After a long time, Li Shantang finally came to his senses, but his face was still a little red, looking at Wang Xuan, he said in a dry voice: "Zaizhi, this is ...... This is too much, just a military department book, it is estimated that 500,000 is enough. ”

"Hahaha, not enough, not enough." Wang Xuan smiled and comforted Li Shantang, and the two came to the rest cabin, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Wang Xuan continued: "You are the highest position in our department in the court, but you are not just a military secretary, there are many things to do, and it is inevitable to spend money to make friends with powerful people." ”

"Besides, when you take office, firstly, it costs a lot to make friends, and secondly, adults have to maintain a clear name, and it is easy not to let people catch the handle." Wang Xuan stretched out a finger and continued: "I know, my lord is honest and honest, upright, this image must also be maintained, we can't capsize in the gutter." ”

Even if Li Shantang has been up and down in the sea for decades, he has just received no less than two million worth of finances here, and when he turns his head, he is immediately said to be honest and honest, and he still can't help but blush, this cheek is still not thick enough.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't covet such a small fortune." Li Shantang hurriedly assured that with such a large amount of wealth in his hands, he really couldn't look down on the three melons and two dates.

"I'm relieved that Lord Li said this, and in addition, there are a few things for adults to do."

"Just say it."

Wang Xuan shouted loudly, "Hongchen, come in." ”

I could only hear the 'creak' of the hatch, and a bewitching woman in an apricot yellow dress walked in, looking about nineteen years old, young and beautiful, but revealing a charm from her bones, which was not deliberate but naturally exuded.

Drunk Hongchen walked in and bowed lightly to Wang Xuan and Li Shantang, "I've seen the Lord, I've seen Lord Li." ”

In the past three years, Zui Hongchen has been making Wei Pengyun's wife and never showing up, and he is accompanying Wei Pengyun to 'play' at home every day, Wang Xuan has already instructed not to directly suck the other party dry so early, but a while ago, the military power of Fujian Jiufu was taken down, and this Wei Pengyun is really useless, and for Zui Hongchen, Wang Xuan also has a new arrangement, which is why she will do it.

After Wei Pengyun's death, Drunk Hongchen naturally faked his death and returned to Wang Xuan's side.

Li Shantang looked at Drunk Hongchen's face 'fiercely' twice, and then didn't dare to look at it anymore, after all, it was Wang Xuan who brought him, he didn't want to provoke right and wrong for himself, "Zaizhi, what is this ......?" ”

"This is Hongchen, one of my subordinates, of course, that was before, and now she is a relative of Lord Li's family, so she is called 'Li Hongchen', I hope he can marry the prince as a concubine."

"What?" Li Shantang was taken aback, he was going to send it to the prince, what was this for? Is it laid out in advance in front of the next emperor?

"I'm sure it's not a big deal." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

Li Shantang's face was solemn and pondered for a moment, and then he continued: "It's just a concubine, the problem is not big, but I also know that the prince is not favored, although after the dispute between the country and the capital three years ago, His Royal Highness the prince barely kept his position, and King Fu and Concubine Zheng retreated, but this can't change the emperor's attitude, he just doesn't like the prince, I'm afraid, things will have twists and turns." ”

Li Shantang is not wrong, indeed, the prince was accidentally conceived when Wanli and the queen of the first palace were 'playing', and he was not favored since he was a child, and the Wang family was killed by Zheng Guifei, but when he died, Wanli was unwilling to be buried thickly, and later he was forced by Ye Xianggao to reluctantly compromise and posthumously seal a concubine.

It can be said that the crown prince has no foundation in the court at all, and he is the only one who occupies the title of the eldest son, which barely keeps the position of the prince.

However, after so many years, because of Wanli and Zheng Guifei, the entire court has little respect for the prince, and many people have repeatedly troubled the prince under the instruction of Zheng Guifei, hoping that the prince will make mistakes to take his name as the prince.

What's more, the prince was also killed by someone in the palace, so to speak, in the entire palace, there are almost no people who are close to the prince, and enemies abound.

I don't know how many people don't like the prince to finally take the throne, now the Wanli Emperor is still healthy, if it is the last season, there may not be no one to take risks, after all, the prince must ascend the throne, and those who have a grudge with the prince in the palace will definitely die without a place to be buried.

As for whether the crown prince will let them go generously...... These people don't have such stupid ideas.

Not only that, Concubine Zheng is not a vegetarian, she herself has a series of people in the court, plus her status in the palace, not the queen is better than the queen, how can she be willing to watch the prince ascend the throne and then take revenge on her.

And the prince himself has no strength and power, and some are just a mere name.

This situation was somewhat dangerous, and Li Shantang had to remind Wang Xuan.

"It's okay, before the emperor dies, I will arrange some people to try to ensure the safety of the crown prince, as for after ascending the throne, look, don't worry, the emperor can live for two years."

Wang Xuan said it lightly, but Li Shantang shook when he heard it, what does it mean that the emperor can live for two years, this is too bold.

"Okay, don't worry, just put a nail in the palace." Wang Xuan's appeasement was insincere, and Li Shantang could also listen silently, "Okay, that's all there is to it, I have also equipped you with some masters, at least to ensure the safety of adults in the capital." ”

"Thank you for it, I will live up to my trust." Li Shantang stood up and clasped his fists and saluted.

"Well, take care all the way, and I'll go back."

Li Shantang kept sending Wang Xuan under the ship, and then said goodbye, and the big ship raised its sails and set sail.

When she was on the vast sea, Zui Hongchen was still thinking about the task that Wang Xuan had given her before.

"When you arrive at the prince's mansion, you first have to win the favor of the other party, and then, you have to pay attention to two people, one is 'Zhu Youxiao', the eldest son of the prince, born to the Wang family, and the other is 'Li Xuanshi', she is the most favored person at present."

"'Zhu Youxiao's biological mother's 'Wang family' was killed by Li Xuanzhi, and now, Zhu Youxiao is taken care of by Li Xuanzhi, and your task is to take care of 'Zhu Youxiao' as much as possible and have a good relationship with him."

"Of course, if you can conceive the prince's child, it will be better to say that everything will be good at that time, I will guarantee that your son will be an emperor in the future, if you are not pregnant, then you will have a good relationship with Zhu Youxiao."

This task made Zui Hongchen feel a little troubled, she hadn't thought about giving birth to anyone before, she knew her identity and status, so it didn't look like dragging down her own children, but ...... If she is a prince and can be an emperor in the future, this makes her hesitate.

……

Outside the new city, a glass factory.

After Li Shantang left, Wang Xuan became busy again, and early this morning, someone from the glass factory came to report that the production process of large pieces of glass was mature.

Glass this thing, the technology is not complicated, Wang Xuan taught it early, but the early products can only be regarded as glass, and it is not pure and transparent enough, the technology needs to be improved a little bit, purity, smoothness, large glass plate production technology, etc. must be overcome, and finally the large-scale production technology of the factory.

Glass is also a very important part of industrial products, with high profits and wide uses, Wang Xuan is still more concerned, no, he will rush to see as soon as it can be produced.

Stretched out his hand and knocked, the voice was very crisp and pleasant, Wang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I finally got it out, this thing is related to the people's livelihood of the country and is very important, the windows made of paper are really not good, go back and replace all the windows in the house first." ”

"Okay sir, I will arrange for someone to make the first batch as soon as possible and send it to the house."

Wang Xuan walked at the front of the crowd, looked left and right, and suddenly said, "By the way, has the mirror been made?" ”

"Back to the Lord, there are some finished products, which are much stronger than bronze mirrors and the like, but they are ...... The subordinates do not know if they can meet the requirements of the Lord. The glassworks manager bowed back.

"Let's go, let's see."

The group came to another plant, which was not a production workshop, but a test area, and many people were busy doing experiments with pieces of glass.

This group of people walked in and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the person in charge hurriedly said loudly: "Mr. Wuzhou is here, don't hurry up to salute." ”

Hulala A group of people hurriedly put down all kinds of tools in their hands, and all of them knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Wuzhou." ”

"Okay, get up, how many times have you said, don't bow down at every turn in the future." Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Show me how the mirror is doing." ”

A group of craftsmen got up one after another, and a few of them hurriedly took a few test items and came over to show Wang Xuan.

Sure enough, I don't know how much better than the copper mirror, but the clarity and smoothness are not up to standard, and the uneven thickness makes people look slightly deformed.

"If the silver-plated process behind this glass can't reach that high for a while, the plating over there is a little thicker, although there is a bit of a waste of silver, but at least it can ensure the fineness of the mirror, as for the more exquisite process slowly studied, but after this silver-plating, don't forget to brush a thick layer of paint to prevent the silver from being worn."

Although a little thicker coating will double the cost, this kind of silver mirror is not sold to ordinary people in the first place, no matter how it is sold, it is more than twenty times the price, Wang Xuan naturally does not care much.

Putting down the mirror in his hand, Wang Xuan looked at these researchers and continued: "You researchers, are all pillars of the country, all treasures, I said before, as long as this glass and silver mirror research out of the mature industrial manufacturing method, I will reward you heavily, now, it is time to fulfill the promise, the two hosts, each of the thousand coins, the rest according to the size of the contribution, respectively, three hundred to one hundred. ”

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, he immediately trembled with excitement, and several people who were more emotional couldn't help crying.
