Chapter 564 The end of the year
"One price, 10 taels of silver." Fourteen said.

"How many?" Mei Xingzhi asked.

"One."

"...Are there drawings attached?" Mei Xingzhi made the last effort.

"Young Master Mei, if you bring blueprints, it will be a different price."

Although I know that their purpose of buying spinning machines is not to really buy machines, but to take them back and study how to make machines by themselves.But if you know it, you know it, and it is impossible to hand it off.

Although the structure of the spinning machine itself is not very complicated, Xiao Yan specially added an anti-theft device when modifying it, so it still takes a certain amount of effort to start from the dismantling of the finished product to imitate it.

"...If you want to buy blueprints, how much do you need?" Mei Xingzhi asked after a moment of silence.

"No amount." Fourteen said, "I don't sell blueprints, only equipment."

"10 taels a piece, no kidding."

Listening to this, Meng Changhuai was about to burst into joy.

The princess said that she used the spinning machine to earn military expenses, and it turned out that she could still earn so much.There is no end to learning with the princess.

The officials from Huainan Road who came with them were bitter in their hearts. A spinning machine cost 10 taels, and the Princess of Henan really dared to ask for it.

This is still relying on Master Mei's face, how much would it cost without him?

"Deal." Mei Xingzhi looked at Fourteen, "I'm booking five sets."

"Excellent." Fourteen smiled openly, "I'll draw up the contract later, and you should prepare the price of one machine as a deposit. The five spinning machines will be delivered after a year, and the final payment will be made at that time."

"Princess, since I have come here with great fanfare, if I can't take one home, how can I explain to my prince?" Mei Xingzhi said, "I can pay half of the deposit first and take a spinning machine away. The next four will be delivered after the next year."

"Master Meng, how long will it take for the fastest one in the hands of the masters to be built?"

"It is expected...to take about half a month." Meng Changhuai said, "If Mr. Mei wants it, I am afraid it will have to wait until the end of the year."

It wasn't there just now, but it was available immediately after giving more than 20 taels of silver.How difficult is it to build this spinning machine? How long will it take to build one?The officials of Huainan Road only dared to slander.

"Then I'll wait until this one is built." Mei Xingzhi said, "After the spinning machine is finished, 25 taels of silver will be delivered."

……

It was a one-off price deal, and the business negotiation was very pleasant.

Meng Changhuai hosted a banquet for Shishi at home, and he was by his side to entertain Mei Xingzhi.

"In the eyes of the concubine, doesn't the lower official look like a lamb sent to your door to beg you to slaughter?" After finishing the official business, Mei Xingzhi and Shisi got along much more easily.

"How do you know what's on my mind?" Fourteen looked at him in surprise.

Yin Zhu, Mei Zhixue and Song Guo couldn't help laughing.

"It's not you who paid the money, so I don't feel guilty about it." Fourteen said, "And seeing that you promised so readily, I still regret that it was less."

"Then I would like to thank Wang Hao's subordinates for showing mercy!" Mei Xingzhi said, "I can't do business without letting me go back."

"We're all friends, we should, we should."

"Brother, if you hadn't come here, my aunt might not have sold the spinning machine." The meaning of Mei Zhixue's words was very clear: just be content.

"Which side are you from?" Mei Xingzhi glared at the little heartless boy, "I'm your own brother."

"Because we are close, Zhixue kindly reminded you." Fourteen pulled Mei Zhixue, "Otherwise, no one will care about you."

"Okay, okay, you two are on the same side, I can't say anything about you."

After another burst of laughter, Mei Xingzhi asked Xiao Yan: "What is Ah Yan doing recently?"

"In Duji Province." Fourteenth said, "I went to the army to practice with the three of them, Ah Cheng and Ah Lin."

"Going to join the army?" Mei Xingzhi was surprised, "Ah Yan is very talented, is it a pity to join the army?"

Xiao Yan is the only real genius that Mei Xingzhi has ever seen. Every moment he is wasted is the loss of the world.

"It doesn't matter if it's a pity or not. If he wants to go, I'll let him go." Fourteen said.

"I just think that with his talent, it would be more worth spending time on other things." Mei Xingzhi said, "You know him better than me, and you know what I mean."

"I know." Fourteen said, "but his life is his own, not anyone else's. He has the right to make decisions. I just hope that he can do everything from his heart and be happy, regardless of his age."

"But now he is the eldest son of Henan Palace, in the future..."

"Let's talk about the future." Fourteen said, "It's still a long time, let's talk about the present first."

"Here, take your seat."

……

The workshop for manufacturing spinning machines was in Songzhou, so Mei Xingzhi returned to Huangliang County, Songzhou after signing the contract with Shisi.All the Huainan officials who came with him were sent back to the silver by him, and he lived alone in the old house that he had not returned for a long time.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Yuqiu and the eldest grandson of the Yu family got married, and invitations were delivered to the family.

Mei Xingzhi has lived in seclusion since his return, and hasn't been out of the house for nearly ten days.The old housekeeper thought that he would not be there in person this time, but unexpectedly he agreed.

"I have known Qilang for more than ten years, and his eldest daughter is engaged. Since I live in Huangliang, I have no choice but to go."

Fourteen also rushed back from Huazhou that day, bringing Yin Zhu, Mei Zhixue and Song Guo with them.

Xiangmai loves to play, and took Mei Zhixue and Song Guo together to block the door of the bride's boudoir with a stick, waiting for the groom to come and "make a son-in-law".

Xiao Yuhe also got married in Zhuangzi, and the spacious courtyard accommodated wealthy businessmen, officials and celebrities from the entire Henan Province.

The ladies of the Xiao family are too powerful, and the hurdle of having a son-in-law made the groom very difficult.But everyone held their sense of proportion and let the groom pick him up at the auspicious time.

All the excitement and jubilation were taken away by the welcoming team, and Xiao Qilang and his wife wiped away their tears.

Seeing their father and mother crying, Xiao Yuqiu and Xiao Yushang also felt sad, and burst into tears: "Sister, don't let sister go, sister come back!"

This quarrel brought back the tears of Xiao Qilang and his wife in an instant, and the two hurriedly hugged the other to coax the child.All the guests couldn't help laughing.

"So it's better to have a son." Xiang Mai said to Mei Zhixue and Song Guo, "After giving birth to a son, there will be an extra daughter-in-law. After giving birth to a daughter, you can only send it out to someone else's family to be a daughter-in-law. You two...ah, no, you should It's a pine cone. When you get married in the future, your stepmother will never bear it."

"As for you." She said to Mei Zhixue again, "You are the happiest married fourteen, after all you are marrying into her family."

The two little girls were ashamed by what she said.

"Ayan?"

Suddenly hearing Xiang Mai's surprised voice, both of them thought she was teasing someone again.

Then came the shouts from the surrounding people: "Join the prince, see the prince."

Mei Zhixue and Song Guo immediately raised their heads and saw that Zuo Qiuyue was the leader, and everyone was walking towards them, all dressed in strong attire.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Yuanheng, everyone came back to celebrate the reunion year.
