Chen Da came to him and reported the number of woolen looms he had recently made.

Chen Da: "We have made 50 machines in total these days, and we have made improvements according to what you said before. By adjusting the gears on these machines, we can choose to weave different things. This is for knitting socks, this isThose who weave gloves, this is the one who weaves clothes..."

Looking at his demonstration, Luo Zining felt that it was very delicate, and it was several times better than the improved machine Chen Da showed him last time.

This machine is exquisite, but it is simple to use. It can be operated by a single person. It can weave wool products very quickly, and a pair of socks can be knitted in a while.

During this time, Chen Da took in a dozen more apprentices, and arranged jobs according to the intelligence of each apprentice. Some of them were just doing odd jobs, some could grind gears for him, and some with high savvy would study the machine together with him.manufacture.

They didn't do anything during this time, they worked overtime every day and made fifty machines.

Although winter is coming soon, it must be too late to make winter clothes now, but Luo Zining thinks that this year he can only make woolen socks to test the waters.

Wool socks are not only needed in the north, but he thinks they can be used in the south as well.

He had been to the south for a while before, and it was still a bit cold indoors in winter, so it was quite appropriate to stay indoors wearing woolen socks.

They can wear woolen socks in the shoes locally, which are more windproof and warm.

Looking at these machines, Luo Zining was extremely excited. The textile factory was finally able to make a profit.

"Chen Da, you did a good job. Next, you can continue to make more of this machine. Fifty machines are not enough. You need at least one or two hundred machines. But don't worry too much. Don't work overtime every day. It will hurt you."Eyes, if your body is exhausted, who will help me with the work in the future." Luo Zining patted him on the shoulder, and looked at Chen Da with admiration. At first, he looked at Chen Da honestly, thinking that he could do physical work, I didn't expect him to be so flexible and smart, and he would never judge people by their appearances in the future.

Although Chen Da is outstanding in his work, he is still simple in character. When the princess praised him, his face turned red, "Don't worry, princess, we will pay attention to rest."

"It was agreed to open a factory for you and let you be the factory manager, but the medicinal material factory and the dyeing factory were built first, but you don't have to worry, the factory that was agreed to be given to you will definitely be given to you. This year is too late.When the weather gets warmer next year, I will immediately ask someone to build the factory for you, and this year you can work in the palace first." Luo Zining said.

"It's good to be in the palace." Chen Da felt that it was very convenient to do anything in the palace without going out.

"It will be inconvenient if there are too many people in the future. After all, this mansion is a place for people to live. At that time, it is not impossible to let you and the old craftsmen jointly open a factory. Let them also recruit more apprentices and build the factory more and more.The bigger the better, and since you are also relatives now, it is more at ease to open a factory together." Luo Zining said.

Chen Da nodded, "When I was building the machine, I needed his help in many places."

"By the way, speaking of the old craftsman's family, I remembered. Your younger brother has been married for so long. When did you get married? Didn't you say you have someone you like last time?" Luo Zining asked him: "DevelopmentHow is it? If it’s good, then hurry up and get married a year ago, and I will also give you your slave status.”

"I've been busy working on the machine these days, and I haven't had time to get in touch with her." Chen Da said very embarrassedly.

"You haven't said a word to that girl since you told me last time, have you?" Luo Zining was shocked, how could he marry a wife like this?

"En." Chen Da said very embarrassedly.

"What a girl needs is emotional companionship. If you like her but don't even say a word to her, how can you chase after her?" Luo Zining had a headache.Go to work, you also do some work for others, who is that girl? A local? There are more men than women here, as long as she is a woman of the right age, she is very popular. If you don’t hold on tight, the girl will be killed.People took it away.

"It's a local, but..." Chen Da stopped before he finished speaking, and he didn't know what to say with a silly smile.

"But what? The family doesn't agree with you? Let me tell you, you have to hurry up. Recently, many workers in the brick factory winery have married. There are only so many girls in the city, and almost all of them are married to people in the factory.It's gone." Luo Zining recently heard Chen Er and Boss Cheng report to him that 30 to 40 people in the factory have recently gotten married, not only local women of the right age, but even widows are married, he is afraid that Chen Da will slow down, his beloved girl is already married.

"She's not a girl from the city, she's..." Da Chen scratched his head, "She's a girl from our palace."

"In the palace? The maid in the palace? Who is it?" Luo Zining asked curiously.

It so happened that Zhao Xiaoyu came over at this time, and Chen Da hurried away blushing.

Seeing Chen Da's reaction, Luo Zining could tell at a glance that Chen Da had a crush on Zhao Xiaoyu at this moment!

But Zhao Xiaoyu is indeed beautiful. When he bought Zhao Xiaoyu back, he felt that this girl was pretty and had big eyes.This kind of heroine has developed in the direction of the heroic heroine in the costume drama.

She has a bold personality and an aggressive aura, and she is not in the same style as Chen Da.

However, the husband and wife do not necessarily need to have the same level of appearance and personality, they still need to complement each other. For example, everyone says that he is gentle, but Huo Lingzhi is ruthless.He made a stark contrast.

Maybe Zhao Xiaoyu and Chen Da can complement each other's personalities.

But Chen Da seems to be five or six years older than Zhao Xiaoyu, is this too old?

He thought of himself again, he was already twenty-five years old before crossing, and he was three years older than Huo Lingzhi, he was still not a younger brother in front of Huo Lingzhi, and his age didn't seem to have anything to do with his maturity.

He scratched his hair irritably, why did he always think about him and Huo Lingzhi, even though he and Huo Lingzhi were married, it wasn't that kind of relationship...

Zhao Xiaoyu came in and saw that he was so irritable, "Princess, what's bothering you? Can I help?"

"Ah, it's okay..." Luo Zining glanced at Chen Da who had walked away, and asked her, "What do you think of Chen Da?"

"Did he make you angry? I'll whip him right away." Zhao Xiaoyu immediately rolled up his sleeves and chased after him.

"No, no, he's very powerful. Take a look." Luo Zining showed him the machine that Chen Da brought over, "Put the wool here, and turn the handle to knit the wool."

"It's quite powerful." Zhao Xiaoyu felt complicated when he saw this machine, "Then what did you mean by that just now?"

"I'm just asking casually to see what your impression of him is. He usually doesn't say anything, and I don't know what he likes. I still want to reward him with something, but I can't do it." Luo Zining didn't say anything directly.Telling Chen Da's thoughts about Zhao Xiaoyu is to test Zhao Xiaoyu's thoughts.

"You've stumped me, and I don't know." Zhao Xiaoyu nodded angrily: "I haven't talked to him much since I entered the mansion."

"Huh?" Luo Zining was dumbfounded, he didn't say anything, how do you like it?This catches up to death and can't catch up.

"Really, he is so boring. When I talk to him, he doesn't pay much attention to me. At most, he will say yes." Zhao Xiaoyu talked with Chen Er a lot before, and there was no relationship between them.The relationship between a man and a woman is like good friends. They chat and play cards when they have nothing to do. Now that Chen Er is married, Xiaoju has a good relationship with her. They walk around for a long time, but they don't have any impression of Chen Da. "YouJust ask Chen Er, he must know his brother well."

"I also said to introduce him to someone and let him get married. Do you have someone you fancy? Do you want to get married? I will also allocate a yard for you so that you can find someone to marry into the palace." Luo Zining asked her.

"I really have it." Zhao Xiaoyu is not a coy person, he admitted it openly, "I am, I think the teacher who taught us how to read and write is good."

"Mr. who taught you how to read and write?" Luo Zining was startled. Aren't those gentlemen who taught you to read and write the charming men he brought back from the brothel?

One of those men is more delicate than the other, and their buttocks are still up. No matter how you look at it, they look like seduction. If Zhao Xiaoyu is with any of them, it's like the fourth love.

"One of them, Mr. Zhao, is fair-looking, bookish, gentle, and has the same surname as me. What kind of fate is this.

Every time I encounter something I don’t understand, he will teach me very patiently, but he doesn’t seem to like me very much. I have nothing to bring him some food and drink, but he always refuses."Zhao Xiaoyu sighed in distress, "This man's mind is too difficult to understand."

Luo Zining: "...Are you sure he's straight?"

"What straight man?" Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't understand what he was saying.

"That's right, are you sure he likes women?" Luo Zining asked him.

"I don't know." Zhao Xiaoyu knew that Mr. Zhao came from a brothel before, but he didn't know what he did.

"Let me help you ask." Luo Zining sighed, "If he doesn't like women, don't be sad, there are many fair and clean men in this world, and I will help you choose them later."

"I don't like fair and clean men, but I think he's pretty good." Zhao Xiaoyu looked like a little girl in love, and remembered something while talking, "I forgot, I came to see you for something,The previous Ren Yazi came again, he brought a lot of people this time, let you pick and choose, Chen Bo has already checked the people he brought over there, let me ask you to go over and make a decision."

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Luo Zining happened to be digging potatoes and harvesting corn recently, and a newcomer came, which saved him a lot of energy.

This time Ren Yazi brought more people than the previous two times, and this time Ren Yazi did not come alone, he also brought a few people to help, leading more than two hundred people like pulling animalsCome and sell.

Although there are many people, they are all carefully selected. Ren Yazi knows that he is giving someone to the palace, so he can't be fooled, otherwise his life will be lost. The last time Chu Liu in Lincheng heard that he was killed by the prince, heThe family members have escaped, but the government is still looking for his family members across the country. Such a big battle is full of deterrence, and people dare not fool Luo Zining.

Moreover, every time Luo Zining made a move, he was very generous. As long as he liked the person he brought, he would buy it directly without haggling. In order to continue this business for a long time, he naturally did not dare to fool Luo Zining.

Ren Yazi flattered and said to Luo Zining, "I haven't come here for so long, just to select someone who can be used by the palace, and the price must be higher than before."

He was cautious when he said it, fearing that Luo Zining would not agree, Luo Zining asked him the price, it was a bit more expensive than before, but not everyone raised the price uniformly, some were as thin as last time, orChildren will be cheaper, but strong men or beautiful maids will be more expensive.

"This time, I will give you the price you said, but I agreed. What I want is labor. It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not. The important thing is that you can work. Do you understand?" Luo Zining asked him.

Ren Yazi thought that Luo Zining was afraid that these beautiful maids would run to seduce the prince, so he said such words, and immediately nodded, "Understood, next time I will definitely do what you want."

Luo Zining asked Uncle Chen and Zhao Xiaoyu to check up together to see how he was, and if he looked good, he would stay.

Uncle Chen and Zhao Xiaoyu picked it out, and finally got rid of a few bad-looking people, and bought the rest.

There were about seventy women and maidservants in total, and the rest consisted of robust men in their twenties and thirties, and some experienced and powerful servants in their forties.

Some of the slaves sold this time were bought from other declining wealthy families, and some were forced to sell themselves due to famine in other places.

Luo Zining divided them into two groups, the men were arranged by Uncle Chen, and the maids were arranged by Zhao Xiaoyu.

This palace is too big. When the previous prince was here, there were three or four hundred servants alone. There were many wives and concubines in the back house of the previous prince, as well as many sons and daughters, and many servants.

But now there are only two masters in the palace, Luo Zining and Huo Lingzhi, so there is no need for so many people.

He plans to keep a part of it for daily cleaning of the palace, and the rest will choose a piece of land next year, build a Zhuangzi, and arrange people to farm on the Zhuangzi.

When he went back in the evening, he told Huo Lingzhi that there were newcomers here, and they were all young and strong. He asked Huo Lingzhi to select a group of people to join the guards tomorrow. Their family's guards have only thirty people so far.And most of them are teenagers.

Although children are more capable of learning, they will take a few years to grow into adults, which is not as easy to use as ready-made adults.

After he finished speaking, he also talked about the matter of Chen Da, Zhao Xiaoyu and Mr. Zhao. He didn't tell others about it. He thought it was someone else's private matter and it was not easy to spread it. But he closed the door with Huo LingzhiIt's nothing to gossip, just like before time travel, he often heard his parents gossip about other people's affairs at home.

Moreover, Huo Lingzhi didn't bother to gossip about it with others. He told Huo Lingzhi about it as if he was talking to himself.

He talked for a long time, but Huo Lingzhi didn't express any opinion, maybe he didn't listen to what he said, and kept staring at him, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

I didn't forget to feed him saliva or some sunflower seeds on the way.

"You treat me like a little pet, and even feed me something to eat." Luo Zining pushed away his hand offering snacks: "Don't keep staring at me, let me tell you, people's novelty is limited,If you watch too much, you will get tired of it, and you won’t like me anymore, didn’t you say you want to live with me for the rest of your life, and watch me less in the future, so as not to read the whole life in one go, and you won’t be bothered to look at me in the future.”

"No." Huo Lingzhi raised his hand to show him the finger wrench he was wearing: "I've been wearing it for a long time, and I've never changed it. I haven't gotten tired of looking at it every day, and I don't want to change it.I treat an object like this, let alone a person."

Luo Zining reached out and took it off for him and kept it in his own hand, "What if it's gone? It's broken and lost and someone snatched it away. Do you have to change it?"

"I will protect it very well, and I won't lose it if it breaks and be snatched away." He did not take back the finger wrench in Luo Zining's hand, but raised his hand to wrap Luo Zining's finger wrench.That thumb, "I will protect it well and will not let go."

Luo Zining didn't know why, his face was a little hot, he quickly pulled out his hand, took off the finger and wanted to return it to him, but was held down by Huo Lingzhi.

"If you like it, I will wear it for you. You are me, and I am you. We are one husband and wife." Huo Lingzhi wished to give everything he had to Luo Zining, and he still felt that it was not enough.It is worth the best in the world. It would be great if he met Luo Zining in his heyday. All the rare treasures in his original palace could be given to Luo Zining to enjoy, instead of being asked toNo money, no treasure, no treasure if you want, the most precious things are one or two close-fitting ones.

Luo Zining looked at the ring on his hand, and his face became even hotter. Why did he feel like he was wearing a wedding ring? What Huo Lingzhi said just now seemed like a proposal. He promised him that he would not lose him for the rest of his life.To snatch him away and protect him for the rest of his life, Huo Lingzhi's words aroused the girlish heart of a straight man.

Moreover, this finger ring looks like it is made of high-quality jade, which is definitely more valuable than those gold or diamonds. If Huo Lingzhi uses this ring to propose marriage, it is really sincere.
