Chapter 1152: Dumb Fight Back
When Fang Chu came back in the evening, she saw a dumb silhouette in front of the window under the porch, and the children in the house were laughing, but she looked in one direction and seemed to be thinking about something. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fang Chu was stunned, and when he entered the house, he didn't go back to the room first, and asked Zizhu and other women for questioning first.
Originally, they lived with their children as a young couple, and the family affairs should be simple and clear; Later, when his parents entered Beijing, they also lived in the Youhuan Pavilion, his younger brothers and sisters-in-law also came often, and there were in-laws from the Yan family, so the family affairs were much more complicated; Now that the Guo family is also here, the two parents' families live under the same roof, and their teeth and tongues still have to fight, not to mention that when Yan Duyang and Qiao'er get married, some contradictions are normal.
He asked Zizhu to ask him, because he wanted to know what happened at home when he was not at home, and then he went to see Qingmu after figuring it out first, and he had a draft in his heart, so it would be easier to persuade him.
He didn't find Zizhu, and Shuizhu was in the house.
Shuizhu is a naΓ―ve girl, it is easier to ask questions from her mouth, and when she saw Fang Chu asking, she told Fang Chu about the gossip and the trouble that Cai's family heard.
Fang Chu frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly returned to his room.
Seeing Qing Qing sitting dumbly under the window, looking at the children in the suite joking, with deep thought in his eyes, when he saw him come in, he hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to help him loosen his clothes, and changed into regular clothes.
Fang Chu didn't ask her to work, waited for her to bring her clothes, changed them by herself, and asked her how she was doing today, how she was eating, what was going on at home, etc.
Qing Du didn't say much, only said, "It's okay." β
Then he asked rhetorically: "Have you found a house?" β
Fang Chu understood that she was unhappy about that incident. There was only one reason why he didn't say it in front of him: the gossip must have been someone close to his mother. She didn't say anything, but urged him to find a house for the Guo family, because she wanted her family to move out of the secluded mansion.
He can't do anything about it.
If he goes to his mother again, his mother thinks that he is dumb and said something resentful in front of him, and he will be self-defeating to show his mother-in-law's face.
After changing his clothes, he helped Qingmu to sit down in front of the window again.
The dumb called Shuizhu and poured a cup of tea for Fang Chu.
Fang Chu took a sip before he said to Qing Du: "I've seen a few places, the house is fine, but it's a little far away from Zhongyibo's mansion." I think it's best to find it on Tsinghua Road, closer to us, the two families can take care of each other in the future, and it is convenient for you to see your mother's family. β
Qing Du hurriedly asked: "Is there any Tsinghua Road?" β
Fang Chu said: "There is a house, but unfortunately the master returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors before the Qingming Festival, and he can't come for a while." I just wanted to wait two more days. At that time, the second brother and sister-in-law also came back and went to take a look. The father-in-law and mother-in-law only came, and they were not familiar with the capital, so they had to look at it to rest assured. β
Qing said dumbly: "Then wait for two more days." β
Fang Chu said: "Okay." β
After speaking, he took her up and went to see the Wu family together.
One day later, Guo Dayou and his wife and Qiao'er Guo Jian came back from Fengzhou.
They successfully solved the problem of using water to drive textile machines.
First, drive the spinning wheel: through the hydraulic drive of the spinning wheel, one person can take care of several spinning wheels at the same time, which greatly improves the output. Second, drive the loom: this application is much more difficult, can only be for plain cloth and brocade (no pattern), because the cloth and brocade without pattern weaving technique is single, can be reciprocated operation, without manual weaving.
This is no small feat.
It is conceivable that if this innovation is promoted, the output of the cotton spinning industry and the silk weaving industry will be greatly increased, which will have a huge impact on the market.
Qing Mu instantly made up his mind: to auction this technology publicly!
She only promised that "the Guo family has no secrets", but she did not give it away.
Her public spinning wheels, looms and other machines are good things for the people, but if this semi-mechanized innovation is public, it will benefit the major textile merchants, not only not good for the people, but also for the time being, it will also have an impact on some small businesses, resulting in the bankruptcy of many small handicraft workshops.
She wanted to publicly auction the technology and promote its use for a fee.
Auction plan: Use the method of dark bidding to transfer this technology to the top seven merchants with the highest offer at the same time. The Guo family's in-laws, the Fang family (including the big and small Fang families), the Shen family, and the Yan family, were not allowed to participate in the auction, and the transfer was calculated according to the lowest auction price afterwards. This can be regarded as the Guo family taking care of their in-laws, and it is also fair to prevent others from saying that the Guo family is bidding through relatives.
The treatment of the Yan family is special: the Guo family used this technology to marry Qiao'er and brought it to the Yan family, and the Yan family either converted the silver to Qiao'er, or shared Qiao'er's dividends every year.
At noon, Fang Chu held a banquet for his father-in-law and uncle.
After the banquet, Qing Mu and Fang Chu specially sent their father, mother, brother and sister-in-law back to the fourth courtyard. After entering the house, Qingmu told everyone in the Guo family his thoughts and decisions.
Guo Shouye and the others were shocked when they heard this, and their first reaction was to look at Fang Chu.
Fang Chu smiled and praised: "This is a good idea!" That's a great idea! β
Guo Dayou hesitated and said, "Collect money for you too?" Our family ......"
Qing Du said firmly: "We are not a family. I'm married! β
Fang Chu hurriedly said: "Whether it's a family or not, brothers, settle accounts!" β
This technology was made by Guo Jian and Qiao'er, Qingdu, who is an aunt, can't use it in vain, and Dafang's family can't use it in vain, and the Shen family is the same, although the Yan family doesn't take the silver, but Qiao'er brought it over as a dowry, and the Yan family wants to convert the silver to Qiao'er.
Through this auction, the Guo family proved their strength to the world; In this way, the Guo family's technology is clearly priced, so that the Dafang family, the Yan family, the Shen family and other families can understand how much the Guo family helped them before, and they will no longer ignore it because of habit.
It's a powerful counter-to the gossip outside.
This counterattack is much more clever than Cai's shouting.
Fang Chu looked at Qing Mu, Qing Mu was also looking at him, his eyes were quiet, and he said in a soft tone: "You help the second brother about the auction." As if she wasn't the one who made the decision just now, she didn't have much ability, and she still had to rely on him as a husband for everything.
He loved it, the feeling of being trusted by her.
He smiled, "That's nature." β
He said: "The Weaver Girl has ordered, we dare to disobey our orders." Right, second brother? β
The latter sentence was said by looking at Guo Dayou.
Guo Dayou glanced at his sister and sister-in-law, and the corners of his mouth curved.
Qiao'er and Guo Jian laughed together.
The dumb other party said at the beginning: "You are a son-in-law, half a son." β
At the same time, the gaze conveys another meaning: it is your responsibility.
Fang Chu said with a smile: "I want to be the whole son for my father and mother, but I'm afraid that the second brother will think that I want to fight with him for the family property." The crowd laughed.
Guo Jian was about to speak, and the maid went back and forth: The eunuch in the palace came to pass Guo Jian into the palace.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Guo Jian.
Guo Jian was also puzzled and said that he didn't know about it.
