"II...... Twenty taels of gold? ”

Li Youcai was stunned.

He didn't dare to think that the cost of such an ingenious device was only twenty taels of silver!

"Silver! It's just a bunch of broken copper and iron, not worth a few dollars, and the really valuable things are here! Wen Chen smiled and pointed to his head.

"Childe is really a god!"

Li Youcai's expression was so excited that he couldn't help but breathe a little heavier, and couldn't help but admire, "Twenty taels of silver is only, how can a hundred textile machines be enough?" My Lao Li will chase another 100 units! ”

"Refreshing!"

The two hit it off, and Wen Chen was also glad that he didn't find the wrong partner, it seems that he made the right bet this time!

The next thing is to draw drawings that are familiar with the road, and this time the blacksmith needed to build the parts will naturally be handed over to Li Youcai, who has great powers in Qingcheng.

Qingcheng has been rainy in recent days, and gradually enters the rainy season every year.

Tan House.

At the dinner table, Tan curled her cheeks and looked at the drizzle outside the door, a little distracted for a while, she remembered that Wen Chen when she was a child was very fond of rain, and always took her out to play at this time.

I don't know how he is doing under Ma Ruyi now, and whether he can eat a full meal.

Tan Feifei, who was still wrapped in gauze on his head, put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at his mother.

With a look of schadenfreude, he said, "Mother, now the Li family is completely finished, I heard that Li Youcai has found all over Qingcheng, and there are few guards who are willing to help him weave the 300,000 pieces of cloth, if the Li family falls, my Tan family will stand up!" ”

The Xue family, who was sitting on the main seat, smiled and nodded, "Yes, his Li family has been stained with the light of the imperial court over the years, how many benefits have he gained?" Now God has eyes, and it is also appropriate to accept Li Youcai! ”

Once the Li family's seat is vacant, everyone will have more opportunities, and if anyone will be elected as the new court cloth supplier, it will be awesome!

The Tan family is no exception, since they got the news half a month ago, the Xue family has already instructed the housekeeper of the Tan Mansion to buy a large number of cloth raw materials, ready to wait for the fall of the Li family, and go up in one fell swoop!

When the time comes, when the master comes back, he will definitely praise me for being smart and capable!

Xue Shi thought of it.

Tan Yuan frowned slightly, and said softly, "Mother, Uncle Li is a friend of my father for more than 20 years, he wrote a letter to ask for help a few days ago, and if you don't help, isn't it a bit too much to say this kind of cool talk now......

"Bastard!"

Before Xue could speak, Tan Feifei slapped the table and stood up, "What is a friend?" Which piece of silk and satin on your body was bought with the Li family's silver? ”

"If you don't take this opportunity to collapse the Li family and make money quickly, what should I do with the vacancy of three thousand taels of silver?"

"The benevolence of a woman, it's not for you to be in charge, otherwise my Tan family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"

Tan Feifei has always held a grudge against his sister for helping Wen Chen escape, but the two of them can be regarded as brothers and sisters, so they didn't tear their faces and make a fuss.

Tan Yuan's little face was flushed with anger, the eldest brother in the past few days seemed to be stunned, targeting himself everywhere, and what he said was particularly ugly.

The Xue family on the side sighed helplessly, and said in a round field, "Wrap up, you can't blame your mother for being hard-hearted, even if your mother agrees to help the Li family weave cloth, then Li Youcai will not be angry, and he will die to the death!" ”

"No, a few days ago, Li Youcai just spent a few thousand taels of silver to buy a house, saying that he was going to open a new workshop, and he also found a layman surnamed Wen or Wei to be the shopkeeper, but he didn't recruit any workers, and he tinkered with charcoal and iron utensils all day long, isn't this not a good job!"

"Mother, look, this Lao Li is afraid that because of the affairs of the imperial court, he is so frightened that he has lost his mind, and his brain has been broken!"

"The shopkeeper surnamed Wen ......" Tan was stunned, "Could it be Wen Chen?" ”

Click-

A brand-new teacup was thrown to the ground by Tan Feifei angrily, and the last thing he could hear now was Wen Chen's name!

"Wen Chen? He deserves it too?! ”

"A dog from Tanfu, after changing the owner, maybe one day he angered Ma Gongzi, and he has been thrown into the river to feed the fish, so he also wants to be the shopkeeper?"

"Whew!"

When Xue Shi heard this, he also straightened his face, "Wrap up, don't put that person's name in front of your eldest brother in the future, your eldest brother has been wronged, why are you still turning your elbow out?" ”

Tan curled his lips and was silent, pushed the dishes and chopsticks in front of the table, got up and left the dining hall.

"Mother, it's getting more and more disagreeable, let's hurry up and find someone to marry him, she stays at home every day to block me!"

Tan Feifei pleaded with his mother with a well-behaved face.

Xue touched her son's face lovingly, this is the lifeblood of her life, and she has to take care of it.

"Good, good! When your father comes back, he will do as you say! ”

Tan Yuan, who was in a depressed mood, walked out of Tan's mansion alone, holding an oil-paper umbrella and wandering aimlessly on the bustling streets.

Since Wen Chen left, the eldest brother and mother seem to have changed as if they were different people, and they don't care about her as before, but gradually begin to become strangers.

In recent days, the eldest brother has been working against her everywhere to find trouble, and her mother, who has always been gentle, does not look at her, which makes Tan Yuan very sad.

If only Wen Chen were still here, he could still talk to himself.

As I walked, I began to hear a roar in my ears, as if something was colliding with each other in the water, and it was very lively.

Tan Yuan suddenly looked up, and saw that the bridge not far ahead, surrounded by people, poking out the riverside below his head.

She likes to be lively by nature, so she involuntarily leaned over.

"This big brother, I'm tired of asking, what are you doing next, why is there such a big movement?"

"You don't even know that? The Li family is weaving! The gray-hatted man didn't reply.

"Weaving? Why does the little woman sound like a fight? Tan said curiously.

"You don't understand this, the Li family found a fairy out of nowhere, I heard that this kid can make the textile machine move by itself, and the magic power is very good, and a machine can weave more than 100 pieces of cloth a day, which is very exaggerated!"

"That's it, we also heard that there are such strange things, so we came to visit!" Others chimed in.

Tan Yuan was shocked in her heart, her family is in the cloth business, how have she ever seen a textile machine that can weave more than 100 pieces of cloth a day? Even if the operator is long with ten hands, it is impossible!

At this time, a group of people came in the distance, and the shirtless man sitting on the tall horse in the front was full of spring breeze, with a big red flower tied to his chest, and frequently hugged his fists to the left and right.

"Yoh? Did this king blacksmith win the championship? How can it be so beautiful? ”

"You know a fart, but I've heard that those machines that can move by the Wen shopkeeper were built by the king blacksmith at the beginning!"

"Lord Taishou also personally met with Lao Wang, saying that he would be selected as the first of the top ten people who moved Qingcheng this year!"

"Alas, it's really a person who has ascended to heaven, and even the little minion who worked for the shopkeeper Wen has turned over, how can such a good thing not fall on me?"

The gray-hatted man sighed.

Tan Yuan, who was listening to the conversation of several people on the side, moved in his heart, "This big brother, what is the full name of the shopkeeper Wen you are talking about?" ”

"Wen Chen! You don't know? The gray-hatted man was surprised, "Since the opening of this Wen's cloth workshop yesterday until this morning, more than 20,000 horses of summer cloth have been removed from this river, do you think it's scary?!" ”
