Chapter 159: Pawn or Discard

"Hey, I know that too." The village chief rubbed the corners of his clothes embarrassedly, "It's all from the villagers, and I'm embarrassed to refuse, but let's ask what you mean?" If you don't agree, I'll go back and say no. ”

With that, the village chief got up and was about to leave.

Xi Duyun stopped him and smiled and said, "But I didn't say I disagreed, now my water wheel pump is being made and developed, and it will be sold in the future." ”

"How much does it cost to buy one?" The village chief asked suspiciously.

"This hasn't been decided yet, and it's estimated that it won't be less than ten taels of silver." Xi Duyun said lightly.

In this era, any metal is a valuable item, not to mention that the water wheel pump can be replaced by other materials, she has replaced it with other materials, and what cannot be replaced can only be iron.

If steel can be smelted, it will be stronger and less likely to rust, so the cost should not be as high as before.

But it's just thinking about it, has he been exposed to this knowledge before, he only knows that there is such a thing, but he doesn't know how to smelt it, he thought about what idea he could achieve from the red envelope, but the red envelope has not appeared for a long time.

When the village chief heard this, he said, "What? It will cost ten taels of silver. ”

"The materials are too expensive." Xi Duyun sighed, "If it was cheap, I wouldn't be so prevaricated." ”

The village chief frowned slightly, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I also know that the villagers in the township add up to not enough ten taels of silver. ”

Xi Duyun smiled, "There is another way for them to choose, but I don't know if they agree or not?" ”

"What's the solution?" The village chief asked suspiciously.

"I make water wheels and pumps for them, and when the autumn harvest comes, they give me a certain percentage of the grain, which is regarded as rent, can they agree to this proposal?" Xi Duyun said.

Next year's grain is also relatively expensive, this transaction is not a loss, not to mention, in the form of leasing water wheel pumps, once a year to collect grain, it will also recover the cost, if the villagers still want to use it in the second year, she can also collect rent.

The village chief thought about it, and this was a good proposal, "I'll go back and ask and see if they can agree?" ”

"Okay, you tell them that I won't charge too much, 5% per acre, calculated by year, if you still want to use it in the second year, then you have to recalculate, of course, they can also choose to buy the water wheel pump directly from me, I will not charge any fees in the follow-up, and I will also have a three-year warranty, and I can be responsible for any problems." Xi Duyun said in a deep voice.

This sales rule, she also wrote in the contract to Li Si, Li Si also agreed very much, after all, after considering that many people can't afford it, several villages use one, they collect rent, and they can earn back the capital in one year, and they may even make money, and the second year is completely pure profit.

All businesses are basically not profitable from the beginning, and you can't be in a hurry at this time, and you must be prepared for a long time.

The village chief nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and explain it to them." ”

Xi Duyun smiled, got up and said, "Village Chief, all the villages around here can be used to see which village needs it, according to the rules I just said, that large area is relatively high, presumably they can also use it." ”

The village chief knocked his hat on his head and nodded incessantly, "Such a good thing will definitely be very popular, and I will definitely complete the task assigned by Miss Xi." ”

"Then I'll thank you here." Xi Duyun smiled and lowered her head.

"Don't dare, don't dare." After the village chief said some polite words, he went out and left quickly. Love you eBook

Cuiyun packed up the tea set, and then said: "I thought it was some kind of iron bump, but I didn't expect everyone to compete for it." ”

"Good things, don't be afraid of the pearl dust, this time is also a good opportunity, there are so many people to do publicity, things will definitely be able to sell." Xi Duyun said with a smile.

Cuiyun nodded, "It's still early, are you going to the Sugar Heart Pavilion?" ”

Xi Duyun thought about it, she is a boss, and going there is nothing more than supervising work, I don't know what happened to the rice she planted, and she is relieved to have someone to take care of her, but I hope it can be as she expected.

"Let's go to the greenhouse." With that, Xi Duyun walked towards the backyard.

Now that the weather is warmer, the rice grows very quickly and looks lush, but it may come from a different place, and the rice grows differently.

"If the temperature is good, it should be able to grow twice a year, but now they are growing so tall that they will soon bear ears." Xi Duyun said with satisfaction: "If the hybridization can be successful next year, the rice will grow taller and the rice will be fuller." ”

If she could exchange the rent of the water wheel pump for food, she would definitely give it to those in need in the coming year.

Zongzheng Lord Zhao still didn't save it, and he used the crime of witchcraft to exterminate the three clans, or Gu Xizhou saved the lives of the three clans.

Even though he knew that the emperor would be suspicious, but he couldn't care so much, the emperor's words, in fact, had already been determined in his heart that he was a conspiracy, at this time, it was too late to avoid suspicion, it was better to go out and protect him.

Now he is in a hurry to attack both sides inside and out.

The prime minister still felt that he was inadequate, "It's time for the next one." ”

Zhang Sheng hugged his fists, "Our recent actions seem to be a little too public, if it attracts the emperor's attention, it will not be good." ”

The prime minister gritted his teeth with hatred, "These people are in my way, I didn't break them into thousands of pieces, it's already my mercy, I want to eradicate them one by one, those who are not guilty will make something out of nothing, and those who are guilty will add fuel and vinegar, it is best to be involved in things related to the disaster, the emperor is very taboo in this regard, I am afraid that once this matter comes out, no one will be able to keep it." ”

"But do we really want to openly go against the Six Princes, the Six Princes tried their best to protect Lord Zhao and saved his life, and if he attacks next time, our people are afraid." Zhang Sheng cleared his throat and said.

"It's just a half-old stinky boy, what's there to be afraid of?" The prime minister said disdainfully.

Zhang Sheng sighed, he vaguely felt that if he continued like this, he would become a pawn, and he would be the first to shoot the first bird, and he would be the first one who couldn't be saved.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "These two times are all talked about by me, and the emperor may have noticed me, the prime minister might as well change someone, the emperor may trust me more." ”

The prime minister squinted at him, "Are you retreating at this time?" ”

Zhang Sheng hurriedly waved his hand, "That's not it, it's just that, cough, there is someone who can help the lower officials, I'm afraid it will be easier to succeed if it's a one-night stand, if I do too much, it's the prime minister who will attract attention." ”

"No one knows you're my protΓ©gΓ©." The prime minister smiled coldly, "You are a dark stake I buried, who can you use without you at this time?" Just let it go, I'll help you out there. ”

Zhang Sheng listened, but his heart was cold, the prime minister made it clear that he was going to sell him, if he was really noticed by the emperor, the prime minister would not save him, because he was just a secret stake of the prime minister, a chess piece that no one knew and could be betrayed at any time.

After thinking about it, I don't feel scared, but I'm just a little disheartened.

He sighed deeply, it seems that he has to think of a way out for himself, otherwise one day, in his sleep, he may lose his life, a person like the prime minister, is he not clear?
