The reason why Xishan is called Xishan is because it is located in the west of the capital. And the West Mountain is not just a mountain, Cuiwei Mountain, Pingpo Mountain, Lushi Mountain, Xiangshan and Yumai Lotus Leaf Mountain, Weng Mountain, etc., these are all called West Mountain.

The hill here is located in Mentougou, rich in black coal and white coal. The so-called black coal is ordinary coal, but white coal is high-quality anthracite.

Li Weijian inspected several coal kilns with King Zhongyong, and probably had a plan in his heart. The loyal and brave king stopped in the middle of the mountain, and some of his men had already erected curtains and pergolas. King Zhongyong invited Li Weijian to sit down, and when the fragrant tea was served, he asked: "I've also seen the resurrection, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Li Weijian raised his eyes and saw that the King of Loyalty and Courage had earnest eyes, and secretly wondered in his heart, this King of Loyalty and Courage is afraid that he will regard himself as Zhiduoxing? Inquire about everything, and in the long run, you will definitely be trusted.

Li Weijian groaned: "Lord Wang, students do have a foolishness. ”

"Oh? Come on. ”

Li Weijian said: "There is no basis for what I said, and I asked the prince to send paper and pencils." ”

King Zhongyong waved his hand casually, and immediately a small official stepped forward to offer pen and paper.

Li Weijian got up and said 'offended', then spread out the paper, sketched the terrain with the pencil, and then drew an object along the ravine.

King Zhongyong was so anxious that he couldn't wait, so he simply got up and stopped at Li Weijian's side to watch. In front of him, the shape was almost drawn, and King Zhongyong couldn't help but say, "Look at this...... How does it look like a pulley? ”

Li Weijian finished sketching with two strokes, and said with a smile: "The prince has a high opinion, and the reason is the same as that pulley. Lord Wang, please see, this car has an iron-bottomed wooden frame, a car is loaded with hundreds of catties of coal, and it goes down the mountain without manpower, so it doesn't save some throwing fees? ”

"Well," King Zhongyong touched his chin and pointed to the two lines, "Then these two lines ......."

"Railroad tracks. lest the block get out of control and overturn halfway. ”

King Zhongyong thought for a while, and nodded at the previous Langzhong: "You come, calculate how much silver you will have to throw away, and how much silver you will save." ”

Lang Zhong arched his hand forward, asked carefully about the shape, and then frowned, and muttered for a while before saying: "Lord, if the rest of the mountains build rail blocks like this, I am afraid that it will cost 30,000 or 50,000 silver." But in the long run, it will probably be able to return to its original cost in the early years of the year. ”

Zhongyong Wang Ledao: "Will you return to your roots in more than a year? Wonderful, what are you waiting for, this king has turned around and ordered, and he will build it first. ”

Na Langzhong said: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that the silver money is not enough." Raising his hand and pointing to the deep ditch below: "This ditch is getting silted up day by day, and it needs to be cleaned up, so it has to be 50,000 taels, and the coal mine will be shut down for half a year." ”

This deep ditch is the drainage. Most of the seepage water pumped out of the pit poured into the deep trench. Over time, the cinder has spread a thick layer underneath, and the deep ditch is useless.

Twenty years ago, when Taishang was in power, due to the silting up of deep ditches, there was a shortage of coal in Beijing, and firewood, charcoal and other heating things more than doubled in winter, causing a good event. Later, Taishang allocated 40,000 taels of silver, and ordered the Ministry of Engineering to dredging, and it was dredged after half a year.

King Zhongyong frowned, and habitually looked at Li Weijian.

Li Weijian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the student is completely ignorant of water conservancy." ”

King Zhongyong sighed and said: "This year, let's do this, while it has not been silted up, hurry up and send 200 million catties of coal to Jingshi, and then carry out dredging after getting the money." ”

The stock exchange has not yet opened, and most of the silver money obtained by the inner government has been used to buy abandoned coal kilns, except for the water towers and water pipes.

Turning his head, the King of Loyalty and Courage said, "What is the resurrection of this thing...... Well, when you get back to the money, you will make it. ”

Li Weijian smiled and gave up his hand. The rail block was built first, and it was a narrow-gauge railway that extended a few more miles, and he Li Weijian was preparing for the train in the coming day.

On this day, Li Weijian followed the Zhongyong King to turn a few more hills, and did not return until dusk, and when he arrived at home, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

Entering the main room, Li Weijian took off his cloak, and Hongyu said: "Fourth master, the eldest lady has sent someone to ask a few times today, thinking that there is something to find the fourth master." ”

"Hmm." Li Weijian answered, and went straight to clean his hands.

Mrs. Xing came to find it, which is the meaning of the question. Since the two of them coveted his shares, how could they be so offended? It's always an afterthought.

Hongyu peeked at Li Weijian, saw that his face was as usual, and then said, "I also heard that the second girl is sick today." ”

Sick for spring? I think it's definitely a heart disease. This Rongguo Mansion is not as good as the palace with four leaky winds, and if there are any major or minor things, it will be known to everyone in a blink of an eye. Thinking about it yesterday, after she left, the second girl Yingchun must have been tricked, and before the ugly state was shown, she didn't say that she was such a character as Yingchun, but she was afraid that she would have no face to see people if she changed to a cool Tanchun.

Li Weijian frowned and sighed, and didn't say much. On the stall, the eldest lord and Mrs. Xing's father and stepmother, the second girl is also strange and pitiful. He thought that after instructing Si Qi in the coming day, he must always protect the second girl.

Ruby had some words on her lips, but she didn't know how to speak. Although Li Weijian didn't say anything to her yesterday, but Xiangling was on duty at night, Qingwen was very upset for Li Weijian in the wing room for a while, and Hongyu listened to the mother-in-law outside today, and faintly thought about yesterday's events.

The eldest lord and the eldest lady are naturally hateful for scheming and thrift, but the fourth master fell for the trick and came back directly, why did he want to go to such a filthy place? What if I get a lesion?

Besides, although the fourth master acted in a disciplined manner, he was a year younger than her, so he was afraid that he would recognize the taste of it, and he was addicted to it from then on. If it's okay if it's only at home, their big girls are meant to serve, but if they stay outside...... That's not good.

Li Weijian washed his hands, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Hongyu's appearance, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to stop talking?" Say whatever you want. ”

Hongyu is not as good as Qingwen in the end, and said tactfully: "Seeing that April is going to be autumn in August, it is not good for the fourth master to run outside in the future, it is better to stay at home and study more." ”

Li Weijian was skilled, and after a little thought, he knew that this pretty girl was tactfully persuading, so he said: "You can rest assured." I have traveled to the West Mountain with King Zhongyong today, and there is soot and slag sticking to my clothes. ”

Hongyu was slightly relieved and said, "I just said it casually, and I always want the fourth master to make his own decision." ”

While he was talking, he heard a voice from outside, followed by someone calling the door.

Hongyu hurriedly went to greet her, and then shouted in the courtyard: "Fourth master, the eldest lady has come to see you." ”

Li Weijian smiled secretly, and said in his heart, and look at how Mrs. Xing is hypocritical after a while. So he got up and greeted the door, pretended to be depressed, and scribbled his hand and said, "Why did the eldest lady come?" Please come inside. ”

Mrs. Xing raised her eyes and glanced at it, and her heart tightened. How Li Weijian angrily scolded Xue Pan before, but it spread all over Rongguo Mansion, and he didn't say a single dirty word, but he scolded the Xue family bloody.

She was worried in her heart, with a flattering look on her face, and said as she walked inside: "I wanted to come to see Brother Jian yesterday, but it happened that it was dark when I came back." I sent someone to take a look today, but Brother Jian went out early in the morning...... No, when I heard that Brother Jian had just returned, I hurriedly came over to say that I was annoyed. ”

Li Weijian frowned and said, "What does this mean, big lady?" Please be seated. ”

Mrs. Xing sat down slowly and said: "It's all the fault of the people below, the second girl kindly set up a banquet, and the mother-in-law below was greedy for money, so she secretly deducted half of it, and took a hanging of money to give the kitchen a jar of osmanthus stuffing." The mother-in-law in the kitchen was angry, so she casually took the medicinal wine brewed by the old man to deal with things. Coincidentally, I let Brother Jian drink it—"

After a pause, he said, "It's not just Brother Jian'er who has been tricked, but also the second girl...... It's extremely unbearable. The second girl felt that she had no face to see people, and she didn't know how to be annoyed, so I, as an elder, had to reluctantly embarrass me and come to Gfromics on behalf of the second girl. ”

Li Weijian was suddenly impressed by Mrs. Xing in his heart, and these remarks were all made by the people below, and they had nothing to do with Mrs. Xing and the eldest master. I don't know if Mrs. Xing thought about it herself, or if she was pointed out by others.

It's just that Li Weijian, where is it so easy to be vague?

"That's how it is." Li Weijian frowned and said: "Big wife, it's not that I care, it's really too dangerous this time." Imagine if I hadn't noticed the difference in the drink, wouldn't I have done that kind of thing without a child? It's just that I have a bad reputation, and the second girl is still alive?

The subordinates around the eldest lady have their own eldest wife's control, and I can't put my beak in it. Just ask the eldest lady to tell me who is in the kitchen with the wrong drink. If such a bastard does not rush out quickly, how can he continue to plague people? ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Xing was dumbfounded, and she didn't know how to pick up the stubble.

She thought about these words, and discussed them with Wang Shanbao's family, so she decided on the draft, and she didn't want Li Weijian to break the mystery. If this person randomly identifies individuals and confronts the old lady in the future, won't it be exposed?

Mrs. Xing sneered: "Xu is an unintentional mistake for a while, our Rongguo Mansion treats people the most leniently, where can we get out of this little mistake?" ”

"No!" Li Weijian said with a straight face: "Who knows if he made an unintentional mistake for a while, or if he did it intentionally?" I just took the wrong master's medicinal wine yesterday, what if it is mixed with arsenic in the coming day? ”

"This ...... Not yet, not yet. ”

Li Weijian insisted: "You have to guard against it." ”

Madame Xing was speechless, and could only say some words of consolation, and then got up and hurriedly said goodbye and left—she didn't say who was wrong in the kitchen.

Because Li Weijian became more and more sure in his heart, these three indiscriminate methods must come from the hands of that pair of fools. I went back like this, I think Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing will stop for a while, right? As for revenge, there is no hurry for the time being, and we must always look for mistakes and omissions.

The matter of Ping'an Prefecture can be big or small, the last time I met the saint in the Armed Forces Academy, he brought Yuanchun with him, and the day when he wanted to come to Yuanchun as a concubine is not far away. Wang Ziteng has not completely swept the Jia family's forces out of the army, and the saint has to endure for a while. This time he poked it out, not so much to harm Jia Yu, but to save Jia Yu.

When the time comes, the thunder will be loud and the rain will be small.

After sending Mrs. Xing, Li Weijian returned to the main room, and someone from outside came to visit, but it was the eldest sister Li Kun.

Li Weijian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out again.

"Big sister?"

Li Kun's face was anxious, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Weijian's hand to look up and down, and said, "Brother Jian is okay, right?" ”

Li Weijian smiled: "What can I do?" ”

Li Kun said: "Don't hide it, I know everything." East Cross Courtyard ...... It's really indiscriminate! ”

Li Kun was angry and rarely scolded the street.

Li Weijian hurriedly said: "There are many people outside, so the big sister should come in and talk." ”

When the two of them entered the room, some private words were not easy to spread, so they sent the maid and mother-in-law far away.

Li Kunwu snorted angrily: "Earlier, I only said that they just gave up their face to sell girls, where did they think that they even sold their own girls for money!" Brother Frugal, the second girl, I watched her grow up, and her temperament was the softest. If you don't have such parents, it's a good match. It's just that with such parents, the thrifty brother should still be decided. ”

"Well, big sister, I know it."

Li Kun observed his words and looks, and saw that he was just smiling and bowing his head, as if he didn't care, and couldn't help but mention: "Brother Jian has also reached such an age, this ...... There are also young muai. It is said that I shouldn't talk about this, but the third uncle and aunt went early, and you are only one left. ”

Li Weijian was slightly surprised: "What does the big sister want to say?" ”

Li Kun bit his lower lip lightly and muttered: "Brother Jian is so capable, he will always get married in three or two years." The girls in this house, the second girl has such parents, the fourth girl is too young, and the third girl has the best temperament, and she can also manage the family in the future, but her aunt is ...... It's really not welcome.

Brother Jian has a quarrel with the Xue family again, and I think Miss Bao is a scheming person, but I'm afraid it's not a good match. ”

Li Weijian wondered: "How can the eldest sister see that Miss Xue has a scheming? ”

"I heard Su Yun say that these days, the Bao girl has been splashing silver taels everywhere and making friends, and this is a good son of the Daobao girl from all over the house. The previous affairs of the Xue family were also the fault of her unreliable brother. ”

Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, even the eldest sister knew about this matter, but he didn't know about it. Why didn't Ruby tell herself?

Then he smiled and said: "In this way, there is really no girl in this house." ”

Li Kun said: "There are two...... One is Miss Lin. It's just that the old lady has always wanted to match Baoyu and Miss Lin, and Brother Jian is afraid that there is no chance; And then there is Xiangyun. ”

"Miss Shi?"

Li Kun said with a smile: "Before Miss Lin came, Xiangyun had been living in the old lady's room. At this time, when he was getting older, he took him back to the Shi family to raise. Xiangyun is the most coquettish, open-minded and refreshing, but unfortunately he is a little younger. ”
