Chapter 143 - 143 Can I Play?

143 Can I Play?

When Yang Quanzi said this, no one objected. Instead, they agreed. “Yes, we definitely can’t use Madam’s blueprint for nothing!”

A pastry recipe could be sold for one or two taels of silver. The spray machine created by Bai Wutong was so great. How could everyone let her lose out?

Besides, they had already taken enough advantage of Bai Wutong.

Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and was very satisfied with everyone’s attitude. He even gave Sheng Huaixuan a sly look.

Sheng Huaixuan received the signal from Yang Quanzi and smiled helplessly in his heart. He stood up and said to Bai Wutong, “Sister-in-law, everyone doesn’t want to use your blueprint for nothing. How about this? Brother Zhao will use your blueprint and give you 60% of the profits if anyone custom-made a sprayer?”

Those who had never done business and did not know how to split the profits immediately lit up. What a good idea!

The villagers of Zhao farmyard had done a lot of work for the 30 families of Qinghe and had also saved some money. If they could not afford to make a sprayer, they could just not use it. In any case, they could not let Madam Bai suffer.

Village Chief Zhao said on behalf of his son, “The sprayer is so good! It’s too little to give just 60%, Madam Bai should get at least 80%!”

If not for Madam Bai’s blueprint, they would not have been able to construct the sprayer.

Everyone looked eagerly at Bai Wutong, hoping that she would agree.

If Bai Wutong agreed, they could ask Zhao Sheng to customize a sprayer.

Bai Wutong was beautiful and kind. Even if she set the price, it would not be too high.

Some who were more intelligent even thought, even if it was pricey, it didn’t matter. If someone else customized a sprayer, they could just spend a little money renting it.

Bai Wutong knew that Yang Quanzi was thinking on behalf of her and was not a pretentious person. She said gratefully, “I’ll just take 50%. Brother Zhao spent a lot of effort to help me make the sprayer.”

Zhao Sheng’s craftsmanship was one of the best. Not only was the sprayer beautiful in shape and polished smooth, but it was also very durable. Especially the complicated and special design structure inside the sprayer, those who were not smart could not understand it at all.

No one had any objections to what Bai Wutong was willing to split the amount for. In any case, Bai Wutong had the final say, so they decided to give her 50% of the profits from making a sprayer.

…

When Yang Gongbing came to visit again with gifts, he saw a magical scene.

In the fields, everyone was carrying a wooden box and operating it in an orderly fashion.

He walked in and looked around a little. His eyes lit up.

Everyone was actually using this wooden and squarish thing to water the seedlings!

This must be something designed by Madam Bai again!

If it could be promoted in the entire Ling Kingdom, the efficiency of farming would increase greatly. It would also greatly increase everyone’s motivation to labor.

The Civil Affairs Department would definitely rate it first-class!

Yang Gongbing was excited for a second. Thinking that there was still no news of the paper machine that Bai Wutong had released, he lowered his head dejectedly.

Madam would definitely not be willing to report this to the Imperial Court.

When Yang Gongbing went to Yang Quanzi’s house, Yang Quanzi was watering the flowers with the sprayer on his back. When he saw him, he put the sprayer aside.

Yang Gongbing kept staring at the sprayer. Yang Quanzi could tell that he wanted to give it a try and smiled. “Do you want to help me water the flowers?”

As soon as Yang Quanzi spoke, Yang Gongbing quickly nodded and carried the spray machine like Yang Quanzi.

Even if he carried it on his back, he did not know how to operate it. Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and taught him how to use the sprayer as if he was teaching him a life skill.

Yang Gongbing pressed it hard, raised the spray and pushed open the lock. With a sizzling sound, a thin stream of water shot out.

Like a child, Yang Gongbing said excitedly, “Teacher, it came out! It’s so amazing!”

When Yang Quanzi first used the sprayer, he was also like this. Now, he pretended to be calm and said, “Yes, it went quite far.”

Yang Gongbing carried the sprayer on his back and sprayed water around. The entire courtyard was drenched.

Yang Quanzi had just watered the flowers. As if he was addicted, Yang Gongbing wanted to do it again. Yang Quanzi quickly stopped him. “Hey, enough, enough!”

Yang Gongbing smiled and said, “Has Teacher’s land been watered? I’ll go help Teacher water the land.”

Carrying the spray machine and watering made him feel like playing. It was simply too easy.

Yang Quanzi chuckled. “They’ve finished watering my land, but your senior brothers still have 16 acres left. You can go help them now.”

“16 acres!”

Even if the sprayer could make watering easier, it was too much. Yang Gongbing decisively changed the topic. “This sprayer is so useful. If only it could be popularized to the people.”

He was just saying that. If Madam Bai was unwilling, he would not force her.

Yang Quanzi smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening. “It can be promoted to the public, why can’t it be?”

“Madam Bai has already handed the blueprints to Zhao Sheng. If you want a few, you can look for Zhao Sheng to customize them.”

Yang Gongbing was both happy and worried. He frowned and said, “We need a lot of sprayers to promote them to the people. The blueprints must be taught to other carpenters so that the entire common people in Woqian Town can use them.”

He was a little worried about whether Bai Wutong was willing to do that.

Yang Quanzi smiled and said, “You can go and discuss with Madam. You can teach a carpenter and split some of the profits from making a sprayer to her.” He added, “Zhao Sheng is giving her 50% of the profits from selling each sprayer!”

Since Bai Wutong’s invention was so useful and could even be used to water feces, Yang Gongbing felt that 50% was not much. His eyes lit up. “Then I’ll go and discuss it with Madam. If Madam agrees, I’ll ask the carpenters to come to Youjia Village to learn.”

Yang Gongbing hurriedly went to look for Bai Wutong and immediately explained his intentions.

Just by producing a blueprint, she could earn an endless stream of money.

Who would complain about having too much money? In any case, she did not have to worry about the rest. Moreover, the person in charge was Yang Gongbing, so she was not afraid of trouble. Everyone thought that Bai Wutong would definitely agree.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wutong thought for a moment and asked Yang Gongbing to buy the rights to the blueprint for ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver might be a huge sum to the commoners.

To Yang Gongbing, it was equivalent to picking up a treasure pot from the water.

Yang Gongbing was stunned and asked in disbelief, “Why is Madam giving me the blueprint?”

Bai Wutong had originally wanted to use the spray machine and cleaning paper for herself. She said, “Lord Yang, you’re thinking for the people. I also want to contribute to that.”

This saved the other carpenters from looking for her one by one, wanting to learn the designing of the spray machine.

Yang Gongbing was extremely excited. “Thank you, Madam! I will definitely report to the Imperial Court again. The Imperial Court will definitely reward you!”

The Imperial Court would definitely take seriously something that was suitable for the development of agriculture.

Bai Wutong had heard this countless times.

After so long, there was not a single news in the Imperial Court. She might as well think about whether she should run away with Chu Tianbao or follow him if he was going to serve in the military.
