Chapter 196 Miss Shen, what kind of weapon is this?
Shen Ziqian followed behind Shen Ruolan and said seriously, "Sister Lan, what I said is true. As for asking for advice, I don't dare to accept it."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said with some self-blame: "Before this, I really didn't succeed in saving a single woman with an abnormal fetal position or severe dystocia."
As they walked, Shen Ruolan said to Shen Ziqian, "If you are interested in women's difficult labor, I will write a note for you later."
"In that case, thank you very much, Sister Lan." When Shen Ziqian heard that Shen Ruolan wanted to give him something, he responded in a good mood.
Shen Ruolan and her cousin were walking and chatting. When they returned home, they saw Bai Zhen waiting for her in the yard. She hurriedly stepped forward and said to him, "Bai Zhen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Bai Zhen touched his head and said to Shen Ruolan with a smile: "Miss Shen, saving people is the most important thing. I am not in a hurry."
Shen Ruolan nodded to him and said, "Come in, have breakfast before leaving."
"Hey" After Bai Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Ziqian behind Shen Ruolan and followed in silently.
Because of the appearance of Jiang Dichen, Bai Zhen now dared not have any thoughts about Shen Ruolan, for fear that he would be skinned alive by Jiang Dichen's men.
Because Shen Jing told him that Miss Shen was surrounded by secret guards left by the prince, and anyone who dared to be disrespectful to her or have any other ulterior motives would be severely retaliated against.
Breakfast in the mountains is as simple as ever, a bowl of white porridge and a simple dish of stir-fried vegetables.
After Shen Ruolan finished her breakfast, she called Bai Zhen to her warehouse, handed him a few blueprints and said, "Bai Zhen, these are the blueprints for the plow and harrow. Go back and ask your father to make about five of each. After a month, make sure all of them are delivered to Fuzhai so that everyone can use them for planting rice."
Bai Zhen took the blueprint and took a look at it, then said to Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, there shouldn't be any problem with this."
The plow and harrow are not difficult to make. Five a month should be able to be delivered.
After Shen Ruolan finished explaining the plowing and harrowing, she handed him a few blueprints and said to him seriously, "These are blueprints for making weapons, including a bow and a crossbow. Ask your father to make them as soon as possible and produce as many as possible."
Bai Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard Shen Ruolan was going to make a weapon, but he quickly came back to his senses and looked carefully at the drawings Shen Ruolan gave him. He knew about bows, but after seeing the crossbow, he asked Shen Ruolan excitedly, "Miss Shen, what kind of weapon is this? Is it powerful?"
He loved weapons the most, but his father was afraid that he would cause trouble everywhere, so he gave him nothing except a big knife for self-defense.
Shen Ruolan told Bai Zhen truthfully: "These are bows and crossbows. As for their power, they have their own strengths. How powerful they are depends on when they were made. Ask your father to strictly follow my requirements..."
When Shen Ruolan said this, her expression suddenly changed, and she sternly warned Bai Zhen: "Remember, this matter must be kept secret by your father. No one except the person who participated in the creation is allowed to reveal a single word. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be a price that you and I cannot afford."
If the news that she was making weapons got out, people from the Xia Kingdom would probably come knocking on her door within a few days, so this matter had to be kept secret.
Bai Zhen naturally understood the seriousness of this matter. He said to Shen Ruolan with a serious look on his face, "Yes, Miss Shen, I will definitely tell my father the truth."
Shen Ruolan took out a stack of silver notes and handed them to Bai Zhen, saying, "Well, this is two thousand taels of silver notes. Take it back to your father first. When the things come out in the future, I will calculate the exact amount of silver when I come back."
Bai Zhen took the banknote and said, "Yes, Miss Shen."
Shen Ruolan thought for a while, and seeing that there was nothing else to say, she said to Bai Zhen, "Get ready to set off. You and Shen Jing must guard the mountain well while I'm away."
"Miss Shen, please rest assured, we will definitely protect Fu Village." After Bai Zhen finished speaking, he said goodbye to Shen Ruolan and left.
After Bai Zhen left, Shen Ruolan instructed Aunt He, "Aunt He, there is a woman who has just given birth in the kitchen. If you have eggs, give her two a day, and 20 kilograms of rice, and let her cook for herself."
He Gu bowed to her master and replied, "Yes, Master."
Shen Ruolan took care of the family matters and took Ji Ning down the mountain to check on her pepper seedlings, and Mu Jin also went with them.
Shen Ruolan came to the pepper seedling field and saw that the pepper seedlings had just emerged. She couldn't help but frown. At this rate, she would not be able to wait until the pepper seedlings were transplanted.
Shen Ruolan thought for a moment and said to Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, go get Manager Miao to come over."
"Yes, master." After Ji Ning finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the crowded place.
Soon Miao Wei ran over and asked Shen Ruolan, "Master, are you looking for a subordinate?"
Shen Ruolan nodded to him and said, "Well, I'm afraid I don't have the time to transplant these pepper seedlings myself. I'll let you know so that you don't know what to do with them when the time comes."
Miao Wei listened to his master's words. He looked at her and asked, "Master, are you going on a long journey?"
Miao Wei and his colleagues are working in the fields all day and don't know much about Shen Ruolan's private affairs.
"Yes, I'm going to Yan State." Shen Ruolan paused after she finished speaking, and said to Miao Wei: "While I'm away, the matters concerning the spring planting in Fu Village will be completely handed over to you. Don't let me down."
After hearing what his master said, Miao Wei replied to her seriously, "Yes, Master, I will do my best to grow every crop."
Shen Ruolan responded with a "hmm", came to an open space, and said to Miao Wei: "Go find a hoe."
"Yes." Miao Wei finished speaking, and quickly ran to the field, found a hoe, handed it to Shen Ruolan, and said, "Master, please."
Shen Ruolan took the hoe and dug ridges in the field. She said to Miao Wei, "When the seedlings grow up, whether it's peppers or pumpkins, when you transplant them, you must dig ridges like I did, and then plant the seedlings there."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she paused and continued, "The peppers are this far apart, and the pumpkins are this far apart."
The reason why she wants to plant peppers and pumpkins like this is to make it easier to take care of them later. Otherwise, if they are planted in a mess, it will be troublesome to clean up later, and it will also be a headache to water them or when it rains heavily.
Miao Wei looked at her master's gestures and asked her, "Master, is it like planting soybeans?"
Shen Ruolan said: "Yes, but whether it is pumpkin or pepper, the distance between them is wider than soybeans."
"Yes, I understand." Miao Wei said.
After Shen Ruolan finished taking care of the seedlings here, she came to the rice field and said to Miao Wei, "I've asked Baitie Village to start making plows and harrows. When they are delivered, you can have a few people take turns plowing and tilling the fields. Let everyone hold on for a while. When I buy some cows, you won't have to work so hard."
