I do research in ancient times

"Then how will Xue Yinian recognize it?"

Ning Fei rested his cheek with one hand, frowning tightly.

"It's not like their Xue family's style..."

Feng Kai took a sip of tea and nodded.

"What brother Fei said is very true. This is indeed not the way the Xue family behaves."

"Later Xue Yipian wrote a letter of love to King Xihe, but the content was spread to the world, obviously for the King of Dongshan."

"In the letter, Xue Yijian first complained about his sufferings, saying that Xue Yan and Xue Yixiao were overlord at home, and he could not participate in anything in the workshop, and he didn't know what kind of business Xue Yixiao had done with our family."

"But about Mo Dao, Xue Yijian insisted on not admitting it."

Feng Kai laughed.

"Instead, Xue Yiluan was sued in the letter."

"What Xue Yijian said is not unreasonable. Hengshou's mines and craftsmen are inferior to Changzhou. In Longquan Jianfang of Changzhou, the secret blueprints of the previous generations are still preserved. These treasures were held in Xue Yiluan's hands on the night of Xue Bi's death. , have not taken it out yet.”

"The craftsmen that Xue Yan brought to Hengshou all have names and surnames, and Changzhou Zongfang knows their level and ability. There is no way to make a weapon like the Modao. What's more, Xue Yiluan had a relationship with a girl from He Yue's family when Xue Bi was alive. Now the He Yue family has come forward to accuse Xue Yijian of being a thief calling for a thief."

"Huh? This is a family scandal!"

Ning Sawzi said in surprise.

In order to hate Xue Yiluan, Xue Yinian not only directly exposed the scandal that Xue Bi was eager to seize power right after his death, but also exposed the affair between Xue Bi and other young ladies.

Yoyo, it turns out that the aristocratic family is shameless even when they tear it up, they dare to release any explosive material!

"Well, that's true. This time, Xue Yibiao was tricked too hard."

Feng Kai smiled and nodded.

"Xue Yiluan throws everything on other people's heads and wants to be alone, how is it possible?"

"He Yue's family is an important minister who supports Dongshan King's ascension to the throne. This time, the He Yue family also has a daughter who has been named a virtuous concubine. She is one step away from the throne of the queen."

"Now that Xue Yijian has revealed Xue Yiluan's affair, it's not clear whether it's true or not, but Xue Yiluan's eye medicine is enough. After all, Xue in Changzhou has voted for the King of Xihe, and he has never been close to He Yue's family, so it is easy to cause trouble. His master's suspicions."

Ning Sawzi listened with gusto, and from time to time he poured tea to brother Mu Ye graciously.

Being outside the Great Wall, he has no information, and he loves to listen to the gossip between these aristocratic families and the royal family, and he can taste a lot of interesting things from it.

For example, real name sympathy for King Dongshan.

Although she married three concubines, one had an affair with Xue Yiluan, one had been returned by Brother Mu Ye, and the other had weeds growing on the emperor's head, it was really miserable.

But he wouldn't tell Brother Mu Ye these words, presumably Brother Mu Ye himself didn't want to have any scandals with Miss Xue's family, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided seeing her at the beginning.

"Brother Muye, actually, I think what Xue Yijian said is quite reasonable."

The instigator and behind-the-scenes man smashed his mouth.

"To tell you the truth, neither Hengshou nor Changzhou can produce real steel. At most, they can produce pig iron that is close to the edge of steel carbon, and it mainly depends on the quality of iron ore."

"The quality of Hengshou Mine is said to be inferior to that of Changzhou Mine, so even if the same production method is used, the products produced by Hengshoufang are still much worse than those produced by Zongfang."

"On the premise that the process equipment cannot be improved, the quality of raw materials is very important."

Feng Kai smiled and nodded.

In fact, he can't fully understand some of the words in Ning Juzi's words, but he likes to see the other party talking freely and in high spirits.

Like a green pine full of vitality, it can grow vigorously even in the face of cold wind.

Speaking of this, Ning Fei paused.

"Then Xue Yibian said that, do both King Xihe and King Dongshan believe it?"

Feng Kai shook his head.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anyway, it's just an excuse to snatch the workshop. No one will care if Xue Yibiao says it."

"Reasoning with others can only happen when the status of each other is equal. Would you reason with an ant?"

Hearing what he said, Ning Fei was silent.

Of course he won't, which is why he feels sad.

If Mo Zong hadn't been living outside the Great Wall, and if he hadn't had the Feng family as a reliable partner by visual inspection, then the Hengshou Xue family might be his precedent.

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

Feng Kai took a sip of tea, pointed at his cotton jacket, and asked Ning Fei with a light smile.

"Feidi, your cloth is so finely woven and soft, it's very comfortable to wear."

When talking about cotton, Ning saw his temper again, and with a smile, Brother Muye praised the benefits of cotton clothes.

In fact, it goes without saying that the touch of cotton can be felt by everyone.Especially when making close-fitting clothing, it is much more comfortable than silk and linen.

"Is this cloth very profitable?"

Feng Kai looked at Ning Zazi whose eyes were shining with the light of money, and asked with a smile.

Ning Fei nodded.

"Of course it's very profitable."

"However, due to the scarcity of materials, the planting area still needs to be expanded, and the real promotion will have to wait until the end of the year."

"so."

Feng Kai nodded.

"When I came, I was very happy to see Brother Fei leaning over the desk to settle accounts again, but I was counting the surplus of cotton cloth?"

Ha, it was seen.

Ning Zazi was a little shy.

"Is it that obvious?"

He used to be obviously not a person who loved money.

He's not even interested in money, he loves science.

Feng Kai didn't answer, but a low laugh was already the best answer.

He is a shrewd person, it is impossible to make his non-brother feel any discomfort when getting along, so he naturally leads the topic elsewhere.

"Since you're making money, if you have a chance, please take care of my Yongxiguan soldiers and people."

"The frontier fortress is bitterly cold, and Hu Qi has been invading the frontier for years. Life is already a hundred times more difficult than in the Central Plains. Feidi released tofu and heated kangs before, which has found a new livelihood for many people. Few households froze to death in the city this winter. Not to mention Mo Dao's contribution, I thank Ning Juzi for his kindness on behalf of the Feng family and the frontier army."

As he said that, Young Master Feng suddenly stood up and saluted Ning Fei.

Ning Fei was stunned.

When he released the tofu recipe, he did have the idea of ​​improving people's livelihood, but he did not expect that Feng Kai, who is the military commander, would pay attention to the lives of the common people.

He always thought that a high-ranking son like Brother Mu Ye was like a child like Brother Feng who didn't know the sufferings of the world, and shouted "why not eat minced meat".

The same father and the same mother are different.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising at all.

Xiaodi Feng is the youngest son, a teenager in the second year of middle school, so it was normal to be spoiled and spoiled at first.But his father, Feng Daduhu, is a very down-to-earth person. Ning Fei came into contact with him a few times and felt that Feng Bosheng had a forthright temperament, rough but subtle, but he didn't put on airs very much.

At least Ning Fei didn't put on airs to him, Feng Daduhu himself was a bit rough, and he didn't pay much attention to red tape, otherwise he wouldn't have sent his youngest son to the countryside to be a piggie.

Speaking of which, although Xiaodi Feng was a bit of a middle school student before, he has now become an obedient and good-natured boy. What's even more rare is that this child still retains a pure heart, and he is devoted to the friends he recognizes. It can be seen that the Feng family There is nothing wrong with Ziren's family style and education.

Such a partner should be at ease.

After thinking about it, Ning Fei suddenly sat upright, his expression becoming solemn.

"Young Master Feng."

He suddenly changed his address, which made the eyes of the man sitting across from him flicker, and the smile on his lips disappeared instantly.

Ning Fei paused for a moment, then pointed to the cotton clothes on her body.

"Do you know where my cotton cloth came from?"

Feng Kai replied.

"Is it made by a loom? Brother Fei's cloth is so soft and dense, it must have taken a lot of work."

This conclusion is rather noncommittal.

He took a birch-bark book from the bookshelf of the kangtai and placed it in front of Feng Kai.

"So far, I, Mozong, have only bought a batch of cloth, a total of 230 pieces, which was bought by Channing Peng's steward at a price of 300 gold."

"Of course, this time I met someone who was taken advantage of. I may not be able to earn so much in the future, but it is absolutely no problem to double or triple it."

Feng Kai flipped through the account book, and the next moment, the calm man with thousands of troops couldn't help but twitch his brows.

Seeing this scene, Ning Juzi smiled.

"Today's cloth workshop pays the salary, Mr. Feng, would you like to take a look with me?"

Feng Kai nodded and closed the ledger.

"Of course I would."

He stood up with a very serious expression on his face.

"Also ask Brother Fei to lead the way."

It wasn't Ning Fei's whim to take Feng Kai to visit the cloth workshop.

The most direct source of recruitment for cloth workshops in the future is Ding'an City in Yongxi Pass.

The weaving workshop needs female workers, if you don't greet the owner of Ding'an City in advance, it will be troublesome if a Taoist guard jumps out and scolds Mo Zong for having bad intentions and abducting women.

And taking this opportunity, he also wanted to show brother Muye the power of professional women.

The folk customs in the border town are tough, and they don't talk about women's morals. The harsh living environment is more likely to promote the liberation of female labor force, and more labor force will be put into production, which will also inject new vitality into Ancheng, just like the springing up. Didn't the tofu workshop also drive a market's business? !

At this point, Mo Zong and the Feng family can achieve a win-win situation.

In the past, the sect had no money, and the hard work earned by everyone was not enough to buy food and daily necessities, and there was no money left to share with everyone.

This year the sect has added a lot of income, so Ning Fei collected the accounts and paid everyone according to the workload of each group.

Of course, there will also be cash flow within the sect in the future, such as paying for meals in the new restaurant, and converting daily necessities, rice, oil and salt into money.Jiuling Lake is positioned as a city, and it will not only be confined to Mozong's interior, but also absorb a large number of outsiders. Some rules must be determined first.

The account of the weaving workshop was done very early, Ning Fei asked Aunt Mei to exchange part of the gold for silver and rice, and handed it all over to Pinghua in the morning, which was another assessment for her.

So at the end of the shift this afternoon, Pinghua did not dismiss the crowd immediately, but summoned all the weavers in the cloth workshop to come to the cloth workshop, and then pushed a big wooden board out.

The spirits of all the female workers were shocked, and the audience fell silent for an instant.

Everyone knows that piece of wood. It is what Pinghua and Granny Qiu used to record the amount of cloth weaved by everyone. The data will be updated at the end of each shift, and people in the weaving workshop can see the results of their work in real time.

However, the board was changed once, which was the time when Juzi took away all the cloth deposits.After that, the carpentry workshop sent a new piece, and the calculation of the grades began again.

Those woven cloths are said to be sold by Aunt Mei to Ding'an City.Jizi had something to say before, saying that after the cost of cotton yarn and necessary expenses were removed from the sale, part of the proceeds would be given to these weavers.

Now Pinghua pulled out this old board again, this is to...

They didn't dare to think about it yet, but Miss Pinghua dared to say it.

She shook the key in her hand, her voice was exceptionally clear.

"My aunts and sisters, Juzi gave us money today!"
