This set of family heirloom drawings, the elder Iza was not only forced by his father to trace many times, but also forced his two sons to trace many times, of course, each time he would choose the neatest one in the new drawings and destroy the others. Not only that, but every morning when I start work, I will also use the magic condensation to shape the mechanical parts in it, so that I am completely familiar with it, and I can draw it silently with my eyes closed.

But it's something that's familiar and dealt with every day, and there's been no inspiration for improvement in my life, and I've been thinking about it lately for nothing.

Although old Iza was a little resentful of this, he didn't feel it deeply, but at this moment, when he faced a few partial pictures that had been slightly changed, he was really shocked from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, the painful memory of being crushed by a genius child in the depths of the memory resurfaced.

There are geniuses in this world, and the elder Iza has long understood this in his childhood, and in the following years he has to admit that he is not the lucky one who is favored by the gods on another level. 'It's bad luck for this kind of genius to know one, but why let Lao Tzu meet another one, but fortunately, this kid is just an ordinary person, well, it's just an ordinary person. '

The second son Aliba didn't have this kind of sadness, but he was very happy to look at some of the newly improved local drawings, couldn't put it down, and asked Old Iza again with his eyes: Take it all out and change it?

Old Iza froze, thought for a moment, and shook his head out of caution. When the rest bell rang and the outsiders left after work, the family sat around for dinner, and when it was over, old Iza first announced that he was about to marry his third wife, and the family members of all sizes had already heard the rumors and were not surprised, nor did they say anything to obstruct them, this kind of thing is really common. Then it was announced that the textile workshop had important matters to discuss.

Everyone understood what it meant, the youngest daughter-to-be-marry pouted, and after eating two bites, she bowed and left the room, as did her grandchildren. Only the youngest one is ignorant, and he is still eating slowly.

Old Izza smiled kindly, and his eyes gestured to the old servant. The latter stepped forward to collect the little grandson's meal, and filled it with a broth, and Wen Yan led the little guy out.

When the idle people and others left, only the core three couples, old Iza just wanted to speak but saw his eldest son get up, his brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, but he was relieved, which was really not surprising at all.

"Father, I still have evening classes to do. ”

"Go ahead. Old Iza smiled and waved his hand, looking very pleased, but this duplicity was only unaware of the eldest son, Affrey.

The old Iza, who was in a very bad mood for a while, was no longer interested in speaking, and waved his hand to his second son, who described the genius of today's young Jim, and finally concluded: "The price of cloth has fallen, and it is difficult for the family to maintain itself, and it is imperative to renew the textile machine." This time, it's a matter of discussion, why don't you take out the whole set of drawings and give Jim some improvements, and see if he can turn a profit. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, but they didn't expect the new little bookkeeper to be so powerful, and finally the second wife asked her own son: "That little doll can really change the drawings?"

"Really, truly. The second son nodded, with a look of amazement on his face, "Three days to read the map, three days to study, and the results will be available today." And the other local drawings that I saw for the first time have also been improved on the spot, and it doesn't seem like someone behind me is pointing out. ”

"Can you really weave more cloth after improvement?" asked the second wife.

"These few small changes will probably only save us a little bit of effort. "It's all my own people here, and the second son doesn't want to brag about anything. "As for the overall improvement, of course, you have to actually try it to find out, but I'm optimistic about him. ”

The woman sang with her husband, and the second daughter-in-law answered: "Let's give it a try." I've heard from friends I know that the two seem to be ready to cut prices to sell more. ”

"Who's listening?" interjected old Iza, in a low voice, but with a majesty that left no room for ambiguity.

"The third daughter-in-law of the old Pissen family. ”

Old Iza hummed softly, and others also nodded, acknowledging the reliability of the news. Then there was a silence and the expressions became serious, and the news undoubtedly pushed the workshop into a corner, and the improvement of textile machinery seemed to be the only way out.

The second son, Ariba, looked at the people around him with anticipation, but became more and more puzzled by the silence, until his father Iza Sr. made up his mind about the matter, and then breathed a sigh of relief. But he was only relieved for one night, and the next day, when a whole set of drawings were brought out and placed in front of the young Jim, he suddenly remembered a sentence that he had been told repeatedly when he was young and tracing the drawings: This is the top secret of the family, and outsiders will kill when they see it.

Yes, with this set of drawings, even the little sister to be married can only see some unimportant parts, and the same is true for her own daughter.

For a moment, Ariba understood what had been silent last night had been: it had occurred to everyone that no one wanted to talk about how to 'handle' young Jim after improving the drawings.

"Dear Lord Aliba, are you alright? ”

"I ...... I'm fine, you wait...... Huh?" Ariba saw the drawings spread out on the table, and then realized that he had been stunned for too long, and his expression was even more difficult to look at.

"Is it the dust in the cabinet that makes you uncomfortable?" said the young Jim, holding down the drawings and opening the window, Arriba still did not get better, and gently grabbed Arriba's arm to help him sit down, and asked a little panicked, "Do you want me to go and tell Master Iza to ask the doctor to come." ”

Looking directly at the innocent and clear eyes of the young man in front of him, Aliba couldn't wait to slap himself, gritted his teeth and took a few deep breaths, and slapped his palms again, saying: "This old smell is really unbearable, thank you so much, the fresh air makes me feel much better." But I'd better leave first, you take your time. ”

Anyway, he didn't care about evaluating his acting skills, and he didn't care about losing his dignity, Aliba rushed out of the room as if he was running away, his steps didn't stop, he found old Iza in the workshop, and asked directly: "What about the child?"

"You just thought of it?"

"It doesn't matter! I want to know, what about that child?"

"What do you say?" old Iza narrowed his eyes, not satisfied with his second son's reaction. From the perspective of a workshop heir, although the second son is a hundred times stronger than the eldest son, he is still not ruthless enough, and he is so emotional for a strange little doll.

Ariba's expression was distorted, and he pulled his father to a secluded place around the corner, and after confirming that there was no one around, he asked, "Do you really want to kill?"

"I'm asking you. ”

"Hire to be a lifelong servant of the house. Ariba said the only compromise he could think of on the way, like the two old servants standing at the table.

The father and son looked at each other for a long time, one side expressionless, the other side turned from antiquity to pleading, and finally despair. Just when Ariba thought that the matter was irreparable, and was about to accept it gloomily, he heard his father ask:

"As a reward for daring to come forward, I put forward two conditions. ”

You say. ”

"First, if the improvement doesn't produce results, you don't have to talk nonsense. Second, you have to convince your mother, your sister-in-law, and your mother-in-law. ”

"The boy knows. Aliba was overjoyed, bowed and left, ready to help young Jim fulfill the most fundamental prerequisites.

Old Iza looked at the back of his second son, shook his head again, and sighed that if there was a third son, it would be good to be a little more angry.

As for why the ruthless and murderous old Iza opened up on the Internet on the most fundamental issue of the family, how could it be to take care of the emotions of the second son, all because of the sense of worry. First of all, in the near future, the two workshops that took the lead in reducing prices must also have talents in this area, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next time after this improvement. Secondly, because of the distance, Bai Yang's news has been inquired about accurately, and a large number of cheap fabrics have indeed appeared on the side of the Kentining Fortress, although I don't know what the quality is when I don't see the real thing, but the merchant's evaluation is very good. And this is undoubtedly a dangerous signal, the cloth market of the Ifusen theocracy is likely to usher in a big price reduction, and the magnitude is incomparable to this summer's small fights.

If Jim is unloaded and killed, how can the next crisis happen to meet a genius in this area again?

Therefore, regardless of whether the improvement can be successful in a short period of time, or whether the second son convinces the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the elder Iza does not intend to carry out the family precepts. The former, if you can't do it in a short time, can take your time, and you can still bear it under tax evasion, while the latter is just a small test for the future heir, and if it is out of pity, it is a good thing that you can improve your understanding of the drawings under the study together.

The days that followed made old Iza overjoyed.

First of all, from the second son's daily report, the progress of improving the design is very gratifying, and several trial runs of the local structure have achieved perfect results, and the old Iza has confirmed this several times. On the other hand, in the gap of various religious activities, finally simply married the girl Bai Yang into the door, and after introducing each other to each other according to the canon, the intercourse at night was even more perfect, after all, the physical strength of the patron of the God of Life was not to be said, and the old bones of the activity could be saved.

Last but not least, there was no conflict between the old and new family members. Such marriages with large age differences are very common and often cause family discord, and the elder Iza himself has seen this situation many times and heard more about it. Therefore, I don't expect the girl Bai Yang to be close to other people, as long as she maintains the harmony on the surface and doesn't tear her face.

Of course, there are also a little troubles, such as the youngest daughter's marriage falling through again, and if she doesn't find her in-laws, she will be an old girl. Another example is the marriage of the eldest grandson, the baby's in-laws have some regrets because of the inheritance issue here, after all, the eldest son is bent on giving up the inheritance of the family business, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

But the elder Iza believes that as long as there is a breakthrough in business, an increase in turnover, and more money, these are not problems. Give more dowry, and after all, you will get married, and if you give more dowry, you will be able to marry after all.

......

When the summer was coming to an end, the first draft of the design of the new textile machine was completed, and in only half a day, the old Iza realized it with transparent condensate. After a few clicks, it was shut down, but its superior productivity has already begun to take shape, and there is no doubt that after a slight modification in the details, it will be an unbeatable machine.

A few days later, when the new machine spits out the first batch of finished fabrics, the elder Iza remembered something. After Jossa's death, he forgot to contact new brokers from the slums, and was faced with a shortage of ordinary weavers.

When the family also learned to condense new parts, five new looms were put into operation, and the efficiency was greatly improved, which naturally brought about a reduction in costs. And the old Iza did not take the lead in reducing prices, just maintaining the status quo, but calculating profits, has returned to the level before the start of the war. And the condensation is more proficient, and there is still about half to one percent of the room for improvement in operating efficiency.

I have seen a lot of people and the world, and of course I have an accurate grasp of the efficacy of money, and things are as old Iza expected, or better than expected. When the price was sufficient, the marriage problems of the juniors who were originally worried about were solved, and even the doll family proposed to send a girl who was only nine years old to learn magic in advance.

The elder Iza was so happy that on the basis of agreeing to the second son's request to hire him as a lifelong servant, he even pondered an additional reward for the young Jim: asking for a mother-in-law for him, as well as a place for his son's lifelong servant. You must know that this kind of iron rice bowl is to be broken in the slums.

However, there are also unpleasant aspects of profit improvement. On this day, the old Iza had just finished contacting a yarn ingot supplier, and remembered the new cotton this year, and when he came home after dark, he wanted to close the tent again and have a good time, but by the way, he decided to pose at night, but met his second son Aliba with a constipated expression.

"Something?"

"Father, look at this tax...... , always hanging like this, the child's heart is not steady. ”

The corners of Old Iza's mouth twitched, and he wanted to scold, but after all, he sighed and faced this problem that he didn't want to face. It is indeed the way to die if it drags on like this, not to mention that when the favor on the side of the priest's college is finally exhausted, such things as raising the dowry and dowry may attract the attention of those tax-collecting priests, and if you rush through the door to check the accounts despite the simple "don't be embarrassed" sentence, it will be all over. Let's talk about that genius boy Jim, after he is busy with the drawings, he should have the time to settle accounts, with that guy's mental arithmetic ability, I am afraid that he can easily find the problem, and when the time comes, whether he will be as pious as his predecessor and rush to 'heaven', no one knows.

Entering the account room and lighting the magic lamp, old Iza stared at the face of his second son and asked, "But what wind did you hear?"

"Not really. Arriba shook his head. If you really heard the wind, it wouldn't be the calm you are now.

"How do you want to restore the tax amount, wouldn't it be a sin to raise it rashly?"

"The reason for using new technology. Ariba has clearly been thinking about this for a long time. "In the old tax system, there was no name for technological innovation, which is why the two companies arbitrarily lowered prices. It is better to let the eldest brother advise the bishop to make a slight change in this regard, and workshops that adopt new technologies must pay a certain amount of extra taxes. In this way, the eldest brother may be able to turn positive, and he can also settle the tax accounts silently, and he can also stabilize the price. ”
