Hearing this, Mr. Xiang couldn't help but smile, but he still didn't know what Mr. Qin meant.
Good guy, when I was in the palace, the concubines in the third palace and the sixth courtyard were jealous.
How come after leaving the palace, there are still two strong men jealous of him?
It's really... weird.
"They are all good, they are all good, they are all good things that benefit the country and the people."
"I wonder, is your boss willing to promote these things?"
"Such a good thing can't just be given to you Huainan."
"Hey, distinguished guest, what are you talking about? Our boss is not a stingy person. Whether it's hybrid rice, red bricks or cement, we all want to promote it outside."
"It's just that it's just been made now, and it's only applicable in Jianghuai County."
"But my boss said that Feihong will be spread throughout Daqian in the future, so that the people of Daqian can enjoy such good things."
Hearing this, Mr. Xiang nodded and murmured: "Although it is a bit unrealistic, it is extremely rare to have such intention."
"Dear guest, here is my forging department. Why don't you go and have a look?" Sun Zhuang said in a loud voice from the side.
Sun Zhuang is an honest man and usually doesn't like to fight with others.
But after all, he has a group of disciples who have to eat, drink, eat, drink, and feed their families. Even if he doesn't fight for himself, he should fight for his disciples.
So he also wanted to win the business with the distinguished guest this time.
Mr. Xiang frowned slightly when he heard this.
The reason why he chose to look at the Department of Agriculture instead of the Blacksmithing Department just now was because he felt that blacksmithing was nothing more than making farm tools or swords, and the top ones were just armors.
Which of these things has he not seen before? What new ideas can be made?
Therefore, he is not very interested in the forging department.
It’s just that I have seen the first three, and it would be a bit unkind to refuse now, so I nodded and said: “Then let’s take a look.”
When Sun Zhuang heard this, he didn't say anything and just led the way.
Soon, the forging department came into view.
Unlike the Ministry of Agriculture and the Brick Kiln Department, most of the Forging Department operates indoors, but has very strict requirements for ventilation and air.
In the blacksmithing room, each blacksmith was shirtless and concentrated on forging the iron ore in front of him.
Everyone's brows are full of enthusiasm, as if the eyes are not iron blocks, but white silver.
And that's exactly what happened, ever since they made the full version of the bike. The monthly salary of workers in the forging department is almost the highest among the four departments.
That is to say, Sun Zhuang was humble, and the villagers really couldn't afford the blacksmith's job because they didn't have this skill. Otherwise, you will inevitably be jealous of others.
At this time, after Sun Zhuang came in, without saying a word, he led Mr. Xiang across the blacksmithing room and came to the door of the forging department warehouse.
After opening the door, he solemnly said to Mr. Xiang: "Dear guest, what you see in front of you is the latest achievement of our forging department in the past few months!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiang frowned and looked around, only to see two-wheeled vehicles one after another displayed in the warehouse.
"This... is a carriage?" Mr. Xiang frowned even more tightly. He really couldn't figure out what the strange thing in front of him was.
It was said to be a carriage, but there were no horses, and it only had two wheels. If a person sits on it, he may not even be able to stand firmly.
"Boss of the Qin family, I would like to trouble you to demonstrate to the distinguished guests how this bicycle is used."
The boss of the Qin family was a little unhappy when he heard this, fearing that Sun Zhuang would steal his limelight, but he still got on his bicycle and started riding.
As his feet exerted force, the bicycle gradually accelerated and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
After a long time, the boss of the Qin family returned.
At this time, Mr. Xiang's frown had already relaxed, and his eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty.
"This thing can be activated without horses?"
"Yes, this thing uses human power, so of course it doesn't require horses."
"Good baby, really good baby."
"Of course, distinguished guests can go to Huainan City and take a look. Bicycles made by our forging department can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys."
"If it weren't for bicycles, I'm afraid the restaurant wouldn't be able to offer takeout service and make money in the winter."
When Mr. Xiang looked impatient at first, Sun Zhuang obeyed and remained silent.
Now that Mr. Xiang was dumbfounded because of the bicycle, Sun Zhuangcai showed a proud look on his eyebrows.
You can say that the cloth from the Textile Department is comfortable and natural, you can say that the hybrid rice from the Ministry of Agriculture benefits the world, or you can say that the cement and red bricks from the Brick Kiln Department are good materials for building houses.
I recognize all of this, but you cannot deny the contribution of our forging department.
This bicycle is complicated to make, especially the spring steel used for the brakes. We didn't know how long it took us to explore it.
How can you be compared to others so easily?
"Good babies, they are all good babies!"
"No wonder the world says that the Feihong family has a great business. Now I understand clearly. With four departments like you, can Feihong's business not be big?"
Mr. Xiang's words touched their hearts, and the four of them suddenly felt a little elated.
Boss Qin should be more realistic and be the first to wake up and ask: "Then, who are you going to talk to about the mineral vein business?"
"This... to be honest, the four ministers are all excellent. But I cannot decide who to cooperate with. Can you give us some time to discuss it?"
"It's natural. I hope your distinguished guest can think about it." Boss Qin patted Mr. Xiang on the shoulder, as if there were two big words written on his face - choose me!
Mr. Xiang couldn't help but smile, and walked out with Wei Qing and the guards, pretending to discuss it, but actually walked away.
"Master, those things are all first-class treasures, why are we leaving like this?" one of the guards asked, feeling like he entered a treasure mountain but came back empty-handed.
Behind me, if anything in that workshop can be implemented, it will be a great good thing for the country and the people.
"Yes, everyone wants silk clothes, and seeds with a yield of 500 kilograms per acre are even more urgent. Red bricks and cement can be used to build city walls, and bicycles can also be used to transport grain. These are urgent needs of Daqian. Why don't you show your Majesty Explain your identity and have a good discussion with him?" Wei Qing said.
But Mr. Xiang shook his head and said: "We are fake after all. After looking at other people's things, if we don't leave now, why don't we wait for them to react and use knives and guns on us?"
"As for those treasures, silk and grain have been used as imperial merchants, and they can be used with just an imperial order."
"Red bricks, cement and bicycles, we really need to talk. It's just that talking to them won't work. We have to talk to that good guy Gu Shijun."
"But before that, we'd better enjoy the scenery of Huainan City. After all, the Gu family's son is right there, can he still escape?"
