Chapter 267 065: Cause controversy (second update)

Author: Dream Builder

When her daughter said this, Mrs. Chen blushed. After living here for two days, she also saw that the mental outlook of the people here was different from other places. Even her daughter became different.

"If Mom doesn't learn from me, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?"

Zhang Lianzi was startled. She didn't think her mother was ugly, but she couldn't say that, otherwise her mother wouldn't want to make progress, so she nodded broadly, "Mom, everyone here can read, but you can't. It's true."

It’s embarrassing.”

"Okay, let me learn from you," Mrs. Chen said with determination.

Chang Xi didn't listen anymore after hearing this. The mother who was willing to make progress for her daughter could at least be saved. However, the Qi Wei she learned was not as thick as the Qi Wei learned by a group of people, so she privately told Zhang Lianzi, "Take your mother with you every day."

Listening to classes in the workshop is good for her to broaden her thinking."

Zhang Lianzi's eyes lit up, "Can my mother also go to class?"

"Of course." Chang Xi smiled, "Let your mother go to class first so that she can gain knowledge. I will see if there is a suitable job for her in the future and I will make arrangements then."

Zhang Lianzi nodded hurriedly and actually took her mother to the workshop to attend classes almost every day.

The class time in the workshop is fixed, but workers only come to attend classes when they get off work. Everyone has a class schedule, and they must attend enough classes every day to be considered successful.

At first, Ms. Chen was embarrassed, but when she saw people older than her coming to the literacy class, she gradually relaxed and could chat with the people around her. Communication makes people progress very quickly.

I can take the initiative to come to class every day in high spirits.

Zhang Lianzi was very happy to see her mother's little progress. It would be great if her eldest brother Zhang Yingda also came back. The life of the family of three would definitely be more promising than before.

She didn't dare to ask Chang Xi often, so she had to check the time every few days to ask Sister Dongli.

Dongli had a good impression of this little girl and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Chang is paying attention to this matter. Your brother will definitely come back."

That being said, the matter is still quite tricky.

Behind Zhang Lianzi's back, she reported this to Chang Xi, "That Aunt Tao had a hand in it. Now because Chang Kui killed Zhou Afa, there is a dispute over whether it was manslaughter or intentional homicide, so Mr. Zhou has not decided the case for a long time.

, the case has been delayed..."

"Pressure from Aunt Tao?" Chang Xi frowned slightly, could a famous post from the Weiwu Marquis Mansion be so useful? Why didn't she believe it so much?

Dong Li said, "We're not sure at the moment. It's just that Chang Dadou and Mr. Li hired a lawyer to help Chang Kui fight this lawsuit. That lawyer is so powerful that he can turn a dark talk into a clean one."

Chang Xi smiled when he heard this. What do Chang Dadou and Mr. Li know about asking for a lawyer? There is someone behind these two who is giving advice, and this person is still targeting Grandma Tao. With Grandma Tao's temperament, she must hope to close the case as soon as possible.

I don't want it to drag on.

And she had a vague guess as to who the person who was stirring up the troubled waters was. If it was because of her that the case became complicated, then there was no need for it.

Mr. Dong, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Mr. Sun, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who came from the capital, were ill for several days because they were not acclimated to the climate. Until they got better, they did not dare to delay any longer and quickly contacted the company to contact Chang Xi to come to the other hospital.

Look at that steam exhaust machine.

Chang Xi went to greet him personally.

Along the way from the city to this villa, the biggest feeling for the two adults from the capital was that the suburbs were particularly prosperous and lively. Even the road had been widened a lot, and it was not so bumpy for them to sit in the carriage.

Mr. Dong, the Minister of Industry and Engineering, felt the deepest feeling. He looked at the road outside and asked, "Is this newly built?"

Mr. Zhou, who was riding a horse beside the carriage to accompany him, said hurriedly, "Yes, because there are two major workshops here, Mrs. Chang proposed to repair this road, and the money for the road construction was paid by the workshops."

It is not funded by local finance.

Mr. Dong immediately looked at Mr. Sun who was aside. It seems that things can be done without your household department.

Mr. Sun turned his face to one side and talked about whether he had money or not. His life was at stake. In a word, the Ministry of Accounts had no money.

Mr. Dong happily looked at the customs and asked questions, while Mr. Zhou accompanied him almost carefully.

Chang Xi, who also chose to ride a horse, did not get in front of the two adults, but rode side by side with Yuan Hao. There were some things she had to say.

"Master Yuan, my two incompetent parents have disturbed you a lot recently. I'm deeply sorry. It's really my brother's case that should be punished according to national law. I don't want to violate national law, so I ask you not to interfere in this case anymore...

…”

Yuan Hao was slightly startled, but he was not surprised that Chang Xi would guess that he was interfering. The reason why he did this was to put pressure on Aunt Tao, and the ultimate goal was for Chang Xi.

"No, Mrs. Chang, I did this for a purpose. Please listen to me in detail."

Chang Xi frowned slightly, "Sir Yuan, I don't want to pursue the past, I just hope that the case can be closed as soon as possible, so that the innocent people can be freed."

"Ms. Chang, you can't say that. This matter is of great importance. Please forgive me for not not pursuing it, because it is also related to my interests." Yuan Hao said seriously.

Chang Xi understood now that Yuan Hao didn't want to marry Han Yongzhu, so he was so concerned about this matter.

Since he had such a request, it was not her turn to comment. "My lord, please forgive me for disturbing you." She simply rode a horse ahead of him and stopped riding alongside him.

Yuan Hao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. He came here today because he was nosy, because this errand had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to see her one more time, so he shamelessly followed her.

Now it seems that his behavior made her unhappy, so he wisely stopped following her to the other courtyard, told Master Zhou, and then turned around and returned to the city.

Chang Xi naturally saw Yuan Hao leaving suddenly, and knew that her actions just now hurt his heart, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. She hoped that Yuan Hao would still be the same Yuan Hao as before, instead of being trapped in an affair between his children and unable to get out of it.

This would fall into the inferior category.

Mr. Zhou didn't care much about Yuan Hao's departure and just nodded to his entourage to express his understanding.

Mr. Dong, the Minister of Works, and Mr. Sun, the Minister of Household, did not pay attention to Yuan Hao's departure at all. Instead, they watched with interest the workers returning from get off work in twos and threes. Although the conversations they chatted along the way did not sound very literary, But it doesn't sound like the words of a rough guy who can't read Chinese characters.

Lord Zhou hurriedly told what he knew, and the two adults sitting in the carriage couldn't help but open their mouths. What's more, they actually forced people to read, but the effect was good. It can be seen that these villagers have been educated well.

.

They couldn't get used to Chang Xi riding a horse along the way, but it was undeniable that this woman was really courageous.

When Chang Xi arrived at the other courtyard, she quickly got off her horse and went to greet the two adults. The two adults looked at her with more admiration. They were not as cold as before, which was a good start.

The company boss and Chang Xi are old acquaintances. They have long known that she manages the workshop and imposes strange learning requirements, so it is not surprising.

Although it is called a separate courtyard, the inside has been renovated and no longer looks like a separate courtyard. Instead, each researcher occupies their own territory, and it is no longer as elegant as before.

"Mr. Chang, do you research other things in this research institute?" Mr. Dong asked curiously.

Chang Xi stepped forward and said, "Yes, our research covers many aspects..." She gave one or two easy-to-understand examples to explain.

Dongda people were amazed when they heard this. This was much more conscientious than those at the Ministry of Industry.

Mr. Lin also came to the institute today. When he saw Chang Xi accompanying the adults, he also hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Seeing the old man, who looked like he had retired from official service, Mr. Dong and Mr. Sun did not dare to touch Qiao, but were a little more humble. Only Mr. Company still held his head high.

Next, the process of looking at the steam exhaust machine was extremely smooth. As an expert, Mr. Dongda was surprised when he saw the ingenious working principle.

"Who came up with this? Such a genius."

Lin Yuqi was now pushed to the stage. Chang Xi gave him all the flowers and applause he deserved. However, everyone saw that Lin Yuqi was not good at sociability, so they only encouraged him a few words and did not pull him away.

Don't let people go.

Mr. Lin feels that the most glorious thing in his life is now that his grandson is making a difference, and he is happier than he was when he was an official.

Mr. Sun, the Minister of Household Affairs, is more concerned about the cost. The treasury has no money, so the price must be kept as low as possible.

On this issue, Chang Xi argued hard and did not give in easily.

Of course, the reward does not have to be money, it can be other things.

"Pay with iron ore?" Mr. Sun said in surprise, "Is this okay?"

"As long as the court can get it, of course it will be fine." Chang Xi said, "I will also explain to Mr. Sun, because this machine can only be made of iron, not wood, so it requires a lot of iron ore.

, and this thing is controlled by the imperial court, and there is a quota for private use. Our production is very subject to this constraint. If Master Sun is able to use this to pay a certain amount of remuneration against all opinions, we will also welcome it."

Mr. Sun's inherent thinking has been greatly impacted. Chang Xi's proposal is quite tempting. If iron ore can be used to replace part of the silver, it will be a good thing for the national treasury. However, whether this can be opened depends on the court.

To make a decision, he does not have such great authority.

The company boss tried his best to promote this business, so he urged Mr. Sun and Mr. Dong to write a joint brochure on the spot and send it back to the capital overnight.

Master Dong didn't want to take care of it, but because his father-in-law was there, he had no choice but to write his name on the paper.

This memorial was sent back to the capital overnight, and not long after, a huge stone was thrown into the dull court meeting.

"How can such a large amount of iron ore be given away casually? What if someone uses it to rebel?" Someone was extremely worried.

Some people took the note written by Mr. Sun and said, "This lists how much iron ore is used for a machine. If we control the amount given well, they will not have any excess, so there is no need to worry about anyone.
