Chapter 315 I have a bottom line
This year's winter is particularly cold, and even though the room has been equipped with a stove for winter, it is still very cold.
The young man is angry and can resist it, but for old people like Mrs. Du and Old Man Mei, it is a little difficult.
When I went to ask Mrs. Du for peace in the early morning, I found that Mrs. Du was a little cold. However, although the stove has the effect of heating, it cannot be installed too much, otherwise it is very harmful to the human body.
Aiwu and Wu, Mrs. Du, whether it is age, illness, or even cold, is very similar to Wen Hou's mother. I couldn't bear it, so I planned to build another winter artifact that matched the stove, the radiator.
When drawing, Wen was still worried about whether the ancient sealing technology could pass the test, but when he personally supervised the craftsmen of the imperial belt to create a prototype with red copper to test the water, he was completely relieved.
"Good craftsmanship!" Looking at the exquisite radiators created by Zhang Yudai and others, I couldn't help but praise it.
"Sir, what is this? You're going to use it for water, but it doesn't look like a kettle, does it? Zhang Yudai said suspiciously.
"This is a radiator, a must-have artifact for winter." Wen smiled: "You guys will build more according to this specification." ”
"It's okay to build more, but this material ........ You also know that red copper is very expensive, and the key is that the government restricts transactions! Zhang Yudai said helplessly.
"This is to be dedicated to the Queen Mother and her old man, what's wrong with using some red copper!" Wen pouted.
"This........ Why don't we build it with iron? Zhang Yudai suggested.
"That's not good, pig iron is not as malleable as copper, and rust resistance. After a long period of use, it will easily rust away. You know, in the future, it will be filled with hot water, and once it leaks, whether it is scalding the Queen Mother or anyone else, it will outweigh the losses. Wen shook his head.
"The lowly man is soft-spoken, and he really doesn't have the ability to get the copper, but as long as the lord can get the copper, the lowly can guarantee that he will definitely ........ The radiator, according to the gentleman's drawings, is exactly the same. Zhang Yudai said with a smile.
“........ That's fine. Wen said helplessly: "But you can always tell me that you can get red copper there, right?" ”
"Mint!" Zhang Yudai said without hesitation.
“........”
Going to the mint to ask for red copper is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. Now is the interval between the Spring and Autumn Taxes, especially Zhao Lao Er has just played a trick of releasing military power with a glass of wine, in order to appease the generals of the court, I am afraid that the treasury that could have run rats has now even been able to starve to death.
Such a poor ghost who is eager to break a petal of money into an eight-petal flower, how can he allow himself to scrape the oil. This is not to save the expenses of the palace, and even to give his wife and daughters to the courtiers to support.
As for the reasons for recuperation and filial piety on the surface, it is all nonsense. In order to save expenses in the palace, I am afraid that this is the fundamental purpose of Zhao Laoer.
"Now the Queen Mother is waiting for her old man to use it in a hurry, and I don't have time to go to those officials to grind my teeth. Well, you will go find the stones later, and get twenty thousand copper coins from the treasury. It's all melted, and it must be enough for us. Wen said casually.
"........" is really the number one loser in the world! Hearing Wen Wen's bold words in an understated tone, Zhang Yudai and the others' jaws almost fell in shock.
"Is that okay now?" Smelled.
“........ Sir, bold! Zhang Yudai grinned.
The 20,000 copper coins are said to be melted, which is indeed very bold. After all, copper was actually money in ancient times, especially in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, in order to collect money, all parts of the country would privately mint coins, and the raw material for coinage was copper.
"Wenjue, it is indeed bold, no wonder he doesn't take millions of transactions to heart."
........ "Who is this?" Speaking in a weird way, as soon as Wen Gang turned around, he saw Ping Sihai standing at the door of the ironsmith workshop with a black face, looking unkind.
"Oh, it turned out to be a flat dart head, why did you have free time to come to Benjue's Mansion today?" Wen joked.
"Ping has something important to discuss with Wen Jue, I don't know if Wen Jue has time?" Ping Sihai took a long breath and said banteringly ignoring Wen.
"Benjue really doesn't have time today, I'm really embarrassed." Wen shook his head and said, "Why don't you wait a few more days?" ”
“........”
"My fourth brother is looking for you, there is really something important." Ping Shiyuan, the little pepper, flashed out from behind Ping Sihai's body.
"Even if something happens, you shouldn't be looking for me, I remember if we had already broken up? Now we shouldn't have anything to do with it. Wen said.
"You, how can you say that you will turn your face!" Ping Shiyuan said with a hint of grievance.
"You can't beat me up, that's what your fourth brother said first that he wouldn't cooperate with me." Wen raised his hand to stop.
"Yes........ That's just a momentary speech, so why should you take it seriously! Ping Shiyuan rolled her eyes and said.
"A manly man, once he says it, it's hard to chase the horse! Especially a hero like Ping Darthead, it is a mouthful of foam and a pit, and how can it be targeted. Wen smacked his lips.
"........" It's so annoying to hear this guy talk! When Ping Shiyuan saw Ping Sihai's face was red and black, his breath was already disordered. sighed in his heart and said: "At the beginning, my fourth brother just couldn't bear to let me suffer, so he didn't agree to your request in time, but he didn't directly refuse!" ”
"When I'm a fool! Do you have to say the word rejection explicitly, that's rejection! Wen hummed.
"Don't be vexatious, okay!" Ping Shiyuan said helplessly.
"Who is making trouble unreasonably, I just don't dare to talk to your fourth brother."
"Ahh Ping Shiyuan was surprised.
"Look at it, it's clear that we're just talking about collateral, but your fourth brother always thinks that I want to occupy a woman from a good family, which is a character who doesn't believe in me at all!
Since you don't believe me, then what are you talking about! Wen said angrily.
"........" Ping Shiyuan thought it was funny and angry, this damn smell was obviously an attempt on herself. Even a fool can see it, but he can still pretend to be so innocent and so sanctimonious.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Ping Shiyuan said with a wry smile.
"Talk, yes! But I'm telling you, I have a bottom line. Wen hummed.
"What's the bottom line?" Ping Shiyuan was stunned.
"That is, there must be collateral." Smell the railway.
"........" Ping Shiyuan finally understood, when she heard this guy, she still wanted to let herself be a maid for him, and she smiled angrily in her heart: "Collateral, you can have it." ”
"Also, I won't talk to your fourth brother." Wen Jiawei said.
"That's not a problem, I'll talk to you, it's okay, right?" Ping Shiyuan said helplessly.
"Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll make it difficult for me." It smells cheap and sells obediently.
