Chapter 240 Tungsten Ore and Petroleum

August [-]th is suitable for marriage.

The entire Su Wang Mansion is still full of joy. Last month, the third lady was welcomed, and today the fourth lady is coming.

Li Zhao had to accompany his fourth younger brother to Uncle Rongchang's mansion to pick up the bride early in the morning, but the paw prints captured by Song Qingyue last time were still on his face.

In this day and age, there is no effective concealer or other products, so he is just so colorful and people look at him all the way.

The brothers were all ashamed of him, but Li Zhao was the only one who was very calm, even a little reckless and embarrassing - it was left when he was making out with his wife, what is there to be ashamed of?
Husband and wife Dun Lun, it is only right and proper.

So arrogant, coupled with that handsome and flawless face, she is really romantic, why do people feel inexplicably envious when they look at it?
It's just that Song Qingyue's reputation as a shrew can't be escaped. She dares to scratch the prince's son. This woman is about to go against the sky!
But looking at His Royal Highness, he is not angry!
"Tsk tsk, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. Hey, find someone to reason with. The imperial concubine is so fierce, who will dare to marry the daughter of the Song family in the future?!" Some people who eat melons sighed.

Immediately someone retorted: "Hey! It sounds like you can get married! Don't eat grapes and your teeth will be sour. They are called small peppers. Although they are choking, they are delicious!"

As for King Su, he was not annoyed when he heard Eunuch Wang say that his son was embarrassed by his daughter-in-law.

Who hasn't been scratched by a lady when she was young?I think Li Zhaoniang was much more ruthless than the little girl of the Song family back then...

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and His Royal Highness King Su is afraid of trouble. If he can not interfere, he will try not to interfere.

That brat has rough skin and thick flesh, what is there to worry about?

~
Compared with the lively and grand wedding of the third son, Li Min, the wedding of the fourth son, Li Min, was a bit more simple, and there were a lot fewer single guests than at Li Bin's wedding.

The grandson family of the fourth son's grandson committed a crime because of the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Mr. Sun, and the Sun's house was confiscated. Hundreds of members of the family were beheaded, those who were decapitated, and those who were exiled. Li Min has been with relatives for several generations, and Li Min doesn't even know them.

This is really a happy wedding with a hint of joy.

After a day, although she was extremely tired, Song Qingyue tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Today, Song Qingyue's sunflower water was brought forward again, Li Zhao hugged her into his arms, put his palms on her stomach to keep her warm, and asked, "But it hurts so much that I can't sleep?"

Song Qingyue shook her head: "Seeing that the Fourth Young Master is remembering something from the past."

"Tell it to my husband." He kissed her ear.

Song Qingyue was silent for a while before slowly opening her mouth and said: "I think back then, when my father was the prefect of Guangzhou, that is, the year I followed him back to Beijing to report on my duties, if it weren't for Sun Shangshu's support, my father would not be able to be the chief minister of Guangdong..."

The next thing was that Song Jianming returned to Beijing, squeezed out Sun Shangshu and became the household secretary of Beijing, and Sun Shangshu was transferred to Nanjing household department. Big shortfall.Sun Shangshu was sentenced to ransack his home and beheaded, and all his family members were exiled to Qiongzhou...

How did things become like this?
Li Zhao sneered and said, "Why did you support your father when you became Sun Weimin?"

Song Qingyue was startled, turned her head to meet his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, her breath was stagnant.

Ah, it turned out to be the work of King Su's Mansion again.

How could she not have thought of it?
"What about Sun Shangshu's death?" Song Qingyue asked.

Li Zhao was startled, stood up, looked at Song Qingyue very seriously and said, "This is unexpected."

"really?"

"Really, you believe me!" Li Zhao said sincerely.

"Then why...why didn't you try to protect Mr. Sun?"

"I can't keep it. Sun Weimin has committed a lot of crimes. Even the palace is powerless, but we have already sent people to Qiongzhou to take care of those exiled by the Sun family." He stroked Song Qingyue's cheek and kissed the corners of her eyes Eyebrows, "Su Wangfu will not do such a thing, trust me, Yue'er."

Song Qingyue smiled, but the smile was a bit forced, she lowered her eyes and said softly: "You can't blame the palace, Mr. Sun is really greedy for so many people. If he is not greedy, and if he doesn't let his subordinates do evil, he can't It was my father who framed him. I will remind my father not to repeat the same mistakes."

Li Zhao carefully observed her expression and knew what the worries in her heart were. He hugged her tightly and said, "Yue'er, believe me, the Su Palace has no reason to kill Lord Sun."

He knew that Song Qingyue was an extremely rational person, and it was useless to comfort her so much. He had to reason with her. After thinking about it, he said: "The Wangfu and Mr. Sun did have some shady deals, but he was helping to conceal some truths about Lingnan. Even if he goes to Nanjing, he still has sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons. As long as his father can succeed, Concubine Sun will at least be a second-rank concubine. If it can benefit his descendants, Lord Sun has no reason to confront Su Wangfu."

Having said that, Song Qingyue nodded and said, "I understand, I believe in my husband."

She turned around and hugged Li Zhao's waist tightly, as if this could drive away the fear in her heart. Li Zhao hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said, "Don't be afraid, there is a husband here, I won't Something happened."

Song Qingyue closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep, her dream was full of images from her previous life.

I really miss the stable and secure past life!

Eh!
I hope that my father can keep the bottom line of morality. It is the most regrettable thing for a capable minister to become a treacherous minister. I also hope that Su Wang's mansion can show some conscience in the future, and never cross the river to tear down bridges and kill donkeys.

"I'd rather suppress the Song family when King Su comes to power in the future, than you kill the Song family." Song Qingyue said sullenly.

Li Zhao sighed and hugged her tightly. Song Qingyue always thought far away.

Sometimes once a person reaches that position, even if he doesn't want to, he will be coerced by family members, faction members, hundreds of students, and subordinates to a certain end point.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, it was time for the new daughter-in-law to offer tea.

Madam Jiang from Yushengju came over early in the morning and said that Concubine Ning was not feeling well when she came to have a small day, so she didn't follow her to the main courtyard of the middle road to pay her respects.

Song Qingyue smiled, that person was also humiliated by Guo Yuner's affairs last time, she was so wronged, Li Zhao had never visited her in Yushengju, so he was showing his attitude to Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue was choosing the hairpin jewelry to wear today. After Li Zhao changed his clothes, he sat by the side holding the math problem set that Song Qingyue gave him while doing the problems and waiting for her.

After this quarrel, Li Zhao learned from the pain, and became more and more eager to understand Song Qingyue, understand her heart, and understand the world she knew.

Now he understands a little bit, it is useless to force Song Qingyue to bow her head to him, this little woman looks soft, but in fact she has an extremely tough temper.

If he wanted to get into her heart, he had to understand what she was thinking.

Song Qingyue put the hairpin on her hair and gestured, while she said slowly: "Your Highness, I was thinking, how about handing over part of the management power on the East Road side to Concubine Ning?"

Li Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "You can decide the affairs of the mansion."

Song Qingyue still had the same train of thought, she had to find something to do for others, otherwise she would always be thinking about men, and would complain even if she wasn't depressed, but she couldn't force Ning Yueyao to attend classes or take exams, as that dowry is generous Now, since there is no shortage of money, it is better to hand over some of the management power in the mansion, anyway, I don't expect the mansion to live on such a little oil and water.

"I want to hand over the sewing room to her," Song Qingyue said.

Li Zhao still said the same thing: "It's up to you to decide."

Song Qingyue sighed softly, turned to look at him and said, "I want to give up part of the management power in your name!"

"Why?" He finally raised his head.

Song Qingyue just pursed her lips and didn't answer.

She knew what she was thinking even if she didn't mention Li Zhao, she just wanted to do favors for him, she shook her head and said, "What are you doing so carelessly? She insisted on marrying me as a concubine at the beginning, but now she has been benevolent. Ren, Yue'er, don't interfere as you want as a husband, but I don't want to mess up the rules here."

"Understood." Song Qingyue lowered her head and said.

Li Zhao pinched her cheek: "I know that my wife is kind, but there is no need to be kind. My cousin has a bad temper, so I have to grind it out."

"En." Song Qingyue replied in a low voice.

Li Zhao walked behind her, picked out earrings for her, pointed to a pair of gold and pearl-studded tassel earrings and said, "This is good." He put them on for her, put his hands on her shoulders and looked into the mirror, very satisfied, and then Whispering to her ear, she said, "Think less about what you don't have, and think more about useful things."

"for example?"

"For example, how to please your husband." He blew into her ear.

The tingling sensation rushed from the palm of the hand to the scalp, Song Qingyue dodged, surrounded by his arms, and the servants in the room bowed their heads one by one.But everyone is already used to it. His Royal Highness's behavior of doting on his concubine never avoids his servants.

"Who wants to curry favor with you! Go away!" Song Qingyue said angrily.

"Alright, it's because my husband wants to please my wife." Li Zhao coaxed her in a good-tempered manner, and continued to kiss her neck.

"Relax! You'll be late if your hair gets messed up!" She stared with wide eyes.

Li Zhao saw her baring her teeth and claws like a kitten with fried fur, but her small white ears were shining red in the sunlight coming in from the window. He pecked her on the cheek, laughed, and relaxed in a good mood. her.

Song Qingyue sighed in her heart, Li Zhao is really good when he is good, and really bad when he is bad. His shortcomings and advantages are obvious, and people love and hate him.

~

In the main courtyard of the middle road, the new daughter-in-law offers tea.

Fang Yilan still looks like Song Qingyue saw her in the palace before, with an apple face, full of smiles, the girl's cuteness has not decreased compared to two years ago, and now there is more of a little woman's softness.

The fourth son Li Min also looked very satisfied with her, holding her hand intimately, looking at her with eyes full of love.

Seeing this, King Su was very happy, so he took some good things from his storehouse to reward Fang Yilan. Seeing that the prince rewarded her, the princess followed her to reward her.

Not to mention whether the prince doesn't care about his sons or not, he is really kind to his daughters-in-law.

Before the meeting ended, he also told the third and fourth couple: "Take your second brother as a warning, and learn more from your elder brother. The concubine's room should be given medicine. If you don't want to drink medicine in the concubine's room, don't go there first. Let’s talk about it when the first wife is pregnant. It’s still the same sentence, the rules can’t be messed up!”

"Yes, my son will bear in mind his father's instructions, and he will learn from his eldest brother, take good care of his wife, and not let her be wronged." The fourth son replied very obediently.

Li Yi was on the sidelines and was about to blow his hair again, but was glared at by Princess Xiao Ning, and suppressed the words that were about to blurt out, but his handsome face that was still a little immature turned red.

Li Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to this younger brother who was doted on by his concubine. He stared at the fourth younger brother and looked at him carefully. He always felt that he was a little different from the past.

After the big wedding of the four sons, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be on August [-]th.

The stewards and servants in the palace started busy preparations again.

There is a palace banquet at noon on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a more grand family banquet in the evening. At that time, everyone above the ceremony must participate.

There are a lot of banquets in various houses recently. As the saying goes, Song Qingyue has to go when he is in charge of politics. There are also many miscellaneous things in the house. If you want to make some new inventions, you only have time at night.

But Song Qingyue really couldn't bear the dim and flickering candlelight, and wanted to do something at night, write and draw or something, and her eyes hurt after a little longer.

It is not an exaggeration to say in the book that the old mother sewed her eyes up in order to sew clothes for her son. In this day and age, a luxurious family like the palace, who doesn't care whether to waste candles, is so dark that Song Qingyue can't stand it.

The candles must have been lit too much, and the smoke was unbearable, and it was too hot.Song Qingyue changed the previous five-headed oil lamp to an alcohol one, so the smell of oily smoke was lighter.

In addition, people have to go to Jiangxi to look for tungsten ore and oil.

She remembered seeing it in some miscellaneous journal before. It was recorded in the Song Dynasty that a black lake was found in a certain place. The black water was viscous and flammable.

This is oil!

So Song Qingyue called Li Zhao, and first asked him to help order a batch of stationery, rulers, triangles, protractors made of transparent glass, compasses made of fine iron, and special thick and smooth paper.

Compared with rice paper, there is one more drying and pressing process.

"This is easy to handle." Li Zhao said with a smile.

"Besides, if Your Highness still has staff, I would like to find two things." Song Qingyue said with some embarrassment, because she was about to say something very strange to ordinary people.

"The same is tungsten ore, mainly in two forms. I have written what it looks like here. It is located in a mountain in the southwest of Jiangxi, but I don't know which mountain it is."

The corner of Li Zhao's mouth twitched, Jiangxi was full of mountains, this was really difficult, he took out a key from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Wanfu, asking him to go to the study to get the map himself.

The map is a strategic item in this era, and it cannot be easily shown to others, but he still took it like this and showed it to Song Qingyue boldly.

Song Qingyue took a closer look and found Ji'an Mansion and Gannan Mansion!Ah, these two place names have not been changed for hundreds of years, thank God, I am a little excited!

So she used a pencil to lightly draw a not-so-small circle at the place west of the middle of Ji'an Mansion and Ganzhou Mansion, which is about to border with Huguang Province, and said: "It should be about this range."

When the Red Army was in the revolutionary base area, it earned a lot of military expenses by selling tungsten ore.

When I went to Jinggangshan to receive red education in my previous life, I took a self-driving tour, and she did the strategy by herself. The hard work was not in vain!Look, this will come in handy!
"Is there anything else I should look for?" Li Zhao asked.

"You still have people?" Song Qingyue was surprised.

Li Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said, "If we are also in the south, we must have enough people."

Does this mean that the entire south is the territory of King Su's Mansion?
Song Qingyue didn't bother to think about it, and continued: "Isn't there a 'Fire in the Lake' and 'Fire in the Lake' in the Book of Changes? I want to find that kind of small black lake. It is black and very sticky. To burn, something called oil."

Li Zhao said disapprovingly: "Isn't it the oil lake in the area of ​​Yan'an Mansion? That lake is now in the hands of the imperial court, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for mining and using it. It is used in gunpowder and lubricated some machinery. Can't get it."

"Ah, it's already in use!?" Song Qingyue was shocked.

Li Zhao pinched her face: "Why are you so surprised?"

Words such as Daqing, Liaohe, and Karamay appeared in Song Qingyue's mind. After all, they probably had no ability to mine them. There was also natural gas and so on. The equipment was not available. It would be a waste to release the gas, and it would also be harmful to the environment. destruction.

Sighing regretfully, wait a little longer.

Within two days, Li Zhao brought the newly made transparent glass scale and finished the alcohol lamp.

The efficiency is really high!

Song Qingyue excitedly turned on the lights that night and drew a foot-operated rice transplanting machine.

"What is this?"

"For transplanting rice seedlings!" Song Qingyue said with bright eyes, she felt that she was definitely given a skill point by God in terms of machinery.

"This..." Li Zhao looked at the detailed structure diagram of the iron chain belt, and felt that even if it was made, the cost would be horribly high and it would be easily damaged. However, he still couldn't bear to dampen the enthusiasm of the lady, so he tried his best to understate it. : "I'll try my best to let people try it, but this place may not be able to do it."

"Wait a minute, I'll change it to a gear set." After Song Qingyue finished speaking, she wanted to continue, but was picked up by Li Zhao: "Still painting? If you don't sleep, it will be dawn!"

As he spoke, he lifted him up, and just forcibly got him into the dormitory.

 By the way, emmm, it’s normal for couples to quarrel and fight. Song Qingyue and Li Gouzi are still in the running-in stage. After all, they haven’t been in a relationship before, and they’ve only been married for a little over a year. During this period, Li Gouzi was on a business trip More than half a year.

  Li Gouzi is a bit more controlling, but he will be much more honest after this quarrel.

  It is really not easy for two people with completely different growth experiences, three views, and visions to be together.

  If you want to be together harmoniously, you always need a little bit of testing, and slowly accommodate each other, and finally know how to live in harmony with each other.

  Although Li Gouzi is a dog, he is not a person who is unwilling to give up even a single step. In fact, he is constantly giving in, constantly looking for the correct way to live in harmony with Song Qingyue.

  Song Qingyue is the same, constantly looking for the right way to get along with Li Zhao.

  Some people parted ways after arguing and arguing, and some people will become more and more quarreling and more loving~ The key is to see whether each other is willing to take a step back after the quarrel, feel that they are always right, and expect unilateral concessions It's unrealistic.
