Eight hundred and thirtieth eight chapters generation gap
Zhou Shuren said: "Sir, I didn't find anything. I just heard that the Lord was pressing the Ministry of Works to apply for a remittance for money, so I want to ask."
Xiao Qing breathed out. The capital city has been very nervous recently. He also had a string of tension. It was not a big deal. "Last time, the Ministry of Works has applied for money too frequently, saying it is to improve technology. Haha, the prince said hello before. I have approved it twice, but no waves were made. The money from the Ministry of Revenue is used on the edge. It is not enough for the Ministry of Works to waste money like this."
Zhou Shuren was a little depressed and wanted to vomit blood. He had to constantly experiment with any technology. Every experiment was full of money, and if he wanted to make progress, he had to spend money. Originally, he blew a lot of wind in the prince's ears. The prince was very concerned about the Ministry of Works, but he ignored Lord Xiao.
Only then did Zhou Shuren deeply realize that what was different between him and Lord Xiao was not only his thoughts, but also the distance between the times. The generation gap of hundreds of years was not something he could easily change.
Since Lord Xiao was the Minister of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue has never been rich. This money is very important in Lord Xiao's heart. In addition to his inherent ideas, it is because of the prince's prejudice that Lord Xiao can approve money twice.
Xiao Qing's attitude was very firm. He knew that Zhou Shuren was good at the Ministry of Industry, but there were too many places to use silver across the country. He was really afraid of days without money. "Shuren, I know you value the Ministry of Industry, but the official of this bank will not approve it."
Anyway, he would not criticize him when he was in office. As for the future, that would be Zhou Shuren's business.
After hearing this, Zhou Shuren didn't want to try to persuade Lord Xiao because it was useless. Different departments thought differently, "You are busy, sir."
Xiao Qing nodded, "Yes."
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came home and saw the glass in his wife's hand. He was stunned, "Where did this thing come from?"
Zhulan looked at the glass with low transparency and kept stunned, and said to herself: "I didn't ask the Xu family to help buy wood. When the Xu family came back from the sea to deliver wood, they gave these two cups."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to pick it up and read it. It was really rough and quite artistic. "This thing is not cheap abroad."
Put down the cup of bamboo orchid, "It's much cheaper than what you sell in Beijing stores."
When Zhou Shuren thought of Lord Xiao’s attitude today, he sighed: “When can we build our own country by ourselves.”
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren really don’t care about these two cups. You expect modern people to care about two glasses. Don’t dream about it, and signal to Mrs. Song to put it away.
Zhulan said again: "Zhang Jinghong is back."
Zhou Shuren was surprised, "How did you know the news?"
Why didn't he hear it?
Zhulan chuckled, "Don't underestimate me, don't look at me in the backyard, but I'm very informed. Since I came to the capital, I have calmed down my mind and always paid attention to the movements and movements in the capital."
She knows too much that sometimes small news can affect too many things.
Zhou Shuren changed his clothes, "What else have you found out?"
Zhulan took the clothes and said, "Zhang Jinghong was carried out of the palace and was said to have suffered serious injuries."
Zhou Shuren raised a thumbs up, "I know very well, it's amazing."
In order to get more news, Zhulan has also put a lot of effort into choosing smart people from the servants and loyal people. Her efforts are not in vain.
In fact, these news are not a secret, and the noise in the Fifth Prince's Mansion is too loud.
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to change her clothes, "We are all waiting for us to have dinner. Your eldest grandson is here and I'm talking about you a lot all afternoon."
Zhou Shuren smiled deeper when he thought of his grandson. Every time his eldest daughter wrote a letter, the eldest grandson would add a few strokes. People's feelings are all caused by getting along with each other. The child's feelings for him can be seen between the lines, "Okay."
At the dinner table, Zhou Shuren patted the seat beside him and said to his shy grandson: "Come and sit down."
Jiang Du looked at the big cousin who was making way out of the position, and was a little confused. Grandpa liked him, and he was happy, but he occupied the big cousin's position. He felt like he had snatched something, and his face turned red.
Mingyun came back from school and although he didn't communicate much with his cousin, he knew enough about this cousin. He knew in his heart that his cousin was worried and smiled and pulled his cousin over, "Sit down quickly, don't be restrained by the whole family."
It turned out that Jiang Du was sitting in Mingteng's position, and he was only close to Zhou Shuren from Mingyun.
This makes the arrangements OK. Mingyun, the eldest grandson, is recognized by several houses.
Jiang Du sat down and looked at his uncles. The uncles looked at him with all their encouragement eyes. His nervous heart disappeared, and his butt was relaxed and he sat on the chair with his butt.
Zhou Shuren asked his grandson to be around him, just hoping to give the child some confidence and relax. Unexpectedly, he became more reserved and could only say to his eldest grandson: "Your cousin is familiar with you at home these two days, and you will be sent to the academy in two days. At that time, grandpa will hand over Jiang Du to you for your care."
Mingyun smiled, "Grandpa, grandson will take good care of my cousin, don't worry."
Zhou Shuren was relieved to his eldest grandson and said to his grandson: "This is also your home. You are going home, not a guest. If you have any trouble getting used to it, tell your grandparents."
Jiang Du had already relaxed, and he felt the welcome to him, "Yeah."
He had received many gifts. His uncle and aunt gave him pens, ink, paper and inkstones, his second aunt and second uncle gave him purse, which contained silver notes, jade pendants from his third aunt, his fourth aunt gave him a bag of golden beans, and his fourth uncle gave him a lot of copybooks.
My third uncle also made up for the gift when he came back from the Hanlin Academy, and the one he gave him was a book.
My cousin and my cousin also gave him something after school. My cousin gave me reading notes compiled by my cousin, and the same is true for Mingteng and Mingrui.
In fact, he was a little scared, well, he was scared by his fourth aunt. I heard from my mother that the fourth aunt had the most money, but he was still shocked by his fourth aunt's heroic spirit.
Zhou Shuren asked about his grandson’s learning at the dinner table. His grandson knew about these things. If he had topics to talk about, his grandson became more and more relaxed.
After dinner, Zhou Shuren took his grandson to the study room again. Seeing his grandson tightly clenched his hands, he laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, it seems like your grandfather is so serious."
Mingteng kept rolling his eyes in his heart. This was the smell of distant fragrance and near. Grandpa was so kind that his grandson, whom he had finally seen, was so kind!
Jiang Du smiled slightly. He was no longer nervous after hearing his grandfather's words, "Grandpa, I'm not nervous anymore."
Zhou Shuren looked at the funny Mingteng in his heart and remembered a note. Since Ran Xun came to the capital, this kid has become more and more courageous. He feels like he can't see it.
