Regarding the attention of holding the guise of celebrating Yang Meiren's birthday, it was still Yun Niang and her before leaving, Abu helped them think about it in advance. After all, if they want to do things in Chang'an City, the royal family is a hurdle that they can't overcome, and the purpose of their trip is not to get along with others, but to publicize and build momentum.

Therefore, regardless of whether the current saint or Yang Meiren understands it or not, what should be said still has to be said, anyway, there is no spokesperson in the current era, as long as it is not too outrageous, there should be no problem in principle, after all, Yang Yuhuan is still the first batch of customers of the perfume they produce, and it is also appropriate to help advertise and strengthen the momentum.

After Yun Niang and their group arrived at the branch, they were warmly welcomed by the friends of Chang'an, Li Zhengqi and Li Shiqian led all the waiters and staff, and lined up to greet Yun Niang, and welcomed them, the smile on their faces and the joy from the bottom of their hearts washed away the fatigue and hard work of Yun Niang's journey.

Soon after Li Zhengqi and Li Shiqian got married, they were appointed by Abu to Chang'an to be in charge of the business of Abu's branch.

In the past, Abu had taken Li Zhengqi to do things a few times, and he found that this young man was sincere, but he was more lively in his work, and he was more suitable for surviving in Chang'an, a metropolis with mixed dragonfish and fish.

Moreover, during his training in the valley, he was quite top-notch in terms of psychological quality and physical skills, so he was entrusted with an important task and placed in such an important position in Chang'an City.

At the bonfire party that year, Li Shiqian played a solo song of the dong flute, which fascinated Li Zhengqi, and his mind belonged to Li Shiqian alone.

Originally, Li Shiqian was not very impressed with Li Zhengqi, as a girl with a more introverted and quiet personality, she was more yearning for a sunny and handsome young man like Lu Gang.

But sometimes life is like this, the object of her affection is not cold to him, but Li Zhengqi is like a moth to a fire, constantly wanting her to be courteous, especially in the valley, Li Zhengqi is crazy to try to make all kinds of glass balls, when others have not even seen the bead flowers, in fact, Li Shiqian has several strings there.

Sincerely, the gold and stone are open! Later, Li Shiqian was moved by his sincerity and finally agreed to Li Zhengqi's pursuit.

In Li Zhengqi's eyes, Li Shiqian is simply a fairy in the sky, perfect to the extreme, and she is afraid that it will damage Li Shiqian's beauty even if she holds it in the palm of her hand.

Under his careful care, Li Shiqian was pampered as if she had fallen into a honey pot, and the life of the two after marriage was also very harmonious, and the days when Li Zhengqi was crazy about making glass balls have become their best memories.

After Yun Niang arrived, everyone who had not returned to the valley for a long time could be regarded as seeing their relatives, and they all shouted and asked for warmth, exchanged messages with each other, and talked about the new things they had experienced.

When Li Zhengqi learned the purpose of Yun Niang, he was very happy, which means that the branches around the country will have another heavyweight "gold-absorbing" product.

The day after Yun Niang arrived, Li Zhengqi personally sent the prepared gifts into the backyard of the palace according to her instructions.

But fortunately, according to Abu's plan, he promised a lot of money to the small porter who was in charge of purchasing and entering the palace, and asked him to send the gift to Eunuch Guo.

It is estimated that after Eunuch Guo gets the gift, he will not dare to swallow it privately, the gift that Abu left for him is enough, and the new perfume will be sent to Yang Meiren's hands again. Let her help make an endorsement, the benefits that should be given still have to be given, after all, the current impression on her is related to various development plans, in case she starts to make trouble in it one day, what plan she wants to carry out will be hindered.

After Li Zhengqi came back, he boasted in front of Yun Niang that Mr. Abu had an idea, otherwise he really didn't know how to send the gift to the palace unconsciously.

Yun Niang didn't care about these, but urged the girls below to hurry up the rehearsal, after all, the real opening time was very tight.

Abu, who was busy improving the steam locomotive in the valley, had just sorted out a clue, and before he had time to be happy, he received urgent news from Hengzhou, and he had to put down his work and need to rush to Hengzhou immediately.

It turned out that the manganese mine they opened in Hengzhou had a mining accident some time ago, and more than a dozen lives were taken into it, and the local government was furious and ordered to shut down the manganese mine.

Although the bereavement of the families of the mining victims and the relevant departments were in place afterwards, the strange thing was that the other party just did not let go, and in the end there was really nothing to be done, and Zhang Zhichang, the person in charge of the manganese mine, had to send an urgent message to Abu for help.

In the past few years, the development of muskets and steam engines in the valley has a lot to do with the smooth mining of manganese ore, and this is also related to the future development plan, which cannot be missed.

After thinking about it, Absi finally handed over the unfinished work in his hand to Fang Zhengyi, and at the same time made an explanation, then took Lu Gang, and the two got up and went to Hengzhou.

Two days later, Fang Zhengyi, who was busy with various affairs in his hands, also rushed to Gumozhou City with a generous gift to visit Wen Chu.

At this time, Wen Sima stood in a formal manner under the case of the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, Meng Lingjing, and bowed his head to listen to the inquiry. Fu Meng Lingjing moved behind the wide chair under his buttocks to make himself sit more comfortably, and at the same time said to Wen Chu: "Deputy Wen Duhu, I heard that the backer Hou Abu was very close to you in the past, and the two of you are also called brothers. Tell me, what's going on with that steam engine he's getting now? ”

In the past few years, Wen Chu has been promoted all the way from a soldier Cao, and has been promoted to the deputy capital protector of the fourth grade, and the credit should be said to have a lot to do with Abu, so it is said that Fumeng Lingjing said that he and Abu are close, and there is really nothing wrong with it.

Every year, the Western Regions not only provide Datang with a large number of high-quality war horses, but also provide sophisticated weapons. Once the four towns of Anxi fall into the hands of the Tubo people, the blow to the Tang Dynasty will be very serious.

Therefore, in recent years, in order to deal with the situation in Tubo and firmly control the territory of the Western Regions, Emperor Xuanzong has had a bit of a taste of recklessness. As long as the situation in the battle against Tibet is tight or at a disadvantage, the saint will be furious, and then the envoy of Anxi Jiedu will be unlucky. Over the years, the candidates for the Anxi Festival envoys have been changed like a marquee, from the previous Wang Husi to Tian Renzhu, and then replaced by Gai Jiayun, until the current Fumeng Lingjing.

To say that these officials are all wine bags and rice bags, and they have no real talent and learning, it is really a bit wrong. Take Gai Jiayun as an example, in the summer of the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, he led his troops to conquer the Tuqi Shi, defeated the people of Sumodu, and captured the Fire Luo Immortal in battle, and made great achievements. It can be seen that this is also a fierce general! It's a pity that when he played against Tubo, his record was not too beautiful, so he was replaced by Shengshang.

It should be said that the luck of this Fu Meng Lingjing Festival envoy is very good, since he took office the year before last, the situation of the Tang Dynasty against Tubo has changed suddenly, and he has won victories. So even with it, Fumeng Lingjing also became popular in front of Emperor Xuanzong, and it is said that he has been given the surname "Ma" by the saint, and he should be called Ma Lingjing Festival in the near future.

Wen Chu pondered for a moment and replied: "My lord, I do have a personal personal relationship with the patron Hou Abu, but because the distance is too far, I usually don't move around much, I only heard that he often goes in and out of the prince of Qiuzi; So I don't know much about this steam engine. ”

Wen Chu said this very level, first of all, he admitted that he had a close relationship with Abu, first, he showed that he was responsible, and second, my lord, your investigation was also very accurate. Also, because the two of us are so far apart, I don't know much about what a steam engine is, which is understandable. In the end, it was faintly pointed out that Abu and the prince of Qiuzi have a close relationship, even if you are a festival envoy, even if you don't go to the Tao, you won't get too stiff with the king of Qiuci, a sitting tiger.

Sure enough, Fu Meng's tone softened and said: "It is said that the steam locomotive he built has the power of thousands of horses, and the workload that takes more than ten days to complete with manual labor and cattle and horses can be pulled away at once with it."

However, the steam engine was made entirely of steel, and the rails used to pave the road in advance also required a lot of steel.

Where do you think he got so much steel? If some people with ulterior motives participate in a book in front of the saint, I guess you will have to explain it well. ”

After Wen Chu heard this, he sighed in his heart, the words of the Jiedu envoy could not be said to be unreasonable, and he also complained a little bit about Abu, you made such a big guy, tell me in advance, I'm a little prepared, isn't it?

At this moment, he suddenly heard a report from a herald in front of the door, and Fu Meng Lingjing summoned him in, and the herald said: "Someone outside asks to see Deputy Wen Duhu, according to him, he said that he was sent by the Marquis Abu of the backer, and he also called himself the chief designer." ”
