When her daughter said this, Chen's face turned red. She lived here for two days, and she also saw that the mental outlook of the people here is different from other places, and even her daughter has become different.

"If my mother doesn't learn, don't you feel ashamed?"

Zhang Lianzi was taken aback, she didn't think her mother was ugly, but she couldn't say that, otherwise her mother wouldn't want to improve, so she nodded her head, "Mother, everyone here can read, but you can't, indeed Disgraceful."

"Okay, my mother will learn." Chen said with determination.

Chang Xi didn't listen any more after hearing this. Mothers who are willing to make progress for their daughters can still be saved at least, but the spirit she learned by herself is not as strong as that of a group of people, so she privately said to Zhang Lianzi, "Take your mother to the school every day. Listening to lectures in the workshop is good for her to broaden her mind."

Zhang Lianzi's eyes lit up, "Can my mother go to class?"

"Of course." Chang Xi smiled, "Let your mother go to class first, so that she can improve her knowledge. I'll see if there is a suitable job for her in the future, and then I can make arrangements."

Zhang Lianzi nodded hurriedly, and really took her mother to the workshop to attend classes almost every day.

The class time of the workshop is fixed, but the workers will only come to attend the class when they are off work. Everyone has a class schedule, and they must take enough class hours every day to be considered successful in the assessment.

At the beginning, Chen was embarrassed, but seeing people older than her come to class to learn how to read, she gradually let go of her hands and feet, and she was able to chat with people around her. Communication makes people improve very quickly. Every day, I can take the initiative to come to class energetically.

Seeing her mother's little progress, Zhang Lianzi is not to mention how happy she is. It would be great if her eldest brother Zhang Yingda came back. The life of the family of three must be better than before.

She didn't dare to ask Chang Xi often, so she had to ask Sister Dongli every few days at the right time.

Dongli had a good impression of this little girl, and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Chang is paying attention to this matter, and your brother will definitely come back."

That being said, it's still tricky.

With Zhang Lianzi on her back, she reported to Chang Xi in this way, "That Nanny Tao intervened, and now because Chang Kui killed Zhou Afa, whether it was manslaughter or intentional homicide is a matter of debate, so Mr. Zhou has not judged the case for a long time. , the case has been dragged down..."

"The pressure from Nanny Tao?" Chang Xi frowned slightly. Would a famous post from the mighty Marquis Mansion be so useful?Why is she so unbelievable?

Dong Li said, "I'm not sure at the moment, but Chang Dadou and Mrs. Li hired a lawyer to help Chang Kui fight this lawsuit. That lawyer is so powerful that he can say anything wrong with his mouth."

Chang Xi laughed when he heard this, what did Chang Dadou and Li Shi know about hiring a lawyer?There was another person behind these two who gave advice, and this person was targeting Tao Nanny. With Tao Nanny's temperament, she definitely hoped to close the case as soon as possible and did not want to procrastinate.

And she also vaguely guessed who the person who disturbed the water was. If it was because of her that the case became complicated, then there was no need.

Mr. Dong and Mr. Sun, the servants of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, who came from the capital, were ill for several days because they were not acclimatized to the environment. When their health improved, they dared not delay any longer. Look at that steam exhauster.

Chang Xi went to greet her in person.

Along the way from the city to this other courtyard, the two adults from the capital felt that the suburbs were particularly bustling and bustling. Even the road had been widened a lot, and they were not so bumpy in the carriage.

Mr. Dong, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, felt the most. He looked at the road outside, "Is this newly built?"

Master Zhou, who was riding a horse beside the carriage, hurriedly said, "Yes, because there are two major workshops here, so Mrs. Chang proposed to repair this road, which is also paid for by the workshops." Not funded by local finance.

Mr. Dong immediately looked at Mr. Sun at the side. It seems that you can get things done without your household department.

Mr. Sun turned his face away, and talked about whether he had any money, and he was dying. In a word, the household department has no money.

Mr. Dong cheerfully asked questions while looking at the customs, while Mr. Zhou accompanied him almost cautiously.

Chang Xi, who also chose to ride a horse, did not get close to the two adults, but walked side by side with Yuan Hao, and she had to say something.

"Master Yuan, my two poor parents should have disturbed you a lot recently, I am deeply sorry, the case of my younger brother is punishable according to the laws of the country, I don't want to violate the laws of the country, so please don't meddle in this case... ..."

Yuan Hao was slightly taken aback, but he was not surprised that Chang Xi would guess that he was interfering. The reason why he did this was to put pressure on Nanny Tao, and the ultimate goal was for Chang Xi.

"No, Mrs. Chang, I did this for a purpose, just listen to me carefully."

Chang Xi frowned slightly, "Lord Yuan, I don't want to pursue the past, but I just hope that this case can be closed as soon as possible, so that innocent people can be exonerated."

"Ms. Chang, you can't say that. This matter is very important. Please forgive me for not not pursuing it, because it is also related to my interests." Yuan Hao said seriously.

Chang Xi understood now that Yuan Hao didn't want to marry Han Yongzhu, that's why he was so concerned about this matter.

Since he had such a request, it was not her turn to speak, "Master Yuan, forgive me for disturbing you." She simply rode a step ahead and stopped walking alongside him.

Yuan Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, he was nosy when he came here today, because this errand has nothing to do with him, he just wanted to see her more, so he followed her cheekily.

Now it seems that what he did made her unhappy, so he wisely stopped following the other courtyard, and told Mr. Zhou, he turned his horse and returned to the city.

Chang Xi naturally saw Yuan Hao leaving suddenly, and knew that what she had done just now had hurt his heart, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. She hoped that Yuan Hao would still be the same Yuan Hao as before, instead of falling into an affair with her children and being unable to get out. This falls to the bottom.

Mr. Zhou didn't care much about Yuan Hao's departure, he just nodded to his entourage to express his understanding.

Mr. Dong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Mr. Sun, the minister of the household department, did not pay attention to Yuan Hao's departure at all, but watched with interest the workers who got off work went back in twos and threes. But it's not like the words of a big boss who can't read big characters.

Mr. Zhou hurriedly told what he knew, and the two adults sitting in the carriage couldn't help opening their mouths, what else?It is actually mandatory for people to read and write, but the effect is good. It can be seen that these villagers have been educated well.

They were not used to seeing Xi riding a horse along the way, but it was undeniable that this woman was really courageous.

When they arrived at the other courtyard, Chang Xi hurriedly got off her horse and went to meet the two adults. The two adults looked at her with a lot of admiration, and their attitude was not as cold and rigid as before. This is a good start.

The company and Chang Xi are old acquaintances, and they have known for a long time that she manages the workshop and rigidly stipulates the strange requirements for learning, so it is no surprise to see her.

Although it is called Bieyuan, the inside has been remodeled, and it is no longer the same as Bieyuan, but each researcher occupies their own territory, and it is not as elegant as before.

"Mr. Chang, do you study other things in this research institute?" Master Dong asked curiously.

Chang Xi stepped forward and said, "Yes, our research covers many aspects..." She gave one or two easy-to-understand examples to illustrate.

Master Dong was amazed when he heard that, this was much more self-conscious than that of the Ministry of Industry.

Mrs. Lin also came over to the research institute today, and when he saw Chang Xi accompanying those adults, he hurried forward and bowed to salute.

Seeing the old man who looked like a retired elder, Mr. Dong and Mr. Sun did not dare to take Joe, but humbled a little. Only the company still held his head high.

Next, I saw that the process of the steam exhaust machine was extremely smooth. As an expert, Mr. Dong was surprised when he saw the ingenious working principle.

"Who came up with this? Such a genius."

Lin Yuqi was pushed to the front of the stage at once, and Chang Xi gave him all the applause that should be given to him. He deserved it, but everyone saw that Lin Yuqi was not good at socializing, so they only encouraged him a few words, and did not hold him back. People don't let go.

Mrs. Lin felt that the happiest thing in his life was now that his grandson was promising, and he was happier than he was when he was an official.

Mr. Sun, the household servant, is more concerned about the cost. The treasury has no money, so the price must be kept to a minimum.

On this issue, Chang Xi argued hard and did not give in easily.

Of course, the remuneration paid does not have to be money, it can be other things.

"Pay with iron ore?" Mr. Sun asked in surprise, "Is that okay?"

"As long as the imperial court can get it out, it's fine." Chang Xi said, "I'll also explain to Lord Sun, because this machine can only be made of iron, not wood, so a lot of iron ore will be used. , and this thing is controlled by the imperial court, and there is a quota for private use, our production is very restricted by this, if Mr. Sun is able to use this to pay a certain amount of remuneration, we are very welcome."

Mr. Sun's inherent thinking has been hit a lot. Chang Xi's proposal is quite tempting. If iron ore can be used to replace part of the silver, it will be a good thing for the treasury. However, whether this opening can be opened depends on the court. To decide, he does not have such great authority.

However, the company tried its best to facilitate this business, so he urged Mr. Sun and Mr. Dong to write a joint note on the spot, and sent it back to the capital overnight.

Mr. Dong didn't want to care about it, but because of the company's presence, he had no choice but to write his name on the booklet.

The memorial was sent back to the capital overnight, and within a short time, a huge stone was thrown at the dull court meeting.

"How can such a large amount of iron ore be given away casually? What if someone uses it for rebellion?" Someone was extremely worried.

Someone also took the notebook written by Mr. Sun and said, "This lists how much iron ore a machine will use. If we control the amount we give, they won't have excess, so there is no need to worry about someone Use these iron ores to make a fuss..."
