The first snow in Qingzhou only lasted seven days, followed by another heavy snow covering Qingzhou.

But unlike the tranquility in the snow for the first time, Qingzhou City is a bit lively this time.

The Qin family bought all the rice wine in Qingzhou City and sent it to the Qi Palace. The incident caused a lot of controversy. Those who could not drink alcohol naturally scolded the Qin family and the Qi Palace.

But some people saw the strangeness and came to inquire about the news all night.

"Your Highness said that no one will see you, and no outsiders are allowed to enter the palace!"

At the gate of the Qi Prince's Mansion, Wang Shijie was blocked by Ziyuan, but he still didn't give up and looked inside.

Ziyuan pinched her slim waist with a solemn look on her face, and scolded: "Hey! Hey! Why are you still looking inside? Believe it or not, I will let Zhao Long and Zhao Hu throw you into the snow!"

If it were normal, Wang Shijie would have apologized with laughter and apologized, and also looked at Ziyuan for a full time before going back, but today is a little different.

The King of Qi went to the Qin family in person, and the next day, the Qin family bought wine in Qingzhou. There were rumors that the King of Qi was brewing a kind of fine wine and handing it over to the Qin family for sale.

As soon as this news came out, the Wang family naturally became uneasy. Since the King of Qi arrived in Qingzhou, the King of Qi trusted him and overwhelmed the Qin family every year. However, the King of Qi's current actions were quite unusual, and it seemed to be meaning to support the Qin family.

Wang Chengchou suddenly felt something was wrong. This was a sign that the Wang family would lose favor. He did not sleep all night and scolded Wang Shijie the next day, blaming him for being alienated from Xiao Ming, and asking him to go to the Qi Palace to get close to Xiao Ming immediately, and inquire about the wine.

And he went directly to the Qin family to taste whether the wine deserves its name.

"You girl, Your Highness treats me three points of courtesy. How dare you act in front of me?" Wang Shijie was anxious and couldn't help but speak.

Ziyuan is a girl brought out by Concubine Zhen. Her imperial power idea is deeply rooted, and the four major wealthy families in Qingzhou can only speak in Qingzhou.

It’s just a joke when you get it outside. At most, you are merchants and others. When you were in Chang'an, which family was not the three ministers of the past generations, and they occupied a place in the court.

She looked down on the Wang family from the bottom of her heart. When she was told this, Zi Yuan raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Bold, you don't even look at what this place, you dare to act here. Our highness is kind, do you think anyone in the Qi Palace is easy to bully?"

Wang Shijie's heart skipped a beat. Only then did he remember that Ziyuan and Luluo were the people around Zhenfei, and he was just a friend of Xiao Ming's wine and meat.

If he gets serious, he will definitely be in trouble.

He immediately laughed, "I hope Miss Aster has a lot. I was reckless just now. I asked Miss Aster to say to His Highness Wang Shijie to wait outside the door."

As he said that, Wang Shijie took out a ingot of silver from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"Hmph, you are still cognizable!" Zi Yuan glared at Wang Shijie, picked up the silver and turned around and entered the palace.

Wang Shijie followed a few steps and wanted to look inside again. Zhao Long and Zhao Hu immediately blocked him and glared at him. He had to retreat to the snow and stood.

In the palace, Ziyuan took the silver all the way to the side hall of the palace, where the servants lived and lived, and the stills were also installed here.

Seeing Xiao Ming, who was guarding the stove and drawing things again, Zi Yuan walked up and said, "Your Highness is really a clever plan. Wang Shijie has indeed come. According to Your Highness's instructions, I asked him to wait outside. By the way, I have earned a ingot of silver."

Aster put the silver on the chopping board of Xiao Ming's paintings just like asking for credit.

"Haha, not bad. You can buy some money from Luluo for your daughter's household items." Xiao Ming glanced at him and probably had a dozen taels. Wang Zijie was really generous in his outstanding actions.

Green Luo, who was standing beside Xiao Ming, smiled and narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, but then she pursed her mouth, "Your Highness, it's useless for us to ask for this money. Qingzhou has nothing. If there is maltose, you can buy it."

Li San joined in the fun at this time and was diligently trying to please Luluo and Ziyuan. Who doesn’t know that Luluo and Ziyuan are the second only to Qian Dafu in the royal family? He said: “Two girls, this matter is easy to handle. I will go to Chang'an another day. I can recommend the two girls to buy it back.”

"Well, yes, there is Li San, I'll take this money for Li San. What do you want to tell him?" Xiao Ming pointed at Li San.

In fact, Xiao Ming knew the production of maltose, but now he obviously had no time to make maltose because it could not create much economic value and could only grind his teeth.

This time, I asked Li San to go to the purchase first, and when he took the time to make malt sugar and taste it himself, he was also greedy. After all, malt sugar was also one of the rare snacks of this era.

Aster and Green Ivy looked at each other and smiled. Aster gave the silver to Li San and said, "You have to be careful with flowers, otherwise you will have to be careful with your skin when you come back."

Li San was already accustomed to Aster's hot personality, put away Yinzi and said, "Don't worry, two girls."

Ziyuan thought of Wang Shijie at the station outside the door and said to Xiao Ming again: "Your Highness, this Wang Shijie is still outside the door, do you see?"

"Don't worry, let him go first. In the past, I trusted the Wang family too much, and made the Wang family arrogant and rampant in the six states. Pang Changzhi mentioned to me many times that the Wang family occupied fertile land and bullied men and women. Now I have to let him know who has the final say in my fiefdom." Xiao Ming sneered.

"No wonder Your Highness went to the Qin family in person. It turned out that it was a sign of checks and balances." Ziyuan nodded.

"That's right, although the Qin family is not a good person, they have always been in harmony with the Wang family. If they are separated and transformed, these four families can be used by me, rather than being led by them by their nose. Only when they fight, I can benefit."

Xiao Ming is in a good mood now and expresses his original intention.

Ziyuan looked at Xiao Ming with different eyes. I am afraid that no other princes and princesses would have thought of such a prince.

After drawing with the brush again for an hour, a schematic diagram of the steel assembly line appeared under Xiao Ming's pen.

Qian Dafu took the servants of the Equipment Department for some time. If he came back, the steel assembly line would be born.

In addition to the assembly line diagram, there is also a crucible drawing. He plans to take these two pictures to the Equipment Department tomorrow and teach them again. The steel assembly line is basically the same. Although the output of the crucible steelmaking method is far from comparable to that of converter steelmaking, it has made great progress compared to this era.

This step is always taken step by step, and you can't become a fat man in one breath.
