Chapter 898: Find something to do for Wang Qiao
Jiang Yifan glanced at Jinrong with disgust, and did not answer his words, but urged: "The drought situation in various places has begun to emerge, and the household department has been very busy these days, and Shangguan has also assigned me an errand, Your Highness has something to say quickly." After you have finished your order, let's leave quickly, and I have to go back to work as an errand officer. ”
He didn't take leave from the official this time, it was Jinrong who dragged him here. He didn't want to look at Shangguan's face for no reason, so he had to go back quickly.
Jinrong probably also thought of the situation in the imperial court, so he turned his gaze to Ye Xinyan who was on Jiang Yifan's side: "Yezi, when will our business open?" The sooner you open, the sooner you make money. ”
The emperor has been asking him about the specific benefits of Yuwangfu in the past few days. Seeing that he was about to use a knife to kill the rich and help the poor, he needed to earn some money to comfort his wounded heart.
Ye Xinyan was also planning for the opening, and was trying to find a way for Jinrong, so he came to the door by himself.
"Well, don't we want to make more money and make this garden the most high-end and elaborate garden?"
Jin Rong nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, now Xixiuyuan is already very particular." Didn't you hear the hot discussion in the capital? During this time, the most talked about in Beijing was our garden. That word-of-mouth is simply rave reviews and full of praise. Yezi, taking advantage of this freshness, we have to hurry up and open. "Nowadays, making money is a top priority, and it can't be ignored.
Ye Xinyan paused and said tentatively: "Your Highness, can we invite the emperor to take a walk around the garden." Xixiuyuan is stained with dragon energy, or the garden can get a few words of praise from His Majesty, our business, even if you can't think about it, you can raise the price by another level. ”
Jin Rong stared at Ye Xinyan blankly, and then turned to Jiang Yifan and Qi Younian. Fortunately, the two of them were also stunned, indicating that not everyone would be as dizzy as Ye Xinyan.
"I said Grandma Jiang, do you really dare to think about it? You are doing this small business in a small garden, and you still want to calculate Your Majesty. Didn't Yuanfan tell you that now that there is a great drought in many places, and the situation in the imperial court has been very tense recently? You have such a big list, and you want to make trouble in this tight place. He had to admire Dead Ye Xinyan's audacity.
Ye Xinyan also knew about this, but ......
"The emperor and his old man work hard every day on state affairs and worry about the lives of the people in the world, which is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the country. That's why Your Majesty should take care of the dragon's body, isn't it? Coming to our garden for a walk and evacuating the muscles and bones is very good for His Majesty's body, right? ”
Jiang Yifan bowed his head and was silent, his shoulders twitching.
Jinrong was also stunned, it made so sense, but why did he sound so weird?
"No way!" Jinrong instantly came back to her senses, "I don't have that guts." It's up to you to think of something so difficult. ”
Ye Xinyan frowned: "It's not difficult to say this, what do you princes and princes do?" ”
Jinrong was immediately dissatisfied. What happened to the prince and the prince? Is that a high-risk business that carries your head in the air? I'm already holding my head, and I'm still hitting the knife edge, doing this kind of thing......
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Qi Younian saw that Jinrong's face was not good, so he hurriedly coughed lightly twice and said, "This is not busy, not busy." Own business, easy to discuss. ”
Ye Xinyan was stunned, thinking about it. The emperor's emotions can't be taken lightly, the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and blood flows thousands of miles. If you really annoy the emperor Lao'er at this juncture, it is possible to dismantle Xixiuyuan.
"I originally thought that if the emperor could go to Xixiu Garden, and even give a word or something, then our garden would be famous, and it should be the first in the capital, and the business would naturally be easy to do. Since there are difficulties, forget it. ”
"That's it, then, when are we going to open to make money?" Regarding Ye Xinyan's attitude that he can change his mistakes, Jinrong is very pleased.
But when he asked this, not only did Ye Xinyan sneer at him, but even Jiang Yifan covered his face. Only Qi Younian is still considered to give face, and he should support his nod in approval.
Ye Xinyan looked at Jinrong speechlessly, Your Highness, how poor are you? Actually take the two rent silver earned from this small garden so seriously?
Jinrong was annoyed by the attitude of the two of them, and said unhappily: "Hey, I said, what do you two mean by that?" I think I am the king of Yu, in order to earn a few silver, it took a lot of effort. But His Majesty has already asked me twice about the belongings and income of Yuwangfu. I'm about to be robbed by His Majesty, can I not be in a hurry to make money? ”
Ye Xinyan immediately agreed, "Since the emperor must not come, then I will prepare to open, and when the news is released and people know the news, we will open." ”
Then, she changed the subject: "Your Highness, there is another matter. The Ministry of Industry's iron-smelting workshop, can you let us go in and have a look? If it works, I'll go over with Wang Qiao and have a look. ”
Jiang Yifan originally planned to talk about the opening of Dingxi Xiuyuan, so he pulled Jinrong back to the yamen to do things. However, when he heard Ye Xinyan talk about this, he sat down steadily.
Jinrong really doesn't understand this time? He asked: "Iron ore smelting has always been a matter controlled by the imperial court, what are you asking for?" There is also Wang Qiao, hasn't it been arranged for Wang Qiao to return to the Qinghe Village Machinery Workshop first? ”
Ye Xinyan briefly talked to Jiang Yifan about this idea, but Jiang Yifan was busy with official business these days, so she only said a rough idea. Therefore, Jiang Yifan sat next to Ye Xinyan, looked at her very seriously, and listened to continue to speak.
Qi Younian didn't understand what the situation was, why did his family go to the iron-smelting workshop with Wang Qiao? They are engaged in construction and tools, and they have little to do with ironmaking, right?
Ye Xinyan paused and said, "I thought, Wang Qiao is a thoughtful craftsman, I can't let him spend time in Qinghe Village in vain, I have to find something difficult for him to do." If he can really make some achievements in smelting iron ore, His Royal Highness will use Wang Qiao in the future to let him be promoted to the Ministry of Industry as an official, and he will also have some capital. ”
Jinrong became interested, although he was very optimistic about Wang Qiao, but he was more willing to believe in Ye Xinyan's ability. Iron smelting is a big deal, and if it can greatly improve the efficiency of iron smelting, many things in the imperial court will be much easier. In terms of defending against foreign enemies alone, it can occupy a great advantage.
He sat up straight, leaned on the handle of the chair with both hands, and asked solemnly, "What does Ye Zi think?" ”
"Not yet, I just heard that the imperial court has accumulated a large amount of iron ore, but it can't be smelted in time, and I wonder if I can think of a way. Wang Qiao and I went to see the iron-making furnace and the iron-making process, so that we could figure out where to start. Wang Qiao had entered the iron-smelting workshop before, but he had not looked at it carefully. ”
Jinrong frowned slightly, thinking about how to arrange this.
The Ministry of Industry has always been under the control of King Fu, especially now, when the imperial court is conducting a thorough inspection of iron ore and iron materials, and the mining area and smelting workshops are under strict surveillance.
He had an idea and asked, "You want to improve the efficiency of iron smelting, right?" How much is it certain? ”
