Chapter 521: Fortune Against the Heavens

Yes, Xia can only be described in a marginal way.

According to the two craftsmen, Xia's explanation for what she wrote was that it might be used, maybe somewhere, and she was just using an analogy.

As for the actual use, she had no clue at all.

But the rarest thing is the strange ideas that Xia has that the craftsmen lack. As long as there is a bold idea, the craftsmen have a direction to work towards, those things can be made.

This is what the craftsman ultimately says about Xia.

Liu Wu can be a second-class member of the imperial court, and he is such an important household department, of course, he also has courage and two brushes.

Since I guessed the emperor's thoughts and knew the value of Xia Yanqing, this matter is not for the court to spend money to buy bearing technology, but to envelop the Xia family, so that she can continue to shine in this area and continue to contribute to the court.

After figuring out all the joints, Liu Wu immediately wrote a note to Qu Jiang, but the note was a little longer.

In the note, he solemnly told Qujiang that the household department would send officials to Qingyunzhai tomorrow to discuss the transfer of bearing technology. Ask Qu Jiang if there are arrangements tomorrow, if you can attend, please be sure to help coordinate with Qu people, and try to control the price of buying bearing technology within 10,000 taels of silver.

At the end of the note, he said a lot of please, saying that today was the household department that did not arrange things well, and caused trouble to Lord Qu for no reason.

Qu Jiang is not a person who handles things and things, and when he received Liu Wu's letter, he naturally agreed, and simply replied with a note, agreeing to go to Qingyun Zhai Kiln early tomorrow morning.

With such a consensus, things are much simpler.

The conversation was not good the day before, but the household department sent another official this time, and when I saw Xia Yanqing and the others again, the attitude of the household department officials who were very old was very kind. first talked about the difficulties of many households and the imperial court, and then gave the price of 5,000 taels of silver.

Xia Yanqing still said 20,000 taels.

Then Qu Jiang mediated, three sentences here and two sentences there, and soon fixed the price at 10,000 taels of silver.

Both parties were satisfied, and immediately discussed one by one, wrote the transfer agreement, and then copied and described.

After that, Qu Jiang, who would be the chief eunuch, got the proposal document that he had been thinking about for a day.

Naturally, there was no need to stay longer with the household officials who were full of merits, and they took the technical documents of the bearings, as well as some atlases, as well as the transfer agreement, and returned to the household department to find Liu Wu to make an errand.

Qu Jiang and the two officials and two scribes who would be the prisoners stayed, and asked Xia Yanqing about the meaning of the bearing type and model that Xia Yanqing gave a simple mark.

Qu Jiang and Xia Yanqing asked and answered at the same time, and the two scribes quickly recorded on the side.

In Xia Yanqing's very plain, ambiguous, and natural Xiaobai's answer, she gave a plausible answer to the general ideas and shapes of the eight bearing types she could think of. There are obvious errors in the answers in some places, but they have also been taken seriously by Qu Jiang and asked in detail.

The two scribes, whether good or bad, wrote down all what they discussed.

It's not that Xia Yanqing can't say it more specifically and correctly, but it's that it's too specific and correct, and she can't explain the source of this idea herself.

It is very plain and unprofessional, and it is correct to guide the professionals of this era to study. Those very nonsense and obvious wrong explanations let Qu Jiang and the others be removed as dross, and at the same time, her identity was well protected.

This is the safest way to display the golden finger.

They asked, answered, and wrote, delaying Xia Yanqing's lunch. It wasn't until the end of noon that Qu Jiang led people out of the kiln, hastily chose a restaurant on the side of the street, and a few people had a simple lunch.

When they returned to the prison, they sorted out these materials again, and Qu Jiang happily reported to the emperor with the results.

The emperor was waiting for a reply, and when he hastily swept the information brought by Qu Jiang, selected the more important parts that he could understand, and listened to Qu Jiang's explanation while reading.

Finally, closing the thick stack of files, Emperor Qingyuan sighed: "This woman's luck is really against the sky, and the new ideas that come up from time to time at this time, I'm afraid that even she doesn't know what's going on, right?" Could it be that just such a woman can really greatly improve the efficiency of various industries in the Liang Dynasty? ”

When the emperor said this, he also had half a question.

But Qu Jiang nodded affirmatively: "Not counting the ideas that Xia will have in the future, just looking at what she thinks of now, the craftsmen who have studied for more than a hundred years before can't reach this level." Your Majesty is blessed, and the prosperous era of Qingyuan will definitely be a special book for future generations. ”

Emperor Qingyuan likes to listen to this, "Qu Aiqing has also done a good job in these things, he is concerned about the craftsman industry of the imperial court, and he has no selfish thoughts, so that you can discover Xia's talents in time and bring great benefits to the court and people's livelihood." ”

The two gentlemen and ministers praised each other, and the emperor was in a good mood, and promised: "Qu Aiqing just takes the craftsmen who will be the supervisors to study carefully, and when the glass technology of the pool kiln is successful, I will reward them together." ”

…………

When the people of the Xia family heard that Xia Yanqing had made another amount of silver, and sold a part of the wheel of the carriage to the imperial court, and earned 10,000 taels of silver, they were so numb that they couldn't complain.

How did the ancients of this era understand the importance of technology and productivity, and the craftsmanship of craftsmen is not all about learning and stealing art between craftsmen?

But his aunt and grandmother are different, the things made by the craftsmen are still known by the imperial court, and they can be sold, and they can be sold for a huge amount of 10,000 taels of silver.

When did the silver of the imperial court become so profitable? When did the silver in this world become so easy to earn?

In the middle of the month, every household is preparing for the New Year, and the Xia family is the same, seeing that the life of the family is getting better and better, the things to be done for the New Year are naturally very different.

Especially Mrs. Jiang, the Yang family, and the Gao family, in the past few days, have assigned servants and women in the family to clean up the inside and outside of the house, even with the horns.

After dinner every day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have real leisure time throughout the day. But after dinner that day, the family did not go back to their respective rooms, but sighed at the windfall of 10,000 taels of silver earned by Xia Yanqing.

Xia Zitang was lamenting: "Yan Qing, your steps to make money are too big. Why don't you give other businessmen a room to breathe a sigh of relief? ”

and his elder brother, who has a feeling of eating soft rice, and he regrets learning martial arts a little. But thinking about his qualifications, it is estimated that there is still a way out for him to learn martial arts, and he can't study, let alone the unbridled imagination of Xiaomei.

Alas, the girl is too good, and there is pressure.

Although Mrs. Jiang was also amazed on her front feet, she didn't like to listen to Xia Zitang's words at this time, glared at him, and said angrily: "Our own children have the ability, can't we still do it?" What are you talking about, you being an older brother? ”

"Yes, yes, mother, you're right." Xia Zitang hurriedly changed his words, the eldest husband must bow his head when he should bow his head, "Mother, you didn't hear it, I used another way to praise my little sister." ”

Everyone looked sideways, Xia Han sat beside his father, and said in surprise: "I don't think the fourth uncle is praising my sister-in-law, you seem to be a little jealous, right?" ”

Xia Yanqing was originally pursing his lips and laughing, but when he heard Xia Han's words, he almost burst out laughing.

Everyone had already looked sideways, but when they heard Xia Han's words, they all turned back, wanting to see what Xia Zitang's expression was.

"Go! What do children know? Net nonsense. ”
