Before coming to the small courtyard in the northeast, Baochai suddenly said: "Sister Lin's mind is a little heavier, recently she either went to the back building alone, or went to the small garden on the edge of the east courtyard to sit idly. Fourth brother Jian, I'll go first. ”

"Sister Xue, walk slowly."

Li Weijian watched Baochai go with the money, and thought in his heart, it was not easy to go to the back building, because he always had to pass through Jia's mother's house. The old lady can't rub the sand in her eyes, and if she goes too much, she will definitely peek into her mind. It's the small garden on the edge of the east compound, which often goes around, and I can't say that I can meet Daiyu by chance.

Li Weijian pressed his mind and returned to his small courtyard. Later, he entered the study to write and paint, and when he stayed in the evening, Xiu Ying was greasy and crooked, and was slapped twice by Li Weijian to be honest.

He always has to save some energy, Ming'er has a lot of things, he has to find the Zhongyong King to sell miserably, and he has to see how Fu Qiufang is doing. Besides, it happens that Ming'er is resting in chess, and he always has to recuperate.

Turning the day, Li Weijian pinched the hour and went out and went straight to the inner mansion. The mentor Yan Xiyao said that King Zhongyong entered the palace yesterday and saw Tai Shang, and he probably won't enter the palace today.

When I went to the Denei Mansion, I handed the sign inside, and I looked for a principal to listen to it, and the King of Zhongyong really arrived early in the morning.

Li Weijian hurriedly asked to see him, and was immediately invited to the lobby by Liang Langzhong.

King Zhongyong has a ruddy complexion and high spirits recently, and he has earned more than 10 million taels of silver before and after the water service, and 5 million has been removed for internal payment, and more than 5 million have been left in the inner government. Except for the water company's cost of laying pipelines, most of them have now been transferred to the Xishan Coal Mine.

Because of Li Weijian's idea, King Zhongyong ordered his subordinates to negotiate the acquisition with various mines, and if they couldn't get along, they would talk about underwriting, and they always wanted to keep the Jingshi coal in the hands of the inner government.

Yesterday there was good news, and finally the two negotiated the underwriting. After a little calculation, 200 million catties of coal can be sent to Beijing at the end of August, and now all the coal mines in Xishan are in the hands of the inner government, so naturally there is no need to hurt people.

The secretary of the inner government calculated that it only had to be sold at the original price, and the net income of 200 million catties of coal was 200,000 taels. If the Xishan Coal Mine is also issued shares like the water company, although it is not as gold-absorbing as the water company, it can still be recorded in the account of two or three million.

King Zhongyong had confidence, and yesterday he entered the palace to see the Taishang, and went to see the saint again. When he said this, he immediately provoked the praise of the saint.

The so-called drinking water thinks of the source, the loyal and brave king is a general with troops, and he knows that if he wants his subordinates to work together, he must have clear rewards and punishments. Because he saw Li Weijian, he immediately said with a pleasant face: "Resurrection can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, this king will send someone to find you." ”

"Oh? Seeing that the prince is so happy, I think it must be a good thing? ”

"Sit down, sit down and talk." King Zhongyong invited Li Weijian to sit down, and then he told the situation of the Xishan Coal Mine.

Li Weijian immediately congratulated: "Congratulations to the prince, when I look back, the shares issued by Xishan Coal Mine can probably support a plate of four million taels, and those wealthy businessmen who have never bought a water company will definitely rush to it." ”

"Hahaha, this matter is a loss to resurrection and even plan again. Yesterday, the king faced the saint, and the saint showed his mouth. It is said that when the resurrection is over, the previous work will be rewarded with the resurrection. ”

"Thank you for your kind words."

King Zhongyong waved his hand: "Huh? There have been punishments, and meritorious deeds deserve rewards. The saint is a wise king, how can he turn a blind eye to the merits of resurrection? This king is just telling the truth. ”

Li Weijian just smiled faintly, and his smile was a little bitter.

King Zhongyong smacked his lips and said, "Why are you not satisfied with your resurrection?" ”

"Don't dare." Li Weijian said: "Students are because of other things. ”

"Oh? Tell me what is the matter? ”

Li Weijian said: "The prince also knows that the great master saw that the students had some practical knowledge, so he ordered the students to help calculate the range table of the new artillery of the Ministry of Engineering. ”

King Zhongyong was immediately interested. Compared with being in charge of the inner government, this prince is more willing to lead the troops to the battle. As soon as you hear that it is artillery, you must not pay more attention.

Because he said: "The new type of artillery has been seen by the king, but it is only bronze to cast iron, and the weight is lighter than in the past, which is not unusual. ”

"The student doesn't know about this. However, the students tested for several months and used calculus to calculate a set of formulas, and the resulting range gauge can guarantee a 30% hit from a distance of 1,000 paces, regardless of wind or shine. ”

"Sancheng?"

Li Weijian continued: "1,500 steps, probably one out of six. ”

King Zhongyong suddenly got up and patted the case: "Wonderful! If this is the case, the king will immediately enter the palace to ask for the resurrection. ”

Li Weijian said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, my range meter was rejected by the Great Sikong, saying that it has its own advantages and disadvantages with Qin Tianjian's range meter. ”

King Zhongyong was furious: "Phew! Qin Tianjian's cannons that only know how to be a bird? Most of the gunners in the army fired their guns according to experience, and if they really followed the range table of Qin Tianjian, they were afraid that they would be laughed off by the Dzungars. ”

King Zhongyong's words are not false, the range table given by Qin Tianjian earlier, it is okay within 800 steps, and after 800 steps, it will always be a few feet behind, and he is all counting on the ricocheting bullet to hit people. After 1,500 steps, catching up with the strong wind can sometimes be about ten zhang away.

Because it was a fierce battle in Qinghai, the artillery team of Dashun and Dzungar was half a catty against eight taels, if there was really such a hit rate as Li Weijian said, and the King of Zhongyong was confident that he would collapse Dzungar with artillery alone, why would the fierce battle be fruitless for several months?

After a pause, King Zhongyong suddenly thought about it, Li Weijian made a special trip to complain today. Although the King of Loyalty and Courage did not participate in this dispute in the court, he also knew about it. He knew that Yan Xiyao and Chen Hongmou parted ways, and the great Sikong Gu Weiyue was in the same party as Chen Hongmou, so it was expected that Li Weijian was suppressed because of this.

Although he knew that he was being pushed by Li Weijian, King Zhongyong was not disgusted in his heart. Ten years ago, he was just an idle prince in his twenties, and he had the intention to lead the troops to sweep away the thieves, but the situation did not allow it. So the daily family played with guns and sticks, and was privately said by the courtiers to be 'vulgar' and didn't care.

Once the situation changed abruptly, his brother ascended the throne, the loyal and brave king was reused, and when he went out, he led the troops to fight in Hanhai, and when he entered, he was in charge of the inner palace to relieve the king's worries, and he had already fulfilled his wish in this life. He didn't want to take the position of the big treasure, just looking at the imperial brother who had been trembling and walking on thin ice for ten years, he knew that the position was not easy to sit on.

Now the only regret of the loyal and brave king is that he has not destroyed his old enemy Dzungaria. It is because the loyal and brave king of the court is naturally too lazy to mix, but the military weapons such as firearms and artillery, the loyal and brave king is particularly concerned.

He ignored Li Weijian's careful thoughts, and pointed at Li Weijian with a smile: "Calculated to the head of this king?" Oh, okay, this king will turn around for you. I want to see who dares to delay the military affairs because of the government! ”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Lord Shengming." ”

King Zhongyong said: "Don't pat yourself on the back, it's too late!" Ugly words ahead, if your range meter is not good, this king can only ask you. ”

"The student would like to take the head—"

"Phew!" King Zhongyong scolded with a smile: "Your Li Fusheng's head is worth at least tens of millions of silver, I don't dare to cut it off, otherwise the saint will definitely find me trouble."

There is only one, this king has come out for you, do you have to repay one or two? After a pause, seeing that Li Weijian was puzzled, King Zhongyong said: "I thought that this Xishan Coal Mine could also be spread out like a water company, but now the income is calculated, and the difference is too big." Resurrection, you don't have any ideas lately? ”

Dare to love for this, Li Weijian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that this loyal and brave king was afraid that he was addicted to making money.

Just as he was about to speak, King Zhongyong said again: "Don't worry, you have to wait until you pass the autumn season." That's it, this king is waiting for your good idea! Come on, send me back to life. ”

This is not a chance to open his mouth and refuse at all. But who is Li Weijian? The previous water affairs and Xishan coal mine were just a small test, and there were many ghost ideas in his heart, where was he afraid of this.

But this idea has to be released one by one, otherwise it will suddenly spread out, and I am afraid that something will go wrong. Moreover, this will also raise the expectations of the loyal and brave king and the saints, which is not a good thing.

Liang Langzhong sent Li Weijian away with a smile, and parted with his envy for the trust of the loyal and brave king to Li Weijian, and this kind of compliment and flattery was not expressed.

……………………………………………………

To the west of Laojuntang, ten alleys.

The window was pushed open, and Si Qi, who was only wearing his belly pocket, glanced at the outside, and then turned around. She is also like dough this time, and her whole body is like being fished out of water, and she is stained with sweat. Clothes were scattered around the table, and two hemp ropes hung from the beams.

Master Li Weijian is similar, lying on the bed with his hands on his pillows, and crossing Erlang's legs. Si Qi moved his body awkwardly and approached, but he wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't speak.

Who would have thought that the fourth master would look at a serious person like him every day, and he would know so many tricks. This experience can make Si Qi miserable, whale oil and water bladders were used, and in the end they took advantage of the heart of the thrifty fourth master. The fourth master was not satisfied, and when he got to the end, he took out a hemp rope and hung her up......

Thinking about Fang Cai's situation, Si Qi felt ashamed. But somehow, this son is extremely satisfied. Fang Cai Jian Fourth Master laughed at her for being a shaking Aim, such a strange word, and asked for a long time if the Fourth Master Jian didn't say what it meant.

Si Qi only felt that he was really following the right person, the fourth master of thrift...... Up and down can be her mind.

She thought about it, leaned over and lay in Li Weijian's arms, picked up a fan and gently fanned it.

After a while, Si Qi complained: "I don't know when this day will be a leader." ”

Li Weijian smiled: "Can't wait? ”

Si Qimei smiled: "Yes, I want to panic when I don't see the fourth master for a day, but I can only see it once a month." After a pause, he asked again: "Fourth master, what about you and the second girl-"

Li Weijian interrupted: "What's the hurry, you have to talk about it after the autumn." Besides, you don't know what the old man and the big lady are thinking. If I had been eager, I would have been bitten off by these two people. ”

Si Qi made a difficulty, and anyone who stood up to the Yue family like the eldest master would have to worry. She can't wait for Jia Yu to die immediately.

After thinking about it for a while, Si Qi couldn't think of a way to come up with a side for a while, so he turned to smile and said, "Fourth master, whisper something, second girl-" She whispered a few words in her ear.

Li Weijian blinked and said with a smile: "Are you still laughing at the second sister?" You're so much better than that. Look at the water stains on the ground, aren't they all caused by you? ”

Si Qi was disgusted, obviously half a head taller than Li Weijian, but this son was a little bird and obsessed with his arms.

Although it was bright outside, it was past the time of application. Li Weijian tossed for two hours, he was so tired that he wanted to take a look at Fu Qiufang, but he didn't have the heart to do it.

It took a short nap before waking up. As soon as he got up, he woke up Si Qi beside him, rubbed his eyes and hurriedly served. Li Weijian put on his clothes and said: "It's not too tired to panic when you always do it yourself, go back and buy two maids to serve, you also enjoy the taste of being served."

You don't have any money there, I'll give you-"

"Fourth master, I don't lack silver." Si Qi said: "I can come out once a month, it's really not worth raising two maids for this." I was looking forward to the fourth master taking the second girl early, and I would be by the fourth master's side in the future. ”

Li Weijian tied up his clothes, pinched Si Qi's plump face, and said, "Don't talk about it, you should take care of the second sister first." Her temperament, if no one takes care of her, I don't know how much anger she will suffer. ”

"I'll save it."

When it was close to You, Li Weijian returned to Rongguo Mansion. Entering the main room of her house, Qingwen's nose wrinkled, and she smelled the familiar smell again.

Qingwen was secretly annoyed in her heart, and she didn't know how to think about it, so she hung up. Li Weijian coaxed a few sentences, and it happened that Hongyu came back later after the heat, and he was tired and hungry at this time, so he devoured it.

Li Weijian asked Hongyu what she had seen and heard in the mansion today, Hongyu shook her head with a smile, thought about it and said, "When I came back, I saw Miss Lin leading the snow geese to the small garden of the East Courtyard. ”

"Huh?" Li Weijian paused, then drank all the porridge in three or two sips, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, got up and said, "Sister Lin is not in a good mood this time, I have to go and take a look." ”

Qingwen chased after two steps and said: "Fourth master, don't be in a hurry at this moment, you have to finish eating." ”

Li Weijian waved his hand and said, "I'll eat when I come back." ”

You can eat at any time, it's not easy to see Sister Lin once, so you have to grasp it.

He ordered the red jade and accompanied him, bypassed the east courtyard, and in a blink of an eye came to the small garden. From afar, I saw Daiyu leaning over next to a flower and plant, and I didn't know if I felt the same way and wanted to bury the flowers.

Thaksin walked up to the front and beckoned, "Sister Lin." ”

"Fourth Brother Frugal?" Daiyu got up and saluted, and said, "Why did Fourth Brother Jian come here?" ”

"After dinner, I wandered around, I didn't want to see Sister Lin. Sister Lin, this is—"

Daiyu pointed to the flowers and plants and said, "This one seems to be a poppy." ”

Li Weijian glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's hard to say. Xu is a poppy, Xu is a hibiscus, and he will not know until he grows into a flower. ”

Daiyu bowed her head and said: "Yes, when I was a child, I looked the same, who knows what it will become in the future?" She looked at Li Weijian, with an unquenchable sorrow between her eyebrows.

Li Weijian knew in his heart that Sister Lin would have troubles at this time.
