Liang Xiao's heart moved, but he didn't ask much. Although they were not in Chang'an City, they were also on the streets, with pedestrians and eyes mixed. Who knows if they would be heard? If you have anything to say, it would be better to go back and ask privately.
Liang Xiao asked Tu Niuer to go to the Huainan Prince's residence to find Deng Guobin, and went home with Dongfang Shuo. The two of them were walking and chatting, not mentioning serious matters. When they returned home, some of the goods had been delivered to their homes. My mother and her concubine were discussing with the delivery person. Judging from their expressions, they obviously couldn't believe that these things were bought by Liang Xiao.
I have to say that Liang Xiao was indeed a little stingy before. There was no way, so I just rely on my mother to make money alone. If I don’t sting a little, I would have starved to death.
Liang Xiao stepped forward, took the goods one by one, paid the payment, and gave some errand money. Although the delivery man had some trouble, he finally got a considerable reward and went there happily.
Looking at the things in the room, not only Li Rongqing was at a loss, but even Liang Magazine, who had always been arguing, was a little confused. She pulled Liang Xiao aside and asked whisperedly: "Xiao'er, why did you suddenly buy so many things?"
Liang Xiao was not sure, but in front of me, he still looked very confident.
"My mother, you have been suffering for half your life and you should enjoy some happiness now. Don't worry about money, I have my own opinions. From now on, you will prepare a meal to open your mouth and a noble lady who can stretch out her clothes."
Mama Liang became even more nervous. "Why, you still want to buy a slave?"
When Liang Xiao heard this, he said, "Yes, we still lack a few servants and no one to serve him, why are you a noble lady?" Dongfang Shuo was busy for a long time, how could he forget about this? He comforted my mother and came out to find Dongfang Shuo. After hearing Liang Xiao's question, Dongfang Shuo laughed "Puchi" with contempt in his eyes.
"Although I am a bitch, I can't use it casually. Do you think it's enough to buy someone? Who knows what the details of those people are and whether they understand the rules? What should I do if I hear something in the future and go out and talk nonsense?"
When Liang Xiao heard this, he felt that it made sense. He was different from ordinary people. If the news of being a man of Pingyang Hou spread, it would be unfavorable to his future. It has to be said that although Dongfang Shuo seemed unreliable, he still had a very careful consideration.
"What should I do?"
"Don't worry about this matter, I'll do it." Dongfang Shuo touched his stomach and sighed: "Do you think I'm really a good person? I'm demoting myself and becoming a family secretary for you. Unfortunately, I don't even have a salary, and I'm misunderstood."
Liang Xiao smiled and reached out to pat Dongfang Shuo's shoulder to show comfort. But when he saw Dongfang Shuo's shoulders that were taller than his head, he would have forgotten it.
At noon, Deng Guobin followed Tu Niu'er, wearing a short dress, with ink on his cuffs, and it looked like he was dragged down by Tu Niu'er from the carpenter's desk, and he almost took a ink bucket. His face was a little bad, and he ran out of breath.
"Mr. Liang, I'm so anxious to come to me, what are you going to give me?"
Without waiting for Liang Xiao to speak, Dongfang Shuo said first: "I want to give you a great wealth to the Huainan Prince's Mansion and a great merit to you Mr. Deng."
Deng Guobin looked at Dongfang Shuo and Liang Xiao in surprise. The situation in front of him was a little wrong. Liang Xiao had just moved here yesterday, so why was he so familiar with Dongfang Shuo? Judging from Dongfang Shuo's attitude, he was simply Liang Xiao's confidant.
"What wealth?" Deng Guobin said, but his eyes were fixed on Liang Xiao, obviously not very trusting Dongfang Shuo.
"That's right." Liang Xiao took over the topic. Deng Guobin is a technical mate and is not very good at human nature. Don't let Dongfang Shuo say he is confused. "My mother has a good skill in weaving brocade, but as she grows older and has poor eyesight, she can't weave brocade anymore. It's a pity that this craft is abandoned. I want to transfer it to Master Liu. First, let the craft have a heritage, and second, to repay Master Weng's courtesy."
"Oh, that's right." Deng Guobin breathed a sigh of relief. "The master has to decide this, but I can tell her."
"In addition, there is another thing, but you, Mr. Deng." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Deng is a descendant of the Mo family. He is proficient in mechanical techniques. Can he study looms?"
"Loom?" Deng Guobin frowned slightly, showing a little disdain. "I'm only studying offensive and defensive equipment, and I don't know much about looms."
"If you are in peace today, what is the use of studying offensive and defensive equipment?" Dongfang Shuo shouted sternly: "You should not be without clothes for a day. The loom is related to people's livelihood and benevolence to the world. It is really foolish if you don't study such important things, but you can study useless killing tools."
Deng Guobin raised his eyebrows and was about to refute. Liang Xiao waved his hand and signaled him to be calm. This technical mate didn't understand Dongfang Shuo's implication at all, so he could just pass it on to Liu Ling. "Deng Jun, whether it is a loom or an offensive and defensive equipment, the principles are the same. However, from the scope of application, the use of loom is wider than that of offensive and defensive equipment. Even if it is a little bit of improvement, it can be seen immediately, which is of great benefit to your research."
Deng Guobin's frown slowly stretched out, and he smiled with his palm. "Yes, I designed a lot of equipment, but I don't have any chance to test it. If it is a loom, every family can use it, and the pros and cons are clear at a glance. It is much better than I think. If it is profitable, no one will accuse me of wasting my money."
Dongfang Shuo snorted: "I'm not stupid at all."
Deng Guobin ignored him and asked Liang Xiao with a smile: "What price are you going to pay?"
"I will interview Mr. Liu to avoid scaring you." Liang Xiao smiled mysteriously. "Your task is to transform the existing loom to make it more suitable for the special technology of double-sided brocade. My mother will explain the specific technical issues to you. She has been using it for decades and can't be clear about the pros and cons of the existing loom."
Deng Guobin nodded repeatedly. Liang Xiao asked her to explain the process of the double-sided brocade to Deng Guobin in detail. Before that, she had always used an ordinary loom and had never thought about designing a special machine. At the beginning, she was a little unclear. After Liang Xiao explained, she let go of her mind and began to tell Deng Guobin some of the problems she encountered when weaving brocades.
Although Deng Guobin had no research on looms, he had rich experience in machinery and had a lot of experience in machinery. He quickly had an idea about some of the questions raised by Mama Liang. After discussing with Liang Xiao and his son, he was immediately moved and wanted to go back to his workshop to try production immediately.
Deng Guobin returned to Huainan residence happily, reported the situation to Liu Ling, and then got into the workshop and became busy. As Liang Xiao guessed, Liu Ling's attention was not on the loom at all. She pondered for a while, called Lei Que, took more than a dozen followers, and went out in a dignified manner, crossed the market, and came to the Liang family.
Liang Xiao was prepared for a long time and welcomed Liu Ling into the door and sat down in the hall.
Liu Ling did not make any politeness and asked straight to the point: "Are you advising me to abolish the military preparations in Huainan and promote agriculture and sericulture?"
