"Weaving? Water conservancy? Planting? Processing? Even farming equipment, where can you get them?" Ren Baqian thought for a while and said to Shi Hu: "Go to my room and get the brown wooden box under the bed."
Shi Hu hurried away.
Afterwards, the room fell into silence, Ren Baqian waited there with all his spare time, talking now was a waste of time, these people never shed tears when they saw the coffin.
Meanwhile, the Zhang family and the others were thinking about what Ren Baqian asked the guards to take.
Half an hour later, Shi Hu came back in a hurry, carrying a two-foot-long, one-foot-wide, and half-foot-thick wooden box in his hand. "My lord, bring it here."
Ren Baqian took the box and opened it, rummaged through it and threw out a blueprint: "Water-powered loom, water-powered weaving cloth, can you understand it?"
"This is a hydraulic forging machine, which is also driven by water and used for forging, which can save a lot of manpower."
"This is a pulley composite bow! A strong bow with a force of 100 jin can be drawn with only 20 jin of strength. I don't need to talk about its function." As soon as Ren Baqian finished speaking, the people who were still studying the blueprints immediately went Grab the compound bow blueprint in his hand.
After watching for a while, everyone became surprised: "It turns out that this is the case, using a pulley here can reduce the force!"
In fact, this world has long discovered the role of pulleys. This simple physics is a well-known thing no matter in any world. The problem lies in its cognition.
"Look, I'm not afraid of you seeing these things, and I'm not even afraid of you studying them, because I know far more than you think.
What you think is important is only important to you. The few things I have come up with are already more advanced than the technology you know, but these things I have come up with are just simple and easy to make. I can actually do better, it just takes a bit of work.
I use you not because of how many things you can bring, but because you can save me time. I have too much to do to keep my mind on everything, so I need some smarter people to do something for me. You are the smarter people in my eyes. "Ren Baqian said slowly.
After a long time, Zhang Zishan put down the drawings and looked up at Ren Baqian with a complex expression. In addition to the previous brewing, springing, and dyeing, Ren Baqian has indeed shown that he is better than the Zhang family in many aspects. I have to admit that there are really people who are born to know this world.
At this age, I was already well-known in the Zhang family, but I was still only talented in one aspect.
A sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart, and there was really no comparison between people. Compared with the other party, I can say that I have lived on dogs in the past few decades.
"Master Ren, you are truly amazing, and even one person can surpass thousands of people in our Zhang family. But you still haven't told me, how can you convince me that you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
"What good will crossing the river and demolishing the bridge do me?" Ren Baqian laughed.
"I don't care about your technology. I don't care about money. If it's not for war, I can get countless money just by selling those mirrors to Yunguo and Daxia." Ren Baqian casually took out his slap A small thing, big or small, is placed on the table. There are two glass funnels above and below, and the sand on one side is constantly flowing down to the other side.
"This is an hourglass, which can be used to time the time. It takes exactly an hour for the sand to flow from one side to the other. How much do you think such a thing is worth?"
"Six hundred taels of silver." Zhang Zishan and the others stared carefully at the transparent hourglass that Ren Baqian took out and guessed. Although the hourglass is a bit rough in the eyes of Ren Baqian, it is already extremely delicate in the eyes of the Zhang family.
They believe that such a small thing will definitely have a lot of rich people willing to spend hundreds of silver to buy it.
"There are also people who buy one thousand taels of silver. I take this thing to tell you that any small thing I just take out has great commercial value. If I want money, I can get it at my fingertips."
"You are here, so you can save me some time. What good will it do me to kill you? I can tolerate even the Jing clan, but I can't tolerate you? As long as you keep yourselves safe, no one will touch you at all.
I can also recommend you to the Ministry of Industry as officials. Those Jing people, you should know, right? "Ren Baqian looked at Zhang Junzheng.
"What I want is that the Jing people and the Gu people can live together under the same sky, so I will gradually improve the status of the Jing people, and you can get the same treatment as the Jing people."
"Master Ren is from the Jing clan?" Zhang Zishan asked.
"What you see in your eyes is just a family, don't use your mind to guess what I think." Ren Baqian shook his head. The discourse is full of the taste of looking down.
"I see the future of this world!"
The members of the Zhang family really didn't know what Ren Baqian was thinking, but Ren Baqian's tone made them feel that the other party seemed to be standing on a cloud looking down on them... an arrogant lunatic.
Do you think you are a god
"Your Zhang family's list has been sent, but you are asking these questions at this time. You dare not advance, and you dare not retreat. Advance and retreat lose ground. This is not the style of a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years." Ren Baqian changed his voice, laughed.
Zhang Zishan's expression was not good, although what the other party said was true.
It's just that there is really nothing he can do here. After all, the lives of thousands of people in the Zhang family cannot be left to be careless. Even now, the Zhang family is still arguing endlessly.
"Let me give you another promise. Your Zhang family can choose an industry or technology as the core to keep, and use it as the foundation of your life." Ren Baqian said with a smile.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, everyone in the Zhang family showed a gleam of joy on their faces.
Ren Baqian sighed slightly in his heart, people of this era have limitations in their thinking, no matter what family they are in, it is unavoidable. They don't want to think about it, if they have more advanced technology in their chosen industry, they can collapse the entire Zhang family at any time.
In fact, the Zhang family may not understand this matter, but they still choose this way, they need to hold on to something tightly, as if this makes them feel that they can hold their lives in their own hands.
"Master Ren, this matter is unnecessary." Zhang Junzheng said suddenly.
Everyone in the Zhang family turned their heads and glared, puzzled.
"Junzheng, when will you be able to make decisions for the Zhang family?" Zhang Zishan shouted.
"Second Uncle, I'll talk to you later." Zhang Junzheng shook his head slightly, and cupped his hands towards Ren Baqian: "Master Ren, this time it's our villain's heart. My Zhang family is willing to believe in the sincerity of Sir Ren. Identity will naturally not lie to me.
I only hope that Master Ren can give my Zhang family a lesson in the future! "
Ren Baqian smiled, someone in this family finally figured it out.
"Come to me after your Zhang family has made up their minds." Seeing that the others were still puzzled, Ren Baqian got up and left with the guards.
After Ren Baqian left, the Zhang family had a dispute in the restaurant.
In the end, Zhang Junzheng convinced everyone, and he found Ren Baqian the next day, and the Zhang family completely joined him. Of course, it is nominally under the command of the Empress.
Since then, Ren Baqian has a large number of experienced craftsmen under his command, and the first thing Ren Baqian did after taking refuge in the Zhang family was to gather some hundred households from the Tianjing Land and take his men out of the Tianjing Land to go cloud country.
With the power developed by the Zhang family in Yunguo for hundreds of years as internal support, these hundreds of households can easily lurk in the major cities of Yunguo.
And a large number of mountain people in the 60,000 mountains also came out of the mountains later, entered the recruit training camp, and began to eat fish and doubt their lives. They practiced every day and scolded who came up with this bad idea.
