This Li Caidong's heart was broken at this moment.

Lang San is all good, but the girl's house has been infected by the outside world and does not have the temperament of a lady from a family.

He was going to blame his wife.

Who knew that his wife was extremely enlightened and couldn't help but say, "Master, what's this? This child has not been married yet, so stay by my side. What's wrong with being naughty? I'll listen to Mrs. Chen..."

What Li Caidong was most afraid of was the ladies of this family and the ladies of that family, but for some reason, these women became more and more presumptuous. He thought that some of the ladies had gone to poetry meetings together, and some people went to girls' schools. Thinking of this, Li Shanji stopped talking and speechless.

Finally, the entire hall burst into thunderous cheers and endless applause, but someone came on stage.

Miss Li's family immediately became ruled and immediately sat upright on the Jindun, feeling intoxicated.

What did Li Shanji sing? Actually, Li Shanji didn't have the time to listen to it. He just cheered and yelled. He was thinking about buying and selling. Recently, the fleet that went abroad has returned. Many people who followed Eunuch Zheng to go to sea have made a lot of money and brought back a lot of Xibei goods. The Li family is still in Suzhou. Li Shanji planned to get a batch of Xibei goods to Suzhou, but this matter is also very risky and requires a lot of consideration. Also, the clothing has become popular recently, and Li Shanji plans to open several clothing shops, but the store has been tight recently and he can't find any suitable place for a while.

His mind was full of money, and in fact, he didn't know how to come to this place. But sometimes he came with his wife and daughter, and sometimes he came to discuss business with some people, so he was not surprised by the noisy atmosphere. I don't know what the people on the stage sang, but there was another thunderous sound. Li Shanji came to his senses and was about to listen to the opera, but at this moment, there was a thunderous noise outside the street, and someone faintly heard: "The Marquis of Haifang has arrived. He has arrived at Wumaqiao..."

"Everyone, go and see, you have arrived at Wuma Bridge."

After hearing this, Li Shanji was cheered up. Lord Hao came... Before that, there had been many news that it was almost here, and this had long become a topic of talk about Lang Shan. What Lord Hao did in the capital has benefited Lang Shan a lot. This is fine. Since the rise of Chen Xue, the Hao family has become closer to Chen Xue. Hao Fenglou has seized some small-listed positions for Chen Xuemou in the capital. From then on, Chen Xue's status has been consolidated, and the Hao family and Chen Xue are even more inseparable. The Chen father and son depend on the Hao family and they cannot help but make a big fuss. The Hao family and son must be listed as the status of Chen Xue Daxian. The Chen Xue students also began to advocate, probably because they believed it themselves.

It is precisely because of this that Hao Fenglou's reputation has long been more than the gratitude of merchants, but it is only the support of the wealthy people here. Now it has a bit more sacred meaning. Langshan has long been looking forward to his return. Now that there is news, the whole city has caused a sensation and a lot of controversy.

But I don’t know who learned the news on the street, and someone shouted inside: “Mr. Hao is here.”

As soon as this sound came out, the play could not be sung or listened to. The people sitting in the hall immediately cheered like thunder.

On the second and third floors, the wealthy people sitting high here had no intention of sitting leisurely and went out of the wing room one by one. Li Shanji was the same. He ignored his wife and daughter and went out directly from the second door.

When Li Shanji came out, she met a few old acquaintances, but they didn't deal with each other for a long time, but they only looked familiar. They occasionally met at some parties, but they forgot what business to do. Everyone showed their heads and gestured to each other, and then they got on the carriage.

However, the streets of Lang Son were blocked, and suddenly many cars and horses came out. Even though countless patrols took to the street to evacuate, they were still blocked. Li Shanji sat here, rushing around in a hurry. Seeing that many people were about to rush to Wuma Bridge, he simply gritted his teeth and got out of the car.

There are many legends in Lang Son, and these legends have been compiled into many stories and spread. Therefore, everyone wants to see what this Hai Fanghou looks like. As for some who have seen Hao Fenglou for a long time, they have a close relationship with the Hao family and are more willing to show their faces at Wumaqiao. Others may not be able to see you, but this is a matter of attitude. Whether to go or not, the choice is in your hands, but everyone still chooses to join in the fun. Sometimes, even if they know that there will be no result, people can't help but blindly follow.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hao Fenglou and others have arrived at Wumaqiao.

This Wuma Bridge is located on the border between Lang Son and Guangxi. This bridge was built the year before yesterday. Because it is wide and can run five horses in parallel, it is named.

In fact, Lang Son now has no distinction between urban and rural areas. After passing the border of Guangxi, there is a road and rows of houses. It is remote here, but there are workshops everywhere, porcelain kilns, huge sheds, and huge chimneys with rolling smoke. The roads are full of carriages loaded with goods, flowing endlessly.

As early as a few hours ago, Duke Luguo’s Mansion learned the news that Hao Zheng personally brought many people to welcome Grand Secretary Yang Shiqi.

That's right, Yang Shiqi was welcomed, not Hao Fenglou.

This is not that Hao Zheng is unkind, but that is the rule. There is no father in this world who welcomes his son. Therefore, if you want to come out, you must play Yang Shiqi's signature.

There is an inn here at Wumaqiao. The inn is huge in scale and has several in-houses. At this time, everyone has already settled down.

Yang Shiqi is a cautious person. He listens and watches except for some necessary etiquette, but rarely speaks.

This gave the father and son a room for greeting each other.

"Sir, Dad?"

"Not bad, how about your mother?"

"I'm fine."

"Is it okay for Qinmin and Qinzheng to have two children?"

"Everything is fine, but my mother is very concerned about her father."

…………

"Now the river and the storm are going to be rebuilt, and the amount of money spent is over 10 million taels. You can see that there are too many cars and horses here, and every now and then, it will be congested. If there is no improvement, it will be difficult to move forward in two years."

When Hao Zheng said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. As he spoke, he actually forgot that Yang Shiqi was by his side.

But Yang Shiqi was shocked. He never thought that the Hao family would have tens of millions of silver patterns at one move. If these tens of millions of silver patterns were placed in the court, it would be a few years old...

Before Yang Shiqi came, he knew that the Hao family was rich and Lang San was rich, but when he heard this number, he was still stunned.

"As for the sake of this, there is another interesting thing. Someone in the coal mine made a small thing, which I found quite interesting for my father."

"Oh?" It was time for chatting, and Hao Fenglou's fatigue was wiped out, and he seemed very interested.

"The most troublesome thing about this mine is pumping water. In the past, it was too much to rely on manpower to raise a bucket of water. This would cost a lot of manpower. But you also know that many iron houses now need coal, so the coal price remains high. A large part of the reason is that it is a document from the coal mine. The scholar actually created a qi. Well... I can't explain it to you, ha... Let my father think about it first, yes, although you are

There is no difference between grains, but I know that boiling water. If water is put in the pot and burn it with fire, the water will turn into water vapor. The more water vapor accumulates, the greater the strength, and the lid of the pot will be lifted. The scholar was inspired by this and used this water vapor to make a steam engine, which is specially used for pumping water. As long as the steam is constantly added to the fire, the air inside will be covered and there is nowhere to go, so that the plug inside will move and form strength, and the water in the mine will be pumped out."

"This is a good thing. A mine often requires hiring more than a dozen young and strong people to pump water. However, with such a thing, manpower is saved. Now this document cooperates with a merchant to set up a workshop for motors, producing seven or eight units of this thing in a month. There are many mines who are rushing to order. A few days ago, the envoy of Jiaozhou Xuanwei came to visit. His tribe was a mining person. He specifically said this, saying that it was the exquisiteness of this machine, which was really something I had never seen in my life..."

When Hao Fenglou heard his father's hard explanation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Isn't this steam engine just a steam engine?"

Using the principle of water vapor to activate the piston movement inside... How could Hao Fenglou not understand?

I just didn't expect that someone would come up with it.

In fact, it is normal to make this happen. On the one hand, it is a new idea. It is no longer ridiculed, but can gain huge profits. This gives some smart people room to display. After invention and creation, once an economic effect is formed, it will immediately be favored by many merchants and make a big profit. Regarding invention and creation, the east direction is at the forefront of the world, such as muskets, cannons, and even machine guns. Of course, there is no need to say about the four major inventions.
