"Is this thing hard to buy? Who did it? Cui Renxuan stroked a strand of hair hanging down from his forehead and asked a little strangely.

The steward turned sideways slightly, and the subordinate next to him immediately replied: "It's hard to buy it, according to them, those who make cement now are for their own use, and they will only sell it to the outside world after their own use, so the outside world can't get the goods!" ”

After the servant finished speaking, the steward continued: "And this cement, as far as the old slave knows, is made by the Marquis of Sanyuan County, for some reason, he sold the recipe to a few acquaintances, our family has no friendship with him, and there is no contact with those emerging nobles who have a recipe, so I didn't come to buy it." ”

Cui Renxuan's face was sad and joyless, just a building material, with or without it, it has not been all over for thousands of years, and a mere recipe can't get into his eyes, but he doesn't even give the Cui family face, he can't care about it!

"It's okay, it's just a recipe, we came to ask for it and fell behind, hum, what others have, my Cui family wants, and it doesn't have to be so troublesome! Charge! ”

"In ......"

"Send someone to inform Jinfu, Junhao, Zhehan, and Xinpeng, and say that I have something to discuss!"

"Yes!"

The housekeeper hurriedly got up and went out, and then ordered a few people to go out to deliver the letter, and the few people who said in the mouth of the young master were all children of several old families who knew each other, and so on after the order to send the letter, he hesitated, or did not inform the master of the house, in his mind, this is also the temporary battle of the young master, just like a fight in the past, it is not a big deal.

"Don't worry, nothing can happen, what can happen? …”

The moon sets and the sun rises, and it is a new day, on the majestic court of the Tang Dynasty, perhaps because of the successive victories in the past few days, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty have a happy atmosphere, and even the previous-for-tat * and the Qin Wang Party are rare and clean for a few days, since no one can help anyone, it is strange to fight every day......

There hasn't been anything major happening recently, so after Xiao Yu and Pei Lian, who were in the lead, talked about a few inconsequential things, the court fell into silence, and looking at this, Li Yuan, who couldn't lift his spirits, was ready to disperse.

"Enlighten the saint, the minister has something to play!"

An official dressed in a seven-rank imperial history robe hugged Beban and shouted, breaking the temporary silence in the court.

Li Yuan looked up at this person, and raised his hand casually: "Speak!" ”

After the imperial history bent down and saluted, he coughed lightly, and then spoke: "Qi Yu Sheng, the minister heard that there is a cement thing that has been prevalent in Chang'an recently, this thing is magical, and the consolidation of the city, the construction of the border has a role that can not be ignored, the minister thinks, in order to prevent this thing from being obtained by the enemy, I sincerely ask the emperor to take back the right to make this thing back to the state, so that it can be used by my Tang Dynasty!" So as not to cause trouble! ”

As soon as the words fell, several people walked out of the crowd on both sides one after another, Gu was a seven-grade official, and said in unison: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji in the court immediately chuckled in his heart, and his eyes swept around, and sure enough, several people who had cement kilns at home stared at these little officials with anger on their faces, eager to kick these people out of the court one by one, but these people are now coming with great righteousness, and the few people who pressed them did not dare to come out of the ranks at all, for fear that if they stood up and refute, they would be regarded as villains competing with the country.

Li Yuan obviously hadn't heard of the name of cement, and it was impossible for the king of a country to know everything under his feet, so he was also interested when he heard the words, and he held up the dragon case and said to the few people below: "Oh? And such curiosities? Who made it? Why haven't you heard of it before? ”

"Back to the saint, it is made by the Marquis of Sanyuan County, Xiao Han!" Someone at the bottom replied.

"Xiao Han......" Li Yuan muttered in his mouth, and immediately remembered the young figure in the palace that day, and he was a little distracted for a while.

The eldest grandson Wuji's kung fu of observing words and emotions has already reached the realm, and when he saw the emperor's thinking, he knew that he still remembered Xiao Han, and he remembered it very deeply, otherwise it would have been played at this time, a person who only won the throne by grabbing territory, what is it to grab something again? !

Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji took advantage of the fact that the group of people did not continue to ask, and hurriedly came out of the queue and arched his hand: "Holy Lord, the minister knows a little about this!" In fact, when the cement developed by Hou Xiaohan of Sanyuan County was successful, he sent the recipe to the King of Qin to consolidate the city in the northwest, and it was made clear early on that it was used by the country, and he did not take a penny, so the righteousness really moved us, if we forcibly collect the cement recipe, it is tantamount to hurting the hearts of loyal and righteous people, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it should be based on benevolence and righteousness, and this is really killing the chicken and taking the eggs, and the future is very troublesome! ”

"Nonsense, I think you have a cement workshop at home, and you are reluctant to go to diplomacy, and the righteousness you are still talking about here is awe-inspiring!"

The prince sent a person who had long been unhappy to see King Qin get cement here, so where could he not jump out and say a few words at this time?

The eldest grandson Wuji pointed to the person who spoke and laughed, laughed, and then said: "No wonder some people say that the most important thing in this world is to be angry and laughing at fools, although this cement kiln is magical, but my eldest grandson's family has not built a kiln, I'm afraid it will disappoint you!" ”

What the eldest grandson Wuji said is indeed true, although he also has a prescription in his hand, but he is only locked in the secret room, compared with the big things he is doing now, just a cement is not enough to distract him.

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, a few people on King Qin's side immediately laughed, and this time, it angered the people on the prince's side, seeing that the two factions were about to clash again, Li Yuan on the dragon chair slapped the table heavily: "All retreat, a dignified and powerful minister of a country, you have to ignore your face for these things?" This matter will be discussed again tomorrow, and the Ministry of Industry will be left behind...... Huang Fuqi also stayed! ”

As soon as they saw that the Son of Heaven was angry, the people of the two factions were as weak as cicadas, and they hurriedly confessed and retreated, and the few officials who came out at the beginning only found that the difference between their status and the latecomers was more than a little bit and a half, and in these people, there was no part for them to speak! As a result, except for the first few sentences, they were all watching from the wall, and in the end, as soon as the emperor slapped the table, they could only follow the ministers out of the palace in a daze.

"How is this good, how is it completely different from what I thought at the beginning?" As soon as several people left the palace gate, they immediately gathered together in panic to discuss countermeasures.

And this scene happened to be inadvertently glimpsed by the eldest grandson Wuji, who walked out of the palace with the flow of people, and the eldest grandson Wuji has always been sharp-eyed, and at a glance, he recognized these people who were the ones who came out of the queue at the beginning, and they didn't know what they were talking about when they got together.

After a deep glance at a few people, he remembered the names of several people in his heart, and when he returned home, he repaired a book and sent it to Sanyuan County as soon as possible.

"Bastard thing!"

"The old man is angry, the old man is angry, Ren Xuan is also for our Cui family......"

In the Cui family's compound, the current head of the family smashed several letters on the head of Cui Renxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and a jeweled lady next to him hurriedly knelt next to Cui Renxuan to intercede for him.

The head of the Cui family was a tall middle-aged man, dressed in a decent luxurious robe that was a little scattered at the moment, his fingers trembled and pointed at the two people on the ground, and he said angrily: "For the Cui family? Idle all day long, just idle and idle, today you dare to go past the old man and directly borrow those stammering petty officials to deal with a person who has not dealt with half of the point? If you don't remember it today, he may not be able to cause much trouble in the future! ”

After that, the middle-aged man flicked his sleeves fiercely and yelled at the door: "Cui Wen Cui Wu!" Send this rebel to the ancestral hall for me, and ask for family law! ”

Cui Renxuan, who knelt on the ground without saying a word, trembled all over when he heard the word family law, and his eyes changed suddenly, as if he had heard the most terrifying thing.

When the lady next to her heard this, her face instantly turned pale, and she cried and hugged the middle-aged man's leg and said: "Master, no, master, Ren Xuan's body is weak and he can't bear the family law, you just hit him a few times and scold him a few words to get angry, you can't use the family law!" Ren Xuan, you should say sorry to your father! ”

Cui Renxuan's lips trembled slightly, he didn't know why his father was so angry today, just for a mere county marquis? The last time he smoked the viscount who crashed into his carriage on the street, he had only thought about it behind closed doors for three days, so why did he ask for the family law today?

When the lady saw Cui Renxuan carrying it and not speaking, she suddenly became anxious, stood up, and slapped Cui Renxuan in the face.

The middle-aged man was a little unbearable to hear this crisp slap, although he also had a few sons, but the others were all concubines, only Ren Xuan was the eldest son, because of this identity, he had been favored since he was a child, but except for the problem of developing a little empty arrogance, the others were really not too out of line.

Waving his hand to let Cui Wen and Cui Wu, who were standing on the side, go out, the middle-aged man sighed and sat down on the low couch, although the tall Taishi chair has been extremely popular in Chang'an recently, but the head of the Cui family of the thousand-year-old family still insists on using the things handed down from his ancestors.

"Not convinced, right......"

"Nope!"

Looking at the eldest son with his neck stalked, the middle-aged man suddenly recalled his young time, when he was even more unruly than him, always thinking that the world was big and Lao Tzu was the biggest, but until he met that person and suffered the biggest loss in his life, he knew that in this world, he was really nothing.

took out a silk brocade square from his sleeve, crumpled it and threw it in front of his son, watching his son pick it up and slowly wipe the blood left at the corner of his mouth, the middle-aged man slowly glanced at the lady again.

"Master, the concubine is retiring..."

With a look, the lady knew that the lord had something to say to his son, and in a big family, women can't listen to conversations between men, even if one of these two people is her husband and the other is her son
