Chapter 277: Answering Questions and Solving Doubts
Feng Quji and Xiaozheng had no personal relationship on weekdays, so the moment he saw Ying Feiyu enter the door, he knocked over the teacup in a panic.
But he still admires this child who has just entered the palace for a year!
If it is about merit, he, an old man who has worked in the court for decades, is not as much credit as others for a year!
Not to mention those inventions, just talking about pacifying the Xiongnu, it is possible that it will not be completed after several dynasties and generations, and people will easily bring Da Danyu back in a few months.
And in addition to ammunition, there was no need to transport any food and grass supplies at all, and the casualties of the soldiers were also minimal, which alone made him very impressed!
It is precisely because of this that the little boy cannot be truthful!
"Feng Shangshu can rest assured at this point, although the steam engine factory is the private property of this son, but it is also an industry that benefits the country and the people, and this son will not let the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry work in vain, in addition to the normal salary, this son will pay twice as much, one as much as the craftsman, and the other twice as confiscated, how about it?"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled indifferently, and he didn't mean to worry at all.
"Uh...... Are you sure you're not afraid of impeachment? ”
Feng Qujian thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows and asked.
If the young man pays a salary to hire a craftsman, even if it is a private job, it can be said that it is in the past, at least it will increase the income of both the craftsman and the court!
Even if someone is impeached, they can get away with it.
"The steam engine produced by the steam engine factory is a power source and an indispensable ...... for textile mills!"
Xiao Gongzi smiled and continued: "In order to prevent the Xiongnu people from rioting and assimilate into the people of my Great Qin as soon as possible, this Gongzi did not hesitate to buy wool at a high price, which is for the benefit of the country. Build your own factory, hire workers at a high price, and provide jobs for the people, this is for the benefit of the people, and my son pays out of his own pocket to do this kind of thing for the benefit of the country and the people, even if someone is impeached, who do you think the ministers will stand on? ”
Hearing this, the worried look on Feng Quji's face before had all faded, leaving only joy and doubt.
The good thing is that the Ministry of Industry can make money, and this kid doesn't have to be impeached.
Puzzled, he didn't even know what the hell this steam engine was now!
Anyway, it sounds like a very important thing, and textile mills can't do without it!
"Little boy, the wool you bought can really be made into clothes and quilts after being spun?"
He wanted to inquire about this matter carefully in the court, but he couldn't delay the discussion of politics because of this, so he waited until now.
"Of course, the reason why sheep can survive the cold winter every year depends on this thick wool, so the warmth of wool is very good, whether it is made into clothes or quilts, it has good warmth!"
Xiao Zhengtai briefly introduced.
"But those sheep are dirty, and they still have a big fishy smell, not only do they dislike it when they wear it, but others must also dislike it, let alone cover it all night!"
Thinking of the smell on the wool, Feng Qujian couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.
"The dirt on the wool can be treated by washing and bleaching, and the smell can be treated by soaking in salt water, drying, etc., and then after combing, it can be woven and dyed!"
In this era, there are not many chemical additives, and the wool can only be processed in these traditional ways.
"Can you still dye it?"
"Of course, the wool is snow-white, so naturally you can dye whatever color you want!"
"After so many processes, the price of the garment must be very high, right? If the people can't afford it, the little boy will lose money if he can't keep it! ”
Feng Quji frowned, genuinely worried about him.
The purchase of grassland wool is indeed a good way to dispel the rebellion of the Hun people, but it must be long-term and sustained purchase, if it is collected today, tomorrow will not be collected, it will definitely lead to the dissatisfaction of the Hun people, not only can not achieve the effect of assimilation, but also have the opposite effect!
"Feng Shangshu can rest assured, this son knows these things!"
Xiao Zhengtai did not reveal the future benefits of the textile factory, only smiled mysteriously.
Zhang Han's guy bought a stake in the winery, and after tasting the sweetness, as long as he had the opportunity, he would see the needle and encourage him to do business.
So he also kept an eye on it, making the trade of the textile factory seem expensive and unprofitable, and it was all about benefiting the people.
In this way, many people can be dissuaded!
"That's it, I'll order someone to draw drawings later, and then ask the little boy to decide after the drawings are drawn!"
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Feng Quji had nothing to worry about, and immediately agreed.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Zhengtai also arched his white and tender little hands, jumped off the chair, and led people away.
……
"Dad, during the time our restaurant opened, business was booming, and it was full of friends every day!"
In Xianyang City, Cui Mansion.
Cui Sheng, who had just opened a restaurant and was promoted from young master to shopkeeper, came to the bedside of Lao Tzu Cui Jingtong and said with a happy face.
"Well, you kid did something serious!"
From the opening of the restaurant to the present, the housekeeper reports the situation in the store every day.
Knowing that the restaurant made money, his mood was also a lot more relaxed, and his health was better than before, and he could go around the yard every day!
"The tiger father has no dogs, the old man's business is doing well, and the young master naturally can't be ...... bad!"
The housekeeper Cui Cheng immediately gave a sycophant, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, the young master goes to the restaurant at dawn every day, and he doesn't come back until late at night, and everyone has lost a lot of weight!" ”
"Hmmm! During this time, you go out early and return late, which is really hard! ”
Cui Jingtong nodded with satisfaction.
Although he has never been to the restaurant to have a look, but every day he gets up, his son has already gone out, and he has not returned from sleep at night, and he is really working hard!
"Daddy! I'm the eldest son of our Cui family, if I don't work hard, who will work hard, just look at it......! ”
Cui Sheng tilted his head and said with a smug smile, "The chef invited by our restaurant has fried food for the waiter of the military department, and his skills are very good, as long as he has eaten once in our restaurant, he promises to never look down on other people's houses again!" ”
"Master, although our restaurant was bought at a great price, but the location is good, just opposite Jixiangju, they stick to the rules, the dishes have not been improved, since the opening of our restaurant, robbed them of a lot of guests, I heard that recently began to plan to change hands!"
The housekeeper Cui Cheng bowed his waist, squinted a pair of mouse eyes, and said with a smile.
"What? Changing hands? They are the same as our winery, but this century-old brand in the city is going to change hands? ”
Hearing this, Cui Jingtong sat up from the bed and was shocked.
"Dad, that's right, I also heard the guests in the store mention it, saying that when they were eating at Jixiangju, they saw people come to the door to ask the price!"
Cui Sheng nodded firmly.
