The government hall is not far from the Liangyi Palace, and I followed Fang Xuanling to the courtyard outside the government hall while chatting.

The purple-robed eldest grandson Wuji was already waiting there. Far away, the eldest grandson Wuji with a hooked nose said: "Boy, after eating the imperial meal, I will go to the iron-making place with the old man, the old man in the court will not break his promise to you, if you can really improve the iron-making process, the old man will ask someone to pull 10,000 guan to Xujiazhuang in Zhongnan Mountain." ”

"What did the eldest grandson say, how dare the kid ask for your money, this iron-smelting method is also a good thing for the benefit of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the country and the people, and the kid also hopes to popularize it." Xu Yang complimented.

The eldest grandson Wuji also likes Xu Yang's tone, this is like a descendant.

"It's okay, it's just 10,000 yuan, and the eldest grandson's family doesn't care about this little money." The eldest grandson Wuji touched his beard and said generously.

The three of them walked into the political hall, and many prime ministers had already finished their seats, and they only waited for a few who didn't come to have dinner.

The meal in the political hall is still so luxurious, this time Wei Zheng did not come to eat, and the supervising imperial history who came was a royal history with a long nose and small eyes, and waited for everyone to sit down, which was for the Qingyi imperial history to put a piece of Qingtian jade pendant in front of Xu Yang's case, and said: "This is a gift from Duke Wei, thank you Duke Xu for his words of warning." ”

Xu Yang was a little in a daze, the last time the political hall gave Wei Zheng a calculation, and the descendants commented that he was about to forget, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to remember it clearly, this ancient person's mind of knowing the favor is heavy, this Qingtian jade pendant is not an ordinary product at a glance, it is estimated that dozens of dollars can't be beaten, judging from Wei Zheng's salary of only forty times a month, this is indeed a big gift.

"Thank you Duke Wei for me." Xu Yang hugged his fists, and Yushi also replied with a salute and knelt aside to record the things discussed by several bigwigs.

When several bigwigs were eating, they discussed national events, what is the great drought in Shandong, how to prevent and control the locust plague, Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, compiled a "Clan Chronicle" and the "Hundred Family Names" that are now circulating in the palace have the same effect, and the country has set up ten stable Cheng dù, anyway, eating in the political hall is Tiannan Haibei, what to think of.

Xu Yang was very curious about these clueless topics, and the imperial history of Tsing Yi could still be seriously recorded.

After lunch, Xu Yang told Zhang Er that he was going to shoot away with the eldest grandson, and asked him to go home and report to the people in Zhuangzi, so as not to worry the Liu family, and he only took one Liu Qi to the carriage of the eldest grandson's family.

The eldest grandson's family is worthy of being a relative of the emperor, and the carriage is also extremely luxurious, the carriage is covered with the skins of unknown animals, embroidered with many exquisite patterns, the eldest grandson Wuji sits with his eyes closed, and Xu Yang also sits by the window and looks outside from time to time.

Coming out of Hanguang Gate, the carriage ran fast on the loess road, the eldest grandson's house was not far from the imperial city, it was in Taipingfang, far away from the gate of a deep house facing the street, there were eight guards wearing cloth armor standing at the door, there were not a few halberds painted at the door of Lao Cheng's house, the eldest grandson's house looked a little less imposing from the outside, and a little more elegant.

"The old man heard that you are about to get married?" Hurry up the eldest grandson's house, the eldest grandson Wuji opened his eyes and said towards Xu Yang.

"Well, yes, the boy's father-in-law is picking an auspicious day and plans to hold a wedding soon." Xu Yang scratched his head and said, Liu Dongliang and Old Man Liu are now arranging marriage matters in the fiefdom all day long, and now they are waiting for a certain time.

"Hmm." The eldest grandson Wuji closed his eyes again, and said lightly: "Your future old man can't see clearly, but he must be a person with great achievements. ”

"Thank you, Eldest Sun." Xu Yang was a little flattered, this is a product of the dynasty, if he can also send someone to congratulate him, it will be a face-saving thing, and he will be officially accepted by the nobles of Chang'an in the future.

When I arrived at the eldest grandson's house, I got off the carriage and followed the eldest grandson Wuji into the compound, the eldest grandson's family was much bigger than Cheng Yanjin's family, almost half of the entire Taipingfang was his house, and I saw a young man in white and a young man in green clothes dancing a sword in the courtyard, who was about the same age as Xu Yang, and looked like he was in his twenties.

Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji coming in from outside the gate, the man in green and the man in white saluted at the same time: "I've seen my uncle (father)"

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be in a good mood, raised his hand and said: "You don't have to salute, dance the sword every day, strengthen your body, it seems that you have learned a lot in Mocheng." ”

The two youths hurriedly humbled themselves.

The eldest grandson Wuji then remembered Xu Yang behind him, and said: "This is Hou Xu Yang of Chang'an County, Xu Xiaoyao." Then he pointed to Changsun Chong and Changsun Yang and said, "This is the dog son Changsun Chong, and the distant nephew Changsun Yang." ”

Before Xu Yang could salute, the young man in Tsing Yi said excitedly: "Is this Xu Yang, the descendant of the Ghost Valley?" ”

Xu Yang nodded and said, "It is indeed the descendant of the Ghost Valley. ”

The eldest grandson clapped his hands and said: "I have long heard that Brother Mo and Brother Baolin have a very good personal relationship with the strange people of Guigu, and the West Market Business Club that moved Chang'an is opened by several of your joint ventures, we came from Mocheng, and we heard about the strange things in Chang'an along the way, among which the disciples of Guigu are the most mysterious, and the people say that they are old people, and some say that they are seven-year-old children, but I didn't expect to see them today, and they are young people who are about the same age as me." ”

Xu Yang smiled and said: "I have lived overseas for a long time, and no one knows about my return to China this time, it is just a rumor, and I can't believe it." ”

Eldest Sun Chong also said: "I have heard that the disciples of the Ghost Valley are coming from the overseas immortal mountain, so there is really a spiritual grass elixir overseas?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji originally wanted to interrupt the conversation of these young people, but when he heard his son ask about the overseas immortal mountain, he stopped talking, and pricked up his ears to listen to what Xu Yang had to say.

"Haha, this is destined to disappoint Brother Chong, there are mountains overseas but not fairy mountains, there are grass but not fairy grass, it is a continent, there are many strange animals and plants, running ostriches, jumping kangaroos, bears hanging on trees, if you can visit it in your lifetime, it is also fun." Xu Yang said with a haha.

Eldest Sun Chong and Eldest Sun Yang were already attracted by the scene described by Xu Yang, and were about to continue the discussion, when they heard Eldest Sun Wuji cough, and the two of them stopped in disagreement.

"Gong Xu, come with the old man." The eldest grandson Wuji led the way, and the three of them walked behind together.

The more you go to the eldest grandson's house, the more you can feel the enormity of his family, which is like a palace, and finally arrives in front of a noisy building.

There was a constant rumbling sound from inside, as well as the sound of striking iron.

The follower, the eldest grandson Wuji, entered the house, only to find that this was a workshop with dozens of large houses connected together, many shirtless men, constantly adding firewood, and there were several things that looked like big stoves, and there were dazzling flames burning underneath.

This is the iron work department that the eldest grandson's family is responsible for, and some of the iron tools of the Ministry of Industry are also here. His Majesty was able to hand over the huge industry of iron smelting to the eldest grandson Wuji, which was enough to see the trust in the eldest grandson's family.

"The old man has been managing this iron for more than three years, and found that the toughness of this iron tool is getting worse and worse, and he is thinking about how to improve it every day, but no matter how he tempers it, he can no longer make a sharp blade, and now a small half of the horseshoes sent to the frontier are made from here, and the old man also knows that his iron tools are a little soft and wear out quickly, but I don't know how to solve it, Xu Gong can have a way?"

Xu Yang looked at these iron-smelting workers in a daze, and was speechless for a while, is it possible to burn the charcoal just to make a high temperature? The wind blowing in the blower is not heated and blows directly into the furnace, and it is strange that the iron is not soft when it is suddenly cold, and those craftsmen who strike iron, do not know that the iron and charcoal are blind and angry, and the blind cat can only create a perfect weapon with an iron-carbon ratio when it meets a dead mouse, what is this? It's a waste of labor!
