Chapter 1302 Sister, it’s a pity you are not a man.

Su Liu scolded her with a smile, "You child, as an elder sister, you are here saying that your younger sister is partial. If this word gets out, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Su Qingning immediately looked at Su Liushi: "Aunt, although Wan'er listens to me, she always lectures me. Am I still her elder sister?"

Su Wenqing said, "Wan'er, listen to what you said. Isn't this just her treating you like a sister? As for who taught you? If you don't do anything wrong, will she scold you?"

Su Qingning immediately said, "Big sister also eats like this. You all heard what Wan'er just said."

Su Wan'er immediately said, "But Third Sister also has her own good points."

Hearing this!

Su Qingning immediately looked at Su Wan'er. Wan'er had never said such words to her before. She immediately looked straight at Su Wan'er and asked, "Tell me?"

Su Wan'er said, "There are too many. I'll write them down for you when I get back!"

Su Qingning nodded solemnly, "Okay!"

Su Wan'er chuckled.

However, a few people on the side looked at Su Qingning with a smile again.

As an older sister, you have been coaxed into this state by your younger sister. What else do you want?

Sitting on the stool, Su Qingning looked at Su Changan and said, "Sister, Li Heng said that there was a major breakthrough in the blueprint you gave him, and he kept shouting that he wanted to go to the palace to see you."

"The drawings I gave you?" Su Changan was stunned. As for the drawings given to Su Liheng, apart from small toys like the Rubik's Cube, the larger ones were textile machines, including a three-spindle spinning wheel and a Jenny textile machine.

After all, I studied history in my previous life, so I know a little about this thing.

I have also seen the drawings.

Su Qingning nodded. "Yeah, he said he could make more money from weaving. He didn't say anything specific, but he was very excited anyway."

When he heard this, Su Changan turned his head and looked over.

Then I saw Su Liheng running over, panting, with a blueprint in his hand.

Looking at Su Liheng, Su Changan's heart skipped a beat. Can you make more money from weaving? Don't even think about selling out three spinning wheels.

After seeing Su Changan's expression, Su Wenqing looked at Su Liheng. There was no need to pretend in front of his family, so the old man looked at the paper in Su Liheng's hand with a puzzled look.

"Greetings, big sister." Su Liheng panted and saluted Su Changan, then saluted Su Wenqing and others.

Then, without waiting for her to catch her breath, she handed the blueprint to Su Changan: "Sister, my people have figured it out! As for these two looms, although they are still preliminary and they are still thinking about improvements, he said they can be improved."

Su Changan took the drawings.

Then he immediately looked at Su Liheng.

Su Liheng immediately said, "Sister, you said that if this thing is invented, our weaving business can double its production. I don't quite understand it, but the person who made it according to your drawings said that it's not just doubled, because the shuttle can make three at once. I don't understand it either, but shouldn't you give me those clothing styles you mentioned at that time? I..."

When Su Liheng said this, Su Wenqing stood up suddenly, walked over and grabbed Su Liheng, "Can you double the cotton cloth production?"

Su Liheng was startled by his grandfather's action, but nodded immediately: "Grandpa, sit down and talk. Your legs and feet are not good. This picture was given to me by my elder sister last year. She asked me to find those who are good at weaving to try. Last year, I opened a weaving business in order to deal in the clothes in the Red Mansion in Dian Jiangchun. There are Li ethnic minority clothes there. After I saw it, I have been dealing in them. Anyway, it doesn't cost much money, so I just kept it. A few days ago..."

Su Wenqing waved his hand: "We'll talk about this later."

The old man was a little excited. After taking the blueprint from Su Changan, he looked down at the textile loom, which was a little messy but still OK. Then he looked at Su Changan and said, "Girl, is it what I think?"

Su Changan was actually a little surprised, after all, he had given it to the Shen Ce Mansion and Su Liheng at the same time.

At that time, Su Changan gave these two looms to Su Liheng after some thought. He thought that the person who invented the three-spindle spinning wheel was Huang Dao Po, an ordinary weaving woman. So he thought that Su Liheng would take over the textile business, so he gave them to him and asked him to find someone to try to make it.

He had forgotten about this matter. After all, there had been no movement from the Shen Ce Mansion. Or perhaps it was because the Shen Ce Mansion had been busy dealing with gunpowder, artillery, and muskets and was too busy to handle it.

But Su Changan didn't take it seriously and thought about asking later.

result

Su Liheng got it out here?

Looking at Su Wenqing's burning gaze, Su Changan nodded: "Grandpa, I can make clothes for the whole world!"

What does it mean to clothe the world?

Literally!

But this will benefit all people and is an unprecedented feat!

Although Daxia looks good now, the real Daxia is what we cannot see.

Why are there snowstorms in winter?

Because we can't afford cotton-padded clothes, if the snow continues for a few more days, a snow disaster will inevitably occur!

This has been the case throughout the dynasties. It’s not that our ancestors didn’t think about how to solve it, but that they couldn’t solve it.

There is really nothing we can do because quilts are in short supply.

But now.

Su Wenqing heard the words "clothing the world".

Su Changan helped Su Wenqing sit down, then continued, "If it's fully developed, it should be able to triple. If one person can increase their daily output from one catty to three catties, cotton cloth production will definitely increase dramatically. Furthermore, it can be used to improve yarn interlacing, color matching, and patterning. Later, silk and cotton cloth with their own patterns can be sold to other countries. What do you think?"

Su Wenqing looked at Su Changan, then lowered his head to look at the blueprint in his hand: "Great question!"

The old man became emotional.

Su Liu and others on the side looked at the old man and Su Changan in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

Su Liheng pursed his lips and said, "Oh my god, grandpa, does this mean that my business can really succeed?"

Immediately, the addresses of the silk shops in the capital appeared in Su Liheng's mind, and he began to look for a silk shop.

We also need to start talking to people from the Western Regions, and this requires a trip to Jiangnan.

Su Liheng has already started making plans.

Su Wenqing looked at the second drawing, which also showed a textile machine.

Su Changan said, "This one isn't as easy to use as the previous one. It needs to be used with other things. It can be mass-produced, but it's very troublesome. This time at the Imperial College, I asked Mu Xu and others to include mathematics and other subjects and recruit students, hoping to produce more of these things. After all, productivity determines national strength. But we can't rush these things. However, the three spinning wheels in front are enough for us now. Take your time, this matter can't be rushed."

The spinning jenny was indeed inferior to the three-spindle spinning wheel.

But the reason why it was better than the three-spindle spinning wheel was that the Jenny loom was equipped with a steam engine, which made it directly automated and no longer required manual labor.

The three-spindle spinning wheel still requires manual labor.

So the Jenny loom needed to be paired with a steam engine.

However, Su Changan also had an idea. If the three-spindle spinning wheel and the Jenny textile machine could be developed, would there be a chance for the steam engine?

After all, if you think about it carefully, there are many skilled craftsmen. Should we issue an edict to recruit talents in this area?

Do it specifically?

After all, the war was over, and the money brought back this time and the gold brought back from Japan made the national treasury very well-off.

At this time, Su Zimu and Su Ziyu also came in. Looking at the scene, they realized something was wrong, so they immediately rushed over.

Su Wenqing looked at the blueprint and nodded, excitedly saying, "Great."

As he spoke, he handed the blueprint to Su Ziyu and the other man, and didn't say much, only saying that it could increase the output of cotton cloth by three times.

Su Zimu and Su Ziyu were immediately shocked when they heard this.

However, when Su Liheng saw the expressions of the two uncles, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister, I have decided which silk shop to buy, but I may not have that much cash on hand. Please talk to my father and ask him to sponsor me a little."

When Su Wenqing heard Su Liheng say this, he laughed and scolded: "You bastard, you think you can make money with such a big treasure?"

Su Liheng: "Ah?"

Su Changan said, "After you have someone make it, go find your teacher, Li Jiulang. You and your sister-in-law will bring the Li people you made to the palace to meet your sister-in-law. Tell her in person about the benefits of this loom. Your sister-in-law will definitely reward you handsomely. She might even give you a piece of land so you can build a farm and make cloth."

Su Liheng blinked, looking confused. How could this even alarm the Emperor's sister-in-law?

You want to give me a piece of land?

Su Liheng started shaking the sieve again. This was not an act. Su Liheng had a great mind for business, but other than that, he was no different from an ordinary person.

The main reason was that he was so focused on making money that he didn't understand anything else. His teacher didn't even teach him how a loom could be involved in the affairs of the imperial court.

but.

Build a farm and make cloth

Can make a lot of money!!

It is the rule of the Su family that political affairs are not discussed at the dinner table.

So even though this matter made Su Wenqing, Su Zimu and Su Ziyu excited, they suppressed it for the time being.

After all, there is something important to do today.

But the three of them suddenly felt relieved.

Your Majesty and Your Majesty have not actually mentioned a word about their new policies to anyone in the court, but from this loom, it can be seen that this is a truly drastic change for Daxia.

No wonder His Majesty ordered shipbuilding in Jiaozhou last year.

He also ordered the Maritime Transport Supervisory Office to train troops, which was a long-awaited move to open up maritime trade.

The small banquet noodles were quickly brought over by Su Zifeng, Su Qinshi, and Su Zhangshi.

Let’s not wait for Su Zhaoxin and the others, everyone knows the reason.

The Zhang family of Qingxiufang saved their son Zhaoxin's life, so Zhaoxin should go there first to accompany them. Even though he returned home at night, no one in his family said anything.

A life-saving favor!

The Su family all knew the seriousness of the matter.

If he had not been afraid that the Zhang family would be frightened, the old man would have waved his hand and brought the orphans and widows to the Su family mansion, and treated them as goddaughters and granddaughters.

There was no more talk of state affairs at the table, and people started chatting about family matters.

Talking about Li Heng and You Li.

Let’s talk about green lemon again.

but

No matter what's being discussed at the table.

While Su Ziyu was smiling, he was putting food into Su Changan's bowl. He was more diligent than Su Zimu.

Moreover, everyone saw that there was more heartache in Su Ziyu's eyes when he looked at Su Changan.

This is not Su Ziyu's fault.

The main reason is that I just found out about that incident and I feel sad.

Then I saw the story of the loom and thought about how this kid worked so hard for Daxia and made it look like this, but what happened to him?

He did this for Daxia and the people, and ended up sacrificing himself!

How can it not make people feel sad!

Everyone at the table looked at Su Ziyu strangely, including Su Changan himself.

Even want to eat river shrimp.

Su Ziyu took a small bowl, peeled a bowl, and brought it to Su Changan.

Su Qingning saw it and said, "Dad, I want one too."

Then Su Ziyu picked up two shrimps and put them in her bowl.

Su Qingning was unhappy again!

Mmmmm!

Wan'er is like this!

My dad is like this too!

You only want to pamper your elder sister, right?

Su Changan was a little flattered. He looked at his second uncle in confusion and thanked him.

But when he looked at Su Zimu and Su Liushi, he wondered what was going on!

Naturally, everyone was puzzled.

But Su Ziyu didn't care about the looks of other people at the table, he just looked at the eldest girl.

Ouch

It is such a blessing for our Great Xia to have such a good queen.

that is

that is

Why aren't you a man?

Su Ziyu looked at Su Changan, who looked like a woman, and sighed deeply in his heart.

The strange behavior of the second son of the Su family at the dinner table made everyone confused.

But in the afternoon.

Then I saw Su Zifan and Hong Shiyi Niang coming out of the palace.

And with them was Su Zhaoxin.

only

One of Su Zifan's eye sockets was bruised, which clearly showed that he had been beaten.

And it doesn't look like the beating he received today.

Although everyone was confused, they did not ask and instead looked at Su Zhaoxin.

Seeing Su Zhaoxin, Su Changan smiled and said nothing. He had become much thinner and darker, but his height had not grown much faster.

But boys.

Develops relatively late.

As Su Zhaoxin watched everyone clasping their fists and saluting, his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

Especially after seeing her grandfather pay his respects, she suddenly threw herself into Su Liu's arms.

Su Liu's eyes were moist as she looked at Su Zhaoxin carefully, as if looking for any injuries.

Su Zifan hesitated for a moment, but still whispered to Su Zifeng, "Why didn't anyone ask me how I got injured?"

Su Zifeng laughed and said, "Did you get into trouble again and get beaten by Eleventh Lady?"

Su Zifan immediately shook his head.

Su Wan'er was sitting in Shiyi Niang's arms at that moment. Seeing her parents again, Su Wan'er had been hiding her excitement in her heart.

However, when he heard this, he looked at his mother in confusion.

Eleventh Lady shook her head gently: "It's your father's own problem."

Su Liushi was relieved when she confirmed that Su Zhaoxin had no new injuries.

Su Zhaoxin swore confidently: "Aunt, I'm not seriously injured. There's no need to fight with the musket. Just hold it and shoot. I'm invincible!"

Su Liu gently hit Su Zhaoxin on the forehead, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Su Zhaoxin grinned and looked at Su Changan.

Looking at Su Changan, Su Zhaoxin blinked his eyes. He naturally knew that Su Changan was not his biological sister, but there was no problem. She was his biological sister, so why should he kiss her?

My two elder sisters like to educate me!

Just looking at Su Changan, Su Zhaoxin pursed his lips: "Sister!"

Su Changan smiled.

Su Zhaoxin took the bag off his back, put it on the table and said, "As usual, I brought gifts for everyone. This time they are very valuable!"

Hearing this, everyone remembered the first time this kid came back, with scars on his face, and used his meager military pay to buy gifts for everyone.

Su Wenqing looked at Su Zifan.

Su Zifan said, "This guy killed a king with a single gun, and luckily, he entered the city and caught the fleeing prince, who was carrying these things. According to the order of our Grand Marshal Zhao, 80% of the captured items must be handed over, and the remaining 20% ​​can be kept. This is the remaining 20%."

clattering

The bundle was full of gold and silver jewelry.

These are all things from the Western Regions.

Everyone's expression was stunned.

Although there are not many of them, they look very finely made.

Su Zhaoxin patted his chest and said, "You can choose for yourselves! Anyway, I'll bring more when I come back next time! And as for the rest of your gifts, I'll send them to you later. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

As he spoke, Su Zhaoxin took out two boxes from another bag, one large and one small.

After opening.

One is a seal made of pure gold.

The other one was a crown-like object, with many gems of various colors inlaid on the gold object, especially the red diamond-like object in the middle.

Even though the Su family was knowledgeable and experienced, they were still stunned when they saw it for the first time.

Su Zhaoxin handed the crown to Su Changan: "Here, big sister, this is yours. It's a pity you're not a man. Otherwise, if you changed the shape of it, you would look very beautiful on it! I snatched it from you specially."

Then he held up the pure gold seal and said, "This is for your majesty to give to your sister-in-law. It was used by the King of Medog. I found it. When Marshal Zhao heard that I wanted to give it to my sister-in-law, he said he would give it to me."

Su Zifan added, "He indeed seized these items. He destroyed many countries this time and looted a lot of things. General Zhao heard that he was going to give these two items to His Majesty, the Empress, and the eldest girl, so he let him bring them back himself."

Everyone at the table understood what was going on. If it wasn't for the eldest girl, the king's things were probably meant to be given directly to His Majesty.

only

Everyone looked at Su Zhaoxin, heard that more gifts had been prepared for them, and then looked at the jewelry on the table.

Su Linhan smiled lightly and looked at her dark-skinned brother. It turned out that what the book said about a man going through a lot of things and meeting someone again would be like a stranger was true.

Zhaoxin is really different from before.

Su Zhaoxin looked at everyone proudly: "Let me tell you, I'm really powerful now! General Zhao said that when I turn sixteen and leave the Children's Army, I will be his personal guard!"

Su Wenqing reached out and rubbed his grandson's head. "Even if his achievements were great, he took so many things, how could he convince the public?"

Hong Shiyi Niang kept her head down and looked at Su Wan'er, as if she was hiding something.

Su Zifan chuckled, "He's a very capable guy. He's done a great job. Many of my colleagues give him a thumbs up."

Su Changan glanced at Su Zifan, then at Su Zhaoxin. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Is the injury on your back completely healed?"

Su Zifan smiled helplessly when he heard it, but it was okay, everyone would know it sooner or later.

Hong Shiyi Niang's expression was indifferent.

Su Wan'er looked at her mother and looked at Su Zhaoxin with a worried look on her face. What injury? Is brother injured again? Isn't he not injured?

Su Zhaoxin curled his lips: "Sister, I thought we'd talk about this later. My aunt is pregnant. And it's embarrassing. It's not like he got injured on the battlefield."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Su Zhaoxin.

Su Zifan said: "It wasn't on the battlefield, but he did it to save people. It was also because of this that everyone looked at this brat with new eyes. That's why he was able to take so many treasures without anyone being jealous."

Su Wenqing frowned and looked at Su Zifan: "What's going on?"

Mrs. Su Liu looked at Su Zhaoxin even more carefully. She had helped take care of Su Zhaoxin since he was still a baby. She had raised the child by herself and the relationship between them was no longer that of aunt and nephew.

Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Liushi's gaze, then at everyone else's, and said awkwardly, "We were practicing throwing palm bombs, and someone got nervous and threw the wrong one. I went to save them, and my back got blown to pieces."

As he said that, he quickly waved his hands: "It's been a few months, it's all better now."

Su Zifan had a proud look on his face. "He rushed over to save people. He saved four people that time. What a bastard. He's never a good person. That time, everyone else ran away, but he was the only one who rushed over."

As he spoke, Su Zifan walked over and took off Su Zhaoxin's shirt.

I saw a very hideous wound right behind Su Zhaoxin. The wound was so big that it almost covered his entire back, and it was red. It was healed, but it was obvious that it had only healed for a short time and had just begun to heal.

And a large area of ​​it was burned alive.

Su Wan'er grabbed her mother tightly with a look of surprise on her face.

But he found that his mother was holding him with her head down, her body trembling slightly, and she didn't even dare to look at Su Zhaoxin's injuries.

Su Liu, Su Qin, and Su Zhang all stood up at once and looked at the scary scar.

The others no longer had smiles on their faces. They all stood up and looked at the big wound on the little person's back.

Su Liushi's tears were already streaming down her face, and she touched the wound with trembling hands.

When Su Zhaoxin saw this, he quickly reached out to wipe it for Su Liushi, and said with a smile: "I won't lie to you, it hurt at the beginning, but it doesn't hurt anymore, so there's nothing to say, it's not as good as my brother Huzi, brother Lu, sister Xiaowu and others."

Hong Shiyi Niang is holding Su Wan'er.

Thinking of Zhao Xin in his arms, gritting his teeth and holding back tears, he smiled and said to himself, "Mom, it doesn't hurt! Hey!"
