Chapter 140: Golden Silk Armor

Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu chatted for a while, then went to Yangshantang together, handed over, Chen Wenhui explained the division of responsibilities to Qiu Bi and Cui Qiao, in fact, Qiu Bi and Cui Qiao are like two managers, each in charge of a mess of things, and the chairman is Mingzhu.

When everything was arranged, Chen Wenhui returned home, planning, or hurry up to prepare. I called everyone around me to come over, including four Qiubi and four Yujin.

Chen Wenhui said to them: "Because we are going to Nanyang, I will leave Qiu Bi and Cui Qiao behind to take care of the Hei family's shop, Yangshantang, painting hall and Brother Yi's Zhuangzi." Among them, the Hei family's shop is managed by Tang Jinming's shop, and you are just reconciling. The affairs of Yangshantang have also been assigned today. There is also the matter of the painting hall, which requires Qiu Bi to do more to help the senior brother of the enemy family to build the painting hall well. And Brother Yi's Zhuangzi was entrusted to Cui Qiao. You have to be dedicated. ”

The latter sentence was said to Cui Qiao, and Cui Qiao was busy responding.

Chen Wenhui continued: "The six of you can't be idle for a month, we will go this time, it will take a long time to come back, about four or five years, and we are starting from scratch in Nanyang, so this preparation must be sufficient." The capital is a place where the world's goods gather, you, mainly Green Shoots and Bilian, want to bring all the things that should be brought, if you don't have it at home, go and buy it, the more the merrier, anyway, we have a big ship, not afraid. ”

The six maids hurriedly agreed.

Chen Wenhui saw that the assignment was decided, so he waved his hand and let them all disperse, and suddenly remembered Zhao Chongyi again, he was going to return to the battlefield in a few days, how dangerous this is, should he do something. That's right. Because his mother helped him buy a house, the 300,000 taels of silver that he had planned to spend were saved. Why don't you use the money to buy him something?

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui laughed again. What is worth so much silver? But it is certain to prepare something for him, and the poor family is rich. Even if you don't go to war, you have to bring more things when you go out, not to mention that this is going to war, the sword has no eyes, and how dangerous it is on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui was no longer calm, and got up and said to the jade belt who was serving her on the side: "Prepare pen and ink, I want to write something." ”

Jade Belt is busy getting ready. Chen Wenhui went to the desk and wrote, making a long list.

The next day, Chen Wenhui instructed the maids to go to their own errands, and she took the jade belt to the black family's shop in a carriage, and when she arrived at Jinmingpu, Tang Guanghui happened to be there, and she was busy welcoming Wen Hui to the private room on the second floor. After sitting down and drinking tea, Chen Wenhui said: "Master Tang, in a month, I will go to Nanyang with my second brother to build what we said last time." The piece of land in Luzon that we bought with your black family. ”

Tang Guanghui was very strange: "You are going there to build a city and develop Luzon, I know, but. Are you going too? Are you a girl really going to that place? Or, did you go to Yizhou Island, sit in Xinguang City, and change to Chen Dagongzi and Chen Ergongzi? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I'll go with my second brother." My eldest brother is going to sit in Shin Kong City. He not only had to deal with the affairs of Shingwangseong, but also some affairs related to Silla, Goguryeo, and the Wa Kingdom, which he couldn't do without him, besides. Now he is the city lord of Xinguang City appointed by the imperial court, a member of the first rank. How can you leave your post without permission? ”

Tang Guanghui frowned and said, "How can Lord Chen and Mrs. Chen be willing to do so?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have the opportunity to go out so easily." Don't destroy it. ”

Tang Guanghui smiled and said, "How could I destroy it? You are the owner of our Hei family's loyalty for fifty years, and our Hei family hopes that you can lead our Hei family to glory, if you just drink tea and enjoy flowers with these girls and ladies in the capital, we don't want to. If you go to develop Luzon, we can also take the opportunity to develop there together, and strive for us to establish two cities on Luzon and help each other, okay? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "It's three cities." One is from our Xiao Chen family, my second brother is in charge, one is from your Hei family, and the other is my own. ”

Tang Guanghui was very surprised: "Do you still want a city yourself?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly, but did not return.

Tang Guanghui was indeed very willing to accept it and said: "Well, with your talent, this is just a small meaning, there are many female hall masters of our Hei family." It's a good thing that three cities are built together at once. In this way, the manpower and material resources invested in this way will inevitably be more, and there will be more guards, which will naturally be easier to handle, and it will be easier to deal with talented wolves, tigers and leopards, and it will be easier to deal with the local natives. Moreover, if the three cities watch over each other, we can rely on these three cities to fence off a large area of land and cultivate it, which is a lot of income. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it too, and said to Tang Guanghui: "I think the same way." After I left, I reconciled with the shop every month, and prepared to set up branches in Suzhou City and Shanghai City, all of which were handed over to my two big girls, Qiubi and Cuiqiao, who are very familiar to you. ”

Tang Guanghui hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, now that our situation is getting better and better, we will definitely be able to make more money." I have inquired about the opening of a branch, and it is very easy to do things now for the sake of your Chen family's face. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled, originally the Chen family was a big family, but now, because of the imperial concubine, officials all over the world are vying for it, where else can it be done.

Besides, Shanghai City, Suzhou City, Princess Lichuan is there, how can you not take care of it?

Chen Wenhui said: "This is the first thing I came to you today, and the second thing is, here's a list, you can see how much you can prepare, I want to buy it." ”

After speaking, I took out the two lists that I listed yesterday. Tang Guanghui hurriedly looked at it seriously, and when he was half-loud, he frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" Even if you go to Nanyang to build a city, you don't need to be so fully armed, this is going to the battlefield. It's emergency medicine, gold sore medicine, knives, guns, weapons, and soft armor, what is this for? ”

Chen Wenhui pouted and said, "You have a lot of care, do you say there is one?" ”

Tang Guanghui said: "Yes, there is, but it is used by men and women, and it seems that it is difficult to find." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "It's not for me, it's for a friend of mine, he is a general of the imperial court, and he is going to the northwest battlefield, this is the equipment I prepared for him, some time ago, I encountered wolves on the way home from Master Huatang Qiu, and you also know about it." It's all thanks to people who saved me, and in return, what is it for me to prepare these things. ”

At this moment, Tang Guanghui understood and said: "In this way, this is indeed yes, receiving the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates." Not to mention a great life-saving grace. Actually, if he saves you, it is equivalent to saving the master of the Hei family, and naturally he is also the benefactor of my Hei family, I must be prepared for the best. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I just made a list of items, but in fact, there are detailed requirements. So, I'm going to talk to you face to face. Do you have soft, light clothes that can resist swords, guns and arrows? ”

After Chen Wenhui finished speaking, she described the body armor she saw in modern society in her previous life. Tang Guanghui thought for a while and said, "Our Hei family can make something similar. It was still a long time ago that our black family made a gold silk soft armor, which was synthesized with several very precious metals, and some secret things, which were woven into a single garment, soft, light, warm in winter and cool in summer, and could resist knives, guns and arrows. However, the cost was too high, so we just made that one and gave it to the black family who went to explore the way, and then the fleet did not come back, and naturally its whereabouts are unknown. However, we have written down the method of making zuò, and as long as we prepare the materials, we can do it at any time. However, it can't be done here, it has to be done in Black Iron City. After all, the real masters are still in the Black Iron City, and the raw materials are all in the warehouse of the Black Iron City. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "That means, can the Hei family do it?" ”

Tang Guanghui smiled and said: "Although it can be done, but the price is too high, you still don't think about it, I have a good soft armor here, which is woven with gold and silver threads and hair, although it is a little worse than that soft armor, but it is also a high-grade product, this is cheaper, and eight thousand taels can be given to you." ”

Chen Wenhui took a breath and said, "Oh my God, you are not good, you still need eight thousand taels?" ”

Tang Guanghui was a little aggrieved: "This thing is difficult to get out, the process is very complicated, even if the master does it, it can't be done without a year's effort, and collecting eight thousand taels is really just the cost price, and it doesn't make any money, can we make the master's money?" ”

Chen Wenhui believed that Tang Guanghui was telling the truth, so she asked: "Then how much does it cost to be that good?" ”

Tang Guanghui said: "The ones used are all cherished materials, which are naturally expensive, if you do it, you won't make money, but the wages and materials alone cost 60,000 taels, which is still less." ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but squint her eyes: "It's so expensive?" How long will it take to make it? ”

Tang Guanghui's eyes widened: "You won't really do it, right?" In my opinion, my eight thousand taels is very good, that is, our Hei family has it, and I have seen all those soft armors of Da Chu, which is really not as good as mine. That very expensive gold silk armor is not only expensive, but also takes a long time, at least three years to make. ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "Three years is too long, can it be shorter?" ”

Tang Guanghui said: "Add money, and you can do it within a year by inviting three masters at once." ”

Chen Wenhui calculated for a moment and said: "Then plus we spread the news to the Hei family, and then make the things, transport them over, and then send them to the northwest, oh my God, it will take two years, it's too slow, can't we invite a few more people to do it together?" ”

Tang Guanghui thought for a while and said, "Yes, there are a total of five masters in our Hei family who can make this now, and if we have more money, we should be able to make it within half a year." Coupled with the time of the ship's news, plus the transportation over, it will probably take a year's effort, and this is still urgent. ”

Chen Wenhui immediately said: "Deal." (To be continued)
