Accepting Yang Shuangzhi's generous gift, Yu Jin did have the possibility of worrying about the lack of food and grass.

If you are alone, then it is good to say, if you are alone, the whole family is not hungry, and you will buy a pancake and another meal, but not now, more than a dozen mouths are waiting to feed yourself.

You can't underestimate it, and you can't even support a subordinate.

Looking at Qing'er's smug face, it seemed that she was waiting for herself to beg her, she couldn't afford to lose this face, and besides, she wanted to meet this Yang Shuangzhi for a while, and deliberately got closer to him.

Don't collect white, don't collect.

In fact, Yu Jin's worries were superfluous, and in less than three days, the day after Yang Youzhi left, that is, the day after Qing'er was in a hurry, Cui Sanniang, the representative of Taisheng Commercial Bank, who had established a friendly relationship with Yu Jin, came in the dust.

As soon as Cui Sanniang arrived in the capital, the first thing she did was to visit, mainly to tell Yu Jin two things: one was that she was transferred from Yuyao to the capital and was responsible for the operation of all shops in the capital, and the other was that Taisheng Commercial Bank appointed her as a representative to be fully responsible for the dealings with Yu Jin.

As for the late arrival, the main reason is that some things have to be handed over, and the road has been delayed for a few days because of physical discomfort.

This is a great thing, it is better to be raw than cooked, Yu Jin took out a few samples, and then took Cui Sanniang to the construction site in the suburbs of Beijing for a turn, and promised that the mirrors produced were all represented by Taisheng Commercial Bank.

After friendly negotiation, Cui Sanniang got a contract for exclusive agency, and Yu Jin also got an advance payment of 50,000 taels of silver.

With money in his waist, Yu Jin's waist pole has straightened a lot, and the progress of the project has begun to speed up, buying house slaves, recruiting guards, and purchasing all kinds of tools and materials at the same time, and all the work is in full swing.

The action is getting bigger. attracted a lot of attention, and in the end, Zhu Xizhong, who accounted for 20% of the group, also took the time to disguise himself to the construction site to see what was new.

"I don't know if my lord has arrived, my subordinates have missed my welcome, please forgive me." Zhu Xizhong suddenly appeared, which startled Yu Jin. Hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

There is a guy here, there seems to be no interest in the front, and suddenly it pops up again, it feels a little weird, the dignified prince, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Leng is wearing a red silk coat, getting a six-petal hat with melon skin, and he just makes himself look like a local old man, which makes Yu Jin very speechless.

Zhu Xizhong waved his hand and said, "This is not a yamen. The old man came to see it as a partner, and those vulgar etiquette should be dispensed with, so as not to attract attention. ”

Han one, if you don't say this thing, who dares to "exempt".

"Yes." Slander is slander, Yu Jin still said respectfully.

Zhu Xizhong rarely praised: "Talent, the poem is well written, and the song is also beautiful." is clever, I didn't expect there to be such a weird talent. Even such a good thing as Taisheng Mirror can be thought of, not bad, not bad. ”

Yu Jin said modestly: "That's a coincidence, this is not a proper job." ”

"Hey, what are those people doing?" Zhu Xizhong suddenly pointed to a construction site that was being built, and said with some surprise.

Dozens of strong men. Using boats, wooden frames, and other objects, one by one, they are working hard to drive piles into the water, and strangely, these are not common wooden piles. It's a swarthy pillar of iron, which is rare.

You know, the productivity is not high now, and the cost of building these iron pillars is not low.

Yu Jin explained in a low voice on the side: "My lord, this is to set up a big waterwheel. ”

"Big waterwheel? What's the use of this? ”

"My lord, look" Yu Jin took out a drawing, unfolded it in front of Zhu Xizhong, and explained in a low voice: "We set up a waterwheel here, first, we can transport water to the island for the processing workshop, and secondly, we can use water to pull, we can do a lot of things, such as grinding and crushing materials, which greatly increases work efficiency." ”

After a pause, Yu Jin continued to explain: "My subordinates have looked through the information, the Hunhe River floods every year, just like last year, there were as many as ten major floods and small floods, the cost of using iron pillars is high, but the safety is much higher, as long as you don't encounter a once-in-a-century flood, then sit back and relax." ”

Zhu Xizhong nodded and asked a question he was most concerned about: "When will the project be completed?" When will the workshop be in production? ”

No matter how good a project is, you have to see real money and get benefits, that is a good project, and Zhu Xizhong is a little impatient.

Yu Jin thought for a while, and then said: "If there are no major changes, it can be completed in mid-September at the earliest, because it is necessary to train these workers and improve various measures. ”

Bringing workers in, not just put into production immediately, but also passing on these technologies to them, division of labor and cooperation, cultivating their cooperation, etc., even food, clothing, housing and transportation must also formulate a standard, and the loopholes in defense must be filled one by one, which will take time to run in and improve.

Fortunately, Zhu Xizhong also understood: "Yes, this speed is okay, by the way, now that you have invested so much, Yu Jin, do you have enough money in your hand now?" ”

"It's not enough, but I got an advance payment of 50,000 taels in advance, and I don't have to worry about money and silver for the time being."

Zhu Xizhong nodded, and immediately admonished: "Now that you are in an unusual position, you must pay attention to the influence, think twice, don't do irrational things, and pay special attention not to reveal your identity, so as not to waste your previous efforts." ”

"Thank you, Lord for teaching."

Seeing that Zhu Xizhong was in a good mood, Yu Jin took the opportunity and said, "My lord, my subordinates have a small request. ”

Zhu Xizhong glanced at Yu Jin, nodded slowly, and said, "What a request, say it." ”

Yu Jin carefully considered and said: "My lord, now that the two helpers under him have arrived, there is no major incident recently, let Miss Qing'er be a maid here with me, I have wronged her too much, there is nothing to do now, Miss Qing'er can not be so aggrieved." ”

While talking, Yu Jin felt a pain in his legs, couldn't help but scream, turned his head to look at Qing'er who was following him, and saw that she was looking sideways at the construction site of the big waterwheel, as if she didn't know anything.

It is clear that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

Yu Jin said with some grievances: "My lord, look"

This girl is good at tricks such as finger magic, and her concealment and lethality are unabated compared to Wu Xuan's silver needle, this Qing'er actually blackmailed herself in front of Zhu Xizhong's face.

The guts thief is fat.

Zhu Xizhong's old face twitched, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and a capable middle-aged man galloped over, turned over and dismounted about three feet away from Zhu Xizhong, and then ran to Zhu Xizhong in three steps and two steps, and respectfully presented a secret letter.

Yu Jin noticed that the secret letter was also sealed with fire paint, which should be very urgent and extremely secret information.

Zhu Xizhong didn't dare to slack off, so he tore up the secret letter on the spot, just looked at it, his face changed greatly, and he turned his head to Yu Jin and said: "Okay, let's talk about these things later, pay more attention to the things on the construction site, there is no need, and everything will be less involved." ”

"My lord, what happened when you left in such a hurry?" Yu Jin asked curiously.

It will definitely not be a trivial matter to alarm a figure like Zhu Xizhong.

"Something happened to King Yu's Mansion, and the official has to go back and deal with it immediately, that's all."

With that, he grabbed the saddle, pulled hard, kicked his feet, and turned over the horse very quickly, and urged the horse forward with the reins.

Yu Jin and Qing'er glanced at each other, and each other's eyes were a little surprised: good spirits are not bad spirits, they really guessed correctly. (To be continued......)

PS: There is a little delay, so I will make up for it immediately, and there will be more in the evening
