"Cultivator Li, your idea is very practical. I think it can be implemented immediately, but in the process of implementation, you need to pay attention to three points…"
Xu Chen said seriously as he repeated the system's words in his head. However, Li Chunfeng was mesmerized by it.
"Yes, yes! Little Brother Xu, you're really a genius. You even took these factors into consideration!”
Li Chunfeng slammed the table and rubbed his hands excitedly. He said earnestly,
"I'll go and tidy it up again tonight and start working overnight. It's not difficult to make this wool processing machine. The difficult part is the adjustment after it's finished. If everything goes well, we can have a prototype in two days!”
Great Tang still had many skilled craftsmen, and with Li Chunfeng as the chief engineer, they could operate at maximum efficiency. Two days was a conservative number.
In the Tang Dynasty, or perhaps in ancient times, they did not pay much attention to industry and regarded it as a strange skill. Among the scholars, farmers, merchants, and businessmen, craftsmen were only ranked third. Therefore, as an official of the imperial court, it was simply too easy to gather a group of cheap and useful craftsmen.
'That's good. I have 500 taels of silver here.'
Xu Chen took out the banknote he had gotten from selling grain and handed it to Li Chunfeng. He sighed and said,
"It's freezing early this year, so we have to make this wool processing machine as soon as possible. We have to make sure that everyone in the village can wear sweaters before winter. If everything goes well, we'll mass produce them so that all the people of the Great Tang can have a good New Year!”
His idea was very clear. Azure Dragon Village would be his research base. If there were good things, he would let the villagers use them first, and then slowly spread them to Chang 'an and even the entire Tang Empire!
"Alright, alright! Brother Xu, you have such great ambitions. I admire you so much that I prostrate myself on the ground. I have the honor of participating in such a great merit matter. I, Li Chunfeng, have no regrets in this life! Take this money back. Although I'm not a high-ranking official, I still have a surplus of money in my hands. There's no need to spend it.”
Li Chunfeng stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Chen respectfully. He said excitedly,
"I am here to thank Brother Xu Chen on behalf of all the people in the world!”
He knew very well that he was participating in a great event that would benefit the country and the people, and the source of this good thing was this young man in front of him!
What's the big deal about paying a little money? So what if he went bankrupt! If this matter was done well, he would be remembered by history as a virtuous person along with Xu Chen!
"Haha, Taoist priest, you don't have to be so polite. It's my luck to meet a great scientist like you!”
Xu Chen smiled brightly and shook hands with Li Chunfeng. He said solemnly,
"Big Brother Li, I'll leave this matter to you!”
"Alright, brother, leave it to me!”
After changing the way they addressed each other, the distance between the two of them immediately shortened. Li Chunfeng also addressed Xu Chen as brother. He was just short of burning yellow paper to kill chickens and becoming sworn brothers!
"…???"
What was going on? They hadn't even said a few words, but why were they already calling each other brothers?
"Alright, brother, there's no time to lose. I'll go back and organize my thoughts now. I'll gather my men and start work tonight.”
Li Chunfeng patted Xu Chen's shoulder and said goodbye.
"I'll definitely bring the finished product to you in two days!”
With that, he turned around and left in a hurry. When he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and whispered into Wu Shi's ear,
"This child's future achievements are limitless. You have to seize the opportunity!”
Then, he stood up and smiled at Xu Chen. He cupped his hands again and left the Azure Dragon Village.
"..."
What the hell! He had never seen Li Chunfeng speak so carelessly.
At this moment, Little Wu was rubbing his sleepy eyes as he walked out of the room. The three of them looked at each other and did not speak. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Cough cough…Girl, why aren't you coming over?”
Wu Shi coughed dryly and said in a dignified manner.
Xiao Wu nodded and glanced at Xu Chen. He then walked to Wu Shi and sat down.
"Well, uncle…"
Xu Chen scratched his head. After holding it in for a long time, he could not say anything nice. He could only say foolishly,
"Little Wu and I…"
Xu Chen, who had lived two lives, had never experienced what it was like to be married. Naturally, he did not know how to get along with his future father-in-law.
Right now, he was feeling a little uneasy, like a clumsy son-in-law visiting his father-in-law for the first time. He was at a loss.
"I already know about what happened between the two of you, but I can only tell you that I don't agree now!”
Wu Shi looked at the tea bag on the table and immediately shifted his gaze. His gaze was incomparably sharp as he said firmly.
You want to bribe me with just a bag of tea leaves and ask me to marry my daughter to you? Do you think I'm a fool?
Hmph, don't even think about it!
"Father! Chen gege and I…"
When Little Wu heard this, he immediately became anxious. He grabbed Wu Shi Yao's arm and shook it vigorously. He bit his lips and was about to persuade Wu Shi Yao, but he was stopped by Wu Shi Yao.
"You don't have to say anymore! Although I'm not a military hero, I'm still a Duke! How could a duke marry his daughter so hastily? Not only do you have to consider your happiness, but you also have to consider the impact of this matter, understand?”
Wu Shi Yao's eyes were burning as he told Xiao Wu, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Chen. He said,
"If those nobles knew that my daughter married a farmer without any in-laws, wouldn't they laugh at me? Our Wu clan can't afford to lose this face. No one can afford to lose this face!”
His words were powerful and resonating. What he said was reasonable and well-founded. No one could refute him. Even Xiao Wu, who was usually the most intelligent and quick-witted, was stuck. He could not say anything and could only lower his head and sob.
It was useless to be unreasonable. The truth was indeed as Wu Shi said. No matter what, Chinese people were particular about matching families. With Xu Chen's current status, if his daughter married him, it would be simply embarrassing!
At that time, how many people would secretly laugh at their Wu clan?
In this world, one couldn't do anything as one pleased. Especially when it came to marriage, personal preference was secondary. The most important thing was the pressure of fishing boats and social influence!
No one could withstand such pressure, so it was understandable for Wu Shi to say so.
Xu Chen could only remain silent. His expression was neither good nor bad. On the contrary, he was a little indifferent. The frustration or anger that he had imagined did not appear, which made Wu Shi a little curious.
What was this kid thinking at this moment?
"What else do you have to say? If not, I'll take Little Wu away.”
Wu Shi stood up deliberately and said. He pulled Xiao Wu's hand and was about to walk out.
Kid, let's see how long you can hold back and not speak!
The evaluation votes were too pitiful…
