"Father-in-law! You come here, what are you doing with so many things? Outside Chen Jialuo's yard, the convoy was about to block the alley, and a sturdy man sweated profusely and carried a large box from the car to the yard, Lin Zhennan was staring at their movements with a red face, for fear that the gift he had carefully prepared would be damaged.
"Virtuous son-in-law, look at it, it's almost the New Year, and there is no movement in your mansion at all! If I don't help you prepare, who will bother with this mind? Lin Zhennan said confidently.
I don't like these again, I have to go around during the Chinese New Year, and I can't say how good it is to stay at home for a few days, and besides, Yuan Zhi has almost prepared things! Chen Jialuo was speechless, in the eyes of a wealthy family like Lin Zhennan, Chen Jialuo's preparation was indeed simple, completely inconsistent with his current identity as the lord of a province, since the things had been sent, it was not good for people to take them back, Chen Jialuo hurriedly asked the housekeeper in the house to come out to help take care of it, and he took Lin Zhennan to the inner room to serve tea and talk.
Lin Zhennan waited for a moment and saw that Lin Jing hadn't come out yet, so he asked, "Virtuous son-in-law!" Where is Jing'er? ”
"Well, she's been helping Mr. Dai with the preparation of the new school recently!" , The relationship between Lin Jing and Chen Jialuo has eased a lot these days, but the two of them are busy with their studies every day, and they usually have little time together, and the last step has not been completed, but now that there is a new school in Fuzhou, Lin Jing and Li Yuanzhi will work in it. , there are many opportunities for the two to meet in the future, and sooner or later she will be eaten by Chen Jialuo.
"Hey, what kind of physique does my daughter's family show up all day long!" , Lin Zhennan's face was entangled, seeing that Huo Qingtong's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and his daughter was not in a hurry at all, so how could he say it.
"Father-in-law. Don't let Luo's family hear what you say! Chen Jialuo joked, the equality of men and women is not a lip service, it needs to be achieved with the development of industrialization and after women have independent economic ability, and Chen Jialuo does not want to bring it up openly now. It was only in his sphere of influence that the bad habit of foot binding was abolished, and at the same time, special girls' classes were opened in schools at all levels, female workers were introduced in some special departments, and the cadres of the Red Flower Society were forbidden to marry foot-bound and illiterate people, and gradually emancipated women from all aspects.
"When I didn't say it!" , Lin Zhennan quickly reacted, in addition to Luo Bing, Huo Qingtong is also in charge of the army, if his words are spread, I am afraid that people will misunderstand Huo Qingtong, so as to set up two unnecessary enemies for his daughter's daughter in Chen Jialuo's backyard.
"My father-in-law came just in time! If you don't come, your son-in-law is planning to visit! ”。 When Chen Jialuo saw that his goal had been achieved, he no longer dwelt about it, and turned to another thing.
"Oh? What does Chief Helmsman Chen command? Lin Zhennan immediately changed his name, and after handing over the fleet in his hand, he had nothing else to do except train the recruits, and he was almost rusty for a long time.
"Father-in-law, please look!" , Chen Jialuo got up and took out a small bag from the back and handed it to Lin Zhennan, "What do you think is the difference between this flour and the ones sold on the market?" ”
Lin Jiabao also has many industries under its umbrella. Among them is the mill, and Lin Zhennan is no stranger to these things. He picked up a pinch of flour from his pocket, rubbed it, studied it carefully, and said, "This flour is finer and whiter than the one in my mill, and it tastes better. Isn't the price cheap? ”
"My father-in-law has good eyesight, but I'm afraid the price is lower than my father-in-law's shop!" Chen Jialuo reported a number that surprised Lin Zhennan!
"It can't be!" , Lin Zhennan said categorically, "The price of this wheat is the same!" Combined with the expenses of labor, livestock rations, freight and so on, I dare to assert that there is no mill in Fujian that can give this price! ”
"What my father-in-law said is that if you still adopt the current method of grinding noodles, let alone the whole of Fujian. Even the entire Qing Dynasty can't find that one that will sell at such a price! Chen Jialuo turned his words and pulled out the hole cards, "But this mill is not the kind of method that your father-in-law and your mill use!" ”
"Virtuous son-in-law, are you saying that someone has used a new method of grinding noodles?" , Lin Zhennan's heartbeat began to accelerate, Chen Jialuo would not say this in front of him for no reason, what does he mean now is to give this method to himself?
"Exactly!" Chen Jialuo took out a drawing and handed it to Lin Zhennan, "This is Mr. Gao's newly made flour grinding machine, all of which are driven by steam engines, in addition to the cost of the machine, both the efficiency and the cost of operation are much better than the existing mill!" ”
"Oh? I don't know how much this machine costs? Chen Jialuo reported a number, Lin Zhennan quickly calculated, if it can really be as efficient as Chen Jialuo said, the cost can be recovered in a short time. He immediately asked, "Son-in-law, can my Lin family buy a few sets of this machine?" ”
"That's exactly what I'm going to talk about this time! Now where Mr. Gao has produced ten sets of machines, and his father-in-law can take five sets! By the way, I'd like to ask my father-in-law to help sell the other five sets! Lin Zhennan has traveled extensively in Fujian, and he knows a lot of local tyrants, and it is much more convenient for him to come forward than the Red Flower Society.
"I can eat these ten sets for my family, so why give them to others!" , Lin Zhennan asked puzzled.
"My father-in-law is not an outsider, so my son-in-law said bluntly, this food is related to people's livelihood, and my safflower society will never let it be controlled by one person." , Chen Jialuo explained.
Lin Zhennan was also in his heart when he heard this, put away his intention to wrap up, asked about the details of Chen Jialuo's operation, and quickly finalized the intention of cooperation. Then Chen Jialuo took out a stack of drawings, on which were drawn all kinds of strange machines, "This is a loom, this is a machine for making nails, this is a machine for making matches"
At present, there are many local tyrants in Fujian who still remain in the territory of the Honghua Society, they have a lot of cash and resources in their hands, if they don't use it is too wasteful, Chen Jialuo took out a lot of promising drawings of daily necessities production machinery, and wants to use their funds and resources to complete the transformation of agricultural society to industrial society, and at the same time attract their attention from the land to industry and commerce, and clear the obstacles for the later land reform, then only let the army teach them to be people!
