- The two of them led Zhao Hao to the well in the northwest corner of the backyard.
Zhao Shizhen opened a thick quilt wrapped around the well, and a familiar thing came into Zhao Hao's eyes.
¡°Hand pump!¡±
Zhao Hao whistled happily, pressed the handle of the water pump with skillful hands, and with a few clicks, he pumped up the well water more than two feet deep. Water gurgled out from the faucet connected to the pump.
The water lifting device, minus the steam engine part, changed from automatic to manual, and it is no different from the hand pump used to draw water in rural areas in later generations.
"Master has indeed known this for a long time"
Zhang Jian¡¯s self-confidence took a small blow.
He originally planned to demonstrate it to his master to prove that he would not hold him back
Zhang Jian is actually the one with the highest combined quotient among all the disciples Even if his fellow disciples didn't reveal it through word of mouth, he can clearly feel that his sect attaches great importance to the imperial examination.
In Zhang Jian¡¯s view, this is not surprising.
He feels that Master wants to establish the image of scientists as elites. If all his disciples can become Jinshi in high school, it will naturally be the most convincing¡ª¡ª
"After all, in this Ming Dynasty, if you can't even read the Four Books and Five Classics well, and you still say that you are an elite, you will be laughed at by others But I have that damn problem. As long as I stay in the school for one day, my ideal of having all my scientific students become Jinshi will never be realized.
Therefore, he increasingly wanted to prove himself elsewhere. Instead of taking the imperial examination, he could also add glory to the school.
Who would have thought that the invention he worked so hard on was the remnants of his master's long play.
"You can think of changing the water lifting device to manual without my prompting, and create a practical machine." Zhao Hao seemed to be aware of his frustration, patted the sixth disciple's shoulder encouragingly and said:
¡°What a fucking genius!¡±
Although Zhang Jian heard a vulgar remark, it was as if he heard the voice of a fairy. I feel like my whole body is energetic all of a sudden!
"Thank you, Master, I will continue to work hard!"
"Um."
Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shizhen again. Only his ingenious nephew could use a bunch of common materials to create a perfect Newcomen machine model.
She also smiled and encouraged him: "You are good too!"
The eldest nephew was immediately happy.

Before dinner, Sun Dawu and Guo Da came together.
Usually, the two of them take turns to report.
¡°But these days, Zhao Hao is in retreat with his father and hasn¡¯t seen anyone for more than 20 days. Unexpectedly, the two of them ran together as soon as they came out of seclusion.
"You two have quite good noses." After the two kowtowed to say hello, Zhao Hao greeted them to the Kang and said, "You haven't eaten yet. Come, sit down and eat some together."
"There is no place for us to eat in front of the young master." The two of them quickly declined.
Zhao Hao didn¡¯t force it anymore.
Well, rules are a good thing, don¡¯t break them easily.
He took the rice porridge from Zhao Shouzheng, blew the hot air gently, and asked, "What good thing is this? You two are so happy that your mouths are split to the back of your head."
"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you, sir." Sun Dawu said with a beaming smile, "Today is the day that our coal yard officially opens for one month."
"Sold for twenty-eight days." Guo Dacheng added quickly.
"Really? I've even forgotten about this." Zhao Hao asked lightly while drinking the fragrant porridge: "How are the results?"
"I'm just here to announce the good news to the young master." Sun Dawu quickly took out the coal yard's ledger from his arms, handed it to Zhao Hao with both hands and said, "I have calculated it several times, and the appointment is correct."
Zhao Hao nodded, picked up a pair of crispy red pickles with chopsticks and said, "Tell me."
"Yes, young master." Sun Dawu swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice while suppressing his excitement:
"This month, not counting fractions, I received a total of 123,210 taels of silver and 28,790,000 jins of coal. After deducting various expenses such as wages for workers, coal purchases, and household chores, etc. , a total profit of thirty-two thousand two hundred taels, young master"
"Young master, I have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I heard that there is such a profitable business!" Guo Daye flattered him at the right time: "Young master is really a god! You are the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!"
"No, the God of Wealth is also named Zhao." Sun Dawu and Guo Dayi sang together, making Zhao Hao very happy, but he still had to pretend to be calm in front of the people below:
"That's because you are ignorant."??In the southeast, there are businesses that are more profitable than dumping coal. "
"Anyway, I have never seen anything north of the Yangtze River!" Sun Dawu's cheeks trembled with excitement: "Even if the price of the Lugouqiao Coal Field is included in the cost, the young master will make back his money in one month! God, it's amazing!"
Zhao Haoxin said, I once returned to my hometown. Of course, a small business like Weiji Xian cannot be compared with such a large industry that is both capital and labor intensive.
Even if he can only share half of the net profit of 30,000 taels, it would still be 15,000 taels. He can only get 10,000 taels a year if the taste is extremely delicious. In this comparison, it is indeed a small business.
Mr. Zhao thought happily, now the garden of Xiaocang Mountain can be built into a palace in the sky and a fairyland on earth
"Moreover, this is the result of sales being halved due to transportation restrictions in the first half of the year. Xiao Xiao and Lao Sun estimate that if the production capacity is increased next month and the transportation capacity is fully utilized, they may be able to earn 50,000 taels! "
Zhao Shizhen, who was waiting on the side, was stunned. Although he is not interested in doing business, he has been exposed to it from his uncle since he was a child, and he also knows the concept of making fifty thousand taels a month.
His uncle¡¯s fireworks shop can¡¯t make more than fifty taels a month. That business is already quite prosperous
At this moment, the eldest nephew¡¯s ears kept thinking about his uncle¡¯s words, ¡®I am not here to make money¡¯
If you focus solely on making money, you will have to make one hundred thousand taels a month, right?
??~~
"Okay, okay." Zhao Hao was tired of hearing the endless flattery from the two of them, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't look like you have no future. I said, I am doing this business"
"It's not for making money!" Sun Dawu and Guo Da said in unison: "Otherwise, we can make even more!"
"Uh, don't say things like that in the future. It sounds like you deserve a beating" Zhao Hao felt embarrassed himself, rubbed his nose and laughed.
The two stewards naturally started laughing too.
"Okay, you two have made great contributions." Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "Each person will be rewarded with 800 taels, and then take another 600 taels and distribute them to the stewards below. I will say that I will reward you extra."
At this time, it doesn¡¯t matter whether the imperial store is still a private store. After making money, the owner probably has to follow industry rules and use about half of the profit to reward his employees This is what Zhao Hao did at Weijixian.
This time, the figure given by Zhao Hao was slightly more than half, and it was based on huge profits. The two of them were naturally overjoyed and happily thanked the young master for the reward.
In this way, they are neither greedy nor shady. As long as they work hard, their annual income will exceed 10,000 taels. Already almost the same as the superior Ji Sizheng
Thinking of this, the two of them, who were worried about their fate a month ago, were so happy that they almost fainted.
¡°As everyone knows, Ji Sizheng¡¯s current income far exceeds this amount
