Li Jingxuan left, Li Zhi put some refreshments prepared by the queen for him, one by one into the giant bear's mouth, and when the last piece of jujube cake was swallowed by the giant bear, Li Zhi wiped the giant bear's mouth with a handkerchief, and checked it, and saw that there was no dim sum residue on the giant bear's mouth and stomach, so he said to Ruichun: "Isn't there any big discovery of that piece of wood in Chang'an?" ”

Ruichun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I found a lot, but there is really no big one." ”

Li Zhi said: "Yun Chu, gentle, will Di Renjie and the three of them still joke about me behind their backs?" ”

Ruichun said: "According to the report of the wood, the last time Yun Chu talked about His Majesty, he was talking about the question of who is on and who is on the throne when His Majesty has sex with the queen. ”

Li Zhi clicked his mouth and said: "I'm down there, I don't say anything, and it's effortless." ”

Ruichun continued: "Gentleness said the same thing, only Di Renjie didn't seem to be interested in this topic. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "It's okay, it's just three gutless rats, they only dare to chew their tongues behind their backs, and they don't have the courage to say it in front of me."

Ask the wood, where did Yun Chu get the six thousand catties of gunpowder, why he didn't play. ”

Ruichun smiled bitterly and said: "The six thousand catties of gunpowder came from the Baiqi Division, and there was supervision throughout the whole process from receiving to transportation to use, ensuring that all the six thousand catties of gunpowder were used to open the mountain and split the stones." ”

Li Zhi sneered and said, "How much benefit did Zuo Chun take?" ”

Ruichun said: "The first and second cotton mills in Chang'an, to which the Baiqi Division belongs, have a serious backlog of goods, which not only cannot effectively subsidize the Baiqi Division, but also needs the reverse subsidy of the Baiqi Division.

Especially three years ago, the Ministry of War said that the first and second cotton mills produced all kinds of military quality are inferior and high, and the armies of all walks of life complained after receiving military products, although they did not dare to completely cut off the receipt, but cut off a large number of orders, and instead purchased from the people, which made the first and second cotton mills from the chickens that laid golden eggs, completely became the burden of the hundred cavalry division, resulting in the Chang'an hundred cavalry division to make ends meet, and even affected the development, training, and arrangement of secret spies.

At that time, the cotton spinning factory belonging to Wannian County invented a new cloth, and added a certain amount of mulberry silk and fine jute to the warp and weft when weaving...... So, so ......"

Li Zhi saw Ruichun talking hesitantly, so he sighed and said, "So, Zuo Chun paid 6,000 catties of gunpowder for this secret recipe?"

Or did he come to the door himself and ask for the two hundred and five? ”

Ruichun bowed his head and said nothing.

Li Zhi raised his head and thought about Yun Chu's disgusting appearance in the face of Zuo Chunqiu's door, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Ask for me, is it even more difficult for him to accept than asking for Yun Chu?" ”

Ruichun whispered: "Within five years, this new type of cloth can only be produced by the first and second cotton mills......"

Li Zhi thought for a moment and then said to Ruichun: "Didn't you think about why Yun Chu would pay such a big price for a county order who had a little friendship with him?" ”

Ruichun knelt on the ground with a puff, pestled his head on the ground and replied: "I learned afterwards that although this kind of cloth has many benefits, it is expensive, because it is cotton cloth, the nobles disdain to use it, and the poor people can't afford to use it, so there is no way to make money, and it is a money-losing goods for them."

Liu Jiang, the county commander of Jinji County, begged Yun Chu to help him apply to the imperial court for a batch of gunpowder because he wanted to dig a canal, but the use of fifty catties of gunpowder by the people needed to be reported to the Ministry of Industry for approval, and it also needed to be reported to the Baiqi Division, which was collected from the gunpowder workshop by the Baiqi Division, and finally supervised the use, and received as much as was used to ensure that the gunpowder would not flow into private hands......

Even if Yun Chu wants to get 6,000 catties of gunpowder, he needs to send a special letter to Zhongshu Province, and finally approved by His Majesty, but Jinji County is not under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, and it is impossible for Zhongshu Province to pass such a document, let alone send the document to His Majesty's table......

Weichen heard from Mu that Yunchu had clearly rejected Liu Jiang, the county magistrate of Jinji County, and as a result, at this time, Zuo Chun, the governor of the capital, boarded Yunchu's door to discuss how to save the first and second cotton mills...... So that there is room for things that have no way out......"

Li Zhi pinched the ears of the giant bear and muttered to himself: "The new cotton cloth is sold among the people, no one buys it, and it is just right to sell it to the army, anyway, the army only needs good things, regardless of the price."

First, second, cotton mills can also take advantage of the improvement in the quality of cotton cloth to raise the price of military products, and they can suddenly come back to life...... The Gunpowder Division was already under the supervision of the Hundred Cavalry Division...... As long as they are ordered to make an extra 6,000 catties of gunpowder, and then supervise the county order to use all the gunpowder on the construction site...... As a result, the accounts of the Gunpowder Division were flat, and the extra gunpowder was completely used...... The two cotton mills were saved, the Baiqisi was rich again, and the canal that the county ordered was blown up...... God doesn't know the ghosts, and he doesn't say it, and he can kill many birds with one stone.

Only I am the only one who really became a big injustice that Yun Chu often said, right? ”

Ruichun kowtowed like pounding garlic, when he did this back then, Zuo Chun did not hide it from them, it was the unanimous opinion of the upper echelons of their Baiqi Division, because, the whole thing is just like what the emperor said, there is a perfect closed loop, how can it be considered appropriate to exchange six thousand catties of worthless gunpowder for two chickens that lay golden eggs......

Li Zhi got up, raised his leg and kicked Ruichun's head and said, "Don't allow it next time." ”

Ruichun got up gratefully, grinning his teeth, and the pain in his waist was unstoppable, not because of how heavy Li Zhi's kick was, but because the giant bear who followed Li Zhi also took the opportunity to slap him on the back.

When Wu Mei came over, she found that Li Zhi and Ruichun were laughing, although Li Zhi was the only one who was happy, and Ruichun's legs were still shaking when she was standing, but in Wu Mei's opinion, as long as the emperor was happy, it meant that the two were talking and laughing.

Wu Mei first glanced at the empty snack plate on the table, and then said with resentment: "Why did you feed the bear and spoil the good intentions of the concubine." ”

Li Zhi smiled: "It's not bad, I ate half of it, and the bear ate half of it, don't believe it, you ask Ruichun." ”

Ruichun retreated behind the curtain with a blank face, not ready to answer such a question that might kill him.

Wu Mei was noncommittal to Li Zhi's words, came to the table and glanced at the booklet on the top and asked, "What's wrong with Yun Chu?" ”

Li Zhi said: "He didn't want to go to Yanshi County to quell the rebellion, thinking that he used a knife to kill chickens, but Li Jingxuan rushed to go, and I was approved." ”

Wu Mei frowned and said: "Why are you still picky, and if you continue like this, you will carefully raise an arrogant and domineering one." ”

Li Zhi laughed and said: "Seeing that he still has the ability to be arrogant and domineering, I will endure it for the time being."

However, Queen, Yun Chu, Gentle, Di Renjie and the three of them are extremely interested in the sexual affairs of you and me, listening to Mu Tou reply, they are speculating about you or me, what do you think? ”

It was difficult for Wu Mei to be shy about this kind of thing, so she casually said 'shameless', and said to Li Zhi: "Your daughter has started to stake the land." ”

Li Zhi's face did not change: "What is she going to do?" ”

Wu Mei looked at Li Jingxuan's secret recital, and said casually: "A princess who is greedy for money taught by Yu Xiurong, she is ready to lend money to the farmers in Yanshi County, with a very low profit, or even a loss. ”

Li Zhidao: "Knock on the bone and suck the marrow?" ”

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "Yu Xiurong can't teach a money-greedy princess who sucks the blood of the people, she just wants to lend the money to the people, and then let the people use the money to buy seeds, piglets, chicks, and ducklings from her, and prepare for spring ploughing next year, and then pay her back when the chickens and ducks grow up after the autumn harvest."

It's quite conscientious to say. ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I never believe in the conscience of the businessman, and I don't believe a word. ”

Wu Mei picked up the pen and wrote some words in a patch of paper, and then connected them with line segments, and showed them to Li Zhi when they were connected.

After reading the connection between these words, Li Zhi said: "Stability, this is to place a heavy bet?" ”

Wu Mei sighed and said: "If this is planned by An Ding, the concubine body will praise a clever sentence, if this is planned by Yun Chu, the concubine body has to be described with four words." ”

"Ruichun—" Li Zhi called out loudly.

Ruichun, who was hiding behind the curtain and rubbing his waist, immediately appeared in front of Li Zhi, and Li Zhi picked up the piece of paper written by the queen for Ruichun to see.

Ruichun said unhurriedly: "Give the slave a pillar of incense." ”

With that, he hurried out, and with Ruichun's departure, a stout armorer rumbled into the main hall.

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be Yun Chu's handiwork, spending a lot of money to get a small profit, it's not like what Yun Chu is willing to do."

What did Yun Chu say at the beginning - oh, heavy assets, yes, these are those three words, he is smart enough, and there are enough fools in this world, I don't think he will use this stupid method to make money. ”

Wu Mei said: "The township has been governed by the squire and clan since ancient times, and Li Si is now involved in it, what does she want to do?"

As for a small amount of money, it's not a big deal. ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "There are no squires in Yanshi County now, and the clan has almost been destroyed. ”

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, is this unwilling to think too badly about Yun Chu?" ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "If he is really treacherous, I will be heartbroken." ”

Wu Mei sneered and said: "People, always changeable, this time is also the norm of life, ten years ago Yun Chu don't say that His Majesty likes it, the concubine also feels that seeing him is like seeing the sun, however, after more than ten years, it is impossible to be sunny every day, there are always clouds covering the sun."

If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you will know by looking at Ruichun's investigation. ”
