Chapter 69 Got the first business
Because they all wanted something from Chen Feiyan's family, all the villagers in Chenjia Village were particularly fawning over their family from that day on.

At this moment, Yu Sucen couldn't help it anymore.

He kept hinting to Yamen Zhao next to him, asking him to open his mouth and help, help with bridges and wires.

Zhao Yamen understood his hint and immediately told the village chief Chen Qiliang on the side.

"Old Chen, this is a great thing for your village! If everyone in your village has such a good textile machine, every household can earn an extra two taels of silver every year."

"If your village becomes rich, don't forget the folks in the countryside!"

When Chen Qiliang and several other clan elders heard this, their expressions changed greatly, and they mistakenly thought that they were preparing to extort money.

Thinking that the people in their village were not yet rich and had not made any money yet, and these people were about to rip them off, they felt that as long as their village had looms, they could earn an extra two taels of silver every year. Chen Yixing is really too stupid.

You say it's all right, but he wants to say it in front of these outsiders, why can he earn two taels of silver every year?
Isn't this just trying to attract attention for no reason? !
You haven't even started making money yet, so it would be weird if you just say you want to get rich and others don't try to rip you off.

As soon as the village chief Chen Qiliang thought of this, he gave Chen Yixing a fierce look.

When Chen Yixing saw it, he immediately looked shocked and felt inexplicable.

I wonder if the village chief in front of me is getting older, so there is something wrong with his eyes?

Therefore, Chen Yixing asked with special concern: "Village Chief, did you not sleep well last night? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere in your body and have facial paralysis? Your eyes are as wide as bells. Don’t you want to see the doctor?”

Chen Yixing said this out of genuine good intentions.I didn't mean to ridicule the other party.

But when these words reached Chen Qiliang's ears, everything changed completely.

Chen Qiliang thought to himself that brother Chen Yixuan was indeed not a kind person.

More than ten years ago, he was able to secretly sell his family's mountainous fields and some large brick and tile houses behind the back of his half-brother and stepmother.

Today, he can swear in front of so many outsiders that a loom can earn two taels of silver per year.

If their Chenjia Village didn't spend two taels of silver to ask their family to make a loom, if such news spread outside the village, the people outside the village would definitely think that they would be bastards if they didn't take advantage. One by one, they came to their house with two taels of silver and asked them to help.

After their family has lost everything they can, and all the money passed down from their ancestors has been lost, the people in Chenjia Village will not be able to take advantage if they try to take advantage.

After weighing many considerations, Chen Qiliang suddenly grabbed a few clan elders around him who were about the same age and whispered a few words in their ears.

Soon, they all nodded in unison and reached a unanimous opinion.

Chen Qiliang even reached an agreement directly with Chen Yixuan in front of two government officials, Yu Sucen and Zhao Wu.

"Shuanzi, our families will send people over to give you two taels of silver later. Your family will make arrangements and preparations to prepare all the looms that our eight families need. When the time comes, we will Just come and get it.”

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she immediately asked in surprise: "You all want it?"

"I told you that the looms we make are actually half the size of those made elsewhere. That's why the cost is so much cheaper..."

"Besides, just now my eldest uncle said he could earn two taels of silver a year. My husband and I have no way to guarantee this."

When the village chief Chen Qiliang heard these words, he said a little impatiently. "Okay, you don't need a woman to tell us these things. From now on, when we old men talk, you, a woman, shouldn't interrupt."

Chen Feiyan listened and shook her head with a smile.

"Village Chief, I'm afraid I can't agree to this."

"Once you actually book a loom with us, there will be many times when you want to ask me for advice!"

"I have made some changes to this loom. This loom not only requires the use of hands, but also the use of feet. These feet cannot be small, and cannot be three-inch golden lotus. Otherwise, time will If it grows long, it will make you lose strength."

Chen Qiliang said impatiently: "Okay, okay, just stop talking. If I say one thing, you can say eight!"

After hearing this, Yu Sucen immediately showed an expression of appreciation.Helped to smooth things over.

"Village Chief Chen, having such talents in your village means that your village is prosperous!"

"What Lao Zhao said just now is quite right. If every household in your village has a loom, life in the future will definitely be better than now."

"While walking along the way, I discovered that some villagers in your village are really living in poverty. They have no clothes to wear and no food to eat. The children are also sloppy and no one seems to care about them. I have been there before. Zhang family. The children of the old Zhang family are much more particular than those in your village..."

When Chen Qiliang heard the young man in front of him say such words, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

He thought to himself, what qualifications did their village have to compare with the old Zhang family?

The vast majority of people in their village do not have their own fields.They are all tenant farmers of big landowners.

These days, sharecroppers are only slightly better than those homeless people who have no land, no houses, and no land. How can they live a good life?
The village chief Chen Qiliang realized a long time ago that the girls born and raised in his village could also be used as a labor force.

However, the vast majority of the poor households in the village, in order to climb high and have their daughters marry well, had their feet bound when they were only a few years old.

However, if this girl wants to marry into a truly wealthy family, it will not be as simple as relying on a pair of three-inch golden lotus flowers.

My daughter must be beautiful!
The skin must be fair, the facial features should be beautiful, delicate and soft, you must also be able to read and write, know how to do things, be talented, and finally be matched with a pair of small three-inch golden lotus wrapped in it, then you can truly cling to the powerful A rich and powerful family.

Just when Chen Qiliang was thinking about these messy things, Yu Sucen took the initiative to talk to Chen Feiyan.

"This... madam, can I order a loom like this from you? I will pay you now."

After saying that, he took out two taels of silver from his pocket.

When Chen Feiyan saw that he was serious, she asked in surprise: "Didn't you recognize the difference between my loom and the looms outside?"

"My loom may not be able to weave those complicated patterns..."

Yu Sucen shook his head and said: "These are all fine, I actually don't care much."

"Now I just want to present such a loom to the county magistrate."
