Chapter 9 Could it be that you were also sent by the Liang family?
In Dayan Kingdom, being able to eat a full meal seriously is too tempting for ordinary people.
And there is no doubt that with Zhao Hengyi's promise, the young people who can follow into the mountains will definitely be able to eat well.
In the end, the village chief and a group of elders selected thirteen young men with quick hands and feet to serve as Zhao Hengyi and Wu Laoliu's followers when they went into the mountains to hunt.
The chosen ones were very excited, and those who were not selected could only watch with their eyes in stride.
This is already the result of a compromise between the village chief and the elders, no matter how many people there are, they will either follow Zhao Hengyi as a follower, or they will blatantly bully people to take advantage.
Zhao Hengyi doesn't dislike a lot of people, he doesn't care about the small income of hunting, even if the prey is divided equally by everyone, it doesn't matter, what he cares about is people's hearts.
Once the image of being able to take the big guy to eat and live a good life is established, the implementation of other means and plans in the future will inevitably be much smoother.
The thirteen selected young people need to follow Wu Lao Liu to learn for a few days, after all, so many people have to delay too much time when they enter the mountain and then teach how not to alarm the prey, how to identify the direction in the mountain, find water sources, and so on.
Fortunately, these young people guard Daqing Mountain, even if they have not hunted, most of them have picked wild fruits and dug wild vegetables, and they are not strangers to mountains and forests.
For the harvest of this hunting, Wu Lao Liu took the initiative to divide the account into three or seven, and he himself got thirty percent, and Zhao Hengyi got seventy percent.
Zhao Hengyi didn't refuse, but voluntarily took out 20% to buy the rations he needed to carry when he entered the mountain next time.
When the crowd dispersed, the six little ones surrounded Zhao Hengyi and asked questions, begging their brother-in-law to tell them the story of hunting in the mountains.
Zhao Hengyi didn't bother his sisters at all, but took the opportunity to blow nonsense, almost saying that he was a fairy who fell from the sky, and the bluffing little girls were startled, and for a while they nervously grabbed Zhao Hengyi's arm with their little hands, and for a while they cheered for their brother-in-law's bravery!
It's lively, this is what a home should look like.
Miao Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Hengyi and her sisters with a smile as she moved her dilapidated loom out to weave some cloth to subsidize the family.
In a poor mountain village like Elm Bay, owning a loom, even if it is so old that it is about to fall apart, is a very coveted asset.
With the loom, women can subsidize the family, so they don't have to become money-losers in the eyes of men, and the family status can be slightly improved.
Zhao Hengyi also saw Miao Xiaoyu weaving cloth for the first time, and after only a few glances, Zhao Hengyi found a problem.
This loom is not only old, its design is extremely unreasonable, the efficiency of weaving is naturally very low, and even the spindles are still horizontal.
"Xiaoyu, your loom should be able to improve it, the weaving speed is too slow, have you ever seen a faster loom?"
Zhao Hengyi's seemingly bland inquiry made Miao Xiaoyu's body tremble, and she was stunned on the spot!
On the beautiful cheeks, those big eyes stared at Zhao Hengyi in a daze, and their eyes were full of disbelief and huge disappointment!
It felt like being abandoned by the whole world, and as if betrayed by the people closest and most trusted to me!
"Husband, could it be that you were also sent by the Liang family?"
Miao Xiaoyu smiled miserably, "The Liang family is really powerful, Xiaoyu is convinced!" ”
Zhao Hengyi: ......
What do you mean?
I just remembered the Jenny loom I saw in my previous life, and I happened to know the principle again, and I wanted to help transform and upgrade the loom, how did it become sent by the Liang family?
By the way, who is the Liang family?
There is obviously a misunderstanding here, Zhao Hengyi looked at Miao Xiaoyu's sad and sad appearance, his heart hurt inexplicably, I don't know when, this gentle and sensible, but tenacious girl, quietly walked into his heart.
sent the six little ones to the door to play, Zhao Hengyi asked Miao Xiaoyu carefully, and only then did he know where the misunderstanding was.
It turned out that the fall of the Miao family, and even the unclear death of the Miao family, had something to do with the Liang family.
The Miao family was originally the largest cloth merchant in Dangyang County, not only buying cloth from small households around Dangyang County for sale, but also organizing manual production and having its own weaving factory.
When the Miao family's weaving factory was at its most prosperous, there were more than 1,000 looms.
In order to improve the production efficiency of his own weaving factory, Miao Xiaoyu's father once specially researched a new type of loom, which can increase the daily output of a skilled worker by half!
This kind of improvement is quite amazing, and may even trigger changes in the entire industry, if the Miao family can safely replace their own weaving mills with this new type of loom, the future will inevitably become the industry leader!
But not long after this new loom was finalized, I don't know where the news leaked out.
Miao Xiaoyu's father, the middle-aged cloth merchant who was ridiculed by the people of Dangyang County as the father of the Seven Fairies because he gave birth to seven daughters, was also a ruthless person, and after noticing the leakage of the news, he directly burned the world's only new loom to ashes!
Next, the huge Miao family fell rapidly, and the people of the Miao family died unclearly, and in the end, only Miao Xiaoyu, who had the reputation of a mourning star, was left with six young sisters to survive in this world.
And the murderer behind all this is the Liang family, who is also a cloth merchant!
Looking at Miao Xiaoyu, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain in front of him, Zhao Hengyi's brain was spinning rapidly.
If the fall of the Miao family is really the handiwork of the Liang family, then all the conspiracies have already begun when the men who had a marriage contract with Miao Xiaoyu died one by one!
The Liang family left Miao Xiaoyu and her six younger sisters, not because they were soft-hearted, but because they wanted to pry Miao Xiaoyu's mouth open and get the news of the new loom from her!
It's no wonder that just a casual question just now, Miao Xiaoyu misunderstood him for a member of the Liang family.
"Xiaoyu, come and see, the new loom made by Taishan Daren, I don't know what it looks like, but I just came up with a loom, maybe it is more efficient."
Although Zhao Hengyi explained and reluctantly convinced Miao Xiaoyu that he had nothing to do with the Liang family, this suspicion still had to be lifted as soon as possible.
Zhao Hengyi directly used a firewood knife on the mud floor of the grass hut to briefly draw the structure of Jenny's loom in his memory.
Miao Xiaoyu is obviously knowledgeable, maybe the new loom developed by her father has indeed been kept in her heart as a secret.
With just simple lines, Miao Xiaoyu could see what Zhao Hengyi said about what this never-before-seen loom represented!
The horizontal spindles have been changed to vertical, one machine is equipped with eight spindles, and the pedals are designed to directly free the user's hands, and once familiarized, the output can be increased by eight times!
"Husband, stop drawing!"
