The eldest grandson Chong said that the second convener helped the craftsmen write letters, but he didn't expect to be kind and made a lot of jokes.

Four tables were brought out, and the eldest grandson Chong and a few of the gentlemen wrote letters to the craftsmen.

"Baby, mother, I earn a lot of money now, don't be wronged by yourself and the baby at home. I have to rush to work, I can't go back for the time being, everything at home will be handed over to you・・・・・・" This letter is relatively ordinary, although it is very nagging, but it does not make any jokes.

"Mother, this is my salary, half of it is kept for flowers, and the other half is used as a bride price, I am going to marry the daughter of the tailor's family, I don't want to find the fat girl of Zhao Butcher's family・・・・・・"

"・・・・・・ the people in the family eat and sleep well, the pigs in the family eat and sleep well, and the chickens and ducks in the family ・・・・・・" This brother is practicing the sentences, which is very neat.

Every time this benevolent brother said a word, the muscles on the eldest grandson's face twitched, and this book was also so bad! But for these illiterate people, family letters are like this, simple and easy to understand.

After writing the envelope in the morning, these craftsmen were very grateful to the people, and said that if they sent something in the house, they would repay them.

These letters and silver were all sent to General Duan, Duan Zhixuan was speechless, understood the whole story, and felt that this eldest grandson Chong was too good at winning people's hearts.

Fortunately, Changsun Chong is a person who understands the rules, and the envelope is not sealed, which seems to be for the convenience of inspection. Duan Zhixuan called the letter and the silver two directly to Li Er and asked him to deal with it, after all, he ordered it, and he was only allowed to enter and not to leave.

Li Er received this big letter, and took out one casually to take a look, and couldn't help but say, the people under his rule are still quite cute.

"Zhou He, let people check these letters, if there is anything that should not be said. If not, find a few literate guards and send them back, and read the letter. By the way, the silver brought back is the hard-earned money of the craftsmen, so the money that should not be taken cannot be taken. Li Er said in a deep voice, if you go to the homes of those dignitaries and nobles to run errands and get some happy money or something, Li Er will turn a blind eye, but this is all exchanged for the sweat of the craftsmen, if there is greed and does not have long eyes, and the livelihood of the family will become a problem.

Zhou He naturally understood the bends, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely arrange for the appropriate person to deliver the letter!" ”

Li Erdu was personally ** replaced, and there was no problem after inspecting the letters in Zhouhe, so he asked people to send them to the homes of the craftsmen one by one.

Of course, Li Er also read the letter written by the eldest grandson Chong to him and the eldest grandson Wuji, and said it in his heart, asking him to give rewards to the craftsmen and add officials to those craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions.

It's good to say that the reward is nothing more than gold and silver, but it's a bit difficult to add an official to a knighthood. Li Eryi didn't know if he could agree, so let's talk about it later.

Li Er directly allocated 1,000 taels as a bonus, and after Changsun Chong got it, he was going to use it as a bonus for next month.

Li Er was very curious about the steam engine that Changsun Chong said, and felt that it was necessary to take the time to see what kind of object could improve the efficiency by ten times.

When he was interested, Li Er couldn't let go, and the next day he called a few ministers and went to the Zhuangzi of the eldest grandson's house again.

The eldest grandson Wuji was very pleased, and his son honored him with a Tang knife, which was very exquisite, and earned enough face in front of a minister.

After getting Li Er's message, he asked the family to prepare some food that Changsun Chong liked to use and bring it to Zhuangzi together.

When Cheng bit Jin, Wei Chigong and others heard that their son had a Tang knife, they confiscated it directly, and in the court, they saw Li Er, the eldest grandson Wuji's Tang knife, they were greedy to death, and they scolded several times in their hearts, not filial piety, and they didn't know how to respect Lao Tzu.

Fang Xuanling was more subtle, just a strong compliment: "The knife is good, the knife is very sharp, and even the name is very good・・・・・・

As long as you are not a fool, you know that Fang Xuanling values Fang Yiai's knife, but he is thin-skinned and embarrassed to grab it.

Fang Yi's love hurt drippingly, but seeing that his father liked it, he couldn't just be unfilial, so he had to say dryly: "Dad, since you think it's good, give it to Dad!" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction, or his son's filial piety, and said, "Well, since it's your heart, I can't help but accept it!" ”

Cheng Chumo, who robbed his son Tang Dao, Wei Chigong couldn't help but scold in his heart: "I want to be a bitch and want to set up an archway, I'm talking about people like Lao Fang!" ”

Li Jing didn't speak, just looked at Li Yexu.

Li Yexu is the most flexible brain in a group of people, and he still doesn't understand it, so he hurriedly presented his Tang knife and said: "Grandpa, you used to give your grandson a sword, and this time your grandson respects you!" ”

The scene in front of you is not considered a "horizontal knife to seize love"!

Li Er and the ministers looked at Li Jing with envy, you look at other people's children, you don't need to open your mouth at all, you can serve them directly, you are filial children.

But when they saw the exquisite Tang knife hanging on the waist of the eldest grandson Wuji, they gritted their teeth with envy, this still doesn't let people live, other people's children are more filial than the other, and they really want to stuff the child back into his mother's belly and change it to a son who is the same as the eldest grandson Chong.

On the other hand, the eldest grandson Wuji is a little fluttering now, his son has the ability, and he still needs some people to set him off.

When Li Er and the ministers, looking at the proposed steam engine that was simply manufactured, it could provide powerful power, and they continued to forge the red-hot steel underneath, and took two steps back in surprise, pointed to the behemoth in front of them and said, "Who did this・・・・・・ who did this?" ”

Zhao Ergeng was taken aback, although it was a drawing provided by the eldest grandson, but the specific things were all successful in making one nail after another with the blacksmiths, one iron bench and one iron plate.

Zhao Ergeng saw that Li Er's face was wrong, and thought that it was not in accordance with the etiquette law and that he would be severely reprimanded, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is made by the grass people, and it has nothing to do with other people!" Zhao Ergeng was honestly afraid, but he knew that it was better to die one person than to die all of them; There is also the fact that if he dies, the eldest grandson will not treat his family badly, but if the eldest grandson dies, they will really have no whereabouts.

Li Ergeng looked at Zhao Ergeng with an expression of sworn death, stunned for a moment, touched his face, and said, "Hehe, I want a reward, not a punishment, but you are telling the truth." ”

When Zhao Ergeng heard this, His Majesty didn't want to punish him, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and said happily: "This is made by the grass people according to the drawings of the eldest grandson and the master little by little, and now we are still continuing to study a more superior steam engine." ”

Li Er nodded again and again and said, "You have done a good job, I will give you one hundred taels of silver, fifty taels for other masters, and twenty taels for small workers." ”

Li Er personally stepped forward to help Zhao Ergeng up, and saw that the ministers behind him were all red-eyed, except for those who were closer to him, with this treatment, the other courtiers only had the qualifications to stand on top of the court and look at each other from afar, and even more, they had never seen His Majesty in their lives.

Now His Majesty is so polite and virtuous, and he personally helped up a craftsman, which made Zhao Ergeng's heart almost jump out. Zhao Ergeng secretly decided in his heart that he must record this matter in the family tree, and he will glorify his ancestors.

"Your Majesty Xie, Your Majesty Xie, the grass people must redouble their efforts to make a better steam engine!" Zhao Ergeng knelt down again, snorting and tearing, and was so excited that he couldn't get it enough.

The craftsmen in the back, envy and jealousy, His Majesty personally helped him up, what a glorious thing it is, even if he dies immediately, it is worth it.

"Good, good! What's the difficulty now? Li Er asked, "If there is any difficulty, just say it, I will definitely solve it for you." ”

Zhao Ergeng was originally a little afraid of Li Er, but when he saw the smile on Li Er's face, he gradually grew bolder, and said: "The grass people have an idea, if it doesn't work, please don't blame Your Majesty!" ”

"As long as it's something that is beneficial to Datang, but it's just said." Li Er nodded, signaling Zhao Ergeng to know everything, everything he said, anyway, they were all his people, as long as he didn't rebel and be a criminal, he could not care. As for etiquette, it doesn't matter.

Zhao Ergeng took a deep breath and said boldly: "Before, the grass people discussed with the eldest grandson, and felt that although it was good here, if it was larger, it would use a lot of coal every day, and it would be very inconvenient to transport it back and forth, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources, so it would be better to build the workshop not far from the coal mine?" ”

With only one steam engine, ten truckloads of coal would be needed every day, and if all five steamers under production were put into use, at least fifty truckloads of coal would be needed, which would not be cost-effective.

When Li Er heard this, he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and thought of the coal mine of the eldest grandson's family.

The eldest grandson Wuji understood and said: "Neizi bought a coal mine a few years ago, and since it is of great use now, he will contribute it to the imperial court." ”

Li Er smiled, this eldest brother was just interesting, and said: "Since your family paid for it, I can't take advantage of your family, and buy it back at ten times the price." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji was not polite to Li Er, his family sacrificed such a valuable coal mine, of course, he had to get some compensation, if he didn't, it would make Li Er's heart uncomfortable.

Li Er turned and turned on the Zhuangzi, and sometimes, he snatched the file in the hands of the craftsman like crazy, and started it himself, but he did a little poorly, and scrapped an iron embryo, so he had to smile and put down the file in his hand.
