Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

In most cases, at the dinner table in the business field, there is always a toast between you and me. Harofa has been in business for a long time and is well versed in this.But today, he prayed to God a hundred times, not to drink, he just wants to eat well.

The dishes on the table are full of flavors and flavors, and he wants to taste them quietly.

Tong Ran didn't like wine table culture very much, so he really didn't prepare wine, except for introducing a few dishes to Harofa, he didn't talk much, and Harofa had enough time to taste the delicacies.When eating, the most talked about is that this is delicious, and that is also delicious. Mr. Tong, your canteen is a miracle bestowed by God on earth!

Tong Ran smiled and said nothing, complaining crazily in his stomach, that is the cook he hired with money, and he takes care of everything on God, what a stinking problem.

The little tiger ate the meat that was prepared and sent by the government office. Today, there are goose, pork, fish and shrimp, as well as custard, and soup made from oxtail.While eating, Halofa did not forget to peek at the little tiger eating.

This tiger is not simple, it not only eats while sitting on a chair, but also has someone serving it.There were several dishes in front of it, and the tiger couldn't use chopsticks, so naturally it couldn't reach it, so the servants around it would put everything on the plate for it, and the tiger just had to lower its head to eat the plate in front of it.

The order in which the servant puts the dishes seems to be particular, it doesn't always take turns one by one, it seems... is he watching the tiger's eyes?

Halofa paid attention for a while, the tiger's eyes were big and round, and it was very easy to distinguish where it was looking. on the plate in front of it.

This is too particular, how is such a tiger trained?Halofa glanced at Tong Ran who was sitting next to the tiger.

Tong Ran seemed to sense his gaze, and smiled at him: "Master Ha, is there enough food?" Halofa ate a bit ferociously, and Tong Ran was worried that the food on the table was not enough for him.

"Enough is enough, Mr. Xie Tong." Halofa said, "I just want to ask, is this tiger trained by your lord?"

Tong Ran glanced at the little tiger, understood it, and said with a smile: "There is no special training, maybe because it has lived with me since childhood, and gradually learned the habits of many people."

Halofa nodded, and praised a few more words.

Apart from saying something when Fan Heng was seated, he continued to eat on his own afterwards.Halofa loves to eat, as long as the food is delicious, he won't mind if you leave him alone.Fan Heng was simply happy and relaxed.

As for the tiger, such a behavior can't be raised after staying with people for a long time.

There are so many cats and dogs that live with people, and many are pampered, but there is absolutely no other cat and dog that is as meticulous as this tiger.

At first, he only thought that Tong Ran's tiger was special and might be extraordinarily smart, but then he gradually didn't think so.The first time he had doubts was when he found the quill that His Majesty wanted from Tong Ran.

Later, Tong Ran communicated through the jade pendant, and when His Majesty sent him to get the letter, he suspected that the jade pendant given by the national teacher might not only serve this purpose.

His Majesty is suspicious, and his trust in Tong Ran has surpassed that of ordinary courtiers.

But if His Majesty is actually with him every day, then it is not surprising that he has a little more trust in him.Through observation these days, Fan Heng became more and more convinced of this.

In fact, His Majesty has not always been so suspicious.When he was young, His Majesty was very similar to this tiger cub. He was picky, fastidious, a little domineering, but smart and cute. The former empress and the first prince treated him very well, and he lived up to expectations. At the age of 14, he was the seed of righteousness, a rare genius .

It's a pity that the former empress and the former prince left one after another that year, and His Majesty's temperament suddenly became reserved and silent, even a little cloudy and uncertain.

Fan Heng came to Chu Jun a little later than Su Jin, and he was more accepting of such a change. Su Jin, who grew up with Chu Jun, shook his head and sighed many times in private, feeling sorry for the man on the throne. .

I don't know what method the national teacher used to make His Majesty look like this.To say something presumptuous, when seeing His Majesty regain such ease, Fan Heng was really happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

To put it even more presumptuously, this tiger cub is so cute that he couldn't help but want to pet it.

The little tiger was halfway through his meal, and felt that someone was watching him.It glanced in that direction, and first saw Harofa, who was busy eating while peeping at it.Looking over again, he met Fan Heng's gaze again.

Fan Heng seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then nodded and lowered his gaze.

This guy probably knows.The little tiger ate a mouthful of goose meat brought by Holly.

He was not afraid that Fan Heng would know that apart from Su Jin, the person he trusted the most was Fan Heng, otherwise he would not have let him come out to take care of his business.Furthermore, even if he dared to let Fan Heng go out of the palace, he would not hold back anything. Fan Heng's family members were all taken care of by him.

Since his mother and elder brother left, he has been introspecting all the time, not daring to forget the burden on his shoulders for a moment.

Until he met Tong Ran, the tiger's skin allowed him to regain some of the sense of freedom he had when he was a child.

"Cub, eat and watch this." Tong Ran put a small piece of rabbit meat into the little tiger's bowl.The rabbit meat was seasoned, Tong Ran didn't dare to feed it more, so he just had a small piece.The meat he prepares for the little tiger is ordinary poultry and livestock, but the rabbit has never eaten it. If he likes it, he can add it to the menu in the future.

The little tiger took one look at him and ate it straight away.

"Master Tiger seems to like it." Dongqing said aside.

Tong Ran was very happy: "Order the kitchen, and I will often make rabbit meat for the cubs in the future."

After the business was concluded, Tong Ran was in a very good mood. With Harofa's cotton supply, his factory could run freely.When the production of this cotton cloth is on the right track, he can also make tools for picking cotton, so that there will be cotton blankets to use in winter.

After a good meal, the dishes on the table are swept away, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.

Halofa bid farewell to Tong Ran that afternoon and hurried back to stock up.Fan Heng also left on the same road as him. For some reason, before leaving, Fan Heng suddenly bowed to him solemnly.

Tong Ran hurriedly returned the gift.Then Fan Heng turned around and got into the car.

"Brother Fan, what happened just now?" Tong Ran hugged the little tiger and said to himself.

The little tiger wagged its tail: "Wow!" It wanted to go back to sleep, and there were still many papers that had not yet been approved.

When autumn was approaching, Tong Ran received news that coal mines had also been discovered on Lingxi Road next door, and there were two. The emperor had ordered local officials to organize mining, and all the officials from the Ministry of Industry who studied here were transferred back.

After the steam cotton gin in the cotton factory was completed, he asked Fu Xuan to lead the workers to build a steam pump to pump the accumulated water in the mine.

The workers of Jinhe Supervisor are familiar with the steam engine, which is quite normal, but outside of Jinhe Supervisor, there are still few people who understand the usefulness of the steam engine.Tong Ran intends to spread the technology, but he doesn't know how to do it.

Gu Lan reminded him that although this technology was developed by him, it was on the official mine supervisor. If you want to spread the technology, it is better to ask His Majesty for instructions.

Tong Ran thinks this is a good idea, allowing the emperor to use the power of the court to promote the steam engine, so that the steam power can really promote the development of Dacheng.

Tong Ran wrote a memorial and attached a design drawing, describing in detail the effectiveness of the steam engine, proposed to open the technology to the private sector, and sent officials to assist private companies in building factories, providing certain technical guidance and financial support.

When the memorial was sent to Chu Jun's desk, another round of disputes related to Tong Ran kicked off.

It wasn't because of the steam engine, the senior officials basically didn't understand these things, and the focus of their debate was the bumper harvest in Fuqiu Village, Xiaoguo County.

Here's the thing.

After the autumn harvest, all localities will pay taxes to the imperial court.Dacheng's land tax is two cents, that is, two dans of tax are paid for every hundred dans of grain.The tax and food paid will be sent to the household department first, and then distributed to various places by the household department.How much each household pays will be recorded and sent to the household department for verification together with the local grain.

When checking Jinhejian's taxes and grains, a secretary from the household department found that Xiaoguo County under Jinhejian's administration received [-]% more grain this year than last year.

As usual, he just thinks that the local year is good, and as long as the reported total is equal to the actual total delivered, he will not check the detailed accounts.But Wu Huan happened to have been to Xiaoguo County when he went up to the peak, and when he came back, he mentioned to them the terraced fields opened up in Xiaoguo County.

Thinking of this, he took a look at Xiaoguo County's detailed accounts, and it turned out that most of the [-]% of the grain came from Fuqiu Village, which opened up terraced fields.

Xiaoguo County actually harvested [-]% more food due to the strength of one village!After discovering this matter, Ling Shi dared not neglect it, so he quickly reported it to Wu Huan, who in turn reported it to the Minister of the Household Department, and finally passed the mouth of the Minister of the Household Department.

The increase in grain production is a great thing. The Minister of the Household Department Dangdian proposed that Tong Ran should be transferred to the Household Department, and he should be appointed as a member of the Household Department, Wailang, in charge of grain and water conservancy, and promote terraced fields nationwide.

The ministry of household said this, but the ministry of industry was not happy.

Tong Ran has always been famous for building various fortifications and inventing tools. Of course, such talents should enter their Ministry of Industry.Tong Ran is now at the local level, and he should go to Beijing to serve his life, so he also asked for an order to promote Tong Ran to be a member of the Ministry of Industry.

Both the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households wanted Tong Ran, and when the two refused to give in, a quarrel broke out in the palace.The noise made Chu Jun's head hurt.

He also wanted to promote Tong Ran, but firstly, Tong Ran enjoyed his time in Jinhe prison, and secondly, he really didn't decide which official position to give him, so he kept procrastinating.Unexpectedly, during the autumn harvest, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry quarreled over this matter.

This matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites, and people from both departments just watched from the sidelines.

The people from the military department took a peek at their boss Wu Li.The gunpowder invented by Tong Ran, as well as the design drawings of the guns given to them by His Majesty before, are very useful, and they have already produced several guns.

Yuanwailang, who is in charge of the military equipment manufacturing, mentioned several times that Tong Ran has more than these two designs in his hands, and he also looks forward to Tong Ran's entry to Beijing every day.Last time he went back to Jinhe Supervisor for an inspection, he also signed up, but because the staff was full, it was a pity that he didn't go.

At this time, Yuanwai Lang was also in the hall, he really wanted to urge Wu Li to get someone to the Ministry of War quickly!

However, Wu Li was calm and did not say anything, which made him blush with anxiety.

The author has something to say: Ran Ran will go to Beijing again soon~

Thank you for your support, okay!
