When Li Jingxuan left, Li Zhi put some refreshments prepared by the queen into the giant bear's mouth one by one. When the last piece of date cake was swallowed by the giant bear, Li Zhi wiped the bear's mouth with a handkerchief, and After checking it, he saw that there was no dim sum left on the giant bear's mouth or stomach, so he said to Ruichun, "Isn't there any big discovery about that piece of wood in Chang'an?"
Rui Chun hurriedly said: "I report to Your Majesty, I found many, but I really didn't find any big ones."
Li Zhidao: "Yunchu, Wenrou, will the three of Di Renjie still joke about my affairs behind their backs?"
Rui Chun said: "According to Mu Mu's report, the last time Yun Chu was talking about His Majesty, he was talking about the intercourse between His Majesty and the Empress, who gets in and who gets out."
Li Zhi clicked his mouth and said: "I am below, so I don't talk about comfort, it saves effort."
Ruichun continued: "Renrou said the same thing, only Di Renjie seems not interested in this topic."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "It's okay, they are just three cowards, they only dare to gossip behind their backs, and they don't have the guts to say it in front of me.
Ask Mu Mu, where did Yun Chu get the six thousand catties of gunpowder, and why he didn't play it. "
Ruichun smiled wryly and said, "The six thousand catties of gunpowder came from Baiqisi. From receiving to transporting to use, there is full supervision to ensure that the six thousand catties of gunpowder are all used to open mountains and rocks."
Li Zhi sneered and said, "How much benefit did Zuo Chun get?"
Ruichun said: "Chang'an No. [-] and No. [-] Cotton Mills, which Baiqisi belongs to, have a serious backlog of goods, not only cannot effectively subsidize Baiqisi, but also need Baiqisi's reverse subsidies.
Especially three years ago, the Ministry of War said that firstly, the various military products produced by the No. [-] Cotton Mill were of high quality and the price was high. After receiving the military products, various armies complained. Although they did not dare to completely cut off the acceptance, they cut off a large number of orders , changed to purchasing from the private sector, which made the No. [-] and No. [-] Cotton Mills completely become the burden of Baiqisi from the chicken that lays golden eggs, causing Changan Baiqisi to make ends meet, and even affected the development, training, and training of secret agents. layout.
At that time, the cotton spinning factory affiliated to Wannian County invented a new kind of fabric. When weaving, a certain amount of mulberry silk and fine jute were added to the warp and latitude lines. The woven fabric was strong, durable, and lighter than pure cotton ...so, so..."
Seeing Ruichun's hesitant speech, Li Zhi sighed, "So, for this secret recipe, Zuo Chun paid six thousand catties of gunpowder?
Or did he come to the door and beg for the two hundred and fifty? "
Ruichun bowed his head and remained silent.
Li Zhi raised his head and thought for a moment about Yunchu's disgusting look when he faced Zuo Chunqiu's door, and couldn't help sighing again: "Please, is it more difficult for him to accept than begging Yunchu? "
Ruichun whispered: "Within five years, only the No. [-] and No. [-] cotton mills can produce this new type of fabric..."
Li Zhi thought for a while and said to Ruichun: "When you were doing this, didn't you ever think about why Yunchu would pay such a high price for a county magistrate who has a little bit of friendship with him? ?”
Ruichun knelt down on the ground with a thud, put his head on the ground and replied: "I found out afterwards that although this kind of cloth has many benefits, it is expensive. Because it is cotton cloth, noble people disdain to use it, and poor people can't afford it. There is no way to make money, and it is a money-losing product for them.
Liu Jiang, the county magistrate of Jinji County, begged Yunchu to help him apply for a batch of gunpowder from the imperial court because he wanted to dig a canal. , Baiqisi will receive it from the gunpowder workshop, and finally supervise the use, and receive as much as you use, to ensure that the gunpowder will not flow into private hands...
Even if it is Yunchu, if he wants to get six thousand catties of gunpowder, he still needs to submit a letter to the Ministry of Education, and His Majesty will approve it in the end. However, Jinji County is not under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, so it is impossible for the Ministry of Education to pass such a document. Not to mention sending the documents to His Majesty's desk...
Weichen heard from Mu Mu that Yunchu had clearly rejected Liu Jiang, the magistrate of Jinji County. As a result, at this time, the governor Zuo Chun came to Yunchu's door to discuss how to revive the No. [-] and No. [-] cotton mills... ...to give room for turning around things that had nowhere to go..."
Li Zhi squeezed the giant bear's ear and muttered to himself: "The new cotton cloth is sold among the people, and no one buys it, so it's just right to sell it to the army. Anyway, the army only wants good things, regardless of the price.
First, the Second Cotton Mill can also take advantage of the improvement in the quality of cotton cloth to increase the price of military products, and it can be brought back to life at once... The Gunpowder Division is under the supervision of Baiqi Division... as long as they are ordered to produce an additional [-] Then he supervised the county magistrate to use all the gunpowder on the construction site... In this way, the account of the gunpowder department was flat, and the extra gunpowder was completely used up... The two cotton mills were saved, and hundreds of The cavalier has money again, and the canal that the county magistrate wanted exploded... without anyone noticing it, it can kill multiple birds with one stone.
Only I, can I be regarded as the one who has truly become the kind of big injustice that Yunchu often talks about, right? "
Ruichun kowtowed like garlic. Zuo Chun didn't hide it from them when he did it back then. It was the unanimous opinion of the upper echelon of Baiqisi, because the whole thing had a perfect closed loop just like the emperor said. , exchange six thousand catties of worthless gunpowder for two chickens that lay golden eggs, no matter how appropriate...
Li Zhi stood up, raised his leg and kicked Ruichun on the head, saying: "Not allowed next time."
Ruichun climbed up gratefully, grinning his teeth, the pain in his back was unstoppable, not because of how hard Li Zhi kicked, but because the giant bear who followed Li Zhi also took the opportunity to slap him on the back. .
When Wu Mei came over, she found that Li Zhi and Ruichun were joking. Although Li Zhi was the only one who was happy, Ruichun's legs were still shaking when he was standing. However, in Wu Mei's opinion, as long as the emperor is happy, it means that The two were just talking and laughing.
Wu Mei first glanced at the empty dim sum plate on the table, and said with resentment: "Why did you feed the bear, and ruined my good intentions."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "It's not spoiled. I ate half of it, and the bear ate half. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ruichun."
Ruichun retreated behind the curtain expressionlessly, not ready to answer such a question that might cost him his life.
Wu Mei was noncommittal to Li Zhi's words, she came to the table and glanced at the brochure on it and asked, "What's wrong with Yunchu?"
Li Zhidao: "He doesn't want to go to Yanshi County to put down the rebellion. He thinks he used a sledgehammer to kill chickens, and Li Jingxuan is rushing to go. I will agree."
Wu Mei frowned and said: "Why are you still picking and choosing, and if you continue like this, be careful to raise an arrogant and domineering one."
Li Zhi laughed and said: "Seeing that he still has the ability to be arrogant and domineering, I will bear it for now.
However, Empress, Yunchu, Wenrou, and Di Renjie are very interested in the intercourse between you and me. After listening to Mu Mu's report, they are guessing whether you are superior or I am superior. What do you think? "
It's hard for Wu Mei to feel shy about this kind of thing, she casually said 'shameless', and said to Li Zhi: "Your daughter has started to staking land."
Li Zhi said without changing his face: "What is she going to do?"
While flipping through Li Jingxuan's melodies, Wu Mei said casually, "A money-grubbing princess taught by Yu Xiurong, she is going to lend loans to the farmers in Yanshi County, with very low interest rates, or even losses."
Li Zhi said: "Knock the bone and suck the marrow?"
Wu Mei shook her head and said: "Yu Xiurong still can't teach a money-greedy princess who sucks the people's blood, she just wants to lend money to the people, and then let the people use the money to buy seeds, piglets, chicks from her, The ducklings are preparing for the next year's spring plowing, and after the autumn harvest, the chickens and ducks will grow up before paying her back.
It sounds like a good conscience. "
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I never believe the conscience that merchants say, not a single word."
Wu Mei picked up a pen and wrote some well-proportioned words on a piece of paper, and then connected them with line segments, and showed them to Li Zhi when they were connected.
After reading the connection between these words, Li Zhi said, "Is An Ding making a big bet?"
Wu Mei sighed and said, "If An Ding planned it, I would praise you for being clever, but if it was planned by Yunchu, I would have to describe it with ulterior motives."
"Ruichun—" Li Zhi called out loudly.
Ruichun, who was hiding behind the curtain and rubbing her waist, immediately appeared in front of Li Zhi. Li Zhi took the paper written by the queen and showed Ruichun.
Ruichun said unhurriedly: "It's as hard as giving a stick of incense to a servant."
After finishing speaking, he hurried out. Following Ruichun's departure, a soldier as thick as a mountain rumbled into the hall.
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be Yunchu's handiwork, spending a lot of money to get a small profit is not something Yunchu is willing to do.
What did Yun Chu say back then—oh, heavy assets, yes, these three words, he is smart enough, and there are enough fools in this world, I don't think he would use such a stupid way to make money. "
Wu Mei said: "The village has been governed by squires and clans since ancient times, and now Li Si is involved, what does she want to do?
As for a little money, it's not a big deal. "
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "There are no squires in Yanshi County now, and the clan has almost been destroyed."
Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty is unwilling to think too badly of Yun Chu?"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "If he is really treacherous and loyal, I will be heartbroken."
Wu Mei sneered and said: "People are always changeable, and it is the normal state of life at this time and at that time. Yun Chu ten years ago, don't say that His Majesty likes it, I also feel that seeing him is like watching him." When it comes to sunshine, however, after more than ten years, it is impossible for every day to be sunny, and there will always be cloudy days.
If His Majesty doesn't believe it, just look at Ruichun's investigation to find out. "
