Chapter 150: Paper Kite

What did you buy?

Li Weijian is slanderous in his heart, so he is most annoyed to deal with the rich man, and he doesn't ask you about the cost of research and development, let alone how much effort you expend, just buy it when you open your mouth.

I heard Cao Yunsheng say: "My son is just fiddling with this thing, and he got a Laoshzi Newkemen last year, oh!" is so old and high, he stumbles when he lifts a water bucket, and it is useless to see it. Or is it Li Gongzi this thing good, this ...... The amount is 200,000 taels, and this thing is made at will by himself in the future, what does Li Gongzi think? ”

Two hundred thousand taels? Li Weijian originally wanted to promote the steam engine, who doesn't sell this thing? Why not sell it to the generous old Xi'er?

Li Weijian smiled on his face and arched his hand: "It's easy to say, it's just that this thing is still a sample, and if Cao Gong wants to make it, he will have to wait a little longer." ”

Cao Yunsheng frowned and said, "Isn't this good?" ”

"Cao Gong, now that this steam engine is made of fine copper, the cost is still too high. I turned it back and made it out of iron, and then made it bigger, so that it could be used. ”

Cao Yunsheng looked at the drilling machine, touched his chin and thought: "Li Gongzi, I can turn it around by burning coal in this thing, if it is installed in the carriage, don't you need to raise horses?" ”

Li Weijian suddenly came to his senses, pulled Cao Yunsheng and said with a smile: "Gong Cao, let's go inside and talk." Don't hide it from Cao Gong, I already have this thought. ”

So it's not unreasonable to say that this man made a fortune! Yan Fengzhen tinkered for a while, and he didn't think about loading it in the carriage. Look at Cao Yunsheng, and think about building a car after a little glance. Li Weijian, the rich man like this, wanted to come a few more, because he was very eager to treat him.

Entering the Zhiyuan Hall, Qingwen served melons and fruits, snacks, and tea. The two chatted for a while, and then Li Weijian said: "It is an inevitable trend for this steam engine to be installed in the car, but now the steam engine is large and heavy, and there must be a special place to place coal and water. ”

Cao Yunsheng thought about it and said, "It's not well thought out." It's not proper to put it on a carriage, but wouldn't it be better if it was to be loaded on a boat? ”

Li Weijian blinked, forcibly pressed the urge to pat his thigh, and paid more and more attention to Cao Yunsheng in his heart. I knew that this person had such insight, and I should have made friends with him last time.

But it's not too late to make amends.

Li Weijian saw that most of his teacup was empty, got up and personally poured the teapot for seven points, and only after sitting down did he say: "Cao Gong's vision is extraordinary, and I admire it." Yes, it's just right on a ship. ”

Cao Yunsheng frowned again and said, "Won't it be too heavy?" ”

Li Weijian smiled: "What's so difficult about this? If the steam engine is too heavy, build a bigger ship. ”

"Yes."

Cao Yunsheng lowered his head and thought for a long time, then he changed his words and said, "Li Gongzi, what about the shares of Xishan Coal Mine?" ”

"It's only a few days." Li Weijian calculated: "To tell the truth, with Cao Gong, the internal government has already prepared 200 million catties of coal, which will be sent to Beijing in the near future, which is enough for this winter." Nowadays, all the large and small coal kilns in Xishan are controlled by the internal government, and the coal company conservatively estimates that the annual output is 200,000 taels. ”

Cao Yunsheng suddenly said with a bitter face: "The interest is too little, I'm afraid it's not much." ”

Li Weijian leaned forward and said in a low voice: "It's not much, but Cao Gong has forgotten what is outside the door?" ”

"Huh?" Cao Yunsheng saw Li Weijian raise his chin, so he took the opportunity to look out, and happened to catch a glimpse of the steam engine under the canopy in front of the door. Blinking, thinking about it for a moment, Cao Yunsheng slapped his thigh: "Wonderful, eat as much as you want this share!" ”

200 million catties of coal in Beijing in winter is enough, but with this thing, there must be factories around Beijing in the future, and that is a big coal user! It is not to look at the small scale of coal companies today, but they have great potential in the future.

Cao Yunsheng suddenly had a number in his heart, and immediately complimented Li Weijian and praised the elegance of the garden. It's not like the house in his hometown, it's big, it's like a labyrinth, and ordinary people can't turn it out for a while.

Li Weijian knew that this was a serious matter, so he got up and invited Cao Yunsheng to take a short walk in the garden. At this time, when it was close to Shen, Li Weijian estimated that Yan Fengzhen was afraid that he would not be able to return today, so he invited Cao Yun to stay for a day.

Cao Yunsheng politely refused, and Fang Guoshen took the inconspicuous carriage back the same way.

Li Weijian personally sent it out of the garden, and watched the carriage go away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If there are more rich people like Cao Yunsheng, why worry about the industrialization in the future?

There are a few more factories in the north and south of Dashun, and there are all kinds of machinery around it, so as to form an industrial park, radiating all over the place, it is like a fire, and sooner or later it will change this world!

Until nightfall, Yan Fengzhen did not return, but it made Le Yan, who lived in the guest house, uneasy, and talked to Fu Qiufang for a while.

There was nothing else to do, and it was another day in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning of the second day, he did not wait for Yan Fengzhen, but waited for Wu Qian in the Shen Lang Lang.

This person led a dozen or so fans to come in the dust, and when he got close to the left, he immediately ordered the fans to block the front and rear exits.

Wu Zhong and the Ding brothers were shocked, and each carried a stick to guard it strictly. It was only at this time that Wu Qian stepped forward and said, "This is Li Xiucai's garden?" This official is cautious of Wu Qian, and if you have something to find Li Xiucai, please let me know. ”

Ding Rufeng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly found a rough maid to tell him. Li Weijian got Xin'er's heart, and he didn't know what kind of drama it was. Immediately Shi Shiran arrived at the door and greeted Wu Qian, then Wu Qian said: "Li Xiucai invited, in February, the maid next to Li Xiucai, named Hongyu, has she ever bought a paper kite?" ”

Li Weijian thought for a long time before nodding hesitantly: "It seems that there is such a thing, Wu Langzhong, you are-"

Wu Qian smiled and said: "The emperor's order is here, so Li Xiucai doesn't have to ask more." Please find the red jade and come out, the official wants to ask. Oh, it's better to bring the paper kite with you. ”

Li Weijian knows that he can't be reasonable with such a person, because he can only respond. sent someone to look for Hongyu, and he led Wu Qian and the four fans inside.

Wu Qian walked with his hands in his hands, this person was five short and had a fierce face. At this time, he walked slowly, looked around, and said: "Li Xiucai lives a quiet life, not like his own official, he works hard and has no leisure all day long." ”

"Lang Zhong laughed, I thought that there was no shortage of officials in the court now, and there was a lack of people like Lang Zhong who could do things. Lang Zhong can do things, so naturally those who can work harder. ”

"Hahaha, Li Xiu will speak."

Li Weijian introduced it into Zhiyuan Hall and sent the maid to serve tea. After a short wait, Ruby hurried over. Xu learned that the person who came was the Shen Criminal Division, because Hongyu was a little flustered. When he saw Li Weijian, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to greet Wu Qian.

A pair of triangular eyes carefully looked at Hongyu, until Hongyu looked uncomfortable, Wu Qian said: "Sure enough, Peugeot, Li Xiu is so blessed." What paper kite can you bring? ”

Hongyu was about to speak, but Xiu Ying ran in, still pulling a paper kite in her hand.

"I brought it, and I pressed it to the bottom of the box, but I couldn't find it."

Wu Qian made a look, and immediately a fan stepped forward to pick it up, and glanced at the end of the spike of the paper iris, and saw that the two small copper bells on it were intact as before.

"My lord, everything is there."

Fanzi handed it to Wu Qian, Wu Qian looked at it, then waved his hand, his face softened a little, and said, "Hongyu, do you remember the situation that day?" ”

"Back to my lord, I vaguely remember. Childe took us ...... that day."

At that moment, Hongyu recalled the past, no matter how big or small, and told the so-called general outline of the itinerary and what she saw that day.

Wu Qian was quite surprised. When the ordinary strong man saw the Shen Penal Division, he had to tremble in two ways, and the little girl in front of him was scared at first, but she became more and more organized when she spoke. It's a pity that it's a woman, if it's a man, it's just right to be a clerk in the Penal Division.

Wu Qian listened and asked, "Before and after you bought paper kites, did you pay attention to the stall owner?" ”

"I didn't pay much attention to it, but it should be an old man."

Wu Qian bowed his head and was right. Because he asked again: "Before and after you bought paper kites, have you ever seen anyone else buy them?" ”

Hongyu frowned and thought about it, Wu Qian said: "Don't worry, think carefully, if you think of it, if you think of it, this official will have a heavy reward." ”

After a long time, Hongyu said: "It seems that there is a man in his thirties, leading a naughty boy, and the naughty boy has been clamoring to buy paper kites." I bought it and got into the carriage, but I don't know if they bought it or not. ”

"What does that man look like?"

Hongyu said: "I can't remember clearly, I just remember wearing a Lan shirt." ”

Wu Qian asked again and again for a long time, and when he saw that he really couldn't ask the next question, he frowned and thought about it with a bitter face, clicked a fanzi, and took a booklet to look through.

Li Weijian didn't say anything, he only thought about it on his own. For the sake of a little paper kite, why is there such a fanfare? Could it be that there is no big case involved in this?

Hongyu, who was standing, saw that Wu Qian didn't speak, and her heart suddenly became worried, biting her lower lip for help, and she seemed to look at Li Weijian.

Li Weijian thought for a moment and said, "Hongyu, do you remember what that scholar looked like?" ”

"Fourth master, I really can't remember."

"What's the shape of your face?"

"Square, like a national face?"

"What about the nose? Is it big or small, tall or short? ”

"Moderate."

"Mouth, eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, think about it."

Hongyu hesitated and said, "I really can't remember...... By the way, the man had a rouge birthmark on his face. ”

Wu Qian, who was looking through the booklet on the side, suddenly raised his head and asked sharply, "Rouge birthmark?" How big? What is the shape? ”

Hongyu said: "It's about the size of a thumb, and it looks like a peach heart." ”

"Good!" Wu Qian laughed, he was born with a bad appearance, and his smile was more ugly than a straight face. "What the red jade girl said is of great use to my prudent punishment department, if the thief is caught in the future, this official will not hesitate to reward him."

After saying that, he got up and slightly bowed his hand to Li Weijian: "Li Xiucai, this official has disturbed this time, and he will make amends for his sins in the future." ”

Li Weijian also seemed to get up and give up his hand when he sent the plague god: "Lang Zhong's words are serious, I will send Lang Zhong." ”

Li Weijian was sent to the gate of the garden, and saw Wu Qian leading more than a dozen fans to fight horses, and he was still wondering what the big case was. After thinking about it, the left and right have nothing to do with him, so I put it aside for the time being.

Back in the garden, Hongyu Wu was a little uneasy, and leaned over and said, "Fourth master, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine."

Hongyu frowned and said, "If you don't want to buy a paper kite, you can also attract the Shen Criminal Division." ”

"Xu is a thief who also bought paper kites, it's just that, the left and right have nothing to do with us, so you don't have to think about it."

Hongyu should go down, and return with Li Weijian all the way.

Near noon on this day, Yan Fengzhen finally returned.

Because the two were really familiar with each other, and there was no need for Li Weijian to greet them, Yan Fengzhen entered the garden by himself. Li Weijian got the letter and found Zhiyuan Hall, and saw that the second son was in the dust, and this son was picking up the tea cup and drinking the cow.

"Why is Brother Jingwen late?"

"I'm impatient to listen to this without a bookbag." Yan Fengzhen frowned and said, "These two days have really tormented the dead. ”

"The Loyal and Brave King is not empty?"

"Where, it's my father, who was targeted by a Xiucai surnamed Wu."

Li Weijian was happy: "The teacher was calculated? ”

Yan Fengzhen bowed his head and said, "Isn't it?" Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and this surnamed Wu is also bold. ”

Yan Fengzhen came to the original story, but it was a Guangnan Xiucai who came in the past few days, named Wu Shilong. In order to catch up with the study of the Autumn Festival, this person traveled thousands of miles from Guangnan all the way to the north, and when the Beijing division was exhausted, he thought about it for two days and came up with a poisonous plan.

I don't know who heard that Yan Xiyao relied on calligraphy and painting shops to make money, so this person walked around the restaurants. He also claimed that when the news spread, the people behind the scenes would get rid of it as soon as possible. Because he left a copy of the unveiling post in the restaurant, he only said that if he did not come for two days in a row, it must have been calculated, and the unveiling post would be announced at that time.

Li Weijian smiled: "This person really doesn't know whether he lives or dies, I don't know how the teacher dealt with it?" ”

saw Yan Fengzhen pointing to his nose: "My father ordered me to deal with it, and if I delay it for a day, I will deal with this matter." ”

"Oh? I don't know how Brother Jingwen dealt with it? ”

"What else? I went to see the man surnamed Wu, but this person was quite unruly, and he couldn't talk about two sentences, so he simply brushed his sleeves away. My father will deal with it afterwards...... Huh? Yan Fengzhen suddenly looked at Li Weijian: "Resurrection, why don't you help me deal with one or two?" ”

"Where is that Wu Xiucai?"

"It's at the Quang Nam Hall."

Li Weijian said happily: "Cheng, I'll deal with it." ”

After that, Li Weijian immediately called the Ding family brothers and explained in front of Yan Fengzhen: "Does Jingshi have a gambling stall?" ”

The Ding brothers were in the market earlier, but they were authentic green-skinned lagu, and they knew the big and small things.

"Yes." Ding Rusong said.

Li Weijian explained: "Give the gambling stall some benefits, and the two of you will go to the Guangnan Hall later, find a Xiucai surnamed Wu, and ask him what is the intention of my mentor to accumulate wealth when he walks around." If he is greedy for money, he should not give money directly, but only say that there is a way for him to win money in the gambling stall.

Then lead him to the gambling stall, and don't worry about it when he wins. ”

"Break the fortune and avoid disaster?" Yan Fengzhen said angrily: "Give such a villain money, you are really generous when you come back to life." ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "This person is just a little smart, and this time he got the money, but he got it with his talent." Oh, what I give, he can take; I don't give, he can't rob. Brother Jingwen knows that 'he is weak and does not bear money'? ”

Yan Fengzhen pondered for a while and said, "Guilty of it? ”
