The people were excited and celebrating, and naturally all the ministers were also happy.
For most officials who are simply doing business, if the people can be happy, it means that they can also relax...
However, there are also those who don’t respond much.
On this day, Wei Zheng was at home having dinner with his wife and daughter.
Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "Recently, the price of iron has recovered, and the people are all happy. I went to buy vegetables this morning, and they even gave me a chicken, which is what you and your daughter are eating now."
When Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
Recently, I have been doing a lot of work in running the steelmaking plant, and now it is finally much easier!
Wei Ziyu also smiled and said, "These are all problems that have been solved. How can we do it? My daughter actually thinks that my mother's knife skills have improved again today. The meat is cut as thin as a cicada's wings!"
Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and smiled, "This is cut with a newly released stainless steel kitchen knife. It is extremely sharp... Isn't this knife skill great?"
"hey-hey……"
"You girl, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, but which young master have you met?"
Mrs. Wei noticed that her daughter's appearance seemed to have changed somewhat from her previous image of a nerd.
However, this topic is obviously quite sensitive.
After saying that, the smile on Wei Zheng's face disappeared.
"What's going on? Ziyu went out to have a private meeting with someone?"
When Mrs. Wei saw the change in the atmosphere, she immediately smiled and smoothed things over, "What? I just said it casually, how can there be such a thing..."
but.
Although Mrs. Wei tried very hard to change the topic secretly,
However, Wei Ziyu suddenly said,
"Mom, it's true. My daughter did... meet a young master."
When these words came out of the mouth of a young woman, even a fool would know what they meant.
Wei Zheng's brows suddenly stood up.
As a minister who has always been known for his uprightness, Wei Zheng's attitude towards unmarried women having secret meetings with men can be imagined.
But then, before Wei Zheng could get angry, Wei Ziyu suddenly continued,
"This young master is the head of a school in the west of the city. My daughter does... she does have some admiration for this young master."
After saying this, not expecting his mother-in-law to understand, Wei Ziyu turned around directly...quickly walked back to the boudoir, leaving Wei Zheng and Mrs. Wei stunned.
When Mrs. Wei saw that the atmosphere had become like this, she suddenly became anxious and pulled Wei Zheng and said,
"Forget it, now that His Majesty has issued an edict, let my daughter go. Since she can run a college, she must be a serious person..."
"There is also such a good thing..."
Mrs. Wei was comforting Wei Zheng when she suddenly heard Wei Zheng murmur something like a god.
For a moment, Mrs. Wei thought she had heard wrongly.
"No, Xuan...Xuancheng, what did you just say?"
"Oh, it's nothing...what, you call your daughter, my father wants to tell her some of the mountain chief's preferences, so that it can be easier..."
Mrs. Wei:???
"Xuancheng, should you explain to me...?"
Just now, I was angry that my daughter had a secret meeting with a man, but in the blink of an eye...
Oh, this person has become our Ziyu’s true love???
Wei Zheng chuckled.
"You don't know this person, and you don't know how powerful he is. Recently, your majesty has been fighting with the powerful families of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. The other party has been using vicious tricks and killing moves. If you rely solely on me to assist your majesty, I'm afraid that this country will not be able to win.
The situation should have changed a long time ago, and at least it would have laid endless roots of disaster. But..."
"Hey, madam, you don't know, but just because your Majesty got to know a counselor, your Majesty has made these powerful men miserable every time they fight openly and secretly! Hahahahaha!"
"So powerful? Listen to what you said...is this man really Zi Yu's true destiny?"
"Well...sigh."
Wei Zheng sighed leisurely...
"Except for Zi Yu, this person is also... well, a fairy-like figure. He is not comparable to ordinary young talents. This person is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and knows all the knowledge in the world. In everything, he is the best in the world!"
"The potatoes, sweet potatoes, fertilizers, etc. these days are all handmade by this person. Even as a military strategist, he can impress famous generals like Li Jing!"
"Oh my god..."
Mrs. Wei covered her mouth in shock... She instantly understood why her daughter, who had always been arrogant, admired a man.
If this is true...then, it seems that we can really let our daughter go...
"However, as long as our Ziyu works harder, he will be the right son of our Wei family!"
Wei Zheng smiled for a moment, became excited and looked at his wife,
"I won't talk about it anymore. You must remember to go out to the streets more often these days. Buy more beautiful dresses for Ziyu, and our Wei family... we won't have to worry about it in the future, hahahahaha!"
Mrs. Wei's heart suddenly moved.
No, I have to cut some of the best fabrics for my daughter immediately tomorrow, and make some of the most beautiful and figure-flattering skirts...!!!
…
During this period of turmoil in Chang'an, Li Er fell into confusion.
It's been going on for several days in a row recently.
Li Erdu was thinking about a question. In fact... he didn't understand why he didn't want to use troops to directly eradicate the entire Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, these powerful families.
It was obviously harmful to the Tang Dynasty but not beneficial at all, but for some reason... I always felt that if I did this, there seemed to be something missing.
This lack has been bothering Li Er recently.
So that day, after much thought, Li Er simply... took Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling... and others with him and went to chat with Li Sheng.
These days, Li Sheng is naturally busy with scientific research and education in a "junior college" institution in the west of Chang'an City... He is not too busy, but in recent times, transportation in ancient times was not developed, so there was no chance to return to Youyou.
It’s a quiet life over there in the state.
All food and accommodation are in this "junior college" in the west of the city...
But having said that, Li Sheng's living environment is definitely not simple.
The reason is simple.
Li Sheng's cement trial production has basically been successful!
The whole process, from firing to ash and mixing of concrete... Li Sheng had a very clear understanding of it.
It's just that the fired materials and formula ratios are still being optimized through experiments.
Cement is like this, it seems to be a clumsy thing, but in the real industrial world... even cement has a high-tech version.
For example, the high-end cement of later generations, used to build military bunkers and other facilities, uses top-grade Portland cement, and the price is not known to be much more expensive than ordinary cement.
Of course, Li Sheng would definitely not be able to produce such high-end things now.
However, there is a very useful version, which is... the slag used for iron ore smelting, which is also a good cement raw material!
The key is that there is no shortage recently...
So Li Sheng specially gave Ying'er a new task. In addition to running a store, he also had to purchase iron ore slag.
