Forced to farm for the princess

Chapter 43 Casting Furnace

Wei Ruojin didn't bother, the expressions of these people were the same, they were numb, more like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.Butler Shang turned around and saw him coming, and hurriedly saluted.

"I've seen you, son, do you want to pick a craftsman now?"

"I heard that the craftsmen have arrived, so I came to see them. Why are these craftsmen..." Wei Ruojin didn't know how to describe these people,

"Don't worry, my lord, they've been driving for a long time, and it'll be fine when they settle down." This is nothing in Shang Guanjia's eyes. This group of people really looks sloppy, but they will be fine after taking a bath and resting .

"In this case, my son will come back tomorrow." Wei Ruojin said before leaving.

Qin Chong suddenly said: "Young Master must not have asked us to come and see the craftsmen. You have something to do, but follow orders."

Wei Ruojin suddenly understood why Lin Heng, who was almost useless like Qin Chong, was kept in the mansion. Qin Chong must have helped him a lot before he was injured.

Wei Ruojin smiled, and said: "With Mr. Qin's words, I feel at ease." Turning to Butler Shang, he said, "I heard that how many carpenters have come?"

Butler Shang asked several carpenters to stand up, an old man with gray hair and beard led a middle-aged man, followed by three boys.

"Master Hui, these five people are carpenters."

Wei Ruojin looked him up and down, and said, "What I need you to do is very simple, it should be easy for you guys."

He explained the principle of movable type printing, which is very easy to understand. After speaking, he looked at several carpenters and asked, "Do you understand?"

"The little ones understood what the young master said, but the little ones can't read..." The old carpenter said tremblingly.

"Mr. Qin said just now that he wanted to help me, but I don't know if it's true." Wei Ruojin looked at Qin Chong with a smile.

"Of course it's true. I don't know what the young master wants to engrave these words for, and why do you want to engrave them backwards?" Qin Chong thought for a long time, but really couldn't figure it out.

"It's going to be printed. This is because I was tired of writing a book for Tom before. I just remembered the method I saw in a book before. Let's try it. However, this method is still missing something, and it will take a while. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do well.”

"Rubbing?" Qin Chong immediately thought of this, but what Wei Ruojin said was obviously not the case.

"Almost, I wonder if Mr. Qin is willing to help?"

"My son's words, I will naturally obey."

Wei Ruojin was very satisfied, "You guys are tired from the journey, let's rest for a few days, and if you need anything, let the housekeeper tell you. Mr. Lao Qin is here."

Then, he looked at Chen Hang again and asked, "Are you going to follow Tang Mo or Mr. Qin?"

Chen Hang didn't expect that Wei Ruojin would ask him, but is there any difference between being next to Tang Mo and Mr. Qin?

No, there is a difference, at least with Tomer, he doesn't have to endure these slaves and untouchables.

"Follow Mr. Mo."

Wei Ruojin didn't say anything, but gave Butler Shang a few words of advice, and then went back to the yard.Qin Chong separated from them in the garden, saying that he was going back to get ready.

"Master, it's still early, and I want to go to the medicine hall to have a look." Tang Mo also proposed to leave, but Wei Ruojin didn't stop him, and began to think about how long it would be enough for Tom to learn.

Back in the room, knowing that the cicadas outside didn't affect Wei Ruojin at all, she washed her face with warm water and fell asleep leaning against the couch.

When I woke up again, the sky was already full of sunset clouds, and it was as red as fire.Wei Ruojin slept soundly this time, accompanied by the evening breeze, which made her feel refreshed.

"Xin Yi, is the prince back yet?"

"Back to the son, the prince has not yet returned to the mansion."

Wei Ruojin's heart skipped a beat, afraid that the Chen family would stop Lin Heng halfway and force him to pass him by, and then thought, Lin Heng would not do such a thing, the Chen family would not do such a thing, even if they prided themselves on being a family. Extraordinary things.

It was not so easy for Lin Heng to start using Chen Wei, even the matter he gave Chen Wei before, he didn't mention it; Chen Wei probably understood, and went back to Chen's house.

Until the night, Lin Heng still hadn't come back. Wei Ruojin thought about it, and the casting and making work was not in a hurry. There happened to be more than 20 blacksmiths, and some generals were transferred. These things should be easy to make. When he was about to take a break, there was a sudden shout from outside the door.

"What's going on?" Wei Ruojin put on her clothes, opened the door and saw Chen Hang kneeling outside the door, tears streaming down her face.

"My lord, please save my elder brother!"

Wei Ruojin's expression changed, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother was injured. He passed out on the couch and was hot all over." Chen Hang knew that Wei Ruojin had rescued the villagers of Wujing Village and followed Tang Mo, and he also knew that he had abandoned his identity as a wizard and switched to Wei Ruojin. Study medicine under the door.

So, when he woke up in the middle of the night and found that Chen Wei was hot all over and couldn't wake up, he panicked.

Wei Ruojin got dressed, asked Xin Yi to take his medicine, and asked the servant to inform Tang Mo by the way, and followed Chen Hang to their yard.

Chen Wei's face was flushed now, his lips were so dry that he was lying on the bed.

"What's going on?" Wei Ruo Ruojin lifted his eyelids to look, and got on his pulse again.

Chen Hang said with a twitch: "Brother went home today and was punished by the family law. At night, something was wrong with him. He kept saying that he was fine, but I didn't take it to heart. How could I know..." He said , almost cried aloud.

"How could they know that they wanted my brother's life?"

It was indeed a death blow. Seeing Tang Mo coming in from the corner of the eye, he asked him to find the wound medicine and prescribed a prescription for reducing fever. "You are in charge of decocting this medicine. Decoct three bowls of water to half a bowl, and then feed him to drink." Wei Ruojin urged.

Fortunately, there are medicines in the palace. In his spare time, Wei Ruojin always makes some pills and sends them to the barracks. Some pills are more effective than medicine powders.

Soon Tang Mo grabbed the medicine and came over, and after Wei Ruojin nodded his head, he boiled the medicine on the small stove in the corridor.After the medicine is ready, feed it to Chen Wei.

"Master, can I feel his pulse?" Tang Mo handed the medicine to Chen Hang, and asked Wei Ruojin with a bow.

"Go ahead, think about it again, I asked you to grab these medicines, and everyone's physique is different, so the potency of the medicines used is also different."

Chen Hang put down the medicine bowl and knelt down in front of Wei Ruojin, "Thank you for saving my brother."

Wei Ruojin waved her hand, "I'm a doctor. It's my duty to save people. No matter who I meet, I will save them. After drinking this medicine, the fever will drop in the middle of the night. You need to drink it for three days."

"This medicine, three times a day, remember to wipe it. The weather is too hot, pay attention to cleanliness, don't let him wear clothes, take good care of him, he is young and healthy, and he will be alive and kicking after a while."

"Chen Hang remembered it, thank you son." Chen Hang forced a kowtow before getting up.

Fortunately, I slept a lot that afternoon, so I'm not sleepy this time, but I can sit with him for a while. After getting his pulse, Tomer sat aside and pondered the prescription he prescribed.

Wei Ruojin really wanted to say, silly boy, I just read the basics of traditional Chinese medicine, what can I tell from this prescription?But hold back.

Wei Ruojin was woken up by Xin Yi, the sun was already high, and he fell asleep lying on the table, even Tom Mo was listless, only Chen Hang had a hint of joy on his face.

"The heat has subsided?"

"Yes, thanks to the son."

"That's fine, my lord will go back first, just eat some light food." Wei Ruojin yawned, went back to the main courtyard, and took another nap.

It was hot, and he woke up after not sleeping for a long time. Lin Heng hadn't come back yet, Xin Yi asked him if he wanted to send someone to look for him, but Wei Ruojin refused.

He asked to find a map again, looked around, and shook his head; the casting furnace built on the cloth Qin Chong gave was not small, and he didn't want to put it in a place with too many people, but he was the only one in a place with few people. Purchased Pinghe Town.

But Pinghe Town is too close to Ranjue, almost driving straight in, and the food is nothing, but the casting furnace will be taken by Ranjue, and that is the worst.

After much deliberation, Wei Ruojin still felt that it would be best to keep this thing under his nose, but before that, he needed to meet those blacksmiths. After all, there are specialties in art, and what he thinks is suitable is not necessarily suitable. .

Soon, Butler Shang gathered the people in the front hall. Wei Ruojin glanced at them casually. These people were much cleaner. Except for the carpenter who didn't come, the faces of the others were still as numb as ever.

Such people, Wei Ruojin thinks that they will not believe the reason, it is better to be more direct, "Northwest wants to build casting furnaces to produce the most powerful weapons, armor, and farm tools. I want you to do your best. Those who perform well can be granted good status and good land, even if their performance is mediocre, they can satisfy you in the Northwest Palace, as long as you let me see the value."

The craftsmen were still numb, and no one said anything.

"Where is the casting furnace suitable? Answers will be rewarded." Wei Ruojin raised her voice with obvious anger.

The craftsman moved, and finally someone stood up and said: "Young Master, you can build it wherever you think it is suitable. There is no specific place. It's just that this casting furnace is always on fire, so it should not be too close to human settlements."

"Shang Butler." Wei Ruojin signaled, and Shang Butler immediately gave the person who answered the question a piece of silver.Immediately aroused a murmur among the artisans.

Wei Ruojin originally planned to build the casting furnace near the coal mine, where Lin Heng's soldiers guarded it, so it should be safer; but what the man said just now reminded him that this is not suitable.

"Young Master, there is a valley three hours away from Xinglin City. There is almost no grass growing in that valley, and there are no people there. Because there is no one there, when the general first came to buy the land, he also bought it." Shang Butler Only then did she know what Wei Ruojin was going to do, so she said it quickly.

"How does Butler Shang know?" Wei Ruojin was very curious. Butler Shang knew something he didn't know even less than when he went out.

Butler Shang chuckled, "I've also heard people say that the brothers in the mansion like to run outside when they are free."

Wei Ruojin didn't ask any more questions, he would never go out if he could, especially on such a hot day. "Then go and have a look tomorrow, and if it's suitable, build a furnace there."

It will take three hours to get out of the city, so naturally we have to build a house there, otherwise all the time will be spent on the road.

The next morning, Lin Heng still didn't come back, Wei Ruojin left a letter and led him down to the valley at the home of the familiar road.

The valley is very big, just like Shang Guanjia said, except for a few scattered trees on the top of the mountain, there is almost no green, and even the grass is pitiful.

He twirled the soil on the ground, how could it not even grow grass?

I couldn't think of the reason for a while, so I asked people to start digging. In addition to building the furnace, they also needed to build a house for the craftsmen, because it would be very hot to live here.
