Chapter 239 037: Who is this woman? (1st update)

"Dad, Mom, why don't I go visit Third Sister and see what her side is saying now?"

After the second daughter's suggestion, Chang Dadou and Mrs. Li looked at each other and felt that it was a solution. It was better than hiding like now. This was not a long-term solution.

With her parents' approval, Chang Er'e began to prepare to visit Chang Xi.

However, her husband Zhou Man poured cold water on Chang Er'e, "My parents-in-law are old and confused. Are you also confused? It's not like I haven't seen my sister-in-law before. How could it be that powerful Mrs. Chang?"

"Whether it's true or not, you won't suffer any loss if you go and take a look." Chang Er'e had her own reason. "I heard that the tea brick workshop is still recruiting workers. Let's go and sign up. What if we are hired? Mr.

It’s better than taking care of this little field at home..."

Zhou Man sneered slightly, feeling that his wife was having a whim, "What will we farmers eat if we don't farm? I don't go anywhere, I just farm at home."

Chang Er'e glared at her confused husband, and had no choice but to go to her eldest sister to discuss it first.

Chang Daye saw her sister arriving and hurriedly welcomed her into the thatched house, "Why are you here? Are your parents and younger brother okay? By the way, those official officials are not here for my parents, but to recruit some kind of construction team.

But who believes it? Maybe they are trying to recruit strong men. All the strong laborers in the village have gone out to hide recently. You ask your father and younger brother to hide too, so you don’t get caught..."

What her eldest sister said, Chang Er'e didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she asked Chang Daye to talk about Mrs. Chang from the tea brick workshop who was suspected of being her younger sister, "Speaking of which, San'e has been married for so long, and none of us have

I went to the city to visit her, and this time we sisters happened to go together to see how she is doing?"

Chang Daye took a breath of cold air, "Could it be that my parents are suffering from hypochondriasis? Is that person really our San'e?"

"It's okay to go take a look, what if it is." Chang Er'e said, "We are also sisters after all. She is rich, shouldn't she win over us? You can't be so selfish."

Chang Daye was noncommittal to the second sister's words, but there was nothing to lose in going and taking a look, so she nodded and agreed to go to the tea brick workshop with her.

When she lay down at night, she still told all this to her husband Luo Xiaoli, "I don't know if this person is the little sister. I heard my parents said that Xu Dalang was dead, and the little sister didn't come back to say a word. I felt really bad.

.”

Luo Xiaoli has always been a taciturn farmer. Now seeing his wife feeling melancholy and worried, he said in a low voice, "Then you and my second sister-in-law should go and have a look, and we can pick up some mountain goods and send them over tomorrow."

Chang Daye responded hurriedly and generously allowed her husband to support her mother's family. She was indescribably happy in her heart.

"It's winter now, and there's not much work in the fields. You can send us sisters to find our little sister tomorrow."

Luo Xiaoli heard this and nodded to express his agreement.

The next day, Luo Xiaoli left his children in the care of his parents and escorted the Chang sisters to find Chang Xi.

In Jiejia Villa, the new spinning machine attracted Lin Yuqi to come and watch it. Looking at the wooden machine, he showed an interested expression, "If steam power is used, the speed of spinning can be even faster."

"That's the truth, but you can't bite off more than you can chew. Things have to be done step by step." Chang Xi saw the eagerness in Lin Yuqi's eyes and poured a little cold water on him.

In fact, she knows better than anyone else that the use of steam power for spinning machines is the beginning of the industrial revolution. However, firstly, the technical bottleneck is not so easy to break through, and secondly, the use of iron is not so easy in this fucking era.

Do whatever you want, the output of iron ore is very low now, Daewoo has a quota for the use of iron in the country, and the tea brick factory has almost used up the quota, so the spinning machine can only use wooden ones now.

The objective reality is here and cannot be changed by subjective initiative.

"Brother Lin, Sister Chang is right, our research over there hasn't been successful yet." Jie Yuxin unceremoniously hooked Lin Yuqi's back collar and led him away, so as not to distract him.

Lin Yuqi's face was filled with grievances, but he made no move to resist. He even said to Carpenter Yang, "I'll discuss it with you next time."

Carpenter Yang wiped his sweat. Of course he knew who this little lunatic was. After all, everyone was doing experiments in other courtyards. He had heard more or less about him, but he was not afraid of the discussion, so Yang

He said, "Then I'll wait for you to come."

Chang Xi is happy to see such an interactive atmosphere. It is a good thing to promote each other.

Only then did Craftsman Yang have the opportunity to report the progress of the establishment of the woodworking workshop to Chang Xi, and then said: "Ms. Chang, it takes a lot of working hours for one person to make such a spinning machine. This time cannot be saved..."

"What do you think about learning from the successful experience of the Tea Brick Workshop and splitting the spinning machine into several assembly lines, with one person responsible for each link, and then reassembling it at the end?"

Craftsman Yang had never heard of this method of division of labor. He did not answer Chang Xi immediately. Instead, he rehearsed in his mind whether this method could speed up the work time. Not to mention, he felt that this was a method worth learning from.

So he said, "I think it's feasible."

"Then try this and produce a batch of spinning machines as soon as possible."

After encouraging Craftsman Yang, Chang Xi walked to Xie Jin's study. He didn't know what Xie Jin was busy with recently. Anyway, when she came to the workshop during this period, he didn't have much time to ask about these things. Instead, she finished her busy work.

Come and find him later.

When Zhou Nan saw Chang Xi coming, he did not stop him. As a qualified long-term follower, he had to consider his master's mood first.

Seeing the dark circles under Jie Jin's eyes, Chang Xi felt a rare feeling of heartache. What a waste of such a beautiful face. She wanted to grab the pen in his hand and yell,

"I'll come, you go and rest."

Well, she just thought about it and didn't really yell out.

Seeing the undisguised distress in her eyes, Xie Jin immediately put down the brush in his hand, "Has everything been arranged?"

"Absolutely." Chang Xi said, "There is no news about Mr. Zhou's construction team yet, and it will still be like this in the future. I will not consider cooperating with him."

The prestige of the government in this era was really not very good. After all, there were things like corvee service and recruiting young men, so the people in the village were quite afraid of official officials, and they probably would not cooperate with Mr. Zhou.

She gave him the idea, but she didn't intend to teach Mr. Zhou how to do it to dispel people's concerns. This was also a test for officials like Mr. Zhou. It couldn't even solve this problem. It could only prove his ability to govern. That's all.

It would be better for people not to be promoted anymore, so as not to harm the people.

Xie Jin frowned. The suggestions she gave Mr. Zhou were sorted out and put in front of his case that night. The idea was a good idea, but unfortunately it may not be realized due to past misdeeds. So

He currently has a wait-and-see attitude towards the matter.

"Give him some more time to see if he can change the status quo. It took a while for your original confidentiality contract to be accepted by the villagers."

Chang Xi shrugged, agreeing to his words, but she couldn't really wait indefinitely for the news from Mr. Zhou, and she still had to make the necessary second-hand preparations.

Mr. Zhou is so anxious now that he has a bunch of blisters in his mouth. Although he knew that this matter would be difficult to handle, he did not expect it to be so difficult.

Mrs. He, Mrs. Zhou on the side, saw her husband like this, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't succeed, forget it. You are dedicated to doing good for others, but they don't appreciate it. What can you do? Just don't be in the limelight. Anyway, I want to be safe."

Yes, I am also satisfied."

"What do you know?" Mr. Zhou growled at his wife.

Mrs. Zhou immediately choked back, "I don't understand? Humph, wasn't that Madam Chang the one who gave you the idea? I don't think it's very good. Why did you believe her? She can accomplish such great things.

, I don’t know how many men are supporting her behind her back, why are you wading into this muddy water? Don’t just fall in love with her, right?” In the end, she even acted like a tigress.

Recently, she heard too many legends about Mrs. Chang when she went out to socialize. She couldn't help but feel disgusted, but she couldn't say it directly outside. She was afraid that people would offend Mrs. Chang if the news got out, and then she would be shot at herself.

foot.

But she didn't expect that her man suddenly heard the move she made, and she became even more disgusted with this person she had never met.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Master Zhou jumped up and covered his wife's mouth to prevent her from ruining his affairs with her nonsense.

Mrs. Zhou glared at her husband fiercely, opened her mouth and bit her husband's mouth. After being an official's wife for so many years, she has not forgotten her former true nature, "You are such a heartless person. I got it right, so you became angry..."

…”

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Zhou swore impatiently, "If I fall in love with the Chang family, I will be struck by five thunders from the sky, right?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou broke into a smile and glanced sideways at her husband, "You didn't like her, so what's bothering you?"

"Women have long hair and short knowledge." Mr. Zhou sat back in the recliner again, "There is someone behind the Chang family, otherwise she would not be able to catch up with the eldest princess. If I cooperate with her and perform well in this position,

People who follow the Chang family can naturally see my abilities."

Everyone understood what was said next. Mrs. Zhou did not expect her husband to think this way, but it made sense after thinking about it, "How about I leave a message to Mrs. Chang and invite her to come to the government office for a banquet and ask her for advice secretly."

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he thought this was a solution at first, but when his wife was about to write a post, he stopped her and said, "It's not appropriate. It won't show my ability. This goes against my original intention."

It’s the opposite.”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she curled her lips and said, "This won't work, that won't work either. She really didn't know what he wanted to do, so she sarcastically said, "Why don't you do what Chang did before?"

Mr. Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately jumped up from the recliner, "Yes, why didn't I think of finding something to learn from her past behavior?" Then Sa Yazi ran out, "Madam, I will go to work first, you

You don’t have to wait for me to come back for dinner.”

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but smile when she saw her husband like this, which made her want to find some time to meet Mrs. Chang and see who this woman was.
