Chapter Fifteen: Thank you Mr. Qin for thinking about the people
Vertical sun.
The morning light slowly opened the curtain.
Today, Qin Wenyuan knew just by the color of the sky that it would definitely be a good day!
Just at this moment, there was a "creak" and the door of Tianzi Room 1 was gently pushed open.
Qin Wenyuan turned towards the door and saw his wife walking in with food.
He smiled helplessly, stepped forward and said, "Madam, what, are you hungry now?"
"I remember that this restaurant delivers food to your door. Why did you go down to get it so early in the morning?"
Chang Le smiled faintly, "Aren't you afraid that my husband is hungry? Today, my husband, you have to compete with Mr. Lin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"As a wife, I can only help you with your diet and daily life to keep you in the best condition."
Chang Le said, put down the food and began to serve Qin Wenyuan.
Basically, the better dishes and meatier dishes were all given to him.
Qin Wenyuan was touched by what he saw.
"This... a battle of wits and courage is probably out of the question. After all, Mr. Lin is quite friendly, so don't worry." Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
Chang Le curled his lips and said, "Husband, you are the only one who is not afraid of Master Lin's pressure."
"I was frightened by Mr. Lin's questioning tone yesterday. Only you, husband, can remain as usual."
"Sometimes, I really wonder, husband, are you an ordinary person and are you lying to me?"
"After all, ordinary people can't be that calm when facing Master Lin."
The voice fell.
Qin Wenyuan was said to be extremely embarrassed.
He can't say that since he comes from the future thousands of years in the future, he is not afraid of the pressure of the hierarchy, right?
"Ahem, it may vary from person to person. Madam, let's eat." Qin Wenyuan hurriedly changed the subject.
Fortunately, Changle didn't pursue the matter, smiled and continued to serve his meal.
This morning, both Qin Wenyuan and his wife were in optimal condition.
…………
It's noon.
Qin Wenyuan took Changle to visit the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry again.
Compared with yesterday, when they entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry today, the yamen at the door did not need to report anything and let them in.
Inside, Lin Youwei and a group of officials from the Ministry of Works came over immediately.
"Master Qin is here, come and invite me inside." Lin Youwei was very respectful.
For those who don’t know, they might think that Qin Wenyuan is also a big shot on par with Lin Youwei.
Faced with such a great gift, Qin Wenyuan has always remained calm.
Next to him, Changle was also observing his husband.
She was once a princess, so she didn't care about such gifts.
But her husband Qin Wenyuan performed even better than her!
This made Chang Le feel more and more that her husband was very extraordinary.
At least...it may have been glorious.
Inside the lobby of the Ministry of Industry.
Qin Wenyuan and Lin Youwei sat in the first seat, and everyone else, including Changle, sat in the second seat.
As soon as he sat down, Qin Wenyuan said directly: "Mr. Lin, to make a long story short, I wonder what price the Ministry of Industry can offer me for the formula of Luban Lock?"
Forehead?
this……
So direct?
Lin Youwei was in a daze. He was planning to make tea for Qin Wenyuan and then have a meal to discuss it.
It turns out that the other party didn’t have that intention at all!
After thinking about it, Lin Youwei pointed out three fingers in some embarrassment, "Mr. Qin, the national treasury has been tight recently, and our Ministry of Industry can only come up with this number for the time being."
"30,000 taels?" Changle couldn't help blurting out.
As soon as she finished speaking, she blushed and lowered her head.
This kind of situation is really not the place for women to talk. Just now it was a transgression.
Qin Wenyuan saw Changle's shyness, smiled, covered Changle's small hands with his big hands, and then looked at Lin Youwei.
I saw that Lin Youwei still looked embarrassed, even a little annoyed.
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lin, could it be 3,000 taels?"
Lin Youwei was stunned for a moment and did not dare to look at Qin Wenyuan.
Immediately, he sighed and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin, the Ministry of Industry can only offer this price for the time being."
After saying that, Lin Youwei felt a sense of sadness.
Luban lock, this is Luban lock!
From ancient times, the Luban Lock has been passed down to people today!
As long as the Luban lock is used in the building, it will be unbreakable!
It would be an understatement to say it is a priceless treasure.
The 30,000 taels that Changle mentioned just now, from the perspective of others, he would think the price was too low.
But there is no way, the Tang Dynasty is too poor now. It is completely impoverished.
Even the current His Majesty Li Shimin does not dare to squander it.
It is very rare to be able to spend three thousand taels to purchase a piece of technology.
Lin Youwei sighed, "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, the Ministry of Industry can't give you a suitable price. We can..."
"Deal." Qin Wenyuan interrupted.
Um??
make a deal??
Lin Youwei was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.
"Qin... Mr. Qin, are you telling the truth?" His voice was trembling.
Qin Wenyuan did not answer, but nodded.
In the early days of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, three thousand taels of silver was not a lot.
According to records, during the Tang Dynasty, if a family of three had enough food and clothing, they would only need a few taels of silver a year.
It is conceivable that three thousand taels is really a lot. If converted, it is enough for him and his wife Changle to live a carefree life.
Chang Le on the side was a little dissatisfied.
Luban lock technology only sells so much, if she wants it, she will never sell it!
But this was her husband Qin Wenyuan's decision, and she could only feel helpless.
The next moment, Qin Wenyuan's words made her almost faint from anger.
"Sir Lin, since the Ministry of Industry is in difficulty, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I should do my part."
"I don't have much to give. Just give 1,000 taels to the work department based on your three thousand taels. I only charge 2,000 taels and that's enough."
Qin Wenyuan talked eloquently.
but!
If you don’t say anything shocking, you will die!
Not only Chang Le was stunned, but everyone else present was also stunned.
Is there such a good thing in the world?!
Lin Youwei's mouth twitched, "Mr. Qin, are you sure? Don't think about it?"
Qin Wenyuan shook his head, "No need, this is my duty as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. I will give you all the formulas of Lu Ban Suo in the evening."
"I also hope that Mr. Lin can use Luban locks to improve the craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level."
"Let the architectural standards of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, be raised to a new level, so that we no longer have to worry about the wind, sun, wind and rain."
I heard this.
Lin Youwei took a deep breath and stood up solemnly, "Master Qin, on behalf of all the people in the world, thank you!"
The officials behind were also sharp-eyed and stood up.
"Thank you Mr. Qin for your generosity!!"
Their voices are as loud as bells and are extremely contagious.
The thanks from the officials also made Changle's face look better, but not too much.
After all, if you lose a thousand taels for no reason, who can be happy?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally she secretly pinched Qin Wenyuan's waist with her little hand.
The force is not strong and will not cause pain, but it can let Qin Wenyuan know that his wife is very uncomfortable!
