Zhou Zhi's words made Sun Lian's father and son dumbfounded, and they couldn't react for a while. Li Maoyuan reacted very quickly, from Zhou Zhi to look at the loom in the machine workshop, and repeatedly talked to Sun Lian about weaving and the loom, Li Maoyuan guessed a little thoughtful in a trance.

However, Li Maoyuan was very puzzled at first, Zhou Zhi was born in a poor family, where would he have so much silver? But Li Maoyuan soon understood that Zhou Zhi made a bet with Boye Liu Long, and he should have won Liu Long's eight thousand taels of silver, needless to say, the eight thousand taels of silver Liu Long is now sent to Zhou's house.

But after all, Zhou Zhi was born in a poor peasant family, where did he do any business, even if he heard that he had sold vegetables before, his family seemed to open a small workshop for making vermicelli, but after all, it was a small business, a small fight, engaged in this textile industry, all of a sudden is a large investment of thousands of taels of silver, and the risk is quite large.

Rao is Zhou Zhi is talented and intelligent, and he passed the junior three yuan, but that is only in terms of reading and writing, as for this business, Li Maoyuan is very optimistic about Zhou Zhi.

Besides, Zhou Zhi is going to go all the way to the imperial examination, and he is going to do business at this time, isn't that tantamount to abandoning his studies?

Li Maoyuan glanced at Zhou Zhi very puzzled, and immediately understood Zhou Zhi's thoughts. Zhou Zhi is helping the Sun family in disguise, what is going on to do business? Engaged in weaving, that is just a lie. He used this means to help the Sun family and let the Sun family accept his silver.

Imagine, if Zhou Zhi didn't buy a loom and directly took out a few thousand taels of silver to help the Sun family, how could the Sun family agree?

You must know that from Sun Lian's words just now, Li Maoyuan has already seen that the Sun family is a good family that is loyal and honest and never harms others.

Thinking like this, Li Maoyuan couldn't help but give Zhou Zhi a thumbs up. Brother Zhou Zhixian is really good, he sticks a knife in his ribs for his friend, he is so angry, such a person is definitely okay.

At this time, Sun Lian and Sun Gong also understood Zhou Zhi's thoughts, they and Li Maoyuan had almost the same thoughts, and they couldn't help but be moved.

But they actually only guessed half of it. Indeed, Zhou Zhi is helping the Sun family by doing so. But it's not all about helping the Sun family.

As early as a year ago, Zhou Zhi wanted to seek a big way to make money for the Zhou family, but he couldn't find a suitable way. At the moment, it was because of the loneliness of the Sun family that he found it all at once.

In later generations, the textile industry in Gaoyang County can be described as a unique one, and it is famous in the whole north, even the whole country, and even in the world. Qingdu County is not far from Gaoyang County, but it has never found a characteristic industry.

In terms of geographical environment and location and transportation, in fact, Qingdu County is no worse than Gaoyang County. Since the textile industry can have a sustainable development in Gaoyang County, it will naturally develop in Qingdu County in Zhou Zhi's imagination.

Now is the beginning of the development of textiles, maybe because of their own introduction of looms to Gyeongdo County, in the future generations of Gyeongdo County will also appear as Gaoyang County textile city.

Of course, Zhou Zhi knows that there will be many twists and turns and unexpected difficulties on this road. But as long as the faith is strengthened, people will be able to overcome difficulties.

The so-called how bold people are, how productive the land is, hehe! At this time, it depends on your own guts.

Zhou Zhi was smiling at this time, as if he was full of confidence.

But Sun Lian said, "I have received the nephew's wishes, but the nephew should not interfere in this matter, this loom, the nephew naturally can't buy it." ”

Sun Gong also said, "Brother Zhou Zhixian can have this idea, which makes Brother Wei moved, but Brother Zhou Zhixian must not buy this loom in order to help my Sun family."

This loom may still be of some use in my Gaoyang County, but when it comes to Brother Xian's house, in the eyes of Brother Wei, it is a bunch of useless things, how can my Sun family harm Brother Zhou Zhixian? ”

Their father and son both said the same thing, over and over again, anyway, trying their best to prevent Zhou Zhi from buying the loom.

Zhou Zhizheng said, "Selling this loom to others is also selling, and selling it to me Zhou Zhi is also selling, why can't it be sold to me Zhou Zhi?"

Uncle, Brother Sun Gong, this loom is going to be decided by me today.

Don't think that I Zhou Zhi is just to help the Sun family, in fact, I Zhou Zhi has long wanted to buy looms and develop textiles at home!

Hehe! In my Zhou Zhi's opinion, it was not my Zhou Zhi who helped your Sun family, but your Sun family who fulfilled my Zhou Zhi! ”

Zhou Zhi felt that he had to speak his heart at this time.

But the more Zhou Zhi said this, the more Sun Lian and Sun Gong felt that Zhou Zhi was helping the Sun family in disguise, just saving enough face for the Sun family. The more they disagreed with Zhou Zhi's purchase of the loom.

The two sides insisted until late at night, and Sun Lian's father and son saw that Zhou Zhi's attitude was extremely resolute, so they agreed to the letter suspiciously. Of course, they would never ask for a hundred taels of silver per loom, as Zhou Zhi said, but a price of eighty taels. Zhou Zhi was really helpless, and finally had to compromise, and sixty looms totaled 4,800 taels of silver.

The matter was finally agreed, and Zhou Zhi and Sun Lian Sun Gong's father and son finally wrote a contract, and tomorrow the Sun family could go to Baiyue Village with Zhou Zhi to get the silver. As for the loom, it will not be arranged for someone to transport it until the Zhou family builds a machine workshop in the future. During this period, the Sun family was still responsible for taking care of the loom.

Sun Lian and Sun Gong's father and son thanked Zhou Zhi for their kindness, as if they regarded Zhou Zhi as their life-saving benefactor. Sun Lian was in tears, saying that the Sun family and the Zhou family would be lifelong friends in the future, and the Zhou family would be driven by it in the future, and their Sun family would definitely go all out at any cost.

Sun Lian also said that Zhou Zhi's kindness to the Sun family would be written into the ancestral teachings, so that the descendants of the Sun family would remember it firmly.

Zhou Zhi felt very embarrassed for a while, alas! As for it, isn't it just a few thousand taels of silver, and I really want to make good use of the loom, which actually doesn't exist to help the Sun family.

But the father and son of the Sun family thought like this, which made Zhou Zhi have no choice but to give up.

Zhou Zhi, Li Maoyuan, and Qi Yanwu rested at Sun's house for a night, and on the second day, Sun Lian called a few people who still had some conscience, took Sun's old housekeeper, drove two carriages, and followed Zhou Zhi to Zhou's house to get silver.

Without saying anything all the way, they arrived at Zhou's house, and Zhou Zhi immediately asked Qi Yanwu, brother-in-law Hu Zhe and his father Zhou Tie to carry out 4,800 taels of silver, let the people of the Sun family carry them into the carriage, and finally sent Sun Lian and others away.

Zhou Zhi got out 4,800 taels of silver at once, which made his father Zhou Tie and his mother Zhou He wonder, and they were faintly unhappy in their hearts. However, they know very well that all this silver is obtained by Zhou Zhi, and Zhou Zhi can use it as he wants. Moreover, they also know very well that Zhou Zhi is not a person who spends money indiscriminately, and if he wants to get this money out, it will definitely be of great use.

In a word, the pillar of the Zhou family is Zhou Zhi, and they believe in Zhou Zhi very much. So although I was not very happy in my heart, I didn't ask much.

When Sun Lian and the others left, their faces immediately became gloomy and sad, and they said, "Xiaozhi, it's only been a few days, but there are rumors slandering my son near Gaochang Town, what did my son do?" ”
