I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 273 This is Liuli
Cooperating with the royal family was a decision she made on the spur of the moment, without the consent of the rest of the Chai family.

She knew the temper of the Chai family, if she really told them about it.

Maybe something will go wrong.

That's why she planned to keep this matter firmly in her heart and didn't plan to speak out.

In her opinion, as long as the Chai family sees that money is credited into the account every month, they probably won't worry about anything else.

After telling everyone to keep their tongues, she suddenly stood up again.

shouted outside,
"Prepare the car!"

The servant just now was also considered loyal, so he quickly said,

"Third Madam, you were sweating profusely just now, what else is there to do in such a hurry, why don't we talk about it until your health is better!"

The third lady said with a solemn face,
"This matter is of great importance, and I must handle it myself."

The domestic servant knew that the third lady had a resolute character, and no one could change what was decided, so he didn't say anything more.

After getting into the carriage, Chen Liu asked,
"Third Madam, where are we going!"

"Go to the Royal Bank!"

Chen Liu muttered to himself, "I just came out of the Royal Bank this morning, and it's not even this afternoon, why are we going again?"

When the third lady was discussing business with Li Tian, ​​she deliberately left him outside. He actually didn't know what happened inside.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, in his capacity, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

The carriage galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the head office of the Royal Bank.

Although the Royal Bank has only opened for a few days, many people know the third wife of the Chai family.

There is no other reason, because she is the first person to borrow more than 1 taels of silver since the opening of the Royal Bank.

Such a person with both background and strength is naturally very popular with the Royal Bank.
This also made the Royal Bank treat her like a VIP.

As soon as he saw his carriage came.

Immediately, someone from the bank greeted him.

"Third Madam, hurry up, shopkeeper Hu is already waiting for you on the second floor."

Through the special VIP passage, the third lady soon came to the second floor.

In a very luxuriously decorated private room, I met Hu Rang, the third treasurer.

Hu Rang invited her to take a seat very politely, and poured her a cup of good tea himself.

"The third lady is here this time, but is there something wrong with the 2 taels loan in the morning!"

The third lady smiled faintly, took the teacup, and took a sip.

"Treasurer Hu, I want to add another 2 taels of loan, but I don't know if Gui Qianzhuang is willing to let it go!"

Hu Rang was taken aback for a moment, but then he laughed loudly and said,
"Look at what you said, the sound of door-to-door, how can our bank push it out? As long as you have a good mortgage, let alone 2 taels, it is 10 taels, 20 taels, we can afford it."

"I just don't know what the third lady plans to use this loan for."

Hearing what he said, the third lady finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't hide from shopkeeper Hu, the slave family is planning to expand Chen Ji..."

……

As soon as Li Tian and others arrived at Tiangongyuan, they ran into Zhou Zhen with an angry face in a hurry.

Seeing Li Tian coming, Zhou Zhen quickly bowed and saluted,
"It is unknown that His Majesty will arrive, but I have lost my way to welcome you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Tian nodded slightly and let him get up.

"What is Zhou Yuanzheng going to do, why is he in such a hurry!"

Zhou Zhen's complexion changed again and again, and finally he had no choice but to report the truth.

"Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, I was ordered to find the best formula for cement. I didn't expect that I have already submitted repeated orders, but some people are still negligent and lazy... Randomly modifying the formula, so that a lot of time was wasted."

Hearing that there seemed to be a problem with the cement formula, Li Tian's expression became serious.

"Tell me what's wrong."

Zhou Zhen sighed first, and then said,

"Actually, I also blame the minister for this matter, because the minister's supervision is not good."

"The craftsmen under me once suggested to me that whether the limestone in the formula is mined or crushed, it takes a lot of time, so it is better to find another material to replace it."

"I would like to follow His Majesty's instructions, and did not agree with them to do so."

"But since a few days ago, those craftsmen who participated in the tap fire and soap making were rewarded, which made other craftsmen jealous."

"So they didn't tell the ministers, they opened the furnace in private, and they actually wanted to use fine sand instead of limestone to make cement!"

Having said that, Zhou Zhen stopped.

Li Tian still didn't hear the point of what he said until now, and asked suspiciously,

"And then, what happened!"

Zhou Zhen was very ashamed and said,

"The fine sand and limestone are not the same thing at all, how could cement be fired."

"The result can be imagined. The cement didn't burn out, but a bunch of strange things came out!"

"If someone hadn't secretly sent the things they burned indiscriminately to the minister, the minister might not have known that they were so reckless."

"I was planning to deal with those reckless craftsmen, but I didn't expect to meet His Majesty here."

Hearing this, Li Tian was not only not angry, but his eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

So he hurriedly said to Zhou Zhen,
"They burnt something, but is it by your side? Show me it!"

Zhou Zhen was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Li Tian meant by doing this.

said with a bitter face,

"Your Majesty, that thing is a pitch-black mass, it's really nothing to see!"

Li Tian pretended to be angry and said,
"Stop talking nonsense, I told you to bring it, you just bring it, bring so much nonsense."

There was no other way, Zhou Zhen had no choice but to temporarily give up the troublesome work of those craftsmen, and turned around and took Li Tian and others to his study, which was his office.

Beside his desk, there is a black and plain basket, in which several groups of dark things are shining under the sunlight.

When Li Tian saw this thing, he was immediately excited.

Regardless of Wang Fu's and others' obstruction, he reached out and picked up the lump, and put it in the sunlight for a careful inspection.

The more he looked at it, the more excited he was, and he said unpretentiously,

"Yes, this thing should be glass, this is a good thing!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Wang Fu and others were stunned, but even Zhou Zhen, the learned and capable director of Tiangong Academy, was also stunned.

"Glass what is glass!"

Seeing that they were all puzzled, Li Tian laughed loudly and said,

"Glass is colored glaze, don't you even know this!"

At this time, as Da Ming, Zhou Zhen, who is the most proficient in the study of Gewu besides Li Tian, ​​said to Li Tian in a crying and laughing tone,

"Your Majesty, colored glaze only has green, blue, red and other colors. I have never heard of black colored glaze in this world. Your Majesty, you must have misread it. This thing cannot be colored glaze."
