Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Mr. Qiao took Cheng Yu over to go over the drawings briefly, and Cheng Yu was amazed repeatedly during the process.

Even though he could not fully appreciate some of the details, he vaguely understood that if he and his master could build this textile loom, their lives might undergo tremendous changes.

Those who work as carpenters know that in the process of making tools, the most important thing in the detailed drawing is the measurement of the length of wood and the cutting and splicing of the shape.

If there is any tiny detail that is not perfectly matched, the resulting tool will be a thousand miles away from the intended destination.

However, this drawing not only marks the amount and usage of different types of wood, but also the length and width values ​​of the wood are extremely accurate.

Not only that, the cartographer also carefully outlined the common mistakes and solutions.

Therefore, even if the person holding the blueprint does not ask them to manufacture it, but instead asks other carpenters with some experience, that person will be able to build the textile machine by feeling his way forward based on the blueprint.

It feels like when you cry out for food, someone feeds you; when you stretch out your hand, someone gives you money.

This was such a good thing, and it was something they were good at, so the master and the apprentice immediately got itchy and wanted to start planing wood on the spot.

Elder Qiao held the blueprint in his hand, reluctant to let go, and said to Shen Zheng:

"Girl, how long do you need this loom? I can start working today!"

Shen Zheng frowned slightly, revealing an embarrassment: "Mr. Qiao, I have another request, I hope you will consider it."

All Mr. Qiao is thinking about now is the blueprint in his hand. He feels that no request is more important than starting to create something.

He said proudly: "What's the point of asking or not? Just tell me what you want to say, little girl!"

Shen Zheng and Xu Zhubu looked at each other and spoke:

"You also know how important this blueprint is. I originally planned to gather people to work on it as soon as you built the textile machine, but you are in Liuyang Prefecture and I am in Tongan County. I can't be sure of your progress. I am afraid that it will be delayed."

After she finished speaking, she saw the look of approval on Old Qiao's face, knowing that there was hope, and continued:

"And you have also seen the size of the textile machine on the drawing. If you make it in Liuyang Prefecture, it will be a problem how to transport such a large object to Tongan County, so..."

"Ah!" Old Qiao slammed the table and interrupted Shen Zheng's words.

He thought it was something else, wasn't it just that they wanted him to follow them back to Tongan County?

"You little girl, you speak in a flowery way. At first I thought I had to pay you out of my own pocket!"

Shen Zheng was stunned. Mr. Qiao's thinking was really different from that of ordinary people.

He continued, "You just want me to go back with you! After I pack up my tools, we'll leave today. I'll have to be treated to good food and wine when I get back!"

Shen Zheng didn't expect that he would agree so immediately, and she responded quickly with joy.

"Don't worry, the cooking skills of our county chef are quite good, right, Master Xu?"

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Xu Zhubu, who nodded seriously: "It's on par with Brother Cheng's craftsmanship."

When Mr. Qiao heard this, he immediately folded the drawings in his hand, put them into a wooden box, and handed it to Shen Zheng.

"Keep the baby girl first, and give it to me when we get there."

After he finished speaking, he walked into the house. Shen Zheng vaguely heard him muttering in a low voice: "Finally, I can change my taste."

Cheng Yu: “…”, who understands a broken heart.

Seeing Old Qiao going back to his room to pack his things, Shen Zheng thought about going to the inn with Xu Zhubu first to bring Zhuifeng over, and then Old Qiao and the others could put their tools directly on the carriage.

She informed Cheng Yu and left the courtyard with Xu Zhubu.

......

When the two were preparing to take Zhuifeng away in the backyard of the inn, Zhuifeng kept looking at the uneaten bean feed in the trough and was reluctant to leave.

Shen Zheng was helpless. Sometimes it was not a good thing for a horse to be too smart.

In the end, it took a lot of effort for Xu Zhubu to drag Zhuifeng out of the courtyard.

They arrived at the alley entrance of Qiao's home and tied Zhuifeng to a tree trunk on the side of the road.

Shen Zheng looked back every few steps, a little worried: "After we go in, will someone steal Zhuifeng?"

Xu Zhubu looked back at Zhuifeng, shook his head and said, "No, Zhuifeng is very smart and will not be led away by others."

Shen Zheng thought so too. Horses are not like some dogs. They are friendly to everyone and will follow others when called.

A guy as big as Zhuifeng would be hard for a stranger to take him away if he didn't want to.

As soon as they pushed open the door of Mr. Qiao's house, they were shocked by his things.

There were so many saws. Shen Zheng looked carefully and saw that there were big saws, double saws, cutting saws, and hand saws.

Then there were all kinds of planes, including jointing planes, flat planes, cutting planes, and various other planes she didn't recognize.

Finally, there are a lot of tools such as squares, angle rulers, ink fountains, etc., which can be said to be complete.

Shen Zheng estimated the approximate weight of these tools and felt sorry for Zhuifeng.

Zhuifeng not only has to carry them, but also has to pull these tools back to Tongan County, so it must be exhausted.

At this time, Mr. Qiao was still moving various woods out of the house. Although there were only a few larger pieces of wood, the quantity was quite large.

What would happen if all these were put on the carriage?

She had no choice but to walk forward and ask, "Mr. Qiao, are all these woods needed to make textile machines?"

Old Qiao looked at the wood on the ground, thought for a moment and said:

"These are all the fine woods that the old man collected. I don't know if I can use some of them, but I'll take them all with me just in case!"

The fact that Mr. Qiao was able to take out all of his treasured wood showed that he attached great importance to the construction of the textile machine, and Shen Zheng could not say no.

Seeing that she was in a dilemma, Xu Zhubu said, "Let me go to the carriage shop and rent a cart to transport these items."

Shen Zheng's eyes lit up. Yes! They could rent another carriage. She was just thinking about chasing the wind.

"Go, go, go!"

She urged Xu Zhubu that he should not be so stingy with the money at this time as he was when he came here, and should just rent it!

......

In less than half an hour, Xu Zhubu arrived at the alley entrance with the rented carriage and the driver.

Old Qiao and Cheng Yu had packed up their belongings. Shen Zheng saw Xu Zhubu coming in, and said to Old Qiao, "Old Qiao, let's go."

Old Qiao turned his head and took a look at the courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years, and a sense of reluctance arose in his heart.

It would definitely take more than ten days or half a month to make the textile machine. It would probably take one or two months. He is over fifty years old and has never been away from home for so long.

Cheng Yu saw his emotions and comforted him:

"Master, I just gave a set of keys to Grandma Wang next door. She will come over to help us look after the house. Don't worry."

Grandma Wang was an old lady living alone in the yard next to theirs. She was a very kind-hearted person. When she heard that they were going on a long journey, she immediately agreed to help look after the house.

Old Qiao nodded, but he was unwilling to admit: "What are you worried about, old man? I just checked if the main room was locked!"
