I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 272 The Third Lady's Determination
Li Tian was confused by the third lady's question, and had no desire to speak anymore.

But he can understand.

Whether it's Jiang Bao, Wang Fu, or Miss San, no matter what they say, the three of them have nothing to do with science.

I don't have that talent at all, and I'm not interested in this aspect.

If you really want to explain it to them, explain it clearly, it is estimated that it will be impossible for not one day and one night.

And the steam engine is easy to say.

In fact, it can be regarded as an extremely complicated thing in this era.

I haven't seen the shadow of fine steel yet, so it is indeed a bit early to say this.

Randomly put away the drawn paper and threw it to Wang Fu.

Li Tian said with a somewhat annoyed tone,
"You don't have to worry about what I use these things for, as long as you know that they are of great use."

Naturally, Jiang Bao and the two can do whatever they want. There are too many thoughts that Li Tian suddenly had during this time, and they have long been used to it.

The third lady was only worried about the whereabouts of Steel, and asked this question incidentally.

Hearing that Li Tian said it was for personal use, she didn't need to ask any further.

Although the Ming Dynasty explicitly prohibited the private large-scale trading of fine steel.

But Li Tian has become Chen Ji's partner, so it is for his own use, so there is no problem.

After hastily signing the contract, half of Chen Ji belonged to Li Tian.

That said, it's not quite right.

Li Tian saw that when the third wife handed over the money to buy Chen Ji, they used the silver notes issued by the Royal Bank.

At that time, he guessed that the third lady was able to take out such a large sum of money at once, she must have borrowed a lot from the royal bank.

And the Royal Bank is also his, and if the money is not paid off in one day, this Chen Ji is actually all Li Tian.

The third wife is at best a temporary manager.

It was precisely because of this that Li Tian dared to cooperate with the third lady so confidently and boldly.

If on that day, Chen Ji really had a problem, Li Tian would be able to take the whole workshop under his command with a wave of his hand, without worrying that all his efforts would be in vain.

After signing the contract.

As long as Li Tian sends the remaining 2 taels of silver, Chen Ji can start working immediately to build forging hammers and produce fine steel.

It's just a little more troublesome.

That is the problem of Chen Ji's manager.

The Chai family represented by the third lady, as the real owner of the workshop, naturally needs to send a shrewd and capable person to manage it.

As for Li Tian, ​​he is considered a half master. Even if he wants to ensure that his money is not wasted, he still needs someone to help manage and supervise.

The things that this iron smelting workshop will produce in the future are actually more important than matches and soap workshops in Li Tian's mind.

Even if he sends a big internal manager to manage it, it is not an exaggeration.

But this person must not only understand iron smelting, but also be loyal and trustworthy. Li Tian couldn't think of any suitable person for a while.

It doesn't matter if you can't find it for the time being, anyway, it will take some time before the new workshop is completed, so he can look for it slowly.

Afterwards, Li Tian discussed with the third lady for a while, and told him what needs to be paid attention to in the future.

Immediately afterwards, he briefly visited various places in Chen Ji, and after getting a general understanding of the current situation of the workshop, he left.

But they didn't go back directly to the palace, but went straight to Tiangongyuan.

……

After Li Tian and others left.

Seeing that there was no one around, the third lady slumped down on the chair with a plop.

At this moment, a servant brought in tea, and when he saw the third lady was sweating profusely, he was frightened.

The servant thought something happened to her, and hurriedly exclaimed,
"Third Madam, what's wrong with you. Would you like me to hire a doctor for you!"

The third lady waved her hand lightly, signaling her not to worry.

There was nothing wrong with her, but she was frightened.

In fact, when he saw Li Tian for the first time, he had already noticed that Li Tian was not an ordinary person.

It's just that he didn't connect Li Tian with the current His Majesty for a while.

But in the subsequent chats, especially when Li Tian finally handed over all the [-] jin of fine steel business to her domineeringly, she came to her senses.

Originally, Chen Ji and Wei's small business in iron materials had to be done secretly. The production of fine steel, which was banned by the imperial court, was considered a big deal no matter it was put in any iron smelting workshop.

In the beginning, the third wife was also dazzled by the huge benefits involved, and accepted the deal recklessly.

But after asking Li Tian about the use of fine steel.

In fact, she already understood that even if Li Tian is not the current His Majesty, he is designated as someone who is highly valued by His Majesty.

Because in the whole world, except for the royal family, no one dared to order so many stainless steels in the capital at once.

When I thought about it, my little Chen Ji iron smelting workshop turned into a joint workshop with the royal family in a blink of an eye.

That's the royal family, and if something goes wrong with the royal family, it will be a major event of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.

No matter how daring and capable she was, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

But after all, she is also considered to be a bold person with a high level of art, and it is too late to repent.

The only way to go to the dark and cooperate deeply with the royal family is her hope of keeping the whole family.

It took me a long time to regain my composure.

The third lady told the servants beside her,

"What happened here today, nothing can be said to outsiders, especially those three people just now, you know!"

Seeing her speak so harshly, the domestic servant immediately shrank his neck. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he hurriedly replied,
"Understood, Third Madam, villains and others will never talk nonsense."

For these people who have been trained by themselves, the third wife is quite at ease.

But there was only one person, she was worried about.

That person was none other than the one who almost had a conflict with Jiang Bao and the others, Chen Liu.

This Chen Liu was specially arranged by the Chai family to keep an eye on her.

This is actually not difficult to understand, although the third wife is the wife of the third young master of the Chai family, Chai Junming.

But after all, he is a foreigner.

The talents of the generation of the Chai family were so withered that they had no choice but to hand over all the business of the Chai family to the third lady.

And the third wife also lived up to expectations, and in just two or three years, the Chai family's half-dead business was managed successfully.

He made a lot of money for the Chai family.

But even so, the Chai family still didn't trust her very much. They put Chen Liu by her side, nominally to drive for her, but in reality to monitor her every move.
