Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 75
Zhu Di: "It's a simple matter. The king sent craftsmen from the Gongzheng Institute to build a house for the giant iron furnace."

Zhong Huo wondered: "Your Highness, if you want to build a house for a giant iron-smelting furnace, you need at least about three feet in height. For ordinary wooden houses, villains are worried that they will not be strong, and they will fall down when the wind blows!"

"A house three feet high..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was also a little embarrassed.

Zhong Huo, on the other hand, was already slowly looking at Guo An, who was dozing aside.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then remembered something, and looked at Guo An strangely.

"At this point, do you have a solution?"

"Your Highness, this..."

Things happened so fast that Guo An couldn't react.

Zhu Di said directly: "100 taels of silver!"

"Your Highness?"

"not enough?"

"Uh... that's enough, enough!"

"So you have a way?"

Guo An gave a helpless wry smile, and said, "His Royal Highness, this matter should be resolved by the officials, but it will take some time, and some old craftsmen are needed to help the officials to study something!"

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Di said, "How many people do you want?"

Guo An said: "This... let's start with ten!"

Zhu Di nodded casually, "Yes! When you have time, let Zhu Liang or Li Wang take you to pick someone!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhong Huo again, "What's the problem?"

This time, Zhong Huo shook his head hastily, no matter how difficult it was, it was because he was incompetent.

Seeing this, Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction and didn't think about it any more.

In this way, after waiting for about half an hour, the sky began to brighten slightly.

Zhu Di directly walked back with Guo An, Zhu Fu and the others, as well as the ten steel knives.

Back in the mansion, Guo An washed up, had a meal, and then took Guo Erniu to the county government.

Click!

Then he hid alone in the back house of the county government office, sleeping and fishing.

As for the government affairs in the county government, Guo An was completely relieved after having the two county magistrates and master Bo.

Anyway, the Wanping County Yamen is basically of the same mind now.

If there is any matter, Liufang scribe and Dianshi Wang Zhen will come to him.

To put it bluntly, Han Zhiren and Shi Dazhen really came to work.

On the second day, Zhu Di sent someone to send 100 taels of silver.

After that, Guo An's life seemed to return to calm.

As for the solution that Zhu Di asked him to help think of at night in the Iron Smelting Works, Guo An just asked Zhong Huo and others to forge a few steel plates first, and built a shed on the loud iron smelting furnace, as long as it rains and does not affect the work. That's it.

But if you want to completely build a sturdy and durable house for a giant iron-making furnace, it is not as simple as improving the speed and quality of iron-making.

Guo An was really exhausted from the intensive labor for more than a month, and Guo An decided to take a good rest these days.

However, Guo An has not been at ease for two days.

An old man from Guo Village, Shunde Prefecture directly made Guo An restless.

"Master, the master has sent money again."

On the contrary, Guo Erniu looked at the 100 taels of silver and 200 taels of treasure notes on the table, his face beaming with joy.

In front of Guo An, there was an old man with a thin figure, looking at Guo An with a face full of relief.

Guo Lin, the old housekeeper of the Guo Mansion in Guo Village.

Well, Guo An, Guo Erniu and others were also raised by this housekeeper.

Seeing that Guo An had finished reading the letter in his hand, Guo Lin looked at Guo An with a face of relief, and said, "Master, since the master knew that you became the magistrate of Wanping County, the master was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night.

Now, hearing that you are deeply trusted by His Royal Highness King Yan, I specially sent a villain to send some money to the young master, so that the young master can make more colleagues.

The master also said that if the young master is short of money, just talk to the family, the family still has some family background, but don't be like those officials, search for the people's fat and anointing, otherwise the family will be ransacked and exterminated..."

"In addition, some of the master's friends came to find the master after hearing that the young master was promoted, and wanted to marry the girl in the family to the young master.

The master's intentions were clearly explained to the young master in the letter, so the villain will not say more! "

"However, young master, please don't think that the villain is too talkative. According to the villain's observation, this time, the master and madam seem to be really determined to find a young wife for the young master.

The young master should stop resisting, the young master should have married and had children long ago..."

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Guo An couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle Lin, there are no burly ladies from gentry and rich families this time, right?" Guo An asked cautiously.

In Guo An's memory, there was a gentry woman from a neighboring village who was three times his horizontal size, and was directly led to his house by the gentry master.

And the girl's actions after seeing Guo An directly frightened the naive Guo An for three days.

"Don't worry, young master!"

Speaking of this, a hint of arrogance flashed in Guo Lin's eyes, "The young master had no fame before, so the master allows those gentry officials who have good personal relationships to come and get married.

Now, the young master is a majestic Wanping county magistrate, and he is deeply trusted by His Royal Highness King Yan. Those who can enter the eyes of the master can only be the daughters of those official families. "

"That's good!"

Guo An subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master's intention?"

Guo Lin's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

He has seen with his own eyes, since the incident happened a few years ago, his young master rejected those gentry officials and those women from his family.

On the way here, he even memorized several articles, just to persuade him.

And now, the young master agrees?
Guo An nodded slightly. He really agreed. Anyway, as long as his appearance is good and his heart is kind, he will not pick.

"Hahaha, the young master finally figured it out, the villain will go back and tell the young master and his wife what the young master thinks.

Master and Madam will be happy to pay homage to their ancestors..."

After speaking, Guo Lin, who had just entered for half an hour, walked out with a happy face.

Inside the room, Guo An was startled, "Uncle Lin, you haven't asked my request yet."

"Require?"

Guo Lin, who had already stepped half of his foot out of the threshold, quickly retracted it.

"The villain is confused. If the young master has any request, just say it bluntly. The master and wife will definitely respect the young master's wishes."

"Lin Bo, I don't care about family background, but appearance and heart must be kind..."

Guo An's face was a little feverish, and he always felt that this was weird, but he had to say that although three wives and four concubines are allowed in this era, the first possession is the most important.

He was really afraid of his cheap father, in order to help him find a wife who could destroy him with one punch!

"Haha, don't worry, young master, the master and wife are very careful this time, and will find out about the girl's appearance and character in advance!"

"Thank you Lin Bo."

"Eh... the young master would never dare to be so polite."

"And Lin Bo, when you come next time, you don't need to bring money, I'm not short of money anymore!"

"Aren't you short of money?"

"Ok!"

"..."

Lin Bo came fast and left fast.

After Lin Bo left, Guo An had an inexplicable dream at night.
