Chen's face turned red when her daughter said this, she lived here for two days, and she also saw that the mental outlook of the people here was different from other places, and even her daughter had become different.

"If your mother doesn't learn, don't you feel ashamed?"

Zhang Lianzi was stunned, her son didn't think her mother was ugly, but she couldn't say that, otherwise her mother wouldn't want to make progress, so she nodded loudly, "Mother, everyone here knows how to read, but you can't, it's really embarrassing." ”

"Okay, then mother." Chan made up his mind to authenticity.

Chang Xi didn't listen to it anymore when she heard this, and her mother, who was willing to make progress for her daughter, was at least saved, but her own learning was not as strong as that of a group of people, so she said to Zhang Lianzi in private, "Take your mother to the workshop every day to listen to the class, which is good for her to broaden her mind." ”

Zhang Lianzi's eyes lit up, "Can my mother also go to class?" ”

"Of course." Chang Xi smiled, "Let your mother go to class first, let her grow her knowledge, and I'll see if there is a suitable job for her in the future, and then make arrangements." ”

Zhang Lianzi nodded busily, and really pulled her mother to go to the workshop almost every day to listen to classes.

The class time of the workshop is fixed, but the workers only come to the class when they are off work, and everyone has a class schedule, on which they have enough class hours for each day to be considered successful.

At first, Chen was embarrassed, but when she saw that people older than her also came to the class to read and write, she gradually let go of her hands and feet, and could talk to the people around her.

Zhang Lianzi saw her mother's progress a little bit, not to mention how happy she was, how good it would be if the eldest brother Zhang Yingda also came back, and the life of the family of three would definitely be more promising than before.

She didn't dare to ask Chang Xi often, so she had to ask Sister Dongli every few days.

Dong Li had a good impression of this little girl, and said, "Don't worry, Chang Niangzi is paying attention to this matter, and your brother will definitely be able to come back." ”

That being said, it's still quite tricky.

With Zhang Lianzi on her back, she reported to Chang Xi like this, "That Mama Tao intervened sideways, and now because Chang Kui killed Zhou Afa, whether it was a manslaughter or an intentional homicide, there is a debate about this matter, so Lord Zhou has not judged the case for a long time, and the case has dragged on......"

"Mama Tao's pressure?" Chang Xi frowned slightly, would a famous post from the Mighty Marquis Mansion be so useful? Why was she so unbelieving?

"I'm not sure at the moment, it's just that Chang Dadou and the Li family asked the master to help Chang Kui fight this lawsuit, and that master is so powerful that a black mouth can be said to be white." ”

Chang Xi smiled when he heard this, what do Chang Dadou and Li know about petitioning teachers? There is another person behind these two to give support, and this person is still targeting Mama Tao, with Mama Tao's temperament, she must hope to close the case as soon as possible, and she doesn't want it to drag on.

And she also vaguely guessed who this person who troubled the waters, if it was because of her that the case was complicated, then there would be no need.

Lord Lang Dong of the Ministry of Works and Lord Sun of the Ministry of Household who came from the capital, because they were not accustomed to the water and soil, were very sick for several days, until their health was slightly better, and they did not dare to delay any longer, so they quickly contacted Chang Xi to come to the courtyard to see the steam exhauster.

Chang Xi went to greet him in person.

From the city to this courtyard, along the way, the biggest feeling of the two adults from the capital is that this suburb is particularly prosperous and lively, even the road has widened a lot, and they are not so bumpy in the carriage.

Lord Lang Dong of the Ministry of Works felt the deepest, he looked at the road outside, "This is newly built?" ”

Master Zhou, who was riding a horse beside the carriage, said busily, "Yes, because there are two major workshops here, so Chang Niangzi proposed to repair this road, which is also the money from the workshop to repair the road." "It's not the local treasury that pays for it.

Lord Dong immediately looked at Lord Sun on the side, it seems that he can do things without your household department.

Lord Sun turned his face to the side, talking about no money, one life, in a word, the household has no money.

Lord Dong happily asked questions while looking at the customs, and Lord Zhou accompanied him almost carefully.

Chang Xi, who also chose to ride a horse, did not come to the two adults, but walked side by side with Yuan Hao, and she had to say something.

"Lord Yuan, my two unadulterated parents should have bothered you a lot recently, I am deeply sorry, it is really the case of my brother who should be punished according to the law of the country, I don't want to violate the law of the country, so please don't meddle in this case again......"

Yuan Hao was slightly stunned, but he was not surprised that Chang Xi would guess that he was interfering, the reason why he did this was to put pressure on Mama Tao, and the ultimate goal was for Chang Xi.

"No, Chang Niangzi, I did this for a purpose, you listen to me carefully."

Chang Xi frowned slightly, "Lord Yuan, I don't want to pursue the past, I just hope that this case can be closed as soon as possible, so that innocent people can be exonerated from the crime." ”

"Chang Niangzi, you can't say that, this is a very important matter, please forgive me for not holding it accountable, because it is also about my interests." The original Hao is colored.

Chang Xi understood now that Yuan Hao didn't want to marry Han Yongzhu, so he was so concerned about this matter.

Since he has such a demand, then it is not her turn to put her beak, "Lord Yuan, forgive me, I am sorry to disturb you." She simply rode ahead of him, and no longer walked with him.

Yuan Hao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, he was nosy when he came here today, because this errand had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to see her more, so he was cheeky and followed.

Now it seemed that his actions had made her unhappy, so he stopped going to the courtyard with interest, and asked someone to say to Lord Zhou, and he turned his horse's head and returned to the city.

Chang Xi naturally saw Yuan Hao leave suddenly, knowing that her action just now hurt his heart, but the long pain is better than the short pain, she hopes that Yuan Hao is still the same Yuan Hao as before, instead of falling into the private affairs of her children and not being able to pull it out, so she will fall into the inferior.

Lord Zhou didn't care much about Yuan Hao's departure, and just nodded at his entourage to indicate that he understood.

Lord Lang Dong of the Ministry of Work and Lord Sun of the Ministry of Household did not pay attention to Yuan Hao's departure at all, but watched with interest the workers who got off work go back in twos and threes.

Lord Zhou was busy telling what he knew, and the two adults sitting in the carriage couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and there was still this? It was actually mandatory for people to read and write, but the effect was good, and it could be seen that these villagers were well educated.

They weren't used to riding horses along the way, but it was undeniable that this woman was really courageous.

When she arrived at the other courtyard, Chang Xi hurriedly got off the horse and went to greet the two adults, these two adults looked at her with more appreciation, not as cold and hard as at the beginning, this is a good start.

Si Gonggong and Chang Xi are old acquaintances, and they have long known the strange requirements of her management workshop to rigidly stipulate learning, so it is not strange to see it.

Although it is called an annex, it has been renovated, and it is no longer the appearance of another courtyard, but the individual researchers occupy their own territory, and it is not as elegant as before.

"Chang, what else do you study in this institute?" To-sama asked curiously.

Chang Xi stepped forward and said, "Yes, our research covers many aspects...... and she gave one or two easy-to-understand examples to illustrate.

Dongda was amazed to hear it, which was much more conscious than the Ministry of Industry.

Old lady Lin also came to the institute today, and when he saw Chang Xi accompanying those adults, he was also busy going to bow down.

Seeing the old man, and it looked like a retired old man, Lord Dong and Lord Sun didn't dare to take Qiao, but were a little humble, but Gonggong Si still held his head high.

The next step was to see the process of the steam exhaust machine extremely smooth, and as an expert, Todai was surprised when he saw the ingenious working principle.

"Who came up with this? Such a genius. ”

Lin Yuqi was pushed to the front of the stage at this time, and Chang Xi gave him all the flowers and applause that should be given to him, which he deserved, but everyone saw that Lin Yuqi was not good at socializing, so he just encouraged him a few words, and did not pull people to let go.

Old lady Lin felt that the most beautiful thing in his life was that now, his grandson had a future, and he was happier than he was an official before.

Lord Sun is more concerned about the cost, and the treasury has no money, so the price must be kept to the minimum.

On this issue, Chang Xi argued with reason and did not give in easily.

Of course, the remuneration paid does not have to be money, it can be something else.

"Pay with iron ore?" Master Sun said in surprise, "Is this okay?" ”

"As long as the court can take it, it will naturally work." Chang Xi said, "I also give an explanation to Lord Sun, because this machine can only be made of iron, wood is not good, so this has to use a lot of iron ore, and this thing is controlled by the imperial court, and there is a quota for private use, our production is very constrained by this, if Lord Sun has the ability to use this to pay a certain amount of remuneration, we are also very welcome." ”

Lord Sun's inherent thinking has been affected a lot, Chang Xi's proposal is quite tempting, if iron ore can be used to replace a part of the silver, it will be a good thing for the treasury, but whether this mouth can be opened or not, it has to be decided by the imperial court, he does not have such a big authority.

Si Gonggong tried his best to promote this business, so he urged Sun and Dongda to write a joint excerpt on the spot and send it back to the capital overnight.

Dongda didn't want to care, but because of the presence of Si Gonggong, he had no choice but to write his name on the fold.

This recital was sent back to the capital overnight, and not long after, a boulder was thrown down in the dreary court.

"How can such a large amount of iron ore be given away casually? What if someone uses it to rebel? "There are people who are extremely worried.

Some people also took the excerpt written by Master Sun and said, "This lists how much iron ore a machine will use, and the amount we give is well controlled, so they will not have any surplus, so that there is no need to worry about someone making a fuss about these iron ores......
