After chasing the people away, Mr. Tan lost interest in teaching.
After assigning the memorization task, he went to the clinic to find Tan Mengqiu.
Tan Mengqiu has taken the medicine and had acupuncture, and feels much better now.
Seeing Old Tan looking left and right, he asked, "Where's Feng Ling?"
Upon hearing Xiao Fengling's name, Old Tan became furious. "Your health has deteriorated to this extent because of him. Has he often made you angry?"
Tan Mengqiu shook her head: "No, it's just that I... I occasionally take a look at official documents. I just hate that I'm not a man, so I can't go to the battlefield to protect my country. I also hate that I'm not a man, so you and my elder brother are left to fend for yourselves in the court."
Old Tan touched his nose, realizing he hadn't seen his daughter in so long that he'd forgotten what kind of person she was.
But the son-in-law has already hit her, so he can't exactly apologize, can he?
Old Tan frowned: "Don't think about those things, just focus on your pregnancy."
At this moment, Lin Jinyue, peering out from the doorway with her eyes darting around, said with a smile, "Auntie, are you trying to contribute to the big project?"
Tan Mengqiu was taught by her father from a young age that she did not love romantic poems, but was wholeheartedly thinking about sharing the burdens of her father and brothers.
She nodded: "The people are suffering terribly these days, I really..."
Lin Jinyue then said, "Why don't you take good care of your health first? I do need a few people who care about the common people. If you take good care of your health, I will need you to help the people seek better things in the future."
Tan Mengqiu was somewhat surprised: "You mean..."
Lin Jinyue patted her hand: "Auntie, you should take good care of yourself first. There's no rush for that."
Old Tan was curious about what it was about, and Lin Jinyue chuckled and led Old Tan to the space.
Inside the farm, Chen Mazi and his friends were tinkering with a large machine.
It's made of wood, with several silk threads hanging from it.
Lin Jinyue said, "Look, if this machine is to be promoted, we'll have to rely on you, Madam."
In Lingnan, there is no worry about a shortage of raw materials for mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing.
The previous difficulty was that labor costs were too high, and the village's own production was simply not enough.
It's better to spend money to buy it; the people in their village can create more value elsewhere.
However, things changed with the advent of textile machines.
These textile machines operate day and night, requiring only one skilled worker to oversee a few machines.
This saved a lot of manpower.
Then the price of textiles will come down, and everyone will be able to wear cotton.
Lin Jinyue said to Tan Lao, "This textile machine is only the first generation. It is a bit slow in operation, but it is twice as fast as manual labor. Let them think about it some more, and it can be upgraded and replaced, which will be more beneficial."
The pie she drew for Chen Mazi and the others was big and round, so she wasn't worried that they wouldn't work.
Lin Jinyue pointed to the cotton field again, "And these too, we're hoping Madam can help us promote them. It would be great if the Prefect could also lend a hand."
Old Tan smiled and said, "That's good, that's good, let's find her something to do."
It would save his daughter from worrying all the time. If she could find something to do, she would feel more at ease.
However, after resolving this issue, Old Tan remembered another matter.
"Yueyue, did you hear what Fengling said? They said Prince Jing has started training the navy and will come from the shore. Isn't it too dangerous for us here?"
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "Of course not."
They've been working on gunpowder and cannons these past few days, and it hasn't been for nothing.
One catapult alone would be enough to give them a hard time, not to mention the gunpowder.
The cannon is still under development; it's just unknown when it will be ready.
Just then, Li the blacksmith came out with several skilled workers. "Yueyue, our cannon is ready for initial testing. Should we test it inside the farm, or go outside to try it out?"
As luck would have it, Mr. Tan was there too.
Even five-year-old Stone knows the progress of weapon development in the village.
However, Professor Tan usually spends her time either teaching and educating students or researching materials in her study; she basically doesn't concern herself with those other things.
This led to everyone in the village going about their business peacefully, while Old Tan started to panic after hearing Xiao Fengling's words.
I'm worried that this village, with less than three thousand people, mostly consists of the elderly and the weak, who have no fighting ability.
If they were to clash with Prince Jing's army, would they be in a favorable position?
Seeing that Old Tan was quite worried, Lin Jinyue said, "Let's try blasting it in the farm, and I'll unlock it."
Lin Jinyue still had some money, but she was still stingy and only unlocked three acres of land.
They stood some distance from the crops, behind the hut.
Even if the power is too great, it shouldn't be enough to destroy crops.
Indeed, Lin Jinyue's first reaction was to worry about the crops.
As for injuries...
With the protection of the farm space, Lin Jinyue wasn't worried at all.
She asked the system what would happen if her health bar was depleted.
The system said that the host should try to avoid casualties, as the consequence of instantly depleting the health bar is that the host cannot enter the farm for a month and will be weak for a month.
Lin Jinyue immediately understood.
This is a great place to conduct experiments!
After making several improvements to the bomb, Lin Jinyue began testing it some distance away from the villa.
She was afraid of blowing up the villa.
Lin Jinyue thought that buying three acres of land should be enough for testing.
Unexpectedly, the bomb's power far exceeded what was recorded in the video and the book.
Lin Jinyue thought that there should be no casualties at a distance of several hundred meters.
result……
After the bomb was dropped, there wasn't enough land available, so the bomb exploded directly on a transparent light screen.
"boom--"
Lin Jinyue didn't react in time, and several people around her fell to the ground.
The younger players were alright; their health bars were emptied by more than half, but they didn't reach the red line.
Old Tan is in a bad situation; his health bar is almost empty.
Lin Jinyue quickly gave him pills and fed him brown sugar water, and only then did she see his health bar gradually increase.
Li the blacksmith and his companions also looked annoyed: "The proportions must be wrong, otherwise the power would never be this great!"
The group looked dejected, as if they had done something wrong.
Lin Jinyue had no time to comfort them; she kept feeding him medicine to help Old Tan recover his blood volume. She was also worried about Old Tan's current condition.
result……
Old Tan's eyes lit up: "That thing was really powerful! I was wondering why you guys weren't worried at all. Turns out you had a trump card!"
Old Tan's originally cloudy eyes were now sparkling.
Lin Jinyue felt uneasy under the glare. "What else do you plan to do? I've made it clear, this is for protecting our village, and I absolutely will not hand it over."
To everyone's surprise, Old Tan's eyes lit up even more.
Lin Jinyue:? ? ?
No, something's off about Old Tan's expression.
Just as Lin Jinyue was wondering when Old Master Tan wanted to meet...
Old Tan suddenly said, "Yueyue, have you ever thought that you, your father, and your brother are all rare geniuses..."
"Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad for you to be emperors?"
