Chapter 289: Five Hundred Taels of Silver
Chen Mu made a face at the guards standing beside him, and the guards who were standing beside him to protect his safety frowned a little hesitantly when they saw Chen Mu's appearance.
They feared that there would be a mix of ill-intentioned people among the people.
But fortunately, Chen Mu seems to have been prepared.
He only gave the cloth in his hand to the people on the side, and let his men deliver the cloth to the people.
Those people stepped forward one after another and touched the cloth, and all the people who touched the cloth were embarrassed and emotional.
They retracted their hands and looked in the direction of Chen Mu with complicated expressions.
"This fabric is really soft and thick, I didn't expect that the instrument could weave such a good fabric."
"When I saw the machine weaving the fabric, I saw that the fabric was extraordinary."
"Now look at it, tsk, although compared with the fabric woven by textile craftsmen, this fabric is still a little rough, and the holes are a little large."
"But it's enough for us, if the fabric can be sold cheaper."
"In the future, this textile equipment will be everywhere, and more and more fabrics can be produced by this textile equipment, and the price of fabrics will naturally drop, and even ordinary people can buy these fabrics."
When everyone heard Chen Mu say this, they looked at each other, and a little excitement appeared on their faces.
Nowadays, the income of the people in Daxia is too low, and many people who are living in difficulty wear the same set of clothes all year round.
When the snow storm occurs in winter and the temperature drops, people in the counties near the north will freeze to death.
But if the price of the cloth decreased, the people would be able to use the money in their hands to buy more cloth to sew thicker clothes, so that they could survive the winter safely.
Naturally, the people of the city thought of this.
After hearing Chen Mu say this, everyone rushed forward excitedly, and some people even wanted to pay for the fabric in Chen Mu's hand.
Seeing this, Chen Mu only turned his head and glanced at Li Mao, and Li Mao smiled when he saw this.
The man walked to the weaving apparatus and continued to operate.
It's just a few sticks of incense, and one piece of cloth after another is woven.
The fabric is not much different from the one that was first woven.
Everyone was even more stunned when they saw that the machine continued to operate and weave several pieces of fabric.
"I really weave more fabric, and in just a few pillars of incense, I have woven several pieces of fabric."
"These fabrics are the quantities that some merchants ask several craftsmen to weave in a day."
Someone said this with sighs and sighs, and everyone nodded secretly when they heard this.
And when they were enjoying themselves in the field, the people of the city were willing to believe in the ability of this textile machine.
A discordant voice rang out again.
"Heh, this thing can really weave fabric, it can't be fake, a few of us are just a few steps late."
"There are so many fabrics woven from this thing, aren't these fabrics prepared in advance?"
Hearing these voices, everyone was stunned, and then immediately turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voices came.
Chen Mu saw a few pot-bellied wealthy businessmen standing in the crowd, looking at the textile equipment with disdain, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.
"These should be the merchants who have raised textile craftsmen, the ones who came to Liu Guang and others to shout some time ago?"
Meng Qing came to Chen Mu's face, lowered her voice and said so, Chen Mu also nodded when she heard this, and responded to the peace.
Indeed, these people are those merchants, and they have heard about the textile equipment and the cloth on the street, so they hurried here.
It's just that most of these merchants are stubborn and old-fashioned, and they don't want to believe in the ability of this device without seeing the weaving of this device with their own eyes.
She thought about it like this, and glanced at Li Mao again, Li Mao had already prepared, and she didn't delay when she saw this.
She was up to speed again, and in a few moments a white cloth appeared in his hand.
The merchants stared at each other in astonishment, and when they were surprised, a familiar voice was remembered in the crowd.
Liu Guang had already taken his friends to stand in the crowd to watch the excitement, waiting for these merchants to come forward.
Now seeing that these merchants were shocked by the textile equipment, Liu Guang smiled and said.
"A few of the people who shouted at the beginning that they didn't believe that this machine could weave cloth, but you."
"Now that you're looking at the fabric woven by the machine, I don't know how you feel."
When the wealthy businessmen heard Liu Guang say this, they glanced at each other and suddenly felt faceless.
One of them snorted disdainfully, as if he didn't care about the device.
But the greedy gaze fell on the instrument, unwilling to move away, but it still revealed his thoughts.
"This thing is fake, most likely someone has already arranged a deception, and the hands of the people who planted it are hiding around this device, and then they take out the fabric and give it to you."
"Heh, you guys are so easy to deceive."
"But then again, how much are you going to sell this deceptive thing for?"
A few wealthy businessmen couldn't bear it, and their words went around and around, and they went around to the price of this textile equipment.
When Chen Mu heard a few wealthy businessmen say this, the smile on his face deepened a little.
"The price has not yet been decided, and we still need to report to the imperial court about this equipment."
"What? Why do you have to report it to the imperial court? ”
The wealthy businessmen were stunned when they heard this, and frowned in surprise.
Reporting to the imperial court is naturally to let this instrument go the way.
In this way, when it is promoted in the territory of Great Xia in the future, he can also hold the name of the imperial court, and no one will doubt his identity.
Chen Mu didn't mean to explain to those rich businessmen, after he said this, he didn't pay attention to those rich businessmen, only retracted his gaze, and glanced at Li Mao and the others.
Immediately after, he was about to turn his head and walk towards the inn, and as soon as he took a few steps, Chen Mu heard another voice in the crowd.
"I'm out ...... I'll pay fifty taels of silver for this device, and if you're willing to sell it to me, I'll order a few more." ”
"If you can make more equipment, that's great!"
Hearing this, Chen Mu's footsteps stopped.
He turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman with his eyes rolling and saying this.
As soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, the crowd also became agitated, and immediately several voices sounded in the crowd.
"I'm out! I'll give seventy taels, and if you can sell it to me, I'll be the same as him...... You build a few more, and I'm willing to add more silver. ”
"I'll give me eighty taels!"
"One hundred taels."
