Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 33
There is one thing that the Crown Princess did not tell Zhu Jingjing. Even if it is a craftsman's work, no matter how well it is done, the court and his father will not pay special attention to it.After all, the status of craftsmen has been there since ancient times.

However, if the craftsman can be of great help to the court, and if the previous matters involving medicine are true, then it may be possible.

For this reason, she had to go and see the country boy again to see what he could do and whether it was worth her to help her sister-in-law!
This time, instead of riding in a carriage, she chose to ride a horse.It would be best if the prince comes back before he comes back from the palace, so that he can avoid being verbose.

The last time he left the city, Zhu Biao spent a lot of time nagging.This Confucian scholar is good at everything, even his mother-in-law and mother have many things to do, which makes him annoying!
Based on this plan, the Crown Princess rode to Liujia Village in less than half an hour.

The horse galloping along the way made her feel like she was back before she got married, and her mood suddenly improved a lot.So when I saw Zhang Yifan by the river, even though I knew that this guy and his sister-in-law had so many things going on behind her back, I didn't feel any disgust at all.

As the daughter of the fierce general Chang Yuchun, she was quite straightforward. When they met, she didn't even get off her horse. When Zhang Yifan came to greet him, she asked directly: "Tell me what you want to do!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan glanced at Zhu Jingjing beside him, and when he saw her nodding to indicate to him, he understood what was going on. It would be similar to introducing projects to venture capital investors in future generations!
With this in mind, he introduced: "I know a method of firing a basic building material called cement. The raw materials are very simple, such as sand and gravel. They are surrounded by them. The fired cement has the characteristics of Sanhe In this way, we no longer have to worry about water when building roads, bridges, and houses. There will be no mud in rainy days, and it will be much easier to build water conservancy projects..."

After talking for a while, he pointed to the river and said: "Because the cement firing process requires a lot of manpower, I plan to use this river and use water conservancy to make auxiliary tools like waterwheels to replace some of the Manpower, probably like this..."

Zhang Yifan actually has experience in how to persuade venture capital investors. He started to introduce his cement plant plan in detail at the cement plant address he selected.

During this period, no one spoke, including the Crown Princess and Zhu Jingjing, and just listened to Zhang Yifan's talk.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yifan roughly explained his plan clearly, including the difficulties he encountered and the people and things he needed.Venture capital funds can measure the amount of investment, the return, etc. based on what he said.

Although the Crown Princess does not participate in the political affairs of the court, she is in charge of some matters in the East Palace and has heard many reports from her subordinates on handling matters, but she has never heard Zhang Yifan explain an unfamiliar matter in such a clear and logical manner.Just from this aspect, she was a little impressed by Zhang Yifan.

At this time, she can make it clear that Zhang Yifan is definitely a talent!
Even she was very surprised that Zhang Yifan could do this at such a young age, at least it was unheard of for her!
After listening, she pondered for a moment and finally said: "Everyone else, step aside, I have something to say to him!"

Naturally, the villagers did not dare to disobey, and her men would certainly not disobey.Soon, only Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing were left next to her.

The princess glanced at Zhu Jingjing and found that she was blushing a little, but she didn't say anything. She turned back and looked at Zhang Yifan and said, "You saved my sister-in-law. She wants to marry you. Are you willing?"

No one expected that she would be so direct.No, Zhu Jingjing's face suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt, and she immediately lowered her head shyly.But she really wanted to know what Zhang Yifan was thinking, so she mustered up the courage, raised her head slightly, and took a peek at Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan also didn't expect that the venture capital meeting would suddenly turn into a blind date meeting.After being stunned for a while, he looked at Zhu Jingjing.

If it were before today, he might have hesitated for a while and weighed whether it would be good for him to participate in the fight between Zhu Yuanzhang and Xungui?However, today he really saw that Zhu Jingjing's heart was in him.

She traveled to the Ming Dynasty and was an orphan. She was a noblewoman of the Ming Dynasty, but she did not dislike her identity. She expressed her love so directly and unmistakably in the way of a woman chasing a man.This love is indeed heavy enough!
In this Ming Dynasty, can you meet someone better than Zhu Jingjing?Maybe, but the probability is definitely not high!

Zhang Yifan had already thought when Zhu Jingjing left that maybe Zhu Jingjing was his best partner!
Because of such psychological expectations before, after the Crown Princess raised this question, Zhang Yifan glanced at Zhu Jingjing, then turned to look at the Crown Princess, and replied seriously: "I do!"

This answer is actually not surprising.At least in the eyes of people of this era, this should be a matter of course.After all, Zhu Jingjing’s life experience is here, Zhang Yifan is reaching a high level!
But even so, after Zhu Jingjing heard what she wanted to hear, she blushed and lowered her head.

However, the Crown Princess still had a serious face, looked at Zhang Yifan and said: "I tell you the truth, my old man may not agree with your marriage. He would rather value someone from another well-matched family. Therefore, if you want to marry Jing Jing, It will be far more difficult than you think!”

After a pause, she thought for a moment and then added seriously: "Given Jing Jing's age, my old man is already considering her marriage. It can even be said that if you want to marry her, it is equivalent to blocking the road and robbing her, which means You may offend the powerful husband's family that the old man values. Are you... still willing to marry Jing Jing and work hard for it? "

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingjing suddenly became a little anxious.She could tell that the Crown Princess was trying to scare Zhang Yifan. After all, who in the world would dare to offend her family? As long as Zhang Yifan became the consort, other nobles would recognize her or not, so how could they dare to retaliate?

So, she quickly said: "Sister-in-law, you..."

However, just as she started to speak, the Crown Princess suddenly turned her head, looked at her, and said sternly: "Don't talk!"

After all, she was just a princess, and it would definitely be a thankless task if she interfered with her sister-in-law's marriage.If she wasn't Chang Yuchun's daughter, and if she didn't have a good relationship with Zhu Jingjing, she would definitely not care about this matter.

Therefore, no matter what, she wanted to see what kind of person Zhang Yifan was and whether he was worthy of her help?Otherwise, even if Zhang Yifan is talented but has poor moral character, she will not help him.

Now, she was going to see how Zhang Yifan would reply!
