After Du Shan left, I thought about it for a while and ordered: "Let the clean room secretly investigate whether it is really as Du Shan said, don't make a noise first." ”

Meng He said yes.

The first scientific examination cannot afford to be lost, even if there are really so many filthy things as Du Shan said, you can't make a big deal before the first scientific examination, otherwise it will be me and the court who will lose face.

Back outside the palace, I glanced at Tian Xinze, and there was no nervous or panicked look on his face.

Didn't he know? I smiled slightly and encouraged: "The Linzi School Palace is much better than other school palaces, and I see that all of them are well-educated people, and you have made great contributions." ”

Tian Xinze's face was overjoyed, and he bowed down and said, "Where the minister's position is, Your Majesty Xie." ”

————

After leaving Linzi County, the convoy continued all the way to the west, without stopping at the halfway, and called the three county guards to the convoy when they were in the north, east and Hanoi counties, and reprimanded them.

It was already mid-July after Hanoi, and I originally wanted to go back to Xianyang directly, but I remembered the importance of Sam Tram County, so I stayed for a day.

After arriving in Sanchuan County, I ordered that Li You should not be tossed anymore, and still lived in the big tent, because there were too many officials involved in searching for mineral veins, and finally the place of discussion was chosen in the county guard's mansion.

“…… On the basis of last year, two new iron ore veins and one graphite ore vein were newly explored, and after discussing with the Jiangzuo Prefecture and the Iron Smelting Mansion, they believed that they could not mine for the time being, but only as a reserve, and the ore mined in the existing ore veins was enough to be used, and there was no need to occupy more manpower. ”

Li You explained in detail the mineral veins of Sanchuan County today, and now Taiyuan, Shangdang, Sanchuan, and Nanyang have formed a complete industry, and Li You's Sanchuan County is in the middle and has almost become a transit station, so he has a lot of things, and at the same time, he can govern Sanchuan County so well, I am also impressed by him.

Li Si looked at his eldest son with even more satisfaction in his eyes, in his opinion, Li You is the most like him, even stronger than him, he has become the right prime minister from a precarious ordinary person, the character created by the hardships cannot be changed, Li You is different, quite a gentleman and frank ancient style.

I was also very satisfied when I heard this, and nodded appreciatively: "You did a great job. When it comes to mining ore, you will be the master of the government, and the output will be controlled by them, and you will only be responsible for providing the ore. ”

Now that the iron-smelting industry has developed to a very large scale and formed a basically complete iron-smelting system, they have also explored many practical methods while absorbing my new knowledge.

For example, the Gongbu has not yet built large equipment, and the Iron Smelting Mansion has used the modified water wheel to crush large pieces of ore. It can be seen that the ancients were not stupider than modern people, but sometimes they were subject to the limitations of the times and the development of science and technology, and many things were unexpected.

As he was talking, a child's immature voice suddenly came from behind the main hall: "Grandpa! Grandfather! ”

I was curious: "Where did the gourd baby come from?" ”

Li You didn't understand what the gourd baby meant, he only heard the word "baby", and hurriedly got up and asked for guilt: "Please forgive your majesty, Xu is dog heard that the right prime minister is here and is making noise in the backyard, so the minister will go and drive him back to the backyard!" ”

I waved my hand and smiled, "It's okay, I'm done here, and I'll leave tomorrow." Lee Sang-ke can share the joy of family with his grandson, and he can return to the team tomorrow. ”

Li Si looked delighted, and hurriedly got up and thanked Li You together: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

I got up and smiled: "Grandparents are separated by a wall, if I don't let you meet, wouldn't it be too unkind." ”

Then he looked at Li Youdao and said, "Is the eldest princess in the mansion?" ”

Li You bowed and responded: "Back to Your Majesty, here." When the eldest princess heard that Her Majesty was here, she wanted to meet her together, but she was worried that she would miss political affairs and did not come to the front hall. ”

I waved my hand and said to the others, "Stand down." ”

After everyone left, I said to Li You: "Call the eldest princess and Ling Lang together, I haven't seen the third sister for a long time, and now that I'm here, I want to see you." ”

If Li Si returns to his hometown or dies, Li You may go further in the future, and at that time Yingliu A can become a means to contain him, I want to see the relationship between this third sister of Fusu and Li You, and what is the attitude towards the Ying family and me.

Li You said yes and immediately went to the backyard.

Not long after, Yingliu Ah took Li Chuan to the front hall. Yingliu Abi Yingtao is only one year younger, and she was only fifteen years old when she married Li You, so I have no impression of her, and it stands to reason that she should not remember my appearance. Today, although more than ten years have passed, her face is still like a girl, and there are almost no wrinkles on her forehead, and it seems that she and Li You are still in love.

Yingliu Ah smiled when she saw me, and took Li Chuan to bow and salute: "I've seen Your Majesty!" ”

I got up and walked up to the two of them, and said falsely: "Family, don't be polite." ”

The two got up, I glanced at Li Chuan, the kid was not thin, he looked like he was five or six years old, touched his head, and joked: "The kid is strong enough!" ”

Turning his head to Meng He, he said, "Bring the things." ”

Meng He came in with a brocade box, and when he opened it, there was an extremely exquisite fan and a rare piece of jade.

I pointed to two things and said, "This fan is a gold and silver tassel and gemstone fan from the Western Regions, and the fan surface is made of red sandalwood, with a layer of gold wire as thin as a cicada's wings. I heard the eldest sister say that the third sister always woke up in her sleep when she was a child, and I don't know if it is better now, red sandalwood can calm the nerves, and there is always no harm in staying by her side. As for this beautiful jade, it is also a tribute from the Western Regions, I don't know what the kid likes, you can find a craftsman to carve it yourself. ”

Yingliua didn't expect me to ask Yingtao about her past, and even prepared gifts in advance, feeling the warmth of her mother's family, the corners of her eyes were a little moist, and she bowed down and said, "Concubine Thank You, Your Majesty." Chuan'er, thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Li Chuan bowed in style, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

I nodded, this is a lot to do!

After the things were delivered, I also got the answer I wanted, and said with a chuckle: "Don't be polite to the family, if it's okay, often go back with Li You to have a look." I'm gone, you don't have to send it. ”

Several people hurriedly got up to send them off.

At the end of July, the tour was finally over, and I returned to Xianyang, and I was really physically and mentally exhausted after half a year of traveling, but the harvest met my expectations.

There was no chaos in Xianyang, and Feng Zheng had a report reporting on the situation in Xianyang almost every day.

After coming back, I dealt with the accumulation of things first, and then went to see Tao Yao and Li Shiyun. Because I expected that this road would be rushed, I didn't bring Taoyao.

Tao Yao has long been accustomed to life in the palace, and there is nothing to do. Li Shiyun gradually adapted to the identity of the queen, during which Liang called Li Shiyun to Wan'an Palace many times to chat, after her enlightenment, Li Shiyun finally had the rudiments of the temperament of the mother of a country, and I was not so restrained when I saw me, which is a good thing, and I don't have to worry about the minister's daughters if there is a palace banquet in the future.
