"For the heavens? Hum! How can I, Tang Wenyuan, be virtuous? I don't have that ability! Xiulin, for the sake of you and I who have known each other for many years, can you give me an explanation? ”

Looking at Tang Wenyuan, who looked terrified, Xie Xiulin laughed and patted Tang Wenyuan's shoulder: "Old Tang, what are you afraid of?" What about King Wu? Let me tell you, once this matter is known to the whole world, Shilin will be in an uproar, and they will definitely attack it in groups. When the time comes, King Wu himself will not be able to protect himself, where will he have time to find trouble with you? ”

Tang Wenyuan shook his head: "Xiulin, which stage character am I?" I'm different from you, you have a mentor, a colleague, what do I have? It's just the identity of the person. I can't afford to take part in the fight between you! ”

Xie Xiulin suddenly took matters seriously and restrained his smile: "Old Tang, you still have to participate in this matter!" You listen to me tell you, you don't think deeply. Once the industry takes root in Jiangnan, all the long-term workers of your family go to work in the workshop, who will plant your family's land? You can't go into battle with all the old and young women and children, right? Do you think I'm only thinking about my career? Wrong, Old Tang, His Royal Highness King Wu is digging our roots! ”

"Wouldn't it? How can there be so many workshops? Besides, how much money can the workshop give? ”

"Hehe, you! I don't hear anything outside the window, and I only read the books of the sages! The cement factory in Nanjing has already begun civil works, and the Ministry of Industry has spread the word, and in the future, the monthly salary of a worker may reach one or two silver! Don't you be afraid? ”

Tang Wenyuan was so shocked that the cold hairs on his back stood on end, and blurted out: "Why aren't you afraid?" Let's cultivate and study the family, how can there be scholars without farming? No way! Isn't this a disaster for the country and the people? Good! I'll follow this matter to the end! Hmph, King Wu? Not even Your Majesty! ”

"Yes, so this matter, you have to rely on King Wu! Let me tell you, if the industry is not eliminated for a day, we cultivators will not be at ease for a day. What do you say? "Xie Xiulin is a good temptation, so he almost said that he was going to be framed!

Tang Wenyuan nodded grimly: "Yes!" Xiulin, do you think this is good? My niece is quite a bit of a woman, and she is headed by all evils and fornications, if she ······"

"Old Tang, I haven't heard anything, but you have a lot of experience in reading history over the years, and your ability to use the past for the present is good!"

Tang Wenyuan walked out of the Ministry of Rites, the sun in the sky made him shiver, and there were gods on his head, but the terrible consequences of industrial development made Tang Wenyuan's heart tremble. He turned his head suddenly, turned sharply, and walked resolutely to the carriage.

Hua Houwei no longer pays attention to the boiler explosion, he has bigger things to invest in. At present, the situation is good, and the steam spinning machine has blossomed everywhere in the coastal provinces. But the endless accidents make people really scratch their heads. These silk merchants still don't pay attention to safe production, well, they have to raise the price of textile machinery, as well as the price of maintenance, I don't believe you don't feel sorry for money! Well, the cement plant has been civilized, and a road from Nanjing to the canal will be built first, so that people can see the real benefits!

When Hua Houwei was studying the industrial layout, Wang Zhi pushed the door in: "Your Highness, this matter is not appropriate!" ”

Hua Houwei raised his head blankly: "What's the matter?" Didn't you go to Ma'anshan? What do you think? There's a lot of minerals there, right? ”

"Your Highness, you didn't handle the matter of killing people in the steam spinning machine explosion!" Wang Zhi said solemnly.

"Ah, I've already taken care of that, what's the problem?"

"Alas! Your Highness, you are not good at such underworld things. Let me ask you, once the other party makes a ruthless move, kills the family of the deceased, and frames it in the palace of King Wu, what should you do? ”

Depend on! Hua Hou Wei woke up like a nightmare, and was in a cold sweat in an instant! Once what Wang Zhi said came true, those civilian officials would definitely attack him. And his own people really showed up in the deceased's house, and the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, not but also! What will Daddy do? I am afraid that I will only compromise with the civil officials, and I will live in seclusion again, and my industrial development will be ruined!

Wang Zhi's face softened, and he shook his head slightly: "Your Highness, Lao Wang will do this." Hum! These villains, who claim to be gentlemen all day long, do things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, and they have to frame them for others. Lao Tzu doesn't look down on these beasts! ”

Hua Houwei stood up and gently hugged Wang Zhi: "Master, thank you!" Without you, I'm being cheated by them again! ”

"Alas, Your Highness, following you all these years, I have seen clearly, there is one in the entire Ming Dynasty, and no one is really for the good of the Ming Dynasty! All have selfish intentions, have their own little abacus, only you are wholeheartedly working hard for Daming! Lao Wang is a crippled person, but he also has the courage to be loyal! You don't have to worry about it, I'll handle this matter, and make sure they steal the chickens and rice! ”

Hua Houwei let go of Wang Zhi and walked back and forth on the ground. Suddenly stopped, and sighed: "I was going to have my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" In that case, don't blame me! Lao Wang, divide half of your inspection team. What to see? You're not the Governor of Xichang? Let's get back to our old business! Come, here's a book I made up blindly, not necessarily practical, you look at the deletion yourself, get the West Factory up again, oh, don't call it the West Factory, just call it the Mineral Survey and Statistics Division! ”

Wang Zhi was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he could return to his old business again, and immediately patted his chest: "Okay!" Your Highness can rest assured that within one month, the Department of Mineral Survey and Statistics will satisfy Your Highness! ”

"Well, I don't have to worry about you doing things, Lao Wang, there are a lot of new weapons in this booklet, you give them to my senior brother and let him arrange for someone to create them. Don't underestimate these things, they are still useful when it matters! ”

Xie Xiulin and his ilk didn't expect that in order to bring down the industry, they would release a long-sleeping Netherworld Monster! From this day on, Hua Houwei no longer adheres to the righteous and bright style of acting, and all kinds of cruel and vicious methods will soon fall on the heads of these shameless civil officials!

It was late at night, and the small courtyard of the Ma Tang clan was pitch black, except for the occasional insect chirp coming from far away. A black shadow appeared in front of the thatched house of the Ma Tang family, and a bull-eared knife shimmered in the moonlight.

Before the dark shadow could pry open the door, suddenly the entire small courtyard was brightly lit! Yang Tinghe's entourage shouted: "Take it!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Wang Zhi appeared outside the small courtyard with a few inspectors!

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the village, and Tang Wenyuan led a group of people, carrying hoes and shovels, to surround Yang Tinghe's men and Wang Zhi.

Tang Wenyuan shouted: "Who are you?" How dare you go wild in King Xie Village? Old and young men surround them! Four dogs! Hurry up and report to the official! ”

Wang Zhi laughed and pointed at Tang Wenyuan: "Old dog!" You're coming too fast, aren't you? How do you know that something is going to happen to the Ma Tang family tonight? Could it be that you have the ability to be a prophet of the unknown? ”

"Don't talk about me yet, tell me who you are!"
