In order to submit 600,000 taels of silver to Tan Weixin's account room to invest in the construction of the Yi Zhan Building, Ye Tao spent an hour dealing with Zuo Heping, the head of the Zuo family, to ask about the clock and music box. In the process of visiting Lord Situ's mansion directly at Huang Wan's invitation, Lord Situ was more obsessed with why Ye Tao, a young man, could have the mind and insight of carving out the Shili Yanbo, but that did not mean that Huang Wan and his two brothers were not curious. Learning from the pain, Ye Tao simply presented one clock to Tan Weixin and the other one in the lobby of the Qingluo Walking House.

For a moment, Qingluo Xingshe, a business in Danyang, was considered a second-tier back in the second line, and became famous. Qingluo Xingshe was originally in good condition and service quality, but due to this opportunity, it attracted many businesses. Several local rich people opened rooms in Qingluo Xingshe, and seemed to be satisfied with reporting on time every hour on time. In front of everyone, the accuracy of the clock was fully verified.

Ye Tao was waiting for such an opportunity. At a luncheon that was almost not a big scene, he completed the goal of building a momentum that Qi Zhentao said. Although he was a bit lucky, it has to be said that in the capital, at that luncheon, these young people had a lot of energy. This may be one of the reasons why they were able to become Tan Weixin's guests.

However, in Danyang City, Ye Tao, who suddenly caused such a big storm, was at a loss. Almost none of the people from all parties who came to Qingluo Xingshe to look at the clock and asked him for inquiries. Moreover, just like Qi Zhentao was worried at the beginning, many of them did come with the idea of ​​*. Until Tan Weixin actually asked Lu Dan and others to be responsible for protecting Ye Tao's safety in Danyang, and also as his guide when he was running around in Danyang, those guys with * thoughts stopped in disappointment. After all, they were the most favored princess in Dongping Country, and they were not able to offend them.

Ye Tao knew that the water here in the capital was still too deep for him now. He was unable to manage the auction he had originally planned, even if the Du family was the same. If the Du family could eat well, they would not have just set up a Qingluo store and a few hotels in the capital. In the end, Ye Tao entrusted the matter of hosting the auction to the Zuo family and agreed with the Zuo family that the Zuo family could withdraw 1.5% of the auction proceeds as organizational expenses. If Qi Zhentao had not occupied a large part of the transaction of the clock, the Zuo family might not have been so polite.

Ye Tao was a little depressed that the business circle in the capital was indeed not so easy to enter. He was like a hawker carrying loads from other places to sell goods. He could only watch the people in the high-rise buildings and buildings to sell his goods, but he didn't even have the qualification to watch.

"What do those people do? Danyang's business circle is not that easy to enter. Even if it was me, when I couldn't reveal my identity and could only rely on a few of my subordinates to serve as a famous agent, how much energy did I take to enter this circle? It's easy to make money, but it's really troublesome to enter such a circle. When the Yi Zhan Building of your and my joint venture is up, are you still afraid that they will reject you? I'm afraid it's too late to curry favor with you." Tan Weixin said this.

Ye Tao knew that what Tan Weixin said was the facts. Wealth accumulation and status accumulation were not achieved overnight, it was a process of quantitative change to qualitative change. Ye Tao, who had already experienced such a process in Yicheng, would not retreat for a moment of obstacle, but... he was just a little frustrated.

"The Yi Zhan Tower has risen. No matter how good or bad the business is, it is selling toys. In this way, my image as a jester who tries to please His Royal Highness is deeply rooted, right?" Ye Tao teased himself. But his tone has become much easier.

Tan Weixin's eyes lit up and she said, "So what?"

"Not really." Seeing that Tan Weixin seemed to be raising her argument, Ye Tao hurriedly said: "Justice, let's be the jester. If you go back and build some catapults and crossbows, you should be able to reverse your image. It doesn't matter. This is probably the benefit of being a craftsman."

Tan Weixin said curiously: "The catapult carts and crossbows you made are better than those used by the Dongping army?"

Ye Tao acted insulted and said, "You... How could you say that..." Ye Tao's deliberate grievance was extremely fun, which made Tan Weixin chuckled. "The craftsmanship level of Dongping Country is indeed very high, but there is not enough research in physics, mathematics, geometry, etc. It is not enough to teach skills by traditional apprenticeship. Unless the master's expression is particularly good or the students are genius, the overall tendency is to decline in overall technical level. I know that the teaching in the Ministry of War workshops is more rigorous and careful, but craftsmen are craftsmen in the final analysis. Without a foundation, how do you let craftsmen understand mathematics and physics? Without these basic tools, how can you allow craftsmen to build magnificent buildings? How can you carry out parallel construction on a wider ground?"

Tan Weixin thought for a while and suddenly asked, "What are you going to make?"

Ye Tao smiled proudly, but fell silent.

"If you don't say it, don't say it. I'll go and see it when you create it." Tan Weixin was not angry. This was not because her self-control ability was really so strong, but because, she believed, there might be a new surprise. This surprise was not a sauté, nor a music box, nor a clock that could play a Radsky march. Perhaps, giving Yu Yetao enough time to recreate the city they were familiar with, if necessary.

While Tan Weixin and Ye Tao were talking about some things, the auction had already tried a huge amount of absenteeism, a total of 150,000 taels of silver. It has to be said that the rich people in Danyang City are indeed outrageously rich. Long before the auction, Ye Tao, who was very professional, did not put any unique or similar names on the auction clock, but simply said honestly that this was the first batch of trial-made clocks. In about a few months, Danyang, the capital city will definitely be available, although the output will be limited to the time.

It is absolutely impossible to open up the supply, but everyone should be more rational in the auction. However, when the Han family, the world's exclusive design, production and sales consortium of Ningcheng Yunkil porcelain, which is the favorite of Tan Weixin, was angry for some reason, the price of the clock rose up. When it was finally collected at 150,000 taels, it was not that the Han family did not want to continue to yelling prices, but because they were not local merchants after all, and they were troublesome to mobilize silver. After all, they still had to do business. After leaving enough money to do business, they really couldn't make up more spare money.

"150,000 taels..." Ye Tao thought silently, "It's open." His expression was like a bandit leader who had just robbed a batch of red goods... the military advisor around him.

"How many people are deducted to the Zuo family?" Tan Weixin asked with a smile.

"After deducting 1.5%, how much do you think there is?" Ye Tao asked back.

"Well... take out the fraction and buy a gift, my sister wants it." Tan Weixin said, "You gave me the clock. My restless little sister is so envious that she really has nothing to do with fun."

"Play?" Ye Tao said happily: "So young girl, do you want plush toys?"

Tan Weixin curled her lips and said, "Your little fiancée is younger than my sister. Besides, plush toys? Can you make it?"

Ye Tao didn't say anything. He was thinking about what it meant to make plush toys. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head in surrender and said, "Forget it, it's too troublesome. The layer of things outside can be changed slightly, it's not difficult. Although there is no machine, it's not impossible to make a simple semi-automatic machine to make people operate to weave such things. The problem is in color."

Tan Weixin sighed dejectedly and said, "Yes, color. Now it's really hard to get some dyes and some beautiful paint water. Even if you are the best painter in the world in Ye's workshop, there are only a few tricks. I miss those beautiful colors so much."

If it is someone else, he may prefer to wander in the colors of nature. In this time and space, there are sufficient conditions for the preserved nature. However, Tan Weixin is not good. She has a flower garden that she has spent money to build, but in those flower seasons a year, she has to run around and see the bright colors. Tan Weixin is probably tortured to death. She has not yet made a metal that can be used as a shock absorber, and Ye Tao did not want to make a half-toned four-wheeled carriage to slightly improve Tan Weixin's travel conditions. Even if she built a four-wheeled carriage, there is only a limited place to play in the highway system that is still well-developed in this era. If Tan Weixin can appreciate those beautiful colors, should she also learn from Rome to create a road system that can cross a thousand years and still retain traces, which can almost be called immortal? That would cost a little too much. However, making some bright colors may not be anything to him. It's just...

"You misunderstood. I mean...uh... Actually, I can make it even if it is a fluorescent color. However, there is no reliable mordant now, and it will fade after washing. To keep the colors lasting and bright, you have to develop mysteries, Tide, Bilang, etc. I can't make it." Ye Tao said embarrassedly. It's really troublesome, almost a preliminary chemical industry chain.

"Are you playing tricks on me?" Tan Weixin glanced at Ye Tao, her tone was already a little hard.

"How dare I... I have always been the loyal dog of His Highness the Princess." Ye Tao joked that Tan Weixin would not be really angry.

"Loyal Dog!... Humph!" Tan Weixin turned her head and said arrogantly: "Call me and listen?"

This stumped Ye Tao. If it was a loyal dog, it was a slightly exaggerated expression, just to say that he had no malice, then it would be a bit weak if he really learned to bark a few times. Although Ye Tao knew that Tan Weixin was just talking casually with a coquettish voice, it was a bit embarrassing.

"I'm sorry." Tan Weixin, who realized that she was a little abrupt, quickly apologized.

"Nothing is nothing," Ye Tao hurriedly revealed the matter. "How have those garden craftsmen in Chunnan Kingdom done recently?"
