"The concubine understands, tomorrow the concubine will send someone to report, and the day after tomorrow she will let her father enter the palace." Zhang Yan nodded.

"Anyway, your home is not far away, so I allow you to go home for a while, or you can stay at home for one night." Zhu Youxiao suggested.

Although according to the general practice, they are not allowed to return to their parents' homes after entering the palace, but if the emperor gives special permission, the concubines can go out of the palace to save their relatives. But Zhu Youxiao doesn't have so many rules here, not to mention that it is really against humanity not to allow concubines to visit relatives.

"Thank you for your grace, the concubine hasn't seen her brother and sister for a long time, and after the concubine goes home tomorrow, she will enter the palace with her father the day after tomorrow." Zhang Yan said happily.

"Yes, but you must tell the old man that I don't have the money, I can only provide the method of making cement, and the old man will pay to build a workshop, which will cost about 100,000 taels of silver, and I will account for half of the workshop. If the elder is unwilling to do this, you don't want to force it, and I won't force it. Orb, got it? Zhu Youxiao emphasized.

"The concubine understands that the concubine will definitely convince her father." Zhang Yan said.

……

Zhu Youxiao allowed her to go home to visit relatives, which really made her excited all night. Early the next morning, Zhang Yan drove out of the palace to visit relatives. Although there are many rules for the queen to go out of the palace and save her relatives, with the help of Zhu Youxiao, everything is simple.

Hearing that the queen was going home to save her relatives, Zhang Guoji and his son and daughter have been preparing since last night.

"Empress, why is it so hurried to go home this time?" Zhang Guoji asked suspiciously.

"I went home this time to visit my father, as well as my brother and sister; The second is that the emperor has a very important thing that you need to do, father. Zhang Yan said.

"I don't know what?" Zhang Guoji immediately asked. The queen personally went out of the palace to talk about this matter, which shows that this matter should be very important.

"The emperor from the dream of the gods to teach, occasionally get a strange thing to make the method, this thing is called cement, this thing can be used to build roads, build cities, build houses, etc., the emperor hopes to cooperate with my Zhang family to build a workshop to produce this thing." Zhang Yan said frankly.

"It is rumored that the emperor is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven and knows the past and the present, is there really such a thing?" Zhang Guoji asked curiously.

"Of course it's true." Zhang Yan replied without hesitation, "The emperor is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven, guarded by a god, and the punctuation marks taught to the emperor by the gods in a dream, the Chinese pinyin is not true, but the emperor does not like to be famous, so he pretends to pass on my name to the world." The cement that my daughter told you was also taught to the emperor by the gods in their dreams. ”

Zhang Yan and the people in the palace are the most convinced of the rumor that Zhu Youxiao is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven, they have witnessed too many miracles of Zhu Youxiao, especially Zhang Yan is definitely Zhu Youxiao's first fan, an absolute pure fan.

"It turns out that all the rumors are true, it seems that I am expected to be prosperous in the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Guoji said with a sigh.

"The emperor is the lord of the world, the reincarnation of the emperor of heaven, how can he allow others to doubt it?" Zhang Yan said dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, it's stupid for my father, but how does the emperor want to cooperate this time?" Zhang Guoji then turned the topic to the right path.

Now that the treasury is empty, and Nenu has no extra silver, the emperor has decided that he will provide the method of making cement, and your father will pay for it, and both sides will share half of the workshop profits. Also, you must resign from the post of Tongzhi of the Governor of the Chinese Army. Zhang Yan said.

"Ahh Zhang Guoji really felt very embarrassed by this ...... condition, not only to pay but also to resign, which seemed too cost-effective.

"Father, what is there to say directly?" Zhang Yan knew Zhang Guoji's thoughts when she saw Zhang Guoji's face.

"How much silver is this?" Zhang Guoji asked.

"The emperor said that it will take about 100,000 taels." Zhang Yan replied truthfully.

"One hundred thousand taels? I can't even take out a thousand taels. Zhang Guoji said loudly.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Father, have you forgotten that the emperor is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor?" He said you can come up with a hundred thousand taels. Although Zhang Yan hasn't been home for a long time, she probably knows the Zhang family's background.

"Okay, all the belongings of my Zhang family are only 100,000 taels, if they are all taken out, I will resign again, what will your brothers and sisters eat in the future, will they eat cement?" Zhang Guoji said depressedly.

"First of all, you don't have to resign from Tai Kangbo's position, Tai Kangbo's money is enough for his younger brothers and sisters to live, not to mention that I don't have a daughter? I can also give you all my money for your living expenses. Zhang Yan persuaded him.

"You make me think again." Zhang Guoji said.

"Father, when Wei Wei and the Hakka family were in power, they wanted to attack their father several times, if it wasn't for the emperor's timely punishment of Wei Wei and the Hakka family, my father would have been dismissed from office and his money would have been gone. Now the emperor has a lot of grace to his daughter, although I am still the queen, but it is difficult to guarantee that I will not lose all my grace one day, in case my daughter loses the position of queen, the Zhang family will definitely be difficult to get rid of. Zhang Yan persuaded him.

"Daughter, don't say it so scary." Zhang Guoji was said by Zhang Yan, and even his title was changed unconsciously.

"Father, do you know that there are countless pairs of eyes in the palace that are staring at the position of the queen of your daughter? The daughter trembles every day, walking on thin ice, for fear of losing the emperor's favor, in the palace, once out of favor, the other concubines can still live, but only the queen is the most difficult to live, from ancient times to the present, the queen who fell out of favor and was deposed is the worst. Wei Wei and the Hakka clan have tried to harm me several times, do you know? Zhang Yan said sadly.

"Daughter, as long as you give birth to a prince, the queen's position will definitely be unbreakable." Zhang Guoji comforted.

"Whether or not to give birth to the prince is all providence, the daughter only hopes that her father can help the emperor solve more problems, even if his daughter falls out of favor in the future, the emperor will naturally take into account the father's loyalty, and let our Zhang family go." Zhang Yan said.

"Help, you must help, I will do what you say." Zhang Guoji hurriedly said.

"That's good, the father will enter the palace with his daughter tomorrow and agree to the emperor's request." Zhang Yan said happily.

"Tomorrow, my father will take Zhang Yan into the palace together." Zhang Guoji was told by Zhang Yan that he had a very sense of crisis in his heart. He thought that his youngest daughter Zhang Yan was also sixteen years old (imaginary age), and she was at the age of getting married, and her appearance was not inferior to Zhang Yan, but she had never been married, and brought her into the palace.

"Why did you take Zhang Yan into the palace with you?" Zhang Yan asked suspiciously.

"Zhang Yan has always wanted to go into the palace to have a look, and she took this opportunity to take her to a long time for her father." Zhang Guoji did not tell Zhang Yan what he thought in his heart. He knows Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan's personality is stern and straightforward, if she knew his purpose, Zhang Yan would definitely oppose it.
