Zhang You beckoned to Mary, Mary approached suspiciously, heard what he said in his ear, and her eyes widened: "It's that simple?" Does it work? ”

"Give it a try, won't you?" As he spoke, he walked out, and the last word came out, Zhang You had already left the small courtyard.

"Don't expose yourself to the sun, keep it moist at all times...... The weather seemed to be fine the other day, is it really because of this? Mary muttered to herself, but in English, much to the confusion of the crowd.

Lan Qi chased out first, and then Guo Zaoqing and Xu Guangqi also reacted and chased her out of the small courtyard.

"I forgot what I had read about in any book, this kind of concrete cannot be exposed to the sun, especially in this season, it is best to pour some water from time to time, so that it will be strong when it dries." Zhang You made up a random nonsense to deal with the three people who were full of curiosity, and looking at their surprised eyes, he felt that the humid and stuffy weather due to the evaporation of water vapor was not so unbearable.

Many things are like this, on the surface it seems extremely complicated, but in fact, the real principle is as simple as one plus one equals two, and scientific research is the process and means of simplifying the complex.

Zhang You is not a genius, he is just very lucky to stand on the shoulders of giants.

Zhang You has been too busy recently, it is rare to come to the Gewu Institute, Zhao Shizhen rushed to hear the news, two firearms geniuses plus a Guo Zaoqing, you and I have told me a lot of recent difficulties, he will help solve them if they can solve them, and if they can't solve them, he will try to help them point out a correct research direction according to his memory.

Lan Qi has always been by his side, although he can't understand many things, but he feels the admiration of the three of them from time to time, and he still feels honored, and his heart is sweet, like drinking elixir.

"Passing on the industry to solve doubts" finally came to an end, Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen left satisfied, Guo Zaoqing suddenly said: "By the way, Zicheng, the general political envoy Min Tingjia and Wei Yunzhen, the imperial history of the capital, wrote a letter, saying that the scale of Zunhua iron smelting production is too large, and more than 400,000 catties of wrought iron and refined steel are produced every year, all of which are returned to the inner warehouse, resulting in a shortage of iron for the people, and the price of the iron sold by the emperor is too high, and there is a suspicion of competing with the people, applying for the closure of Zunhua iron smelting and allowing the private iron smelting ......"

"When?" Zhang You interrupted Guo Zaoqing in surprise.

"You don't know? Let me tell you what you think...... It was this morning, I went to the War Bureau to do business, and listened to what Gao Chunhe said. ”

Gao Chunhe was originally the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Prison, and the palm print of the former War Bureau died of a vicious disease, Zhang Whale took the lead and pushed Liu Yu to take over, but unfortunately his butt died before Zhang Whale could sit hot, and the position of the palm print of the War Bureau naturally fell back to Gao Chunhe, who Li Wenjin originally wanted to recommend.

"What's going on with Zunhua Iron Smelting?" Zhang You had a faint impression, but he couldn't tell whether it was the memory from the afterlife or the memory from the ontology - it had been several months, and many things had been fused together, and all kinds of things in the afterlife were like dreams.

"That is our Ming Dynasty official iron smelting scale of the largest and longest production of the iron plant, under the Ministry of Industry, located in Jizhou Zunhua County west of more than 80 miles, sunrise iron four times, not only to produce raw wrought iron, but also to make steel. Eight years after Jiajing, more than 400,000 catties of cooked land can be produced there a year. Since most of the labor used in this iron-smelting plant is the military craftsmen to which Jizhou Liuwei belongs, I am very familiar with it and have been there many times. ”

Zhang You frowned slightly: "Things shouldn't be so high-sounding on the surface, right?" Min Tingjia I don't know much about it, that Wei Yunzhen is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, if there is no benefit, he can't be so active. ”

Guo Zaoqing smiled and said, "You kid speaks badly, but it's also appropriate...... In fact, it's easy to put it bluntly, but someone has taken a fancy to this piece of fat. ”

"I guess, but is it Li Chengliang, the former general soldier of Liaodong?"

Guo Zaoqing was shocked: "How did you guess it?" ”

"This is not simple, Qi Shuai has been the general soldier of Jizhou for many years in the past, and this Zunhua iron smelting is safe and sound, but now the two general soldiers have just been transferred to this file, how can they not run the relationship between Li Chengliang...... This old guy, the transfer of the general soldiers of the two towns was a bit of his intention, why did he still not repent, and he started to look for trouble before he sat firmly in his new position? ”

"Actually, I mentioned this matter last year, and I got the support of Qiu Hu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, but Master Taifu is still in his position, and Feng Bao is also in charge of the seal of the ceremonial supervisor, so it didn't succeed."

"Isn't Qiu Hu a waiter of the Criminal Department now?" Zhang You was quite impressed by this guy and couldn't help asking.

"Well, it was because of this incident that he offended Zeng Xingwu, and later Zhang Cheng spoke for him, so he was transferred to the Criminal Department."

No wonder in history, these two people went to raid Zhang's mansion together, and they were really embarrassed.

Zhang You frowned, the forces of the inner court and the outer court are complicated, then Li Chengliang's door is quite wide, and he can talk to anyone, and he is said to be smooth in history, but he is not wronged at all.

"What is Your Majesty's attitude?"

Guo Zaoqing said: "What just happened in the morning, Your Majesty is afraid that you don't know yet." ”

After a pause, he said: "Originally, I didn't care about this matter, the key Wei Yunzhen's recital also mentioned our Gewu Institute, saying that in order to build a steel mill, there was a conflict with the local people as soon as he arrived in Miyun, and after the steel mill was built in the future, there might be some trouble......

"I'm his uncle," Zhang You patted the case: "The tiger is not powerful, he really treats me as a sick cat, right?" No, I'll go to the palace to see Your Majesty, last time Li Zhi impeached me, this kid was behind the trouble, I didn't pay attention to them, this time, I can't spare him lightly! ”

Zhang You took Lan Qi into the palace without even eating lunch, Lan Qi stopped by to see Empress Dowager Li, and he went to Qianqing Palace angrily.

"What's the matter? Who owes you money and doesn't pay it back? ”

Zhu Yijun was sitting cross-legged on the kang to review the folds, and when he saw that Zhang You's expression was not good, he couldn't help but stop writing and joke.

Zhang You didn't answer immediately, but first glanced at the two piles of flowers stacked high on the kang table, knelt down to salute, got up and said, "Your Majesty is diligent in serving the people, it is really a blessing in the world...... Weichen heard that Min Tingjia and Wei Yunzhen, the envoy of the general government, applied for the closure of Zunhua Iron Metallurgy, I wonder if Your Majesty has seen these two folds? ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and said: "Didn't I mention it last year, Taifu rejected it at the time, and I only found out about it afterwards, why did I mention it again?" ”

As he spoke, he went to look at the folds that had not yet been approved, Zhang You also took two steps forward, hesitated, but didn't dare to help - this is a fold, if you meddle at will without Zhu Yijun's permission, it is absolutely taboo. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that Zhu Yijun will not be surprised.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, help find it!"
