The household department was only willing to pay three thousand taels of silver, and there was no room for further discussion on this matter, not only did Xia Yanqing lose interest. Qu Jiang also knew that there was no need to stay, even if he was very greedy for the document in Xia Yanqing's hand.

In his opinion, instead of wasting time here, it is better to let Tang Da go back to discuss with Liu Wu as soon as possible, and raise the price to talk again.

How did the group come an hour ago, and now these people turned around and left as they were, so to speak, they found nothing.

Tang Da didn't care whether the negotiation was successful or not, after all, Lord Shangshu set the lowest price to buy bearings. It's far from Qingyunzhai's asking price, and he can't do it either.

It's just that after years of immersion in officialdom, he can still grasp the key to the matter.

The attitude of the two craftsmen of Qu Jiang and the Ministry of Industry is the key to this matter. He noticed that these people were not interested in the business they were negotiating, but they were extremely eager for the document in Xia's hand. Even when Xia took back the paperwork, he was almost anxious with him.

Yes, the document that Xia took back from Qu Jiang's hand was very strange.

He didn't talk about it, and the responsibility is not him. But if he can't even figure out what happened during the negotiations, then he didn't care to do anything.

He wanted to know what was in that paperwork, so he could call back to Master Shangshu. But these words are not good to ask in front of Xia.

The group left the kiln and turned a street, and Tang Dacai asked the coachman to speed up and catch up with Qujiang's carriage.

Qu Jiang's carriage stopped, and he lifted the cotton curtain of the window, and saw that Tang Da was standing by his window in an orderly manner.

Tang Da had already lowered his posture, and Qu Jiang was not overly hypocritical, so he eased his face and asked, "Is there something wrong with Master Tang?" ”

Tang Da hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "This time the negotiation with Qingyunzhai was fruitless, and the lower official was very ashamed. ”

"Oh, since it's a negotiation, it's not necessarily successful." Qu Jiang was noncommittal.

Tang Da saw that Qu Jiang didn't follow his meaning to talk in depth, so he had to ask again: "Shicai is in Qingyun Zhai, Lord Qu seems to be very sorry for the document that Miss Xia took away, I don't know what is written in the document?" ”

"What's that?" Qu Jiang was a little stunned, "Miss Xia suggested that in the future, all bearings produced in the Liang Dynasty, whether they are made by the customs or made by the people, will use unified standards to increase the versatility of the bearings." There is a simple representation of the bearing given by Miss Xia in the document. ”

"Oh." Tang Da agreed, but he was very surprised in his heart. Isn't that quite simple and understandable? Qu Jiang himself has said it very clearly, but where did he get this amazement?

"Since the adults have already read the paperwork and know Miss Xia's proposal, it doesn't matter if the paperwork is not in hand, right? Or is this Xia girl very strict, the court does not pay the silver, and even this proposal is not allowed to be used by the court? Tenda continued, but his heart was full of disdain.

If it was true as he guessed, the Xia clan would be too arrogant and domineering. If she is like this with ordinary businessmen and ordinary people, she is the daughter of an official of the imperial court after all, and she is in charge of the lucrative glass business, and ordinary people can't afford to mess with her.

But when she faced the court, she was like this, so she really didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Don't say it's her, even her father Xia Ke, who only has one head, where can he withstand the court to cut it?

Qu Jiang saw that Tang Da looked like he was wandering out of the world, and his face was full of disdain, for fear that he would mess things up, so he also explained to him: "Miss Xia is talented, just her proposal is very convenient for the imperial court to use bearings in the future." But the value of this instrument goes far beyond that. ”

"Huh? What else? Townda was surprised.

Qu Jiang looked at the street, it was the end of the year, and the street was full of people. Their carriages stopped on the road, and Tang Da, dressed in a five-grade official uniform, stood by the carriage and was really eye-catching.

"Master Tang doesn't have to be so polite. The streets were full of people, and the weather was very cold, so it was not a place to talk. The two craftsmen who came with them, they also know that there is another value in the paperwork, so you can go back to them and ask them. ”

Tang Da didn't wait to go back and ask again, he got back in the carriage, called the two craftsmen directly, and on the way back to the household department, he asked back and forth the key contents of the pieces of paper back and forth several times.

Afraid that he couldn't say it clearly, he didn't let the craftsmen go back to the Ministry of Works, but took them to see Liu Wu.

"Didn't talk about it?!" Liu Wu was a little angry when he heard it. Could it be that the Xia girl really plans to ask for 10,000 taels of silver? The lion opened his mouth, right? If the imperial court delays this matter for a year or two, two years later, her bearings are likely to be copied by other craftsmen. At that time, she couldn't even get half a penny!

Tenda didn't dare to squeak.

Liu Mu suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "What about the prisoner?" Who went? Did they get the paperwork that came with Qingyunzhai? ”

Tang Da waited for him to speak: "When we were talking, Master Qu asked for the document, but the matter was not negotiated, and the Xia woman took the document back. ”

Liu Wu asked, "So, Master Qu has already read through the paperwork?" "Although Qu Jiang is in charge of the general as a prisoner, he is also a scholar, just a few pages, as long as you read through it, the main content can still be memorized.

But Tang Da's answer was hesitant: "Yes, Master Qu has seen it, but ......"

Liu Shishi couldn't help it, slapped the table, and scolded: "What the hell is going on? What does it look like! "Tang Da didn't get this done, he was already unhappy, and he didn't know how to explain to the emperor.

But Tang Da is also a five-grade official of the imperial court, not only can he not even hold back a young woman, but it is really annoying that things are so unfavorable!

Tang Da didn't think so, three thousand taels of silver was not enough for the Xia family, and no one could do this thing, so what's the use of getting angry with him here?

But there is still a need to be respectful: "That document mainly recommended that the imperial court use a unified standard for the production of bearings, so as to increase the versatility of bearings of various sizes." ”

Seeing that Liu Wu had an impatient look on his face, he hurriedly added: "But there are some other things involved in that document, which are very important according to Master Qu." The lowly duty was not good at this, and he was afraid that he would not understand, so he brought two craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, and they were now waiting outside the door. Why don't you let them talk to the adults? ”

Repatriated the two craftsmen, Liu Wu was silent for a while before waving his hand to let Tang Da leave.

He didn't understand the words of the two craftsmen very well, but he could see a strong expectation and yearning from the expressions of the two.

Liu Wu was quite skeptical, only rushing the document that made them yearn for, if they signed a perennial contract in the Ministry of Industry, as long as Qingyun Zhai and the two people hooked their fingers, the two would immediately throw away the errand of the Ministry of Industry and run to Qingyun Zhai to do things.

It was the performance of these two people that reminded Liu Wu of the sentence that the emperor said in the early dynasty, "Fish with all your might".

Maybe the emperor didn't intend to favor anyone, and buying bearing technology may also be a helpless move, in order to have the marginal ideas that Xia will have from time to time.
