The sun is vertical.
The curtain of dawn slowly opened.
Today, Qin Wenyuan knew from the color of the sky that it would definitely be a good day!
At this moment, the door of the first room was gently pushed open.
Qin Wenyuan turned to the door and saw his wife walking in with food.
He smiled helplessly and stepped forward." Madam, what's wrong? Are you hungry already?"”
"I remember that this restaurant has food delivered to their door. Why did you go down so early in the morning to get it?”
Changle smiled faintly." I was just afraid that you would be hungry. Today, you will be competing with the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Lord Lin."”
"As Madam, I can only help you with your diet and daily life to keep you in your best condition.”
As Chang Le spoke, he put down the food and began to scoop rice for Qin Wenyuan.
Basically, the dishes that were better in color and the meat that had more meat were all given to him.
Qin Wenyuan was touched by this.
"This…I don't think it's a battle of wits. After all, Lord Lin is quite friendly, don't worry.”Qin Wenyuan smiled.
Changle pursed his lips." Husband, you're the only one who's not afraid of Lord Lin's pressure."”
"Yesterday, Lord Lin's questioning tone scared me out of my wits. Only husband remained calm.”
"Sometimes, I really wonder if you're an ordinary person. Are you lying to me?”
"After all, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to act so calmly in front of Lord Lin.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Qin Wenyuan felt extremely awkward.
He couldn't possibly say that he came from the future thousands of years in the future, so he wasn't afraid of the pressure of the hierarchy, right?
"Cough cough, it might vary from person to person. Madam, let's eat.”Qin Wenyuan hurriedly changed the topic.
Fortunately, Chang Le did not pursue the matter. He smiled and continued to scoop his rice.
This morning, Qin Wenyuan and his wife were in their best condition.
…………
It was noon.
Qin Wenyuan brought Chang Le to visit the Ministry of Works again.
Compared to yesterday, when they entered the yamen of the Ministry of Works today, the bailiffs at the entrance did not need to report at all and let them in.
Inside, Lin Youwei brought a group of officials from the Ministry of Works and came over to welcome them.
"Young Master Qin, you're here.”Lin Youwei was very respectful.
Those who didn't know would think that Qin Wenyuan was also a big shot on par with Lin Youwei.
Qin Wenyuan remained calm in the face of such a big gift.
Beside him, Chang Le was also observing her husband.
She was once a princess, so she did not care about such a big gift.
However, her husband, Qin Wenyuan, performed even better than her!
This made Chang Le feel that her husband was not ordinary.
At the very least…he might have been glorious once.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Works.
Qin Wenyuan and Lin Youwei sat at the head of the table while the others, including Chang Le, sat at the second seat.
? As soon as he sat down, Qin Wenyuan said," Lord Lin, let's cut to the chase. I wonder how much the Ministry of Works will pay for my Luban Lock formula?"”
Eh?
This…
So direct?
Lin Youwei was a little stunned. He was still preparing to boil tea for Qin Wenyuan and then have a meal to discuss.
In the end, the other party didn't have that intention at all!
After thinking for a while, Lin Youwei raised three fingers awkwardly." Young Master Qin, the national treasury has been tight recently. This is the only amount the Ministry of Works can offer for now.”
"Thirty thousand taels?" Chang Le couldn't help but blurt out.
After saying that, she lowered her head with a red face.
This was not the place for a woman to speak. She had crossed the line just now.
Qin Wenyuan saw Chang Le's shyness and smiled. He covered Chang Le's small hand with his big hand and then looked at Lin Youwei.
Lin Youwei still had a troubled expression on his face, and he was even a little annoyed.
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes and probed,""Lord Lin, could it be three thousand taels?”
Lin Youwei was stunned and didn't dare to look at Qin Wenyuan.
Then, he sighed and nodded."That's right, Young Master Qin. The Ministry of Works can only offer this price for now.”
After saying that, Lin Youwei felt a sense of sorrow.
Luban lock, this was a Luban lock!
From ancient times, it had been passed down to the current Luban lock that people talked about with relish!
As long as they used Luban locks on the building, it would be unbreakable!
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a priceless treasure.
The 30,000 taels that Chang Le had mentioned just now, from the perspective of others, even he felt that the price was too low.
But there was no other way. The Great Tang was too poor. He was completely poor.
Even His Majesty Li Shi Min didn't dare to squander it.
It was already very rare to be able to take out three thousand taels of silver to buy a piece of technology.
Lin Youwei sighed," Young Master Qin, I'm sorry. The Ministry of Works can't give you a suitable price. We can…"
"Deal." Qin Wenyuan interrupted.
What?
Deal?
Lin Youwei was stunned for a moment before his eyes widened.
"Young…Young Master Qin, is what you said true?”His voice was trembling.
Qin Wenyuan didn't answer but nodded.
In the early Zhenguan period of the Great Tang, three thousand taels of silver was not a small amount.
According to records, during the Tang Dynasty, a family of three could only spend a few taels of silver a year if they were well-fed.
One could imagine that 3,000 taels was a lot. If converted, it would be enough for him and his wife, Chang Le, to live a carefree life.
On the other hand, Chang Le was a little dissatisfied.
The Luban Lock technique was only sold for so little. If it was her, she would definitely not sell it!
However, this was her husband Qin Wenyuan's decision. She could only feel helpless in her heart.
The next moment, Qin Wenyuan's words almost made her faint from anger.
"Lord Lin, since the Ministry of Works is in trouble, as a citizen of the Great Tang, I should do my part.”
"I can't give you much, just take out 1000 taels of silver from your 3000 taels of silver to aid the Ministry of Works. I will only take 2000 taels of silver.”
Qin Wenyuan spoke frankly.
However!
If his words didn't shock everyone, he would die!
Not only was Chang Le stunned, but everyone else present was also stunned.
There was such a good thing in the world?
Lin Youwei's mouth twitched." Young Master Qin, are you sure? Aren't you thinking about it?"
Qin Wenyuan shook his head." There's no need. This is my duty as a citizen of the Great Tang. I will hand over all the formulas related to the Luban Lock in the evening.”
"I hope that Lord Lin can use the Luban lock to improve the craftsmanship of the Great Tang.”
"Let Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, improve its architectural standards to a new level.”
Hearing this.
Lin Youwei took a deep breath and stood up solemnly," Young Master Qin, I thank you on behalf of the people of the world!”
The officials behind him also had sharp eyes and stood up.
" Thank you for your generosity, Young Master Qin!!"
Their voices were like a great bell, extremely infectious.
The gratitude of the officials also made Chang Le's expression better, but not by much.
After all, who would be happy to lose a thousand taels for no reason?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, her small hand secretly pinched Qin Wenyuan's waist.
It wasn't strong and wouldn't cause pain, but it could let Qin Wenyuan know that his wife was very uncomfortable!
