As soon as someone entered the room, Li Dayong stood up first and said very respectfully: "Dayong has seen Mr. Kong." ”

Han Tong also showed a little jealousy on his face, stood up and arched his hand.

The person who came was Kong Minxing, the staff of Datong Governor Wenqiu.

Lingqiu and other six counties, as well as Shuozhou, Yingzhou and other three states, as well as Datong Mansion, along the border of the fort and the jurisdiction of the city of Ma are all under the jurisdiction of the governor of Datong, administratively, Lingqiu and other places belong to the management of the Shanxi political envoy, in the political envoy is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Datong, this is also to enrich the power and territory of the governor of Datong town and the jurisdiction of Datong town and do a special setting, Han Tong's back and Taiwan is the left government, administratively is the highest in Shanxi, but now the Kong Minxing who comes in represents the governor of Datong, in the local political map of Daming, The governor is the prince who lives and kills the princes who take Weifu for their own use, and the three divisions of the political envoy and the envoy Gadu Division have become the subordinates of the governor.

Zhu Qingyu can ignore the Shanxi General Army, let alone the Datong General Army, but he does not have the courage to ignore the Datong Governor, the status between the two is like a cloud, the governor in the early years of the Dynasty is only a temporary assignment, used to unify local powers, not to make the three divisions of the skin, the temporary measure of prevarication, but also the central government to strengthen the centralization, weaken the local centrifugal force of the inevitable move, the famous scholar Meng Sen in later generations has a lot of discussions on China's central and local centralization, the Ming Dynasty's governor and patrol according to the establishment, It can be said that it is a helpless move in the game between the central and local governments.

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the governor's authority has become increasingly heavy, how dare Zhu Qingyu snub a governor like Kong Minxing.

"You may be seated." Kong Minxing looked like a beautiful son, and after inviting everyone to sit down, he looked at it, and said to Zhang Han with a smile: "This must be Zhang Shao's proprietor, this way, but after listening to Brother Zunlu's words praising Wen Lan, I don't want to meet, I still feel that Brother Zunlu is too conservative, Wen Lan's bearing and expression, it is really not comparable to ordinary proprietors." ”

Zhang Han stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhi has won the prize." ”

Zhang Han and Li Shenming are already brothers who change posts, Li Shenming and Kong Minxing also have a deep friendship, Zhang Han will not fake Qinggao and Kong Minxing to distance themselves, after this "Brother Zhi", everyone present can measure the taste here.

"In addition, I also heard that Wen Lan had some misunderstandings with the Han Dongzhu here, so I rushed over." Kong Minxing looked at Zhu Qingyu and said, "The matter is settled, right?" ”

Zhu Qingyu was a little embarrassed and looked at Han Tong.

Han Tong's qi volume was very narrow, and he still didn't want to stop it, so he arched his hand and said: "Mr. Kong doesn't know anything, and the people below are turbulent, and I'm afraid that the bullet won't ......be able to suppress it."

"What are you talking about?" Kong Minxing was stunned and said, "Are there no soldiers?" ”

He turned to Zhu Qingyu and said: "I will write a note, son, to the garrison, and ask him to transfer 200 soldiers over, if it is not enough, you can find Lai Tongxin, the general of the East Road, to transfer a few hundred more cavalry, I will report this matter to the military gate again, but Brother Jiu, the matter involves official business, I think we should not delay." ”

Kong Minxing really sat down as he spoke, and asked someone to hand over paper and pen and ink, this time Zhu Qingyu was very embarrassed, and his eyes were quite unkind when he looked at Han Tong.

Han Tong was extremely angry in his heart, and he had already thought about telling this matter to Han Qi, the political envoy of his clan brother in Taiyuan, but he had to say coldly at the moment: "Even if you transfer troops, you don't have to say this to scare people...... After going back next time, he will suppress the person who is heading, and this time, proprietor Zhang will take a thousand silver out to make a soup and medicine. ”

Zhang Han looked at Han Tong, knowing that this was a bastard thing in front of him, and he didn't know what the truth was at all, no wonder the Han family was a disgusting existence in Lingqiu, with a person in charge like Han Tong, and with his back, scenery and strength, he didn't know how arrogant and domineering he was, and he didn't know how many people he had offended.

"A thousand taels?" Kong Minxing frowned when he listened, this silver should be asking for a sky-high price, and it is too much.

Zhang Han smiled and said: "A thousand is a thousand, my furnace room can double the daily output, a little silver tael, I really don't care about it." ”

Li Dayong and others were shocked when they heard this, Hantong is also a sign, there has always been a certain amount of output in iron smelting, 2,000 small furnaces, 4,000 large furnaces, and the furnaces can be opened for less than 200 days at most every year, this is an inevitable thing, there are few exceptions, doubling the production, isn't it doubling the profit?

Based on Li Da's furnace, it is equivalent to an annual profit of up to 10,000 taels, of course, a few thousand taels have to be divided, but the amount that falls into the pocket has increased greatly.

Of course, everyone will not ask, how to operate the iron furnace is their own business, involving technical secrets, no matter how it is inappropriate.

Sun Anle remembered that Zhang Han allowed Sun Jingting to go to the mountain, and his heart became hot for a while.

"So be it, farewell."

Han Tong was suspicious in his heart, if Zhang Han's furnace output was really so high, the blow to the Han family would also be fatal, at least Zhang Han could use the method of dumping at low prices to grab the market share of the Han family, no matter how horizontal the Han family was, there was no way for people to only buy their own iron, and his family's power was not so big.

After Han Tong left, Zhang Han and Li Shenming, Kong Minxing and others also said goodbye, Zhu Qingyu had the intention to leave Kong Minxing, the red man in front of the governor, to stay, but looking at Zhang Han and others, it was obvious that they were going out to party by themselves, with him as an outsider, it was inconvenient for people to speak, and he secretly regretted it in his heart at the moment, he should not have hindered the power of the Han family at the beginning, and did not express kindness to Zhang Han, even if he rushed over now, it was impossible for people to accept it.

Li Shenming and Zhang Han gossiped all the way, and also introduced Kong Minxing's back and scenery clearly, Zhang Han is also a well-known businessman in Datong, Kong Minxing has long known him, the last time Zhang Quanchang was transferred to Shanxi Town, when the operation of Datong Governor Wenqiu also helped, Zhang Han also sent two hundred taels of silver to the governor, and there was some contact between them, but if you really want to get acquainted, it is still today.

Entering Zhang Han's house in Lingqiu, as soon as he walked to the corridor, the light rain began to fall again, Kong Minxing's tone was a little distressed, and said: "Seeing that I am going to plant wheat, the rain does not stop, and when I want it to rain in the spring, there is not a drop of rain...... This thief, my God! ”

Kong Minxing has the identity of a person, and he is also quite famous in his hometown of Qingzhou, engraved with several poetry collections that circulate in the city, and is considered a small celebrity, otherwise, Wenqiu will not recruit him to his shogunate. But at this time, the scolding with his head and stomping his feet was quite bold.

Li Shenming said with a smile: "Sit down and cook tea, it's useless to scold." ”

Zhang Han also just smiled, the time was not smooth, at this time no one pushed the time of the day to Wanli immorality, Wanli hid in the harem and did not come out, nor did he choose beautiful women, the mine envoy tax envoy also sent less, and he never wanted to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to build a leopard house, the scholar doctor was only dissatisfied with Wanli in private, but did not push the matter to the induction of heaven and man, a few years later, when the apocalypse reused Wei Zhongxian, it was called lively, the time was not good, it was all the emperor who appointed traitorous eunuchs, and the scholars scolded it was called sour, but it was still like that after Wei Zhongxian went to the throne, it was still not good when the people were in the dynastyand then they didn't squeak again.

Zhang Han was reluctant to mix these things, let alone say much, but asked someone to send a set of tea sets over, he used a small stove to boil water, and after the water boiled, he added tea leaves, listened to the sound of tea, and then cleaned the tea set with boiling water, and finally brought the fragrant tea to Kong Minxing and Li Shenming.

Zhang Xuezeng's heart hurt just now, and he had already gone to bed rest, and he never came to talk and drink tea.

"Good tea, fragrant, really fragrant."

Kong Minxing shook his head, savored it carefully, and waited until the fragrance of tea came out of his nose very transparently, then he reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Han and said, "Where did this tea come from?" ”

"It's just ordinary Ji'an white tea." Zhang Han smiled: "It may be that Brother Zhi is thirsty." ”

Li Shenming said: "It's just that Wenlan's tea cooking methods are exquisite, and there is no other reason." ”

Zhang Han smiled: "I don't have any other preferences, and I don't study, I'm just afraid that the smell of copper on my body is too strong, so I can only drink a few more cups of tea, and tea is also a gentleman." ”

The three of them laughed for a while, Kong Minxing and Zhang Han chatted for a while, but they were really surprised by Zhang Han's bearing and knowledge, many things, people who don't travel thousands of miles don't know, let alone read thousands of books, of course he doesn't know, although Zhang Han's knowledge structure and reserves are only junior high school graduates in later generations, but in the era of the information explosion plus the later evil supplements, Zhang Han's knowledge is of course not comparable to an ordinary talent in terms of eight strands of specialization, but in terms of erudition, I am afraid that what Jinshi Hanlin is not comparable.

"Wenlan, I really can't help it." Kong Minxing said with a smile: "What Shicai said about increasing the production of iron ore, I'm afraid there is a mystery in it, right?" ”

"Of course, there are some set-ups here, too." Zhang Han smiled: "But the things that increase production and save energy are true. ”

"It's a pity I still have something to do." Kong Minxing said regretfully: "Otherwise, I would have to see it here with my own eyes." ”

"It's just a side road, it's nothing."

Zhang Han intends to use the method that Song Yingxing used in Tiangong Kaiwu thirty years later, simple and effective, Zhang Han has seen a lot of miscellaneous studies in the Ming and Qing dynasties, including various notes and professional books, at that time I just thought it was interesting, read it at will, and now I know that reading books is not in vain, and sure enough, he can see a lot of interesting things.

"The side door is also useful," Kong Minxing said with a smile: "People say that miscellaneous learning is useless, but I deeply disagree. ”

Li Shenming introduced at this time: "The brother of the end is Tianjin Weiren, and the township house tester is Xuanhu Gong. ”

Zhang Han said in awe: "But Xu Shaozhan and Lord Xu? ”

"It's the family teacher."

Kong Minxing's face was full of pride, and he was obviously very satisfied with Zhang Han's attitude.

Li Shenming smiled and took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued: "Xuanhu Gong water conservancy, astronomy, astrology, agriculture, geometry, and even Fanwen, it is really omniscient and omniscient, this is a genius of Tianzhong." Someone attacked Xuanhu Gong for immersing himself in miscellaneous studies, and asked me to say that it would not be too late to say this when the person who talked nonsense had half the level of scripture and learning of Xuanhu Gong. ”

"It's a pleasure." Kong Minxing took a sip of tea, his face was quite angry, but he was quickly covered up again.
