Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Cui Yueming had always looked down on the Cui family's side branches, after all, his own family was the orthodox one. However, after learning that Jia Siren was able to communicate with the Zhao family, he secretly came up with a plan.

"Since we are all family, we in Dingzhou don't need to worry too much. I heard that your brother-in-law has a good relationship with the Zhao family. Can you arrange for someone to work in the Luancheng workshop?"

Cui Wenxin's first reaction was that the other party had no good intentions and was probably sending an undercover agent to infiltrate the workshop. However, since he was only there to resolve Jia Siren's issue, he was reluctant to agree, so he asked:

"Jia Siren, can you really get in touch with the Zhao family? If we follow Manager Cui's suggestion and arrange a few people, will there be any problem?"

Jia Siren was no fool and understood the intricacies of the situation. He smiled and said, "It wouldn't be a problem to use some connections to arrange for someone to go in. But I don't know how many people I need to send in, and I don't know these people well. How should I introduce them?"

When the chief steward Cui Yueming heard that there was a chance, he had been trying to find a way to get someone in these days. After all, they were recruiting openly now, and as long as they were locals, there were no special requirements.

Now that he had the double guarantee of Jia Siren, he naturally felt at ease.

"There won't be many people, maybe three or five. You can arrange it when the time comes. I'll let you contact them first. Then you can say they're your relatives, or your former employees, and that their family has unfortunately encountered difficulties. You can handle it as you see fit."

Although Jia Siren was just a businessman, he had always been doing opportunistic things. He had not forgotten how Zhao Youcai died when he secretly learned the craft last time. Now he was asked to do the same thing again. He felt a headache just thinking about it.

But there was no other way. Otherwise, if the Cui family of Zhao County made trouble, he would have no place to stand. Since the Cui family wanted to ask for help, it meant that there was still room for negotiation.

"Okay! Let's do as Manager Cui says, but I can only find someone from Zhao County. After all, I'm not familiar with Dingzhou."

"Okay then, let's do as you think. If you come to Dingzhou next time, just come to me if you have any questions."

Cui Yueming leaned back and sat there carelessly, as if there was nothing he couldn't handle in Dingzhou City.

After Zhao Sheng and Li Xin reached an agreement, he would walk around Dingzhou as Prince Zhao Xin's godson. As for the matter of finding a son-in-law, Zhao Sheng wanted to hear Li Shuya's opinion.

Mr. Zhao didn't dislike Li Shuya, but he felt that she was a little cold and arrogant, and was afraid that this matter might not be able to be concluded.

But what Zhao Sheng didn't expect was that Li Shuya not only did not oppose the marriage, but praised Zhao Sheng highly.

"Oh, the girl is grown up and can't be kept at home!" Li Xin looked at his daughter and thought that it was time for her to get married.

In ancient times, getting married involved a series of procedures, but some things had already been prepared beforehand, and the rest was just a matter of sending invitations.

Invitations in this era actually have two functions: one is to invite people to be witnesses and express congratulations, and the other is to inform people of important events happening in the family.

The Great Zhou was also a country of etiquette, so those who received the invitation would naturally come. Of course, the emperor would not come in person. He wanted to support the third prince Zhao Hui, so he ordered the third prince to do it for him.

This was also to allow Zhao Hui to make friends with Prince Zhao Xin so as to prepare for his future ascension to the throne.

On the other hand, Emperor Zhao Hengzhen has not given up on the crown prince. The crown prince has been imprisoned in the palace until now, but there is no talk of deposing him. The court has discussed this many times. However, Zhao Hengzhen asked the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to produce solid evidence of the crown prince's rebellion.

Some of the evidence on the surface, at least in Zhao Hengzhen's opinion, was not enough.

Those with unique vision in the court seemed to have noticed some clues, and were not in a hurry to take sides, but they would not become enemies with the Left Prime Minister Wei Rong.

On the other hand, the Right Prime Minister Fan Wenyuan, who supported the prince's party, no longer mentioned this matter, because they also knew that supporting the prince at this time would only put themselves in trouble and unable to extricate themselves.

As the Prince of Yan, Zhao Hui guarded Yanjing. This time, his wife was pregnant, so he stayed in the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Shangjing. Now that she was about to give birth, he was unexpectedly sent by the emperor to participate in the recruitment of a son-in-law by Prince Zhao Xin of Dingzhou. This also puzzled him.

……

When Zhao Sheng learned that Li Shuya was willing to marry him, he felt warm in his heart, but he didn't act anything special. It was just a marriage, and he could live in Luancheng with a legitimate reason.

At the beginning, the production of compressed biscuits was not very successful. After all, it was an assembly line operation, and the balance between speed and output was not easy to grasp. In addition, there were defects in the supply of ingredients each time.

Fortunately, it is edible and tastes pretty good when eaten occasionally. Since it is a trial product, Mr. Zhao plans to sell it at an internal price.

All the workers could enjoy this discount, and many of them bought some to give to their families to try. Later, it was discovered that some people purchased a large quantity, so the supply was limited and sales were soon stopped.

Mr. Zhao summarized the reasons for his poor performance. Generally speaking, he had too high expectations for the raw materials and developed completely according to his own imagination.

Secondly, due to the complexity of the process and the final product quality, employee training needs to be improved.

Unlike in Shigang Village, where a piece of compressed biscuit can be pressed for three or four days, Luancheng uses three-stage multiple compression. Due to the lack of consideration of the mold at that time, the pressing rollers were pressed on the mold.

With this experience, the workshop made improvements and added an iron bar to the original mold, which can increase compression filling even when pressed.

In terms of ingredients, it turns out that some nuts are not crushed after being fried, but are directly added and compressed, which is also one of the reasons for the softness.

After repeated experiments, they finally created the military reserve compressed biscuits, with a shelf life of one year set by Zhao Sheng. They were all made in the fall, stored in the winter, and processed and sold in the summer.

In ancient times, the production date was not marked on the products. As for who to sell to and where to buy them, this was the cake that the Li family of Dingzhou was fighting for. Of course, the Cui family and the Lu family also joined in.

As for ready-to-eat foods, Shigang Village has not given up on the production of soy products. Whether it is Zhaojiazhuang or the surrounding villages, every household can make some money by shipping from the precious compound.

Zhao Sheng also has some tips here. For example, when the village exchanges soybeans for food, there are some limited discounts. Smart people will turn these discounts into differences and exchange them for some food or cash.

The discount may not seem big, but it is enough to feed an average family.

But now all things are leaning towards Luancheng. Even Zhao Erniu, who was guarding the Zhenzhong compound, found something wrong, let alone Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Shicheng acted like nothing had happened recently. He would sit in the yard with a book in his hands, reading it listlessly. No one knew what he was reading.

Zhao Wangshi looked at the old man and although she was very angry, she could do nothing about him. From time to time, Zhao Shicheng asked her to go to the Zhenzhong Courtyard to ask for something.

At first, Zhao Zhen ignored them, but later, as her mother came more often, she had no choice but to fulfill their wishes against her will and repeatedly advised them that since the family had land and crops and did not have to pay taxes, she must do some work.

How could Zhao Shicheng listen to these words? He just felt that it was natural for him to enjoy the blessing of his daughter.

The Zhou Dynasty had strict etiquette and laws, and there were actually not many restrictions on women who married out. However, Zhao Zhen was not considered to be married out now, and her household registration was still that of Zhao Shicheng's daughter.
