Chapter 206: Ask the factory owner for help
When Nalan Jin lowered her head and was sad, she heard someone calling her outside, and she was so excited that she didn't have time to take care of her image, so she jumped directly from the table.
Even Dongfang Yi on the side was taken aback, he had never seen Nalan Jin so agile.
"This is the six-hundred-mile expedited you want, and the code in the middle of the way has a little problem, so it has been changed to an eight-hundred-mile expedited." The people at the post station were sweating profusely and handed the package on their backs to Nalan Jin.
"It's hard work, sit down and have a cup of tea and rest." Nalan Jin excitedly held the life-like package.
"I still have to rush back to my life, so I won't stay long."
The people at the post station said goodbye to Nalan Jin and rushed back to the post station to record the experience along the way in detail.
Dongfang Yi raised his eyebrows and walked to Nalan Jin's side, looking her up and down in disbelief, it was hard to imagine how she had just turned over from the table.
"Are you alright, is there anything uncomfortable bumping into it?" Dongfang Yi always suspected that Nalan Jin must have injured somewhere in his body when he jumped just now.
"Why are you so strange all of a sudden, I'm fine." Nalan Jin opened the package and looked through it.
"But, you ...... just now," Dongfang Yi pointed to the table.
At this moment, Nalan Jin only had the seeds in her hands in her eyes, and other people and things were not taken into account at all. So she didn't see Dongfang Yi's surprised expression and questioning movements at all.
"Don't do this, come over here and help me figure out how to convince them to plant the seeds we distributed to them." Nalan Jin frowned and began to feel distressed again.
I believe that after years of famine, the people here have also thought of countless ways and tried countless possibilities, but in the end they all came back in vain. That's what led to their current inaction.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived on the camels they depend on.
Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi are newcomers, as outsiders, they are soft-spoken, and after so many years of attempts, the people here have long lost confidence and patience.
"We are insignificant, what strength can Su convince the people here, unless we ask the magistrate here to come forward, otherwise, no matter how much we do, it will be in vain." Dongfang Yi said the key.
This is not the Central Plains, as long as Nalan Jin takes out her marquis token, she can be unimpeded in various local government offices.
This is Fengcheng, the officials of the free side here, the sword of the previous dynasty is useless to the officials of the current dynasty.
Nalan Jin didn't believe in this evil, he didn't believe that he had a way to help everyone solve the problem of famine, and the officials here could turn a blind eye.
It turned out that Nalan Jin ran for several days and ate the closed door. Not to mention the place to see Maple City, even the threshold has never been set foot on.
Before he could go in, he was blasted out directly.
Nalan Jin even thought about whether he could go in directly over the wall, see the magistrate in front of him, and have a good talk with him, maybe he could be convinced.
"You can stop your terrible thoughts. This is Maple City. Even if it is his own one-third of an acre of land, he broke into the government office without permission, do you know what the crime is? Dongfang Yi reminded Nalan Jin and told him the seriousness of the matter.
Nalan Jin frowned, after working hard for so long, three knocks and nine bows have passed, and it is almost the last trembling, dead or alive is to stop in place.
"What can I do? They can't let this kind of child be transported in a hurry for 800 miles, and nothing can be done, and there is a solution to their famine in front of them, why can't they accept it? Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Yi suspiciously, really didn't understand the thoughts of these people.
"It's not that they don't accept it, it's just that the problem hasn't been solved for so long, and they've become insensitive. The way to not see the effect is an attempt in their eyes, and since it is an attempt, they are not willing to make unnecessary sacrifices. ”
Dongfang Yi hit the nail on the head and made the psychological analysis of the people here thorough. Maybe that's what people here have been criticizing for years.
Nalan Jin is no longer in a hurry, in order to be able to let the people here solve the problem of famine, he no longer blindly follows his own mind to do things.
Instead, he calmed down and slowly analyzed the reasons for their rejection, which was enough for Nalan Jin to find the owner of the textile factory, hoping that he would personally come forward to negotiate with local officials.
Let the people of Fengcheng be willing to accept Nalan Jin's advice and plant the seeds she brought thousands of miles away.
"What are you doing here? My words have been made clear, equivalent exchange, and other than that, I will not teach you the art of weaving. The factory owner didn't even look at Nalan Jin, who didn't even look at him.
"We came here this time to bring the terms of the equivalent exchange to talk to you." Nalan Jin looked squarely at the factory owner.
"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”
When the factory owner heard this, he sat down with great interest, instructed the textile lady to make tea, and talked slowly with Nalan Jin while drinking tea.
Dongfang Yi took advantage of this free time when no one greeted him, so he pretended to visit the textile factory alone and saw the weaving skills of those weavers.
I have to say that the textile technology here is not passed on, and naturally they have a reason for secrecy. Seeing the operation methods of those weavers, you know that the cloth they weave is definitely a first-class product.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to come in here? When the textile lady saw Dongfang Yi on the side, she asked vigilantly.
"I ...... I'm here to talk to you factory owners about learning about textiles. Dongfang Yi stammered for a long time and casually made an excuse.
"Studying weaving, why haven't I heard the factory owner talk about it? Who the hell are you? If you don't explain honestly, I'll take you to report to the official. Textile Niang's eyes flickered a little when she looked at Dongfang Yi, thinking that he might not be a good person, so she threatened him.
"I'm really here to learn weaving, and my wife will talk to your factory owner in the big tent, if you don't believe me, you can go and see it." Dongfang Yi raised his confident chin.
textile
The mother was a little puzzled, anyone who came here to learn weaving, the factory owner would personally order them to teach, and it was impossible to let a stranger in without a sound.
"Since it's still talking, it means that it's a question of whether or not you can negotiate or not, and you have to break into here so rashly, which has to make us suspect that you have bad intentions. If you don't leave......" The textile lady waved her hand, and there were a few more burly men behind her.
"Yes, I won't have to do it for you, I'll leave by myself."
Dongfang Yi originally wanted to come in and visit, and there was no need to form a bond with the textile factory because of a few simple quarrels.
Besides, Nalan Jin is still negotiating with the factory owner in front, so it's better not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Watching Dongfang Yi leave, the textile lady sent someone to tell the factory owner about his trespass.
"I now have the same exchange conditions with you, that is, I hope you can help, persuade the officials here, and use the seeds I brought to distribute them to cultivate, and I guarantee with my personality that the famine problem here will definitely be solved."
Nalan Jin told the factory owner the cause and effect of the incident and the cause of the famine here.
The factory owner is just a textile craftsman, and he doesn't know about land cultivation at all, but he just listens to what Nalan Jin says.
"It's okay for me to help, but is it really feasible for you not to do it? The famine in Fengcheng for many years is not an overnight thing, and it will be very embarrassing if you don't do it well. The factory owner was not afraid to hit Nalan Jin, and directly said the ugly words to the front.
"I'm confident." Nalan Jin replied in the affirmative.
When Dongfang Yi returned, it happened that the factory owner had just heard a report from his subordinates, and he was suspicious of the purpose of their coming here today.
"I want to tell the factory owner something, when I was bored and wandering around just now, I accidentally saw you weaving, I don't know if this is considered stealing a craft?" Dongfang Yi humbly bowed his head.
"It doesn't matter, if my weaving technique could be learned at a glance, I would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago. There is no need to mention any equivalent exchange, just let you take a look. The factory owner raised his head confidently, and the doubts just now were gone.
"Since the factory owner is so confident, then I am relieved. Otherwise, even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won't be able to wash it. Dongfang Yi laughed teasingly, "How is it, how is the matter of farming?" ”
Dongfang Yi saw that Nalan Jin was looking at him a little blindfolded, and knew that she was curious about where he was just now. He just winked at her and told her to explain it to her later.
"The factory owner helped us persuade the local officials to let the people here use our seeds to farm." Nalan Jin looked at the factory owner happily.
After discussing, Nalan Jin returned to the inn with Dongfang Yi to wait for news. However, time passed day by day, but there was no reply from the factory owner.
Nalan Jin turned around anxiously, and had come to inquire more than once, but they were all blocked by the textile factory, and there were no officials on the street who posted the post.
"Did it fail?" accept
Lan Jin asked dejectedly.
"I guess it's a bit hanging that there has been no news for so long, let's not get our hopes up too much, and it's also a good way out to pack up our things and go back to manage our medicinal herbs as soon as possible." Dongfang Yi put his arm on Nalan Jin's shoulder and comforted.
Nalan Jin didn't give up, he was always unwilling to believe the results of his hard work for so long, and in the end he only got a sentence of "no hope".
"I don't believe it, it must be that the factory owner has been busy forgetting something recently, maybe he will reply when he remembers it in a few days." Nalan Jin was a little self-deceiving and tried her best to numb herself.
"Jin'er......" Dongfang Yi shouted.
Early the next morning, when Nalan Jin was meeting Zhou in his sleep, he heard an urgent knock on the door. The sound reminded her of the scene when the horse thief suddenly broke into the inn in Meaux.
"Orient, horse thief!" Nalan Jin sat up with a scream, her eyes fixed on the door.
"No, you're worried, it may be that the shopkeeper is in a hurry, don't be afraid, I'm here." Dongfang Yi comforted.
