"Dad, mother, why don't I go and visit the third sister and see what she says now?"

The second daughter's proposal, after Chang Dadou and Li glanced at each other, they felt that it was also a solution, it was better than hiding like now, this is not a long-term solution.

With the approval of her parents, Chang Er'e began to prepare to visit Chang Xi.

Husband Zhou Man poured cold water on Chang Er'e, "Your parents-in-law are confused, and you can't be confused?" It's not like I've never seen my sister-in-law, how can it be that powerful Chang Niangzi? ”

"Whether it's true or not, it's always good to go and see it." Chang Er'e has her own reasoning, "I heard that the tea brick workshop is still recruiting, let's stop by to register for a name, what if we are recruited?" It's better than taking care of this little bit of land at home......"

Zhou Man snorted lightly, feeling that his wife was whimsical, "What do we croppers eat if we don't farm?" I didn't go anywhere, I farmed at home. ”

Chang Er'e glared at her husband, who was unenlightened, and had no choice but to discuss it with her eldest sister first.

Chang Da'e saw her sister coming, and hurriedly welcomed her into the thatched house, "Why did you come here?" Are your parents and little brother okay? By the way, those officials are not here for my father, but for the construction team, but who believes it, it's not good to pull the strong Ding, the strong laborers in the village have recently gone outside to hide, you let the father and the younger brother also hide, don't be arrested......"

What her eldest sister said, Chang Er'e didn't care at all, but pulled Chang Da'e to talk about Chang Niangzi's suspicion of her own little sister in the tea brick workshop, "Speaking of which, San'e has been married for so long, and we haven't visited her in the city, this time it happened that our sisters went together to see how she was doing?" ”

Chang Da'e gasped, "Daddy can't be a hypothesis, right?" Is that person really our family's San'e? ”

"It's out of the way to go and see, just in case." Chang Er'e said, "We are also sisters, she is developed, shouldn't she win us over?" You can't be so selfish. ”

Chang Da'e was noncommittal to the second sister's words, and there was nothing to lose if she didn't go over to take a look, so she nodded and promised to go to the tea brick workshop with her to have a look.

When she lay down at night, she still told her husband Luo Xiaoli all this, "I don't know if this person is a little sister, I heard my father and mother say that Xu Dalang is dead, and my little sister will not come back to squeak, I don't feel good in my heart." ”

Luo Xiaoli has always been a farmer who is silent, and seeing that his wife is worried at this time, he said in a sullen voice, "Then you can go with your second sister-in-law to have a look, and Ming'er will pack up some mountain goods and send them by the way." ”

Chang Da'e hurriedly responded, and was indescribably happy to her husband for generously letting her subsidize her mother's family.

"It's winter now, and there's no work in the field, so you can send our sisters to find your little sister tomorrow."

When Luo Xiaoli heard this, he nodded his head in agreement.

The next day, Luo Xiaoli entrusted his children to his father and mother to take care of, and escorted the Chang sisters to Chang Xi.

In the courtyard of the Xie family, the new spinning machine attracted Lin Yuqi to go to the onlookers, looking at this wooden machine, he showed an interested expression, "If you use steam power, the speed of this spinning can be accelerated." ”

"That's the truth, but you can't chew too much, things have to be done step by step." Chang Xi saw the eagerness in Lin Yuqi's eyes, so he poured a basin of cold water on him.

In fact, she knows better than anyone that the spinning machine uses steam power, which is the beginning of the industrial revolution, but first, the technical bottleneck is not so easy to break through, and the second is that the use of iron tools is not so arbitrary in this fucking era, the output of iron ore is now very low, Daewoo Dynasty has a limit on the use of iron in China, and the tea brick workshop has almost used up the quota, so the spinning machine can only use wood now.

The objective reality is here, and it cannot be changed by subjective motivation.

"Third Brother Lin, Sister Chang is right, our research over there has not been successful." Xie Yuxin unceremoniously hooked Lin Yuqi's back collar and led the person away, saving him from being distracted.

Lin Yuqi's face was full of grievances, but he didn't resist, and even said to Yang Craftsman, "I'll talk to you next time." ”

Craftsman Yang wiped his sweat, of course he knew who this little madman was, after all, everyone was doing experiments in other courtyards, and he had more or less heard about him, but he was not afraid, so he raised his voice and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come." ”

Chang Xi is happy to see such an interactive atmosphere, and it is a good thing to promote each other.

Craftsman Yang had the opportunity to report the progress of the establishment of the woodworking workshop to Chang Xi, and then said: "Chang Niangzi, it takes a lot of man-hours to make a spinning machine like this by yourself, and this time cannot be saved......"

"Why don't you learn from the successful experience of the tea brick workshop, split the spinning machine into several assembly lines, one person is responsible for one link, and finally assemble it, what do you think?"

Yang Craftsman has not heard of this division of labor, and he did not answer Chang Xi for the first time, but rehearsed in his heart whether this method can speed up the working hours, not to mention, he felt that this was a method worth learning from, so he said, "I think it is feasible." ”

"Then try it this way and produce a batch of spinning machines as soon as possible."

After encouraging Craftsman Yang, Chang Xi paced to Xie Jin's study, and he didn't know what Xie Jin was busy with recently, in short, when she came to the workshop during this time, he didn't have much time to ask about these things, but she came to him after she was busy.

Zhou Nan saw Chang Xi coming over, and did not stop him, as a qualified long-term follower, he had to take care of his master's mood first.

Seeing the dark circles under Xie Jin's eyes, Chang Xi rarely felt a little distressed, how much this ruined this handsome face, she couldn't wait to snatch the pen from his hand and yelled, "I'm coming, you go to rest." ”

Well, she just thought about it and didn't really yell it out.

Xie Jin saw the undisguised distress in her eyes, and immediately put down the brush in his hand, "It's all arranged?" ”

"Pretty much." Chang Xi said, "There is no news from the construction team on Lord Zhou's side, and it will be like this in the next few days, so I won't consider cooperating with him." ”

The prestige of the government in this era is really not good, after all, there are things to serve in the conscription and pull the strong ding, so the people in the village are quite afraid of the officials, and it is estimated that they will not cooperate with Lord Zhou.

She gave the idea, but she didn't plan to teach Lord Zhou how to do it to dispel people's concerns, this is also a test for an official like Lord Zhou, and he can't even solve this little thing, it can only prove that his governing ability is like this, and it is better for such a person not to be promoted again, so as to save harm to the people.

Xie Jin frowned, the suggestion she gave to Master Zhou was sorted out and put in front of his case that night, the idea was a good idea, but unfortunately there were bad deeds in the past, and this idea may not be realized, so he is currently taking a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.

"Give him some more time to see if he can change the status quo, it will take a while for your confidentiality contract to be accepted by the villagers."

Chang Xi shrugged her shoulders, even if she promised him, but she couldn't really wait for the news from Lord Zhou indefinitely, and the second-hand preparations that should be made still had to be prepared.

Lord Zhou is so anxious that he has a string of blisters in his mouth now, although he knows that this thing is difficult to do, but he didn't expect it to be difficult to do like this.

Mrs. Zhou on the side saw her husband like this, so she said dissatisfiedly, "If you can't do it, forget it, you are dedicated to the good of others, and people don't appreciate it, what can you do?" Just don't be in the limelight, anyway, I'm satisfied with a safe and secure one. ”

"You know what?" Lord Zhou yelled at his wife.

Mrs. Zhou immediately choked back, "I don't understand? Hmph, isn't it the idea that Chang Niangzi gave you, I don't think it's very good, why did you believe in her evil? She can do such a big thing, I don't know how many men behind her support her, what are you doing in this troubled water? Don't fall in love with her, do you? In the end, she made herself look like a tigress.

Recently, when she went out to socialize, she heard too many legends about Chang Niangzi, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted, but it was not easy to say it directly, for fear that people would offend Chang Niangzi by spreading it, and she was afraid that she would lift a stone and hit her own feet when the time came.

But who knew that her man heard her trick in the blink of an eye, and she hated this person she had never met even more.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Master Zhou jumped up and covered his wife's mouth to prevent her from talking nonsense about his affairs.

Mrs. Zhou glared at her husband fiercely, opened her mouth and bit her husband's mouth, after being an official wife for so many years, she still hasn't forgotten her former true colors, "Okay, you are a negative man, you are annoyed and angry when you are said to be ......"

"What are you talking about?" Lord Zhou swore impatiently, "If I fall in love with Chang's, I will be hit by five thunderbolts from the sky, right?" ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she burst into laughter and glanced at her husband, "You didn't like her, so what are you bothered about?" ”

"A woman has long hair and short knowledge." Master Zhou sat back in the recliner, "There is someone behind the Chang family, otherwise she can't climb the eldest princess, if I cooperate with her, I will have a bright spot in this term, and people who pay attention to the Chang family will naturally be able to see my ability." ”

Everyone understands the next words, Mrs. Zhou didn't expect her husband to think so, but it makes sense to think about it, "Or I will give Chang a post and invite her to the official office to come to the banquet and secretly ask her for advice or two." ”

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he thought this was also a way at first, but when his wife was really going to write a post, he stopped him again, "It's not appropriate, it doesn't show my ability, which is contrary to my original intention." ”

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips when she heard this, this is not good, that is not good, I really don't know what he wants to do, so she sarcastically said: "Just how Chang did it before, you can do it." ”

Master Zhou's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately jumped up from the recliner, "Yes, why didn't I expect to find something to learn from her past behavior." Then the girl ran out, "Madam, I'll go on official business first, you don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner." ”

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but smile when she saw her husband like this, so much so that she wanted to find a day to meet that Chang Niangzi and see who this woman was.
