In the city of Nanjing, in the courtyard of a deep house, there is a person, about thirty years old, who is losing his temper: "What's the matter, why is there such a big difference in the amount of accounts for half a month?" Half less? ”

"Young Master, this is not to blame the little one!" The brocade-clothed man kneeling there explained with a sad face, "It's all caused by that Liujia Village, not only are there a lot fewer orders, but there are also those who are already queuing, and they would rather not deposit a deposit and break the contract!" ”

"What do you mean?" When this person heard this, he immediately frowned, and immediately asked, "What Liujia Village is not from Liujia Village?" Who would dare to rob my Li family of the deal of this quarry? How many people do they have to use? ”

This person is none other than Li You, the eldest son of Li Cunyi, the Taifu Temple, who married Hu Weiyong's niece.

He is the son of the Li family, so he is in charge of the Li family's family property. He also watched the family's business closely, and checked it every half a month, but he didn't expect that this time he found out that there was a problem with the operation of a quarry.

To run a quarry, one is that the quarry must be good, and the other is that there must be enough quarrymen, which is equivalent to buying and selling without capital for powerful people, which is similar to mining and selling.

In particular, the business of this quarry is getting better and better every year, not only is the price rising, but it is not necessarily possible to buy it, it depends on the relationship, and you have to pay a deposit and so on.

Unexpectedly, it was only half a month, and there was a backlog of slate in the quarry, and the situation reversed so quickly that Li You was a little dumbfounded.

At this time, the steward of the quarry under him hurriedly explained: "That Liujia Village made something called cement, which is a bit similar to Sanhe soil. The pavement made of this cement is very smooth and not afraid of rain. Now the price has not come out, but it is estimated that it is about half cheaper than the price of our slate, so those people are waiting for the cement to be sold! ”

When Li You heard this, he was very surprised and said: "Cement similar to Sanhe soil, cheap and easy to use?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing him say the key point, the quarry steward hurriedly nodded and replied, "The houses and roads in Liujia Village are all built with this kind of cement, and the small ones have also been seen, which is really good." Say ...... To put it mildly, with that kind of cement stuff, I'm afraid the quarry will be less and less bold! ”

"Such a good thing?" When Li You heard this, he immediately thought for a moment, "A rural village can make such a useful thing?" ”

"Young Master, it is said that this cement was conceived by a person named Zhang Yifan in that village, and it is said that this person became smart as soon as he had an epiphany, and he also had a relationship with the big families in the city!"

When Li You heard this, he immediately ordered: "In this way, you go to him and ask him to offer this cement, and I will ensure that he is an official, this is something that others can't ask for, and it can be regarded as cheap for him!" ”

The Li family was a towering tree in the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how many officials put their minds to it, they might not be able to climb this high branch. That is, to see that the money (cement) is enough, give him a chance.

As soon as he heard this, the quarry steward immediately smiled and said, "The eldest young master is really merciful, he actually gave him such a good opportunity." Since he wants to have a relationship with the big families in the city, the little one takes the initiative to come to the door, and he will definitely offer the cement with both hands! ”

In his opinion, who can compare to the Li family in the big families in Nanjing?

Founding feats? The Li family is the first meritorious service of the founding of the country!

Official? The eldest young master's in-laws are the first civil official!

In this regard, Li You thought that there was no problem, and a smile appeared on his face again: "You have done a good job, and now you have one more entry, if you can earn more, I recommend you to become a county official!" ”

The Ming Dynasty is now an official under the recommendation system, and as long as the Li family has a word, there is nothing that cannot be done.

When the quarry manager heard this, he was very excited. Joining the Li family as a slave and doing things with all your heart and soul is not just to have this day of getting ahead!

So, he immediately walked away.

As for Li You, he also put this matter behind him, after all, he had more important things to do. For example, go to your uncle's house to find out if your cousin's marriage is what you guessed.

………………

On the side of the crown princess, after returning to the East Palace, she immediately summoned the craftsman who was sent by her to Liujia Village, and re-verified the situation in Liujia Village from the craftsman to ensure that the information was comprehensive.

In this process, although Zhu Jingjing was a little anxious, she also knew that this sister-in-law had her own rules for doing things. At the same time, she was also confident, so she had to wait patiently for the princess to verify it.

But who knows, this verification will be dark, and the crown prince Zhu Biao will come back after a busy day, so it will be inconvenient for the crown princess to sum up her affairs.

However, the crown princess knew what Zhu Jingjing's mood was, so she said to her with a smile: "You girl, don't be in a hurry, after all, you have to face your father, it's better to be more prepared, right?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Jingjing nodded after thinking about it, she comforted again: "Tomorrow, I will send all those stable women, and then verify the situation, there should be a result." And then, how about we talk about it? ”

What else can Zhu Jingjing say, if she wants to face her father, she is actually a little afraid, it is safe first, and it should be, so she can only go back to the palace like this.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she returned to the palace, she heard that the queen mother had looked for her early in the morning, but she had already run out of the palace.

I don't know why, when Zhu Jingjing heard the news, she subconsciously felt a little bad. However, when the queen mother summoned her, she couldn't help but respond, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet.

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Jingjing passing by, she didn't think much about it, thinking that she really had to play in the East Palace for a day. For this situation, the brother and sister are harmonious, and she is also happy to see it.

After all, she and Zhu Yuanzhang are both from the bottom of the people, and they are not bound by the rules of that kind of wealthy family, maybe their children and grandchildren will have many rules in the future, but for the two of them, subconsciously, they still recognize the family relationship of ordinary people.

So, Queen Ma also took this opportunity to ask about the situation in the East Palace, of course, it was not the political affairs related to the East Palace, but family trivialities, such as how happened to Zhu Biao's son and daughter, and how the princess and the side concubines were?

After waiting for this warm-up, Queen Ma changed her words and said to Zhu Jingjing, who was already slim: "Now, you are not too young, you should have a home." Look, how about asking your father to find you a good son-in-law? ”

When Zhu Jingjing heard this, she suddenly felt a sigh in her heart, and she would come to whatever she was worried about!
