Since Xing Shuang was carried back to the yard by Jia's mother angrily, Jia Liang has been very nervous about her body, and she has a child, Jia Liang is afraid that she has something in her heart and affects her mood.

So after several questions, Xing Shuang told today's events half-pushed, Jia Liang smiled when he heard it: "Someone asks for a kiss, this is a good thing, it means that our Cong'er is also a first-class good man outside, what are you worried about?" ”

Xing Shuang shook his head and said: "I just feel that something is wrong, this concubine is raised under the name of her mother-in-law, and she has been treated harshly and can still have such a big reputation, it is not easy to keep this girl." ”

Jia Liang laughed again: "Haven't you agreed yet?" Report the name of Jin's brother-in-law, and I will send someone to inquire about it tomorrow. If it's a good one, it's not that it can't be determined, if it's not simple, let's not make trouble to other people's families, just push it. ”

Xing Shuang nodded: "That's all." ”

Jia Liang asked again: "What happened to the carriage?" ”

Speaking of this, Xing Shuang came to his senses, tilted his head, and said with a dissatisfied expression: "When I came back today, Jia Wang came to report, saying that a few foreign craftsmen were dedicated to teaching their skills. It's just that these craftsmen we found rely on their ancestral craftsmanship, and they don't look down on others, and they are not very happy to listen to others' lectures. ”

Jia Liang sneered when he heard this, and was very rarely dissatisfied: "It's still arrogant to stick to self-style, people's technology has long been ahead of us, and they still think that they are the best in the world." If this is the case, there is no need to call them anymore, go to the tooth shop to buy a few boys with a dead deed and come back, and hand them over to those foreign craftsmen to cultivate, and in the future, it will be better to make foreign carriages for our family. ”

Xing Shuang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said happily: "This method is good, I already feel that it is very uncomfortable without shock absorption." Besides, if this carriage can be made, and the driver's seat is changed slightly, there is no fear that it will not be sold in the future. ”

Jia Liang saw that his wife didn't leave the silver in three words, and couldn't help but mock her: "I really fell into the eyes of money, why didn't I see you love money so much in the past." ”

Xing Shuang glanced at him, and said angrily: "You don't know the blessing in the blessing, so you naturally don't know the importance of this money." After Brother Dazhong became a salt merchant, he renovated his ancestral house and gave his two younger sisters a good family, you don't know how much the Xing family has changed now.

"And since the eldest brother took office, it is good to have money to go up and down, and he can get closer to the next level. If there is no such silver, how can the Xing family turn over and grow. My mother's family has no support, and I have never been able to get up in front of people, but I have been a little better over the years, and it will only be better in the future. ”

Jia Liang heard what she said so seriously, and also joked: "This is right, fortunately, you are not confused." If you want me to say, use the money as it should be, as long as it is used on the blade, it is all good. I had an idea before, but I never told you, and now that you can see it, I want to discuss something with you. ”

Xing Shuang saw that her husband was so serious, so she also said seriously: "You just have to say something, why do we need to hide it from each other." ”

Jia Liang walked to the kang cabinet, took out a stack of papers, and spread it out for Xing Shuang. Xing Shuang looked at the past, this first one was a drawing of a sailboat, and the standard on the drawing was all in English, without a little Chinese on it.

"Where did this come from?" Xing Shuang read it carefully and said in surprise: "This is a small merchant ship from the Netherlands, did you find someone to buy it?" ”

Xing Shuang grew up in Europe since she was a child, so she is naturally no stranger to these things, and the characteristics of the Fulute merchant ship are obvious, so as soon as she saw the name, she remembered the ship.

Jia Liang replied to her: "The people who asked the mission to buy it from the shipwright, but they couldn't buy the drawings of the big boat, only the small boat of this kind." ”

Xing Shuang thought for a while and said: "This kind of small boat is mostly used for trade between European countries, and at this time, there is an entry tax for European shipping, and the ship has a deep waterline, so it pays more taxes." This kind of ship will suddenly narrow the hull upward, so the same cargo, with a shallow waterline, can avoid taxes. It's just that if you want to use this ship to go to Europe, you can't, this ship can only be transported for a short distance, and you can't go too far. ”

Jia Liang listened to his wife's words, sighed and said: "I don't know this, it's just that the people in the mission refuse to sell me the drawings of the big ship, I heard that the Spanish galleon is the best ship at this time, not only as a warship, but also as a large merchant ship to cross the Atlantic."

"It's just that we don't have such a shipwright here, and the drawings won't sell me, so I'm at a loss."

Xing Shuang immediately understood her husband's intentions, thought about it carefully, and proposed: "Make this ship first, our side has not yet opened a waterway, and it is not ideal for serious trade." You can send someone to Malaysia, Indonesia and other places to get some rubber and other materials back there, or you can cooperate with our carriage to make the rubber tires out. ”

Jia Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "That's right, I must have rubber, but I also want spices." There are also tropical fruits that you have always loved to eat, and there are a lot of them over there, durian soursop apples, don't you always talk about them? ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "You go to do your own business, and you are worried about what I am doing here, the fruit is not easy to store, beware of transporting it and it will all be broken." It's just that you still have an errand on your side, how do you deal with this matter at sea? And if you want to communicate with the locals, you can't do it without a guide, and now everyone can speak English. ”

Jia Liang was distressed, and for a while he felt that he lacked skills, and he couldn't wait to get it and split himself in half. The couple talked for a while, Xing Shuang was sleepy, so she lay down and rested first, but Jia Liang lit the lamp again and meditated all night, and ran to the court early in the morning with two dark circles under his eyes.

The sage was listening to the man's performance, and when his eyes turned to see Jia Yu in the crowd secretly yawning there, he called Jia Yu's name angrily.

Jia Liang hurriedly stepped forward to bow down, and then heard the sage ask: "You don't look good, didn't you sleep all night last night?" ”

Jia Liang lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty Shengming, yesterday a minister was thinking about the lantern at night, why can those English and French people bring their goods to us and make our money, but we want to sell our specialties at such a cheap price, and let them go back to make a lot of money." ”

The saint looked up at the ceiling speechlessly, and felt the urge to curse again.

"You're not a household, so you're worried about what you're doing!"

Jia Liang hurriedly replied: "It's not that the minister takes care of the affairs of the household department, but the minister thinks that these people can come to us across the ocean to give gifts, as if they are capable." The minister was not convinced, and thought that if he could be like them, he could get a boatload of gifts and find a place for His Majesty in front of their king. ”
