"Then let the young master give me a kiss."
As Chu Feng said this, he thought of his relatives' little cherry-red mouth. But Shuang'er pushed him away and said softly: "Master, it's getting late, and Madam is still at home waiting for news. This is the last time, otherwise I will definitely tell Master!"
"Hehe, okay. However, you have to let the young master kiss you. The young master has apologized to you." Chu Feng smirked, once again reached out and hugged Shuang'er who was trying to escape, and then kissed the cherry red little girl fiercely. On her lips, Shuang'er just whined twice, then resignedly closed her beautiful eyes...
In the past two days, Wu Junxian, the Minister of Household Affairs, was very proud of himself. He looked at several colleagues with envious and jealous expressions, not to mention how happy he was.
He said in his heart: "With more than a hundred gold beads, this little waterwheel I bought is so worth it! No, everyone is envious of it."
The small water cart is mounted on a large basin, and the water can be transferred to another wooden basin by manually turning the water. This magical operation made several colleagues in the Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Works envious.
They are all smart people. Of course they can understand the benefits that this kind of waterwheel brings to the people. So the person who created this kind of waterwheel has great merit!
"Mr. Wu, you have created this waterwheel. You are so meritorious that it will be famous throughout the ages!" A household manager loudly praised his immediate superior.
"Haha, I don't dare, I don't dare. Wu just wants to do his best for the people of Daliang." Wu Junxian said modestly, but he was already happy in his heart.
"Sir Wu, this kind of mechanical waterwheel should actually be studied by our Ministry of Industry. I didn't expect that Mr. Wu took the lead. I am really ashamed!"
Gongsun Tie, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said with envy on his face. If there weren't others around him, he really wanted to take apart this little waterwheel and study it carefully!
Soon, the story of Wu Junxian's creation of a magical waterwheel spread among officials in Daliang. Even the old minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't sit still.
I cursed in my heart: "Wu, you are a minister of household affairs, if you don't manage your food and money well, what new things can you do! If this is really like Gongsun Tie said, that kind of car can really turn dry fields into paddy fields, then What should Your Majesty think of our Ministry of Industry? Where can I put my old face? But why don’t I believe that Wu Junxian has this ability? How about sending someone to investigate carefully? "
As a result, the informants of many noble people in the capital began to get busy. In the end, Chu Feng was targeted by some interested people.
"Master, I have found out. A few days ago, Wu Shilang took the housekeeper incognito to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He came out with a smile on his face..."
"Ah, it really has something to do with this little brat. This little brat could come up with the idea of nailing iron claws on the horses' hooves, and he must have invented the novel waterwheel. However, with such great merit, why would he take advantage of Wu's surname? Yes, it seems that the man surnamed Wu even joined forces with Duke Wei to frame him!"
"Master, is there a possibility that this little bastard actually takes a fancy to the power of the Minister of Household Affairs? To win over people for his father, the Marquis of Zhenbei, will also reduce the power of Duke Wei! Master, I feel that this little The bastard is very insidious. Don’t underestimate him!”
"When you say that, I really feel that this little brat is extraordinary! This kid is not only sinister, but also has great talents. In the past, he pretended to be a playboy, which made me completely underestimate him. Now he has become a blockbuster, and not only defeated Ning The prince even made Meng Dacai vomit blood with anger. He even got his majesty's favor. His majesty's favorite daughter did not agree to terminate the engagement! You must know that your majesty has no son! Is this little brat aiming for that position? Going? No, I will have a relationship with that little brat no matter what! Come here, prepare a carriage and go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion! "
Just like that, the old minister of the Ministry of Industry came to visit in person.
This time, Mrs. Chu almost received the reception in person, but she was stopped by Su Yi: "Miss, it's time for that brat to take charge of his own business. Don't do everything by yourself. I heard from Shuang'er that the brat is always giving rewards when he's out there. Gold beads! Let’s go, it’s been a long time since I went out on the street. It’s time for you to add some nice jewelry, and the materials you wear are already out of date. Anyway, that brat has money, if we don’t spend it, it will be in vain!”
So, Mrs. Chu took Su Yi and Shuang'er and went shopping. As for Yue'er and Xue'er, they followed Chu Feng and received Gongsun Ban, the old minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is also the uncle of Gongsun Tie, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
The Gongsun family is a long-standing family that has existed for thousands of years. They are very outstanding in carpentry, iron forging, and building repairs! So he almost controlled the entire Ministry of Industry of Daliang!
This time, Ling'er took the initiative to bring the tea. Gongsun Ban was still highly respected in Daliang Kingdom, and he had never dealt with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
"Haha, old Shangshu, what kind of wind brings you here today?"
Chu Feng asked with a smile, as if he was confused. But he said with a smile in his heart: "It seems that Wu Shilang's show off has worked, and he actually helped me catch such a big fish!"
"You brat, you really pretend to be confused because you understand. Your dad doesn't even dare to fight with me, and you still expect me to make you many weapons to kill enemies! Boy, you must know my purpose."
Gongsun Ban, this old fox, wanted to get the upper hand, but he didn't expect who Chu Feng was? How can someone who even dared to fool Li Er be afraid of an old man?
"Haha, old man, you are very angry. However, I really don't know your purpose."
Chu Feng was still smiling. A big fat sheep actually wants to dress up as a tiger. Can you do that? Unless you are Li Er, or my father, then you are the one being unreasonable to me! You old man is not qualified enough.
"Boy, I won't beat around the bush. Did you build that waterwheel? It has nothing to do with Wu Junxian."
The old minister finally spoke out. His eyes, which were still a little cloudy at first, became sharp in an instant, staring into Chu Feng's eyes.
"Haha, this waterwheel was made by Wu Shilang, who gave me a lot of money. It is still his property. In other words, if Wu Shilang paid me to hire me to create, the finished product must be his. From Mr. Wu."
Chu Feng said loudly with a smile.
I asked the old minister to think about it, but he didn’t know how to speak! After a while of silence, he spoke again: "Xiao Chu, if I also hire you to create, can you create a novel farm tool like a waterwheel to benefit the people?"
"Haha, of course it will work!" Chu Feng said easily with a smile.
In an instant, the old minister became excited, reached out and grabbed Chu Feng's hand, and said excitedly: "Then I want to make one, tell me, how much wages do you need?"
"Haha, it depends on the requirements of the old minister. For example, within a short period of time, or it may be more complicated than the waterwheel. The people need it more! The higher the requirements, the higher the wages will be."
Chu Feng said with a chuckle.
"For a short period of time, it's more complicated than that waterwheel. Just tell me a price and I'll have someone deliver the money later." The old minister is not so shrewd now, and his mind is full of meritorious deeds and reputations that will last forever!
It’s time for the Gongsun family to produce another saint! Just let me do it! Hehe, Gongsun Tie, my good nephew, you will never catch up with your uncle. Your uncle will be the pride of the Gongsun family!
"The conditions are not many, two thousand gold cakes, or two hundred gold beads."
Chu Feng said easily.
In an instant, the old minister withdrew his hand, slapped the table and said loudly: "Robbing it, not by force! When your father sees me, he will..."
"Old Minister, don't be excited. The price is really not expensive. This is because my father respects you. If it were anyone else, it would be at least three to five hundred gold beads! Moreover, this novel tool of yours can also be compared with Wu Shilang's. Waterwheel, let's officially install it together! When the time comes, the boy will send you a message, just come and witness it. On that day, the boy announced your great creation, so that the people will always remember your merits! A person lives forever, and the grass and trees fall, Lao Shangshu Your merits and reputation will last forever! Do you think it’s worth it?”
After listening to Chu Feng's words, the old man finally stopped being excited, and then he slammed the table and said loudly: "Deal! In the afternoon, I will have the golden beads delivered! However, you must do what you say! Definitely!" I want to install it together with that guy Wu Junxian’s waterwheel!”
