Several people came to Wei Shuyu's room, Wei Shuyu asked the four of them about their harvest, and the four girls shook their heads.

"Childe, we have all asked, there is no house less than 100 guan in Chang'an City." Chunzhu said.

"Is it really that expensive? It seems that it will not be easy to move in the short term. Wei Shuyu sighed, he found that whether he was in the future or in the Tang Dynasty, he had no chance with the house in his life.

"Childe, let's cook." Since yesterday, the four of them have taken over the kitchen work from Uncle Wei, who is the housekeeper and cook. The food level of the four of them was many times stronger than that of Uncle Wei, an old man.

The difference can be seen in the amount of food eaten by the three younger brothers and one younger sister last night. Wei Shuyu also sighed with emotion about the cultivation model of the imperial court, and actually cultivated four all-round maids, so I don't know what happened in some aspects? It shouldn't be bad, Wei Shuyu really wants to see it.

Wei Shuyu moved the rubber and magnets he bought from the West Market in the afternoon into his room. Pack up a corner and put it away, these things, especially the magnet will be the key to solving the lack of power supply for the robot sledgehammer, and of course, the key to future development.

Wei Shuyu plans to build the generator first, and then charge the robot sledgehammer, and then he can use the sledgehammer to solve all kinds of problems as he wants.

After moving the materials, someone visited again. This time, the housekeeper Uncle Wei brought the person directly outside Wei Shuyu's room, and the person who came to Wei Shuyu knew that it was Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Speaking of Yan Lide, Wei Shuyu also learned a little.

This person was born into an aristocratic family of engineers, and was an architect, arts and crafts artist, and painter in the Tang Dynasty. During the period from Wude to Zhenguan, he was appointed as a young craftsman, a master craftsman, and a secretary of the Ministry of Works. At present, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and now he is responsible for the manufacture of Jenny spinning machines and flying shuttle looms.

"Yan Shangshu, hello."

"Shao Guogong, we are here to trouble you this time." Yan Lide brought five people with him, and several of them were accompanied by smiling faces, as if they had seen their ancestors.

"Eh, Yan Shangshu, I'm most afraid of troublesome things, hehe." Wei Shuyu's meaning is very simple, if it is troublesome, don't say it.

"Shao Guogong laughed, this troublesome thing was also brought to us by you." Yan Lide still greeted him with a smile, and several people behind him nodded yes, their faces full of flattery.

"Eh, several, don't look at me like that!"

"Okay, let's talk about it, whatever."

"You dedicated the two new machines to Datang, and the drawings you draw, we don't quite understand, hehe. There are also some strange symbols, and I don't know what they mean. ”

Yan Lide said as he spoke, and he was also a little embarrassed. I want to be born in a wealthy family, inherited by my family since I was a child, and I can be called the best in the Tang Dynasty in terms of architecture and craftsmanship. I didn't expect that as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, I actually felt at a loss to start with the drawings drawn by a fourteen-year-old boy.

His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for the Ministry of Industry to popularize the two machines as soon as possible so as to benefit the people. And I and others were stumped when they looked at the drawings at the first step.

If it weren't for seeing Wei Shuyu make a real thing, and also compete with traditional spinning machines and looms, he would have abused the old-fashioned machines at a speed of more than ten times. Then Yan Lide must think that this drawing is scribbled.

Yan Lide got the drawings and studied them overnight, and today he called his colleagues to study them, and in the afternoon he gave the drawings to his younger brother Yan Liben, but he didn't understand it. Yan Lide could only come to the Deng Guogong Mansion with a cheeky face and ask Wei Shuyu for advice.

"Well, this one. When I used it myself, I thought it was simple and easy to understand, so I continued to use it, but I didn't expect this kind of non-mainstream thing to cause trouble for several people. This is easy to do, come on, come on, let's study and study together. ”

Wei Shuyu didn't say a word, and directly helped a few people solve all the problems raised, and even made up for them well.

In the end, it fell on the second deposit. Wei Shuyu did not have time to teach a few Arabic numerals, but directly on the paper, he changed the Arabic numerals into the corresponding Chinese characters.

"Shao Guogong, can your weird symbol represent these dimensions?" Yan Lide and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw something in each other's eyes.

The Tang Dynasty numerals are all Chinese characters, and they are all capitalized, not stick characters of later generations. And seeing the characters used by Wei Shuyu, a simple two symbols can replace more than a dozen or twenty Chinese characters. This made Yan Lide and the six of them see the engineering drawing, and quoting this kind of counting will greatly improve efficiency.

"Of course."

"Can you tell us?"

"Can't!"

"Huh? Shao Guogong's ......"

"Well, you see, I don't have much ability now, and my family is notoriously poor. Now the emperor has sent four maids to take care of our family, but I can't even afford to pay for my family's salary, and I don't have a place to live. My second, third, and fourth boys are crammed into one room. Wei Shuyu sighed.

"Alas! I went to ask about the house price today, and it was high, just like the stars in the sky. So, I plan to sell this weird symbol to Qi Qiaoge, and then change to live in a house. ”

"Shao Guogong, our Ministry of Industry has a yard next to Xishi, I wonder if Shao Guogong is willing to go to live with his face?" Yan Lide is also a fine character, so he naturally heard the meaning of Wei Shuyu's words.

"In this way, the impact is not good, right? Yes? Wei Shuyu said.

"You have a relationship with our Ministry of Industry, there is nothing bad, and besides, the yard is generally idle, you just went to make the best use of it."

"A yard will be given to me?" Wei Shuyu asked again.

"Well, Shaoguo Gong, that's the courtyard of the imperial court, we said that you can live for free, as for the courtyard, it's still the imperial court, hehe."

"That's fine, that's fine. It's rare that Yan Shangshu is sincere, and if I refuse, it will be a little unkind. Then I'll move in tomorrow, hehe. ”

There is no way, Wei Shuyu can't afford to buy a house, and then he needs a special yard to engage in research, and it is convenient to engage in inventions. The West Market is also close to Deng Guogong's Mansion, just half an hour away, and it is also convenient to go home to visit the second elder.

"In that case, I will send someone to clean it up early tomorrow morning, so that the young prince can live."

"Uncle Yan, you are polite, don't be a young prince, just call me Shuyu, hehe." Wei Shuyu got a yard, even if it was for free for the time being. But when I moved in, I was afraid that the yard would not be surnamed Wei. In this way, how to look at Yan Lide's eyes, in addition, he is almost fifty years old, and calling him uncle seems kind.

In the future, the development of the Ministry of Industry is indispensable.

"Okay, I'll call you Uncle Yuxian and nephew."

"Uncle Yan, this time it's the kid who is unreasonable and takes advantage of you, don't take it to heart. Let's go, sit in the room, let's study Arabic numerals??? ”
