Hearing this, Zhang Lu had already tasted some of the flavor. Seeing Zhang Shou suddenly stop, as if testing them, he said thoughtfully: "Let these people use the new spinning machine. These people should know whether the new spinning machine is easy to use. Once they are used to it, they will definitely realize that this thing is easy to use and they will definitely not be able to leave it!"
Zhang Shou smiled and approved of Zhang Lu's guess: "That's right. Then, as long as you leak out a little information, for example, where this new textile machine came from, someone will definitely get wind of it. Then, it will be no problem for the inventor of the new textile machine to sell a hundred or eighty units to those suckers at a high price."
Zhang Lu thought that this was all just as he had guessed, but he couldn't help asking, "If that's the case, what about those spinners using old spinning machines that you mentioned earlier?" If he didn't consider these people, why did Zhang Shou say something like "one move affects the whole body"? According to his understanding of Zhang Shou, the other party has always been biased towards poor families.
"Don't worry, that's something we'll do later. I know you don't have much money, so don't ask your family for money first, I still have some." Seeing the two hurriedly trying to refuse, Zhang Shou smiled, beckoned Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu to come closer, and then whispered to them what the specific requirements were for the weaving and dyeing workshop they wanted to buy. Seeing them nod repeatedly, he gently patted their shoulders.
"Let's do this. Spread the word after you go back! By the way, don't forget about what happened at Tingyu Cottage." Seeing Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, who had just been so happy, hesitated, Zhang Shou said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. Yesterday, when I told the emperor that I was boring, he laughed at me for singing to the sky while the beauty was dancing."
"Yingying also secretly read the Peach Blossom Fan Summary written by Twelve Rain, which she got from Tingyu Cottage." Zhang Shou would never say that the Queen Mother didn't know what the comic book in Zhu Ying's hand was. Seeing the two brothers looking at each other and breathing a sigh of relief, he added, "If you are worried about gossip, I will ask Lu Sanlang and Weinan Bo to tell them to invite Twelve Rain to come out."
As he spoke, he added with a smile: "Of course, I will let Yingying tell Princess Deyang and Princess Xinyang about this matter, so that they won't think that you are going there for pleasure."
After hearing this, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu finally felt relieved. When the three of them left the blacksmith shop, Zhang Shou saw Ah Liu sitting cross-legged with a piece of grass in his mouth, looking bored, just like an ordinary young servant. He couldn't tell that the emperor had paid a higher salary than him, a doctor of the Imperial College. He couldn't help but feel a little weird.
Even if the emperor said that the 100 strings of cash a month was compensation for him, he would rather believe that the emperor felt that Ah Liu deserved that high salary.
After being absent-minded for a moment, he asked, "Ah Liu, have the guards sent by Duke Zhao's Mansion arrived now? Are they at the Xiao family?"
Ah Liu nodded very simply and directly, and then asked, "Do you want to transfer two people over here?"
"Hmm." This time, it was Zhang Shou who hummed vaguely. Seeing Ah Liu jump off the cart without saying anything and quickly go to the next room, Zhang Shou waved to Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu. After entering the yard, he saw two guards who looked quite capable coming out to salute, and then went to the next room without saying anything. Xiao Cheng in the main room ran towards him, and he smiled and nodded at them.
