The head of the Ji family was too lazy to argue with his son, so he returned home and wrote a memorial, sharing what he saw and heard with his wife.
There are His Majesty's cronies in the family, and the head of the Ji family is one of them. When His Majesty ascended the throne, the head of the Ji family made great efforts. Therefore, after Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, the Ji family benefited greatly and stood out among other aristocratic families.
Become a royalist.
Her Majesty the Empress wants to clean up the family, but she is also wary of her former confidants.
The great eunuch presented the important news of the new day. Your Majesty is wearing a yellow dragon robe, and is not angry or intimidating. She is obviously a thin woman, but she can see her perseverance in nature.
When she picked up the memorial of the head of the Ji family and read it carefully, she couldn't help but think deeply.
"Su Tian'er."
"Your Majesty." The eunuch named Su Tian'er bowed in response.
"You said, Father...that's all, you go out first."...
Su Tian'er followed the order and left the hall, closing the door. The empress sat on the dragon chair, holding a memorial in one hand and tapping the table with the other. The Ji family had supported her to ascend to the throne and had always been loyal, but before her father died, She was told to clean up the family.
An aristocratic family has the benefits of being a family, but it cannot let the family become so powerful that it threatens the imperial power. The Ji family does a good job, will not offend the imperial power, is loyal, and always thinks about her as the emperor when doing things. She does not take credit for her fame and fortune. I can get up and let go. Is there any reason for her to liquidate? What my father said didn't seem entirely right.
"Su Tian'er, let me announce that the head of the Ji family has entered the palace.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as the emperor shouted, the elder eunuch took the order and left; he called the confidant the younger eunuch who had been trained around him to leave the palace. When the young eunuch arrived at the Ji family, the head of the Ji family looked normal, rewarded him with some money, and followed him into the house. Palace.
He knew why he entered the palace, and he was confident in his heart, so he was naturally calm.
Entering the main hall, the head of the Ji family knelt down without saying a word, "I wish you all the best for your majesty."
"Ji Aiqing, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Ji Family Master stood up, he bowed to express his thanks again.
The empress picked up the memorial and said calmly, "Is what you said in the memorial true? After testing, can it really save the treasury the cost of repairing roads every year?"
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, I have seen it with my own eyes; the level of hardness, not to mention saving huge maintenance costs every year, can also save several years. If the road is damaged, you can also dig out the damaged section and build it The road is newly repaired and can still be used.”
The empress pondered for a moment, and then Master Ji said: "Your Majesty, the road has been built. It is convenient for the people to do business, conduct scientific research, and travel. No matter where you go in and out, at least it is not as bumpy as before, which is very convenient for us young people." It’s good, but it’s a torture for the child)”
Anyone who has experienced bumpy roads knows what it feels like.
"It is indeed a good thing." The empress spoke, raising her eyelids to look at the head of the Ji family, "You said in the memorial that the recipe was given to Young Master Ling by a seven or eight-year-old girl?"
The head of the Ji family replied respectfully: "Yes, this woman is from Xianyun County, Shuzhou. She became a student of Xu Shoufu and settled in Beijing last year. She studied at Xingzhi Academy. She and Quanzi are brother and sister. The two of them have a good relationship. Quanzi has helped her many times. . This child is also an honest person. In order to thank Quanzi, he gave Quanzi a recipe he had obtained over the years, which is a cement house."
"Where did she get it?" A seven or eight-year-old girl could actually have something that would benefit the country and the people!
"It is said that it was obtained from an old man. The child was kind to an old man when he was a child. The old man favored him and gave him a book. This book recorded this recipe. Not only that, Quan Zi and her He and Cui Changhe, the son of the Cui family, jointly ran a business, and what they sold was the formula provided by Quanzi's junior sister. It is said that he got it from that book." He knew this from his son's mouth, Rouge Gouache The business was also opened under his care.
With a son's heart, as a father, he will naturally help.
He is not the unclear thing in the Cui family, he is very harsh on his sons and daughters; if Cui Changhe hadn't become successful and relied on Xu Shoufu, he doesn't know when he would have discovered Cui Changhe's shining point.
The empress heard this and wondered whether she believed it or not, "The little girl's name is Xiao Minghua, right?"

"Exactly, Xiao Minghua."
"It's a good name. Does she have any assets in her family?"
The head of the Ji family didn't dare to hide it. He didn't say that the empress wanted to find out these things. "The Xiao family has no property. The property where they live now was donated by Xu Shoufu. Now except for the property run by the little girl and Quanzi, the Xiao family has no other property." Progress."
"That's it, Su Tian'er, go and invite the legitimate son of the Ji family to come into the palace." The empress saw that the head of the Ji family didn't know much about Xiao Minghua. If she wanted to know more about Xiao Minghua, she had to turn to his son.
"yes."
Su Tian'er called the young eunuch again to invite Young Master Ji.
Master Ji hurriedly said: "Eunuch Su, the dog is at Xu Shoufu's house today."
"Master Ji, don't worry, the Za family knows." Su Tian'er winked at the little eunuch, and the little eunuch took the order and left.
The empress asked some more questions about Ji Jin, and the head of the Ji family naturally told her everything; while chatting, the young eunuch brought Ji Jin.
Jin stepped into the hall and knelt down to say hello, "The common people bow to Your Majesty the Empress. Long live Your Majesty."
"Get up."
Ji Jin thanked him and stood up, but he lowered his eyebrows.
The empress said: "Ji Jin."
"The grassroots are here."
"What did your father say in his memorial that the recipe came from your junior sister Xiao Minghua?"
"Yes, Cao Min's sister got a book from an old man and learned several recipes from it; the recipe for cement was given to Cao Min and was introduced by Cao Min's father." When Ji Jin heard this, he understood what the empress wanted when he saw him. The purpose is explained clearly in just a few words.
The empress looked at him deeply. He was a young man, but he already had the shadow of being a man of his own. This shows how much the Ji family has trained him, and how well he himself has learned.
From this, the empress expressed her heartfelt emotion, "Master Ji has raised a good son and taught him well!"
The head of the Ji family smiled but did not answer.
"Our Ji family has tested the use and strength of cement, so cement can be used. Ji family, I ask you, how much does the cement raw material cost?" The empress did not expect the Ji family master to say anything, but It’s just a sigh of relief, it’s over.)
Jin looked at her father, and with his encouraging eyes, she respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the cost of the raw materials is very cheap. In total, it only costs a few pennies per kilogram."
"So cheap?" The cost of repairing bluestone slabs in the city is not low, let alone other things.
If it only costs a few pennies per pound, it would be great to be able to manage it for two or three years after the one-time repair is completed.
"Exactly, ordinary people dare not deceive Your Majesty and lie about the value."
