"Look at this."

Chu Zhuang took out the blueprint from Gan's pocket and handed it to Lin Huai.

"this is?"

Lin Huai looked down at the drawings and asked hesitantly, "The textile machine?"

Lin Huai had seen the textile machine before, but it was not the same as what was drawn on Chu Zhuang's blueprint, so he was not sure for a while.

"This is a carding machine, and this is a weaving machine."

Chu Zhuang introduced Lin Huai.

To finally turn wool into clothing requires a lot of craftsmanship.

The carding machine straightens the washed wool, and the weaving machine weaves the carded wool into clothing.

"Oh~"

Lin Huai suddenly realized and nodded. He looked at Chu Zhuang and said, "So, is Mr. Chu planning to use these two utensils to weave wool?"

"Yes! Not bad!" Chu Zhuang nodded, looked at Lin Huai and asked, "Master Lin, are you sure you can make these two utensils?"

Although Chu Zhuang has tried to use simple and uncomplicated machines.

But whether Lin Huai can do it, Chu Zhuang still has no way to guarantee it.

"I can try my best."

Lin Huai frowned, looked at Chu Zhuang and said, "It's just that these two artifacts are very complicated, and it's my first contact with them, so I can't guarantee..."

The machine this time is different from the wheelchair that Chu Zhuang asked him to make before.

As long as Lin Huai polishes those things carefully, they can be made in a little time.

But these two machines are different, the structure of the machine is very complicated, and Lin Huai can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not.

"Okay, just ask me if there is anything you don't understand."

Chu Zhuang nodded. These two machines are very important and must be produced.

Now that the imperial examination has come to an end, Chu Zhuang also has time to devote himself to it.

For the next two days, Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi basically stayed at Lin Huai's place during the day, and started to develop these two machines with all their strength.

Before you know it, the day of making a list has arrived.

Although there were not many people who participated in the palace examination, the number of people who came to see the list was no less than when the list was released in the previous two rounds.

After all, there are quite a few people who like to watch the excitement, especially this year's top three list on this list!

"The champion is Chu Zhuang, right?"

"It should be him!"

"Who else is there besides him? In the second round of exams, Chu Zhuang was 2 points higher than No.[-]!"

……

When everyone discussed the championship in previous years, there were still several points of contention.

But this year is an exception. Everyone basically believes that Chu Zhuang is the well-deserved champion of this year.

There was no other reason, the main reason was that Chu Zhuang's previous two rounds of exams were too shocking.

All passed with full marks!

This is unprecedented.

If Chu Zhuang is not the champion, then they also think that other people are not qualified to be the champion.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

He Taichu looked at He Bing beside him, pursed his lips and asked cautiously.

"I'm fine!"

He Bing said this with a gloomy face, apparently without the slightest convincing force.

He Bing's grades are also very high. If it were in previous years, he would be a proper number one candidate.

But this year because of meeting Chu Zhuang, he was only reduced to No. 2, and he was still ranked [-]th by a full [-] points.

How could this make him feel better.

He Taichu didn't dare to provoke him, he shrank his neck and said nothing.

The discussions around were still very lively. Chu Hesheng and Chu Zhangyang heard Chu Zhuang's name in the crowd, and their expressions were not good-looking.

"Sure to do it after the bet is handed over?"

Chu Hesheng looked at Chu Zhangyang secretly and asked.

"rest assured!"

Chu Zhangyang nodded affirmatively and said: "Today's bet will be cashed out, and then I will go directly to Chu Zhuang and keep him from even having the chance to participate in the Lu Ming Banquet!"

The top [-] Jinshi can enter the palace to participate in the Luming Banquet hosted by the emperor.

The Luming Banquet is not a simple banquet, the emperor will appoint an official on it, if he is absent, then...

"Ok!"

When Chu Hesheng heard this, his face softened slightly.

It is impossible for him to enter the top [-], and he naturally does not want to see Chu Zhuang go to the Luming Banquet!

"The list is out!"

A group of eunuchs came out of the palace gate, and the list was quickly posted on the wall of the Gongyuan.

"Chu Zhuang is really the champion!"

Everyone looked at the name at the top of the list and shouted.

The news spread in all directions from the Gongyuan.

The people who are in the worst mood at this time are not those candidates who did not enter the list, but the real bosses behind the major gambling houses.

Originally, after they knew that Chu Zhuang had passed the first round of exams, their first reaction was to directly take money from the Yun family.

After all, this amount is too big, and if it is really given to the Yun family, it would be too heart-wrenching.

But soon they dismissed the idea.

Because they can unite to deal with the Yun family, but they definitely dare not unite to deal with Yu Wenchang!

Yu Wenchang had been staring at them for a long time, if he hadn't been able to find an excuse, he might have wanted to ransack their family and exterminate them long ago.

They don't dare to mess with that evil spirit!

"Here's the bill! Bring out the money!"

Wu Da brought the people from the Imperial City Department to the major gambling houses and started collecting money one by one.

The people from the major gambling houses stood obediently at the door early in the morning, welcoming people in respectfully, and sending them away respectfully.

Just turning around in a circle, Wu Da was followed by a large string of boxes.

After cashing the last bill in his hand, Wu Da glanced at the box behind him, a little amazed.

"This Yun Shizi doesn't know how he made the bet, and he won so much?"

You must know that the boxes are filled with gold coins!

So much money, more money than the treasury!

"Back to the palace!"

Wu Da and his people did not enter through the main entrance of Suzaku Street, which is now crowded with spectators.

They were carrying so much gold here, if something went wrong, he couldn't afford it.

"Have they all been taken back?"

Yu Wenchang looked at the dozens of large and small boxes placed in the palace, his eyes lit up instantly, and he ordered: "Open them all, let me have a look!"

Rao an emperor like him has never seen so much gold!

It made him want to come here every year in the future.

But Yu Wenchang is also very clear that this year's situation is a special case.

It is basically impossible to reproduce in the future.

"Your Majesty, I have taken back everything, including your principal and that of Shizi Yun, a total of 200 million gold coins!"

After Wu Da said the amount, he couldn't help swallowing.

They didn't know that the casino was such a profitable business before.

Just one bet, the amount involved is actually tens of millions of gold coins.

You must know that the country's annual tax revenue is only 500 million gold coins!

This is still a good harvest. If there is any natural disaster, the emperor not only has to exempt taxes but also has to provide disaster relief. The treasury may not only have no income but also need to spend.

Yu Wenchang looked at the gold coin in front of him, squinted his eyes, and there was an ambiguous expression in his eyes.

This year's gambling house is particularly popular because of Chuzhuang, and many people who know the "insider" information, such as Chu Lianqing, bet a large amount of money in it.

Therefore, the amount of gambling is more than in previous years.

Moreover, most of the money is to be won by other gamblers, and the casino can only win a part of it.

Large gambling houses generally only have a few hundred thousand for such a large market.

But even such an amount aroused Yu Wenchang's fear and displeasure.

Aristocratic families rely on the accumulation of generations, and some families have even existed for hundreds of thousands of years, so they have the financial resources that are now incomparably rich.

On this point, Yu Wenchang admitted.

But you, a small gambling house, come to a country that is incomparably rich, then he will deny it!

He didn't know about it before, and he didn't pay attention to these low-level gambling houses.

But now that he knows such a lucrative industry, he won't let it go easily!

"Counting all the gold, the Yun family's principal will be sent back to them, and the rest will be put into the treasury."

Yu Wenchang looked at Hong Da and ordered.

Yunhong took the initiative to say not to gamble, and Yu Wenchang naturally would not refuse.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Hong Da led a group of people to carry the money away.

……

"Young master, champion, you have won the first prize! Hurry up and go home, the messengers are here to announce the good news! This meeting is waiting!"

Bai Dali rushed to find Chu Zhuang and told him the news.

All the officials came to announce the good news, but who knew that Chu Zhuang was not at home at this time, but ran to Lin Huai's side.

"I almost forgot that today is the day to release the rankings."

Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi looked at each other. They have been busy discussing with Lin Huai about making machines recently, and completely forgot about this.

"Let's go, let's go back quickly, it's not good for people to wait too long."

Yunmengxi looked at Chu Zhuang and said.

"Congratulations, Young Master Chu!"

Lin Huai was shocked when he heard that Chu Zhuang had actually won the title of No.

Lin Huai is a handicraft nerd, the kind who keeps his ears shut and only does carpentry.

Basically, once the door of this small courtyard is closed, unless they go out to buy some raw materials and eat, basically they will not go out.

Therefore, they are naturally unaware of the turmoil that has arisen in recent times.

Originally, Lin Huai knew that Chu Zhuang was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.

He directly obtained the title of number one scholar.

The number one scholar, in his cognition, is Wenqu Xingxia!

"Thank you very much. I'll come over to give you money later, and I'm going home now."

Chu Zhuang patted Lin Huai's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Master Chu, go slowly!"

Lin Huai didn't dare to delay Chu Zhuang, and hurriedly sent him home.

It wasn't until they saw Chu Zhuang and their carriage disappear that they came back in a daze.

"Xiaomu studied with a literary star like Mr. Chu. As long as I get a degree of fame with a little bit of Mr. Chu's literary spirit, then I will have the face to face the ancestors of the Lin family." Lin Huai said with some emotion.
