Hu Xueyan finally received a notice summoned by King Xuanjun.

The post noted "Please wear civilian clothes", no matter whether this politeness is true or not, Hu Xueyan naturally does not dare to take it seriously, and is still meticulous in his robe.

However, if he kowtows and salutes, because it is a "good family", "please change into civilian clothes" treatment, Hu Xueyan does not have to be polite.

went to the big hat in the side hall, took off his robe, changed into civilian clothes, re-entered the flower hall, and first made a long bow for the prince, after the king of Xuanjun sat down, Hu Xueyan shook it again, and then sat down diagonally.

At a glance, Guan Zhuofan had already seen the pattern on the guest's robe: with silk threads of similar color to the background color of the robe, embroidered with plum blossoms, and the buds were just blooming.

This silk robe, the color seems to be quite "low-key", but Guan Zhuofan knows that a group of noble children in Beijing who are very particular about food and clothing have such a atmosphere: within a day, at different times, the patterns on the clothes are different, budding in the morning, blooming in the morning, and blooming at noon.

Now is the moment, it is the time of "first bloom".

Well, it seems that Hu Xueyan has also caught up with this "fashion trend".

"The prince helps the crisis and ......"

"Xueyan, the two of us are friends," Guan Zhuofan waved his hand, "Don't say that there are some of these things." ”

A large number of words of praise for virtue were interrupted by Guan Zhuofan as soon as they started, and Hu Xueyan couldn't help but stagnate.

He hadn't read too many books, and he didn't say much about it. This rhetoric. The "draft" was repeatedly folded in advance. also went through the "polishing" of the Qingke under the door, and was forced to swallow it all back into his stomach, which was quite uncomfortable.

However, the words "the two of us are friends", I think the prince will not tell anyone, Hu Xueyan listened to it, his spirit was lifted, and he regretted that he could not spread the manuscript. I don't think so.

"I invite you to come, in addition to reminiscing about the past, there is something to see, I want to borrow your eyes to get a glimpse of the end."

Hu Xueyan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, please ask the prince to advise." ”

I thought to myself: What is it?

Guan Zhuofan shouted "Come", and a messenger in Tsing Yi held a silk cloth package and walked to the court.

Guan Zhuofan nodded: "Please take a look, Lord Hu." ”

Tingcha bowed slightly and handed the silk cloth package to Hu Xueyan.

Hu Xueyan hurriedly stood up. Take it with both hands.

Guan Zhuofan made a "untie it" gesture.

Hu Xueyan placed the package on the table next to the chair and carefully untied it.

At a glance. Hu Xueyan thought he was dazzled.

Wrapped in silk is a bundle of snow-white raw silk.

After settling down and making sure that he was not dazzled, Hu Xueyan thought: This shouldn't be raw silk - how can raw silk be so white? Well, isn't it some new tricks made by foreigners? Like something like "beep"?

With the touch of his hand, he finally determined: this is raw silk.

But where in the world is there such raw silk - smooth and snow-white and dazzling?

For a while, countless thoughts passed through Hu Xueyan's mind, and even his breathing became involuntarily short.

The change in the expression on Hu Xueyan's face couldn't escape Guan Zhuofan's eyes, and he nodded secretly to express satisfaction.

"Snow Rock, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Hu Xueyan was startled and woke up from his stunned state.

"Guang Yong lost his honor, the prince forgives his sins!" Hu Xueyan said, "I'm really ...... It's really ...... Uh, I've never seen such a good raw silk! ”

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "Guang Yong is presumptuous, please show the prince, where did this bundle of raw silk come from?" ”

"Japan."

"Japan?"

"Yes, there is a group of people in Japan who bought a batch of new reeling cars from France, metal skeletons, and steam drives, and this bundle of silk is reeled from this new type of reeling car."

Hu Xueyan opened his mouth, and for a while, he couldn't catch the conversation.

"I've also heard," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "This kind of reeling car, the speed of silk reeling, one can withstand more than a dozen of our current wooden reeling cars." If calculated manually, a new reeling car can withstand 30 manpower - that is to say, the output of a new reeling car in one day will take one month with labor. ”

The muscles on Hu Xueyan's face twitched involuntarily.

Guan Zhuofan stopped talking, picked up the bowl, and gently plucked the tea leaves on the water. Of course, this action does not mean "serving tea and sending guests", and he did not shout at the ear of the errand: "Send off guests-"

After a long while, Hu Xueyan's eyes suddenly lit up, he sighed softly, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately! Luckily, it's Japan! ”

"Lucky?" Guan Zhuofan frowned slightly, "What do you say?" ”

Hu Xueyan bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "What the prince said, in Japan, isn't that a promise?" ”

"Oh, I see what you mean." Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "You mean, tell me to think of a way to dispel the matter of buying a new reeling car and building a new silk reeling factory in Japan?" ”

"Uh, yes, this...... A qiē is in the Wangye Insight. ”

"Xue Yan," Guan Zhuofan said lightly, "The idea you hit is useless." ”

Hu Xueyan was shocked, and his face immediately turned pale.

He paused for a moment and said in a trembling voice, "Guang Yong...... Confused, please ...... Lesson. ”

Guan Zhuofan put down the bowl, and there was still a smile on his face: "Xueyan, we are good friends and close friends, so I won't be polite to you - if you change someone, I won't say that." ”

"Yes, yes, the prince is in love, and the light is inscribed."

"You're a big businessman," Mr. Kwan said, "and you're known for your credibility." Well, isn't it to make money by providing good goods to customers? When did you change your course - make money by eliminating people's good goods and forcing customers to buy their own inferior goods? ”

This was said even more heavily, Hu Xueyan couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up, bowed down and said, "The prince has taught you a great lesson!" Guang Yong is afraid, Guang Yong is ashamed! ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, and even if I do what you say—but what if it is not the Japanese locals who open a new silk reeling factory in Japan, but the British and French? You say, what can I do to make foreigners not use their own new machines, but have to use our earthen reeling cars? ”

"This ...... Guang Yong is thoughtless and ashamed! ”

"I'm wondering-" Guan Zhuofan stared at Hu Xueyan's eyes, "Isn't there a way for 'Hu Caishen' to make silk as smooth and white as this bundle?" ”

Hu Xueyan snorted twice, and after a while, he finally said with difficulty: "The word 'God of Wealth' is a joke of outsiders, how can Guang Yong deserve it?" Well, Lord Wang, in fact, we are not without a way to reel out the generally slippery, ordinary white silk - just buy this new type of reeling car! ”

After a pause, he said, "However, Guang Yong still has a good relationship." ”

"You say."
