Datang New Giants

Chapter 46

"Miss Xiaozhi, Miss Xiaozhi, are you okay?" Lu Ting stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xiaoqiao's maidservant.

I had finished my calculations, and no one said yes, so Xiaoqiao's maid was distracted, and she didn't know if she was shocked by herself or was thinking about something else.

Zheng Yanzhi came back to her senses, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly said with bright eyes: "Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to finish it so soon. I didn't expect a few branches and a handful of copper coins to turn decay into magic. It's really eye-opening." .”

"Fast? It's average." Lu Ting said with some regret: "It's too simple to make. If you give me some time to make a good one, it's fine to double the speed."

What, can it be faster?Zheng Yanzhi estimated the time just now, the speed is at least twice as fast as the pearl chip, if it is twice as fast, oh my god, if this is used in calculations or calculations, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. Take Hongling as an example, if Hongling practices For a while, utilizing this auxiliary tool was faster than those decades old bookkeeping.

Not to mention several times faster, even if it can save half the time, it is also amazing. For example, an account book takes an hour every day. With this auxiliary tool, it can save half the time and half an hour. If it is popularized, There are so many calculations involved in the world, if this auxiliary tool is promoted, how many people in the world will benefit.

By the way, Aye worked for Prince Qin's mansion. Although he gained King Qin's trust, he never made any contribution. He hadn't moved his position for a long time. For this reason, Aye sighed many times. Now that King Qin and the crown prince are fighting fiercely, they have tried every means Competing for favor and asking for credit in front of the emperor, if this auxiliary tool is handed over to Aye, and Aye dedicates it to the King of Qin, wouldn't that be a great achievement?Aye loves himself the most, and it is right to share his worries for Aye.

In case the brothers and sisters in the clan are always jealous of themselves, saying that they don't contribute much to the clan, but they are favored the most.

Zheng Yanzhi suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said expectantly: "Master Lu, this auxiliary tool is very useful, can I recommend it to people around me?"

When she said this, Zheng Yanzhi was a little nervous. Although this auxiliary tool is not good in appearance, it is very practical. If it is promoted, it will definitely gain a great reputation. If it is presented, a recommendation will not go away.

"Of course." Lu Ting said generously, "This thing is made to improve Miss Xiaozhi's computing power. Naturally, Miss Xiaozhi has the final say. Whether it is for promotion or other uses, as long as Miss Xiaozhi is happy good."

I was so excited, probably because I saw the business opportunities inside and made a batch to sell. I don’t worry if there is no way to sell it. Lu Ting also thought about selling it to make money. The problem is that I don’t have the funds and no sales channels. Even if I make it, I can’t sell it. How much, especially in ancient times, there was no concept of intellectual property rights, and simple things like abacus could be counterfeited in less than a day.

Anyway, when the favor is sent out, it is better to give it away thoroughly. This little maid is more capable than I imagined, and Lin Zhengshi is also more capable than I imagined. If the relationship is good, it will be easy to speak up in the future .

The crab roe buns were transferred to six hundred guan, and the little maidservant didn't even pay back the price, obviously selling herself as a favor, and I don't know if Mrs. Lin Zheng would blame her if she knew about it. Make up for it.

What I'm most afraid of is that the high-priced transfer will make Lin Zheng unhappy. You must know that the status of the slave is very low, and I don't want the little maid to be punished by Lin Zheng.

"Really? Isn't Mr. Lu just entertaining my slave?" Zheng Yanzhi said with a look of surprise.

Isn't it, such a good thing, if you don't want it, you don't want it, just give it to yourself for nothing, and let yourself dispose of it?Zheng Yanzhi wanted to buy it with money, but Lu Ting offered to give it away.

"Really, my son will do what he says."

"But such a valuable thing, don't. It's appropriate." Zheng Yanzhi still hesitated.

Lu Ting said carelessly: "It's not a valuable thing, what's wrong with it, I said before to improve Miss Xiaozhi's mental arithmetic ability, but there are too many things to do, and the teaching is not dedicated enough, this should be regarded as compensation, okay , This matter is settled like this, I will leave it alone, from this moment on it belongs to Miss Xiaozhi, how to deal with it depends on Miss Xiaozhi's wishes, I have absolutely no opinion."

Zheng Yanzhi took a deep look at Lu Ting, and suddenly saluted Lu Ting: "Mr. Lu is a talented and righteous man, thank you."

No way, this arrogant little maid usually has eyes on the top of her head, and her favorite thing is to roll her eyes and chin upturned. This is the first time I've seen her have such a gift. Lu Ting was stunned for a moment, regained consciousness, and immediately returned the gift : "Miss Xiaozhi is serious,"

After finishing the ceremony, Zheng Yanzhi quickly said anxiously: "Young master Lu said that the workmanship is too simple, if it is done well, the speed can be doubled, I wonder if Mr. Lu can make a good one, by the way, let's see how young master Lu can use it. , it seems that there is a formula, can this formula be taught to my family?"

To be able to make such an ingenious auxiliary tool so quickly, Lu Ting must have a perfect plan in his mind, and the most important thing is that Lu Ting also has formulas when calculating, these are very important experiences.

"The formula is easy to say. It's all my experience. It's just that it's a bit difficult to make a good one. I don't have tools, and my carpentry skills are not good." Lu Ting said with some embarrassment.

Arithmetic formulas, etc., the primary school in the previous life had abacus skills class, it is not difficult to recite them, but the carpenter himself can't.

Zheng Yanzhi immediately said: "It's simple, there are master carpenters in the house, Mr. Lu can give some pointers, I believe they will not disappoint you."

"No problem, just do what Miss Xiaozhi said." After Lu Ting finished speaking, he rubbed his hands and said, "It's about the transfer of the gold and jade bag. I don't know when."

The incident of crossing the river to draw boards just now is still vivid in my mind, Lu Ting must be on guard, lest the little maidservant only have an empty promise, if she intentionally makes things difficult for herself and refuses the deal for a year or so, she can afford it, and she can wait Sorry.

This prodigal son is really cautious, maybe he was frightened just now, he will not scatter hawks when he sees a rabbit, Zheng Yanzhi did not respond to Lu Ting's words, and turned to Hong Ling and said: "Hong Ling, go prepare money immediately, when Mr. Lu leaves You can take it with you."

"Yes, Miss." Hong Ling replied, and quickly went down to prepare.

It's very particular, it's generous and it also gave him a lot of face, Lu Ting immediately expressed his opinion: "Where is the carpenter, there are brothers and feet, and it will be done soon."

Soon, Lu Ting was taken to a carpentry room, where three carpenters were waiting respectfully for orders.

A rich family is good, and all kinds of craftsmen are supported by them. They can be used at any time. They can maintain the house in normal times, and they don’t eat for nothing in their spare time.

Lu Ting was also polite, and drew a sketch of the abacus from memory, and then asked three carpenters to divide the work, one to make the frame, one to make the bead column, and the last to make the beads. The three carpenters are all master craftsmen. , that is, the beads are a little more difficult to polish, and the rest are all three carpenters working together, and when they don't understand, they ask Lu Ting for a few words. In less than an hour, a brand new abacus appeared in front of Lu Ting.

The frame is not difficult, it can be done in less than [-] quarters of an hour, and the rest of the time is spent polishing the beads. Lu Ting thinks it is ok, but the three carpenters are very demanding, and even a small bead looks left and right. He glanced with his left eye, then squinted his right eye to see if it was round enough, and where there were burrs that were not polished well. Lu Ting also admired the seriousness.

Beautiful, the frame made of rosewood, the beads made of red sandalwood, every piece of wood has been carefully polished, smooth and round, even the words engraved on the abacus are neat and elegant, if Lu Ting didn't stop it The old carpenter who took the lead wanted to inlay silver corners on the corners of the abacus and decorate the frame with cloud patterns. Lu Ting persuaded that this is not for decoration, but practical, and he would not give up without such trouble.

Datang's first abacus, and also the world's first abacus, came out under his leadership. Lu Ting felt a sense of pride in his heart. Looking at the arithmetic in his hand, he became more and more satisfied. It doesn't look like an abacus, but like a beautiful work of art, all materials are precious wood, just polished, the abacus still exudes a unique aroma of sandalwood.
