Liang Xing actually had some doubts in his heart, but this topic was more taboo, if Zhang Han hadn't said it first, he would never have dared to spy on it, and only dared to tell his thoughts truthfully.

"The lotus thing," Liang Xing then said hesitantly: "I don't know when I will be able to pick her up?" ”

Last month, when things were not much, Zhang Han arranged for Liang Xing to go to his home, and the family also arranged for the lotus to come out to see it, both parties were very satisfied, Liang Xing is the general manager of the archer, a year for hundreds of years, and his life is not bad.

With this marriage, Zhang Han is a step closer to Liang Xing, I heard that Wang Changfu is very red for this matter, but unfortunately he not only has a wife at home, but also the Hedong lion roars very strongly, of course it is not his turn to do such things, Liang Xing is also very satisfied with the lotus, and he can't wait to enter the door immediately.

Zhang Han heard this, and said in a lawsuit: "You bastard still dare to say, I have sent many letters to my family for you, and now my mother is writing to mention my marriage, urging me to hurry home and settle the marriage, and now I can only drag it out as much as possible, do you dare to mention it?" My marriage is uncertain, and I didn't marry Chang Ning, where are you going to pick up the lotus? ”

Liang Xing scratched his ears and cheeks, feeling very anxious, he is not a chick anymore, he has tasted meat before, this matter was not a matter for him before, he is not qualified to go to the high-grade Qinglou in Xinping Fort, but there are secret doors that are half-closed, these people also point to Lahu to help them settle things, Liang Xing doesn't know how many doors he has touched in the middle of the night, now he is a senior officer in Lizhuang, usually his subordinates go to the nearby Tiancheng Acropolis to release the pressure, Liang Xing is embarrassed to go, it is too embarrassing to touch his subordinates, Long-term abstinence is really a challenge for people who have experienced Liang Xing's kind of thing.

Liang Xing said with a bitter face after a long time: "If that's the case, I have to take a concubine first......

"You dare!" Zhang Han said angrily: "As long as you are under my hands for a day, don't think about it, even if you don't do it, I will send a field worker to cut your thing." ”

"My lord, you are having a hard time doing this."

Liang Xing was taken aback, and hurriedly made a loyal appearance, and said with a dog's face: "The Sun family should at least have a wife, and Miss Biao didn't enter the door to have this matter, and she must be awkward in her heart......"

"Fuck off." Zhang Han scolded with a smile: "Don't be here with me to have nothing to say." ”

The two were talking, and Jiang Kui said outside the window: "Siguan Sun and Siguan Li are here, and the eldest uncle is also here." ”

"It's really a terrestrial evil." Liang Xing said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, my uncle is here, I will leave quickly, otherwise he will be arrested and trained again." ”

In the first few months, Chang Jin repaired water wheels everywhere and recruited archers several times, and later Liang Xing confronted his uncle in person, saying that he seriously affected the daily training of archers in this way, and rolled his eyes when Chang Jin was angry, and later Li Xiangfu and others began to hire a large number of people to be useful to Chang Jin, which solved the contradiction.

In Chang Jinyou's view, it is not necessary for the archers to gather together, and the imperial court uses the Bancao army to go to Beijing to repair the city wall and repair the emperor's mausoleum, why does he use the archers to repair the canal and dig the ditch?

Because of this, Chang Jin has seen Liang Xing also a lawsuit.

"Two officials, uncle."

Liang Xing was still blocked at the door, he greeted Chang Jinyou and others, and everyone else returned the salute, only Chang Jinyou snorted with a dark face.

Liang Xing turned his head and squeezed his eyebrows, and then hurried away, Zhang Han looked at it and wanted to laugh, but he still held back, he got up and moved a chair in front of his desk, and said with a smile: "Uncle, what's the matter and he came here again?" ”

Chang Jin is normally hanging back and forth in the technical departments of the three bureaus, and he is very busy when he doesn't come to Zhang Han to hang out here.

In addition to his own clock research, he helped the various technical research groups of the three bureaus, because of his own transcendent status, and there was no conflict of interests, the various technical groups were completely open to him, he helped a lot, and also had a lot of addiction, since he arrived in Xinpingbao, and then came to Li Zhuang, Chang Jin's technical habits were considered to have been satisfied at the highest level...... In Zhang Han's place, not only will no one say that he is not doing his job, on the contrary, he has received a very high status and respect, and this respect is not because of his identity as an uncle, but his identity is actually covered up by his achievements...... Now Chang Jin is walking on the road, and there are often farmers who squeeze over and hand him a few jujubes, or boiled eggs, and when he goes to Zhuangzi, he is made to drink brown sugar water...... For no other reason, he repaired the canal and waterwheel really helped too much, this alone is enough for people to give him enough respect, here in Li Zhuang, Chang Jin is another highly skilled, well-informed senior technician, he is different from Wang Debang and others, Wang Debang and others read and write is halfway to become a monk, have to do it, Chang Jin is a wealthy merchant family, he has been studying non-stop since he was a child, and the level of the two sides is not on the same line, even now, those few craftsmen want to keep up with the uncle, I'm going to have to work hard for a few more years.

"Ask for money." Chang Jin was a little embarrassed to find Zhang Han before, after all, it was the relationship between his cousin and nephew, and the elders couldn't pull their faces, and Chang Jin had heard about Chang Ning and Zhang Han no matter how much he stayed, of course he agreed, but with this relationship, some words were even more embarrassed to come out.

However, the waterwheels were repaired one after another, and Zhang Han's appropriations were also increasing, and thousands of silver were allocated for the clock project...... There are so many at one time, Chang Jin thought that the money was enough, but he didn't expect it to be far away.

"Uncle, in addition to clocks and watches, you're still working on telescopes, aren't you?"

"Yes." Chang Jin said depressedly: "Last time, you asked someone to buy it from Suzhou, saying that this thing is also very useful, so I also started to try to make it, this thing has to keep polishing the lenses to adjust, and the cost is too great." Clocks, if the clock is more than one person high, we have made it very accurate, there is almost no error, now what we have to do is to slowly make it smaller and smaller, which also costs a lot of money. ”

"It's a small thing, but if you stick to it, you can definitely succeed."

Chang Jin said that this was expected, and Zhang Han was not surprised at all, so he only had a batch of several thousand taels of silver...... Those who think that technological breakthroughs are easy things do precisely not know anything about these things.

How many clocks are placed in front of you, how many will be taken apart and reassembled? How many people can figure out the principles of all the parts, and then successfully assemble the architecture? How easy is it to make your own parts and then assemble them successfully?

The table clock has now entered China for decades, the Jingshi Imperial Palace and the rich and noble families have collections, Zhang Han has seen some collections in the clock hall of the Forbidden City in later generations, the general principle is that the late Ming Dynasty was thick and clumsy, the Qing Dynasty began to be more and more gorgeous and exquisite, Zhang Han of course does not want to be exquisite, but he proposed to make as small as possible is also a more difficult technological breakthrough, Chang Jin has done well enough.

"Do you want to invite a technician from Suzhou?" There is a sullen way in Changjin.

"I'm afraid it's hard." Zhang Han said with a smile: "The background is thousands of miles away from home, and if people want to come, they must also ask us to spend a lot of silver, and the technology must still be in the hands of others, so why bother." It's better for us to manage enough at once, and there will be a splash if we smash the silver down...... Li Dongxue will give his uncle five thousand taels in a while. ”

Last time, Zhang Han gave 3,000, this time it was 5,000, if you go to Suzhou to buy, I'm afraid a few hundred clocks are enough, and everyone present felt Zhang Han's determination.

Chang Jinyou smiled bitterly: "This time I am under more pressure...... It's strange to say, you are usually very frugal, you don't use much money, and only now are you looking for a new house in Xinpingbao, if others have such a big business at your age, I'm afraid you don't know how to squander it. ”

Zhang Han smiled: "Nephew, I'm just so weird......"

Everyone in the room laughed, Chang Jin laughed a few times, took the silver slip and left happily, after he left, Zhang Han smiled and twisted his eyebrows vigorously.

Li Dongxue said expressionlessly: "Suitable is acting, about the uncle really doesn't know, we are also dry now." ”

Sun Jingting said: "I touched Dongxue at the right time, the army is quite stable, and the silver has been allocated in advance, including the silver for small-scale wars, but other departments may stop production at any time due to lack of silver." On the Lingqiu side, there were still millions of catties of square hair iron for sale a few years ago, and one catty was only a penny and a half, and it was fast to return the silver, but it was only tens of thousands of silver. Over at the account bureau, there will be a lot of silver coming in in the past two months, but it will not exceed 250,000 at most, the mule and horse shop can come back 350,000, and the branches around the country can come back 350,000, and all these silver add up to less than 400,000 at most, of course, this silver is sent from all over the country after deducting their daily expenses and turnover silver, which is considered pure income, but Li Zhuang's monthly expenses here will be 20,000 ah, and this year's income is these for the time being. ”

Li Dongxue said: "The boring machine and punch machine sent to Macao to buy by the adults are afraid that it will arrive, and now there are wire drawing machines and hydraulic hammers, and the hydraulic punches must be manufactured in large quantities, and the boring machine must be imitated, we have to cast our own cannons, which will cost at least 10,000 taels of silver, and then the most important thing is to ...... with Yusheng."

Both of them are confidants around Zhang Han, and Li Dongxue has gone from a buddy to a shopkeeper and a regional shopkeeper, and they are also very clear about the current situation......

Zhang Han really has no money on hand!

All the silver is the one just mentioned, the essence of the previous reserves, and all the income of this year is used to fight the business war, not to mention, the accumulated goods, silver taels, are all consumed in the endless business war.

The inventory on the grassland is now very small, and most of the goods of less than 200,000 are still sold to the north by Namu'er and Chang Wei, and the recent good news is that the Fan family is finished, and Bu Shitu may completely ban the Fan family's trade rights at any time, and give the smuggling rights to Zhang Han alone.
