Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows what is going on in the world.

In the past, this was often just a promotion for readers, but now a newspaper can indeed let people know about the world's affairs.

Even for Zhang Juzheng, who is the first assistant, he also knows a lot of "news" from the "Morning News".

"The subtleties can solve people's livelihood."

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but praise, and at this moment, an advertisement in the newspaper caught his eye.

"Shuifeng brand pressurized water well, can play three zhang deep well, the well fee is two taels!"

Reading the advertisement in the newspaper, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but be surprised.

"Sanzhang deep well! If this is the case, the common people of the world will not be blessed. ”

In addition to being surprised, Zhang Juzheng was about to instruct the officials to follow the advertisement to find the well, but suddenly thought of the news from Zhending Mansion a while ago.

"100 pressurized water wells a day...... Could it be this pressurized water well? ”

If it was ordinary local news, it would not have been put in front of Zhang Juzheng so quickly, but Zhending Mansion is located in, and now there is a drought in the Zhending area for several months, so he will pay so much attention.

"It seems that there is an official document from the governor of Baoding."

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly flipped through it, and sure enough, there was an official letter that had just been delivered today, which was an official letter from Xin Zixiu, the governor of Baoding.

Looking at the content of the official letter, Zhang Juzheng's expression was extremely serious, and finally his eyes fell on the book "Pressurized Water Well Method", and finally muttered.

"Is there really such a thing in this world? If so, it will be a blessing for the people of the world! ”

As the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, naturally knows that the people of the world are suffering from floods and droughts, compared with floods, droughts are more every year, especially in the north, large droughts and small droughts are continuous, and the people in the north can be said to be suffering from it.

Thinking that he had seen the advertisement in the newspaper earlier, Zhang Juzheng took out the newspaper again and looked at the newspaper and read something.

"Lugou Iron Works...... It's this Lugou Iron Factory again! ”

The corners of his lips were lightly raised, and Zhang Juzheng said to himself.

"This Shi Zhiyuan has made a lot of movements."

While there were words in his mouth, Zhang Juzheng thought for a while, called Ma Ziqiang, and asked as soon as he entered the floor.

"Body, have you read the official letter from the governor of Baoding?"

"Looking back, I haven't read it yet."

Ma Ziqiang said truthfully, the official letter was not delivered to his case. But even so, for Zhang Juzheng, he is also extremely grateful, because the reason why he was able to enter the cabinet, thanks to Zhang Juzheng's two recommendations, in fact, as early as the third year of Wanli, Ma Ziqiang, Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei were recommended together, last year, before Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown to bury his father, there were only two people in the cabinet, Lu Tiaoyang and Zhang Siwei, and Zhang Juzheng asked to increase the cabinet ministers. When he was recommended for the second time, he was naturally grateful to Zhang Juzheng.

Of course, I don't feel sorry for him because of this little thing.

"Then you take a look first,"

After receiving the official letter handed by Shoufu, Ma Ziqiang only glanced at it slightly, and then showed surprise on his face, and then said in surprise.

"Shoufu, if this is the case, it is really a blessing for the people of the world, throughout the ages to dig wells and not to be able to produce water is a barren well, every time there is a great drought, the river is cut off, the well is dry, even if it is a year of great drought, it can also press out the water, but it is really rare, I have to write to Xin Zixiu, ask him to leave me some wells, such treasures, can not be enjoyed exclusively by Beizhili, Shaanxi fathers also need very."

Ma Ziqiang is a native of Shaanxi, and he is also the first Shaanxi official to enter the cabinet of the Ming generation, and he naturally thinks about the villagers in Shaanxi, after all, Shaanxi is also often in drought.

"It's not in a hurry, now this pressurized water well is also sold in the capital, if you want to help the elders in Shaanxi, just buy some directly."

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

"However, I called you here because I wanted you to go to this Lugou Iron Factory to take a look in person, Xin Zixiu is indeed a reliable person, but he can't take the liberty of implementing this "Pressurized Water Well Law" to the world, so I want you to talk to that Shi Yiwen and learn more about this pressurized water well."

Like any politician, Zhang Juzheng saw an opportunity in the Pressurized Well Law, an opportunity for him to win over the people of the world, and the people could benefit from it, and he could gain fame from it.

"Shi Yiwen, but that Shi Tongzhi?"

After getting the answer from Shoufu, Ma Ziqiang suddenly laughed, then looked at Zhang Juzheng and said.

"Shoufu, speaking of which, I also had a relationship with Shi Tongzhi."

"Oh? Do you know? ”

Zhang Juzheng asked with some curiosity.

For Shi Yiwen, because of his status as a "tribute envoy" and the lesson of Yasan the fire, he has never been to see him, and he is not even allowed to enter the court, and now that he heard that Ma Ziqiang has seen him, he is naturally curious.

"Shousuke, do you remember that I was seriously ill last year?"

Ma Ziqiang looked at Shoufu and asked.

"How can I not know that the situation at that time was very dangerous, and even the imperial doctor was helpless."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said.

At that time, he went to Ma Ziqiang's house to see him, and his condition was indeed not optimistic.

"Didn't you get healed later?"

Looking at Ma Ziqiang, Zhang Juzheng was surprised.

"Could it be that he cured you?"

"Indeed."

Nodding, Ma Ziqiang said.

"At that time, I heard that he came from abroad, and with the idea of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, I went to Shitaizhuang to find him.

Ma Ziqiang did not say that he knew that Shi Yiwen would cure the disease because Lu Tiaoyang's nephew mentioned that his uncle's old illness was coincidentally cured by Shi Yiwen on the way back to the south. At that time, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he went directly to visit without even thinking about it. Because of the old gap between Lu Tiaoyang and Shoufu, it was naturally inconvenient for him.

"So, you know each other?"

"It's not like I know each other."

Ma Ziqiang looked at Shoufu and said truthfully.

"The last time I went to him, I didn't tell him who I was, so to him, I was just a nameless old man."

Hearing Ma Ziqiang say this, Zhang Juzheng nodded, and then smiled.

"That's just right, this time you went in the past, and then asked him about the "Pressurized Water Well Law", especially how the pressurized water well is cast, and the effect, since people saved you, then this favor, you must pay it back, you tell him, if this pressurized water well is really effective, he is allowed to market the pressurized water well to the world, exempt from checkpoint taxes, so that the people of the world can benefit."
