Chapter 873: Reminder
“........ Find a few clever and hard-working guys, and hand over the business of the northern steppes to them. The conditions in the north were difficult, and they were promised high wages and preferential treatment for their relatives......." After chatting about the wool, Chen Fei and Wang Tian began to discuss how to develop the business in the north.
At least at this point, the two have strategically agreed on the goal - grandma's, what he earns is the resources of his prairie!
"What about our sources of food and iron? Do we go elsewhere or buy a few stores? ”
Chen Fei pondered for a while and said: "The cost of purchasing things from other stores is too high, and everyone will have a very adverse impact on us in the future when we find out the business opportunities in the grassland. As for the furniture and ironware, we can produce them ourselves, so we don't have to worry too much...... By the way, I'll go back to Hu Kang, let's take measures according to local conditions, and specially design appliances for herdsmen that meet their living habits, so that they will be welcomed......."
The two discussed in the room for a long time, and when Yin Ping, who was sitting on the side, was about to doze off, they finally discussed the details.
The end result was a two-way split. Wang Tian went to look for people, the granary, and the wool that Chen Fei wanted. And Chen Fei went to the workshop to discuss with Hu Kang again.
After saying goodbye, the two went their separate ways. Chen Fei also "skipped work" for three days because of his personal affairs, and did not go to Shangshu Province to report.
Until the fourth day, when Chen Fei was humming a song in the yard and drying wool, the eldest grandson Wuji personally came to visit......
"Long... Uncle Eldest Grandson? Chen Fei's mouth was so surprised that it could stuff an egg. Linchuan stood behind Chen Fei and also saluted to the eldest grandson Wuji. "Meng Jiang has seen his uncle."
"Hehe, the princess doesn't have to be polite, speaking of which, since you got married, I, as an uncle, haven't come to see you, it's the old man's fault."
Lin Chuan hurriedly waved his hand, "Uncle said with a smile, naturally Meng Jiang should come to visit his uncle, how can an uncle come to visit his nephew." ”
"Hehe," Eldest Sun Wuji smiled and didn't speak, but his gaze turned to Chen Fei. Seeing this, Linchuan retreated with interest, and in the hall, only Chen Fei and the eldest grandson Wuji were left.
The atmosphere is a little weird.
The two were silent for a long time before Chen Fei broke the silence with a sneer. "Ahem! Uncle Eldest Sun, I don't know if I suddenly came to the cold house today, but something happened? ”
"Something?" The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Chen Fei with a smile and said, "Zicheng, why did the old man come here, don't you have any points in your heart?" Do you still need the old man to say it so clearly? ”
Chen Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, the eldest grandson Wuji came here to find him, most likely because of absenteeism. His Majesty had just assigned him an official position, but he didn't report for a day, and now the boss has come to him to give him a lecture!
At the same time, he also realized that Shangshu Province was not a strange workshop, and the top leader in it was not Li Zhuo's unobtrusive swinger, if he was lazy that day....... The leader will come to visit you and talk to you with a smile.
Damn it! How can there be a sense of fear that teachers will see their parents when they are young? Chen Fei couldn't help but shudder.
"That's... Uncle Eldest Sun, it's not that the little nephew is deliberately absent from work, it's really that the little nephew is busy with something, and he didn't have time to ask you for leave, so..."
The eldest grandson Wuji had no other expression, he still looked at Chen Fei with a smile, the more he stared at him, the more he felt weak, and in the end he could only keep laughing dryly, unable to speak.
"You're talking about something busy, but for the wool outside?" The eldest grandson Wuji pointed to the outside of the house, and looked outside, the yard was full of wool, and there was a faint smell of alcohol wafting.
"It's... Sort of. ”
"Strange, what do you want wool for? This thing is worthless, and it doesn't work, and you have been busy at home for three days because of this thing? ”
Chen Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't tell the role of wool at once, so he could only honestly explain the matter of making clothes with wool, hoping that the eldest grandson Wuji would be more open-minded and not too dead-eyed.
"Making clothes? That's it? The eldest grandson Wuji didn't hold on to Chen Fei's absence, but walked to the courtyard outside the hall, squatted down in front of a pile of wool, grabbed a handful of wool and sniffed it.
"It's strange how your wool doesn't smell like that, but a little bit... The taste of wine and vinegar? ”
Of course, he used a mixture of alcohol, vinegar and salt to remove the smell of wool, otherwise a dress full of smell would probably not be liked by anyone.
"Uh... The little nephew used a special technique to take out the smell, as long as the wool was exposed to the sun for a few days, the smell of wine and vinegar on it would also dissipate. ”
"Oh? If this thing can get rid of the smell, it is acceptable to wear it on the body, but... How do you make clothes out of this? The result? ”
"Uncle Chang Sun rest assured, the little nephew has a special way to make woolen clothes, and the woolen clothes are very warm when worn on the body, and they are not familiar with cotton clothes. And the cost of wool is low, and ordinary people can afford it. The most important thing is that the woolen sweater is more flexible to weave, can better fit the figure, can be used to equip the army on a large scale, and make the soldiers' hands and feet less clumsy. ”
Hearing the last point, Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up obviously, and he was very interested in the woolen sweater.
"Zicheng, are you serious? Clothes made of wool can equip the army? ”
"Uh... It can be said, no matter how much the little nephew says now, it is useless, and the eldest grandson and uncle will come to see it after the real thing is made. ”
"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji touched his beard, grabbed a handful of wool and rubbed it in his hand, "If it is really as you said, it will be another fortunate thing for the Tang Dynasty." Wool... Can wool be turned into treasure? Not bad, not bad. ”
Chen Fei scratched his head and smiled very shyly, "Hehe, Uncle Eldest Sun praised it, and the kid deserves it." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji put down his wool, stood up and looked at Chen Fei, and didn't speak, just stared at him like this, and saw that Chen Fei was weak-hearted, so he slowly spoke: "Zicheng, you are a talented person." The old man has to admire you for this. You are also a smart person, unbelievably smarter, and the old man admires you very much. But... Have you ever wondered what kind of person you really want to be? ”
What kind of people? Chen Fei blinked in confusion, not quite understanding what Eldest Sun Wuji meant.
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, did not say it thoroughly, but patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Think about it, if you think about it, you will come to see me." The old man still has something to do, so he will go first. ”
After sending the eldest grandson Wuji out, Chen Fei stood in a daze in the courtyard for a long time, thinking about what the eldest grandson Wuji had just said.
"What are you thinking?"
When I looked up, Lin Chuan and Yan Yun'er came hand in hand.
Chen Fei shook his head and repeated the words of the eldest grandson Wuji. After listening, Lin Chuan said with a smile: "Xianggong, Uncle Eldest Sun is actually saying that you don't prioritize things, but it's just a very tactful thing." ”
No priority? Chen Fei looked at the wool in the yard, and remembered the regret in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji before leaving, and suddenly understood the good intentions of the eldest grandson Wuji.......
