Song Genhai guessed right, Cui Geng is in a lot of trouble now.

In his original plan, not only did he want to make money for these border soldiers, but also to make the Turks rich and able to buy grain and various luxury goods from the Central Plains.

To achieve this goal, the only way to achieve this is to develop a large-scale wool textile industry.

In these years, money and silk were used together, and if wool could be woven into cloth, it would be almost equivalent to printing money directly.

However, wool cloth was not uncommon in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and if this business was easy to do, it would not be Cui Geng's turn.

From wool to wool cloth, there are probably four keys.

The first is the selection of wool, which is not to worry at all, the beach wool in the Hetao area is a treasure in the wool, if it can be processed successfully, it is hard currency wherever it is placed.

The second is degreasing, which is generally used to wash wool and degreasing with hot water in this era, and the effect is not good, and the quality of the woolen cloth made is very poor. Regarding this, Cui Geng has a way. When he was making glass, he mined trona ore and degreased it with alkaline water, which was enough to greatly improve the quality of woollen cloth.

It is a parallel line again, which does not need to be improved by Cui Geng, and the existing technology is very mature.

Finally, and most importantly, yarn machine manufacturing.

Belch...... The yarn machine of this era is also very mature, and it can be said that from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, there has been little change.

However, this kind of yarn machine is not what Cui Geng wants. Or is it the same sentence, if it is so easy to make money, it is still Cui Geng's turn?

What he really wanted to invent was the world-famous Jenny spinning machine. This kind of machine, hailed as the machine that started the industrial revolution, is enough to reduce the cost of wool cloth to less than 10% of the existing one.

Cui Geng's plan is very good, Jenny spinning machine has two key points, one is the "shuttle", and the other is to stand the spindle upright. Tell those skilled craftsmen these two tips, and Jenny spinning machine will be made?

But those people have been busy for half a month and have encountered countless problems, and Jenny's spinning machine is still far away.

It's not surprising to think about it, although the Jenny spinning machine is the product of a flash of inspiration. However, after all, this thing was produced in the seventeenth century, a thousand years from now, and there are many indescribable differences in technology.

What can I do?

If you can't make Jenny spinning machines, you can't vigorously develop the wool textile industry. If we can't develop the wool textile industry, we won't be able to fulfill our promise to the soldiers and soldiers of Shuofang.

The boss broke his word, how could he expect his soldiers to desperately resist the counterattack of the Turks?

Isn't that all over?

Cui Gengzhen is at a loss.

In a trance, he remembered Yang Wulian, although this guy's character is not very good, but he is really a genius in science and technology.

Legend has it that he once carved a wooden monk with a wooden bowl in his hand and automatically begged from others. When the bowl is full, the mechanism activates and automatically collects the money. Then the wooden monk will say, "Give alms! โ€

People rushed to watch, and at the end of the day, this wooden monk robot could beg for several times of money.

If he were still alive, he would be able to make a Jenny spinning machine, right?

But it's a pity that Yang Wulian has already died in the Second Holy Palace. What other mechanical genius of this era is there besides him?

Pedal pedal pedal ~~

Just as Cui Geng was thinking wildly, the curtain was raised, and Feng Changqing stepped into the house and said, "My lord, there is a mysterious person who asks to see you." โ€

Cui Geng said angrily: "What is it?" He has no name or surname, what kind of mysterious person is he called? โ€

"Uh...... He completely covered his head and face, and called himself a mysterious man, and insisted that you meet him personally, saying that he had something very important to report to you. โ€

"Well, well, bring him in."

After a while, the so-called mysterious person was led in by Feng Changqing.

He clenched his fists slightly, and said in a dumb voice: "Please also ask Cui Xiangping to step back left and right, and the identity below will not be seen." โ€

Cui Geng was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and said, "No need, these are all people who have been trusted by this official." โ€

"That's good, I believe in Cui Xiang."

As he spoke, the man tore off the black veil that covered his head and face, revealing his true face.

Cui Geng was surprised and said, "Su Guan, is it you?" โ€

"Yes, right down!" Su Guan knelt on the ground, knocked his head thumping, and said, "There were thousands of mistakes in the past, and they were all the faults of the next. But this time, I'm really cornered, Cui Xiang must save me! โ€

Then, he didn't hide it, and told him in detail about what Wei Zhigu discussed with him, asking Su Anheng to write a letter to squeeze Cui Geng.

In the end, he said with a bitter face: "I really hope that after my father took that twist, His Majesty would be able to extrajudicially show mercy and spare the villain's life." Unexpectedly, Cui Xiang, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, directly sent troops to smash the nest of the Turks. My father's recital is meaningless, and His Majesty issued an order to behead our Su family. Now you are the only one who can shelter the villain. โ€

"Wait......" Cui Geng interrupted: "Since Your Majesty has issued an order to behead the Su family, how did you, a weak scholar with no power, escape?" โ€

"Of course, it's because of a noble person who rescued him. At that time, the judicial officer of Jingzhao Yin Yamen joined the army, admired his father's personality, and secretly released my family of ten. Now the villain's nine daughters are all in Lingzhou City, and I also asked Cui Xiang to look at his father's thin face, and allow my family to live in Lingzhou. โ€

"Uh......" Cui Geng's face was embarrassed.

He secretly thought that Su Guan himself was not guilty, and it was said that saving him was not against his own principles. However, Su Guan and his nine daughters are all prisoners of the imperial court, and if their identities are exposed, it will be a big trouble after all. Besides, who knows if he betrayed Li Longji now, is it true or not?

Su Guan knew that he didn't trust Cui Geng so much, and said; "The villain's eldest daughter, Su Meimei, is sixteen years old this year, and she is quite beautiful. If Cui Xiang doesn't dislike it, he can put it in the room for tea sweeping. โ€

Wipe!

It seems that the official's name of good ~ color can't be torn off.

Cui Geng frowned and said, "No need, this official ......"

Su Guan hurriedly added: "If you think it's inappropriate, the villain's second daughter, Su Yurong, is fourteen years old, and she knows all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at a young age, and it is also good to accompany Cui Xiang to talk and relieve boredom." โ€

"That's not what I mean." Cui Geng felt that this situation was getting darker and darker, and quickly changed the topic, saying: "By the way, that Jingzhao Yin Yamen's judicial army has let you go, and you have to eat and hang up:"

"Exactly, he went to Lingzhou City with the villain, and asked Cui Xiang to protect him."

"Who is the judicial army of Jingzhao Yin Yamen now? Is it still Lu Liang? I didn't expect this kid to do such a big thing. โ€

"It's not Lu Liang, now the judicial security army of Jingzhao Yin Yamen is called Yin Wenliang, and he used to be the county magistrate of Gong County, Luozhou."

"Yin Wenliang ......" Suddenly, Cui Geng's eyes lit up, and he said, "What? You said that the person who saved you was the original Gongxian county magistrate Yin Wenliang? โ€

"yes, what's wrong?"

Cui Geng happily patted his thigh and said, "It's okay!" Just for the sake of Yin Wenliang's face, this official also has to protect you. โ€

"Huh?"

Su Guan was dumbfounded, and secretly wondered: Isn't Yin Wenliang the person of King Linzi? Why does it sound like it has an old relationship with Cui Geng?
