Zhang Shou just helped Zhu Tingfang to go in first, leaving Zhu Ying in a daze, which was to let the eldest lady calm down; And now that the eldest brother has almost understood the situation, and found that there is nothing wrong with the person, there is Zhu Er, a righteous one-mother and younger brother, who is there to take care of Zhu Tingfang, of course he has to turn around and go back to Zhu Ying.

Otherwise, even if you look back, you can be sure that your eldest brother is really safe and sound...... What to do if your fiancée flies?

Sure enough, when he hurried back to the front yard, he saw Zhu Ying raise his sleeve and wipe his eyes, and then suddenly turned his head and walked towards the gate of the county government. He was secretly glad that he was chasing him out quickly, and hurriedly called Yingying. Seeing that the eldest lady first stopped, and then continued to walk out as if she was angry, and the pace was even faster, he could only simply stride after it.

"Yingying, where are you going?"

"Didn't you just ignore me and just help my eldest brother away?" After replying, Zhu Ying glanced at Zhang Shou's face that was deflated at a glance, and there was no way to speak ill of it, so she whispered after a while, "I'll go find a place to vent my anger, calm down, and save myself from being said to be willful by the eldest brother again!" Maybe you will be said to be willful! ”

"How can I say you're wayward? I know you're annoyed that your big brother doesn't value himself. ”

Hearing Zhang Shou say this, Zhu Ying had to snort hatefully: "That's right! Even if you say that the eldest brother thinks that I am going to get married, so I feel that I am willful, naïve and immature, and I will be disliked by you in the future, and he can't give me anger all the time, and he will suffer from gains and losses all the time...... But he shouldn't have to hide everything from me, I don't have such a big mouth, and I won't spoil his business! ”

"Your eldest brother still came to Cangzhou with me to accept the holy order, he didn't even say a word to me, even Du Heng was notified on the spot, forcing people to come, how could he reveal the secret to you? You're angry that he's hiding from you...... But you must know that many men in the world are like this, at home or light and breezy, or lazy and inactive, or desperate outside, or decisive in killing. ”

Hearing Zhang Shou praise his eldest brother so much, the anger on Zhu Ying's face finally gradually put away a little, but she was still a little unhappy: "Obviously, it can be more secure, why do you have to fight like this!" Just let Du Heng go out and take down those people...... Besides, Uncle Hua is elusive, and if he goes out alone, he may be able to take them all down. ”

"If people don't do it, even if they arrest all people, what kind of crime will they be charged? To put it mildly, I think your eldest brother is planning to kill people, and what he wants is such a deterrent effect of killing in one fell swoop. Anyway, it will definitely not be the emperor's person, then, no matter which side it is, if it loses such a group of dead soldiers, it can only knock out its teeth and swallow it in the stomach, at most draw a circle and curse your eldest brother. ”

"Poof...... Draw a circle curse...... Ah Shou, you are so funny! ”

Knowing that this was just irony, Zhu Ying tilted her head and imagined the joyful picture of the mastermind behind the scenes cursing people in circles, and couldn't help laughing. With Zhang Shou's explanation, her mood gradually improved unconsciously.

But if she wanted to go to see her eldest brother immediately and ask for warmth, she couldn't pull down this face, so she simply grabbed Zhang Shou.

"Regardless of the eldest brother, let's go see Zhang Chen and Jiang Da. Anyway, this time, the eldest brother is in charge of long-term peace and stability, and you are in charge of the people's livelihood. ”

Zhang Shou couldn't resist the eldest lady, so he had to let it go - as for whether Zhu Tingfang would sulk because Zhu Ying didn't care about his brother, he couldn't take care of it - even if he was the eldest brother, he fought so hard that he was angry with his sister, so he didn't have to pay the price? But even so, he still called Zhu Yi, who did not retreat on the side.

It's not good to ask Zhu Tingfang directly about some things, can't you ask Zhu Yi who went to send a letter to Du Heng?

Jiang Dashao was okay, he knew his identity, and he always sat honestly, but Zhang Chen couldn't help pacing back and forth, but he stopped at the door several times. Sitting in the room waiting for news has never been Zhang Chen's style. However, he was going out to inquire about the news, but Ah Liu was watching the door outside, and just glanced at him, so he obediently retreated back and continued to wait.

Therefore, when he heard the voices of Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying from outside, he was simply relieved, and quickly opened the door to greet him. Before he could ask, Zhang Shou pointed to Zhu Yi behind him and said, "You don't need to ask, I just heard a scale and a half claw from Brother Zhu, so I called Zhu Yi over, and let him tell him what was going on." ”

Zhu Yi is not a storyteller, and he is afraid that Zhu Ying will be even more angry when he hears about the dangerous situation at that time, so he tries to be as concise as possible. Moreover, in order to please the eldest lady and the prospective aunt, he also deliberately repeated Zhu Tingfang's words about sneering at the other party at that time.

Realizing that it was the allusion that when he faced Ding Hai in Qingfeng Xu Laitang, he casually used the annoying villain to die when he was sarcastic, Zhu Ying actually told Zhu Tingfang quickly, Zhang Shou couldn't help crying and laughing.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Boss Zhu, who has always been serious, to tease people, and he is quite vicious!"

Zhang Chen also experienced the night when the traitors attacked, and naturally empathized with the background of Zhang Shou's words, and couldn't help laughing at this time.

And Jiang Da on the side rarely saw Zhu Ying laughing happily, but he was a little frightened, regretting that his eyes were not enough, and he didn't see the opportunity to retire quickly.

This kind of thing is likely to involve infighting in the royal family or even deeper conspiracy, what did he, a small rich young master of Cangzhou, do when he heard it? Zhu Tingfang ruthlessly killed everyone today, and the black man behind the scenes turned back and became angry, but he couldn't move the daughters of the noble sons with deep backgrounds in front of him, would he find him to vent his anger?

Zhang Shou saw Jiang Dashao's depressed face, and after Zhu Ying laughed, he finally seemed to have completely eliminated Zhu Tingfang's mustard, and said with a smile that he wanted to go to see how the eldest brother was, and Zhu Yi hurriedly escorted the eldest lady away. When the door closed again, Zhang Shou diverted the topic.

"Jiang Da, since you have already made a trip to each family today, and everyone is willing to take out the hoarded cotton, let's plan for the resumption of work. But the machine was destroyed so much that it would be impossible to make it for a while, and before resuming work, each family first sorted out the list of former employees, and gave a ration according to the list, so as not to have a famine. ”

When Zhu Tingfang first arrived, although he first took Xian Yunhe, and then took Xu Cheng and the eldest prince of Changlu County, the key to his ability to suppress the chaos was ...... It was he who directly sealed the "small treasury" of the eldest prince, took a sum of money out of it, and bought a batch of grain at a reasonable price on the grounds that the eldest prince regretted his previous ghostly tricks, which was used to appease the group of homeless people who lost their land and lost their jobs.

Of course, the rations were only distributed for five days...... It's not that the eldest prince's money is not enough, but because Zhu Tingfang's generosity to others must also have a limit. Moreover, a certain Suzhou businessman who had used the small means of lowering prices or not collecting cotton yarn to collude with the prince and the big households had already slipped away early and was no longer in Cangzhou, and he was afraid that the grain merchants would also come to this trick.

After all, grain merchants are also profit-seeking, and they have nothing to do with the radical change of good people, so Zhu Tingfang cannot always forcibly "buy peace".

Hearing Zhang Shou's words, Jiang Dashao hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm unwilling, how much is a hundred and ten stone grain?" After I went to those houses, I felt that people were panicked, some people were already at odds with the head of the family, some people were accused of being informed, and General Mingwei sent someone to arrest the brothers and nephews who were imprisoned were not close, and felt that they were innocent, so they wanted to break up the family or sell their property and leave. ”

"Although there is really not much money for a hundred and ten stone grains, if they call for a collision with the sky, it will not be easy to deal with...... Moreover, not everyone is cowardly and incompetent like the boss of the Qi family, and some people actually have ideas and ideas, but they are suppressed and neglected too harshly on weekdays. Each has its own ideas, and it's hard to twist them into a rope to do things......"

Zhang Chen saw that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were all looking at him, so he said helplessly: "There are such people everywhere." Today I accompanied Jiang Da to those five families, and the Liu family and the Wang family are like this. Although the hoarded cotton is willing to spit out at a low price, and he also promised to resume work, he is afraid that the court will investigate the radical change of good people, and even if he is willing to take out this ration at that time, he is afraid that the follow-up resumption of work will be ripped off. ”

"Oh. That's not forced, just let them spit out the hoarded cotton. Zhang Shou smiled, looked at Zhang Chen and said bluntly, "What was put into use in Cangzhou before was just a new textile machine, and a new loom with higher efficiency." If they don't want to do ......"

Glancing at the stunned Jiang Dashao, he smiled and said, "Then Jiang Dalang, you might as well take over their hired workers." ”

Jiang Dashao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said incredulously: "New style...... A new type of loom? Can it be the same as that spinning machine...... Is it just as fast? God, if only one man could weave seven or eight people......"

He pinched his fingers desperately, trying to calculate efficiency and profits, but he was not such a smart person with brains at all, pinched for a long time, and finally the whole person was a little confused, the only certainty was that when the new textile machine touched the new loom, then the end of the original restriction on cotton production was completely broken.

If this is the case, this accident is not a blow to the Jiang family at all, but a great opportunity!

Jiang Dashao pinched his palm again, making sure that he was not dreaming, and then said cautiously: "Dr. Zhang, what you just said is true?" Seeing Zhang Shou bowing slightly, Zhang Chen on the side sneered, with an expression of if you don't believe it, he hurriedly said loudly, "If that's the case, I should do everything I can to appease the previous employees!" ”

As soon as he said this, another thought suddenly popped into his heart, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but shudder.

Although he knew that he probably shouldn't say this, since he thought about it, he still said stubbornly: "If the efficiency of the spinning machine and the loom are so many times higher at the same time, then I am afraid that there is really no need for so many people to use it." Even if all the people are hired and raised now, it won't last long...... After all, cotton is limited, and cotton fields are even more limited! ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou not only stopped him, but bowed his head slightly, signaling him to continue, Jiang Dashao suddenly felt a little more confident.

Jiang Dashao took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say: "Moreover, even if this new loom, Dr. Zhang, you want to hide it from outsiders, but if the cotton cloth is shipped too quickly, someone will definitely find out the clue." And the people who work in the workshop will definitely not keep their mouths shut, and it is inevitable that some people will be tempted by profit to sell the key to those businessmen who are eager to sell it. ”

But by that time, there will probably be many more unemployed workers in the world. Turmoil like Cangzhou will continue to happen. ”

"Hey, don't be alarmist! There is a reason for the incident in Cangzhou this time, if it weren't for the master, I would be in Xingtai ......"

Zhang Chen almost said the secret of his "selling cotton at a high price", but it was too late to close it at this time, and he suddenly hesitated and didn't know what to say next. But at this moment, he heard Zhang Shou speak.

"The matter has come to this, Zhang Chen, tell Jiang Dashao about the good things you did in Xingtai. Let him know how the eldest prince and several of them fell to such a point because of a moment of greed. ”

Now that Zhang Shou opened his mouth, Zhang Chen suddenly lifted his spirits. This time, he hid his head and pretended to be injured and fled from the capital, first hiding his identity, and then playing with a large number of people in the palm of his hand, but he couldn't tell people, that kind of itchy taste was like a brocade clothes walking at night, blind. Therefore, he smiled and immediately began to brag about his great achievements.

Jiang Dashao heard that Zhang Chen had taken on the name of the second prince's subordinates when he arrived in Xingtai, and his eyes were already straight. When he heard that someone had sent the eldest prince over to join him, he couldn't even close his mouth.

When he heard that Zhang Chen used the financial support given by his family, he turned his left hand into his right hand, and used a piece of the new loom, sold the cotton at a high price, and then exchanged the cash with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu for cotton yarn, and the cotton yarn was then woven into cotton cloth, and then transferred to the cloth merchant...... For the first time in his life, he felt that his father, who he had always admired, and the old fox Qi Yuanwai and others were really stupid, so stupid that they were carried away by such a simple trick.

After a series of circulation, ordinary people only saw the high price of cotton in front of them, so they all thought that Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu were stupid and had a lot of money, so they desperately hoarded cotton, and this trend even spread from Xingtai to Cangzhou, so that the eldest prince and his father Jiang and several others were greedy, and finally caused this Cangzhou civil uprising.

Why is it really so bothering......

The more Jiang Dashao thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and the more he thought about it, the more powerless he became, but he suddenly heard a few words that shocked him.

"You just said that if such an efficient textile machine and loom are implemented in the world at the same time, the rich will definitely use fewer hired laborers, and there will inevitably be a popular uprising like Cangzhou in many places, which is indeed not alarmist. When I went to see Xian Yunhe today, he also said that when I found that the cotton fields were so profitable, from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River, wouldn't countless rice fields and wheat fields become cotton fields? Where will the food come from? ”

Seeing Jiang Dashao looking at him in horror, Zhang Shoufang said word by word: "One is that the number of unemployed people may increase, and the other is that the grain field may decrease." If these two things are combined, there may be only one result. ”
