Cai family, Kuai family, Zhang family, Huang family...

Jingzhou's wealthy families are deeply entangled. The clan member Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou and was able to pacify most of Jingzhou in a few years. This was due to the support of clan forces.

The Cai family has been working in Xiangyang since the time of the famous scholar Cai Xi. The current head of the family, Cai Mao, is in his prime and has an old relationship with Sikong Cao Cao and others. In addition, Mrs. Cai has turned a deaf ear to it, so he is definitely the most powerful noble family in Jingzhou.

Cai Lichang and other Yushuwan villagers are the most basic representatives of the Cai family.

With their status, it is impossible to contact Cai Hao directly.

But there should be no problem in asking for an official ultimatum from the General's Office.

Wei Shi had no power, so even if he had some cleverness, he could make a pedal spinning wheel, so what? As Cai Lichang, Cai He and others talked, they began to dream of the joy of seizing the Wei family's property.

"When Wei Shi leaves, we will dedicate the new spinning wheel to the Xiangyang people. Will this be a great achievement?" Cai Lichang drank a little too much wine, and unknowingly, his tongue became enlarged.

"Hey, if I don't want the spinning wheel, I have to look out for others. Those long legs make me drool just thinking about them?" Cai Guang had already had a desire to dominate Han Qiuyun, and his true nature was revealed at this time.

Feeling proud, the voices of the Cai family members gradually became louder in discussion.

In the backyard of Cai Guang's house, an old-fashioned spinning wheel was squeaking. Song Yuniang was still spinning threads hard. Compared with when she was choosing a bride, she was even thinner and looked like she would fall down if the wind blew.

Before Cai Guang's bruised eyes fully healed, the evil mother-in-law Cai Mu couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Song Yuniang to start spinning.

In Song Yuniang's heart at this time, she had no gratitude towards Cai Guang and her son, only hatred.

The walls are very thin and cannot be soundproofed.

Hearing that the Cai family was going to deal with Wei Shi, Han Qiuyun and his wife, Song Yuniang's heart skipped a beat, and her spinning hand couldn't help but stop.

A few days ago, she heard rumors from village women that in order to please Han Qiuyun, Wei Shi specially built a new spinning wheel that could be stepped on by foot. It could spin yarn quickly and well, making people enviable.

Driven by curiosity, Song Yuniang secretly went to Wei's house yesterday to take a look. She was amazed by the efficiency of the new spinning wheel.

What made her even more envious was Han Qiuyun's position as the hostess of the Wei family.

Perhaps because of sympathy for each other, seeing Song Yuniang's thin appearance, Han Qiuyun took two steamed cakes and stuffed them into Song Yuniang's arms without saying a word.

"Sister Qiuyun, I will not let the beasts of the Cai family hurt you." The residual warmth of the steamed cakes was still there, and Song Yuniang's heart was very warm.

After finally waiting until midnight, while waiting for Cai's mother and Cai Guang to go to bed, Song Yuniang gently pushed open the courtyard door and ran towards the Wei family in the dark.

At this time, most of the villagers were asleep, but the lights of the Wei family were still on.

Han Qiuyun is very motivated to make money and doesn't rest until late at night.

Wei Shi was chatting with him. Han Qiuyun in front of him had no makeup on his face, but gave him a fresh breath. Coupled with his slender legs dancing back and forth, Wei Shi was completely sleepless for a moment.

"Qiu Yun, I came to the city to make an agreement with the Mi family business this time. From now on, people from the Mi family will come to collect the twine, and there is no need to make trips to the city to deliver it."

"I listen to Wei Lang." Han Qiuyun nodded in agreement, his eyes never leaving the spinning thread.

Between Qian and Wei Shi, she was afraid of poverty and chose the former without hesitation.

"Sister Qiuyun, open the door. I am Yuniang. I have something urgent." Just as the two were talking, the door of the thatched shed was knocked by Song Yuniang.

When Han Qiuyun opened the door, he saw Song Yuniang rushing into the house with a frightened look on her face. Before she could take a breath, she recounted what happened to the Cai family in detail.

"Wei Lang, what should we do? How about we take Xiao'e away and go to the north or Jiangdong to seek life?" Han Qiuyun's face turned pale, and he grabbed Wei Shi's arm and refused to let go.

"The Cai family's wishful thinking is really good. If I, Wei Shi, admit defeat like this, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?" Wei Shi snorted coldly, his eyes full of coldness.

Cai Guang, a scoundrel, had been causing trouble for Wei Shi since he first came up, and now he is getting even more serious.

There are also village tyrants such as Cai Lichang and Cai He who rely on their monopoly power to exploit the poor villagers. Such scum cannot be spared.

"Yu Niang, thank you for coming to report. You can't go back to the Cai family. Wait a moment and I will take you into the city. You can hide for a while and then come back after I solve the Cai family's troubles."

Wei Shi nodded towards Song Yuniang and explained the next arrangements.

After comforting Han Qiuyun and Wei Xiao'e, Wei Shi took the woodcut drawings of the spinning wheel from the back room and hurried into the city with Song Yuniang.

Behind Cai Guang and others is Cai Mao.

Wei Shi also needs to find a backer to deal with it.

In Xinye City, Mi Zhu has already appeared, and Liu Bei is coming soon. Based on Wei Shi's understanding of Liu Bei, this great uncle of the Han Dynasty is not someone who is willing to be mediocre.

Jingzhou rich people like the Cai family were very wary of Liu Bei.

What Wei Shi has to do now is to use the conflict between Liu Bei and Cai Mao to survive in the cracks.

Mi Zhu is a good businessman. The last time they met, Wei Shi specifically mentioned his newly built pedal spinning wheel in order to attract Mi Zhu's attention.

A descendant of the Mi family, he started his career as a businessman and has a unique business vision.

The production efficiency of the new spinning wheel made Mi Zhu see a business opportunity to make a fortune.

In fact, at the beginning, Wei Shi wanted to hide it for a while, and when he had some savings, he would build a textile workshop, recruit village women to expand production, and make a fortune.

Now he has changed his mind.

Building a workshop to produce results is too slow.

With Wei Shi's current strength, even if it is built, it cannot be saved.

It would be better to simply offer the spinning wheel to Liu Bei for a guarantee.

It took an hour and a half to get from Yushu Bay to Xinye County. Wei Shi and Song Yuniang went there all night, and finally arrived at the gate of the city when the sky was dim.

When we entered the city, there happened to be a group of soldiers guarding the chariot and blocking it in front.

On the flagpole in front of the motorcade, one side reads "General Zuo" and the other side reads "Yuzhou Mu", with a big "Liu" in the middle.

When Wei Shi saw this flag, a hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Emperor uncle Liu Bei is finally here.

"Brother Wei, why are you here?" Just when Wei Shi retreated to the side of the road and wanted to wait before entering the city, a familiar voice came from inside the motorcade.

"Master Mi, I was about to go to the city to find you... What a coincidence!" Wei Shi looked around and saw Mi Zhu standing next to a few bullock carts in the middle, talking to a pretty woman in the cart.

What are you wearing?

This woman has a pretty face and is young. She looks to be around twenty-three or twenty-four. Although her clothes are not gorgeous, the exquisite patterns on her skirt already indicate that she has an unusual identity.

"Zhenmei, this is the craftsman I told you about. He made the pedal spinning wheel that can spin three spindles at the same time."
