chen Wang served the food. Chen Wanrong used it. He said goodbye to the two elders and rode the blue and white trees to the county town. With the blue and white trees, this path was nothing at all, and he soon arrived in Ning County. Chen Wanrong entered the city and walked left as Zheng Jianqiu said. After a while, he saw an old locust tree that was thickly held together and thought to himself.
