Chapter 159: Coming to the door
Lao Li Tou said solemnly: "What are we doing here?" Is it only for the girl to be offered for nothing? Now that food, clothing, housing and transportation are all foiled by the girl, the little old man is already very uneasy in his heart, and the girl is willing to give work, which is really good. (Chinese.){360118.}"
Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "Uncle Li said this, I am also relieved, now that you have settled down, you don't have to do anything else, just make a loom for me, there are still three months before the beginning of spring next year, I want two more Hualou jacquard machines, ten looms for weaving ordinary broken brocade, which is the loom that is now in use in my backyard, I don't know if it can be completed?" ”
Lao Li Tou said with a smile: "The girl is too underestimated on us, three months, so let's give you three Hualou jacquard machines and fifteen ordinary brocade looms, how about it?" Don't look at the dozens of us, there are old, weak, women and children, all of them are working. It's just that the jacquard machine of the flower building is too complicated, and the little old man really doesn't dare to pack the ticket and say that he can make too much, so he has to forgive the girl. ”
Ruan Yunsi said happily: "This is already very good, I don't dare to say that I can eat the next fat man in one bite, the looms are gradually increasing, and the business is slowly growing, this is the principle of gradual progress." In this case, let's ask Li Bo to let people go and buy materials, here are two thousand taels of silver, it should be enough, right? ”
"It's enough, two thousand taels of silver is enough to make hundreds of ordinary looms, and Hualou jacquard machines can make twenty." Lao Li Tou hurriedly excused himself and said that he didn't need so much money, but Ruan Yunsi put the silver ticket on the table, angry and funny in his heart, thinking that Master Luo was too much of a thing, it turned out that the materials for making the jacquard machine were so cheap, and he was embarrassed to ask me for five thousand silver. Well, not to mention, it's not just the material, it's also the technology. As for that large jacquard machine, if it weren't for Su Mingxi, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to buy it for 10,000 silver. That's the ultimate weapon of Jiangning weaving.
While thinking about it, I told the Li family that it was okay. She got up to say goodbye, and then said to Li Huaifeng: "When Huaifeng helps to manufacture the jacquard machine, don't give up the research on your printing machine, if you have any ideas, you can come to me and say, out of these two thousand taels of silver, I will give you two hundred taels of silver to buy materials for testing." It doesn't matter if you fail once or twice, what matters is that you can improve something every time to finally build a printing machine in your mind. ”
Several people in the room didn't expect Ruan Yunsi to say such a thing, and they couldn't help but be stunned. It took a long time for Li Huaifeng to come back to his senses. I couldn't help jumping three feet high with joy and shouted, "Girl, are you serious? You...... You will give me two hundred taels of silver for me to test? Hahaha, that's great......"
He danced like a crazy demon, and suddenly heard his father cough heavily, and scolded: "Bastard thing, Miss Ruan trusts you so much and lets you be deceived, your father and I can't allow you to be wild, since Miss Ruan is interested in your whimsy, you must work hard for me." If I see that you have wasted these two hundred taels of silver, the family law will serve you. ”
Li Huaifeng, who said a word, really quieted down, but he still couldn't hide a smile on his face, and smiled at Ruan Yunsi: "Don't worry, girl, with these two hundred taels of silver, I promise to research the best printing machine in the world for you." Save my father from using me as a counterexample every day to educate my brothers and nephews, I am almost faceless in the Li family. ”
Ruan Yunsi smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then you work hard, no matter what Li Bo and they think of you, I believe in you." After speaking, he walked out of the door, and Lao Li Tou led his family to the street gate.
As soon as he got out of the street, he saw Zhong Xiu running over in a hurry, and Ruan Yunsi said strangely: "What's wrong?" Show girl, why are you running in such a hurry? ”
Zhong Xiu stepped forward, grabbed Ruan Yunsi's arm and said, "Sister, Su Wugongzi and Shopkeeper Yan have come over in person, and they are waiting at home at this time, you go back quickly, I don't know what is going on with them." ”
"Huh? Su Wu Gongzi and the shopkeeper Yan came over in person? ”
Ruan Yunsi was puzzled, although her cooperation with the Su family was very close, but she rarely had contact with each other, she was a woman, this is indeed a fatal injury, not a last resort, she generally refused to show her face, when she was in Suzhou, Su Mingxi invited her to play around, and she just went to Hanshan Temple and West Lake for a walk.
After coming back from Jiangnan, she didn't go to Su's house, but these days, because of the large demand for brocade, every time she weaves a hundred brocades, she will ask Zhong Nan to go to Green Water City to deliver goods, but she doesn't know what happened, and she will let Su Liuyun and the shopkeeper Yan come together.
When I returned home, I saw Su Liuyun and the shopkeeper Yan sitting opposite each other drinking tea, Yun Niang and Zhong Nan accompanied the two, and seeing Ruan Yunsi coming back, the two hurriedly got up and smiled: "The girl is really a nobleman, and it has been more than three months since she came back from Jiangnan, right?" I didn't even see each other. ”
Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "Although I haven't met, I don't have a shortage of brocades for the shopkeeper, the fifth prince and the shopkeeper are coming over now, it shouldn't be Xingshi asking for guilt, right?" ”
Su Liuyun and Shopkeeper Yan laughed together, and said again and again: "How dare you." After speaking, Ruan Yunsi also sat down and said straight to the point: "We are all very familiar with each other, if there is anything, there is no need to beat around the bush, if the fifth prince and the shopkeeper have any intentions, just get straight to the point." ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I know that the girl is fast, even so, the little old man doesn't talk much nonsense, there are really a few things this time, one is our five sons, because of the help of the girl, this year Liujin Cloth Village has made great progress, and it already has the strength to be among the first-class cloth villages, so the old man Su has handed over all the business and funds in the family to the five sons to take care of. ”
Ruan Yunsi knew that the Su family's main business was the cloth village, but in addition, there were some other businesses and land, but they were not under the control of Su Liuyun. ”
As she spoke, she was secretly amused in her heart, the old man was finally not old and confused, and knew that he was no match for this son, so he simply let go of power, well, this is indeed a thing worth congratulating.
Su Liuyun hurriedly said a few words modestly, and the shopkeeper also said with a smile on the side: "Now our third prince is also a high school scholar, and by the grace of God, he entered the Hanlin Academy to do an editor, although this position is low, but it is very promising, as long as the third prince acts cautiously and carefully manages in the future, our Su family will gradually have a reputation in the court, and at that time, we can really compete with Guiyun." ”
This time Ruan Yunsi was really surprised, she knew very well in her heart that those who could enter the Hanlin Academy after the scientific examination were the top-ranked Jinshi, although most of them died of old age in the Hanlin Pavilion in the end, but once they were able to stand out, it was really a carp jumping over the dragon gate, even if it was possible to be a first- or second-grade master, not to mention that Su Liutian had the financial support of the Su family, as long as he was not too stupid, his future would be unlimited.
This kind of thing is not something that can be said to anyone, and the reason why the shopkeeper will tell Ruan Yunsi is naturally because of the cooperation between the Su family and her, and they also treat her as their own person, so they will have no reservations. At that moment, after Ruan Yunsi congratulated her, she said with a straight face: "There is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Su Liuyun hurriedly said: "Although the girl is a woman, her knowledge and courage are far from being comparable to ordinary men. ”
Ruan Yunsi hesitated slightly, and then said calmly: "Reasoning, the matter of Su Sangongzi, I shouldn't talk too much, and then for some reasons, I also know that it is not easy to survive in the court today, and the people who are close to Guiyun Silk are a group of officials headed by the Guogong Mansion, if you want to compete with Guiyunyi, you will inevitably have to choose another faction, just ......"
She didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she saw Su Liuyun's face showing surprise, and then he interrupted Ruan Yunsi in a deep voice: "The two factions of the DPRK, China, Su and Zhen are on the same footing, this is a well-known thing, and I am afraid that it is the emperor who wants to promote the situation." Reasoning, if Liujin wants to compete with Guiyun, he can only throw himself into Zhen Shangshu's faction in order to gain quickly. I also understand this, but the girl may not know something, Zhen Shangshu's faction, although it can't be said that they are all treacherous villains, but they are also all anointed, and the third brother is very cold every time he mentions it. We think like this, the grandfather and the little grandfather and those officials in high positions, I am afraid that they may not put the two small businesses in their eyes, no matter who can be better in Guiyun and Liujin, there is no harm to them, so although the current business network lags behind Guiyun, but we rely on strength to speak, and we will not think about it because of a very critical disadvantage, in the final analysis, we are businessmen, and operating contacts in the DPRK and China is just for some convenience, after all, we don't have to participate in those major events in the world, so, I decided to respect the third brother's own opinion. ”
He said this very clearly, Guiyun is close to Su Mingxi's faction, Liujin Buzhuang wants to compete with Guiyun, and it is the fastest and most convenient way to reason with Zhen Yan's faction, but the Su family does not want to do this, the reason is also because they disdain the Zhen faction.
Ruan Yunsi finally put her mind at ease, and she really admired the style of the Su family in her heart, thinking that although the old man Su was not a piece of material in business, he was undoubtedly very successful in educating his children. Because of the smile: "Childe said this, I am relieved, to be honest, I really admire Childe, I heard that the Zhen Yan faction in the court is slightly inferior to the Guogong faction, but with the local government and some rich businessmen and tycoons, open the door of convenience, many businessmen are flocking to it, take refuge in it to seek heavy profits and convenience for themselves, in this case, Childe can not be blinded by interests, which is really admired by Yunsi." ”RQ
