Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

The overjoyed County Magistrate Chen almost laughed out loud. They later reported the incident of rescuing the victims and were commended by His Majesty. Then His Majesty asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate money to them. As a result, after checking, hey?He had already written down his request for money, but the Ministry of Household Affairs kept insisting that he had no money. The relief for the victims was all paid out of their own pockets, as well as the money paid by the wealthy businessmen and gentry.

That's good. I heard that His Majesty was furious and scolded the people from the Ministry of Revenue. Although the resettlement of the victims had been solved, His Majesty still asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to them.

Why?Because County Magistrate Chen emptied the government office for the sake of justice, he couldn't even afford the monthly salary for the government officials. Shouldn't he make up for it?

Make up, make up, the people from the Ministry of Revenue immediately gave him the money, along with the reward from His Majesty, so he kicked it in his pocket to keep warm.

This time it was better, but if the iron holding him down was not given, he would just wait for these people to suffer misfortune.

"What are you enjoying?" Wen Xiuyi asked.

County Magistrate Chen whispered something into his ear. Wen Xiuyi stared in surprise. After a while, he said: "Then, they are going to be in trouble."

In fact, we can't blame the people in the Ministry of Revenue. The main reason is that since they were appointed by His Majesty to plant new grains, they have always asked for money from the Ministry of Revenue. Isn't this the same as reaching out to finance?What do those people do?They are guarding the national treasury, so of course they will not be allowed to make money so easily.

Although, it is true that they are not doing it for themselves, but they must be on guard against others, and they understand the adults in the household department.

Just thinking about the fact that someone here was deliberately stumbling for them and causing trouble for them, Wen Xiuyi felt that it would be good to make them unlucky. Anyway, it was not him who was scolded, it was none of his business.

Over there, Wen Yao has roughly found the Shanxi area based on Li Yi's description and directions.

"It should be in this area. The locals must know this thing. It should be easy to send people to find it." Wen Yao said to Li Yi.

Without further ado, Li Yi felt that this matter was urgent and nodded: "I will write to my father and uncle Huang. Do you have anything else to report together?"

Li Yi had decided to use eight hundred miles to send the letter back urgently. He had already sent the letter to the capital anyway, so he couldn't waste this trip.

Li Yi looked at County Magistrate Chen and Wen Xiuyi and asked the next sentence.

Wen Xiuyi thought that his rice had not yet yielded results, and now that his two daughters were sponsoring him, he was not short of money, so he looked at Magistrate Chen next to him and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you just say that something happened? "

Li Yi looked at Magistrate Chen.

Magistrate Chen's face changed instantly, and he was extremely aggrieved: "Your Majesty, it's hard to be a low-ranking official."

The corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched: "Master Chen, the situation is urgent." The voice said, just say it directly, don't waste time.

"Oh." County Magistrate Chen immediately put away his aggrieved face and said: "You have finished collecting all the iron in the Yamen warehouse. I have no inventory. I asked the Ministry of Revenue to ask for it. The Ministry of Revenue has no faith. This, the Crown Prince, is a lower official. It doesn’t matter, at worst it will suppress the city’s iron consumption, but it will delay the important matter of steelmaking... Hehe, you think so.”

Li Yi almost laughed out loud. They had been hanging out together for a long time. How could Li Yi not know what they were thinking.

"I know, I'll lend you Master Chen's study." Li Yi said with a smile.

County Magistrate Chen made a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty, please use it as you like. I will give you an inkstone."

After saying that, he started to inkstone. Li Yi sat down at the desk. Paper and pen were already laid out. He picked up the pen and started writing.

County Magistrate Chen peeked at the inkstone while he was doing it. The more he looked at it, the more he realized that speaking and complaining was also an art.

Look at the prince, he didn't say anything about the Ministry of Household not giving him anything, he just said that the amount of iron they used might affect the normal life of the people, and they should have solved it themselves and not disturb His Majesty, but they couldn't iron this thing. I dare not mine and purchase it privately, so I have no choice but to declare it according to the procedures.

What does it mean to follow the procedure? If you follow the procedure for less than a year and a half, don't even think about getting something in your hands. The emperor knows this better than anyone else.

Li Yi also specifically explained that they have already figured out how to make steel, and now they need a special thing to assist them. Only by finding this thing called coal can they make steel. The specific location is also given, and the rest is See why the emperor sent people to look for it.

After finishing the letter, Li Yi took it in his hand and blew the ink dry before asking Magistrate Chen to find an urgent envelope from [-] miles away and seal it with wax.

"I will send someone to the inn right now." County Magistrate Chen took the letter respectfully. The corners of his mouth were so raised that he couldn't hold it back, and he ran to find someone to deliver the letter.

Now that the letter has been sent, the rest can only wait.

As for Zhuoyi, there was no coal. He couldn't do anything, let alone steelmaking. He had no choice but to continue to help Wenyao and the others make sewing machines.

Hang Chi Hang Chi, the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

In just half a month, twenty more sewing machines were made for Wenyao's down factory, and as Zhuo Yi and several of his apprentices became more proficient, the quality of the sewing machines became better and better.

Just when Wen Yao was thinking about asking Zhuo Yi to study the sewing machine, Qiu Rongrong, who had disappeared for a while, appeared.

Not only did she come back by herself, but she also brought back a bunch of them.

Goose?

When Wen Yao saw the things in the big frame that were moved from the other carriage brought by Qiu Rongrong, she was shocked.

Not only was she shocked, she was so surprised that she almost bit her tongue.

The sound next to my ears is goose-goose-goose.

Qiu Rongrong saw her frozen in place and waved her hand in front of her: "Wake up."

Wen Yao turned his head to look at her blankly, pointed at the goose that was still being moved down from the carriage, and asked, "Sister Rong, are you going out to look for the goose?"

"Ah." Qiu Rongrong nodded, took out the picture Wen Yao gave her, then pointed at the geese that had been moved down and said, "I think these geese are similar to the ones you drew, so I asked people to draw each one." I bought a few and took a look at them, which one are they?"

Wen Yao twitched the corner of his mouth, went up to pull the goose cage, and asked: "Where did you get so many?"

"I'm back to Jiangnan." Qiu Rongrong's answer was a matter of course.

Wen Yao looked at her and gave a thumbs up.

She admires Qiu Rongrong's drive, which is the rhythm she plans to make her down jacket business bigger and stronger.

"Okay, don't worry about where I'm going. Take a look at these geese first. Which one is the one you mentioned?" Qiu Rongrong stepped forward and took Wenyao's arm, leading her to the goose's cage.

Wen Yao looked at the geese in the cage. To be honest, they all looked the same. She really couldn't see any difference. But if she looked carefully, she could see that the geese were of different varieties, with different coat colors and thickness of down. no the same.

The picture she drew for Qiu Rongrong before was obtained from information in space, and she didn't recognize the real thing.

As for duck down and goose down, goose down has better warmth retention, but goose down is not as productive as duck down. After all, ducks can grow up in two or three months, and big geese need to be raised for a long time.
