"It smells so good."
After soaking Dahongpao, Lu Desheng drank it without any reluctance.
This is the filial piety of his daughter. There is no worry about eating people's short-tongued words and taking advantage of others' soft-spoken words.
For Lu Desheng, it is time to eat and drink, and not to worry about things.
After all, he couldn't stop his daughter from doing what she wanted to do.
People's arms can't twist their thighs, but their thighs can't twist their arms, ugh.
Lu Songli smiled and squeezed her father's shoulders while asking, "Dad, this tea is really fragrant, isn't it?" This tea was sent by Ji Wuyin. The last time it came with the ship, there were only two liang, not much. , probably his collection.
Lu Desheng nodded contentedly.
Just when Lu Songli was wondering whether it was time to get down to business as the sugar-coated bullets had been sent out, her father spoke.
"Daughter, it's not that dad doesn't want iron ore, it's just that we have built Liaodong County too well and the governor is not happy in Liaoxi County because he doesn't come to Taiwan."
Lu Desheng decided to take a preemptive strike and shut his daughter's mouth first.
"Last time I went to ask for iron ore, when the steward of the Governor's Mansion sent me out, he kept hinting that there was too much noise in our Liaodong County, and we just had to do whatever we wanted to do."
Lu Songli curled her lips, she hated people like Shi Tao the most. She was sitting on a plain diet and didn't allow others to get results.
"Dad, if we want to develop in Liaodong County, we do need iron ore. Those iron ores can be melted into molten iron, beaten into farm tools, and sold to the people at appropriate prices, so that the people can get twice the result with half the effort when farming."
The first batch of farm tools, including hoes, shovels, shovels, rakes, sickles, drills and other farm tools, were distributed to the people for free use when building roads.
Those who come to do corvee work are all experienced farmers. Once you get started with this farm tool, you will know whether it is useful or not. All in all, I have used them all and think they are good. Later, when they were put on sale, many people used their savings to buy the same thing.
Lu Desheng said simply, "Daughter, the imperial court is very strict about salt and iron management. We kept asking for it, but Shi Tao suspected that we were up to no good."
Lu Songli said righteously and solemnly, "We are not afraid of shadows as we stand upright. If he is suspicious, let him send someone to investigate!"
Anyway, all the iron was broken into pieces and ended up in people's homes.
Lu Desheng also nodded in his mind, yes, they are so confident and not afraid of investigation!
"Dad, my daughter has heard a saying that if you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell potatoes. Then Shi Tao has a vegetarian diet but does not allow you to produce results. It is really abominable!"
Lu Desheng touched his nose and didn't know what reaction to give. If his daughter hadn't been pushing him behind him, he might as well have been Shi Tao.
Lu Songli suddenly said, "Dad, this Shi Tao is not good, how about you become the governor of Pingzhou?"
puff! Lu Desheng directly sprayed the tea. He didn't care about the waste of tea and asked quickly, "Daughter, what did you just say?"
What did he just hear? Did he think he was old and deaf? His daughter actually asked him, what about letting him be the governor of Pingzhou?
No, what I'm asking here is that he didn't become the governor. Was it because he didn't want to be? It's obvious that the emperor didn't let him take the job.
They captured the entire Pingzhou and the four counties of Pingzhou, which is equivalent to capturing a province. They have now conquered Liaodong County.
It just so happened that Lu Songli recently gradually felt that Liaodong County was no longer enough for them to perform.
After confirming her idea, Lu Songli began to encourage her father, "Dad, you are no worse than Shi Tao. Do you still deserve the position of a mere governor?"
Lu Desheng thought to himself, that is indeed true. He is not worse than Shi Tao, but much better than him, okay?
"Besides, dad, my daughter won't let you bow down to others. When you become the governor, won't you have the final say on how much iron ore you use and how little you use?"
Lu Desheng was moved when he heard his daughter say that she was reluctant to bow down to others.
Maybe he can be the governor of Pingzhou?
I think back then, he was the governor of Liaodong County, and it was his daughter who made plans for him.
"Daughter, you are right. Just tell me what you want to do next." Lu Desheng rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready for a big fight.
"Dad, let me plan this matter. But -" Lu Songli sighed, "Before that, I still have to get the iron ore."
Lu Desheng: ...He knew it would be like this!
"Dad, actually if you think about it on the bright side, you will use it less every time you have the opportunity to be a little fudi."
Lu Desheng: ...I don’t really want such an opportunity.
When it comes to sophistry and fallacies, he doesn't accept anyone but his own daughter.
"This time when you go to the Governor's Mansion, take a few threshing machines and a few sets of farm tools with you." This way Shi Tao won't embarrass her father too much.
Lu Songli said this, her father felt sorry for him.
Um? Lu Desheng knew that the first batch of his daughter's threshing machines were sent to the south for sale, "I won't take them with me, not even one!"
If you don’t have one, how many more will you give him? I'm afraid he's not thinking about shit!
Lu Desheng thought to himself that he could make people as difficult as the late emperor submissive. It's just Shi Tao, he doesn't believe that he can't handle him!
"Dad, you are so awesome, so why don't you go back and have a good meal with your mother today, and then take a trip tomorrow?" Lu Songli pushed her father out.
Hearing that he could leave early, Lu Desheng felt happy and half pushed out of the door.
Lu Songli stood outside the door and waved to him, "Dad, go and come back early. My daughter is waiting for your good news."
As Lu Desheng walked home, he thought to himself that something was wrong. After he went over the matter from beginning to end, he realized that he had been tricked by his daughter again.
Siheyuan, Beicheng District, Houcheng
Lu Wei drove the carriage and sent Sheng Peiguang and Hanya Chen to the designated place.
Sheng Peiguang clasped his fists and said, "Brother Lu, thank you."
At that time, when they came out from the foot of Yandang Mountain, they saw the twice-wide official road built by Liaodong County, extending to their feet, with a boundary monument with the word "Liaodong County" standing on the edge. At that time, he seemed to see a smooth road to the sky.
They originally wanted to rest for a while at a tea shop on the side before setting off.
After their shopkeeper heard that his surname was Sheng, and that he was going to Houcheng to join his master and his brothers, he said that he was also going back to Houcheng and could take them with him.
Fortunately, the other party gave them a ride, otherwise they would still have a long way to go before they could get on the carriage.
Lu Wei smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'll come along too."
He glanced at the courtyard gate. This was where the Sixth Madam's brother and his master's brothers worked.
He said to himself, we will become a family from now on, so you are welcome.
