The emperor was full of lawsuits, and Jinrong raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows to hide the smile on his face. If you don't care about the power and prestige, there are really not many people who can say anything about Ye Xinyan.

Zhang Cunhai stood beside the emperor, facing Ye Xinyan's position. He really has a toothache now, thanks to the fact that this eldest lady is from the Anguo Mansion. If any princess has such a character and such ability, I am afraid that the sky will be crushed by her.

Cheng Dahui is considered a close minister of the emperor, but it is the first time he has seen this kind of scene. He didn't have the ability of Jinrong and Zhang Cunhai to resist blows, and he was very unproductive and Wang Qiao and the craftsman, and he was reduced to the same level.

Several people widened their eyes in shock, their mouths couldn't close, and their eyes looked back and forth between the emperor and Ye Xinyan, properly dumbfounded.

"You go on." The emperor motioned for Ye Xinyan to continue, to see what else she could do.

"Uh-huh." Ye Xinyan nodded hurriedly, and could continue, it means that this money can be earned.

"That's what the courtiers think, we welcome Lord Cheng's subordinates to go to the mechanical workshop to learn the craft. Given that these craftsmen belonged to the imperial court, even if they learned the craft, they were doing things for the imperial court.

The woman will give Cheng a discount, we will not count the money according to the head, you give the mechanical workshop 3,000 taels of silver, as long as it does not affect the normal work of the workshop, we have no limit on the number of people, Cheng can take his subordinates in and out of the mechanical workshop at will. Your Majesty, do you think so? ”

"Three thousand taels?!" Those present, whether light or heavy or inaudible, all had an exclamation.

Why didn't she grab it?! The emperor frowned, and his previous good mood was gone.

This Nizi, it's so unbelievable! He had to find time to talk to An Guogong and Jiang Yifan, and let them discipline this girl strictly.

Among the people present, the calmest ones were Jinrong and Zhang Cunhai.

Jinrong won't talk about it, Zhang Cunhai has also dealt with this grandmother a lot. Zhang Cunhai thinks that no matter what he does or what he says, he will have a sore toothache at most, but he will not be surprised.

Wang Qiao had seen Ye Xinyan bargain with officials of the Ministry of Industry and earn three thousand taels of court silver.

Because of the three thousand taels of silver, his mother Zhao directly turned against Qi Younian, which led to many things that happened later. This time, although the object of the bargain was the emperor, he had seen it once, he was mentally prepared, and he could sit firmly.

The craftsman beside him was not good, sitting in the bright imperial study, facing the emperor, he was already trembling, and he was sitting next to the edge of the brocade stool, trying to sit.

At this time, listening to the Qi Niangzi they knew well, so blatantly deceiving the emperor's silver, one was surprised, and the other rolled to the ground, attracting the attention of everyone else.

That's right, in the eyes of the craftsman, Ye Xinyan is cheating the emperor of silver. The masters who will be the prisoners, that is the existence that these folk craftsmen look up to, are the masters who can't be hired for money, okay?

But what about Qi Niangzi? Instead, he asked people for money. The inexhaustible and money-making weapons that Qi Niangzi said before were all Qi Niangzi's mouthful, and she was fooling the emperor.

Craftsmanship is such a thing, and when you meet a good owner, you can also get a few more money. If the owner employer is mean and vicious, then it is nothing.

Looking at the craftsman like a rolling gourd, Zhang Cunhai was only stunned for a moment, and then reacted, stepped forward with a smile, and helped the craftsman up with Wang Qiao.

Cheng Dahui looked at the busy Wang Qiao and Zhang Cunhai, full of entanglement, how could he and the craftsman who would be the supervisor go to the mechanical workshop for a long time?

The biggest problem is that Ye Xinyan wants three thousand taels of silver.

Three thousand taels of silver is a lot, but if the craftsmen who will be the supervisors can learn how to make a steam engine, and even experience its wide use, the three thousand taels of silver will be worth the cost, and it is worth it.

But he can't say this, he is the chief eunuch of the court. It stands to reason that he should be at the top of the craftsman's business. However, since the escaped Miss Ye has returned to people's attention, all kinds of new equipment have been introduced, and he, the general eunuch, has been very empty-minded.

Catching up is a top priority.

Ye Xinyan glanced at the emperor and saw that the emperor's brows were tightly locked, so he didn't agree, right?

She was also a little displeased, the emperor was rich in the world, and he was also a little stingy. I didn't agree to such a discount, I was going to grab it.

She decided to give it a little more effort, "Your Majesty. I think that Grand Steward Wang has already told His Majesty that if the steam engine is successful, it will be a versatile driving force, which can be applied to many industries, with a huge effect and amazing results.

After the power output of the steam engine stabilized, the mechanical workshop sold the steam engine technology to the imperial court at a preferential price, as a gift for the imperial court craftsmen to pay tuition, do you think? "Anyway, this thing can't fall into my own hands, so it's better to sell a favor at this time.

The application of the steam engine is indeed of historical significance, but because the process of R&D and testing is not frictional and twists and turns, it is basically a one-step process, so the R&D funds are not used much. The emperor is also a thief and a money-obsessed person, so she should do good deeds and buy less silver.

"Anything else?" After listening to Ye Xinyan's new proposal, the emperor was still expressionless.

Ye Xinyan was anxious, and looked at Jinrong, hoping that Jinrong could make a haha, harmony and mud in the middle, so that she could earn the money. This is a technical concept after a thousand years, freshly baked, and Tong Su is not bullied.

But how can Jinrong have such courage as Ye Xinyan? The father can tolerate Ye Xinyan, and she can be wild in the imperial study, but he will never tolerate his disobedience as a son.

He's not underdrawn, why do you want to do such a futile thing?

Besides, Emperor Laozi's face is not quite right, it is very different from usual. He had better take a look at it again, and don't disturb the interest of Emperor Laozi.

In particular, you have to work hard yourself, "Your Majesty, you will definitely not lose the three thousand taels of silver." The craftsmanship of our mechanical workshop, if it is said that it is the second in the world, then no one dares to call it the first in the world. ”

Ye Xinyan looked at the emperor, still expressionless?

"Your Majesty, the conscience of heaven and earth, this is really already the price of conscience. Didn't you say that you don't compete with the people for profit? You're the Son of Heaven, so it's not good to do things like a white wolf with empty gloves, right? Ye Xinyan was about to cry, she felt in a trance that this was not the imperial study, and the emperor in front of her was not the emperor. Her real identity is that of a vendor in the wet market, who is fooling passers-by into buying a useless thing.

"Ahem, ahem." Ye Xinyan's voice was not settled, and the dry coughs of Jinrong and Zhang Cunhai sounded at the same time. Grandma, you have a long life, but you also have to consider the feelings of our big guys, right?

The emperor's face did not jump, although he did not laugh out loud, but a smile gradually appeared on his face. Ye Tang's granddaughter, how rich does this have to be?

Ye Xinyan looked at the emperor's face and forgot to close his mouth in surprise. You don't have that, do you? You are a dignified emperor, how many serious things in the world do not do, but you come here to tease me?

"Okay, according to your words, three thousand taels of silver, all the skills you have in the mechanical workshop craftsmen's guild, the craftsmen of the imperial court must also learn, if there is any secret," the emperor glanced at Ye Xinyan lightly, "Then double the silver and return it, twice it." "I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
