After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The night before, Gu Nanxi told herself three times before going to bed that she should save money.

The next day, when someone knocked on the door to give a gift, Gu Nanxi slapped him in the face!

Facing Lumei's eyes that said "I knew you would be like this", Gu Nanxi was speechless and felt a little guilty.

Just by casually asking for the cash box today, I spent a quarter of the budget!

But, I can’t blame myself for this!

After all, the gift the other party gave was a compass!

During the Warring States Period, someone actually discovered the secret of how magnets attract stones, and based on this property, they created the Sinan spoon.

However, the direction of this type of Si Nan is not very accurate and sometimes appears messy, so it has not been widely used.

Until the Zhou Dynasty, ordinary people still relied on celestial phenomena for guidance and direction.

But this time, the person who gave the gift was said to have been inspired by "Mengxi Bitan" and used the floating needle method to make a needle plate that can accurately indicate the direction even in the vast ocean!

When Gu Nanxi heard this, he was extremely excited!

Isn’t this kind of needle plate a must-have for sailing? !

With it, mom doesn’t have to worry about me getting lost anymore!

Gu Nanxi smiled awkwardly and defended herself: "I promise this will be the only time, and it won't happen again! This needle plate is really useful!"

"Whatever you say is what it is. It's your money after all, and I have no right to interfere." Lumei said this with a hint of sarcasm.

Gu Nanxi touched his nose and made up his mind that he would never be so extravagant again tomorrow!

Unfortunately, as the moon set and the sun rose, the bright moonlight seemed to take away Gu Nanxi's oath.

Seeing the extremely exquisite ship model in front of him, Gu Nanxi had long forgotten the promise he made yesterday.

"Lumei, bring the money box!"

Lu Mei took a breath and said with difficulty: "Master, this is just a model!"

Before Gu Nanxi could say anything, the old man who presented the sailing model glared and said, "Who said this is an ordinary model? You are just talking nonsense!"

Gu Nanxi has always been willing to bend over backwards for talented people: "Father, don't be angry. We have never been on a ship and we don't really understand these things. Why don't you tell us in detail?"

The old man's anger subsided a little, but his tone was still not good: "We in Da Zhou mainly build ships in Mingzhou and Wenzhou. Before building a ship, we will first make a model, and after several tests, we will make sure it is correct, and then we will enlarge it according to the proportion. More sophisticated shipyards will also draw a picture of the ship in advance."

When talking about the more sophisticated shipyards, my father-in-law puffed out his chest, seeming very proud.

"If it weren't for me..." The father-in-law stopped talking, as if he realized his current situation. He was like an eggplant hit by frost, no longer as rebellious as before.

"Cheating money? What money do you want to cheat? I, Xing Laosan, never do those immoral things!" The father-in-law talked to himself, muttering softly.

As if thinking of something important, the old man tilted his head and started to promote his own ship plan in a rough voice: "What I am best at is passenger ships. Passenger ships are relatively short and thick because they are stable."

The father-in-law pointed at the model and introduced: "This is the balance rudder, elevator rudder, and hole rudder... These are three rudders developed by me alone, which can reduce the lateral drift during navigation."

"These cabins are also watertight and tightly separated. Even if one or two cabins are damaged, water will only enter the damaged cabins and will not cause the entire ship to sink..."

"I call this ship a blessing ship. It has a pointed bottom. It has a solid structure, large capacity, is good at loading, has good stability, strong wind resistance, and a deep draft. It is especially suitable for ocean voyages."

Gu Nanxi was very excited after hearing Lao Zhang's introduction. With this ship and a compass, the fleet could create a Maritime Silk Road!

"Lumei, bring all the wallets here!" Gu Nanxi swore to keep this father-in-law!

Lumei reluctantly took the remaining three money boxes. The father-in-law took them and looked at them, only to find that there were only 1,500 taels in them. He then returned the money box to Lumei and pretended to take the model back.

Wanting to exchange my shipbuilding technology for 1,500 taels, isn't this robbery? !

Gu Nanxi also knew this truth, and hurriedly stopped the old man: "My dear father-in-law, please stop and listen to me in detail."

The father-in-law snorted coldly. If it weren't for the fact that the wife of Marquis Yongchang had an extremely good reputation among the people, he would not have listened to this person's chatter.

Gu Nanxi: "This 1,500 taels is for your household expenses in Kyoto. I was thinking, why don't we open a shipyard together?"

The old man smiled, thinking that the wife of the Yongchang Marquis was overthinking things. "Do you know how much money is needed to build a shipyard? How many workers are needed? Even if you take out all the money in the Yongchang Marquis's house, it will not be enough!"

Who doesn’t know that shipyards have high profits?

As long as a ship leaves the factory and goes to sea, it will be a hen that will lay golden eggs continuously!

The skills of the masters in the shipyard are passed down from father to son and from generation to generation.

If I hadn't encountered that incident, I wouldn't have left Mingzhou and come to Kyoto.

The wife of Marquis Yongchang wants to build a shipyard just by talking, which is probably just a pipe dream!

Where does the money come from, where do the people come from? How to deal with the obstacles encountered by nobles on the road?

In the face of such enormous wealth, being a wife of Marquis Yongchang is still not enough!

Gu Nanxi naturally knew that she could never finish this big pie by herself.

So Gu Nanxi pointed in the direction of the palace: "I can't do that, isn't there the one above?"

……

In a private room on the second floor of Fuquan Teahouse, two men in silk robes were drinking together.

"I heard that Wang Tuanzi was invited by Su Yunyan to come over to celebrate Gu Nanxi's birthday."

"Since Wang Tuanzi became popular, he has received many offers. It's amazing that Su Yunyan was able to invite him."

"I just wonder if Gu Nanxi still has enough money to hold the banquet." The man in green said while watching the show.

The man in white sitting opposite him raised his eyebrows: "It seems that your plan has succeeded?"

The man in green laughed: "Why do your words sound a bit sour? But I did succeed! I cheated a full 1,500 taels from Gu Nanxi! It relieved my hatred!"

He was also one of the officials who were in a hurry to sell their houses and flee to the south!

The man in white couldn't believe it: "You can cheat someone out of 1,500 taels with just a ship model?!"

"Of course there is more than that. There is also Xing Lao San's shipbuilding technology."

The man in white stood up with a bang: "Are you crazy?! You dare to give the shipbuilding technology to Gu Nanxi!"

"Don't panic, don't panic! If I give it to her, she has to be capable of taking it! Not to mention 1 taels, even if he gives taels, he won't sell his shipbuilding technology! I'm letting Gu Nanxi spend taels to get a big cake, but she can't eat it. She's so anxious!"

The man in white finally breathed a sigh of relief and praised him repeatedly: "You are so mean!"
