Bai Shanzi saw that Zhu Shun didn't speak, and he sighed in his heart, could it be that his idea of buying a batch of flying shuttle looms was seen through with the help of his grandson worshipping him as a teacher.

Bai Shanzi pondered for a moment and continued: "As long as Mr. can agree, the old man will invest eight hundred taels of silver to build a real school. ”

When this sentence fell, everyone in the West French Party felt that how could this person do business in Nanyang, you must know that these West French people who are good at tricks and tricks are rarely able to receive disciples.

After learning Western Law, not to mention the money, I can't pass the exam, and if I want to apprentice, of course, I have to worship those Confucians who are proficient in Bagu Wen.

Bai Shanzi, a famous legend in Songjiang Prefecture, started from scratch, from a small workshop with only a dozen people, to today has ten workshops, thousands of spinning women, and the business has been done in Nanyang.

With the ingenuity of Bai Shanzi, a business wizard, he should not push his grandson into the fire pit, and now not only pushed, but also gave away a huge sum of eight hundred taels of silver, and also pushed his grandson in.

Zhu Shun's performance made the West French people even more incomprehensible, they didn't agree, they didn't refuse, and took out a test question: "Old man Bai gave this test question to his grandson, if he can do half of the questions correctly, I will accept him as an apprentice." ”

Bai Shanzi snatched the test questions and was in a good mood: "This is what Mr. Zhu said, but you are not allowed to regret it." ”

Zhu Shun nodded, stood up and walked to the gate: "The ribbon-cutting ceremony hasn't been carried out yet, let's finish the ribbon-cutting ceremony first." ”

After another refurbishment, the Song weaving workshop, the outside is all built with blue bricks and black tiles to build a brick wall, and a pair of stone slings are placed at the gate.

For every 100 Song's flying shuttle looms, a workshop was established, and one workshop after another was neatly arranged in the north of the workshop, and there was a large open space further north, which was later used to build a new workshop.

Clothespoles, and public toilets were built on the south side, and on the west side was a proposed wharf for transporting goods.

Zhu Shun walked to the gate, and two handsome maids stood on the left and right, dragging a red cloth in their hands, and a big red flower in the middle.

Old Lady Song and the others couldn't understand what this meant, but it looked quite festive: "Brother Bai Xian, let's go together." ”

Bai Shanzi didn't realize that there was anything grand about this ribbon cutting, and when Song Shiyi lit the cannon, in the sound of 'crackling', he was instantly infected by a festive atmosphere.

Especially when Bai Shanzi took the gold-plated scissors and cut the red cloth strips with the old lady Song, there was only one thought in his heart, if he expanded a new weaving workshop in the future, he would also have a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Song Shiyi waited until Grandpa Bai and Grandpa Bai cut off the red cloth strips, and forcefully pulled the red cloth covering the plaque, and in the eyes of the West French people who watched the ceremony, five bronzing characters appeared.

Song's Weaving Factory.

In addition to the West French party, there were two other people who witnessed this scene, Chongzhen, who was privately interviewed by Weifu, and Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor.

was also infected by the festive and grand scene in front of him, and the sorrow in Chongzhen's heart diluted a lot, and the tired face that had not shown a smile for a long time invisibly evoked a hint of laughter.

Zhu Shun was also going to buy materials for the construction of the Newkemen steam engine, so he didn't participate in the Song family's banquet, and rode the little donkey before he could go far, when he saw Chongzhen standing in the wasteland.

Wang Chengen gave Zhu Shun a look, signaled him to keep quiet, and went to Wang Gongju thirty miles away together.

Sitting in Wang Gongju's public office, Zhu Shun replaced the person serving tea with his younger brother Zhu Yu, so that he and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty were familiar with each other.

In the end, there is an advantage in looking good, Chongzhen couldn't help but look at Zhu Yu a few more times, and Wang Chengen couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhu is really full of talents here, I didn't expect that there would be such a little Langjun with red lips and white teeth." ”

Zhu Shun smiled and clarified Zhu Yu's identity: "This is the younger brother of this official." ”

Wang Chengen knew that Zhu Shun had six cousins, because he had been envious of this for a long time, and he was thriving.

I deliberately said the sentence just now today, but I actually said it to Chongzhen, and continued to mention it: "Brother Ling is really a talent." ”

Regardless of whether Chongzhen has it in mind or not, it is much better to say it than not to say it.

Zhu Shun wrote down Wang Chengen's favor and looked at Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne: "The emperor came to find Weichen this time, what's the matter?" ”

Chongzhen didn't speak.

It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's a little difficult to say, and this matter still needs to be said by Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen understood what the emperor meant, and sat down on Zhu Shun's head from the Taishi chair opposite: "Don't hide it from Mr. Zhu, all the silver earned from the Donglin Party and Jin Merchants last time was used to help the victims." ”

"There is still not enough food to eat, and there are still two million people in Daming who can't eat."

"Our family is wondering, can Mr. Zhu think of another way, can he open another gamble, and earn back the silver from the Donglin Party and the Jin merchants."

"Otherwise, these two million victims will definitely not survive this winter, Mr. Zhu, this is two million people of the Ming Dynasty."

In the end, Wang Chengen's voice had a hint of crying, if he was another eunuch, Zhu Shun would still maintain a certain amount of suspicion, but Wang Chengen would not, he was sincerely thinking about Daming.

Zhu Shun had already considered this serious problem, but it was an almost unsolvable problem, and now only the Jin merchants on the market had a large amount of grain in their hands.

After the first three gambling games, even if Jin Shang is crazy in his brain, he will not participate in any gambling games.

Are they people, or are they scheming top businessmen in the city government far beyond ordinary people, where would they be stupid and keep sending money and food to Zhu Shun.

However, Zhu Shun can solve this problem from another aspect, but there is still a lack of an opportunity, and it can only be solved when this opportunity comes.

Rubber tree.

The key is here, who knows when the opportunity will come, and it is better to say that next month will make a large number of victims starve to death.

Although the person who said the words was Wang Chengen, Chongzhen didn't speak, but he sat there, and he already showed an attitude, count me Chongzhen owing you a favor.

Zhu Shun thought for a while and said calmly: "Princess, this official can only say that he will do his best, and it depends on the will of heaven whether it will be achieved or not." ”

Wang Chengen knew that he was embarrassed for Zhu Shun when he said this, Wen Tiren, who was known as the hidden appearance of cloth, and Sun Chengzong, a national scholar, were helpless in the face of such a thorny problem.

The former muttered a sentence of the clan, and the latter said a word of the blessed king.

Halfway through the sentence, I sighed and stopped talking.

Chongzhen really had no choice, and the dead horse doctor came to Zhu Shun to see if this lucky star had a good plan.

As a result, Chongzhen was still disappointed.

Zhu Shun looked at Chongzhen, who was a little depressed in his back, called Zhu Yu, and asked him to buy the materials for the construction of the Newcomen steam engine according to the list of materials, and specially explained that he would buy it at eighty percent of the market price.

Leaving Wang Gongju, I went to the capital.
