Muchuan spent nearly a day and finally told the craftsmen all the difficulties that might be encountered in making a steam engine.
These craftsmen also loved this trip so much that they almost filled up their entire notebooks without eating.
After finishing the work, Muchuan was not stingy and invited everyone to have a good meal and drink at the Home Inn.
However, what Muchuan didn't expect was that everyone only ate but refused to drink even a drop of wine.
According to them, drinking alcohol will affect their thinking. After they returned home, they had to stay up all night to read and thoroughly absorb the knowledge in their notebooks.
Such enthusiasm and dedication also awe-inspiring Muchuan.
If nothing else goes wrong, these craftsmen present will become the first backbone elites of the Mu family workshop.
After dinner, Muchuan returned to his house and found that Xue Rengui and Gao Kan had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, they were both a little nervous.
"Master, you are finally back!"
Gao Kan said eagerly: "A group of people came here this afternoon. They were sneaky. I wanted to drive them away, but they said they were your friends, Master, and they said they were here to bring what they should get."
Hearing this, Muchuan was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
He is probably one of Li Chengdao's subordinates.
Xue Rengui said in a deep voice from the side: "Master, my subordinates have ordered swordsmen and axemen to ambush in the courtyard. If these people make any move, they can be killed on the spot."
Muchuan smiled and shook his head, "Don't be nervous, these people are really my friends."
They are not friends. Muchuan still has some uses for Li Chengdao, so there is no need to break up with Li Chengdao now.
Li Chengdao thought he was taking advantage of Muchuan, but he didn't know that his identity as a hunter had been reversed from the beginning.
Later, Muchuan entered the hall.
Sure enough, a group of people with their faces covered were already among them.
"You all go down."
Muchuan immediately evacuated his servants.
After everyone was gone, the leader of the group stood up.
He took off his mask, revealing a familiar face.
Muchuan knew him, he was one of Li Chengdao's personal guards, and he was undoubtedly a super master.
"So it's you. By the way, I still don't know what you call me, brother?"
Muchuan greeted with a smile.
The man frowned and said coldly: "Just call me An."
"So it's Brother An." Muchuan smiled and said, "I wonder what Brother An wants to see me for this time?"
"Asking even though you know it."
He said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty sent me to get something."
"Oh oh oh!"
Muchuan patted his head and said with a look of sudden realization, "Look, I actually forgot about this!"
The so-called thing is naturally the aid funds Muchuan promised to Li Chengdao.
It can be seen that Li Chengdao seems to be quite short of money. He just came back and sent someone to ask for money.
Naturally, Muchuan would not be stingy about this.
Muchuan still understands the principle of spending a small amount of money to make a big profit.
Muchuan said: "Brother An, don't worry, I have already prepared the money. Brother An, wait a moment, I will get it right away."
After a while, Muchuan came back with a thick stack of banknotes.
"There is a total of one million silver here. Brother An, please be sure to hand it over to Your Majesty."
An took the banknote and looked a little confused.
This is one million. I didn't expect Muchuan to take it out so easily. It felt like taking some change.
Not only An, but the others were also staring eagerly at the pile of banknotes.
Even if they can get one of them, they can suddenly become rich. It would be a lie to say that they are not excited.
An An swallowed his saliva and waved to others.
Someone else quickly brought over a locked box.
An locked the banknotes into the box and breathed a sigh of relief.
With so much money in his hand, he really felt like he was being pressed down by a mountain.
"Mu Shangshu, your loyalty has been proven and your life has been protected."
An threw a bottle of pills to Muchuan, which was the antidote used to suppress the erysipelas poisoning of broken intestines.
Muchuan naturally took it with excitement on his face. Even though he didn't need this thing at all, the performance still had to be performed.
Just when An and his group were about to leave, Muchuan pulled An back.
"What else is there?" An An stared at Muchuan coldly.
Muchuan laughed dryly and took out a few more banknotes.
"Brother An, you and your brothers can use this money to drink. It's quite hard to go out to do errands. Don't wrong yourself."
Saying that, Muchuan directly stuffed the bank note into An's hand, regardless of whether An would accept it or not.
After being stunned for a moment, he glanced at the banknotes in his hand. There were about ten of them, each with a denomination of one hundred taels.
One thousand taels is not a small amount.
You know, in this era, one tael of silver is enough to cover a farm family's expenses for nearly a year.
An looked at Muchuan again, with a little more appreciation in his eyes, "Mu Shangshu is quite right. Don't worry, I will say a few nice words for you in front of His Majesty."
Afterwards, Muchuan sent An and his party away.
After the group of people completely disappeared from his eyes, the smile on Muchuan's face disappeared instantly and turned into a chill.
"Old Xue."
"My subordinate is here!"
"You personally lead people to follow these people. Remember, you must not be exposed. You would rather be lost than exposed."
"yes!"
After arranging this, Muchuan called Di Renjie again.
"teacher!"
Di Renjie arrived quickly. He had now put on the clothes that represented his identity as a butler. Although they were children's clothes, they looked a bit nondescript.
Muchuan nodded and said, "How are things going?"
"The location of the newspaper office has been selected, pencils and notebooks have been put into formal production, and a batch of trial units have been sent to Longliqi." Di Renjie reported truthfully.
“What’s the feedback like using the pencil and notebook?”
“Quite brilliant!”
Time goes back half a day.
Following Muchuan's order, Di Renjie sent a batch of pencils and notebooks to Longliqi, and then ordered the store clerk to yell at them desperately.
When they learned that Longliqi had released a new product, everyone in the city was a little excited and came over to take a look.
After all, Longliqi rarely releases new products, and when they do, they are definitely high-quality products.
A dense crowd gathered in front of Longrich's door.
Everyone stared curiously at Di Renjie and the booth in front of him.
"Whose child is that? Why is he wearing the clothes of the Mu family's butler?"
"You know, the Mu family's affairs have nothing to do with us, just look at the products."
"That's weird. Longliqi is planning to sell books? There is also a hairless pen next to it. What does this mean?"
Just when everyone's curiosity reached its peak, Di Renjie finally started performing.
He cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, my name is Di Renjie, and I am the temporary butler of the Mu family."
"Who cares who you are! Hurry up and introduce the product!"
"He is just a little kid after all, and he can't even tell the difference between priorities!"
Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Di Renjie was also a little dazed.
