Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three: Hundreds of Workers contend
For several days, Shuofang was filled with an inexplicable atmosphere, which made people feel a little more impetuous and more specialized. However, whether it is good or bad, it can only be said that people have different opinions.
Some craftsmen who had given up their craftsmanship and turned to work as laborers on construction sites for their sake or worked as long-term workers in various workshops became restless after hearing about the Juwu Foundation.
Whether they are really capable or half a bucket of water, they feel that they have the opportunity to be recognized by the Juwu Foundation. Even if they are not as powerful as the Li Fang brothers, they can at least get a consolation prize or something. As long as they have money, they will be at least comfortable to go out earlier and return later than they are now.
Of course, there are many people who have this idea, and there are also many people who use their so-called works to apply for a fund for a research fund at Gewufang, but few of them can actually pass the review.
Lao Ai once said: "Genius is one percent inspiration, plus ninety-nine percent sweat, but that one percent inspiration is often more important than ninety-nine percent sweat."
This is the case in any industry. Inspiration can be a thought, an opportunity, or a little luck, which can be encountered but hard to find...
And in the invention world, this is particularly realistic.
Even if there are many skilled craftsmen, even if they have superb skills comparable to Luban, if they do not have the inspiration for that moment, they will only become a small boat in the long river of history, drifting with the flow.
Only those who seize that slight inspiration, opportunities, and luck can go upstream, raise sails in the long flow of history, fight hundreds of boats and ride the wind and waves.
The new issue of "Zhiyin" arrived as promised.
The pattern on the cover this time was beyond everyone's expectations.
“Seeder?”
"Hu Laizi?"
"My mom, can this Hu Laizi be the one Hu Laizi in our village?"
"What's going on? My little brother knows this person?"
"This... is really from our Hujia Village. I know this Hu Laizi. He is a lazy and sloppy man. He doesn't work hard on weekdays and is used to being scammers and having fun. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few acres of land at home... I... damn it, 5,000 guan? Why did this sowing machine actually reward 5,000 guan?"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, another one who has lost his luck. This seed is just a small object made of a few pieces of wood. It can be recognized by the Essay Foundation. It is five thousand guan. I will do nothing in my life and I can't finish it."
"Haha, how many pieces of wood? You are afraid you are too jealous. If you see clearly, this thing can speed up the seeds by three times. Not only can seeds be used, but seedlings can also be used to plant them."
"Hey, it's true. There are legends and instructions behind this... Not to mention, just insert it into the soil and throw the seeds or seedlings into it. After pulling it out, the soil on both sides will cover the seeds themselves, which is much faster than burying them one by one."
"This, is this the seeder?"
"Have you seen this thing?"
"I have seen it, not only seen it, but my special mother has also used it..." The young man surnamed Hu was determined to die at this time. This thing was made by Hu Laizi and asked his father to ask him to kill him. It was so damn that he suddenly felt that he had lost five thousand guan...
In the corner of the teahouse, there were still a few men with extremely thick fingers.
However, unlike in the past, their tea tables are filled with candied fruits and dried fruits, and even the tea leaves are the best hair tips.
"Hahaha, please feel free. I just said that my senior brother's water wheel will definitely be selected. Three thousand guan, this is three thousand guan of real money."
"The eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother. If the master had spirit in heaven, he would definitely be proud of you."
"Senior Brother, that guy Li Fang invited you to join Gewufang. Have you decided to go or not?"
"I must go. The manager of Gewufang will have five stagnant of money in a month and will also provide food and accommodation. I heard that there are still many good things to get at the end of the year...toothpaste, enamel..."
"Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about us. With this money, we can set up a carpenter's workshop in Shuofang at any time. At that time, our brothers and sisters can study the skills passed down by the master every day."
These people are the Tian family brothers who gathered here a few days ago. At this time, several of the junior brothers were persuading the senior brother Tian Qi to join the Gewufang. For nothing else, the senior brother could have a good place to go, and those who are brothers would be happy to see it.
Tian Qi, the bearded man who developed the water wheel, is said to have been inherited by some of his ancestors. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, the Mo family declined, and the Mo family's children fled in all directions, lurking in Jiuzhou waiting for the call of the giants.
Unfortunately, the ancestor of the Tian family waited for the Qin Dynasty to destroy Han Dynasty. Seeing that he was already in twilight years, in order not to let the Mo family skills be lost, he could only edit the skills into a book... Since then, the Mo family skills have been passed down from generation to generation in the Tian family, and until the Tian Qi generation, it has been hundreds of years...
Although Tian Qi looked rough, he was very restrained. At this time, he was also very confused because there were seven works recognized by the Juwu Foundation this time, and his waterwheel was only ranked third.
"Senior Brother, the number one Hu Laizi doesn't have any skills at all. His seeds were still built by someone. Although Li Fang invited him, he did not promise any position... It would be different for you. You have real skills, otherwise Li Fang would not dare to appoint you as a manager for Muzhu without authorization."
"Yes, senior brother, the second-place girl is already the manager of the papermaking workshop. She will not go to the Gewu workshop to work. You deserve this manager."
When Tian Qi heard this, he showed a bitter smile on his face and said angrily: "You have seen the seed sowing machine and the printing paper. We don't understand the printing paper, let's not talk about it for now, but that seed sowing machine... We have been dealing with wood for more than ten years, but who has ever thought of making such a simple utensil?"
"This..." Several brothers looked at each other. In fact, the moment they saw the seed sowing machine, they also had this idea. They were all skilled and were not as useful as a lazy farmer. How could this not make people feel ashamed? After all, they could make a lot of seed sowing machine in minutes, but unfortunately they didn't have that idea.
The youngest junior brother frowned. Seeing that several of his senior brothers were in a misunderstanding, he hurriedly reached out and patted the table, and encouraged him: "Senior brothers, it's not the time for us to be crazy. We missed the seedling machine, but farming is not just about sowing. In addition to the waterwheels that water crops, there are also plow rakes that plow the ground, hoes that hoes that hoe, harvest sickles, and unshelled wooden pounds. These are the directions we are studying?"
"..." Tian Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at each other with his junior brothers. Their eyes were full of vitality: "Yes, my junior brother is right. We can also transform plows, hoes, sickles, and wooden pounds... No, not only these, but also..."
"Wooden bow!"
"Wooden boat!"
"Wood footsteps!"
"Wood……"
Several brothers encouraged each other and expressed their opinions, and the atmosphere on the tea table became instantly active.
Of course, in this huge Shuofang, there are countless people who have the same ideas. After all, even a lazy farmer can win an award. Even if an ordinary person does not have the skills, his thoughts are full of ideas in his mind are not limited to careers.
The strategic significance of Xi Yunfei's establishment of the Gewu Foundation is still fermenting, and even slowly extending to the Tang Dynasty, Turks, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun... and other countries, laying the foundation for their persistence in the future talent reserve.
