———— the following text————

"Third uncle, you are smiling so ...... It's a bit of a. ”

Sitting down opposite Zhao Laiyu, Zhao Hongrun said with a strange expression.

It's no wonder, after all, the third uncle Zhao Laiyu is already old and wrinkled, and this smile is even more penetrating.

Because he had already understood Zhao Hongrun's character, Zhao Laiyu was not angry, he just rolled his eyes, and then, he said with a smile: "Yesterday in Jiying Palace, Hongrun, you did a great thing......

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had just received the tea from the people in the house, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Third uncle, have you heard?" Saying that, he didn't wait for the long-winded old man to speak, and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "This time I was impulsive, the third uncle forgive me." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Good impulsive, good impulsive......"

"Did this old man eat the wrong thing?" Why are you so good at talking today?'

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Laiyu suspiciously, and said tentatively: "Third uncle, why are you here today?" ”

"It's King Chengling, they let the old man ...... Let's find out. Zhao Laiyu said a word, then stood up and said, "It's not too early, it's time for the old man to leave." ”

After that, he left the stunned Zhao Hongrun, and actually really said goodbye and left.

"This old man, he won't really be old and confused, right?" Looking at the back of Zhao Laiyu leaving, Zhao Hongrun muttered in dismay.

You must know that in terms of encircling domestic nobles, he also needs Zhao Laiyu, an old horse, to guide him.

Just when Zhao Hongrun was stunned, Zong Wei Wei Jiao and Gao Kuo walked in from the far side of the courtyard, and after respectfully greeting Zhao Laiyu who was passing by, they walked into the hall.

Compared with Wei Jiao, Gao Kuo looked at His Royal Highness, and faintly had a sense of wanting to speak and stopping, but Zhao Hongrun was drinking tea with his head down and didn't notice it.

"Your Highness, do you have any itinerary for today?" Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao asked.

Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the General Administration of Metallurgy and Manufacturing first." ”

"Yes, the lowly will immediately order someone to prepare the car." Wei Jiao said.

Zhao Hongrun waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "Don't take the carriage, I drank a night of wine yesterday, and I haven't recovered at this time, if the carriage is bumpy, I have to vomit in the carriage." …… Wei Jiao, you ask someone to prepare a few horses, let's go slowly. ”

"Yes!" Wei Jiao nodded in response.

After a while, Zhao Hongrun led Qi'er, Wei Jiao, and Gao Kuo to ride horses to the General Administration of Metallurgy.

Today's itinerary is very simple, first go to the General Administration of Metallurgy in the city to see, and then go to the workshops and hearths outside the city to inspect, if there are no problems, today's matter is over.

However, when Zhao Hongrun and his party rode slowly towards the General Administration of Metallurgy, Zhao Hongrun found that many people on the streets along the way stopped to watch him.

Obviously, it was because of the celebration of the triumph by the people in the city the day before yesterday that the number of people in Daliang City who recognized Zhao Hongrun increased dramatically, and there was no longer the situation of "only knowing his name and not knowing his face".

Suddenly, a man on the street shouted, "Your Royal Highness King Su, we support you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people of Daliang who stopped to watch on both sides of the street also spoke out one after another, expressing their support for Zhao Hongrun.

"Huh?"

Although Zhao Hongrun felt inexplicable, it was not good to cool down the enthusiasm of the people of Daliang, so he returned the salute and said: "Okay, thank you for your love." ”

I don't know if it's because of his humble actions, on the way to the General Administration of Metallurgy, there were people on both sides of the street who spat remarks similar to "support His Royal Highness King Su", which made Zhao Hongrun feel in the clouds.

Because the scene was too hot, a team of patrol guards encountered along the way temporarily acted as Zhao Hongrun's guard, protecting His Royal Highness King Su to go to the General Administration of Metallurgy in the crowd of the people.

In the end, Zhao Hongrun arrived at the General Administration of Metallurgy and said with a smile to the leader of the guards: "Today, somehow, the people in the city are too eager......

The team leader smiled, and then said excitedly: "Your Highness, most of my brothers of the guards also support you!" …… Although the humble person is soft-spoken, he is willing to serve His Royal Highness! ”

"Uh...... Thanks a lot. Zhao Hongrun was dumbfounded, and gestured to Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao with his eyes.

Wei Jiao understood, and was about to come forward to reward, but saw that Gao Kuo took the lead to pull the team leader aside, and he didn't know what to say, anyway, when the team of guards finally said goodbye to Zhao Hongrun and others, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Gao Kuo, how much did you reward them?" Zhao Hongrun asked Gao Kuo curiously afterwards.

Gao Kuo replied, "Ten taels." ”

"Ten taels? It's not much, how can you do it......

Glancing at the backs of those departing guards, Zhao Hongrun became more and more confused.

After waiting for the group to step into the General Administration of Metallurgy, Zhao Hongrun felt strangely that he was extremely excited when he saw the craftsmen and officials of his Smelting Bureau along the way.

"Your Highness, are you here?"

"His Royal Highness King Su, are you here to inspect my Smelting Bureau?"

"Your Highness, we are waiting for your highness!"

Seeing a large group of people surrounding him to show his loyalty, Zhao Hongrun felt even more inexplicable.

"Was it me who led the troops during this period and snubbed these people in the Smelting Bureau? How do you do it...... Like you've seen me for the first time?'

Just when Zhao Hongrun was secretly guessing, he saw Wang Fu, director of the General Administration of Metallurgy and Manufacturing, who had received the news, hurriedly rushed over, and bowed his hand and said: "Your Highness, Wang Fu has missed the distance, and I hope that Your Highness will forgive your sins." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Hongrun has never cared about this kind of false courtesy, waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and at the same time signaled Wang Fu with his eyes.

Wang Fu understood, coughed, clapped his palms and said, "Everyone, everyone, all scattered, all scattered." ”

Seeing this, these craftsmen and officials of the Smelting Bureau who surrounded Zhao Hongrun and his party were reluctant to leave and continue to busy their work.

Under the guidance of Wang Fu, Zhao Hongrun came to the former's class.

Sitting on the chair in the room, he took the account book handed over by Wang Fu, carefully looked at the income and expenditure of the Smelting Bureau in the past six months, and saw that the account book clearly listed a sum of money of different sizes, and he nodded secretly in his heart.

You must know that today's smelting bureau is no longer in decline, and its income and expenditure are astronomical, and Zhao Hongrun must grasp this point.

However, after verification, the income and expenditure of the Smelting Bureau are still relatively standardized, of course, this is also related to the fact that the Smelting Bureau does not have any spare money - the cooperation between the Smelting Bureau and the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry is allocated by signing a bill, and each sign is signed by the chief officer in charge of the project.

While Zhao Hongrun was flipping through the account books, Wang Fu was on the side to report on the recent progress of the Metallurgical Construction Bureau.

The latest progress of the project is mainly two things, the first is the "Bolangsha River Port", a major project that has taken six years for the smelting bureau, and under the construction of Zhao Hongrun who spared no effort to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, it is finally about to enter the final stage.

Of course, this refers to the dock area.

The next step for the General Administration of Metallurgy is to demolish some non-standard buildings in the Bolangsha River Port - these buildings are mainly temporary buildings built during the construction of the river port to facilitate the food and accommodation of craftsmen.

After the demolition of these irregular buildings, the construction department of the Ministry of Industry will rebuild houses and shops here, and at that time, Bolangsha may become a river port city that is even more prosperous than Daliang, and become the center of the river trade route.

As for another major event, it is the completion of the "Liang Lu Canal".

In fact, this canal has been completed, but because the canal passes through the sphere of influence of the "Song rebels", therefore, if this canal wants to be really put into use, it must be agreed by the imperial court and the leader of the Song rebels "Song Yun" - in fact, in the second half of the Wei war, the Song rebels saw that Wei was at a disadvantage and fell into the embarrassment of lack of food and grass, and temporarily acquiesced to Wei's use of Lianglu canal.

It was precisely because of the acquiescence of Song Yun's rebels that Wei was able to purchase a large amount of grain from the land of Qilu and transport it back to China, just like Zhao Hongrun's Wang Yongshang Wen Shaobo.

But now that Wei has won the war, Song Yun, the leader of the Song rebels, was worried that the Wei State would get rid of them with them, so he sent rebels to block the upper reaches of Surabaya and cut off part of the area near the Lu State - only by solving the problem of the Song rebels can the Liang Lu Canal be put into use again, and the two countries of Qi and Lu can really join the trade circle of the Wei State.

There is no need for Zhao Hongrun to worry about this, I heard that the imperial court has sent people to recruit the rebels of the Song land, but the final result is not yet clear, if Song Yun, the leader of the rebel army of the Song land, insists on disrespecting the Wei state, it may not be possible for the Wei country to send troops.

After all, the agreement of "Song County Autonomy" was signed between the Wei court and Nangong Yao, and now Nangong Yao has committed a bad act of betraying Wei, and the Wei court naturally wants to abolish this agreement and truly include the Song land. After all, more than ten years have passed, and the Song people's disgust and resistance to the Wei State are no longer as strong as they were at the beginning, and in this case, the imperial court is naturally happy to take back the rich Song land.

As for the attitude of the Song rebels towards this, Zhao Hongrun was not sure, but he knew very well that the court's gift to Song Yun this time was just to see the face of the Song rebels standing on the side of the Wei camp to meet the Chu army during this war, which did not mean that Wei was unable to clean up this rebel force.

If the rebels of the Song Land are stubborn, it is only a matter of time before I believe that the Wei State will send troops to the Song Land.

In the war of the five forces of "Qin, Sichuan, Chu, Han, and Nangong" against the Wei State, the Wei State defeated all kinds of armies, and now, there is no country or any force in the Central Plains that can stop the pace of the rise of the Wei State.

Han Chu is still like this, let alone a mere Song rebel?

Closing the account book in his hand with a snap, Zhao Hongrun Zhengse ordered: "Liang Luqu will be put aside for the time being, and wait for the results of the Ministry of Rites to recruit An, first step up the matter over there in Bolangsha, demolish the non-standard buildings in the river port as soon as possible, and then hand it over to the Ministry of Industry to take over. ”

"Yes." Wang Fu respectfully surrendered his hand, and then, when he saw Zhao Hongrun preparing to get up, he resolutely said: "Your Highness, the humble position and the Smelting Bureau are all for Your Highness!" ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun was stunned and looked at Wang Fu inexplicably.

"Did all of these people I met today eat the wrong thing?"

He couldn't figure it out.
