The King of Loyalty and Courage walked with his hands in his hands and said, "This east wind is good, but it is too much to throw away." ”

Saltpeter and sulfur are just that, these two are Dashun control materials, and all major cities have nitrate officials and nitrate officials, and they have to go to the toilet if they defecate, and they dare to defecate on the street is a board. The brimstone could be purchased from RB, for there was no shortage of both.

The really expensive thing is the frosting sugar.

At this time, the frosting sugar in Liangguang was three taels and one load, and it would take four taels to transport it to Beijing. Coupled with the iron shell, this east wind will cost ten taels less than a cannon, which is much more wasteful than a cannon.

Li Weijian came over and said: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan has found a good recipe for squeezing sugar through ancient books, and when Xiaguan's factory is put into production, Xiaguan will please go south to set up a sugar business for the inner government, and I dare not say that there will still be an annual income of 10 million taels in ten years." ”

"How much?"

"Ten million taels."

King Zhongyong carefully observed and saw that Li Weijian did not seem to be a fake, so he said: "Resurrection is confident." ”

Li Weijian smiled and arched his hand, speechless. In the early days of industrialization, what were the top commodities in the world? One is textiles, one is spices, and then there is sugar.

I forgot where I looked, Li Weijian vaguely remembered that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it cost 30 million taels of silver to import sugar every year.

And now Suzhou and Hangzhou still use water-powered and animal-powered textile machines, and this time they went south to pull those gentry into the car by the way.

Moreover, there are no more than two most suitable coal-iron complexes in the Dashun territory today. One is the northeast outside the gate, and the other is Ma'anshan. And from the perspective of economic radiation and convenient transportation, Ma'anshan is undoubtedly better than outside the border.

In the coming year, Li Weijian plans to go to Ma'anshan to check it out, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely build a coal-iron complex.

The King of Loyalty and Courage was impressed. The so-called wealth is moving, there is Jingshi Water first, and Xishan Coal Mine is behind, Li Weijian packed the ticket and said that squeezing sugar can make a living with an annual income of 10 million taels, and King Zhongyong really believes it.

Because the prince said happily: "If you have this idea of resurrection, then go south next year." Suddenly, seeing Li Weijian smiling and moaning, King Zhongyong asked, "Is there a requirement for resurrection?" ”

Li Weijian said: "Lord Wang, this east wind is a new type of firearm, I am afraid that there is no one in the world who knows how to apply this thing better than me." The lower officials do not ask for anything else, but only ask that if the prince leads the troops in the coming year, please bring the lower and lower officials. ”

"You want to go to Qinghai with me? Why? ”

Li Weijian muttered: "Isn't the lower official also thinking about being motivated, promoted to an uncle, a marquis, and a wife and a son." ”

King Zhongyong glanced at him, smiled and bowed his head, and then paced in thought.

Li Weijian is so old that he has earned a lot of business, and he probably doesn't need to ask for wealth in this life; Coupled with the fact that he was still young, it was impossible for this official position to be promoted too quickly, so he could only seek promotion instead...... This is common sense.

Previously, King Zhongyong and Emperor Zhenghe occasionally mentioned Li Weijian, and Emperor Zhenghe was worried that Li Weijian would start too early, and he would be ambitious as a young man, and he would lose his enterprising spirit from then on. Now it seems that this Li Fusheng has not lost his sharpness.

Then I thought that Qinghai was vast, and when the time came, I would throw it in the rear, or leave it in the big tent to listen to it. This time Dashun has been prepared, and it will be an undefeated game if it is not good, and it will not be defeated no matter what.

Because it was the King of Loyalty, he stopped and said, "Let's see what the resurrection does." If you raise a few million more silver coins before the army, the king will be in charge, and he will bring it back to life. ”

Millions? Isn't it a piece of cake for Li Weijian?

Because Li Weijian was happy, he gave up: "Thank you for the prince's favor." ”

Rika-in.

"Shhh...... Lighter, lighter. ”

Xue Pan was lying on the kang, half-stripped of his pants, and the imperial doctor of Rongguo Mansion was wiping the medicinal wine. After a while, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand and instructed: "Uncle Xue hurt his muscles and bones this time, but it's not good to hurt the tail vertebrae again, otherwise he won't be treated." ”

"It's saved."

The Imperial Doctor bowed his head and left with the medicine box on his back. After a while, Aunt Xue and Baochai were able to enter the inside.

Aunt Xue complained: "It's so raw, how could you fall off the horse?" ”

Xue Pan frowned and said fearfully: "Mom, don't say it, it's a shame that her son left early, and if she didn't say it, she would use the Sky Monkey to blow up the general, and then the mother would have nowhere to find her son's body if she wanted to collect it." ”

"Phew, don't talk about these unlucky things!"

Xue Pan said disapprenously: "I didn't lie? If you don't believe it, ask Brother Rong and Brother Qiang. I was just feasting with my friends, and I didn't bother anything, and the guy surnamed Li shot the Iron Flying Monkey at me. ”

Xue Pan turned over in excitement, and suddenly pulled the tail vertebrae, hissing in pain, and then turned over cautiously, and gestured: "Such a long iron pipe, smashed down from the sky, and it was almost a foot on my head." ”

After a pause, he said: "I just ran out, and as soon as I got on the horse, the garden on the side of the Li family exploded, and my mother and sister never saw it, and the Jinling powder magazine exploded a few years ago." ”

The more Xue Pan spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and said: "It is said that the surname Li is the God of Wealth, and I see that he is clearly the living king of Hades." Sister, I won't go over to live this time. Whether the house is sold or rented, I don't care about it. ”

At this time, it was close to night, Xue Pan said some grumbling words, and it was not good to stay for a long time, so he left the house with the help of the servants.

Aunt Xue and Bao Chai Xian sat down, and Aunt Xue kept looking at her daughter, but she saw that there was no expression on her face. Baochai lamented in her heart that she had offended the fourth brother Jianjian before, and her mother and brother looked down on others, so only her daughter's family gave up face to beg others.

Now that the fourth brother is thrifty, the Xue family wants to rebuild the old good, how can it be so easy? If you deliberately make friends, you are afraid that you will be looked down upon and thought that you are a person who tends to be inflammatory.

Sister Bao thought about it, so she simply did the opposite, since she was already an enemy, why not be a happy enemy? In this way, Fang said that Aunt Xue was moved, and ordered Xue Pan and Li Weijian to live next to each other, and deliberately created some harmless discord, so that it was convenient for Baochai to come and go with the fourth brother Jian.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and the fourth brother of Jian didn't know what to try, and he scared his brother out of his guts. In this way, this plan naturally fell through.

Baochai and Aunt Xue are not good to leave Rongguo Mansion to go to the new house, if Li Weijian does not improve, but loses Baoyu, will it be a bamboo basket to draw water?

Sister Bao lamented in her heart, could it be that she and Fourth Brother Jian really have no fate?

Aunt Xue looked at her and said, "My son, I think you might as well put your mind away." Now that Daiyu has returned to Yangzhou, it is better to take advantage of this to have more dealings with Baoyu. ”

What else can be done now?

Baochai bit her lower lip and head: "It's saved, Mom." ”

Aunt Xue was a cliché, and sighed: "It's not the situation of our family, and it won't force you so much." My son, but he's suffering. ”

Bao Chai said leisurely: "Brother Bao is also excellent...... It would be nice if I could be more motivated. ”

Aunt Xue only said: "He is still young now, and you will often advise him in the future, saying that he will change his sex in the future." ”

"That's what Mom said." Baochai was extremely tired, got up and said, "Mom, I'm a little tired, let's go rest first." ”

"Go ahead."

Aunt Xue watched Baochai leave, and she didn't know where in her daughter's heart, in the end, the surname Li was heavier.

As for the new house, it took a lot of money to get it at a premium, so it was not good to sell it. It's not appropriate to leave it vacant, so Aunt Xue thought about it, if she went back, she would go out. It's also a lot of money.

………………………………………………

In the wax moon, the cold wind is bitter.

The carriage stopped in front of the house, Li Weijian jumped out of the carriage, rubbed his hands and shook the big and went inside. At this time, a soft sedan chair came from the alley, and the slightly opened sedan curtain revealed half of his face, and he caught a glimpse of Li Weijian, his face full of suspicion.

The soft sedan chair stopped in front of the second courtyard in the west of the Li family, and a half-old came out after getting off the sedan chair, paid the money, and hurriedly entered the house.

When I entered the main room, I saw a pair of girls sitting side by side with a girl who looked like Tilian, playing naughty. The two girls screamed, and the woman let the maid fade and complained: "Counting nine cold winters, it is really cold to death." ”

Third Sister You said, "Mother, has our house ever been rented out?" ”

You Lao Niang snorted and scolded: "I don't know where the poor sour came from, come up and bargain, this is Jingshi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but not Yungui, where do you come up and cut half of it?" I didn't bother with the poor sour, so I just came back first. ”

The second sister couldn't help but worry: "Mother, if you don't rent it out quickly, this year will be very sad." ”

The third sister also chimed in: "Yes, the second sister and I haven't made new clothes yet." ”

You Lao Niang frowned and sighed: "Look at it again, if you can't go to find your eldest sister again, there will always be a delay." ”

The third sister sneered and said, "Last time, I even ate and took it, and the eldest sister's face was no longer right." ”

You Lao Niang said stiffly: "What? It wasn't my fault that I made up the dowry, can your eldest sister marry into Ning Guofu? Your cheap dad is just a six-grade Beijing official, and he still stays in the Qingshui Yamen, and he can only get back a few taels of silver all year round? Didn't it all depend on my marriage in the previous years?

Hollowed out my dowry, your eldest sister no longer has a conscience, and now she can't ignore me. (Note 1)

The maid brought hot tea, and You Lao Niang sat at the kang table, thinking carefully about what she had just seen, and said after a while: "Speaking of which, I seem to have seen a person just now." ”

"Who?" The third sister asked.

"Li Caishen."

The third sister's face has not changed, but the second sister suddenly raised her head and said, "Li Caishen? Where did you see that? ”

You Lao Niang said happily: "It's not wrong, it's Li Caishen." If you want to say that you have to listen to your mother, let's move here this time! ”

You Lao Niang has seen a lot, and she is used to seeing sweet words in front of men, and she abandons them like shoe. For she does not believe in affection or empty promises, but only in the real and visible benefits.

The daughter of the first husband, You Shi, married Ning Guofu to do the continuation, and You Lao Niang consciously took a big advantage, because she planned to let the second sister and the third sister also marry in, regardless of whether she was a concubine or a continuation, in short, next to the nobles, her own family was rich.

Her family was originally in the outer city, but as soon as she entered the small door, You Lao Niang had ordinary contacts with people, which inevitably made people underestimate. Because of this, she had the idea of changing the house, but she didn't have any money, so she thought about it, so she simply rented the mansion in the inner city and rented the small mansion in the outer city, so that it was enough to fill only a few dozen taels of silver per year.

However, the house in the outer city will not be rented out for a while, and You Lao Niang was a little worried before, but now she saw that Li Caishen was next door, and she was immediately satisfied.

That's Li Caishen, how much more than one million dollars? Not to mention that the previous time was a second-class baron. In addition, he is still young, and his two daughters are like flowers, so he can't do the main room, and he is a partial room...... Even if it's an outer room, can this be shortened in the future?

Because it was You Lao Niang, she said happily: "Isn't this opportunity coming?" You sisters are careful, if you really get married to Li Caishen, then this life will be fine! ”

The second sister was thoughtful, but the third sister said disdainfully: "Mother has a good calculation, but Li Caishen looks down on our sisters." Last time in Huifang Garden, our sisters talked kindly, but Li Caishen avoided it like a snake and scorpion, and left with a few words. ”

You Lao Niang scolded: "You are like this, and men are also like you, it's strange that people are happy." After a pause, he looked at the second sister and said: "The second sister is different, sit there and look at it quietly, and then go back and pass on some means to you, Baozhun Er is fascinated by the god of Li Cai." ”

The second sister blushed and said, "What did my mother say?" ”

You Lao Niang said disappreciably: "What are you ashamed of? It's not that I really look down on the Zhang family, and I can't say that the second sister will marry when the time comes. ”

Second Sister You has been to Ningguo Mansion with You Lao Niang a few times, and has seen the wealth of Ning Guofu, where is she willing to marry the son of a Zhuangtou? Not to mention that now the Zhang family has a lawsuit and has already lost, and the two have not been in contact for more than ten years.

The second sister said, "What are you doing about this?" ”

The third sister suddenly said: "Second sister, now that they have become neighbors, the two families are rarely allowed to move. In a few days, it will be the birth of the mother, and the left and right will have to do a big job, so why not take the opportunity to invite Li Caishen. ”

The second sister said, "Where is he willing to come?" ”

"If you can't come, you haven't invited you, how do you know that people won't come?"

The second sister was silent, and the third sister said again: "I just picked up the paper kite, this is the northwest wind, we put the paper kite, broke the thread, and fell in Li Caishen's house, isn't there a reason?" ”

You Lao Niang praised on the side: "This method is ingenious. ”

Second Sister You was moved, and when the third sister saw this, she immediately pulled her out.

said that Li Weijian was so busy these days that his feet didn't touch the ground. The charter of the whole training was listed, and the Shenwu general Feng Tang was invited to speak, with his prestige, he could be regarded as able to suppress those arrogant soldiers; In addition, most of the daily scenes Li Weijian is used to test the Dongfeng rocket.

Fortunately, in the past few days, he found a few practical scholars to help record the data obtained from the test, and Li Weijian was able to relax.

After entering the inner house and taking off her outer clothes, Qingwen folded her clothes again and again and said, "Fourth master, a new family lives in the Xue family's house. ”

Li Weijian said happily: "It seems that Xue Wenlong was scared away by us." ”

Qingwen said angrily: "What about it, the powder magazine exploded like that, right?" If I were him, I would have run faster than him. ”

Either way, this time it's a peace of mind. At this time, a maid came to report: "Miss Qingwen, two girls came outside, saying that they were neighbors in the west and accidentally dropped the paper kite in the garden." ”

can ask Liu Xianglian to play Xiaosheng, and is also known as You Lao'an, which shows that You Lao'an is a six-grade official. The combination of the two is a typical rich and pretty widow with a poor official, which extends why You Lao Niang always goes to Ningguo Mansion to take advantage.

The second one was a little later, probably at night
