Luo Qingshuang ignored Han Boning who was shouting crazily. She looked at Wu Shi beside her and said, "Find a secluded place to bury him. Keep your hands and feet clean and don't leave anything to say to our chief manager."
"Here."
Wu Shi took the order and stopped.
Zhao An had a dark face, pretending not to hear Luo Qingshuang's insinuations, and took her to the paper mill, while silently mourning Han Boning for a second in his heart.
The industrial zone of the new city has been planned a long time ago, and an extra large piece of land has been set aside to facilitate subsequent construction.
There are manpower patrols set up by Qian Yu to prevent outsiders from prying. In addition, the workshop has its own security team. If suspicious people are found poking their heads, they will be arrested and executed.
According to Qian Yu's statement, no fewer than dozens of people have been killed so far.
Those people were not from the new city, they were either spies or sent by some businessmen to steal secrets. Ordinary people had seen the orders posted in the city not to approach the workshops and did not dare to disobey them.
Luo Qingshuang wondered: "When the workers return to the city, outsiders can learn the inside story from them. Aren't you afraid that the process will be leaked?"
"Not afraid."
Papermaking is not that simple. There are some things that need to be added to it. Even if someone really spends time to find out all the processes, they still won't be able to do it in the end, because the core technology is in Qianyu's hands, unless he takes the initiative to leak the secret, but that is not possible.
Luo Qingshuang showed a look of surprise, "Where did you learn this skill? You know, the great sages in ancient times spent countless efforts to develop better paper, and even worked for many generations without success."
Zhao An scratched his head and said, "When I was little, I just liked to think about things. The more I read them, the more I naturally figured them out."
"Is it?"
Luo Qingshuang smiled, but her charming face clearly didn't believe it.
Her slave had a big secret, and she became more and more curious.
The guards knew Zhao An, and when they saw him, they immediately stood up and called him "sir" respectfully.
Zhao An nodded and still took out his identity card according to the regulations. The other party checked that everything was correct before entering.
In the core area of the papermaking workshop, many workers are busy, many materials are fermenting in the pit, and snow-white paper is drying on wooden racks.
Luo Qingshuang came forward to check in surprise and was amazed.
This hand directly cut off Chen's lifeline. She could almost imagine how furious Chen Guogong would be when he knew that the Holy Sect was selling new paper!
Fortunately, the emperor has taken out explosives now, and Chen will not dare to dance on the tip of the knife no matter how angry he is.
As long as the Chen family makes no big moves and the imperial power becomes stronger, the situation in the court will become favorable to the emperor.
Thinking of this, Luo Qingshuang said with a half-smile, "Mr. Zhou is really His Majesty's minister."
Zhao An was so shocked by this sentence that he quickly took her hand and said piously: "Madam, I am sincere to you."
This scene made the workers stunned.
It turns out that Mr. Zhou also has sex with women, but which family does that lady belong to? Could it be a widow?
Being stared at by the workers like this, Luo Qingshuang felt uncomfortable all over and her cheeks were slightly hot. She hurriedly opened her big paw and glared angrily, "I won't let you go if I touch you again."
"Ahem, I know my mistake."
Zhao An touched his nose and thought to himself that he had been fooled.
But whether he was helping her or the emperor, she was obviously suspicious.
After taking Luo Qingshuang to visit the paper workshop, they also visited the perfume and soap workshops, and the Seven Dimension Space Production Center.
Seven Dimensions is a personal and personal thing for women, so they are all female workers.
Luo Qingshuang glanced sideways, "How can you come up with such a good thing? You should be rewarded."
Zhao An is basically immune to the word "reward" now, and they, the royal family, will only talk and have a bad temper, and will not be practical at all.
After the visit, Luo Qingshuang had a general understanding of the new city. She didn't say anything on the way back and looked very calm.
Zhao An didn't know the real purpose of her coming today, and he was unsure, so he asked in a low voice: "Is there anything else you want to see?"
Luo Qingshuang said: "Why don't you take the Ai family to the place where explosives are made? Do you have to keep it a secret from the Ai family?"
After working on it for a long time, she wanted to confirm the authenticity of the explosives.
Zhao An said sarcastically: "Even if that place is in the new city, it is the young prince Qianyu who is in charge, and the eunuch, a servant, has no way of contacting it."
"So, you can't complete the task assigned to you by the Ai family to investigate explosives?"
Luo Qingshuang stopped and glanced over with cold eyes.
This area is now reserved for follow-up workshops, and there are not many people there, but she is mourning one by one, which is frightening to hear.
Faced with repeated questioning, Zhao An could only laugh and deal with it.
Luo Qingshuang was a little disappointed and said in a low voice: "Please help the Ai family contact the young prince. The Ai family haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him so much."
"yes……"
Half an hour later, Zhao An settled Luo Qingshuang, then found Qian Yu and explained the situation.
Qian Yu was stunned, "You want explosives? Why does she want explosives?"
"What do you think?"
Zhao An raised his eyebrows and spat.
Qian Yu was numb, and he suddenly felt that His Majesty was so pitiful.
Forget it if Chen wants to seize power, why does the Queen Mother want to seize power too!
Tiger poison doesn’t even eat seeds!
"No, I want to see the Queen Mother. I can't watch the Queen Mother go on like this."
"Come on, you still can't see it? I want you to live for two more years. If you go down early, how will you face your old man?"
Zhao An didn't dare let Qian Yu mess around.
Luo Qingshuang is an old witch, the kind who eats people without spitting out their bones.
Qian Yu might not offend her, but she might be ruthless enough to kill someone!
Then there will be big trouble.
Qian Yu is related to the future of Xincheng and the economic lifeline of Daxia. If he dies suddenly, the whole market will collapse.
Furthermore, Zhao An is still not sure of Luo Qingshuang's true purpose.
Let's say she wants to usurp power. In addition to recruiting relatives to the capital, she also helped the empress to prevent the Chen family from causing trouble in the harem. Even out of self-protection, she has not done anything to really endanger the imperial power.
She even helped a lot of small things on weekdays, which could be considered as indirectly helping the empress...
But it would be wrong to say that she has no idea about the throne.
She recruited her relatives to Beijing and planted a thunder under the emperor's feet. What was her plan?
Zhao An subconsciously looked at the courtyard where Luo Qingshuang was, his intuition roaring in his mind.
The capital must be hiding a shocking secret!
Finally, Qian Yu entered the inner room to pay his respects.
Luo Qingshuang waved with a smile, "Little prince, how are you doing lately?"
Qianyu lowered his head and replied, "Thanks to you, everything goes well."
"I heard that His Majesty got help from an expert and took out explosives. Maybe he could use them to show the Ai family?"
"this……"
Qian Yu didn't expect that she was so straightforward and how she pretended to be sincere.
Luo Qingshuang said suspiciously: "Is it difficult? Don't worry, the emperor is the child of the Ai family, how can the Ai family harm him."
Gudong!
Qian Yu suddenly knelt down and said nothing.
