After burning the drawings, the blacksmith came over with Wan Junyu, "Fifty taels of silver, I wasted a lot of iron in the production process, and the final product is made of fine iron." Of course, if you want a second of these weapons, that's half the cost. ”

Mu Xiwen took the Wanjun crossbow, looked at the exquisite manufacturing and smooth shape, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thanks, blacksmith, can you take a step to speak?"

The blacksmith looked at Liu Dongjia, and Liu Dongjia agreed with a somewhat ugly face.

When he came to the room last time, Mu Xiwen pushed open the window and looked at a tree fifty meters away from the window.

Aim, fire.

"Zheng-" The arrow feathers plunged straight into the trunk of the tree, and the remaining force made it tremble.

Mu Xiwen was very satisfied when she saw this, she turned her head to look at the blacksmith, and said straight to the point: "Blacksmith, is it because of this Wanjun crossbow, so Liu Dongjia and Liu blacksmith have a disagreement with you?" ”

Without speaking, the blacksmith's surprised and ashamed eyes spoke for themselves.

"They...... They wanted how to make the crossbow - but I didn't give it to them, and I still told me about it. ”

Mu Xiwen nodded clearly, and suddenly changed his words: "I wonder if the blacksmith is willing to switch to me?" Truth be told, I'm probably going to make a whole bunch of crossbows and even other weapons later. If the blacksmith is willing to come, I can charge double the price. ”

The blacksmith was even more stunned, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was so fierce that it could scare a crying child.

"No need, Liu Dongjia gave me a bowl of rice when I was about to starve to death, my Lao Tu is not the kind of person who sees money."

"Okay." Mu Xiwen didn't say anything more, directly gave the money and entrusted him to build five more Wanjun crossbows in five days and left.

Out of the forging shop, Wei Ziyin walked side by side with Mu Xiwen, he turned his head sideways and asked unhurriedly: "Why don't you say a few words, he and Liu Dongjia are not all the way, and they will definitely part ways in the end." ”

Mu Xiwen tilted his head and smiled slyly: "That's right." Although the blacksmith looks fierce and vicious, he still has nothing to say about his character. Although he is grateful to Liu Dongjia, he must not be used to his way of acting, and now he is only hanging on to that life-saving kindness.

According to his temperament, he will not take the initiative to leave, but it is not certain whether Liu Dongjia will drive him away. ”

Wei Ziyin raised his eyebrows and glanced at her meaningfully.

When she returned to Xihe Village, Mu Xiwen saw a white pigeon flying in the sky, and immediately thought of the carrier pigeons she saw on TV in her previous life that specialized in transmitting information, and she couldn't help but smirk.

"What are you smirking at?" Wei Ziyin said with disgust.

"How about I think I'll train that kind of bird to deliver messages in the future?"

Wei Ziyin's eyes were even more disgusted, "That's originally a carrier pigeon, you can buy it if you have money." ”

“！ Homing pigeon? Are there really carrier pigeons? Mu Xiwen looked like he had never seen the world, and watched in amazement as the carrier pigeon flew in the direction of Xihe Village.

"Eh, it seems to have flown to Xihe Village."

She said this, but she didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it might be a carrier pigeon.

But what she didn't know was that the carrier pigeon really went all the way to Xihe Village, and finally stopped at the window of Wang Peiyun's house.

Inside the house, Wang Peiyun, who was practicing painting, suddenly heard the sound of "toot" by the window, she opened the window, her apricot eyes lit up, and then took off the note on the pigeon's leg, and then took the note to find Wang Zhongxian.

"Brother, what did Miss Yi San say?"

After reading the letter, Wang Zhongxian said: "Yanran said that Tai'an Mansion is very good now, and if there is really any danger over there in Baoning Mansion, the prefect will definitely send someone to inform Lord Yi." Moreover, the embankment in Boryeong Province is wider and taller, which is not at all comparable to the small embankment in Anyang County. ”

Wang Peiyun's eyebrows were crooked, and a sweet smile was raised, "Brother, how about you say we sell new rice now?" ”

"Selling new rice? Didn't the Mu family say that everyone should not sell new rice for the time being, just in case? ”

"Arwen is just hearsay, his own speculation. Didn't the third lady say that Boryeong Mansion is very safe. Now everyone does not sell new rice, which has caused the price of new rice in Anyang County to rise a lot. When they reacted later, they sold rice one after another, and the price of rice was about to fall. ”

When Wang Zhongxian heard this, he thought it was true.

After discussing with Wang Datian, Zhao Xia and others, everyone unanimously agreed to this proposal.

Wang Datian smoked a dry cigarette and couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's just a little girl, her hair is long and knowledgeable, so she can be scared of such a little thing." ”

So, the next day, they pushed the freshly dried rice to the Anyang County market to sell.

Along the way, many people in Donghe Village saw each other and persuaded each other with kind words: "Oh, Miss Peiyun, how do you sell new rice, didn't Mu Li say that everyone should not be in a hurry to sell it first?" ”

This kind advice hit Wang Peiyun's heart.

The Mu family said that the Mu family said that everything was said by the Mu family, you must know that they believed in their words before, when did the Mu family replace the Wang family and become the most prestigious family in Dongxihe Village?

She pursed her lips and smiled, "I know that Ah Wen is worried that the embankment on the side of Boryeong Mansion will burst, which will threaten the Tai'an Mansion downstream. But in the past few days, I corresponded with the prefect of Taean Province, and she told me that Boryeong Province is very safe, and the embankment is very stable, and it will not burst.

After all, A-Ning is just hearsay, and he has never seen what the Boryeong Mansion embankment looks like, so he is worried. How many people are waiting to exchange this new rice for money, and the price of old rice will be much lower if it is left for a long time.

My family will take the lead and help the big guy see how the new rice market is recently, so that everyone can rest assured when selling rice. ”

The words moved the villagers to tears.

And the market is really as Wang Peiyun predicted, the original price of a pound of new rice was 6 Wen, and now it has risen to 8 Wen, that is, one stone of rice can be sold for 960 Wen, you must know that the original two stone rice is worth 1,000 Wen.

The Wang family was crazy and felt that this was simply an opportunity from God to make them rich.

The royal family had 30 acres of land, with a total output of 60 stone rice, and 50 stone of rice after the land tax and necessary rice grain were removed.

Wang Dagen was so excited that he was as drunk as if he was drunk, and he was about to go home and sell all the remaining rice to the rice shop, but Wang Zhongxian kept an eye on it.

"Daddy, wait a minute. Now that the price of rice has risen so much, if after a while, there are still not many people selling rice, then the price of new rice will definitely rise. We might as well wait and wait for the price of rice to continue to rise before selling. ”

Wang Datian was moved, but Wang Peiyun held the opposite opinion.

"Daddy, after we go back today, many people will definitely know that the price of new rice has risen, and many people will definitely start to sell rice, so won't the price of rice fall again?"

Wang Datian was also a little unhappy, muttering: "Can't we tell them that the price of rice has risen?" ”

But seeing his daughter's serious expression, he could only agree.

In the end, they sold the thirty stone of new rice they had brought, and made about thirty taels of silver.
