Chapter 22 The First Class Craftsman

At least leave one for me!

Wang Ge was speechless. She briefly told Examiner Zheng how she made homemade tinder in Jiashe Village: soaked ramie, removed the leaves, and flattened the fibers; added reeds, hammered them together, and dried them in the sun; scraped

Dot the soil on the mud wall and mix it with saltpeter, crush the hemp fiber thoroughly, wrap it with grass silk, roll it into a long strip, and put it into a bamboo tube; light it and blow it out, and cover it with the bamboo tube lid.

Every time you use it in the future, open the lid and blow two breaths, and the fire will rekindle.

Then Examiner Zheng took away all the small bamboo tubes!

Then, they were put on the desk of Magistrate Huan.

On May 22nd, the list will be posted.

Wang Ge deserves to be ranked first among the craftsmen! This ranking has another title: the first-class craftsman!

Zhang Qing is in the 89th place.

There are as many as seven people on the Guzhixiang list!

This year's craftsman examination results are very different from previous years in all major categories. The reason is not obvious to everyone: Magistrate Jiang, who used power for personal gain, is dead. In previous years, there were fewer people on the list in each township because the quotas were all taken by Jiang.

The clan was divided! But the newly appointed magistrate Huan County was unselfish, so that all townships and towns could be divided equally.

"What a great joy!" The officials from other villages congratulated the officials from Muxiang.

"Same joy!" The official in Muxiang smiled crookedly. "How many have been recorded in your hometown?"

"nine."

Mu Xiangli's happiness index plummeted. He quickly pointed to the name of the first place "Wang Ge" and said loudly: "The first place candidate is from my hometown! Hahahaha..."

The backyard of the county government office.

Wen Shizhi blew the fire and ignited the fire: "It's on, it's on! Haha!"

Magistrate Huan gave the task of studying tinder to his nephew and the descendants of the Wen family. The two young men were very attentive in their work. They classified the tinder according to the different compositions of the materials, and recorded the differences in the use of each type of tinder.

The one made by Wang Ge is definitely the worst due to limited materials.

To be useful, sulfur, rosin and other combustion aids must be added. In order to cover up the unpleasant smell when tinder is burning, spices can also be added.

Therefore, a fire stick that is easy to use and has no unpleasant smell when burned is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.

The two young men had made a contribution in the invention of "Huozhezi", and they would definitely not need to be beaten when they returned to Luoyang.

"Poor brother Tian." Wen Shizhi shook his head.

Huan Zhen: "Let's talk about this at his bedside when we pass by Shanyin County."

Magistrate Huan heard the two teenagers gloating about their misfortune from a distance. "Has tinder been made?"

"Uncle Clan."

"Uncle Huan."

After the two people bowed to each other, Huan Zhen showed that the Huozhezi had been successfully developed.

Magistrate Huan endured the great joy in his heart and said: "You two have done a great job! In other words, you can go to the front yard, Wen Mansion has already arrived."

"Yes." Wen bowed and bowed, leaving Huan Zhen with a "take care of yourself" glance.

"Uncle Clan, do you have something to say?" Huan Zhen asked as he rolled up the booklet recording the fire incident and tied it up.

"Your father's letter has arrived." Magistrate Huan handed it out with his hand behind his back. It was a millet-colored brocade bag with a mud seal stuck to the knot.

Huan Zhen opened it and found that the inside of the silk book was his father's handwriting, but the content inside... Oops! His father was serious this time! He didn't have to think about going to Shanyin County to make fun of Wang Tian!

"Uncle Clan." As if nothing happened, he put the silk book back into the brocade bag, tucked it into his sleeve pocket, picked up the fire folding device made of tinder, the best material, and came up with an idea: "The outer tube of the fire folding tube can be replaced with copper, and the bamboo tube of the fire extinguishing water gun can be replaced."

Can the outer tube be replaced? In that case, the height of the water spray may be even higher!”

Magistrate Huan County smiled meaningfully and said: "You don't need to worry about these things. I am going to organize the rural soldiers in Cuiyi County and designate ten post pavilions as pilot camps. This is an excellent opportunity for training. You are good

Don’t miss this opportunity of military strategy and martial arts!”

Huan Zhen: "I'm not yet a minor."

"It's just right to be underage! Starting next year, the imperial court will set up juvenile guard camps in each state. It requires children who are no more than fifteen years old and have an official rank of five or above to have at least one year of rural soldier experience, and then go through the township, county, county, and state levels.

You can only be admitted after taking the entrance examination! You are really suitable."

Huan Zhen said awkwardly: "Uncle Clan... already knows."

"What your father ordered..." Magistrate Huan raised his two fingers proudly, "They are two letters! There are also two doctors, one is a healer for wounds, and the other is a healer for broken wounds! There are many letters to me.

A piece of content!”

Huan Zhen was silent, knowing that his uncle didn't hold it in well!

"If you run away again and I catch you, I will cut off one of your legs. I will take care of the beatings, and the two doctors will take care of you! Ah Zhen, guarding the army is the way to advance that many soldiers dream of. From now on, you must curb your wildness.

, stay well in Cuiyi County. I will let you go when you are admitted to the county guard army. Don't worry, in the meantime, I will treat you as my nephew!" He patted Huan Zhen's shoulder, took the fire certificate, and said

Leave leisurely.

"By the way," he turned around and said, "the manager sent by the Wen family looks very angry. He should escort nephew Wen Xian away directly. Don't you want to send him off?"

Huan Zhen didn't bother to lament to himself and ran out like the wind. Unfortunately, the Wen family's carriage had already left the county government office.

The separation between my friends lasted for more than two years.

When the Wen family's carriage drove out of the west gate, Wang Ge carried a large basket on his back and entered through the east gate, finally arriving at the county seat. Every once in a while, she felt uneasy about the money bag tied to her belt. It was so heavy that it was so heavy.

Excited and nervous.

Two hundred and seventy dollars should be enough to give the elder father medicine, right?

The Muxiang official told her that the "Herbal Medicine Shop" and "Huatuo Medicine Shop" were the largest in the city and had the most complete range of medicinal herbs. He also told her that medicinal herbs were only divided into grades, but the prices of the same grade would definitely be the same! If there were any shoddy goods, they would be the same.

, Government penalties for price gouging are very severe, so Wang Ge does not have to worry about being deceived, he can go to any pharmacy to buy medicine.

The words of the Muxiang official made Wang Ge think along the way: Is this the Jin Dynasty? Is this ancient times? The economic system is too standardized! If it weren't for the lack of refined salt and not even a fire certificate, she would really doubt the Emperor Wu back then.

He is also a time traveler!

In front is the Shennong Drug Store. A narrow wooden board with the name of the store hanging vertically on one side of the wall is parallel to the wall. Wang Ge smelled a strong smell of medicine at the door. After entering, the drug boy asked: "To see a doctor or to take medicine?"

"Take some medicine. Is there any medicine for back pain?"

"New injury or old injury?"

"Old wounds."

"Are there any symptoms of dampness and cold? For example, it is easy to have low back pain on cloudy and rainy days. When you have low back pain, is there also tightness in the chest? Does it hurt from the back down, or only the lower back? Does it hurt on both sides of the lower back at the same time, or only the bones? Touching the bones can

Is there a protrusion? Is the back hunched? Can the patient move around and turn over now? Can he tilt, bend and stretch when lying down? Can he relieve himself normally?"

Wang Ge sweated when asked by the medicine boy. Fortunately, her soul was an adult and she had carefully inquired about her elder father's illness before coming, otherwise the trip would have been in vain.

After grabbing the medicine and taking it out, I thought about the method of cooking the medicine as instructed by the medicine boy: when decocting the medicine, add a large amount of pig fat, wring out the residue after frying the medicine, and after the medicine cools, it will form a black paste and apply it on the back of the waist.

.You can use clean linen cloth to apply on top of the ointment and isolate it from clothes.

Isn't this just a plaster?

Wang Ge laughed at himself. He was obviously a time traveler, but he always looked like a country bumpkin in this ancient era.
