Wei Yun'er said with a heartfelt voice: "Look at your methods, hand over the best watch business, in exchange for the Zhang Gongjin family no longer harming the people." He painstakingly tried to find a way to create more borderless land in Weizhou, in exchange for the support of the Qinghe Zhang family. Tell me...... Do you have a nest? โ
"What? What's the official bag? Then you sisters, what should I do? โ
"Of course, it is a direct official document declaring that the clause in the deed of early repayment of debts is invalid. With your power, can't you suppress the three families of Weizhou obediently? โ
Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "You guys, it's too simple. Of course, the official can issue an official document, but do you think that official document is really useful? โ
"Why didn't it work?"
"This official can stay in Weizhou for a few years, but the three families of Weizhou have been rooted here for more than a hundred years. Do you think that the people will obey their commands, or will they obey their own commands? If my official document is good, the three of us will not fight each other openly. However, if some small people, fearing their future retribution, take the initiative to give them the land, will the officials be able to control it? โ
"This ......," Wei Yun'er was speechless for a while.
She understands that these big families are arrogant in the countryside. If you let out a little bit of rumor, you have to have at least half of the people. Take the initiative to dedicate the land.
She said hatefully: "Then there is nothing you can do about these three?" Why take our family...... Ah, no, you deserve to feed these wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people! โ
"If you don't compensate these three people, there is only one way."
"What's the method?"
Cui Geng said viciously: "Find a reason to uproot these three families." โ
"Huh?" Wei Yun'er and Wei Xue'er exclaimed in unison, "The three great families are not guilty of death, right?" โ
"You also know that these three great families are not guilty of death. Therefore, to make them compromise, the only way to do so is to exchange interests. โ
Wei Yun'er said anxiously: "However, this time I satisfied them, what about next time?" What about the next time, won't the small people have to suffer? โ
"That can't be done." Cui Geng said helplessly: "The dynasty is established, there are few people and many lands, and the world is peaceful." Then the population multiplied, the land was annexed, the poor had no place to stand, and the people rose up and changed the dynasty. The so-called cycle of chaos is more or less like this. โ
"Then there is no way to solve the cycle of chaos?"
"Uh...... It cannot be said that there is nothing at all. It's just that you and I probably won't be able to see it. โ
"What the hell is that?"
Cui Gengdao: "The yield per mu in the world has increased by more than ten times, and most people no longer farm, but rely on workshops to make a living. Land in general, except for land in the city, is no longer valuable. The imperial court provided money for the people to provide for the elderly, and the people had no worries about the future and no longer gave birth in a big way. โ
Wei Xue'er said: "Cui Xiang said this, it is even more difficult than solving the cycle of chaos, how is that possible?" โ
Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of human beings, it won't take two thousand years for these conditions to be met." โ
"Cut, brag, do you know if it's going to happen in two thousand years?"
โฆโฆ
Despite saying this, after the second daughter understood Cui Geng's distress, her combing movements became more and more gentle. Wei Yun'er was even quite interested in the way to solve the cycle of chaos, and kept asking questions, and Cui Geng had a random response.
After a while, Cui Geng suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you have been nominally a concubine in this official mansion for so long, will it affect your marriage?" โ
Wei Yun'er sighed and said, "How can it not be affected?" Now, I can only resign myself to fate. โ
"That's it......" Cui Geng finally couldn't bear it, and said: "Then after the "meeting", the official will explain it in person and restore the reputation of the two little ladies. โ
"Then thank you Choi Sang."
Wei Yun'er and Wei Xue'er's tones were indispensable, and they didn't sound very happy.

At the same time, inside the Wei Mansion.
A little guy bowed slightly and said, "Da Lang, the head of the Zhang family is already waiting outside the mansion, urging you to go out." โ
"Okay, you tell the head of the Zhang family, I'll be there soon."
Wei Li changed into a newly-sleeved round-necked robe, vibrated his spirits, came to the door, met Zhang Zitao, and came in the direction of the meeting.
There were not 1,000 but 800 people who participated in the meeting, and the general place could not accommodate it. Qinghe Zhang and the Wei family deliberately found a large vacant land in the northeast corner of Weizhou City and set up twenty color sheds. Tables, chairs, benches and tea and snacks are set up in each shed for guests to sit in. The waiting guys and maids shuttle non-stop and provide services to guests at any time.
and erected a three-zhang high platform for people to go up and speak.
In Wei Li's thoughts, Cui Geng's self-respecting identity must not have arrived yet. What I am about to see should be that all the guests are connecting with each other, angrily accusing Cui Geng of perverse behavior, and preparing to give him a ruthless one.
However, before he arrived at the scene, he heard a burst of exclamations from the color shed.
"Eh, it's fun, it's fun!"
"Wonderful! Such an artifact is ingenious! โ
"I don't know how much it sells for, if it's not too expensive, I'd really like to buy one."
โฆโฆ
Well? What's going on?
Wei Li walked forward quickly, but when he saw that in the color tent, all the guests stood up, constantly arguing about the same thing, and their mouths were full of slurps.
It was about three feet high, rectangular in shape, enclosed in glass, with a hammer swinging underneath, and a disc engraved with twelve hours on it. Not only that, but each hour was evenly divided into ten small portions.
In addition, there are three pointer-like things that point to different hours. With a crisp "ticking" sound, the smallest hand keeps turning.
Wei Li was puzzled: "Everyone, what is this?" โ
"Hehe, so that Brother Wei can know that the name of this thing is called a clock, and it is my nephew Zhang Sui, who is not a weapon, and was invented by Cui Xiang."
It was Zhang Yong who was talking.
Wei Li frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "What is this thing for?" โ
"This thing can measure time very accurately. , Brother Wei, please see, this is the hour hand, this is the minute hand, the second hand. It can be said that since the beginning of the world......"
"Alright, alright." Wei Li interrupted very rudely: "It's just a strange thing, so you don't need to introduce it so carefully." โ
Zhang Yong stopped doing it when he heard this, and said, "What? Tricks and tricks? Brother Wei, you say this, you know, say that you are jealous of the old nephew, and you are open-mouthed. And those who don't know, I'm afraid they will think that you are short-sighted and unworthy of being the descendant of Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng! โ
Wipe!
Whether you know or don't know, you have to say bad things about Lao Tzu?
Wei Li said angrily: "Then tell me yourself, what is the serious use of this thing?" Who needs to measure time so precisely? If you can say it clearly, you will admit that you are the unscrupulous descendants of your ancestors. If you can't tell me clearly, you won't be reconciled! โ
"Oops, you're still on the board." Zhang Yong said confidently: "Okay, I'll tell everyone in front of everyone about the proper use of this clock." Let everyone judge whether your brother Wei is the unscrupulous descendant of Zheng Guogong! โ
Of course, Zhang Yong didn't know the important use of clocks in military and navigation, but he really made a big point out of his way.
