Chapter 417 Change a man for 'Drunk Hongchen'

After a long time, Li Shantang finally came to his senses, but his face was still a little red. Looking at Wang Xuan, he said dryly, "Zaizhi, this... this is too much. It's just a minister of the Ministry of War. It is estimated that 50 is enough." gone."

"Hahaha, not enough, not enough." Wang Xuan comforted Li Shantang with a smile, and the two came to the rest cabin. After the guests and hosts were seated, Wang Xuan continued: "You are the one with the highest position in the court of our department. , it’s not just a Minister of the Ministry of War, there are still many things to do, and it is always inevitable to spend money to make friends with powerful people.”

"Furthermore, when you are in office, firstly, making friends costs a lot, and secondly, you must keep your name clear, so that no one can easily catch you." Wang Xuan stretched out a finger, and continued: "I know, Your Excellency is upright and upright, this image must be maintained, we must not capsize in the gutter."

Even though Li Shantang has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, but he has just received finances worth no less than 200 million, and when he turns his head and is said to be upright and upright, he still can't help but blush, his skin is not thick enough.

"Don't worry, I won't be greedy for such small fortunes." Li Shantang quickly assured that with such a large amount of wealth in his hand, he really looked down on those three melons and two dates.

"I am relieved when Mr. Li said that. In addition, there are a few things left to Mr. Li to handle."

"Just say it."

Wang Xuan shouted loudly, "Hong Chen, come in."

There was only a creaking sound from the cabin door, and a charming woman in an apricot-yellow dress walked in. She was only about 19 years old, young and beautiful, but she revealed a coquettish attitude from the bottom of her heart. A charm that is not intentional but exudes naturally.

Zui Hongchen walked in and bowed slightly to Wang Xuan and Li Shantang, "I have seen the Lord, I have seen Master Li."

For more than three years, Zui Hongchen has been Wei Pengyun's wife and never shows up in public. Every day, he just plays with Wei Pengyun at home. Wang Xuan has already ordered him not to suck him up so early, just A while ago, the military power of the Jiufu in Fujian was taken down, and Wei Pengyun was really useless, and Wang Xuan also had a new arrangement for Zui Hongchen, so she let her do it.

After Wei Pengyun's death, Zui Hongchen also feigned death and escaped, returning to Wang Xuan's side.

Li Shantang gave Zui Hongchen a 'bad' look, and then he didn't dare to look any more, after all, he was brought by Wang Xuan, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, "Zaizhi, this is...?"

"This is Hongchen, one of my subordinates. Of course, that was before. Now she is a relative of Mr. Li's family. Let her be called 'Li Hongchen'. I hope he can marry to the crown prince as a side concubine."

"What?" Li Shantang was taken aback, he wanted to send it to the prince, what was he doing?Do you want to lay out in front of the next emperor in advance?
"I believe this is not a big problem." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

Li Shantang pondered for a moment with a solemn face, and then continued: "It's just one side of the concubine, the problem is not that big, but, after thinking about it, I know that the crown prince is not favored, although His Royal Highness the crown prince reluctantly Keeping the position, King Fu and Concubine Zheng backed down, but this can't change the emperor's attitude, even if he doesn't like the prince, I'm afraid things will have twists and turns."

What Li Shantang said is not wrong. It is true that the prince was born by accidental pregnancy when Wanli was playing with the Queen of the First Palace. He was not favored since he was a child. Unwilling to confer a rich burial, it was only under the pressure of Ye Xianggao and others that he reluctantly compromised and pursued a noble concubine.

It can be said that the prince has no foundation at all in the court, and the only one who occupies the title of the eldest son is the only one who can barely keep the position of the prince.

However, after so many years, because of Wanli and Concubine Zheng, the entire palace has no respect for the prince at all. Many people have repeatedly troubled the prince under the instruction of Concubine Zheng, hoping that the prince will make mistakes so that he can take the title of prince. .

What's more, the prince's mother was also killed by someone in the palace. It can be said that in the entire palace, there are almost no people who are close to the prince, but enemies abound.

I don’t know how many people don’t like the crown prince being able to take the throne in the end. Emperor Wanli is still healthy now. If it is the last season, some people may not take risks. After all, the crown prince must be on the throne, and those who had grudges with the crown prince in the palace will surely die without burial. land.

As for whether the crown prince will let them go... These people don't have such stupid ideas.

Not only that, Concubine Zheng Gui is not a vegetarian either, she has a team of people in the court, plus her status in the palace, it is not a queen who is better than a queen, how could she be willing to watch the crown prince ascend the throne and take revenge on her.

As for the prince himself, he has no real power, and only a mere title.

This situation is somewhat dangerous, Li Shantang had to remind Wang Xuan.

"It's okay, before the emperor dies, I will arrange some people to try to ensure the safety of the prince. As for after he ascends the throne, see, don't worry, the emperor can live for two years."

Wang Xuan said it lightly, but Li Shantang trembled when he heard it. It is too bold to say that the emperor can live for two years.

"Okay, don't worry, it's just a nail in the palace." Wang Xuan's reassurance was insincere, and Li Shantang was able to listen silently, "Okay, there are so many things, and I will also equip you with other things." Some masters can at least guarantee the safety of adults in the capital."

"Thank you Zaizhi, I will live up to what you entrusted." Li Shantang stood up and saluted with fists in his hands.

"Well, my lord, take care all the way, and I will go back."

Li Shantang sent Wang Xuan to the boat all the way, and then he bid farewell, and the big ship hoisted its sails and set sail.

While in the vast sea, Zui Hongchen was still thinking about the mission Wang Xuan gave her before.

"When you come to the prince's mansion, you must first win the favor of the other party, and then you have to pay attention to two people, one is 'Zhu Youxiao', the eldest son of the prince, born of the Wang family, and the other is 'Li Xuanshi', she is currently the most favored people."

"'Zhu Youxiao's biological mother 'Wang' was killed by Li Xuanshi. Now, Zhu Youxiao is being taken care of by Li Xuanshi. Your task is to take care of 'Zhu Youxiao' as much as possible and build a good relationship with her."

"Of course, it would be better if you can conceive the prince's child. Then everything will be easy to talk about. I will guarantee that your son will become an emperor in the future. If you don't conceive, then you will have a good relationship with Zhu Youxiao."

This task made Zui Hongchen feel a little troubled. She had never thought about giving birth to anyone before. She knew her status, so she didn't want to drag her own children down. But... if the prince can be the emperor in the future, it will Made her hesitate.

……

Outside the new city, the glass factory.

After Li Shantang left, Wang Xuan became busy again. Early this morning, someone from the glass factory came to report that the production process of large pieces of glass had matured.

The technology of glass is not complicated. Wang Xuan taught it early, but the early products can only be regarded as colored glaze, which is not pure and transparent enough. The technology needs a little improvement. The purity, smoothness, and production technology of large glass plates And so on have to be overcome, and finally is the mass production technology of the factory.

Glass is also a very important part of industrial products, with high profits and wide applications. Wang Xuan is still more concerned about it. No, he will come to see it as soon as it can be produced.

He stretched out his hand and knocked, the sound was very crisp and sweet, Wang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, finally figured it out, this thing is related to the people's livelihood of the country, it is very important, the window made of that piece of paper is really not very good, turn around and put the window in the mansion first. The windows were replaced."

"Okay sir, I will arrange for the first batch to be produced and delivered to the residence as soon as possible."

Wang Xuan walked in the front of the crowd, looked left and right and suddenly said: "By the way, is the mirror made yet?"

"Reporting to the master, there are some finished products, which are much better than bronze mirrors, but... the subordinates don't know if they can meet the requirements of the master." The master of the glass factory returned with a bow.

"Go and have a look."

A group of people came to another factory building. This is not a production workshop, but a test area. Many people are busy carrying out experiments with pieces of glass.

This group of people came in and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the person in charge hurriedly said loudly: "Mr. Wuzhou is here, why don't you hurry to greet him."

Hulala, a group of people hurriedly put down all the tools in their hands, knelt down on the ground and shouted respectfully: "I met Mr. Wuzhou."

"Okay, get up, how many times have I said, don't kneel down at every turn in the future." Wang Xuan raised his brows, "Show me how the mirror is doing."

A group of craftsmen got up one after another, and some of them quickly brought some test products to show Wang Xuan.

Sure enough, it is much better than the bronze mirror, but the clarity and smoothness are not up to standard, and the uneven thickness makes it look slightly deformed.

"If the silver-plating process on the back of the glass can't reach that level in a while, the plating on the other side is slightly thicker. Although it is a bit of a waste of silver, it can at least guarantee the fineness of the mirror. After silver plating, don’t forget to apply a thick layer of paint to prevent the silver from being worn.”

Although a little thicker coating will double the cost, but this kind of silver mirror is not sold to ordinary people in the first place, and the price is more than [-] times the price, Wang Xuan naturally doesn't care too much.

Putting down the mirror in his hand, Wang Xuan looked at these researchers and continued: "You researchers are all pillars of the country and treasures. As I said before, as long as the glass and silver mirrors are developed with mature industrial manufacturing Now, it is time to fulfill the promise, the two hosts, each with a thousand coins, and the rest will vary from [-] to [-] depending on the contribution."

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, these people immediately trembled with excitement, and the few who were more emotional couldn't help crying.
