When Song Huan finished ordering, he told Liu Qing: "Let's put food on the table for everyone first."
"Let's talk about other things after dinner!"
For things like painting cakes, it's almost enough to do it once every three or five.
Too many times will make it look fake, big and empty.
It’s better not to say anything!
The craftsmen relaxed in front of Song Huan. After receiving their lunch, they all sat on the floor and ate hungrily.
However, what happened next made everyone dumbfounded and shocked!
I saw that Song Huan also went to get a meal, found an open space to sit somewhere, and started eating casually.
"this……"
"This is the powerful Prince Rong!"
"How dare you sit here and eat like the rest of us?"
"This, this, this..."
Song Huan's behavior really exceeded all of their expectations!
In their minds, as a prince who enjoys a life of fine clothes and fine food every day, they will definitely sneer at these simple meals.
At least, he would definitely not be like me, sitting on the floor outside in the cold wind and scribbling about eating!
Even Liu Qing was shocked by Song Huan's behavior!
"Your Highness, would you please accompany me to a restaurant to eat..."
"How inappropriate it is for you to eat here with the craftsmen..."
"Why isn't it suitable?" Song Huan waved his hands carelessly, "I think it's quite suitable!"
"Don't tell me, the food prepared by Miss Shen is really delicious."
“It’s not inferior to those big restaurants outside at all!”
Shen Mei smiled sweetly: "It would be great if Your Highness can get used to eating!"
"Although these ingredients are purchased at low prices from Changchunfang, they are also the freshest ingredients."
"It's hard to agree with everyone. I'm afraid that the master craftsmen won't be used to it, so I make it in different ways every day."
"I'm afraid everyone won't have enough to eat!"
Song Huan praised: "Miss Shen is very thoughtful."
"I have entrusted you with the management of the canteen of this steelmaking plant. It seems that I have chosen the right person!"
Shen Mei was slightly surprised: "Your Highness, has the matter in the cafeteria been confirmed?"
"Well," Song Huan wrote lightly while eating, "from now on, we will allocate five thousand taels of silver to the canteen every month. It should be enough, right?"
When Shen Mei heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief!
Is this just enough?
This is simply too much!
Liu Qing's eyes gleamed as he said, "Five thousand taels!"
"Your Highness, the master craftsmen eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and I'm afraid they won't be able to finish them all!"
"This is enough!"
Seeing the two people laughing so vainly, Song Huan smiled mysteriously.
"Then what if I say that these five thousand taels of silver are not just the cost of the canteen of the steel mill."
"Does it also include the food expenses for the second factory?"
Liu Qing immediately said with a smile: "Even if there are two factories, it must be enough!"
"……etc!"
"Your Highness, what did you just say?"
As soon as he said the words, Liu Qing suddenly felt that something was not right.
What second factory?
2. What factory?
Where did the second factory come from?
Could it be that His Highness means...
Song Huan smiled and said: "That's right, that's what you understand."
"This king is talking about Daliang Second Steelmaking Plant."
"The second steelmaking plant?" Liu Qing's small eyes were filled with disbelief. "You mean, another plant will be built soon?"
Song Huan nodded: "Yes."
"What, you're not happy about building another steel mill?"
Liu Qing was stunned, and was so shocked by the sudden news that he was speechless!
It turns out that these are the two good news that the prince wants to announce!
"Happy... happy!"
"Your Highness, I'm not unhappy, I'm just so happy!"
"I watched this steelmaking plant start from scratch with my own eyes and step by step get to where it is today!"
"When I first started, everything was hard..."
Speaking of this, Liu Qing choked up a little, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet.
Song Huan reached out and patted Liu Qing's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"I am troubled with many things. If you hadn't been here to keep an eye on me day and night, the steelmaking plant would not have achieved what it has today."
"Your sacrifice is seen by me!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Liu Qing wiped his tears and raised his head.
"Your Highness, to be fair, I am indeed a money-lover!"
"In the past, as long as I got some money from my father, I would be happy!"
"But since I opened this steel mill, I found that I don't seem to love silver that much."
"Although those white pieces of silver are good, it's the steel that has been tempered over time that has become the treasure in my eyes!"
"I feel now that the chaotic life I spent for more than ten years was simply in vain."
"Now I don't want anything, I just hope that the steelmaking plant can develop and get better and better!"
Looking at Liu Qing's extraordinarily bright eyes, Song Huan knew.
This time, this kid is really distracted!
"I know what you think, but ideals remain ideals, and your stomach must be filled."
"Starting from this month, I will give you five hundred taels of silver every month as salary."
"You kid, don't be too young!"
Liu Qing was stunned: "Your Highness, what is salary?"
Song Huan explained helplessly: "It's just salary."
Liu Qing was overjoyed, so excited that he didn't know how to express it.
"Your Highness, thank you!"
“Nothing is too little, nothing is too little!”
"How could I be too little?"
"This is the money I have earned through my own efforts. Even if it is only five taels or fifteen taels, I will be happy with it!"
"I knew that if I followed His Highness, there would be meat to eat."
Compared with the beginning, Liu Qing has indeed undergone a huge change.
Seeing this amazing change in Liu Qing, Song Huan was also quite pleased, hiding his merit and fame.
After leaving the Xijiao Factory, Song Huan originally planned to go back to the palace to ask Huo Qi about the news he had been asked to inquire about the day before.
By the way, let him pay attention, there is no trouble at the Ministry of Justice.
However, as soon as he returned to the palace, he saw Cheng Susu, with tears on her face, sitting in the main hall in despair, waiting for her.
Song Huan was startled: "Susu, what's wrong with you?"
"But someone bullied you?"
Seeing Song Huan coming back, Cheng Susu's heartache surged into her heart again, and she couldn't help but wipe away her tears again.
"Song Lang, please go and persuade my father!"
"My father was very excited after reading a letter just now. He said he was going to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to summon all the officials to meet together to meet him!"
"Although I don't know what exactly happened, when I saw my father's serious expression, I knew it must be something very important!"
"My dad rarely shows such a serious expression, and rarely makes such impulsive actions."
"I'm really afraid that when he gets to the imperial court, he will bump into the Holy One..."
