And how important Yanyun County is, how awesome I am, you Li Shi should also know it, right?

As long as you let me rely on it, let me rely on it, then maybe I can pay you back in the future...... Let you be beautiful.

As the so-called mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and there are dragons and spirits, I will be in the abyss after Xiao Chen, and I will cultivate immortals in your mountain.

Of course, there is a premise here, that is, I have to live......

Just now, Lord Wang, I have already learned from others, so it's useless, if you want to collect my lord's loyalty, you have to come to some real.

"I can't help you with food and grass, but I can lend you a little silver, which I personally lent you...... Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I'm going to charge interest! It's okay if you die, but as long as you don't die, you have to pay me back! "Li Shi started venture capital.

"That's a must!" Xiao Chen was full of promises.

"You go back and look for Ma Wuming, he has a factory outside Fengyang City, there are many skilled craftsmen who have just been recruited from all over the world, and all kinds of wood and iron materials are quite complete, you go over and take a look, if you need it, it will only work." Li Shi's investment is more than silver.

"Oh, Lord Wang, your reward is really too heavy, I ...... slave" Xiao Chen was overjoyed, and he was about to kneel down to thank him.

"You kid don't come with me! Also, Xiao Chen, you are a handsome man, but you are not a minion, and this king has never treated you as a minion. Li Shi snorted first, and then his expression was solemn, and his words became serious.

"Minister, thank you." Xiao Chen said that he was very moved, he was happy at this moment, otherwise it would be better to squeeze out two tears.

"Xiao Chen, I want to ask you a word." Li Shi's voice was almost inaudible.

"Lord Wang, please speak." Xiao Chen knew what he wanted to ask.

"The assassination ...... the crown prince" I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Shi's voice sounded a little trembling.

"The assassination of the crown prince is providential." Xiao Chen hesitated for a long time before he whispered this sentence, and the amount of information was quite large.

"Oh...... It's providence. Li Shi let out a long breath.

Although Xiao Chen didn't say it explicitly, who else could there be besides Li Wanjiang in the heavens of heaven's will?

Li Shi was very generous, and directly gave Xiao Chen a silver ticket of 500,000 taels, claiming that this was all his property, whether you Xiao Chen believed it or not.

So you'd better be careful with me, boy! It doesn't matter if you die, I can't waste 500,000 silver!

I'm still waiting to collect interest.

Bidding farewell to Li Shi, Xiao Chen rushed to the Ministry of Industry non-stop, and then met Li Hong, a big fat man who had just gotten off the sedan chair, as soon as Li Hong saw him, it was like seeing a ghost, he turned around and ran, but he was fat, and he was out of breath after only two steps, and was caught up by Xiao Chen and caught.

"Oh, Brother Xiao, isn't this it? I don't have a good look in my eyes, so I didn't see it, what, I'm still busy going to talk to Ma Shangshu, so I won't accompany ......you first" Li Hong's eyes wandered, and he looked at him left and right.

"Li Shilang, it's not interesting enough! Why do you usually call your brother so affectionate, but now that my brother and I are in trouble, it's a passerby? Xiao Chen said angrily.

"What is in trouble? You are the general of the expedition to the north personally appointed by the emperor, and you have the royal flag, the marshal's seal, and the sword of Shangfang...... That's a great development, brother, I can't climb high from now on, it's because I see you that I retreat. Li Hong didn't blush at all when he said this.

"It's really warm and cold, and the world is cold!" Xiao Chen complained.

People came and went from the entrance of the engineering department, and when they saw Lord Xiao and Lord Zuo Shilang openly arguing, they all looked at each other in surprise.

"It just so happens that I'm going to see Ma Shangshu, let's go in together." Xiao Chen pulled him and rushed in, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"What the hell are you doing? I don't know who Lao Tzu is! "Xiao Chen has a big temper now, and he is as humble and polite as before, just like two people.

"Lord Xiao, can our brothers not recognize your old man? But this Ma Shangshu has an order...... Ah no, Ma Shangshu has something, he is not here. An officer hurriedly stepped forward and smiled.

"Fart, his Ministry of Industry is not in the Ministry of Industry, can he still be in the Ministry of Households? Lao Tzu, I am also a flat trip in the household department, why is the threshold of your industrial department higher than that of the household department? Xiao Chen didn't listen at all, held his head high, strode in, the guards still wanted to stop him, but he was pushed away by a few Xichang brothers who followed him, the factory was doing business, who dared to stop it?

No one really dared.

went all the way into the back hall, and when there was no one in front of him, Li Hong wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and complained, "What are you doing with me in front of so many people?" Can't you pretend you didn't see it? ”

"Your brother has such a majestic body, it's hard to see it, besides, who doesn't know that our brothers are good, pretend not to know each other, isn't that trying to cover up? It's better to have a fight and show them. Xiao Chen said with a smile.

The two of them have always had a good relationship in private, and as soon as Xiao Chen was sent to Northern Xinjiang, Li Hong quietly went to find him and advised him to run away quickly......

This person is definitely acceptable.

The quarrel at the door just now was actually a cover-up.

Ma Wuming ordered the concierge not to allow Xiao Chen to come in, in fact, it was also to hide people's eyes, and when he heard that Xiao Chen was coming, he immediately put down what he was doing and waited for him at the door of the study.

I knew that he dared to break in.

invited Xiao Chen into the study and asked Li Hong to wait outside, because what the two of them wanted to talk about should not be known to outsiders, and neither could Li Hong.

The two talked for a whole hour, and they didn't know what they were talking about?

But according to what Li Hong said later, the two have been quarreling all the time, and the noise is so loud that it almost overturned the entire Ministry of Industry!

Because of what? There are a lot of reasons, it seems that Ma Shangshu owes money to the household, Xiao Shangshu asked for it in order to raise military funds, Ma Shangshu didn't give it, Xiao Daren was very angry, so he mentioned the heating processing plant again, so the quarrel was even worse......

Oh, I see, but it makes sense.

Because of the Ministry of Industry's forcible annexation of the heating processing plant of Lord Xiao, no one in the civil and military affairs knows about it......

It's really too much of a deception.

After coming out of the Ministry of Industry, he went straight to the outside of the city and found the wood processing factory that Ma Wuming had not yet completed.

It is said to be a lumber processing plant, but in fact, everything can be processed...... Including the military industry.

All kinds of the latest instruments and tools in the world today, refined steel ingots and iron blocks, rolls of lead skin, piles of copper and aluminum, treated bamboo and wood boards, as well as paint, gunpowder, cotton thread and other materials are piled up in the whole ten large warehouses.

And all of them are brand new, Xiao Chen walked around for a while, and he walked happily and unsteadily.

What a Jiangdong king, it's really interesting enough!

What made Xiao Chen the most happy was not only these materials, but the hundreds of skilled craftsmen who had been summoned from all over the world!

There were carpenters, there were blacksmiths, there were silversmiths, there were bricklayers, there were shipbuilders...... And what kind of lacquer maker Xiao Chen hasn't heard of?

This is really a treasure!

Because talent is the most important in any dynasty.
