Chapter nine hundred and eighty seventh: the thoughts of the lunatics

There is another place for the madmen in Jin Jingnan's mouth to be specially designed for their research and rest. Although they are called madmen, Jin Jingnan actually attaches great importance to them. As the first county magistrate who grew up with Taiping County, he clearly knew that Taiping County can have today, which is closely related to the whimsical ideas and continuous experiments of these madmen. It is precisely in the repeated failures that these people lined up the wrong options one by one, and finally found a correct path, making the iron and steel smelting level of Daye City unique to the world.

These people, without exception, were all great craftsmen who received the honor of the Ming Dynasty and were all members of the Ming official system. Their salary was several times higher than that of officials of the same level as them, because in addition to their salary, they also had great craftsmen's allowances. Apart from these compensations from the court, Taiping County also gave these great craftsmen extremely high subsidies.

Jin Jingnan had only one idea to never let these masters be disturbed by some common things, and there is nothing that money can't solve for ordinary common things. What he needed was that these masters devoted themselves to their research without distraction.

The upper reaches of Daye City is a dam built artificially. A huge reservoir is the source of power for Daye City's water and huge workshops. Going downstream, the pollution will be more serious. However, above the reservoir is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. The research institutes of these masters are located upstream of the reservoir.

Since Jin Jingnan said that, Qin Feng was very interested in meeting the so-called madmen. Craftsmen were profoundly changing the era of the city. Qin Feng was very well aware of this. Putting aside the achievements of iron smelting and steelmaking and military affairs, in the Ming Dynasty, the farmers also tried their best to increase the yield of crops. Qin Feng heard that some farmers crossed pollen from different crops to increase their yields, hoping to get a new and higher-yield food. Some farmers grafted two different fruit trees, hoping to get sweeter fruits. Under Shu Chang's leadership, the medical officers had already spread surgery in the Ming Dynasty as a open discipline. In order to conduct his medical research, Shu Chang hid in Qin Feng's military camp. As long as there was a war, the guy would dance excitedly.

In short, in the Ming Dynasty, everyone wants to create something new of their own. As long as they succeed, they will immediately turn over and serfs to sing, fame, status, and money.

So far, except for Shu Chang's medical skills, other innovations have basically failed, but they are not unsuccessful. At least in Changyang County, Ma Xiangnan brought good news to Qin Feng. A farmer successfully grafted the plum tree onto the peach tree to survive, and the fruits produced in the end were larger than the previous plums and sweeter and juicier. Now Changyang County is vigorously promoting this technology. It is expected that in three years, this brand new plum will be launched in large quantities.

In Nan's expectation, this latest fruit tree product that is destined to be sold at a high price will make the taxes of Changyang County a lot of money. With this successful experience, Ma Xiangnan even allocated a considerable amount of money from the already tight financial funds, which was used to reward the achievements of the agricultural official, and to encourage him to continue to work hard to produce more new fruits. Now this grafting technology has begun to become popular in Changyang County. Farmers responsible for fruit tree production must master this technology.

Dreams always have to be there, and maybe when will they succeed? This is the most popular saying among the people of the Ming Dynasty.

While thinking about this sentence, Qin Feng walked along the dam. He refused Jin Jingnan's proposal to notify these craftsmen in advance. As an emperor, his attitude of respecting wise men can sometimes arouse others' gratitude and satisfaction more than any reward. This is a truth that he realized after becoming emperor.

At the right time, place, and face the right people, you will have unexpected gains when lowering your attitude appropriately. In this regard, he has had countless successful experiences, and now he is familiar with such things. And this initial suggestion is the teaching of his wife Min Ruoxi.

Min Ruoxi's knowledge of how to become a qualified emperor is more than one or two higher than Qin Feng. Princess Zhaohua, born as an emperor, has heard of these tricks since she was a child. She really did it with no trace of fireworks.

Whenever Qin Feng began to prepare to perform these tricks, he always remembered the scene when he first met Min Ruoxi. Princess Zhaohua, who was floating in white, flew up to the top of the flagpole and put down Yang Zhi. At that time, Yang Zhi was being made to death by himself. Princess Zhaohua first cut a strand of his hair, then cut his arm and let blood splatter on the flag of the landed camp. At that time, Qin Feng remembered very clearly that thousands of people from the camp were also excited? Even if he thought it was an honor to die for such a royal family, he would have felt that it was a blessing to die?

Thinking about it now, Min Ruoxi's actions at that time were also considered one of these methods.

A little coolness suddenly splashed on his face. Qin Feng looked up. At some point, the sky was covered with thick clouds. The sunny weather was just about to come in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, this is the case in the mountains. The weather changes are always caught off guard, but I have prepared a lot." Jin Jingnan waved his hand, and some servants had already brought oil clothes on. "Your Majesty, this is a standard raincoat prepared by Taiping City for the army. It is thin but strong. It can shelter from wind and rain on rainy days and can also be spread on the ground to sleep. His material can isolate moisture and prevent soldiers from getting sick."

Just as I put on my oil-coat, the heavy rain had come suddenly, and the sky was suddenly white.

"Your Majesty, this kind of rain is commonly known as running storm here. It comes quickly but also quickly, and it usually doesn't last long." Jin Jingnan introduced: "It just gets extremely fierce at once. Your Majesty, let's go there!"

"Okay, go to the place where those lunatics are and see how they are going crazy!" Qin Feng laughed loudly. With such a big storm, he came to his door in person. This attitude of respecting wise men and valuing craftsmen is even more valuable.

With a stick of incense, everyone arrived outside the courtyard, which covers a large area. The rain was indeed as Jin Jingnan said, coming quickly and going quickly. When Qin Feng and his group arrived outside the courtyard, it turned into drizzle. However, the moment just now, it was indeed very fierce. Although everyone was wearing oily clothes, their boots and trousers were still stained by the splashed mud.

There is a row of bungalows next to this courtyard, which is a military camp. Outside the gate of this courtyard, the two soldiers standing with their knives were already wet, but they were still standing there like sculptures. Just as Qin Feng was watching them, another group of patrol soldiers came over from the back of the courtyard in neat formations. Similarly, their bodies were already wet. Seeing this group of people, an officer had already greeted him.

"Your Majesty, the people living in this yard are all people who have great offerings to Daye City. So after talking to General Lu Yifan, the commander of the Houtu Camp, transferred a sentry soldier to station here to protect the safety of these craftsmen." Jin Jingnan explained: "Qi Chu and others also know the reason why our Ming Dynasty's military equipment was better than them. They will definitely attack Daye City, and craftsmen are their first target. Therefore, in addition to the secret protection of the Eagle Nest, I am not afraid of the greatest malice to try to capture them. There is a sentry army here. As long as they don't want to die, they will not disturb our craftsmen."

"Not bad, very good." Qin Feng looked at the soldiers who were still meticulous in the storm, and nodded repeatedly in admiration: "It seems that Lu Yifan has changed a lot. Not only is he a lucky general, but he is also a good general now. Ah, Jingnan, you were right just now. We must protect these craftsmen."

One of Qin Feng's guards blocked the officer on duty who was about to come up to ask. The officer obviously recognized Jin Jingnan, so he glanced at this side for a few times, nodded repeatedly, and retreated.

Jin Jingnan took the lead, stepped up the steps, and walked in through the wide open courtyard gate.

"Dear adults, Mr. Jin is visiting!" Standing in the yard, Jin Jingnan shouted with a smile.

With his shouts, each room first poked his head out, and after a glance at Jin Jingnan, some smiled and greeted him, while others just glanced at him, then retracted and did their own things.

However, these craftsmen cannot recognize Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's attention at this time was not on these craftsmen, but stared at the ground curiously. Outside, it was muddy because of the heavy rain, but the yard was spotless and gray, and the ground seemed to be cleaner because of the rain.

It is not the paved stone slab. There must be a gap between the stone slabs, but the gray ground in front of you is integrated. When you step on it, you can feel his hardness.

Qin Feng squatted down and reached out to knock. The sound was dull and solid. He reached out to take off the waist knife of the guard beside him, and waved the knife a few times, but the ground didn't move at all.
