Chapter 20: The first snow crossing

　　 "Your Highness."
　　 Qin Mu entered the main hall first, followed by Sun Dong and Wei Qing.
　　 Seeing Wang Shijie's arrival, Qin Mu was surprised: "Brother Wang always came late in the past, why does he come so early today?"
　　 "Last night because of this gas stove, I never slept all night, and I was anxious, so I came earlier today."
　　Wang Shijie has a guilty conscience and dare not look at Qin Mu directly.
　　 "Huh." Qin Mu sneered. He believed that Wang Shijie was a ghost. Just by looking at Wang Shijie's wicked eyebrows, he knew that his purpose was not simple.
　　 Sun Dong looked at Wang Shijie, then glanced at Qin Mu, and said: "His Royal Highness is busy with official duties, so let's not disturb His Royal Highness here. We should give each other's secret letters to His Royal Highness."
　　 Wei Qing said in a loud voice: "Yes, now each of you take out the secret letter and let His Highness open it in public, I believe His Highness is fair."
　　Xiao Ming laughed secretly. Wei Qing was wearing a high hat for himself first, fearing that Xiao Ming would be biased. He said, "I will go to the Department of Apparatus later. In that case, please give me the secret letter."
　　Wang Shijie immediately handed his letter to Xiao Ming, and the other three also handed it in.
　　 After sorting out the secret letters, Xiao Ming opened them one by one. Wang Shijie’s quote was five taels, Sun Dong’s three taels, Wei Qing’s three taels, and Qin Mu’s six taels.
　　 "His Royal Highness, what's the result?" Qin Mu asked with some worry. This time the Qin family paid a big price.
　　 Xiao Ming spread out all the four letters, "This king hasn't cheated. It seems that Qin Mu's management of this briquettes stove."
　　Wang Shijie looked unhappy. He didn't expect the Qin family to spend such a large capital, but to him, the briquettes were the most important thing, and the briquettes did not seem important.
　　 "Accepted, accepted." Qin Mu stood up and bowed his hands to the three of them, looking like they were proud.
　　 Sun Dong and Wei Qing's expressions have not changed much. The two of them know that they are not better than the Qin family and the Wang family in this matter.
　　 The Wang family controls the coal and the Qin family controls the transportation of water. These are advantages that they do not have.
　　 "Since Qin Mu takes the top spot, this matter is settled like this. This king will order the equipment manufacturer to produce, and Brother Qin will come to get the goods every day." Xiao Ming said.
　　 "Thank Your Highness." Qin Mu was overjoyed.
　　 The matter of the briquettes stove was decided, and the four of them went separately. They still need to report the matter to their families.
　　 Counting the silver bills in his hand, Xiao Ming said happily, "It is still the most profitable technology monopoly."
　　As a major in engineering, Xiao Ming knew exactly what it meant to be technologically backward. In his time, if there was no technology, he would spend money to buy it from others.
　　 In this case, you have to give as much money as others say you need. Technological monopoly is definitely a huge profit.
　　 Now he has infinite technologies in his mind. When he develops these technologies, he will establish his own technology monopoly system.
　　 At that time, he can wait to collect the money.
　　 Qian Dafu's round face, eyes almost disappeared, since they came to Qingzhou, their palace has never been so rich.
　　 "Dafu, this is one thousand taels. Mine search is very hard. It is for you." Xiao Ming took the two silver tickets into Qian Dafu's hands.
　　 Qian Dafu smiled happily, "His Royal Highness earned this money, so the old slave accepted it."
　　 Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, no way, the palace was too poor before.
　　 Received the cash receipt, Qian Dafu asked: "His Royal Highness, I'm going out to search for mines, what about the affairs of the palace?"
　　 Xiao Ming glanced at him and said faintly: "You are so protective of aster, don't you have an idea in your heart?"
"His Royal Highness is smart, and the old slave can't keep her from thinking about it. This Luluo and Zixuan are the people next to the empress and will not be against Your Highness. Luluo is timid and fearful, and she definitely can't control the servants in the mansion. This Zixu has a pungent personality. , And smart, it's more than enough to take charge of the palace." Qian Dafu said.
　　 "Then let her take care of it. You are my confidant. In the future, you may deal with a lot of things. You can't always stick to the trivial matters of the palace."
The two words 　　 confidant made Qian Dafu agitated. Xiao Ming trusted him so much that he would go through the fire and water.
　　The matter of seeking mines is imminent. Xiao Ming explained some details to Qian Dafu. He has to prepare today, and he will go out tomorrow.
　　 For the safety of the wealthy, Xiao Ming also specially asked Ruda to draw out ten loyal cavalry for protection.
　　With silver in his hand, Xiao Ming's first thing was naturally the hydraulic lathe workshop.
　　Because the dignified feudal lord enjoyed the ultimate privilege in his fief, Xiao Ming easily circled a piece of land in the most rushing place of the Mi River, no one dared to say anything.
　　 Then, he asked Chen Wenlong to post a notice to recruit the craftsmen. The hydraulic workshop is 100 meters long and 15 meters wide, which is not a small project.
　　 This winter is coming soon, and he hopes that the workshop will be put into use within one winter.
　　 At the same time, the craftsmen in the equipment department worked overtime to produce lathes, and when the workshop was established, the equipment could be moved there. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 The production of briquettes is also in progress. Because of its simple manufacturing, the equipment division can produce 30 gas stoves a day.
　　 took the right to operate the briquettes stove, and the Qin family came to pick up the goods the next day. However, even though the Qin family did not dare to buy too much at once, they were still worried about the sale of the briquettes stove.
　　 In such a busy time, the weather is getting colder every day.
　　 At the end of the first month of Xiao Ming's crossing, a heavy snow from the north covered Qingzhou City.
　　 The snow was heavy, and it was blowing up. When I woke up the next day, Qingzhou seemed to be buried in the snow.
　　 "Your Majesty, you see how big the snow is." In the snow, Luluo's face was red with cold, one foot was deep and the other stepped on the snow, and she smiled at him.
　　 Xiao Ming sat at the door of the sleeping hall, guarding a briquettes stove to bake his hands, and the weather today is at least 17 octaves below zero.
　　 In previous times, he was a southerner. He had never experienced such a cold weather before. Now he just wants to hold the stove without moving his nest.
　　 However, Luluo and Aster seem to have become accustomed to this kind of weather for a long time, and they have fun in the snow.
　　 Aster also smiled at Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, come on, it will be warm when you move."
　　 "Let's play, this king won't go." Xiao Ming said, watching beauties playing is also a kind of fun.
　　 Aster and Lu Luo looked at each other, and suddenly they picked up a snowball and threw it at Xiao Ming.
　　 "Bold!" Xiao Ming pretended to be angry, and at the same time dodge left and right, two snowballs fell into the sky.
　　 Aster and Luluo smiled when they met, but suddenly they stopped smiling because they saw Pang Changshi coming over from the front hall.
