Ji Qingwen lived in the Dianshan Port of Songjiang Prefecture for a night, because he was still worried about the weaving of the yamen, so he ordered the next day to have the "Ming Wu Army", the imperial military number of the township brave regiment training, and went to Suzhou.

The group returned to their hearts like arrows and walked fast, and after walking for less than a day, they had already arrived outside the city of Suzhou.

Ji Qingwen had already sent Xiaoduozi to Suzhou on a fast horse, and informed Song Yingxing, Ge Sheng and others who were temporarily in charge of the affairs of the weaving yamen, and the concubine Xing'er naturally got the news.

When these people heard Ji Qingwen's triumphant return, they were naturally very happy, so they set up a banquet in the welfare workshop outside the Xiangmen in the south to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Ji Qingwen.

After a month of absence from Suzhou, Ji Qingwen saw these old people again, and he was naturally very relieved in his heart, and drank with everyone until the second half of the night, and then returned to the weaving yamen.

Xing'er hadn't seen Ji Qingwen for two months, and the first time she saw him, her eyes were already colorful, and she finally waited until the dinner was over, and then she encountered the opportunity to be in the same room with Ji Qingwen......

The next day, Ji Qingwen slept lazily, and then walked leisurely to the Yamen Weaving Workshop on Guanqian Street, and saw Song Yingxing and others presiding over the production of the weaving workshop inside, and all the work was orderly and orderly, which was better than when he left.

So Ji Qingwen found Song Yingxing and praised: "Speaking of which, I am still the weaving commander appointed by the emperor, but the production in the weaving workshop is all presided over by Song Xiaolian." The benefits of Song Xiaolian, I understand in my heart, I don't say much empty talk, it's December now, and it's about to be the Chinese New Year's Eve time at the end of the year, and the dividends of the weaving mill at that time, I understand ......"

Song Yingxing said with a smile: "Actually, students just like to fiddle with some tricks, and thank you for giving me such an opportunity." As for the dividends, the adults want to give it to me, but the students are naturally disrespectful......"

Ji Qingwen smiled again: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, Song Xiaolian takes money by his ability, so naturally he can't talk about anything respectful or disrespectful, it is all right and right...... But there is one more thing, I would like to ask Song Xiaolian for advice......"

Song Yingxing said: "Don't dare to 'ask', if you have anything to say, please say it directly." ”

Ji Qingwen said: "This time I was ordered to go north to King Qin, and fight with the Manchurian Tartars, our army did not fall behind, but the number is still too small, even before General Chen Wenzhao died, he also taught me to expand the army again, and restore the full strength of the Qi family army of 3,500 people." With so many soldiers, it is impossible to rely on weapons imported from abroad, so I would like to open a special arsenal......"

Song Yingxing hurriedly shook his hand and said, "My lord, I don't know how to make knives and guns......

Ji Qingwen smiled: "You won't be a new thing, it's weird." But it doesn't matter, money, I'll come

Flowers, Song Xiaolian went to research manufacturing. If it can be made, it will be the best; If you can't make it, it doesn't matter. ”

In fact, Song Yingxing likes to study some mechanical machines the most, and a large part of the money he took from Ji Qingwen was used to purchase various materials and tools, and now that Ji Qingwen gave him money to make these things, he was naturally extremely happy.

Therefore, Song Yingxing pushed the boat along the river and said: "It's okay, that student must do his best to do things for adults, and he will definitely be able to make weapons that are comparable to foreigners." ”

Ji Qingming said that the current time is about the first half of the 17th century, in fact, China's science and technology are not much worse than those of the West, as long as China has people of insight to catch up, and have enough investment and patience, it will be able to reverse the historical process that is falling behind Europe.

After discussing this important matter, Ji Qingwen looked through the account books of the past two months, and saw that the production of the woven yamen's tribute brocade was very efficient, and the trade route of transporting silk from Suzhou to Songjiang was not disturbed by others because of the temporary transfer of the Shaanxi rebels working in the port to protect it.

However, now Ji Qingwen does not make money by weaving the yamen alone, but by the yamen and the wharf, walking on two legs, so the importance of weaving the yamen is no longer what it used to be, and he does not take it completely to heart.

So Ji Qingwen said a few words to Song Yingxing, Ge Sheng and others, and then withdrew.

Walking out of the weaving workshop, Ji Qingwen raised his eyes and saw a three-story building next to him decorated with lights, and then he remembered an important thing.

Therefore, he hurriedly ran back to the weaving yamen, hurriedly found a holy decree, and then ran back to Guanqian Street, and plunged into the tall building next to the weaving mill.

It turns out that this high-rise building is not an ordinary teahouse and restaurant, but the "Qianyun Building" opened by Ma Xianglan, a famous old bustard on the side of the Qinhuai River in Jinling, in Suzhou. And although this "Qianyun Tower" itself is already very famous, it is not much inferior to the two or two people who live in it now.

And Ji Qingwen ran to the "Qianyun Tower" in such a hurry in order to meet the two important people.

"Qianyun Tower" has been open in Suzhou City for more than two months, and it has long passed the period of flowers and brocade and cooking oil at the time of opening, and has begun to enter the stage of long-term development and long-term development. Therefore, although there is still an endless stream of guests in front of this "Qianyun Building", it is no longer the grand occasion of the opening days ago.

So Ji Qingwen didn't have any obstacles, he stepped into the gate, and as soon as he walked to the wooden bridge in front of the atrium, a turtle came up to greet him: "Yo, it turned out to be Lord Ji!" I heard that Lord Ji only arrived in Suzhou yesterday, and the weavers ate and drank until midnight, but I didn't expect to come to the small shop today, the small shop is really flourishing and flattered! ”

It turns out that this turtle is the one who entertained Ji Qingwen in the first few days of opening, they

It's just a one-sided relationship, but the turtle man pretended to be extremely familiar, and slapped Ji Qingwen comfortably with a sycophant.

Although Ji Qingwen listened to his kind words, although they were empty, they were also very useful, and he casually shook off a small silver ingot of one or two silver from him, and said, "Go, take me to see Liu Ru is girl." ”

Liu Ru is known as the head of Qin Huai Bayan, both color and art, calligraphy and painting, and is very famous among the scholars in Jiangnan.

However, Ji Qingwen is naturally different, and it is very easy for him to see Liu Ruyi.

I saw that the turtle man agreed: "The villain knows, but Miss Liu has been weaker in the past two days, and I don't know if I can ...... But don't panic, the villain will go and discuss with the proprietress to discuss, and the keeper will not run in vain......"

As he spoke, the turtle boy flew away.

Ji Qingwen didn't wait stupidly on the bridge, while stroking the exotic flowers and plants specially planted in the atrium, watching the goldfish fed in the pond under the bridge, and occasionally laughing at a few dusty women who walked by him, he entered the atrium of "Qianyun Tower".

Now it is not yet noon, there are not many guests who come to have fun, in a rather wide atrium of "Qianyun Building", only a few tables of guests sit sparsely in the corners and corners, but there are more than 20 scholars of different ages, sitting around several tables, are fighting poems and texts, and talk happily.

At present, the atrium is a little deserted, but these scholars are talking loudly, which is very conspicuous, so that Ji Qingwen can't help but look at it.

But when he looked at it like this, he saw an acquaintance - it was Qian Qianyi, who was known as the leader of Donglin.

This Qian Qianyi went against Ji Qingwen several times, and conspired to recruit Zheng Zhilong, a sea merchant, planning to give Ji Qingwen a plan to draw a salary. Fortunately, Ji Qingwen was deaf and clear-sighted, and saw through Qian Qianyi's plan in time, and ordered Li Yuanyin's Jinyi guards stationed in Suzhou to put Qian Qianyi under house arrest in this "Qianyun Tower", which has been two months.

Although this Qian Qianyi was locked up in the "Qianyun Building" and was not allowed to go out for a single step, many protégés and former officials came to him, often sang poems and harmony with him, and sent gold and silver clothes over, but also raised him very thoroughly, and his complexion was much better than two months ago.

I saw Qian Qianyi singing the wind and the moon with a spring breeze on his face surrounded by a group of pedantic Confucian students, looking very leisurely, and it seemed that all the worldly disputes outside the "Qianyun Tower" had nothing to do with him.

Ji Qingwen looked at Qian Qianyi's dissolute appearance, but he was a little envious of the leader of Donglin - if he was willing to let go of all his responsibilities without restraint, the silver he earned in the past two or three years alone would be enough for him to live more comfortably than the emperor in the second half of his life......

At least it is more comfortable than Emperor Chongzhen.
