Cheng Wenying said with a smile: "Fei is one of the officials who passed the exam. The wise minister managed the government cleanly. We, the people of Meizhou, are grateful. If we can't finish it with just money and affect the transfer, I will also feel sorry for the wise minister."

ah……"

Song Zhixian smiled bitterly and said: "That's it. No one has taken over the Meizhou wine business. As a magistrate, I have to personally take care of it. The government has spent money to buy several kilns of wine, but it can't be sold at all... It's really not possible.

The only way is to follow the example of other places and rigidly share this cost."

The county magistrate quickly waved his hand: "This is a bad policy. Chang Shi, this Meishan is no better than other places. If it is not handled well, the harm will be more serious than the failure of wine tasting."

After speaking, he offered his hand to Cheng Wenying: "Mr. Cheng asked about this today... Could it be that he intends to take over the official wine shop in the county?"

Cheng Wenying stroked his beard: "I have an idea. Since Meizhou is a prosperous place for business and travel, good wine will have a great impact on local wineries, but if our local wine can be one level higher than other wines, then what will happen?"

What's going on?"

Magistrate Song said: "What else is there to say? It's our turn to squeeze them! The old wise man only needs to contract out the winery and make wine using Jiang Qing's private brewing recipe. Then he won't have to worry about selling the wine! When the time comes,

Ah, haha, it’s my turn to turn a blind eye... If you ask me, questioning the law in Shu is nonsense in itself!"

Cheng Wenying raised his hand to stop him: "Chang Shi must be careful, you and I are not allowed to discuss the laws of the imperial court. We are always just dancing in the circles drawn by others."

After saying that, he shook his head, pondered for a while, and said: "I have to help Xian Changshi handle this situation. So, I will try it this year?"

Song Zhixian's eyes lit up: "Does Mr. Cheng mean what he said? Can this matter be settled before the court's Qiu Jue? Hehehehe, you know..."

Cheng Wenying said with a smile: "It's a grinding survey, right? The imperial court conducts surveys every three years, so it's about time. Well, I'll add another hundred guan to Chang Shi at a price of 600 guan. Xianling's political achievements are even better than last year's.

nice."

Song Zhixian was overjoyed and stood up and bowed repeatedly: "If I exert my strength again, I may have the opportunity to serve as the prefectural magistrate. I really want to thank the wise old man for his support."

Cheng Wenying smiled and said: "That's it, it's settled, but the Guanpu process has to be followed, and it cannot be based on the facts."

Magistrate Song humbly smiled and said: "That's natural. Don't worry, old wise man. This matter will be taken care of by the lower officials."

After leaving the county government, Su You had a deeper understanding of the local political power of the feudal dynasty.

At the county level, the power of the county magistrate was mostly attached to the local gentry.

Local gentry either have children working as officials outside, or they are retired officials themselves, monopolizing the local economy and controlling grassroots officials.

Theoretically, county magistrates are not allowed to serve as officials in their place of origin, so if they want to manage government affairs and serve the people, they must rely on local clans.

In this kind of political environment, those who can still make strong orders must be weird.

Either he is a great person or he is a bad person.

Those who can achieve this level without throwing themselves into the street are indeed worthy of special mention in the official history of each dynasty.

After coming out of the Yamen, Su You said goodbye to Cheng Wenying and Shi Dongxiu, and walked towards the blacksmith shop on the edge of the city.

The sprayer was in urgent need yesterday, and there are still a bunch of things to pick up today.

When we arrived at the blacksmith shop, the old man with strange eyes came up to us: "The young master is here?"

Su You then asked: "Uncle, are my things ready?"

The uncle replied: "It's already done. The thing is too weird. I have to wait for the young master to give me some guidance on how to assemble it."

After that, he took out a pile of copper parts.

The strange uncle said: "Sir, everything you asked for has been made, but there are a few parts that the shop can't do anything about."

Su You asked: "Where?"

Uncle Wei stretched out his hand and pointed. Su You immediately understood and said with a smile, "This is called a thread. I really need to think about how to do it."

After thinking about it, I asked the strange uncle to first use soft iron wire to file it into a fan-shaped iron wire, like a small blade.

Then cut off a section, with the blade facing outward, select a suitable thin steel rod, and wind it around it into the shape of a bolt.

Then take another section and wrap it around the outside of the bolt into the shape of a nut.

Then drive the nut off the bolt.

The strange uncle said: "Huh? This method is quite clever!"

Su You smiled and said: "I can only solve the problem of the thread openings, and use them to make the bolts and nuts on the drawing. This needs to be hardened, right?"

The strange uncle said: "No problem, for such a small thing, just use the covering needle method!"

Now it was Su You's turn to be shocked: "Uncle, do you even understand this?"

Uncle Wei was a little shy: "Otherwise, where do all the ladies in the city get their embroidery needles?"

Su You smiled and said: "Wait a minute, since you know this, let me draw another drawing."

I took out the tools from my schoolbag and quickly drew the drawings of two silk-cut knives.

In fact, it is very simple, just add a long horizontal handle to the outside of the bolt and nut, and use the lever principle to generate greater rotational force.

The thread drawing method of this drawing is accurate, and there are many parameters such as nominal diameter, lead, crest, base, rotation direction, etc.

The strange uncle then started to prepare weird formulas.

Su You was scratching his head as he looked at it. It was just a carbon infiltration. Why did he even use wood ash and soil powder? Wait, what are they? Dried beans or tempeh?

After stopping the strange uncle, Su You scraped some coal ash from under the stove, then added oil and mixed it into mud balls. He asked the strange uncle to wrap the bolts and nuts with the mud balls, fill the gaps, bake them dry, and then wrap them with fine pottery.

Seal it with mud, then stuff it into a charcoal fire to burn it.

After burning for a while, the pottery pellets were taken out and smashed. After cleaning, the wrought iron bolts and nuts had turned into carbon steel.

All that's left is the process, wrapping the bolts and nuts with cast iron and casting them into two tapping turning tools.

He found a copper rod and polished it to a suitable thickness. Uncle Wei's apprentice clamped it, and he personally put a nut on the copper rod and twisted it, and soon got a copper bolt.

Then find a copper plate, use a flower drill to drill a round hole, insert the steel bolt into the hole and rotate it, and you will get a nut.

The strange uncle put the copper nut and the copper bolt together, rotated them gently, and the nut was gradually inserted into the bolt.

The strange uncle grinned: "My sister-in-law's fantastic ideas are really amazing."

Su You was applauding the strange uncle for his skills. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be puzzled: "What little brother-in-law?"

The strange uncle quickly shook his head and changed the subject: "Ah? Young Master! Young Master, this thing is exquisite, but what is its use?"

Su You thought for a while and said, "Let me draw another drawing for you. Whether it can be done depends on your skills."

After a while, a drawing of a vise appeared on the paper.

With threads, the work of fitter could barely be born from this blacksmith shop.

Su You spent a lot of time explaining the working principle of the vise to Uncle Wei, and then drew an upgraded version of this vise. In addition to being able to clamp, it could also adjust the angle of the object being clamped.

Loosen the bolt to remove the object and adjust the angle; tighten the bolt to clamp the object and fix the angle.

After thinking about it, Su You designed another knife sharpener.

The knife sharpener is a small iron plate connected by a long iron bar to an upright iron shaft, so that the small iron plate can move back and forth in a fan-shaped area.

The height of the iron bar can also be adjusted on the iron shaft through bolts.

Therefore, you only need to make the jaws of the vise horizontal, clamp the blade horizontally to the vise, let the sharpener hold a thin whetstone at a certain angle with the blade, and push the sharpener back and forth to grind the angle.

Precise edge line.

The strange uncle looked at the drawing of the knife sharpener and frowned: "It does look convenient, but the iron bar of this knife sharpener is too short and can only grind an arc blade..."

Su You smiled and said: "This is just a drawing. It cannot be that long. You can lengthen the iron bar to the extent you want. Just make sure that the tip of the knife to the end is within the range of the grindstone."

"You see, all the adjustments on the vise and sharpener are done with nuts and bolts."

Uncle Wei nodded repeatedly: "That's indeed the truth..."

After saying that, he knelt down with a plop: "Master, please bow to me, my disciple!"

Su You was shocked. How could the protagonist in the time-travel novel be possessed by a halo, and the trick of worshiping an outstanding person after being admired was applied to him?!
