Chapter 337 This is really unreasonable
"It is also the Ministry of Revenue's responsibility to improve people's livelihood," Wei Ling said calmly. "If the Ministry of Revenue is willing to provide all the explosives, then you can give the credit for improving the Songshui River and saving the people of Mangcheng from the suffering of the flood to your father-in-law. What do you think?"
After Wei Ling finished speaking, Zheng Wenxiu sat up straight with excitement. She looked at her husband eagerly and wanted to say something, but because Wei Ling and Su Jixiang were still there, she had to keep silent.
Su Jixiang smiled slightly when he saw this, "My Lord, I got something over there, come with me to take a look, let Mr. Cui and his wife stay here for a while."
"Okay. Madam has made a suggestion, and I dare not disobey." Wei Ling stood up and followed Su Jixiang out of the side hall. Su Jixiang also took away all the maids in front of the side hall, leaving the side hall to Cui Yushan and his wife.
After walking far away, Su Jixiang stopped and looked at Wei Ling. "My Lord, this is a good idea." She smiled and said, "If we propose to build such a large project ourselves, I'm afraid His Majesty will not approve it. After all, His Majesty is wary of us. But if the Minister of Revenue proposes it, the effect will be different. And this way, it can be regarded as a clear way from His Majesty, and there will be no more nonsense in the future."
"Madam, you really know everything. I can't hide my thoughts from you." Wei Ling said with a smile. "Madam, your move to take Zheng Wenxiu away from Lee Garden today was also a stroke of genius. When you sent someone to tell me, I knew that you understood me!"
"We can't miss out on the fun outside Li Garden." Su Jixiang winked at Wei Ling cunningly, "It's a fuss after all, I have to show some respect. I think my husband will take this opportunity to bring up the matter of building and expanding the river and reservoir. After all, there are not many opportunities like this, and it's not easy to seize one."
"Madam is truly a good wife and mother!" Wei Ling raised his hand and held Su Jixiang's slender waist.
"Alright, alright, this is so corny. I wonder how long it will take the couple inside to discuss this." Su Jixiang glanced at the door of the side hall far behind her, "Let's give them a little more time." She raised her hand and looked at Wei Ling, "I'll make baked lamb chops tonight."
"Oh. Then I hope the two of them can finish their discussion quickly so that I can enjoy Madam's cooking skills earlier!" Wei Ling said with a smile.
Su Jixiang had made this baked lamb chops once before. Because she couldn't find red wine, Su Jixiang baked it with wine soaked in a kind of mountain red fruit she could find sold in Mangcheng.
This mountain red is hawthorn, which is more sour and requires a series of improvements, but these are not difficult at all for Su Jixiang.
With her skillful cooking, the lamb chops baked with mountain red wine taste even better than those baked with red wine!
The Shanlihong wine can effectively remove the fishy smell of the goat chops. The perfect acidity and sweetness make the goat chops meat softer and more flavorful, increasing the deliciousness of the meat!
Moreover, Su Jixiang's ability to control the heat is already superb. The meat steak is just the right tenderness. When you bite it, your mouth is full of juice and it is soft and tender. There is not even any meat residue left!
Wei Lingzhi couldn't forget it after using it once!
The couple chatted outside for about an incense stick of time, and thinking it was about time, they both went back to the side hall. Su Jixiang coughed loudly, and then signaled Guihua to open the door of the side hall.
When Su Jixiang and Wei Ling walked into the side hall, Cui Yushan and Zheng Wenxiu were both sitting upright, looking straight ahead, probably having almost finished their discussion.
"How is it?" After Wei Ling and Su Jixiang sat down, they didn't waste any more words and asked directly.
"Your Majesty is so magnanimous. If I don't know how to appreciate it, I will be ungrateful!" Cui Yushan glanced at Zheng Wenxiu, gritted his teeth and said.
To be honest, he knew that Wei Ling's suggestion to give the credit to his father-in-law was a good thing.
It's just that he is a little arrogant. He came here to monitor Wei Ling on the orders of His Majesty, but he couldn't get involved in so many important events in Mangcheng. If he were to get involved in this matter, he would only be a mouthpiece, and he would be making wedding dresses for his father-in-law. Cui Yushan was somewhat reluctant in his heart.
But he also knew that without his father-in-law, he would not be able to go far in officialdom just relying on his status as a branch of the empress dowager's lineage!
So this piece of fat meat was really delivered to his father-in-law's mouth, and he really had to play the role of the chopsticks, to put the fat meat steadily into his father-in-law's mouth and watch him eat it!
"That's good!" Wei Ling smiled when he saw this. "Then Lord Cui will release the first batch of gunpowder tomorrow. I will let the Black Tiger Army use this first batch of gunpowder to relieve the suffering of the flood and ease the resentment of the people in Mangcheng."
"That's great!" Cui Yushan had to do it even if he didn't want to! He could only bite the bullet and agree.
"Come here, send Lord Cui and his wife back to Li Garden, using my mansion's carriage!" Wei Ling ordered, "Make sure Lord Cui and his wife are safe!"
Wei Dong responded and went out to prepare the carriage. Soon, he brought Cui Yushan and his wife onto the carriage.
When Cui Yushan and his wife returned to Li Garden in the marquis's carriage, Li Garden was still under siege.
However, when the people besieging Li Garden saw that the carriage coming was from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, they took the initiative to make way for it, allowing the carriage to enter Li Garden smoothly.
Wei Dong sent the person there and then turned back.
Cui Yushan and his wife were a little nervous in Li Garden, fearing that the crowd outside would rush in and cause trouble if they could not control themselves.
The couple were so worried that they didn't even dare to ask the servants to cook when it was dark.
"Sir, Madam, the people outside have retreated!" A guard on duty at the door came to report.
"Retired?" Zheng Wenxiu stood up after hearing this. "When did it happen?"
"Just now. I was standing guard at the door and saw with my own eyes that someone from the Mangcheng government office said a few words to the people, and then the people happily dispersed." said the guard.
"What did the people in the government office say?" Cui Yushan asked.
"The people in the government office said that everyone is great. Lord Cui has already learned about the ice flood and promised to approve gunpowder to blast the ice immediately! Everyone has helped Mangcheng overcome the difficulties!" The guard said while stealing a glance at Cui Yushan, and his words were quite unconfident.
Cui Yushan slammed the table and said angrily, "Listen to what the government is saying! These people were instigated by the Mangcheng government! Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng oppressed me to such an extent! And I still have to help them! How can this be justified!"
