Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 107 Inexplicably regretting the marriage!
Guo An looked at the group of enthusiastic villagers in front of him, and said helplessly: "Everyone, there are only 110 households in one mile, but now there are 25 or even 35 households. machine.

Moreover, they are all poor households who have no money to buy and need to wait for the cotton in the field to be woven into cotton cloth to pay.

You may have imagined that besides these poor households, there are also a large number of wealthy households who directly use money to buy textile machines at textile shops.

As a result, half of the people in your respective villages have bought textile machines.

In this way, the textile machine will not be as profitable as we said!

I don't know if you have thought about these things. Under such circumstances, do the people in each village buy it only after a hothead?
You know, a set of textile machines will cost 250 five cents, which is not a small sum even for the villagers! "

"This……"

Hearing this, the faces of all the villagers couldn't help thinking.

More than 250 Wen is definitely not a small amount. If it is really as Guo Changshi said, it is not very profitable. Wouldn’t it be tasteless to put so many wooden shelves at home?

Guo An continued: "It is precisely because we are worried that this will happen that we want all the elders of the village to be witnesses, and if necessary, we can persuade the people in the village to explain this clearly to them.

All the common people should not blindly think that as long as they buy a textile machine, they can make a lot of money and make a lot of money just because of what I said! "

"Thank you Guo Changshi for explaining this matter clearly!"

"Guo Changshi, Gao Yi, without Guo Changshi, Caomin and the others almost made a big mistake!"

After thinking about it clearly, all the elders in the village couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and looked at Guo An with gratitude.

"However, if the family has a lot of fields and conditions permit, we also suggest that the common people buy a set of textile machines." Guo An changed his mind and said again.

"kindness?"

All the elders of the village froze in place, a little dazed.

"Old folks, the people of Wanping County have reclaimed [-] hectares of land a few months ago. Next year, your family will plant another half acre of cotton!"

Guo An explained with a chuckle, "With the weaving machine, as long as the half acre of cotton can be harvested, you will not lose money buying the weaving machine."

"What Guo Changshi said is right!"

The smiles on the faces of all the village elders resumed again, and hope shone in their turbid eyes.

Those [-] hectares of bare land, even growing a crop of weeds and vegetables, are the reason why ordinary people like them dare to buy textile machines.

"Okay, the Japanese government will order the Gongzheng Institute to manufacture textile machines for you as soon as possible in the past few days, as for the purchase contract and the sale contract, I have also prepared adequately for you.

Everyone go back first and explain the situation clearly to the people in each village, so as to avoid any accidents in the future, neighbors complain to each other, and affect the feelings of your neighbors. "

Seeing that these villagers understood what he meant, Guo An began to prepare to see off the guests.

At this time, Zhu Di's face had already turned into coal balls, and Guo An didn't want to be bullied by Zhu Di in front of so many villagers.

"Please rest assured Guo Changshi, Cao Min and others will definitely explain the pros and cons to the people in the village!"

"Thank you Guo Changshi for speaking out, Cao Min and others are leaving!"

"Report to His Royal Highness King Yan, the grassroots retire!"

……

Zhu Di couldn't bear it any longer after seeing off all the village elders with kindness.

"Everyone in my hometown personally visits to buy a textile machine, why do you still block it like this?"

"His Royal Highness, I have to stop this matter!"

Guo An said helplessly: "250 five cents may not be as good as a meal for your Highness, and for those common people, they may not be able to save so much money in a year, so I naturally have to let them seriously consider it.

And those village elders are also our own people, I can't help but cheat them! "

"My own?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then shook Guo An's shoulder.

"Just say to yourself, if you lose some money, just lose some money!"

"Your Highness, how can you lose?"

Guo An's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "The money earned by the textile machine is still a small part of the minister, so we must not lose money!"

Zhu Di said angrily: "You black-hearted thing, you have already chased away all the money that came to your door. What do you want to do if you don't lose money? Could it be that you want to take our money?"

Only then did Guo An understand what Zhu Di meant, and he gave Zhu Di a strange look, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the people who should buy will never stop buying just because of Wei Chen's words."

"You mean there will still be so many people who want to buy textile machines?" Zhu Di asked doubtfully.

Guo An looked confident: "Don't worry, Your Highness, there are only a few more!"

Zhu Di said, "Why?"

Guo An looked at Zhu Di speechlessly, "Your Highness, only Wanping County has so many people who come to buy textile machines, so Daxing County next door will naturally not pull them down.

Moreover, there are five counties and four states in the surrounding area! "

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Can the artisans of Gongzheng Institute do it?"

Guo An said: "His Royal Highness, if we have to take out so many looms at once, the Gongzheng Institute will not be enough!"

Zhu Di said: "Then recruit artisans!"

Guo An said helplessly: "His Royal Highness, it is the season of cotton picking. After the cotton is picked, it will be the autumn harvest time. We cannot delay the autumn harvest!"

"Damn it..."

Zhu Di looked helpless.

Then, he asked Guo An, "What can you do?"

Guo An thought for a moment, "His Royal Highness, in fact, the slow sales can catch up. At present, there are still [-] craftsmen in Gongzheng Institute, who can produce [-] sets of looms every day..."

"One hundred sets?"

Before Guo An could finish speaking, Zhu Di's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.

Guo An nodded slightly, "Exactly, if it weren't for the lack of wood now, there would be more!"

Zhu Di asked again: "Are you sure it's a hundred sets?"

Guo An said: "How dare I deceive His Highness about this matter!"

Zhu Di still couldn't believe it, "How did they make it so fast?"

As he said that, Zhu Di's expression froze, and he said directly: "Come on, let's take a look!"

Guo An had no choice but to keep up.

And Zhu Fu, Xia Si and the others also followed curiously.

Fortunately, the textile machine workshop courtyard was not very far from Yanwang Mansion, and soon, Zhu Di and Guo An entered a very lively house.

After entering, Zhu Di was surprised to find that the craftsmen in each room were only making one object repeatedly.

Since they have been making an object, these craftsmen are also very skilled in making it.

After just looking around, Zhu Di's expression became serious.

Naturally, he could see that these craftsmen were making different parts of the textile machine.

"Guo Qing, are you sure that the objects made by these carpenters can be packed?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the size of these objects is stuck, as long as the sizes made by these craftsmen are not deviated, they can definitely be assembled.

What's more, the combined textile machine and the elastic cotton machine are all the same size! "

Regarding Zhu Di's worries, Guo An is very confident.

"If your Highness is worried, you can go to the specially assembled backyard to have a look!"

"go!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di was overjoyed.

After Guo An came to the backyard of the workshop, Zhu Di saw that there were a dozen craftsmen in the backyard who were also using a very skillful method to assemble various wooden parts made by the craftsmen in the front yard.

Moreover, the assembly speed is very fast.

In just the blink of an eye, these craftsmen can assemble a cotton plucking machine, or a weaving machine, or a three-spindle spinning wheel.

"This kind of manufacturing speed of these craftsmen is really fast."

Zhu Di praised with bright eyes, and then asked curiously, "Who thought of this method, we must reward it heavily!"

Guo An quickly replied: "Your Highness, it is this humble minister."

"What is Guo Qing thinking?"

Zhu Di's face froze.

"It's Weichen!" Guo An looked at Zhu Di expectantly.

Zhu Di looked up and looked around, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Guo Qing is really a great talent!"

Seeing that Zhu Di wanted to renege on his debt, Guo An asked directly: "I wonder how much money Your Highness wants to reward this humble minister?"

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, "Aren't you [-]% of the money sold from the sale of these looms? It's not a matter of course for you to come up with such a quick way to manufacture looms to make money for yourself. What rewards do you have?"

Guo An wanted to defend himself, but unfortunately Zhu Di also knew Guo An's character very well, so he didn't give Guo An the chance to continue speaking.

"We still have military affairs to do, so I'll leave this place to Guo Qing!"

After speaking, Zhu Di lifted his legs and left.

"Isn't it just a little money, what about it?" Guo An looked depressed.

On the side, the mouth corners of Zhu Fu, Xia Si and the others twitched. When you Guo Changshi opened his mouth, how could it be just a little money?
Guo An sighed helplessly, turned around and clasped his hands to the clerks of the Chief History Department and said, "Everyone, I need to trouble you all for the sales contract of the textile machines purchased by the people in Wanping County!"

As for Zhu Fu, he was his superior, but Guo An didn't dare to appoint him.

"Guo Changshi, don't worry, Xiaguan and others will definitely write out [-] sales contracts as soon as possible!" A scribe quickly responded.

"No need to do that, just write out a deed of purchase, a deed of sale, and print out [-] copies!"

Guo Andao.

"print?"

All the scribes' eyes lit up, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Thank you Guo Changshi!"

……

Those village elders and elders also went back to their respective villages at this meeting, and they directly summoned the heads of households in their respective Jiali.

I repeated Guo An's words, but it was exactly as Guo An expected, except for a few timid households who were not prepared to buy textile machines.

All still insist on buying looms.

……

In the evening, Guo Ansan had just returned to Guo Mansion.

Then he saw an unexpected figure, Guo Lin, the old housekeeper of his hometown.

"The old servant has seen the young master!"

"Lin Bo, please get up!"

After helping Guo Lin up, Guo An asked, "Uncle Lin came to Beiping Mansion this time, but because of what happened last time?"

"Master..."

Hearing this, Guo Lin's complexion changed again and again, as if there was something unspeakable.

Guo An smiled casually, "It's okay for Uncle Lin to say something, but what happened?"

Guo Lin sighed angrily, "Don't be too angry, young master, I think young master is already a fifth-rank official in only a weak year.

The people in that family didn't know good and bad, and broke their promises. Although the young master entered the Yan Palace and became a subject of the Yan Palace, he was still a long history.

Moreover, the young master is still young, as long as he is appreciated by His Majesty, he still has a chance to become an official in the court, and they will regret it at that time..."

"..."

Guo An was a little confused!
Is he being married off?
However, it doesn't count if you think about it carefully. After all, he has never even met the other girl's face, and he doesn't even know her name.

"Master, Master?"

Seeing Guo An's expressionless face, Guo Lin was even more worried.

"Don't worry Lin Bo, we're fine!" Guo An said with a light smile.

"Don't worry, young master. The old master said that our old Guo family still doesn't like each other. After a few days, the old man will find a more virtuous young wife for the young master from among the officials and eunuchs in the north!"

Guo Lin comforted.

"So, which one is from the south?" Guo An asked curiously.

"How did the young master know?"

Guo Lin's face couldn't help but change.

"Lin Bo, can you tell me who it is?" Guo An asked again.

"This……"

Guo Lin looked puzzled, "Young master, don't ask any more questions. Both the master and wife have told the old servant not to tell the young master any information. We can't afford to offend that family!"

"In that case, I won't ask any more!"

Guo An nodded as if nothing had happened, and then said: "Lin Bo has been exhausted all the way, let's rest for a while, and let the back chef cook a sea fish for Lin Bo to try!"

"Thank you sir!"

Guo Lin quickly thanked him.

"You don't have to thank Lin Bo. From now on, our family has a lot of sea fish. You can eat as much as you want..."

Then, Guo An and Guo Lin chatted about the situation of the old parents who were still in Shunde Mansion.

After dinner, Guo An went into the study.

Seeing that Guo An did not respond to the regrettable marriage, Guo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little distressed.

Why doesn't my young master seem to be enlightened yet?
However, just being repented of the marriage, is Guo An really as calm as he appears on the surface?

No matter when, regretting a marriage is a great shame for a man.

Even though Guo An was already calm, he was still inexplicably upset!
It's just that the family in the south, and the old Guo family can't afford to provoke...

Overnight, dozens of families flashed through Guo An's mind, but he couldn't figure out which one it was!
However, the future is long!
Guo An didn't believe it, there is no impenetrable wall in the world!

The next day.

Guo Lin took two two-foot-long frozen sea fish, got into the carriage, and went back to Guo Village, Shunde Prefecture.

And Guo An acted as if nothing had happened, so he clicked on the value normally!
The influence brought by the textile shop is also gradually spreading in Beiping Prefecture.

Even if the people in Wanping County deliberately concealed it, there are still some foreign merchants who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make money.

Therefore, the people of Daxing County knew about it first.

Then came the people of the five counties and four prefectures under the Beiping Mansion.

However, what troubled the merchants was that both the people in Wanping County and Daxing County all ran to the textile shop under the Yanwang Mansion.

They didn't even look at the textile shop they opened at their doorstep!
Therefore, those merchants who have already opened several shops that can do weaving on behalf of others are also in a hurry!
