Xianggui

Ding Zhuang was not angry, and laughed and scolded, "Stupid things, you can't say something nice." He pulled Ding Xiang into his arms again, "It's not in vain that I love you, I always give you face like this. You wait, I will give it to you." You take some private money."

Ding Xiang pulled him back, "I have enough money, I will save it for myself to buy something good to eat."

Lying in bed at night, Ding Xiang was filled with emotions.

From now on, Xun Qiandai will be his "Second Senior Brother".How about Princess Dongyang hiring famous teachers for the fake Xunxiang, no matter how famous she is, it is impossible for the "Old Man Dongshan" to be famous.

In a place far away from the capital, the plans she made at the beginning were basically realized, and the tasks were overfulfilled.

Produced "precious iron", smelted refined iron, made a fortune, worshiped Tao Weng as a teacher, and went to meet the eminent monk Mingyuan next year, and meet that "relative" by the way...

I hope it is Xun Qiandai.

The second day was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Ding Xiang had her first official class.

Today Ding Xiang didn't sleep in late, she was dressed up beautifully by Zhang Shi and Ling'er, and she went to Tao's house to attend class with a basket filled with brushes, ink and inkstones.

Ding Zhuang didn't go to "Baotie" and wanted to give his granddaughter a ride.

They discussed, "If you don't want to brag, I will send you to Tao's door."

Ding Xiang pouted, "That doesn't work either."

She could imagine that even if grandpa didn't talk to her all the way, his smug expression would make the whole village pay attention to him.

He didn't want to say it, but he had to say it when someone asked him, and then he just blew, blew, blew.

Ding Zhuang was helpless, so he sent his granddaughter to the door of his house and watched her walk towards the village.

When Ding Xiang arrived at Tao's house, she first went to the main room to greet the old lady, and then went to study in the study.

Sun Yumu took Feifei and Heiwa to play outside again.

On this day, the news that Ding Xiang worshiped Tao Weng as his teacher and specialized in Danqing also spread in Beiquan Village and its vicinity.

The villagers were envious and jealous.

Old Ding's ancestral grave is smoking, and in recent years, all good things have come to his house.

After Xia Yuanwai heard about it, he was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day.Before, he put down his face and went to Ding's house to give gifts several times, but Ding Zhuang didn't see him, and he didn't accept the gift either.He also asked Xia Lizheng and the Ding family to help negotiate a deal, but Ding Zhuang still ignored him.

Old Mrs. Tao left Lilac for lunch, and played for a long time. She didn't go home until after noon.

Ding Zhuang has come back from the county seat and bought a large box of books about painting for Ding Xiang.

Most of those books are useless, it's a pity that there is so much money.

Seeing his grandfather begging for praise, Ding Xiang said against his will, "Master, how do you know I need these books?"

Ding Zhuang smiled and narrowed his eyes, "You grew up in Grandpa's hands, so Grandpa doesn't know what you think?"

In the evening, Ding Zhuang sent someone to invite Ding Shan, Xia Er and Hong Daguo to have a drink.After thinking about it, I still called Ding Li and Ding Youcai.

Ding Zhao returned to his hometown on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. He took out a bunch of gifts and letters.

Lilac has the most gifts and letters.Qin Hai and Mrs. Sun gave her gifts alone, and Ding Lichun, Zhu Qian, Mrs. Zhu, and Zhu Zhan not only gave gifts, but also wrote letters.

Especially Zhu Zhan, his younger sister is older than his younger sister, and his name is closer than Ding Lichun's big brother.

Ding Zhao said that the name of the shop is "Baoqing Iron Ware Firm", and the kitchen utensils and farm tools it sells are much more expensive than other shops, but the business is surprisingly good, and the supply exceeds the demand...

The marriage between Zhu Zhan and Lu Yubing was dissolved.The reason was that Lu Yubing disliked Zhu Zhan's words and the Zhu family heard that they had no choice but to withdraw the engagement.

Lu Zongbing was unwilling to resign, saying that he would teach his daughter a good lesson, but Zhu Qian insisted.

Lu Zongbing was very angry, and the relationship between the two was not what it used to be.At this juncture, Zhu Zhan introduced Ding Zhao to him and talked about Jingtie.

After seeing the ironware, Lu Zongbing was shocked.He knew what such fine iron meant to the imperial court, and how much credit would be given to those who participated.

All his dissatisfaction with Zhu Qian disappeared.

He had been working hard to win over Zhu Qian before.Yu Gong and Zhu Qian are rare generals on the water. Japanese pirates and pirates at home and abroad are afraid of him.In private, no matter how much credit Zhu Qian earns, it is impossible to be promoted, and his official position cannot be threatened.

This kind of official who has great ability and can't pose a threat to Shangfeng is only Zhu Qian.

The two marriages did not make a friendship, and Lu and Zhu reconciled as before.

Zhu Qian also proposed not to let Vice President Wang know.

Lu Zongbing also didn't want to tell Vice Zongbing Wang, for fear that he would skip his report and leave him alone.What's more, the fact that the daughter of the Lu family looked down on the son of the Zhu family was spread by the children of the female family members of Vice President Wang's family...

There is a weapons manufacturing bureau on the outskirts of Jeju Prefecture, which is in charge of the Ministry of Industry.The manufacture of weapons must be approved by the emperor and manufactured by the Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and private factories are strictly prohibited from manufacturing weapons.

Lu Zongbing has already sent someone to Beijing to deliver a letter to Sun Houye, and together they brought a piece of ductile iron produced by "Baoqing Iron Works Manufacturing Co., Ltd.", an ax made of this iron, a kitchen knife and an iron handle. .

Sun Houye presented the booklet and these items to the emperor.

The general idea is that this kind of iron was trial-produced and produced by the craftsmen led by the shopkeeper of "Baoqing Iron Works Manufacturing Co., Ltd." Zhu Qian attached great importance to it after knowing it, and went to check it in person.He felt that if this kind of fine iron was used in the manufacture of firearms and weapons, Dali would be invincible and invincible.The craftsmen of "Bao Tie" must keep it secret and must not spread it to the outside world.

While allowing "Bao Tie" to continue production, Zhu Qian reported to Lu Zongbing.General Lu and Sun Shen were so excited that they hurriedly sent people to Beijing to report.I sincerely ask the emperor for approval to let Jiaodong Arms Manufacturing Bureau cooperate with "Baoqing" to manufacture artillery barrels, gun barrels, swords and other weapons with ductile iron.

It is recommended that rare crystalline earth, like iron ore, be uniformly controlled by the court and not allowed to be mined at will by the private sector.

He also asked for credit for the father and son of the Ding family, saying that the production of this kind of ironware is of far-reaching significance to the court and will benefit generations to come. They are rare talents who have made great contributions to Dali...

Ding Xiang is secretly happy, how to write notes is also particular.General Sun Shen was drawn in not only because he had a good relationship with Zhu Qian, but also because his uncle was Lord Marquis Sun, the captain of the navy.

Ding Zhao said with a smile, "'Baoqing' will continue to recruit people and expand production. How to make ductile iron, except for the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, will not be disclosed. Good civilian iron is only produced by us, and it must be in short supply.

"Even if the technology of ductile iron is passed on in the future, private factories will not be able to buy rare crystal soil. And our two hills can be used for at least decades or even hundreds of years...

"Master Lu said that next year, the Lord of the Ministry of Industry will definitely come to 'Baoqing' to inspect, and I will also go to the Weapons Bureau to help. Hehe, it is possible to give me a small official."

There are also businessmen who are officials in this society.The official is not big, and manages his own business most of the time, and occasionally participates in or assists the court in implementing certain commercial initiatives.These people are businessmen who have made great contributions to the court, and most of them are imperial businessmen.

Ductile iron was of great use to the court, and was much more useful than wine, porcelain, and satin. It was really possible for Ding Zhao to get a small official position.
