After everyone calmed down a little, Li Mao pretended to raise a glass of tea and said some innocuous gossip before gradually leading the topic to the coke refining process.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as Benfang just said, the use of charcoal is by no means so scarce as imagined, as long as it is forged through advanced techniques, it can be as long as half a month, and as short as four or five days, it can burn more ferocious coke, and if this coke is used to smelt pig iron, it will be more effective with half the effort, and I don't know how much better than the effect of charcoal!"

"His Royal Highness King Shou, you are well-informed, and when you hear it today, you really live up to your reputation! Earlier, the old man was yearning for the reading glasses invented and made by Your Royal Highness, but I didn't expect that there are so many unknown uses in this small charcoal camp today, and the old man is ashamed to crawl and roll in the coal pile all his life, and he has no eyes to know gold and jade......"

"The old man of the second clan is serious, there are still many matters that need your elders to help you in the future, we young people can only move their mouths in the end, and when it comes to doing practical things, we always owe some heat, as for the reading glasses that your elders said, this matter is not difficult, just go back and let Tiancheng bring you a few pairs from Chang'an......"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your favor, now the worries in our hearts have disappeared, and the steel mill, the coal field, and the charcoal stove will be arranged for someone to get it up one day! In addition, Luo Luo girl is young and ignorant, so she just made a bet with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness must not take it seriously! ”

"Huh...... The old man of the two clans is also bad, the innocent reputation of the girl's family, how can it be a joke, this king will do what he says, this will restore the reputation of Luo Luo's cousin, I don't know if Luo Luo's little sister has the courage to go to the streets of Taiyuan Mansion with this king! ”

After Li Mao finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Wang Siluo as if he was provocative, but Wang Siluo immediately broke free of Wang Sishen's arm as if he had been prepared for a long time, and did not say a word, and walked out of the door of the living room first.

Then like a maid who waits for Miss Wang to go out usually, she bowed her body left and right, lowered her eyebrows and kept asking, and Wang Sishen saw Li Mao and his party walk out of the door, and immediately ran to the front of several elders with a sigh and nervously discussed countermeasures with them.

"The elder of the three clans, you see how this matter is, Luo Luo's girl is too willful, why don't I go and invite the elder of the big clan back!"

"No, by all means, Luo Luo and His Royal Highness King Shou are both little dolls now, how they play by themselves, no matter how much trouble they make, maybe nothing big will happen, but if we intervene rashly, the two of them may be rebellious, and the elders of the big clan have also explained this matter before, anyway, the matter has come to this point, let them play with it! The most important thing at the moment is that you have to hurry up and talk to your uncle about the method of forging steel from coke, and see if he has any way for our Wang family to really participate in it, rather than just making money, understand? ”

"Understood, grandson is going to the Assassin's Mansion to discuss with the uncle, so do you want to talk to the queen and His Royal Highness the prince on the queen's side?"

"In this matter, I will immediately write to the elder of the big clan, he is on the way to Chang'an at this time, and everything is decided by his old man himself!"

After the Wang family was so troubled by Li Mao, although everyone had a tired look on their faces, but the big family was a big family after all, under the order of the clan elders, they were still busy in the middle of the night, the account room calculated the silver taels, the steward contacted the small clan, and some of the sons and nephews of the side branches went to the village to appease and win over the leaders and dispatch them to provide the necessary young and strong labor force to work in Taiyuan Mansion!

On the other side, after coaxing Wang Siluo into the carriage, he went all the way to the most prosperous boundary of Taiyuan Mansion, although everyone, including Xiao Tiancheng, did not know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of his little master, but he still prepared everything very carefully according to his requirements in advance.

"Li Mao, where are you going to take the slave family in the middle of the night, do you still want to elope with the slave family?"

"What? Now I'm scared, are you still the eldest lady of the Wang family, the first talented woman in Taiyuan Mansion? Do you just say these elopements, frivolous words? I don't have the posture that a talented woman should have, do you remember your ugliness when you were drunk during the day? ”

"You...... Don't say it anymore, why the slave family is so ugly, don't you know? If you hadn't lured with words first, would the slave family be so impertinent? What the hell do you want to do now? If you don't say it, the slave family will have to go back! ”

Seeing that Wang Siluo lost patience and was eager to know the truth, Li Mao didn't plan to hide it anymore, after all, if what she had to do next didn't have the help of her, the eldest lady of the Taiyuan Wang family, I am afraid it would still be difficult to form.

"Okay, the place is coming soon, and the king won't pretend to be mysterious with this stupid girl, don't you want the world to look at you Wang Siluo again? This king thinks that the way to dissipate a person's previous gossip is by no means to come forward to clarify and explain, and the old saying will only get darker and darker the more it is described, so how can we achieve the goal? It's just that the person did some great things that shocked the world, and such a small mistake as big as a sesame mung bean would be covered up by that thousand feet of light! ”

"Phew, it's better than the poetry you made, what kind of great things can a weak woman from a slave family do, is it possible to help the victims like you?"

"No, no...... This king's good deeds are the first, if the little sister is like a cat and a tiger at the moment, the natural effect is not very great, do you think about who are most of those people who chew their tongues and slander you? ”

"Except for some ignorant women and children, naturally they are those who praise Qinghe's urging family! They...... They don't just talk, they write with a pen? When I think of these slaves, I hate to kill you Li Mao with my own hands! ”

"What's the use of killing this king? Dealing with scholars naturally requires the means of readers, tonight the king has worked hard to gather thousands of poor scholars to gather in the square in front of your royal ancestral hall. ”

"Ahh You...... Why are you gathering so many readers! Do you have to bribe them to catch knives for the slaves? This is absolutely impossible, it will only add to the ......."

"Of course you won't do that, you're stupid, and this king is stupid too? But what you said about buying is also true, is it just a means of buying? It's easier to accept! This king wants you to come forward to open two schools, a women's university for women, and a men's university for the children of poor families? What do you think? ”

"Schools? I also want the slave family to come forward! Li Mao, are you crazy? Most of the scholars in the world are attached to the wealthy families, and the rest are admitted to your royal Taixue...... You actually want to run a school now, not to mention which wealthy families don't agree, even if it's a saint, I'm afraid he will not be finished with you in the future, as a prince, don't you know that private collusion with a scholar is the first taboo? ”

"Yes! So it's perfect for you, the daughter of the Wang family, to come forward and do it, so in the end, if you want to win them over, you have to win them over first! And you have just been slighted by this king, so in the eyes of the world, the suspicion that this king wants to win them over should be the smallest! ”

"Li Mao, you ...... You're really going to take 10 steps! The slave family has only really seen your personality today, this trick kills two birds with one stone, how did you come up with it, but this school in the name of the slave family is not good for your Royal Highness King Shou! What are you going to do for good? ”

After Wang Siluo asked these words, his two eyes stared at Li Mao like a lantern, Li Mao was really embarrassed to be looked at by her, so he smiled bitterly a few times and continued to speak, "What benefits can this king get, it's not that he promised you a good cousin, I have to do my best to complete it!" As long as you can be happy, the king is willing to spend more money, this matter is not very good, but it is not very harmful! The right to do good deeds as those poor students, but how to teach in the school in the future, what to teach will have to be decided by this king, do you understand? ”
