Early the next morning, Bi Laosan came with the craftsman who invented the clay type. As soon as he entered the door, Changsun Chong, Dugu Xiude, and Yu Chihuan came together, and with them were nine craftsmen, three people from each family.

Although Li Mu has reiterated the concept of earning money together and sharing it together, the selfishness that is deeply rooted in his bones will not disappear so easily. Learning the secret method of salt making is such a big thing, who is willing to be left behind. If they are all learned by the eldest grandson's family, others will not be allowed to raise their noses for generations?

No one would allow this kind of thing to do. They didn't dare to argue in front of Li Mu anymore, the three Datang Mining companies were a lesson from the past, and they were scolded. So the three families are combined, three three see nine, three families are three, and no one suffers.

Because of this, the three came a little later. In Zhuluhou Mansion, there is no such thing as cutting in line, since Bi Laosan came first, they can only wait.

The porter Zhao Youcai received them, as the saying goes, the prime minister is a third-grade official in front of the door. Although Li Mu is not the prime minister, and Zhao Youcai is not a third-class person, but since he received Li Tai and gave Li Tai a bowl of noodle soup, Zhao Youcai has exercised it, no matter what kind of dignitaries and nobles he receives, he can do it without being rude. This is actually a psychological effect, I have received the prince, no matter how noble you are, can you be the emperor's own son?

The three of them sat in the lobby, and the weather in winter was getting colder day by day, but the lobby of Zhuluhou Mansion did not feel cold at all. As the inventor of the pankang and the wall of fire, Li Mu of course had to implement it in his own house first, and it happened that he still had money and no place to spend it, so he renovated every room in the Zhulu Hou Mansion.

To say that this world is really unfair, Li Mu is not bad for money, he wants to spend money, but he didn't spend a penny on the renovation project from beginning to end. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry regard it as an honor to be able to come to work in the Luhou Mansion, who will take his money, and who will dare to collect his money? If you really accept it, you won't be scolded to death when you go back? Hou Ye gave us hard-working craftsmen a bowl of rice to eat, and when serving in conscription, you can still earn money, you don't think about returning, and you dare to ask for Hou Ye's money, and you still call it a person?

When Li Mu heard Li Zhien talk about these things, he was relieved and distressed. He was pleased with the simplicity of the craftsmen and understood the Entu newspaper, but he was distressed that his money had nowhere to spend. In a previous life, a master once said that the most painful thing in life is that people die and money is not spent. In the foreseeable future, money will inevitably be made more and more, and if you can't draw it all the time, not to mention that people will covet it, your life will lose momentum.

Not long after the three of them sat down, Dugu Jiu came over. His father came to the door, and as a son, of course he had to come out and meet him. But he is still wearing a mask, this mask is a new mask made by Li Mu for him, no longer covering the whole face, only covering the mouth and nose, like a mask. The system is set that the principle of the voice changer to change the sound is to change the airflow exhaled from the mouth and nose, so such a half-face mask can also have the same effect.

Dugu Jiu, who covers half of his face, has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he can't see much of a man's atmosphere, but is a bit like Wang Ou wearing a veil. The other two people present, Changsun Chong had seen Dugu Jiu, but he had never seen Dugu Jiu wearing half a mask, and at a glance, he couldn't help but have some blind thoughts about the relationship between Li Mu and Dugu Jiu. Could it be, this guy has Longyang, right?

Although he thought so, Changsun Chong didn't think so. In the minds of the ancients, the goodness of Longyang and the habit of broken sleeves were not a derogatory term, but a relatively positive word. ** is good, it has been in ancient times. Since the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, how many literati and nobles have this hobby, which does not affect the world's evaluation of them, but spreads it as a good story, highlighting the romance.

What Changsun Chong thought in his heart was that he didn't see it, Dugu Xiude, an old thing, was able to give away such a big blood capital, and even gave away his own son in order to tie up with Li Mu.

He was convinced of this, yesterday Li Mu was furious for Dugu Jiu, he still remembers it vividly, if he was just an ordinary brother and guard, could he be like this?

Changsun Chong thought secretly in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he nodded kindly to Dugu Jiu, showing that he and Dugu Jiu were familiar with each other. But his careful thinking was completely useless. Wei Chihuan didn't look at it at all, from the moment he entered the lobby, he sat up straight like a sculpture, looking ahead, and didn't care about the things around him at all.

Dugu Xiude didn't know the filthy thoughts in Changsun Chong's heart, and he was a little smug. When you tried your best to fight the deer marquis, the old man was calm and calm, and there was no need to bother at all, because my son is now in the deer marquis's mansion. What's the benefit, can I still be missing my lonely family? He even calculated in his heart that if this continued, in time, in the circle of Guanlong nobles, the Dugu family would inevitably emerge again, even if it was not as good as the eldest grandson family, it could sit firmly in the second position, and no one would dare to underestimate it.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to count on Li Mu. The first thing to do is to show that you have a close relationship with Li Mu. Dugu Xiude rolled his eyes, glanced at his son, and said, "Jiu'er, what is Master Hou doing now?" ”

"Back to my father, my eldest brother is inspecting the craftsmen brought by Bi Jianzheng."

The eldest grandson Chong took over and said: "I know about this, yesterday when I was drinking tea with Hou Ye in heaven and earth, I met Bi Jianzheng, the printing supervisor, and it is said that a craftsman invented clay movable type, which is not only clear in printing, but also more durable. Hou Ye said that today's test, if what he said is true, he will reward this craftsman. Didn't Uncle Dugu know about it? Oh, yes, when I had tea yesterday, I was the only one present, and neither of you was there, hehe......"

Yu Chihuan glanced at Changsun Chong and said coolly: "I don't like to drink tea. ”

Dugu Xiude laughed, but scolded in his heart, showing you! Who doesn't know that you stick to others like a dog skin plaster, this tea is rubbing!

Dugu Xiude ignored President Sun Chong and said to Dugu Jiu: "Jiu'er, my father is also very curious about this printing technique, can you take my father to see it?" ”

"No way!" Dugu Jiu didn't think about it and vetoed it directly, and said: "The eldest brother said that the clay type is the patent of this craftsman, and it is necessary to protect his rights and interests." No one can watch but him. He asked me to come over just to watch you, lest you covet you and do things that make people unable to get off the stage. ”

Dugu Xiude's expression froze on his face, which was too much of a slap in the face. Dare to love my son not to greet his father, but to spy on his father! Dugu Xiude was furious and said, "You rebel, who is your father!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, don't be angry, I don't think what the virtuous brother said is wrong." ”

Dugu Jiu glanced over and said, "I'm not your virtuous brother, it's almost close." The eldest brother said, you dead fat man has a very bad heart. ”

One sentence made the eldest grandson speechless, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and grinned: "Why do you say it so ugly......"

Just when this atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Li Mu finally appeared. Bi Laosan and a young craftsman followed behind Li Mu, Li Mu was full of spring breeze, Bi Laosan and the young craftsman looked a little excited.

"It's all here," Li Mu said hello, everyone hurried to salute, Li Mu introduced both sides, everyone was a word, only this young craftsman, he focused on it.

"This one is the rising star of our Ministry of Industry, Bi Jianzheng's nephew, Bi Menting. The clay type he invented, which I personally verified, has far surpassed all current textures of movable type. It is enough to meet the standard of applying for a patent, and I have asked him just now, and he is willing to sell the patent to the imperial court. With this patent, he was able to move from an apprentice to a mechanic to a technician. and get a property in an independent artisan's workshop, plus a one-time purchase of the patent for a thousand yuan. ”

After listening to Li Mu's words, everyone gasped. That day, I heard Li Mu speak impassionedly, and I thought it was a cake. I didn't expect him to really do this, a property, a thousand yuan, and a lowly craftsman changed his fate like this. Since him, the fate of his descendants, his children and grandchildren, has all changed. And all this is because of his clay type, a so-called 'patent'.

It's also worth a lot of money!

The craftsmen brought by Changsun Chong and the others were all red-eyed in an instant, and they saw hope!

Li Mu sent Bi Laosan and Bi Menting away, and asked them to go back to the Ministry of Industry to go through the formalities with the Patent Department. Zhao Youcai sent people out, Li Mu looked at the remaining three families, his eyes were small, and he said, "Look at the meaning, did each of the three of you bring three people?" I remember, I just said yesterday that we need to be united, what do you mean by that? ”

Changsun Chong hurriedly said: "It's definitely not deliberately against your arrangement, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence!" ”

The other two quickly chimed in.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, it's a coincidence, okay, the people from the eldest grandson's family come with me." ”

Dugu Xiude and Wei Chihuan panicked and said, "Master Hou, we also brought people here, why do you only teach the eldest Sun family?" ”

Without waiting for Li Mu to speak, the eldest grandson Chong smiled and said: "Hou Ye's secret method, who you like to teach whom, why, are you not convinced?" If you are not convinced, you can go back, as Hou Ye said, our company is one, my eldest grandson family has learned the secret method, you can also share the money, hard work, loss will suffer a little, our eldest grandson family will take care of it. ”

Yu Chihuan sneered: "Then why don't you let my Wei Chi family take care of it?" Luckily? ”

"Not good!" Dugu Xiude continued: "The two of you are both juniors, I, an elder, are here, how can I let the two of you take care of it, and when I see your father in the future, how can I explain?" If you suffer a loss, it's better for me to come alone! ”

"Uncle Shi, you're a little ......"

Seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, Li Mu took a deep breath and shouted, "Shut up for me!" Teach them all, come one by one, do you understand? You two are waiting, the people of the eldest grandson's family, come here! ”
