Just relying on a few pieces of paper, of course, can't be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Empty words, this is an old saying for thousands of years. Because of this, before coming to Songjiang, Shi Yiwen specially asked craftsmen to make a hundred sets of "modification kits".

However, for people in the 16th century, this kind of "modification kit" that only required a shuttle box on both sides of the loom and then a simple modification completely changed their perception.

"Is that okay?"

The man who spoke was wearing a round-necked shirt with large sleeves, and at a glance he knew that it was made of high-quality silk, with a soap strip and a soft towel drape, and a jade belt at his waist, he was Liu Kun, the owner of Liu Ji Buzhuang, that is, on him, Shi Yiwen finally felt how "heroic" the local tyrants in the 16th century were. A few hours ago, as soon as he entered Buzhuang, Shi Yiwen saw several maids and more than a dozen servants walking over surrounded by this old man Liu.

According to Wu Cai, this is a common thing in Songjiang. Because this is not like Nanjing, there are many nobles in Nanjing, so the local tyrants naturally dare not be so arrogant, as for the nobles being stared at by the officials, they are naturally careful not to be arrogant, the nobles do not dare to show off, and the local tyrants will naturally not find trouble by themselves.

But after leaving Nanjing, it was different, in the locality, even the magistrate had to give three points of courtesy when he saw the wealthy gentry. There are no scruples about doing it naturally.

At this time, looking at the craftsman loading the shuttle box on the cloth machine, Liu Kun was completely dumbfounded. That's why I'm so surprised.

"Master Liu, if this weren't the case, how could Shi ask you for six thousand taels of silver?"

While Shi Yiwen grinned, he pointed to a cloth machine in the factory and said.

"If all of them are replaced with new machines, not to mention anything else, these 600 cloth machines, won't they be scrapped? Therefore, Shi meditated for several months before making it, with it, not only the output can be increased several times, but also there is no need to eliminate the old machine, as long as it is slightly transformed, so that when the craftsman improves the cloth machine, the cloth village can continue to weave cloth......"

Liu Kun stroked his beard, his eyes stared at the cloth machine that had been modified, and his tone became extremely calm again.

"Shi Gongzi, is it worth six thousand taels, but you have to wait until you try to weave it to know, Aunt Yun ......"

After speaking, Liu Kun called a woman over fifty years old. Then he told her and Shi Yiwen to learn how to operate the cloth machine, in fact, there is no need for any training, for these women who have woven cloth all their lives, they only need to know how to use it at a glance.

“…… Hold the cotton swab in the center of the loom and pull it to one side and push the other with the cotton swab......"

In Shi Yiwen's explanation, Aunt Yun quickly mastered the weaving skills of the new cloth machine, she held a cotton swab in one hand, and made each knot slide on time with the other hand, driving the shuttle and throwing it into the shuttle box on the other side of the loom. Compared with weaving in the past, it is indeed much faster and lighter.

If Shi Yiwen and Wu Cai have already seen the efficiency of "Flying Shuttle", then now it is Liu Kun's turn.

The Liu family is the old village of Songjiang's generational weaving, he grew up in front of the loom and the weaving mill when he was a child, which will be completely dumbfounded, Aunt Yun is the weaver he specially selected, she seems to be old, but in fact the craftsmanship is average, and the speed of weaving is not fast or slow. But now that she is operating the new cloth machine, she can obviously weave more than twice as fast as the fastest hand in the cloth house, and even the accumulated cloth is more solid.

This must be the credit of the new cloth machine!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Liu Kun would never have believed that there was such a magical thing in the world.

It's just a matter of adding two boxes!

"60,000,000 taels!"

Suddenly turned his gaze to Shi Yiwen, and at this moment, the smile on Liu Kun's face, who was usually full of smiles, disappeared.

"Shi Gongzi, I will pay 60,000 taels, you sell this shuttle to me, I don't know what Gongzi thinks?"

Looking at Liu Kun, who offered such a high price, Shi Yiwen just smiled and arched his hand to thank him.

"Thank you Liu Dongjia for appreciating it, but no matter what, Shi will not sell this thing to that person."

Looking at the loom that had been transformed in just one hour, Liu Kun sighed, and he looked left and right again, and many weavers around him were there to look at the weaving cloth in amazement. Those female weavers will definitely spread all this, and I am afraid that without waiting for the evening, all Songjiang will know the magic of the "new loom".

Liu Kun once again showed a cute smile on his face, and said with a stroking beard.

"In this way, Shi Gongzi, how many sets of this "flying shuttle" do you have, I bought them all at 50 taels per set, I don't know what Gongzi thinks? ”

Liu Kun, who retreated to the second, made this request because he wanted to transform his cloth machine as soon as possible, so as to put it into use first before others.

"Thank you Master Liu for your love, it's just that I have made an appointment with several other cloth houses, and I want to sell them some shuttles, I'm afraid I can only refuse Master Liu."

Shi Yiwen arched his hand and refused Liu Kun again, but seeing that after hearing his refusal, his expression became a little unnatural, and he added.

"However, there is a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Please give me advice."

Liu Kun, who was rejected one after another, responded without being salty.

"Master Liu, please take a look."

Pick up a shuttle, Edwin explained.

"This place needs to be made of stainless steel, and you have to be skillful to make it, I guess in Songjiang, there are not many craftsmen who can make it, Master Liu might as well find a craftsman first, so as not to find a craftsman first, and then affect the transformation of the loom."

Hearing this, Liu Kun couldn't help but stroke his beard and hands, glanced at Shi Yiwen, and his attitude towards him changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Well, what Shi Gongzi said is that if there is anything good in the future, please Shi Gongzi must think about Liu first!"

Looking at Shi Gongzi in front of him, thinking of this cloth machine that has increased its output several times with a slight improvement, he thought that since he can make such a machine, then he will definitely build other machines in the future, and there is no harm in maintaining a good relationship with him. Thinking about it, Liu Kun said again.

"Shi Gongzi, but you plan to sell this shuttle to various cloth houses in Songjiang? If this is the case, Liu also has some friends in the same industry who introduced him to Childe, I wonder what Childe thinks? ”

Shi Yiwen naturally felt the change in Liu Kun's attitude, and when he saw him taking the initiative to help, of course he would not refuse, so he thanked him again and again.

"Shi Gongzi, when it comes to thanks, or Liu Xie you, if you don't find Liu, how can Liu see the magic of the new yarn machine? In any case, it is also something to celebrate. Let's go to Fuguilou, one is to express Liu's gratitude, and second, it's good to introduce a few friends in the same industry to meet you. ”

Liu Kun seems to act flamboyantly, but he is actually a good talker.
