Xu Pu laughed: "Your Highness, go on, are you still holding back the treasure?" ”

Hua Houwei also smiled, his routine was recognized, and he will change it in the future! "Grandpa Xu really understands me! Glass doesn't do much more than that. We have been smelting iron in the Han Dynasty, and the straight knife of the Tang Dynasty is unique in the world. Oh, and the Mo knife. But why are these good things lost when they reach the war? ”

Xu Pu replied hesitantly: "The craftsmen who mastered the technology are all dead, so they haven't passed it on?" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Xu, you're right. After all, the book didn't work! Why are the books of poetry and etiquette passed on? Because there are literate people, it is passed on! The craftsmen are illiterate and don't have the most crucial things, so the good things are lost! ”

"Is it the glass that matters? Why is that? Hongzhi couldn't understand Hua Houwei's logic, and frowned and asked.

Hua Houwei shook his head: "It's not glass, it's a standard!" ”

Xie Qian suddenly said: "Your Highness, the car is the same track, the book is the same!" ”

"The second master is really powerful, that's what the standard means! Why is glass important? Just because it helps us to do standards! For example, if you make a thermometer out of glass and boil water for 100 degrees, isn't that the standard? Doctors all over the world hold the same thermometer, isn't the patient's body temperature accurate? By extension, there can be a standard for ironmaking, construction, rice bowls, etc. ”

Liu Jian smiled: "Your Highness, is the standard so heavy?" ”

"Alas, the most hateful thing in the grain merchant is to make a fuss about measuring tools! The big bucket goes in and the small bucket goes out, and every mile and outside is full of black money! Our tax officials in the Ming Dynasty will also do this, and the annual loss of the imperial court will be at least thirty percent! The standard is not heavy either? ”

Hongji's face turned pale, and he slapped the table hatefully: "These shameless people! Wei'er, you don't need to say it, standards are very important, and they are fatal! Elders, you can discuss it, make a break, and come up with a safe way! ”

"Do the Holy Commandment!" Xu Pu also realized the importance of standards and bowed to promise.

Hongzhi's face looked better, and then asked Hua Houwei: "Wei'er, glass is so important, is it not possible to join forces?" ”

Hua Houwei shook his head: "You don't need too much glass, the workshop is completely isolated from the world." This East Factory and Jinyiwei are good at it, so I won't participate. The company must be opened, and the State Treasury, the Royal, and I divide the shares equally, and the remaining one-tenth of the shares go to the Mineral Survey Bureau. ”

Xu Pu shook his head: "Your Highness, you are too good at doing this business." Oh, the old man wants to ask His Highness, what do you want so much money for? ”

Hua Houwei grinned: "First, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, and they don't panic when they have food at home." Second, money is more useful in my hands than in other people's hands! Third, hehe, I have to save some money for the bride price of my daughter-in-law! ”

Xu Pu couldn't help but laugh. Li Dongyang pointed at Hua Houwei and coughed incessantly. Liu Jian's eyes widened, staring at Hua Houwei's indescribable place in disbelief. Xie Qian covered his face and didn't want to speak. Hongji's face darkened and scolded, "Bastard thing! How old do you want to be a woman? Can't your father pay you the bride price? ”

Hua Houwei straightened his chest: "Men sweat their own sweat, eat their own food, marry their favorite wives, and lay their own eggs!" That's what a man is! ”

Xu Pu couldn't hold it anymore and laughed wildly on the table. Li Dongyang chewed Hua Houwei's words carefully: "Men sweat their own sweat, eat their own food, marry their favorite wives, and lay their own eggs? Reasonable! Your Majesty, don't be angry, although the words are vulgar, they are profound! If my son said this, and he didn't have to sweat himself, I would be satisfied! Tsk, man? Man! ”

I am afraid to interpret everything, and there is a person like Li Dongyang who has learned to be rich and five cars to explain, if this vulgar scumbag is dropped, there will be an extra gold border in an instant! Xie Qian also chimed in: "Your Majesty, what do the people think? Wife and children hot kang head, isn't it just to eat their own food and lay their own eggs? Your Highness, where did you learn it? ”

Hongji's black line disappeared, and he turned his anger into joy: "Well, you're right." Little man, why do you have to leave a hundred percent for the Mineral Survey Bureau? ”

"The task is too heavy, the danger is too high. There are brave men under great reward, and I cannot let them shed both blood and tears. Dad, to determine the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, we not only have to face the flood beasts, but also face the sinister hearts of people. If you don't have money, who would dare to do it? Who wants to do it? ”

Liu Jian agreed: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is right. No matter how powerful Wang Zhi is, he is also a clever woman without money, and it is difficult for him to cook without rice. Your Highness is very worried! Ministers agree! ”

Liu Jian was resolute, and everyone wanted to sell him some face, and they all agreed. Hongji smiled: "Okay, count you through." Wei'er, I will allocate you some manpower, the materials will be transferred from the War Bureau, and the treasury will allocate 3,000 taels of silver, you see, is it enough? ”

Hua Houwei counted his fingers for a long time, and nodded: "It's roughly enough." Not enough to add more! The main reason is that the furnace and fuel consumption are large, and the number of tests is large. Well, telescopes? ”

Hongzhi changed color: "Don't think about it, the weapon of the country, individual businessmen are not allowed to participate!" Looking at Hua Houwei's pitiful appearance, his tone softened: "Well, your personal reward is three thousand taels of silver." ”

Hua Houwei patted his ass indignantly: "Okay, okay, it's better than nothing!" I'm leaving, and when the manpower and materials are in place, I'll start. ”

Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Go, you are allowed to visit your senior brother tomorrow, and by the way, you will go out with the prince." Remember, micro-service! Bring enough people! ”

Hua Houwei was really happy now, and he collapsed three feet high: "Dad, you are the best!" ”

Looking at the little back that jumped away, Xu Pu sighed: "If you have a son like His Royal Highness Houwei, what more can you ask for!" ”

Everyone felt something, looked at the binoculars on the table, and nodded in unison!

At sunset, the lights are on. Hua Houwei pulled Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, and excitedly walked towards Cining Palace. Hongzhi was followed by four equally excited pavilion elders, and Hongzhi promised the pavilion elders to enjoy the moon tonight and trace Chang'e!

Empress Dowager Zhou got the news early and was also excited. This is the desert age of science, and the legend of Guanghan Palace has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Especially the prevalence of "Journey to the West" in the previous paragraph, which added a touch of mystery to the moon. On the way, Zhu Houzhao grabbed Hua Houwei and muttered: "Brother, don't you tell me such a good thing first?" Too not enough bro. ”

"Brother, let's go green tomorrow, and let you have enough fun then!"

Empress Dowager Zhou did not stay in the main hall, and there were a lot of tables and chairs on the square outside the main hall. Seasonal melons and fruits are sent over 800 miles in an expedited manner, and the Ming Dynasty has its own postal system, not a concubine in the Tang Xuanzong era.

Hongji led his wife and children to sit in the second place, and several elders also sat down in turn. Empress Dowager Zhou beckoned: "Wei'er, come here!" Let's take a look at the ancestors first, okay? ”

Hua Houwei walked to the edge of the tripod he had debugged by himself, took out the binoculars from the leather box and fixed them, and smiled back: "Ancestor, enjoy the moon!" ”
