Zhu Cixuan felt happy and waved his hand to signal Li Jie to get up.

Zhu Cixuan turned to Yin Xianmin and said: "General Yin, everyone should abide by the orders of Magistrate Chen. You are doing the right thing."

Xianmin Yin knew that Zhu Cixuan was engaged to the eldest daughter of the prefect Chen's family. Although he had a bad impression of Zhu Cixuan in the past, he felt good after hearing what he just said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding your humble position."

Zhu Cixuan waved to Li Jie, and the group bid farewell to Yin Xianmin and walked slowly toward the palace.

Zhu Cixuan said to Li Jie: "Li Jie, tell me the situation of the Quan'er family in detail."

Li Jie cleared his throat, saluted and began to speak: "Your Majesty, I set out from the Wang Mansion on September 18th, passed through Changsha Mansion on the official road, and arrived at Taoyuan County from Changde Mansion on September 26th. After many inquiries on the second day,

I found Quan'er's parents and family in the afternoon.

The crown prince, Quan'er's home is located in Qingxi Village at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. When she came to Quan'er's home from her humble job, Quan'er's mother was bedridden because she missed her daughter all the time and was tired from life.

After Beizi explained his intentions, the family was overjoyed. Tsuen'er's father killed chickens and sold wine to entertain Beizi, and allowed Beizi to stay at home.

Your Majesty, I see from my humble position that Quan'er's parents live in poverty. The local landlords always add the three-year pay increase to the tenants.

The next day, my father, who accompanied Quan'er at his humble job, went to the town to invite a doctor. When the doctor arrived home, he diagnosed and treated Quan'er's mother. He said that the cause of the illness was that he missed his daughter too much, was too tired on weekdays, and suffered from depression, so he prescribed several medications.

Medicine.

Your Majesty, the doctor whispered to Quan'er's father and his humble position that Quan'er's mother is extremely weak and may not be able to survive this age.

Therefore, I set off for Changsha Mansion on September 29th. I just arrived, hoping that I will not delay the prince."

Zhu Cixuan nodded: "Li Jie, you have done your job well, and you will be promoted to captain of the guard from now on. Come with me to the palace to talk to Quan'er directly. My dear friend, Li Jie is loyal to his duty, and I will reward you with ten taels of silver."

Li Jie was overjoyed. Not only was he promoted to captain of the bodyguard by Zhu Cixuan, but the ten taels of silver were already his five-month salary. He quickly saluted Zhu Cixuan and respectfully accepted the silver taels handed over by Deng Zhong.

Li Jie thought to himself: "It would be great if the prince had ten or eight favored maids, and they would all send me to find my relatives..."

"A Prince Ji's Mansion is half of Changsha City." Everyone had walked not far and had reached the south gate of the Prince's Mansion.

After Zhu Cixuan returned to the palace, he said hello to his father, queen and mother, and then walked back to his living hall. Deng Zhong and others stood outside the palace door.

Quan'er put down the tiger skin she was sewing, saluted Zhu Cixuan and said, "Your Majesty, you are back."

Zhu Cizhen pulled up Quan'er who was saluting: "Quan'er, your parents and family have been found." He waved to the guard Li Jie and motioned for him to come into the palace.

Quan'er was surprised, happy and worried, her heart felt like it was in the clouds. After serving Zhu Cixuan a cup of tea, she stood behind Zhu Cixuan and listened carefully to Li Jie's story.

After Li Jie finished speaking, Quan'er burst into tears. After a while, she asked many detailed questions about her family, such as the weight of her parents, her mother's illness, the height and appearance of her younger siblings, and even the peach tree in her yard.

Li Jie was told by Zhu Cixuan that he only said that Quan'er's mother was sick, but he did not dare to say what the doctor said.

After Li Jie finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Cixuan and saw him nodding. Li Jie bowed and left the hall.

Zhu Cixuan drank a few sips of tea and saw that Quan'er was not so agitated anymore, so he said:

"Quan'er, do you want to see your parents and family?"

Quan'er cried: "Your Majesty, I want to see you."

Zhu Cizhen reached out and pulled Quan'er into his arms, and said with a smile: "But I can't bear to not have you by my side all day long, what should I do?"

Quan'er's heart was full of emotions, and she wanted to beg Zhu Cixuan to let her go back to her hometown to see her relatives, but she couldn't say it out.

Zhu Cizhen kissed Quan'er's cherry lips and said in her ear: "How about we bring your family to Changsha Mansion? Become a tenant of my Prince Ji's Mansion, so that you can often see your family.

Quan'er was overjoyed, threw herself into Zhu Cixuan's arms, hugged his waist with both hands, and choked with sobs:

"How can this servant repay the prince's great kindness?"

Zhu Cixuan felt that Quan'er's delicate body in his arms was trembling slightly, and the jade cheek next to him became hot.

Zhu Cixuan's heart also became hot. However, when he thought of Chen Meijing and his own worries, his reason finally overcame his emotions and he suppressed the desire in his heart.

"Quan'er, didn't you say you wanted to serve me for the rest of your life? Bringing your parents and family here is just a piece of cake for me."

The two hugged each other and talked about love for a while.

The next day, bodyguard Li Jie led a team of 12 guards to Taoyuan County to pick up Quan'er's family.

In the following days, Zhu Cixuan spent most of his time talking with Song Yingxing about production processes and planning the expansion of the industrial park.

Song Yingxing is worthy of being a technological master of this era. He has a deep understanding of almost all production industries, and is especially good at agriculture and handicrafts.

Zhu Cixuan's cross-generational knowledge often shocked Song Yingxing and greatly inspired him. Zhu Cixuan's thinking and actions also made Song Yingxing feel his true respect for scientific and technological talents. This is extremely rare in an official-oriented society.<

Both of them felt that they had met too late.

Zhu Cixuan said: "Mr. Song, I will leave all improvements and innovations in production technology to you. Funds and manpower are at your disposal. Whatever conditions are needed, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you."

Song Yingxing saluted and said: "Thank you for your kindness and strong support. Your Majesty has great insights. Many of your insights have suddenly opened up for me and I have seen a new world. I am very lucky to be able to serve your Majesty and benefit the people."

Zhu Cixuan: "Mr. Song, only the first phase of the sugar factory has been built in this feudal industrial park. The products are too few. Although the profits are huge, the channels are too single.

Is there any good way for Mr. Song to expand his financial resources?"

Song Yingxing had thought about this issue in the past few days, and immediately said: "I would like to inform you that the industrial park system established by the Crown Prince is extremely reasonable, the production technology is advanced, and the workers are highly motivated to work.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

If you want to increase the profit sources of industrial parks, there are many ways.

One: You can refine sugar by yourself in the sugar factory, which can save more than double the cost of raw materials, which can be turned into profits.

Second: The textile factory can be used as the second phase of the industrial park. The silk, satin cloth and other products produced by the textile industry are sold all over the country and are also snapped up by Western businessmen, with extremely high profits.

Third: I have inspected the Wangfu fiefdom and Changsha Prefecture in the past few days, and found that agricultural production techniques are quite backward, and water conservancy projects are almost zero.

Improvements in this area can greatly increase the output of grain and other agricultural products."

After hearing this, Zhu Cixuan was overjoyed and immediately said to Deng Zhong, who was waiting next to him: "Dad companion, from now on, I will listen to Mr. Song in terms of production technology. His words are my words. You must implement them effectively, understand?"

Deng Zhong quickly bowed and agreed.

Zhu Cixuan turned to Song Yingxing and said: "Mr. Song, I have appointed you as the general manager of the industrial park. You will be fully responsible for all production matters. In addition to the salary of twelve taels per month, there will be a bonus at the end of the year."

In the Ming Dynasty, salaries were set at extremely low levels starting from Taizu, which was one of the reasons why corrupt officials were killed endlessly. The monthly salary of twelve taels was already on par with the salary of fourth-grade officials.

Song Yingxing didn't care much about his salary, and the prince had already provided his family with a "luxury house", which would be enough to live a worry-free life. What he valued was that his scientific and technological talents could be used to benefit the people, so he readily agreed.

Deng Zhong smiled and said: "Mr. Song, congratulations. It's really rare for the prince to think so highly of you."

The envy on his face is beyond words.
