When Yu Ruhai heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yu Wen in surprise.
"What did you say? Are you telling the truth?"
Yu Wen took a step forward, kneeled on the ground respectfully and said.
"Prefect, I have found a solution to the drought!"
Yu Ruhai was so excited that he stood up, walked to Yu Wen, and helped Yu Wen up.
"Oh, if you think about it carefully, you are still my distant nephew, so you don't need to give me such a big gift!"
"You said you have found a solution to the drought. What exactly is this solution?"
Yu Wen smiled slightly and said what he had thought about on the road.
"Master Prefect, when I saw a river on the road, I suddenly had an inspiration!"
"At that time, there was a stick lying across the river. I thought if I could add a wheel to the stick and use the flow of the water itself to send the water to high places, wouldn't it be possible to send the water to the fields?"
"So I specially made a thing called a water wheel. After trying it, I found that it really works!"
"Sir, please look, this is the drawing of the waterwheel!"
Yu Wen said this and took out the drawing drawn by Zhao Feng.
Yu Ruhai looked at the waterwheel pattern on the drawing, his face filled with confusion.
"Master, please don't lie to me!"
"Just put a wheel on the river and it can be used to water the ground?"
Yu Wen nodded enthusiastically.
"Master Prefect, this is absolutely true. If Master Prefect doesn't believe it, you can order someone to make it now. I guarantee that this waterwheel will be absolutely effective!"
Of course Yu Wen can guarantee it. After all, he had already discovered the benefits of the waterwheel when he saw it in Chenjiazhuang.
The crops in other places are almost withered, but only the crops in Chenjiazhuang are still green and green. Not only are they growing well, but they also seem to be able to increase production!
When the prefect Yu Ruhai heard this, he nodded very happily and quickly asked people to make arrangements.
Although he doesn't understand the principle of this waterwheel, and he can't understand the drawing, as long as this thing works!
Yu Ruhai looked at Yu Wen's expectant eyes and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, if this waterwheel is really useful and can solve the drought in the entire mansion, I will definitely come to the court!"
"Maybe you will be given the position of county magistrate by then!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wen nodded in surprise.
Although he is just a county magistrate, he has entered the bureaucracy. When the time comes, he can climb up step by step!
Yu Wen thought this in his mind, and then he couldn't help but sigh. He thought that he had studied hard for so many years in Hanchuang, but in the end, the road to the imperial examination was impossible, and he even went to high school several times.
As a result, he could only serve as a master to a prefect of the same clan!
If you can also be a county magistrate, then the one hundred taels of silver spent is really worth it!
As the saying goes, if you clear the county in three years, you will get one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver!
Yu Wen was dreaming about becoming an official and getting rich, and he couldn't help but thank Zhao Feng in his heart. If he hadn't been short-sighted and gave this drawing to him, then Zhao Feng would probably be the county magistrate!
Zhao Feng, on the other hand, sneezed hard several times, which made Shen Chuchu next to him look at him with concern.
"What's wrong with Mr. Zhao? Did he catch a cold these days?"
Zhao Feng rubbed his nose, then waved his hand and said.
"It's okay, let's go see your dad!"
When Shen Chuchu heard this, she looked at Zhao Feng's clothes and Zhao Feng's slightly damaged shoes, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
When he arrived at Shen's house, Shen Baochuan was sitting in the main hall. When he saw Shen Chuchu and Zhao Feng coming, Shen Baochuan's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Zhao, your improved dyeing technology is really great!"
"We are looking for the alkali ore and limestone you mentioned. As long as we have these two things, we will be able to produce fabrics with beautiful colors in large quantities!"
As Shen Baochuan said this, he asked the butler to bring tea to Zhao Feng, then put it on the table for Zhao Feng, and then said to Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Mr. Zhao, I have decided to hand over 30% of the profits from our Shen family fabrics to Mr. Zhao. Please don't shirk it!"
After hearing Shen Baochuan's words, Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile.
"Since you said so, I have no choice but to accept it."
"When I came to help you, I actually wanted to find a business for myself. Rather than helping you, it's better to say that I'm using my technology to invest in it!"
Shen Baochuan was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed.
"Okay, okay, then from now on, we will be considered business partners!"
Zhao Feng nodded slightly. He did not believe in eternal friends. Only eternal lock-in of interests was the prerequisite for mutual help and trust.
"Since we are now considered partners, Manager Shen, I have a few suggestions that I don't know whether to take seriously or not."
Shen Baochuan nodded quickly and then sat opposite Zhao Feng, deliberately not sitting in the main seat to give Zhao Feng face.
"Mr. Zhao, just say it's okay!"
Zhao Feng thought for a moment and then asked Shen Baochuan.
"I wonder what route Manager Shen wants to take?"
"As I said before, the Shen family's fabrics, whether they are exclusively for the upper-class market or the lower-class market, can achieve unprecedented profits!"
After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Shen Baochuan hesitated slightly, and then asked tentatively.
"Can't you just eat them all?"
Zhao Feng looked at Shen Baochuan and then smiled.
"Of course you can, but this will make you an enemy of all fabric merchants! Does the Shen family really have such courage?"
Shen Baochuan laughed twice, and then said to Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao, we are now enemies of all fabric merchants!"
Zhao Feng nodded clearly and said to Shen Baochuan.
"In that case, here are some suggestions."
"First of all, for the lower class market, those who buy fabrics are mostly ordinary people and people with a little financial strength."
"For these people, the fabrics they want are low-priced. If the quality can be slightly better while keeping the price low, then they will be very willing to buy it!"
"As for the upper-class market, that is, those dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, the fabrics they want are very exquisite, and the quality is secondary, as long as they can barely pass the test."
"At the same time, the price cannot be too low. We must build Shen's fabrics into a brand, so that others will give thumbs up when talking about Shen's fabrics, and even be proud to wear clothes made of Shen's fabrics! "
