Chapter 435: Busy and Tired

In April, the morning breeze of early summer came from the east and swept through the entire capital of Luoyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"How is Meng Yuanwai's workshop built? Forget it, send him all these texts, and tell him that he should first tidy up a room and start printing, and don't put the matter of the coin prison on hold, and let me know as soon as there is a notice there, and besides, Master Huang Zhuang will send someone today to ask him to meet me at Tianxiang Academy. ”

Early in the morning, Dong Ce began to instruct work, and after Zhen Wan recorded the matter, he was about to leave with the text, when he suddenly heard Dong Ce say to Zhang Dagui, who was also waiting in the house: "How is the matter investigated?" ”

"Back to the sect leader, find out, He Chaoxiu has already gone out of the city with the Imperial Forest Army!"

When Zhen Wan heard this, he couldn't move his footsteps.

Dong Ce ignored her, and said directly: "The Imperial Forest Army will not leave Zhongzhou easily, at most, it will raze the White Lotus Sect in Zhongzhou, in this way, you continue to arrange for people to follow up, as long as you find out that the Imperial Forest Army has handed over He Chaoxiu, immediately inform Zhong Xiaoling of the news, I have already told him about the matter, he knows what to do." ”

"Sect Master, rest assured!" After Zhang Dagui finished speaking, he immediately bowed down and retreated.

Dong Ce looked at Zhen Wan, who hadn't moved yet, and frowned: "What, do you want to do it yourself?" ”

"No, Wan'er just thinks ......"

"Don't think too much, for the sake of safety, I won't do it under the nose of the Royal Forest Army, so the White Lotus Sect in Zhongzhou can only look at themselves."

Zhen Wan nodded and said, "I have also told them that if they don't believe it, they will be to blame, but pity those believers." ”

"There's nothing to be pitiful, if you still can't bear it, it's better to go for a run after finishing what you're doing, and I'll let Hall Master Zhang help you."

Dong Ce finally said this, Zhen Wan actually understood that the owner wanted to subdue the followers of the White Lotus Sect, and as for the small leaders of the White Lotus Sect, those who could be used by him might be able to stay, and the rest might ......

Zhen Wan actually had this in mind for a long time, but she couldn't make up her mind until the death of the Ninth Master made her completely lose confidence in the White Lotus Sect!

Now Dong Ce has so many things that he doesn't have time to drink tea, on the one hand, he has to train those sons' daughters, and on the other hand, he has to work hard for business, but that's it, there are also things that make him feel uneasy!

"I said Uncle Meng, the virtuous nephew said something unpleasant, you are too bad for our Ning Shang demeanor!" Dong Ce looked at Meng Cunlang very dissatisfied.

Meng Cunlang smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this worried that movable type printing will be learned by people." ”

"So what?" Dong Ce was really annoyed, this old fox didn't want to hire someone in Beijing for movable type printing, which caused the printing workshop project to be extremely slow.

"What do you say about this nephew, we said in our letter at the beginning, you give me the technical text of movable type printing, and I will give you interest......"

"It's shares." Dong Ce corrected.

"Good, good, it's shares." Meng Cunlang nodded, and said cautiously: "We have signed the contract, it is clearly written in it, and you have no right to interfere with any of my decisions." ”

"It's not that I'm in the way, but to give you business, if you don't do it, I can give it to someone else, I don't think any printing workshop in the whole world will refuse this price."

"Virtuous nephew, you ......"

Dong Ce didn't give Meng Cunlang a chance to continue, and continued: "You are too timid like this, what's the difference between being neat and making a small fuss? Movable type printing can indeed make all workshops red-eyed, but can you hide it for a while, for a lifetime? Wouldn't the craftsmen you brought from Jinling steal the masters? Sooner or later, it will spread all over the world, and we are not short of this money, but of this name! We just want the whole world to know that movable type printing starts from the Four Treasures, can you understand? ”

"This ...... Cough! "It's not that Meng Cunlang has no vision, it's really hard to change his nature!

In these years, all walks of life have the ability to take care of the house, such as the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of his Four Treasures Workshop, the workmanship has a unique secret technique, how to make the brush not dehaired, the black and bright of the ink, the best fragrant rice paper, how to burn the best inkstone, etc., these are not the secrets, so he naturally hopes that the same is true for movable type printing.

But this really can't be hidden, just look at people to understand, not even the recipe is needed, at most it's just the choice of movable type materials.

"Okay, I'll hire more." Meng Cunlang smiled bitterly, thinking that he could only leave his name, and it was too difficult to keep his skills.

After solving this trivial matter, without waiting for Dong Ce to rush to Tianxiang Academy, Huang Zhongqin actually visited in person.

"Dong Zhangjiao, when are you going to go to the horse farm with me, you can't delay it any longer!" Huang Zhongqin can count on the horse farm, if it fails, he will be bankrupt!

Dong Ce also invested tens of thousands of taels, so naturally he didn't want to see the horse farm fail, but he was too busy here, and he couldn't get out!

"Don't worry, Huang Zhuang owner, at the latest two days, I will go to finalize the project in the next month, this matter is not in a hurry, it is best to wait for the Ministry of Industry to expand the farmland in Zhongzhou, we can let the horse farm open, it is still a long time."

"It won't grow much anymore!" Huang Zhongqin smiled bitterly: "I have already received the news, the Empress Dowager of Qin Duzhou has approved it, and the Ministry of Industry has also taken over, so there will definitely not be a second place in the entire Luoyang Mansion to build a horse farm." ”

Dong Ce also knew about this earlier, and said with a smile: "So what are you worried about, we are in a big construction, we can't be in a hurry, by the way, we didn't cut corners!" ”

"Huang is guarding day and night, do you think it's possible!" Huang Zhongqin is almost speechless to death, for the horse farm, he is doing everything, he does not live in Luoyang City, he is boiling in the barren mountains and mountains every day, he is afraid that a whole is not good, the horse farm is up, but because of cutting corners, he will not only lose all his money, but even lose his head!

"It's really hard to work Huang Zhuang Master, okay, in this way, tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely go over."

Huang Zhongqin was sent away here, Dong Ce had just returned to Tianxiang Academy, and before he could teach, he saw Zhang Yibo appear outside the classroom, Dong Ce knew that this matter could not be pushed, so he could only leave a few questions on the blackboard, and then went to see the Queen Mother with Zhang Yibo.

"The Queen Mother works hard for state affairs day and night, and she still has the leisure to go out of the palace to play." Dong Ce said incorrectly.

Empress Dowager Yin did not press the road with Dong Ce this time, but was in the courtyard of the backyard of the Xuezi Temple, and lay on Dong Ce's rocking chair.

"Yes, I've been really tired lately, but for some reason the mourning family just can't sleep, but I just came here and lay down on this chair, if you hadn't come, the mourning family would have fallen asleep."

Dong Ce simply asked the sixth son to make tea, planning to rest and rest, but the rocking chair was occupied, and he couldn't rush the queen mother to get up, so he could only pull a stool and sit aside, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Is it okay, the mourning family can't come?"

"It's okay, what are you doing here? Honestly tired me, right? Dong Ce scolded secretly in his heart, but said: "The Queen Mother has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and if you want to come this time, it is no exception!" ”

"Then you are wrong, this time, the mourning family is indeed here to sit, there is no one in this palace, who do you want to say a word to, all you want to say to is a compliment, so the mourning family ...... Only...... Think...... Talking to you...... Chatting ...... "The Queen Mother was talking and talking, and she actually fell asleep like this!"

Dong Ce's mind was suddenly full of black lines, he went to the kitchen to ask Liuzi to cook tea and send it to the classroom of Tianxiang Academy, and he went back to the room and took out a piece of black to cover the Queen Mother, and then went to the side door, and said to Zhang Yibo, who was waiting there: "The Queen Mother is asleep, I can't wake up for a while, if there is no big event, there is no need to disturb her, I will go and get busy first." ”

"Dong Zhangjiao is going well." After Zhang Yibo sent Dong Ce away, he came back to take a look at the courtyard and found that the Queen Mother was really asleep, and she was also depressed.

In fact, he followed the Queen Mother during this time, and he knew very well that the Queen Mother was indeed tired, on the one hand, she was preparing for the imperial examination, and on the other hand, she was the remnants of Taiping Dao.

Now in the north, the war has completely started, the tenacity of Taiping Dao is beyond the general's expectations, the original grain and grass has been insufficient, but now it is early summer, even the rice in the south, it will take two or three months to mature, and now it is extremely difficult to collect grain!

But if they don't annihilate the Taiping Dao in one fell swoop at this time, and wait for the autumn harvest, the Taiping Dao will also be more tenacious, after all, they have now mastered hundreds of counties in the twenty-nine prefectures of eight prefectures, and there is Taihang Mountain as a barrier, and if they continue to drag on, things will get worse and worse.

For these things, the Queen Mother discussed with the minister from early in the morning until the afternoon, and after that, she didn't eat, so she left the palace and came directly to the Student Temple.

In the early summer evening, there was already the sound of insects.

When Dong Ce returned to the side gate of the Xuezi Temple, he saw that Zhang Yibo was actually napping against the arch, so he couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder.

"That's how you did your job?" Dong Ce didn't have a good airway.

"Huh? Yes? Oh! No, it's okay, it's all guards, and no one can get in except yours. Zhang Yibo woke up and wiped his saliva.

"Yes." Dong Ce also knows that the Queen Mother's exit from the palace is such a big deal, although it is a micro-service, how can there be no guards around her.

"Recently, why haven't you seen Yu Shilang?" Dong Ce suddenly asked with interest.

"She, I don't know, I heard her say that she was unwell and homesick for a few days." Zhang Yibo frowned.

"I see, woman, there are a few days every month." Dong Ce nodded, leaving Zhang Yibo, who had a puzzled face, into the backyard of the Student Temple.

When she was admitted to the hospital, she saw that there was still that figure lying on the rocking chair, and Dong Ce didn't bother to call her, so she went directly into her room and began to prepare for tomorrow's class.

It's not easy to get a whole national security team, it's not a few years and it's not competent, but now there's no way, Dong Ce can only tell the concept, let them think for themselves, and then take office in a few days, and then take office, slowly accumulate experience from practice, of course, it will still be assessed in the future, from the first exam in January to the first exam in March, and slowly relax over time.

also gradually relaxed himself, and then became a shopkeeper and returned to his leisurely days.
