As the marriage book was torn apart, Yue Dashan sighed and left the Chu family with Yue Qingqing.

"Whew... Finally got rid of that guy. ”

The moment he left Yongping Village, Yue Qingqing breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then said to Yue Dashan beside him excitedly:

"Dad, Brother Niu has already promised his daughter, as long as his daughter withdraws from the marriage, he will immediately bring a generous gift to the door to propose, their family has several acres of good land, I don't know how many times better than their Chu family, my daughter can definitely live a good life when she marries, countless times better than marrying Chu!"

After a pause, she continued: "And Brother Niu will definitely be able to prepare a generous gift that will satisfy your father, and then Huzi's marriage will be settled, don't Erniu's family want two stones of rice noodles?" Brother Niu will definitely be able to get it together, and Brother Niu is filial, and he will definitely treat you like a father, you just wait to enjoy the blessings. ”

Hearing this, Yue Dashan did not see a trace of joy on his face.

He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You can live a good life in the future, just live your own life, Dad, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Seeing his father's appearance, Yue Qingqing couldn't help but puff his mouth.

"Dad, are you still blaming your daughter?"

"Nope."

Yue Dashan shook his head in denial, but his expression was a little lonely.

There was a hint of apology in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yue Qingqing suddenly frowned.

"Dad, you don't want to see your daughter live a hard life, do you?"

As she spoke, she pointed in the direction where the Chu family was located, and her voice raised a degree: "Daughter, I am also a beautiful girl with a small reputation in ten miles and eight towns, I don't know how many lovers want to marry my daughter, what does he have in Chu?" has neither fame, nor any ability to make a living, let alone a way, the Chu family has no land now, and they have to find ways to raise money for Chu to study, obviously the family is poor and white, and they are so embarrassed that they have to live on mutual food, and they have to squeeze out the money, not to mention that Chu doesn't have the ......material to study at all."

She kept complaining.

"If my daughter marries this kind of person, what will she live on in the future? Is it just that the ten acres of land that my grandfather gave to their family are all charcoal? Who doesn't know that those coals are worthless, and they also harm the fields to not grow food, and if their daughters marry them, won't they have to sit and eat nothing? How many days can you eat with just those ten stones of grain? ”

"Daddy, do you want your daughter to starve to death in Montenegro?"

Speaking of which, she completely vented her long-standing grievances.

"My daughter will leave her words here today, no matter whether your father regrets it or not, my daughter will never step into the Chu family in the future, even if I marry a beggar in the future, I will never look at that surnamed Chu directly!"

was questioned by his daughter repeatedly, Yue Dashan was speechless.

In the end, he just said sorry to Chu Zhan in his heart, and didn't say anything more.

And as Yue Dashan and Yue Qingqing left the Chu family, similar scenes were staged from time to time in villages all over Montenegro.

Even the marriage contract made under the friendship of life and death can be reversed, let alone an ordinary marriage contract.

Of course, not all the divorced people are as calm as Chu, most of the people's families are begging bitterly in the face of repentance, and even begging each other to save the family affairs that have been decided with great difficulty, and some are even trying to use the ten stone mutual aid grain that they finally got to increase the dowry.

It's the only thing they can get their hands on.

However, no matter how much they pleaded, those who proposed to repent of their marriage refused to agree, and even if they returned some more dowry, they had to draw a line with them, the common people.

Although the Taihe County Gong set the rules and agreed with the people of Shiyi in three chapters, he would not exploit the people, but there was no hope at all to live in the ghost place of Montenegro where there was no food, after all, ordinary farmers rely on heaven and earth to eat, and if there is no field, they will lose everything, even if they can work and earn wages, it is only temporary.

There is always a time when the work is done, and there is always a day when the wages are spent.

Marry your daughter to Montenegro, and you have to enter the household of the people in Shiyi, don't say if you can help your mother's family in the future, don't make trouble for your mother's family, and let your mother's family help you.

For a few catties of rice and noodles, sell their daughter completely, as long as the family really can't open the pot, most people who claim to have a long-term vision will not do it.

As a result, the wave of repentance began to sweep through the villages near Montenegro.

The news soon reached the ears of Gu Simiao, who was the prince of Taihe County.

However, at the same time, there was also a letter from Lu Chen inviting her to return to Beijing to discuss the establishment of a coal mining and refining in Taihe County.

Looking at Lu Chen's autograph, Gu Simiao couldn't help but have a subtle smile on her face.

"Someone!"

Putting down the paperwork in her hand, she suddenly got up.

Soon, the confidant who had been following her came over.

"What does the general command?"

Gu Simiao put away the paperwork, and then said to Cangyue: "Cangyue, prepare a horse for Ben Jiang, Ben is going back to Beijing." ”

Back to Beijing again?

Cangyue looked at Gu Simiao in surprise.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Cangyue always feels that since Gu Simiao returned to Beijing and was promoted to the rank of Shenwu general, it seems that it is not the same as before.

It's not that power comes down or something, but it's a different kind of strangeness.

In the past, Gu Simiao was unfathomable, decisive in killing, only the enemy and the Great Xia River and Mountains in his eyes, and nothing else, the face of the world that captivated the country and the city was always covered with a layer of ice that seemed to never melt, and he stayed in the military camp most of the time, and rarely cared about the temple affairs.

But now she always runs to the capital when she has nothing to do, almost every time Mu Xiu has to make a special trip back, and now it is even worse, and she has to go back after a few days in the barracks.

Obviously, the Gu family has already returned to Nanpi.

Moreover, she once rushed back to Beijing to find Gu Simiao because of an important matter, and when she passed by Dongshi, she saw this peerless general who was like a god in her eyes and trusted by soldiers in a shop specializing in rouge gouache.

At that moment, she couldn't believe her eyes, rubbed them several times, and when she checked carefully, she found that Gu Simiao not only wore light makeup on her face, but also wore a few delicate jewelry.

Obviously, even if I used to travel in casual clothes, I would simply tie up the conspicuous long silver-white hair with a black headband.

Cangyue, who has been single for twenty-two years, even wondered if the general had fallen into some evil after returning to Beijing, and why was it so abnormal, just like when he was in Huangzhou before.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Simiao saw that she was stunned, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Huh?"

Cangyue came back to her senses in an instant.

"I'm sorry, General, the last general was thinking about something, and he was a little distracted, please punish the General."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Simiao waved her hand, not doubting him, but asked her to quickly order the guards to prepare the horses.

Cangyue nodded, bowed down, and then gathered her mind and shook off the messy thoughts in her head, before turning around and leaving.

As she walked, she clenched her fists inexplicably, and secretly made up her mind in her heart that she would ask Gu Simiao for a leave of absence later, and find an excuse to go to the county mansion to stay for a while to see what the general was busy with every time he returned to Kyoto.

Anyway, now that the military affairs of the forbidden army are on the right track, it is not impossible to miss her and Gu Simiao in a short period of time, after all, there is Xuan Feng, an experienced Confucian general, and nothing can go wrong.

……………

Luojing, Purple Pole City, Taiji Palace.

Morning.

"See Your Majesty!"

The ministers and officials bowed down one after another and saluted the empress.

The Empress raised her hand.

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the process that would happen every day was over, without waiting for others to do something, Lu Chen stood up.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do."

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time and suddenly came out of the ranks, everyone couldn't help but look abrupt, and subconsciously became nervous, and some courtiers even looked like they were facing a great enemy.

The Empress nodded.

"Lu Qing, please speak."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen slowly straightened up, looked at the wat board in his hand, and then said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, regarding the application and development of charcoal, after the unremitting efforts of eighty officials from the Tiangong Division, a special potion that can refine charcoal so that it does not produce toxic smoke when burned has been developed, and it has been determined that its potion can be produced on a large scale......

Without the slightest defense, Lu Chen just released a bombshell.

As the saying goes, if you don't make a sound, it is a blockbuster, and after a long silence, he spoke again, and what he said was as appalling as ever.

Everyone had a feeling of doubting life on the spot.

Carboniferous development?

Burning charcoal that does not produce toxic smoke ?!

In the next moment, almost all the courtiers widened their eyes and looked at Lu Chen with a shocked expression.

Especially Wu Yue, the head of the household, was completely stunned at this time.

Special potions?

A special potion that can remove the poisonous smoke from the coal?!

This... It's priceless!

Tiangong Division... Really made such a magical priceless treasure?!

As the money bag of the imperial court, he was extremely sensitive to money, and he almost instinctively realized the extraordinaryness of the special potion that Lu Chen said.

Realizing this, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Lu Chen continued: "Through strict tests, all the officials of the Tiangong Division unanimously determined that the charcoal that has been refined and shaped can be used on a large scale, and only needs to be matched with a special furnace designed and developed by the Tiangong Division, and due to the huge reserves of charcoal in various places and the extremely low cost of raw materials, Your Majesty cares about the people and can sell the charcoal to Baixin at a low price. ”

As soon as the words fell, the empress nodded directly.

"Yes, this matter will be handled according to Lu Qing's wishes."

"Weichen, on behalf of all the people of the world, thank you Your Majesty Longen!"

Lu Chen bowed heavily towards the empress.

Seeing that Lu Chen and the empress were like kings and ministers, and they decided on such a big thing as the price of charcoal in a chatter and laughter, Wu Yue only felt a tremor in his heart, and his heart cramped.

Even his breathing became much shorter.

Although Lu Chen had turned decay into magical means several times before, he was vaguely aware that this matter of charcoal might have something strange that he didn't expect.

From time to time, he also heard the news that Lu Chen was "not doing his job" and staying in the Tiangong Division all day long to mingle with those crooked cultivators who were studying strange skills and tricks, and he felt more and more wrong.

But when all the uneasiness and foreboding turned into reality, he felt the world spin for a while.

After reacting, my heart instantly hurt so much that I couldn't breathe.

Oh my God, old man, this is a chicken that has missed a golden egg?

In my mind, I inexplicably came up with the picture that more than a month ago, Lu Chen proposed in the court to set up the Tiangong Division, which was funded by the Ministry of Households, and assigned it to the Ministry of Industry, one of the six departments, and the profit and loss were linked to the Ministry of Households.

At that time, he refused without hesitation, and even did not hesitate to offend Lu Chen, a big celebrity in the dynasty, and did not hesitate to argue with the empress, and finally saved a lot of expenses for the household department.

Afterwards, many colleagues praised him for his loyalty to the country, uprightness, daring to speak and resisting, and being a peerless national warrior.

But now

Peerless Warriors? I'm afraid it would be good if I didn't give him a hat that misled the country and the people, right?!

And the other courtiers couldn't help but breathe stagnantly after reacting.

This carboniferous... If it is really as Lu Chen said, the charcoal ...... How many more people will buy it?

I'm afraid it's only a big family with a solid family, right?

So what about people who have a charcoal business at home? The demand has decreased so much all of a sudden, how can they still fill a lot of sacks with money when the cold winter is coming every year?

How do you dig out the copper plate from the pockets of those ignorant leaders?

At this moment, it is clear that it is only the end of spring this year, but there are already some people in the main hall who have a clear premonition that this winter, for them, is likely to become extremely cold.

But even so, they did not dare to say more.

After all, the Tiangong Division directly belongs to the emperor, and the people in the Tiangong Division are all the emperor's ministers, and the profits and losses of this yamen are only linked to the internal treasury, that is, the empress's small treasury, and have nothing to do with the six ministries at all.

It's purely the empress's private matter, where do they dare to talk more?
