Li Weijian and Yan Chengzhang, the old and the young, talked very happily, knowing that Li Weijian came back here for the first time, Yan Chengzhang could briefly talk about the rules of the call.

Waiting for the meeting, also known as Qi, is divided into two shifts. The first class is the official of the ordinary officials who report on their work, and the officials of the first class in Beijing are called, and the sages are probably chatting about family life, asking about local customs, and sending away after some encouragement; The other class is Li Weijian, who either returns from an errand, or has something to ask for.

The two were divided into two places to be seen, and the saints probably exchanged calls. However, the former are mostly in groups of three or five to enter the internal pilgrimage, and the latter is mostly reported individually.

As for how long to wait, it depends on the mood of the saint. If the saint was in a hurry, he said that he would not take advantage of the lunch break to call his courtiers to come in and meet him.

As soon as the words fell, he saw Dai Quan holding the Buddha dust into the inside, glanced at it, his eyes stopped on Li Weijian, and he leaned over with a smile and said, "Li Langzhong come with our family, the saint is waiting." ”

The three or four products in it glanced over, and their eyes were all envious. It's only noon, and I can't say that the saint will stay for dinner. How can such graces be compared?

Li Weijian immediately got up and slightly bowed his hand to the four sides, and Shi Shiran followed Dai Quan. After walking for a long time, he turned around a sandwich road and arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Dai Quan entered the house to make a report, and then led Li Weijian inside.

Li Weijian bowed his head and entered the inside, bowed and bowed: "Weichen Li Weijian, I have seen a saint!" ”

After a while, he heard the voice of Emperor Zhenghe from the throne: "Resurrection?" At this time, I was a little hungry, so I was resurrected and accompanied me to eat. Dai Quan, move him an embroidery pier. ”

"Wechen thanked the saint."

After a long pause again, Li Weijian stood up slightly straighter and raised his eyes to look. I saw a table in front of the throne, on which the dishes were spread, all kinds of dishes were prepared, and Emperor Zhenghe was sitting on it in a big red dragon robe, and there was a familiar figure standing on the side - it was Yuan Chun.

Dai Quan took matters into his own hands, moved the embroidery pier, and invited with a smile: "Li Langzhong, please sit down." ”

Li Weijian thanked him, and then slowly sat down. With such an honor, Li Weijian was only ordinary in his heart, pretending to be flattered on his face, and he looked helpless.

Emperor Zhenghe glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary family banquet, you don't need to be so restrained when you come back to life." ”

"Yes."

While speaking, Emperor Zhenghe personally prepared dishes for Li Weijian, Li Weijian observed his words, and when Emperor Zhenghe moved his chopsticks, he tasted it carefully.

I don't know what kind of meat it is, so let's eat it...... That's it.

Emperor Zhenghe beckoned: "Yuan Chun, you also sit." ”

Yuan Chun, who was standing, responded with a blessing, and then sat down next to the embroidery pier. Glimpsing Li Weijian chewing carefully, Emperor Zhenghe smiled and said, "It's not delicious, right?" ”

"Huh? We-Chen......"

"Don't coax me."

Well, let's be honest.

Li Weijian said: "Xu is a little cold, this meat has a fishy smell." ”

Zhenghe Dile said: "The palace is full of warm dishes, where is the small stove freshly made delicious?" Let's make do with it, I've been eating it for eleven years. I just hope that the law will be changed in the future, and then the Dzungar thieves will be destroyed, and I will take a walk around and taste the Confucian family banquet that my father was amazed by. ”

Li Weijian said cautiously: "Chen Shoufu has worked hard, last year he first rectified the rule of officials, and this year he issued a new law, and I expect that there will be success in three or two years." As for Dzungaria, there is nothing to worry about because of ringworm and scabies. ”

"What did you say? Don't coax me. ”

Tsk, this emperor is really hard to coax.

Li Weijian raised his head and said sincerely: "Sage, Weichen has never lied." How many people are there in Dzungaria? How many dings do I have? The mistake is not that the road is far away, and Dzungaria has long been crushed by my Dashun. ”

"Haha, good! Young people, you should have this kind of sharpness! After a pause, he said: "Fusheng has traveled thousands of miles back and forth this time, went to Guangzhou and Jiangnan, and returned to Beijing, do you have any insights?" ”

"Back to the saint, Weichen passed through Tongzhou and met the same official inspection, a person directly under the government, named Li Dingye. He was the first to take four people to Guangnan County, which took two and a half months and 75 taels of silver before he could take office; This time I returned, took my family with my mouth, took a boat all the way, and spent 660 taels to get to the left of Beijing. ”

Emperor Zhenghe sighed: "My Dashun has a vast territory, and it takes time and effort to travel between the north and the south. ”

I didn't think about it, but Li Weijian said: "Eh...... Weichen thinks that this is the reason why my Dashun transportation is inconvenient. ”

"Huh? What are the insights into resurrection? ”

"The traffic is smooth, and the traffic is fast. Li Dingye said, the southwest is vast, the mountains and rivers are continuous, the two villages are separated by only ten miles, but it takes half a day to walk. Wechen thought that this was an inconvenience on the road. If you build a bridge in the two villages, wouldn't it be convenient? ”

After a pause, he added: "Besides, the inland river boat is no more than 300 miles a day, which is too slow. Wechen thought that if the power of the boat was improved, it should be much faster. ”

"Hmm-" Although Emperor Zhenghe admired practical learning, his practical attainments were only slightly stronger than those of King Zhongyong. Its original intention was just to follow Wang Anshi's old example and promote new learning to change the law. To put it bluntly, Li Weijian's words touched the blind spot of the sage's knowledge.

Li Weijian knew this, but still said: "Sage, Weichen previously built a steam engine, which can be comparable to the power of twenty donkeys. ”

"Puff...... "Emperor Zhenghe couldn't help it, and Yuan Chun on the side couldn't help but smile." Resurrection, you donkey...... It's too ugly, why don't you change it to a nice one? ”

"Huh? Do you want to ask the saint to give him a name? ”

Emperor Zhenghe hurriedly shook his head: "It's not good for me to name me indiscriminately, let's go back and figure it out for myself." ”

"Oh, sage, what Weichen means is that since the steam engine is worth twenty donkeys, if it is on a boat, it is impossible to say that this inland river boat will not need a boatman or a slender man to support the boat and pull the fiber, but it will cost some coal, not to mention traveling thousands of miles a day, there will always be five hundred miles, right?"

Emperor Zhenghe thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, it's interesting, Fusheng continued." ”

"Yes. Weichen thought, this boat can be equipped with a steam engine, can it be installed on that set of cars? If it can be loaded on the set of cars, will it be possible to lose more coal and save the grain and grass for livestock to be hoarded in Xining this time? ”

"Makes sense." Emperor Zhenghe cheered up: "It is no wonder that the attainments of resurrection are highly respected, if such a tool is really made, why should I be afraid of the Dzungar thieves when the time comes?" Originally, I still wanted to be able to do such a thing as resurrection, but if I was transferred to the Ministry of Industry for a few years, I would be able to use it in the future. Now it seems that it is better to stay in the inner house first, and it is better to make the best use of their talents. ”

Li Weijian was suddenly afraid. Go to the Ministry of Works? What are you kidding, this is changing the law, he doesn't want to be with the new party, let alone be suppressed by the new party, so he still stays in the inner mansion and is comfortable.

"Thank you, saint, for your understanding."

Emperor Zhenghe said with a smile: "It's just a matter of resurrection, and now you have plenty of money, haha, it's still the work of resurrection." ”

"Wechen just did his duty."

"That's right, duty, heh, I know my duty at such an age when I am resurrected, but I don't know what my duty is."

Li Weijian hurriedly bowed his hand and humbled a few words.

After eating the beard, Emperor Zhenghe asked about the scenery in Jiangnan again, Li Weijian picked up what he knew and said it truthfully, and Emperor Zhenghe asked about Lin Ruhai.

Li Weijian said the truth, which caused Emperor Zhenghe to frown and sigh, and said "It's a pity".

is a character in the entrainment, and it is scheduled to be of great use in the future, but it is difficult to get up, and he is going to die when he sees it.

Later, after lunch, Emperor Zhenghe said: "I have made a great contribution to resurrection, and I should have rewarded it sparingly. But the Zhongyong King said that the resurrection was too weak and the reward was too much, but he was afraid of attracting the eyes of others. After a slight pause, he added: "I will never forget this feat." Leave it until the next day is older, and then reward it together. ”

Li Weijian hurriedly thanked him, and then hesitated.

Emperor Zhenghe said: "Do you have something to say about resurrection?" ”

"Back to the saint, Weichen...... That Qinghai—"

Emperor Zhenghe's face suddenly changed: "Nonsense, is it child's play that the two armies are fighting?" Everything has gone smoothly for more than a year since his resurrection, I'm afraid that he is arrogant, do you really think that you are a general? ”

Li Weijian sneered: "Sage, Weichen isn't thinking about mixing military merits to be promoted to a knighthood." ”

Emperor Zhenghe was dumbfounded, good guy, you Li Fusheng is really straightforward!

With a little luck, thinking of Li Weijian's exploits, the second-class man was indeed unworthy, so Emperor Zhenghe pulled his face and said, "King Zhongyong and I have already spoken...... Well, after a while, I will find an opportunity to give you an errand as a counselor, supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and with this merit, you will always be promoted to Bo. ”

Li Weijian was suddenly overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the sage's fulfillment." ”

No matter how whimsical and steady, he is always a fifteen or sixteen young man, so stubborn and knighted, is it not the heart of a teenager? Emperor Zhenghe couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Full? When you have eaten enough, go back, and let you rest for a while. ”

"Wechen thanked the saint!"

……………………………………………………

was sent out of the imperial city by Xiaohuangmen, Li Weijian was worried, it seems that he will not be able to catch up with this battle of Qinghai. How many soldiers can I bring with me when I supervise the transportation of grain and grass? I'm afraid that a thousand soldiers and horses will reach the sky. Such a small number of people are not enough to break the game. I only hope that with the blessing of new weapons, the Dashun army can be smoother, and it can maintain an invincible and undefeated situation.

As soon as he walked to his carriage, a servant trotted forward and respectfully handed over the name post, but it was Yin Yan Chengzhang of Shuntian Mansion who invited Li Weijian to go to the mansion empty.

Li Weijian thought about it, Yan Chengzhang had the intention of making friends before, and he only had a good relationship before, but now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that he has something to ask for.

Yan Chengzhang is sixty years old, but he is afraid that he will have to become a master after a few years, and he is not afraid of provoking the saint's heart if he makes friends, Li Weijian thought about visiting him in two days to see what Yan Chengzhang wanted.

got into the carriage, the Ding brothers opened the way, and the carriage and horses returned to their homes. Before he arrived at the mansion, he was blocked by Cao Yunsheng and other owners.

These Jin merchants and Hui merchants are the most well-informed, and when they learned that Li Weijian was summoned by the sage, they turned their heads and came to the banquet. The cement affairs of Xishan Island aroused the envy of Cao Yunsheng and others, and they complained from time to time during the banquet, saying that Li Weijian cheapened the Jiangnan gentry.

Li Weijian knew that the complaints of this group of Jin merchants and Hui businessmen were false, and everyone knew that if this cement business wanted to be run in Jiangnan, it was necessary for the Jiangnan gentry to agree, and where would the Jin merchants and Hui merchants account for the majority of the shares?

They complained that they were just urging Li Weijian to open up new investment channels.

Because it was Li Weijian, he smiled and said: "The cement recipe is not very unusual, I will write it out later, if you are interested, you can find a place to set up a factory." However, the north is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, and there are very few need to dredge the river and build stone ponds, but it is extremely convenient to build roads, build cities, and build bridges with cement, and it is expected that there will always be some benefits. ”

Cao Yunsheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Eh, it's not good to take advantage of Lord Li for nothing, you are in charge, this is a prescription, how much let a few shares come out." ”

The voice fell, and immediately attracted a lot of people to echo it. Li Caishen can't look down on this little money, but these businessmen can't be without eyesight. In this way, he can come and go often, and in the future, Li Caishen will think about the big guy if he has a good livelihood.

Li Weijian had lunch with Emperor Zhenghe at noon, because he only used a little food at the banquet, and drank only a few glasses of wine with everyone.

The Jin merchants and Hui merchants were not for the banquet, because Cao Yunsheng ordered people to remove the banquet and talk about the steam engine factory instead.

"Lord Li, now that the factory orders are scheduled for the first month, they are wondering, is it time to expand production?"

Another Hui merchant said with a smile: "Lord Li doesn't know, the day before yesterday, a Jiangnan gentry came to Cao Lao and bluntly said that he would order two hundred machines. Cao Lao only said that the schedule was full, but that person thought that Cao Lao wanted to increase the price, so he also specially asked Lord Zhao of the Inner Mansion to talk about it. ”

Cao Yunsheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I see that this factory has to expand production quickly, and if it drags on, the order will be eaten by the Armament Institute." ”

Since last year, the Armament Institute has been running at full strength to build armor, and now the army is open, and the armor is complete, so it is leisure. When he turned his head and saw that the steam engine was selling well, he naturally built a steam engine.

Li Weijian said: "This steam engine is a new thing, and the Armament Institute is not specially made for this, so how many orders can he eat if he eats it?" The expansion of production is to be expanded, and in this southward diagram, I designed a draft of a steam engine, which is only stronger than the previous one. ”

Someone said: "Lord Li, this iron material is not good, I don't know if Lord Li can go through the inner mansion?" Otherwise, it's really a good woman, and it's hard to cook without rice. ”

"yes, yes, iron is not easy to buy now."

Li Weijian bowed his head and said: "It's okay, when I have to go to Zunhua on time, I will ensure that this matter is solved." ”

He made metallurgical equipment and knew some iron-smelting technology. The others didn't dare to say that they could change the short and fat blast furnace of Dashun now.

After the banquet, Li Weijian was interested, and simply went to the factory in the outer city to take a look. The machinery built earlier has left the interface to connect to the transmission belt, and now it is driven by a steam engine, and the efficiency is far beyond manpower. The owners are all calculating, although they have spent some money to buy coal, but the labor cost saved far exceeds that of coal.

……………………………………………………

In the turn of the day, Li Weijian practiced a little early in the morning, and wanted to rest a little, and walked around with Fu Qiufang in the side garden, and grass grew in his heart.

This person is used to being busy, and he is a little uncomfortable when he suddenly has leisure time. Because he simply went into the study to write and paint, and when it was close to noon, Bitong came in to report that there was a guest outside, and his aunt Fu Qiufang had already greeted him.

Coming to the guests? didn't call Li Weijian, only Fu Qiufang greeted him out, and it was expected that Wang Xifeng would come.

Li Weijian put down the pencil and got up to walk to the courtyard, when he heard laughter and laughter coming from afar, and then saw a group of warblers and warblers Yanyan enter the main courtyard.

"The second sister-in-law is here? Why don't you send someone to inform me in advance, and I'll welcome you. ”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Brother Jian said this, I don't know how many times I have been to this house, if you want me to say, Qiu Fang is redundant, and it is a hot day, just send a steward to welcome you." ”

Fu Qiufang hurriedly smiled and said, "Second grandmother's words-"

"Huh? How did she become a second grandmother again? ”

Fu Qiufang changed her words and said: "The second sister-in-law is such a distinguished guest, where can I send someone to welcome me at will?" That is, the master has never married, otherwise he will always have to be the wife of the family to greet him. ”

"Giggles, my sister is now in charge of the house, and the thrifty brother knows the cold and the hot, if you want me to say, even if you give it to a housewife, you won't change it."

After some gossip, Li Weijian led Wang Xifeng into the main room first. knew that Wang Xifeng came to make a living for the warm shed this time, because Li Weijian did not shy away from it.

After the maid served the refreshments, Wang Xifeng said directly: "Brother Jian also knows what I am doing this time, if that recipe falls into the hands of the eldest master, it will be spread everywhere when I turn around...... Brother Jian also knows that your second brother and I are not rich, and all this money was made up by pawning the dowry. Brother Jian doesn't care about such a little money, but I care about you and your second brother, so you always have to let me get back to my roots. ”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry. ”

Wang Xifeng said: "That day, I heard Brother Jian say that there is another way, I don't know what kind of method it is? ”

Li Weijian groaned: "The second sister-in-law knows that the most profitable thing in the world is to make a living alone. ”

Wang Xifeng shook his head again and again: "That's exactly the truth." Brother Jian's greenhouse is kept for his own food, and your second brother and I think that there is no one next to the Beijing Division, so I want to do this greenhouse. It's good now, I can't tell when it will be done. ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "Except for this unique livelihood, the rest of the livelihood is mostly big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating dried shrimp." ”

Wang Xifeng is already smart, faintly aware, but not sure. Because the fox asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

"This greenhouse is built a lot, built big, and then uses boilers for central heating, and the cost of coal will naturally be saved. In this way, won't our costs be reduced? Others sell one or two pieces of silver to get back the cost, we have eight hundred dollars to earn, heh, the cost of the greenhouse is not low, and how many can be operating at a loss? ”

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said with a bitter face: "I know what Brother Jian means, but it's just ......."

Just what? It's just that the money doesn't come together. Wang Xifeng can be said to have smashed the pot and sold iron this time, where can he still draw out the money and continue to smash it into the greenhouse?

Wang Xifeng couldn't say these words, because his phoenix eyes turned, and he seemed to glance at Fu Qiufang on the side for help. Unexpectedly, before Fu Qiufang could speak, Li Weijian smiled and said: "I know the difficulties of the second sister-in-law, not to mention the others, just because of the affection between Qiufang and the second sister-in-law, how can I make the second sister-in-law embarrassed?" ”

"Eh, what kind of charter is that frugal brother?"

Li Weijian thought about it and said: "I don't think it's better to take advantage of the early month and smash another 100,000 taels, or don't do it, or make the biggest greenhouse if you want to do it." I came out of the 100,000 taels first, and we still count it as a joint stock, and the second sister-in-law will make money in the future. ”

The words fell, but Wang Xifeng frowned and didn't say anything for a while. 100,000 taels, half of it is 50,000 taels! Wang Xifeng's dowry is only 30,000 taels of silver! Zai Rongguo Mansion is in charge, and the silver money that passes through every month is only a few thousand taels of silver, how can Wang Xifeng ever see such a lot of silver?

The 50,000 taels of silver were smashed down, and Wang Xifeng's heart trembled suddenly, for fear that the livelihood of this warm shed would be smashed and he would not be able to pay off the money. On second thought, Brother Thrifty is the God of Wealth! The thrifty brothers are optimistic about this greenhouse for a living, but where will they lose money?

She was already a person who could afford to put it down, because she was relieved, and said with a smile: "Brother Frugal, I am ashamed to accept it with your second brother!" Brother Jian, don't worry, if I lose, I will pawn the dowry and return the money. ”

Li Weijian smiled and waved his hand, and Fu Qiufang smiled: "The second sister-in-law's words are over." Not to mention the ginseng fruit, just the green leafy vegetables in the winter are lovely, and the Jingshi Xun is gathered, as long as the price is right, this fruit and vegetable will not worry about sales. If it's not good, the old man dredged it, and he couldn't say that he could still sell it into the inner house. ”

Wang Xifeng suddenly smiled and said: "Yo, look at me, I almost forgot that Brother Jian is the Langzhong of the Inner Palace, who dares not to give face to Brother Jian?" In this way, isn't it a sure win? ”

Li Weijian said: "I don't dare to boast about how much I earn, but it's true that I don't lose money." ”

With these words, Wang Xifeng suddenly had confidence. Later, Wang Xifeng's witty words were heard in the hall, which caused several people to laugh and laugh.

Wang Xifeng is a female dependent, Li Weijian is not good to accompany for a long time, and when he saw noon, he ordered Qianxue to have lunch. Wang Xifeng got up and said goodbye at this time.

Fu Qiufang kept a few words, and Wang Xifeng said: "It is said that the thrifty brothers set up a banquet, and I can't refuse, but this time I came out by stealing the air." It's not the big man...... In short, we often come and go, not bad this time. When I come back to Rongguo Mansion, I will definitely set up a banquet to entertain my sister. ”

Seeing her say this, Li Weijian and Fu Qiufang had no choice but to give her gifts out of the house.

When Wang Xifeng's frame was far away, Li Weijian and Fu Qiufang returned to the inner house in parallel, and on the way, Fu Qiufang couldn't help but say: "Master, this is 100,000 taels." ”

Fu Qiufang was very thoughtful, and always felt that the lover around her would not take out 100,000 taels for nothing, as if there was some plan in his heart, but he couldn't think of it.

But seeing that Li Weijian didn't care about it, he smiled: "But it's just 100,000 taels, believe it or not, I shouted, and someone will give 100,000 taels immediately?" ”

Fu Qiufang said angrily: "Believe, the master is the God of Wealth." ”

"Heh," Li Weijian said as he walked: "The greenhouse is indeed a good livelihood, millions of people in Beijing, officials and nobles are not counted, and how many people have eaten green leafy vegetables in winter?" But as long as the price is right, this out-of-season fruit and vegetable will not worry about sales. Don't look at the 100,000 taels now, I can't say that in a few years, even a million taels can be earned. ”

After a pause, without waiting for Fu Qiufang's words, he said again: "That day, I will be with you thoroughly, I am the only one left in this room, and I will always spread the branches." Although Qiu Fang is only a concubine, she can't give a title, so she can share some profits in the family business. I can't let my Li Weijian's children suffer hardship and poverty. ”

Fu Qiufang suddenly ironed in her heart and said, "The old man originally planned to do so. ”

For a while, she forgot to ask, since she was making money, why did she have to share so many shares with Wang Xifeng?

At this time, I heard Li Weijian say: "How? If you are optimistic about this livelihood, take care of it, and it will be given to you the next day. ”

Fu Qiufang was just a small jasper earlier, and when she entered the door of the Li family, her vision was raised. Every day, what I hear about is a big deal of tens of millions of taels of silver, but now how can I look down on the greenhouse that has been smashed into hundreds of thousands of taels? Because it was so, he said: "The concubine still has to take care of the factory, and it is really not empty, so why don't you let the master take care of it." ”

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Cheng, but don't regret it." ”

Fu Qiufang saw that she had entered the inner house, and only thought of Xia to follow, so she was arbitrary, leaned over and grabbed Li Weijian's arm, and said halfway down: "What do you regret about the concubine?" In the future, what the master gives, the concubine will take. ”

Li Weijian couldn't help but shake his heart, such a smart and well-behaved woman, which man doesn't love it?

In the next two days, Li Weijian rested for a while, and only wrote and painted in the study every day, and the rest of the scene was either accompanied by Fu Qiufang, or wandered around with red jade, and the comfort and charm in the interior were not mentioned.

On the third day, Li Weijian couldn't hold back any longer. Reading the newspaper in the morning, I saw that the responsibility of his mentor Yan Xiyao was decided, and he was demoted to Langzhong, confiscated the stolen silver, and fined 8,000 taels of silver.

Li Weijian, who was going to the factory, hurriedly went to Yan's house to ask, but unexpectedly came to the will before he went out. This time, it was the little Yellow Gate Xia eunuch who passed the message.

Li Weijian hurriedly set up an incense case to welcome the holy decree, fortunately, he had experienced it at home before, but this time he was busy but not chaotic. The eunuch of Naxia recited the holy decree in a downturn, and Li Weijian made meritorious contributions to the cane sugar, and the knight was promoted to a first-class male, and his father was posthumously named the second-grade good doctor, and his mother was the second-grade lady.

In addition, there are 1,000 pieces of money, 20 pieces of brocade, 20 pieces of silk yarn, 20 pieces of Shaanxi tribute melons, 20 pounds of fresh lychees from Guangzhou, 20 pounds of Wenshui grapes, 10 smoked pigs, 20 sheep to dry, a carriage and 4 horses.

Li Weijian couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, so the sugar service was given a first-class title? In the coming days, I am afraid that the cane sugar service will be more profitable than the Jingshi water service.

It's just a matter of chasing the seal, and the rest ...... He sent the mansion to have enough food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

In any case, a saint's reward is always a good thing. Li Weijian accepted the decree in a proper manner, and first asked Wu Haiping to entertain the eunuch Xia who passed the decree, and he hurriedly went to the family temple to worship the holy decree, and burned three incense sticks before turning back.

There is no way, the Li family is himself, and the rest are either concubines or maids, and they are not qualified to enter the family temple. Li Weijian is a human being in two lives, and he doesn't care much about this, but he doesn't break the rules. Otherwise, it will be discredited.

Turning his head and counting Eunuch Xia's two hundred taels of silver, Eunuch Xia congratulated him with a smile, and then left briskly.

Parents posthumously sealed, knighted to a higher level, and gave a lot of goods, this is a great joy! The whole house was full of joy, and even Fu Qiufang, who had always been in a stable mood, was also slightly excited, and immediately put a month's reward on it.

Turning his head and feasting on relatives and friends...... Li Weijian said that he was persuaded to do so. It is better to entertain guests and friends sooner rather than later, he is too young, and such a flamboyance is easy to arouse people's jealousy.

The day dragged on, and when the housework was settled, Li Weijian rushed to Yan's mansion, but he didn't want to. After looking for Yan Fengzhen and asking, I found out that the teacher Yan Xiyao will enter the palace to see His Majesty!

I had already told my teacher Yan Xiyao before, Li Weijian secretly thought to himself, I was afraid that this errand of the Qin mission was finalized, and now that I entered the palace to meet him, it must be the right time for Emperor Zhenghe to teach him face-to-face, and instructed him to go south to Yangzhou this time to handle the case.

Li Weijian was about to leave, but Yan Fengzhen scratched his head and said: "Resurrection, on the sixth day of the next month, remember to come and be a concubine." ”

"Huh? Brother Jingwen, are you too eager? ”

Yan Fengzhen said: "The three media and six hires are almost gone, so I will greet them." My father is about to go south, and I always have to get married before my father leaves. ”

Li Weijian arched his hand and smiled: "So, congratulations to Brother Jingwen." I'll have to think about this gift in the future. ”

Yan Fengzhen suddenly became interested: "Resurrection, could it be that he came up with something mechanical?" ”

Li Weijian blinked, and then smiled evilly: "Brother Jingwen, don't ask, you will know when you see it." ”

Yan Fengzhen was familiar with Li Weijian's temperament, and suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly said: "Resurrection, don't send something strange." If I lose face in front of my beloved mother, I will have your good son when I look back! ”

"Okay, good, Brother Jingwen actually misses me like this, my friends are gone, say goodbye!"

Where would Yan Fengzhen take it seriously, just chased out the door and told him again and again, so he almost begged.

On this day, Li Weijian first went to the manufacturing office, picked and chose for a long time before choosing a congratulatory gift, turned around and went to the factory again, gathered several masters, and laid out the drawings to tell the structure of the new steam engine in detail.

In fact, there is nothing innovative about this steam engine, but the boiler and cylinder are larger, compared with the previous one, this steam engine at least more than 90 horsepower under seven standard pressures. If you expand it a little more, doubling the power is not a problem.

I still remember that the first train was only 170 horsepower, Li Weijian thought to himself, to iterate again, to build a steam engine of 200 horsepower, at least a 0-4-0 narrow-gauge train, right?

When she returned home on this day, she had just changed her clothes, and Qian Xue came to report: "Master, the eldest lord of Rongguo Mansion sent someone to invite him, please have a free trip." ”

Jia Yu invited? I don't know if I know, this time I must be running for the greenhouse. has made up his mind to hurt people, where does Li Weijian care about the recipe of the greenhouse?

sent Qian Xue to reply at the moment, only to say that she would arrive tomorrow. Then he returned to the study, picked up the pen and put down the ink, and wrote out the general points of the greenhouse in a moment.

After writing, Li Weijian thought about it for a while, thinking about how could he let Jia Yu take advantage of it? After thinking about it for a while, he called Hongyu and asked, "Are those two vegetable farmers dishonest?" ”

Hongyu said: "The older one is okay, and the younger one doesn't talk much in private." The fault is not that the employment contract is still there, and I am afraid that I will suffer a lawsuit, but I am afraid that this will run away a long time ago. ”

Li Weijian said happily: "Then follow his wishes, find a mistake or omission, and send him away." ”

"Huh?" Hongyu wondered in her heart, wondering if it was sent out, wouldn't the recipe for the greenhouse spread out? After thinking about it, how could the fourth master not know such a simple truth? expected that there must be a deep meaning in it, and then bowed his head: "Okay, it just so happened that this person was drunk early in the morning, so I'm going to send him away!" ”
