never expected that the backer he was counting on would fall all of a sudden, and he smashed himself to pieces, which made Ma Du very sad. Even if Lao Zhu promoted him, he couldn't make up for the trauma in his heart, not to mention that this official was really insincere.

In Zhongshu Province Zuo Shilang, in the Zhongshu Province to remove the Pingzhang, left and right Cheng and participate in the governor's affairs, this official is counted, but if this official is added to the "special department of mining and smelting", there is not much power.

It's barely a fat shortage, but who dares to embezzle under Lao Zhu's hands, and the worst thing is that Lao Zhu sent him an unlucky deputy. That's the famous traitor Hu Weiyong in history, I don't know how many people have lost their heads with him, and Ma Du dares to work with him?

Working with the bear child Zhu Wenzheng is really a last resort, and now that his head is in water, he is fighting with Hu Weiyong, which is forcing him to pick a son.

Hu Weiyong did not have the slightest evil appearance, but looked elegant and gentle, worked very diligently, and his ability was not bad at all, recruiting miners, building iron furnaces, and taking care of them in an orderly manner, and the first furnace of pig iron was produced in less than ten days.

is even more respectful to Shangguan, even if Ma Du is the shopkeeper and doesn't even see him, he has to report to Ma Du through the tent, even if no one responds in the tent, he will not stop every day.

Hu Weiyong was also considerate and thoughtful about Shangguan's daily life, as soon as he heard that Ma Du had a head disease, he immediately asked a doctor from Dangtu for diagnosis and treatment, knowing that Shangguan didn't like decoction and bitter water, and he was offered good wine and food every day. If you say that such a person is not the prime minister, who can be the prime minister?

Although he was surprised that Shangguan was about to return to his hometown at a young age, Hu Weiyong still came to see him off in person despite his busy work, and also prepared a rich Cheng Yi.

Looking at Bai Huahua's silver ingot, Ma Du really itched his hands, he felt that he was split again, there was no way to hurt too deeply this time and lose too much, he always wanted to make up for it, but Lao Hu's silver was so easy to take? Who knows if the money will be clean?

"Director Hu's affairs are meager, and the official doesn't dare to accept such a generous gift, so I have received it. I only hope that Director Hu can be loyal and serve the prince. Ma Du clenched his fists in the direction of Ying Tian and said some high-sounding nonsense insincerely.

"Director Hu is capable and old, although the prince has not approved the resignation of the official, but the official should not come back, and when it comes to Yingtian, he will definitely show the credit of the prince to the prince. The affairs of the mine are all handled by Director Hu, and if there is something to report directly to the prince. ”

Ma Du's words are very clear, don't come to Lao Tzu if you have anything, I don't want to have anything to do with you.

Hu Weiyong heard it in his ears, it was a mess of emotion, it was the first time he had encountered such a good Shangguan. He is just an ordinary scholar, without academic diplomas like Liu Ji and Wang Guangyang, nor does he have a great reputation like Song Lian Yedui.

After Hu Weiyong defected to Lao Zhu, he was not immediately reused, but only found an errand in the Marshal's Mansion (Taiping Xingguo Wing Marshal's Mansion, Lao Zhu is the marshal, and Li Shanchang is in charge of the capital) - the Marshal's Mansion is on an errand.

After a long time, he became the chief secretary of Ningguo County and the order of Ningguo County, and this time he stepped down in response to the Tiandebriefing, and asked his backer Li Shanchang to get an errand for Ji'an Tongju.

Before Lao Zhu took office, he changed his position, the head of the Zhongshu Provincial Workshop, although the grade was not long, but under Lao Zhu's eyelids, even if he was given a prefect, he would not change anything.

It's a pity that his director, like Ma Du's official, has a suffix of "specializing in mining and smelting". He was a little dissatisfied, but Li Shanchang told him that it was a good errand and asked him to do it well, because the prince attached great importance to it.

Li Shanchang also told him that his Shangguan was the prince's brother-in-law, the princess's younger brother, and the new gentleman who was the new master of the Qinhuai River to suppress Master Mao, but he had some real skills, so he flattered him.

He climbed all the way up from a small official, and he has seen many Shangguan, who is not eager to grasp the power in his hands, and the lower officials only have the share of running errands, and they are tired and tired and have to be scolded for their bloody heads.

But this Shangguan, who was called a gentleman by Li Shanchang, was very different, he didn't care about anything and didn't ask anything, even if he took the initiative to report, at most he had to say "You watch and do it". Vaguely, he Hu Weiyong is the chief official here, and he is Zuo Shilangzhong of Zhongshu Province.

Now this Shangguan, who is too young to be good, is even more anxious to return to his hometown. Before leaving, Shangguan also said that he would let him "run alone" the affairs of the mine, and if there is something to directly "report to the prince", this is to make it clear that he wants to promote him!

Such a Shangguan is really hard to find with a lantern, and he must be more intimate in the future, and after running half a mile with the carriage, Hu Weiyong waved goodbye reluctantly, "Shangguan is good!" Your subordinates will visit you when they have time! "It's a good thing Madu didn't hear, or he would have jumped up from the carriage.

The big house is gone, Zhang Wuliu is very sad, even if it is only separated from Hezhou by a river, Zhang Wuliu has no face to see his grandmother, he is afraid that his grandmother will ask him if it is not suitable to live in his daughter's house and when will he pick him up.

Although Lao Liu didn't say it, Zhang Wuliu knew that Lao Liu was also very disappointed, and on the night when he just discovered the iron mine, Lao Liu also described to him the scene of bringing his wife and daughter, and his old face became a chrysanthemum, and he hadn't seen him smile in the past two days.

Of course, this is not the fault of adults, it is the fault of the prince, Zhang Wuliu never thought that he was such a prince. The adult looked very open, and comforted him and said that money is bullshit, he has a way to make money, and the big mansion will have it.

Of course Zhang Wuliu believes in the words of adults, who is an adult, no one knows better than him Zhang Wuliu.

Looking at Chang Mao, who was riding a horse and galloping back and forth on the road, Zhang Wuliu couldn't be angry, if it weren't for his guards who were talking too much when they responded to the sky, how could the iron ore be taken away by the prince.

It's good now, the prince not only made him a captain, but also rewarded him with a horse, and he didn't show off a lot along the way, see what he can do, why don't you fall down!

The sky gradually became gloomy, and in a short time it fell like a cow's hair, and the sky and the earth became foggy, and the ground became damp.

The guards hurriedly put on their robes, Chang Mao got off the horse and got into the carriage, looking at the fine small droplets of water on Chang Mao's head, Ma Du asked, "It's raining?" ”

Chang Mao nodded, "It's not going to be big, it is estimated that it will stop in a while, and it will be Yingtian soon, don't worry, we don't have to spend the night outside." ”

Ma Du lifted the curtain and instructed Lao Liu, who was driving: "Lao Liu, let's not go into the city, go to grandpa." ”

Chang Mao asked: "Brother Du, why don't you go back to the city, are you still angry, or I will go and beat up those two big-mouthed guards, and then invite you to Qinhuai River, even if I am brother, I will make amends to you." ”

Of course, Ma Du is not angry, since the iron ore is going to be excavated, it is absolutely impossible to keep it a secret, as long as Lao Zhu wants to, he can take it away at any time.

Of course, Ma Du is not angry with Lao Zhu, those who become big things are not informal, and they are also Lao Zhu's brothers-in-law, Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue (Guo Zixing's son) were both killed by Lao Zhu.

It's just an iron mine in Kengmadu, if you don't even have this black heart, Lao Zhu won't be the founder of the country, just go back to the temple to be a monk. Regarding Lao Zhu's shameless behavior, Ma Du can even give a certain degree of understanding, after all, he is burdened with the greatest survival pressure of this group.

"I'm not angry, not at all, as for the matter of Qin Huaihe, don't be in front of me in the future."

"Then why don't you go back to the city, how beautiful is the Wu Wangfu, and how comfortable it is to live."

Is it comfortable? Ma Du didn't think that Wu Wangfu was very comfortable to live in, anyway, he would have to move out sooner or later. He smiled: "Children are robbed of toys, of course you have to lose your temper, otherwise don't you think it's too scary?" ”

Chang Mao obviously didn't understand Ma Du's donkey's lips and didn't understand the horse's mouth, "If you don't go back, I won't go back!" ”

"Why? Afraid of going home and getting beaten? ”

"That's not it, my mother came with a letter, saying that I would follow you to mess around, and I became a captain after just one trip to Taiping Mansion, and I may be bigger than my father's official if I run with you a few more times."

"How dare you think about it!"

The drizzle is drizzling with cooking smoke, and the courtyard standing by the river is inexplicably warm. The newly built house is also emitting green smoke, it seems that the villagers have moved in, fortunately, the tent they lived in has not been demolished, so that the guards can live, and of course, Wang Dazhui's family.

Wang Dazhui never expected that he doubled his goal of changing careers, and Lao Zhu rewarded him with twenty acres of land, well, that's all.

Ma Du asked this guy to be a steward in the mine or something, but he didn't do it, and when the first furnace of pig iron was produced, he begged Ma Du to take him away, probably because he was afraid of being bullied in the mine, this guy has savings and skills, but he doesn't care about the meager wages in the mine.

The land that Lao Zhu rewarded Wang Da Hammer was next to the land of Lao Loach, and he put this "master of prospecting" under his nose, probably because he was afraid that he would run away.

As soon as the carriage entered the courtyard, the sound of children jumping was heard, but this time Madu was left out in the cold, and several children jumped into the carriage and drilled around in the carriage.

This carriage was originally given to Ma Du by Lao Zhu to facilitate his correspondence between Taiping Mansion and Yingtian. Although Madu had no intention of continuing to be the "mine manager", the carriage was not prepared to be returned to him.

"Xiaodu came just in time, just ready to eat!" The old loach looked at Chang Mao, "Why did you kid come to my house to eat again." ”

"I'm really embarrassed, old man, not only do I want to eat, but my family's guards also want to, Lao Niu will go to their storehouse to get rice and vegetables, and go to make a fire to cook."

The old loach shook his hand very chicly, "We are big families, who is rare in this bit of rice grain." The old man was dressed in a dark silk robe, with his hands behind his back, and he really had a bit of an extraneous bearing, but why did his face hurt.

On the table in the living room, tonight's meal was set, stir-fried pork with celery, stewed pork with radish, a steamed fish, a plate of fried small fish, and a large bowl of soup, and the rice bowl was also full of white flowers.

Grandpa finally got the hang of it, although it's not very rich, and there is still a big gap with those really big families, but after all, it's a good start.

"Don't play in the car, hurry up and eat!" Madu stretched out his hand to greet a few small ones.

The water chestnut threw herself into Ma Du's arms, "Brother, this carriage is so beautiful, and the horse is also very well-behaved, can you let the water chestnut sit in the carriage tomorrow, and the water chestnut promises not to go far." ”

Xiao Yu'er hugged Ma Du's neck from behind, "Xiao Yu'er wants it too!" ”

"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat, whoever doesn't eat, don't let anyone sit!"

The food is not bad, although it can't be made with all the color and flavor, the taste is still very good, especially the fried small fish is crispy and crispy.

"The craftsmanship of the big fish is really getting better and better!" Madu gave a thumbs up to the girl.

"It's all taught by Aunt Wang!"

The old loach smiled: "The fire head girl has been a cook in a big family, and she didn't have the conditions to do it before, so now I can enjoy the blessings." ”

Seeing that Chang Mao's stomach was twitching again, Ma Du hurriedly stepped on his foot, Ma Du knew what he was laughing at, eating this kind of dish could only be regarded as a small family in the eyes of a really big family.

Without waiting for Chang Mao to speak, Ma Du picked up a large piece of pork and stuffed it into his mouth. Madu soon noticed that the children only ate fish, but not meat, and even if the chopsticks reached out to the plate, they only had a celery or a slice of radish.

These children are also used to saving, and Ma Du sandwiched a large piece of it for each of them, "Eat them all, don't save them." ”

Chang Mao also doesn't seem to like pork very much, and is interested in fried small fish like Mado.

When the big guys ate one by one, there were only two very abrupt plates of pork left on the table, the reason why it was so described was because the celery and radish on the plate were all eaten, but the pork was still there.

Just now, the four younger siblings kept picking vegetables from the plate one by one, were they just eating celery and radish? Isn't pork as good as celery radish?

When he was puzzled, he saw the old loach suddenly take away all the remaining pork, and he said with a smile: "Put away the rest of the meat, and fill it with celery and radish tomorrow, and two more meat dishes!" Hey hey ......"

Ma Du couldn't wait to rush out a mouthful of old blood, it turned out that these two plates of meat and vegetables were set up by the old man to take care of the face of the "big family" and set the table for people to see, and the four small ones only ate the dishes inside and did not eat meat, it is estimated that the old man did not let them eat.

No wonder people say that it takes three generations to become a nobleman, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to get rid of this earthy smell on the body.

Watching the old loach carry the pork out of the hall, Chang Mao couldn't hold back anymore, holding his stomach and laughing, "Just let me laugh, this is the most interesting thing I've encountered this year, you laugh too, I know you want to laugh too, hahaha......"

Zhang Wuliu's voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard, "Old lady, what are you doing here?" Leftovers? The leftovers are good, the leftovers of the adults used to be for the villains, Lao Liu, come on, the adults are starting to eat leftovers again......"

Then came the hurried footsteps of the old man, and the hoarse cry of the distant voice, "My meat, you bastard, give me back my meat!" ”

Ma Du tilted his head and smiled and looked at the four small ones, "If you want to laugh, laugh, haha......"
