Ning Xiu came to the mansion again, and the prefect Li Rui was very surprised.

Even so, he still met with Ning Xiu. After all, this person was specially instructed by Zhang Sangongzi to take care of him, and the Zhang family's face must be given.

Governor Li met Ning Xiu in the study, and the two only talked about personal friendship regardless of official affairs.

Although Ning Xiu was given a seat by Governor Li, he only sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, and leaned forward slightly with a respectful expression.

Governor Li saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. This young man knows how to advance and retreat. Although Li Rui intends to take care of Ning Xiu, you also have to go to the Tao.

Ning Xiu's performance made Li Rui feel like a spring breeze.

"What is Hyun here for?"

Li Rui took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.

"Qiqi Fuzun, the students are here to give the best wine to the Fuzun."

After that, he took out the packed wine from the blanket and presented it to the prefect of Li.

Li Zhifu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw these exquisite porcelain vases.

"Well, Xiansheng has a heart."

His taste for this wine is truly unforgettable. Unlike white wine, rice wine, rice wine, and fruit wine, the taste of wine makes people feel like they are fluttering.

"Lord Fuzun, the students heard that there is a placer mine outside Gangneung City, which is mined by the government. I wonder if the students will be authorized to mine a small portion, or pay for some of the sand? ”

Li Rui's expression was stunned, and he already knew it in his heart.

Well, this kid really didn't just come to deliver wine, he had something to ask for.

Governor Li was silent for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "Why does Xiansheng suddenly want to buy sand?" ”

He had already heard that Ning Ji had made a binder called cement, which was shining when he was repairing the Liao Palace, and he was very interested.

Isn't this Ning Xiu improving the formula of cement, which needs to be added into sand?

"Fuzun doesn't know that students are trying to make a new kind of colored glass, and they need to use sand."

Ning Xiu didn't want to hide the matter of making glass. In the future, after the mass production of glass, it will definitely be sold in a large area, how can it be hidden?

If he finds an excuse to deceive Governor Li now, Governor Li will not have a knot at that time?

People always have to empathize, and Governor Li treats him well, but he can't abuse this feeling.

"Oh? Liuli. ”

Li Rui was obviously a little surprised by this answer.

"The production of glass is very complicated, can you find a good master?"

Although Li Zhifu did not understand the production process of colored glass, he also heard that the production method of colored glass was very complicated. Ning Xiu suddenly wanted to make glass, he should have already contacted the master who made glass.

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "Fu Zun, this new style of glass that students are going to do is very different from the traditional glass. Not only the production process is different, but even the glass samples made are completely different. ”

Li Rui became more and more interested.

"Haha, when Xiansheng said this, the official is extremely looking forward to this new style of glass. After you make this glass in the future, you must show it to the official. ”

Ning Xiulian claimed that it was.

"But ......"

Li Zhifu's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his voice was deliberately elongated.

Ning Xiu's heart was directly raised in his throat, and no one knew what Governor Li thought.

If he doesn't agree, won't all his previous efforts be in vain?

"The mining of this placer mine must be carried out by the government, and the private sector is not allowed to intervene. But if you want to buy some sand, you can't do it. According to the market price, you can go directly to Du Gongshu in the government office, and say that it is the order of the official. ”

Ning Xiu finally let out a sigh of relief, this Li Zhifu was panting when he spoke, it was really scary.

In fact, Ning Xiu does not necessarily have to obtain the right to exploit.

He also knew that in the Ming Dynasty, things like salt, iron, and minerals were strictly controlled by the imperial court. If Governor Li opened this hole for him, it would be tantamount to putting himself on the fire and roasting him. In case of repeated impeachment by political opponents, it is possible to lose the black gauze hat.

As long as Governor Li agrees to sell him sand, it's fine.

"Thank you, Lord Fuzun."

Ning Xiu gave a deep salute to Governor Li's mansion and said happily: "When the new glaze is ready, the students will definitely send it to the government as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

Li Rui picked up the teacup and tasted the tea again.

Ning Xiu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The Mansion is busy with official business, so the student will retire first." ”

Governor Li didn't speak, but only bowed his head slightly as a gesture.

Ning Xiu withdrew from the study and did not leave the mansion directly, but went to the workshop in one of the six rooms.

In the Ming Dynasty, the prefectures and counties set up six rooms in imitation of the six departments of the imperial court, and they were divided into secular affairs, and the county, the prefecture, and the prefect were just grasping the general, and they did not need to know too much about the specific situation.

The prefect of the sixth room is called Jingcheng, but this is an elegant saying. Usually, it is called by the name of each room and a book.

For example, the head of the officials in charge of the workshop was called Gongshu, and because his surname was Du, he was called Du Gongshu. As for the rest of the people in the chambers, they are called clerks or scribes. All officials are collectively referred to as wardens. Generally, there are between ten and twenty wardens in each room, and the establishment is so bloated that the efficiency is naturally not high.

Six rooms are located on either side of the lobby. On the left side of the lobby are officials, households, and ceremonial rooms. On the right side of the lobby are the criminal, soldier and workshop.

The Du Gongshu that Ning Xiu was going to find was in the workshop.

The main responsibility of the workshop is the construction of the project, including the mining of mines, and the power is not insignificant.

When Ning Xiu came to the workshop, he saw that the door was open, so he stepped in. The workshop was a low room, in which there were about six or seven public tables, and a dozen or so scribes were chatting and drinking tea leisurely.

Ning Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this kind of scene, the habits of Chinese people as officials and officials have really not changed throughout the ages.

"Ahem, I don't know which one is Du Gongshu?"

Ning Xiu didn't know Du Gongshu, so he had to hug his fists and ask loudly.

A man in a cyan cotton robe responded: "Du is, what is this son doing?" ”

Ning Xiu looked at it fixedly, and saw that this Du Gongshu was in his thirties, tall and handsome, and couldn't help but feel good.

"In Xianningxiu, he is a student member of Jiangling County. Fang Caining asked to see Fu Zun, and obtained Fu Zun's permission to buy sand at the market price, and Fu Zun asked him to come directly to Du Gongshu. Ning was bothered this time. ”

"The Great Master's order?"

Du Gongshu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Ning Gongzi, sit down."

Du Gongshu pulled Ning Xiu to sit down, and talked like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Ning Gongzi and rest assured, the sand mined in the first two months is now stored in the warehouse, and Ning Gongzi can buy as much as he wants. According to what Fuzun said, Ning Gongzi can be listed at the market price. ”

The Yamen is very disciplined. Don't ask too much about things you shouldn't ask.

Du Gongshu knew this well, and he was not worried about Ning Xiu's false orders. Even if Ning Xiu wanted to buy it, he couldn't buy it immediately, so he would have to wait for a few years. He must confirm this kind of thing with Lord Fuzun, and he will know when he asks.
