Chapter 1699 Kindness

Zhulan really remembered that her son and granddaughter helped a girl back then, as if they saved a lady, "!!"

Linxi blinked her eyes, "Grandma, have you remembered?"

"I hope I'm wrong."

"That's right, it's Ji Rong!"

Zhulan thought that Ji Rong was really miserable at that time, because she was bullied and fought back fiercely, "How did you remember it?"

Lin Xi said quietly: "I met the little girl from back then. Ji Rong let go of the little girl's contract before returning home. Now the little girl and her parents have come to the capital."

Zhulan understood that the little girl's family was put outside by Ji Rong, "Did the little girl recognize you?"

Linxi nodded, "Well, I didn't recognize my face in the dark, but I remembered my voice. Hey, I really don't want to have anything to do with Ji Rong."

Seeing Ji Rong's troubles behind, if I knew it earlier, forget it, I would have helped if I had known it earlier.

Zhulan thought for a while, "If Ji Rong finds you, don't mention your little uncle."

The kindness of life-saving is quite tricky. If she chooses a daughter-in-law, she still prefers Ms. Wei. Ji Rong is obviously being bullied to extremes. She and Shuren have been planning for the sake of future generations. If you keep trying to teach someone or something, it will ruin the Zhou family's future.

Linxi, "I was the one who spoke first, grandma, don't worry."

She knew that her mother and grandmother were optimistic about Miss Wei, so naturally they would not cause trouble for her little uncle.

Zhulan, "Good boy, do you want to stay for dinner today?"

"Okay, I have to stay overnight."

"Your grandfather must be happy to see you."

Linxi likes grandpa. Some people say that grandpa is not good. In her heart, grandpa is the most handsome. "Grandma, I'm going to find my cousin."

"Go."

After thinking about it, Zhulan was still not at ease, so she called Chang Zhong who was reading at home, and told about the incident in Pinggang, and finally concluded, "Avoid as much as you can."

Chang Zhong also didn't want to have anything to do with the woman, especially when he thought Miss Wei was good, "Son, I've made a note of it."

The next day, Xuehan sent someone to call Linxi back to the palace, and within an hour and a half, Linxi came back again.

Linxi, "Grandma, Miss Ji came to thank me, she didn't mention little uncle."

"Well, solved?"

"It's resolved. My mother didn't show up. I went back to Ji Rong and waited for a while. I told her that she didn't have to take it to heart. I didn't say a few words before I saw off the guests."

Zhulan, "Then why did you come back?"

Linxi spread her hands, "My mother knows, she asked me the details carefully, and I said you wait for me to have lunch before my mother let me go."

Otherwise, Mother wants to ground her again!

Zhulan laughed, "Since you're having lunch with me, what would you like to eat?"

"Eat cold noodles, the weather is getting hotter."

Zhulan also wants to eat something cold, "It's really hot this year."

"Yes, hey, this summer is sad."

Fortunately, there are not many masters in Prince Qin's Mansion, so there is always a surplus of ice.

Mrs. Li came in at this moment, "Mother, this is a letter from Mingyun."

After Zhulan saw it, "He does have an idea."

Li smiled, "Ran Wan used to feel like home, and the young couple will live a better life."

Zhulan shook her head, "This time I'm talking about business."

Mrs. Li was nervous, "What happened?"

Zhulan put down the message: "Wu Ming always wanted the grassland people to learn Chinese, but the grassland taught it to Mr. Ming Yun thought of the orphans, and wanted to invite some female orphans to teach the grassland women."

Mrs. Li has been to the grassland, "The conditions in the grassland are difficult."

The son is not short of money, and he receives things from the capital from time to time, and his life is not very comfortable. The conditions of the people below are even more difficult. There is no family behind the orphan,

When you arrive at the grassland, you can only rely on yourself, and it is estimated that few people are willing to go!

Zhulan also knew that the orphan's current wages had to be repaid, "I'll discuss it with Rong Chuan."

Mrs. Li was thinking about her son again, "I don't know when Mingyun will come back."

"I won't be back for a while."

Mingyun grew up very fast outside, which is a condition that the capital cannot provide. She and Shuren are very pleased, Mingyun is the future of the Zhou family.

The palace and the study are quiet. It's not that the emperor's movements of flipping through are light, but that the emperor is very slow.

Zhou Shuren was very stable in his heart. He could touch the bottom line of the emperor for so many years, so he waited quietly.

The emperor sometimes frowned, sometimes relaxed his brows, and after another cup of tea, he put down the notebook in his hand, "You have calculated everything."

Zhou Shuren glanced at the emperor, seeing the calm expression on the emperor's face, he said: "I still think too much."

The emperor snorted, "Insufficient? I think it is sufficient. Merchants pay a patent fee every year to use improved technology. Do you know how much money the Ministry of Industry spends to improve technology?"

"The minister has always had accounts."

emperor,"......"

Zhou Shuren said: "So the patent fee can't be set low, and you can't make a loss-making business."

The emperor hit the nail on the head, "Today's patent protects the interests of the court, but what about tomorrow?"

Zhou Shuren, "Tomorrow will protect the emperor's subjects."

The emperor snorted again, "Officials and the people, officials first and then the people, how do you ensure that the patents of the people will not be robbed?"

People don't fight with officials. It's not just talk, stay away from the capital, he, the emperor, sometimes feels helpless, there are too many local snakes, and there is too much darkness away from the capital!

Zhou Shuren's eyes were burning, "So we have to improve slowly."

The emperor remained silent, and Zhou Shuren was also patient. After a quarter of an hour, the emperor waved his hand, "Go back first."

Zhou Shuren had expected it a long time ago, and said something more before leaving, "Your Majesty, there are many merchants, and if a technology does not want to lag behind, you have to pay the patent fee. This is not a small sum of money. There's a lot left."

Your Majesty, "Let's go."

Zhou Shuren left without saying a word this time, along with Chang Zhi.

Chang Zhi kept thinking about the study outside, but he didn't dare to eavesdrop. God knows how nervous he was because the door of the study was closed, "Father, are you okay?"

Zhou Shuren touched his stomach, "Does it count if you drink too much tea?"

Changzhi, "..."

Come on, he was worrying for nothing!

In the study, the emperor sat and twirled the beads, his mind was out of control thinking about the law, and then he frowned. The Ministry of Industry has indeed invested a lot in these years, and he has squeezed a lot of technology in his hands. He has never thought about how to use it. Zhou Shuren's The idea is indeed good, but it also involves a lot.

Zhou Shuren left the palace, "I'll take you back to the Imperial Academy."

Changzhi, "Thank you dad."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Are you the one who entered the palace in the past few days?"

Changzhi nodded, "Yes."

He entered the palace one after another with a lot of jealousy, because his father was there, and no one spoke harsh words in front of him. Thinking about it this way, everything about him was because of his father.

"Father, you have worked hard."

Zhou Shuren, "??"

Changzhi said again: "Father, what did you say to the emperor?"

Zhou Shuren stared, "Don't inquire."

He didn't say anything about it except his wife, and he had always prepared it by himself.

Changzhi closed his mouth, "I'm just curious."

"Then put away your curiosity, if you can't help it, I'll help you tighten your skin."
