Zhao Hao was stunned, and immediately said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, our Dagan only produces 100,000 kilograms of iron every year?"
He knew that Dagan's annual iron output must not be high.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed Princess Yongning's help when he was making the water-jacketed boiler and radiator last winter.
However, he never expected that it would be so little.
Jiang Wan'er glanced at him and said, "To be exact, it should be more than 80,000 kilograms. I said 100,000 kilograms just to make it sound better."
"In addition, we have been engaged in battles repeatedly from last year to this year, which has consumed a lot of iron."
"Don't even mention 10,000 catties. I can't even give you 1,000 catties."
Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."
Jiang Wan'er waved her hand and said, "How about this, when the iron shipment from Shu arrives, I will give you 5,000 kilograms."
"If that's not enough, then there's nothing I can do."
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, five thousand kilograms is five thousand kilograms."
In fact, Zhao Hao asked for too much, ten thousand kilograms.
It is not actually needed, at least not in the short term.
However, if you want to refine a reed with appropriate strength and flexibility, you must keep trying in the early stages.
In this way, the consumption will not be small.
However, five thousand kilograms is not bad.
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Majesty, I plan to further expand the scale of the papermaking workshop and the soap workshop."
“So, we need manpower.”
"As for the porcelain workshop, Your Majesty should send someone to take over it."
"After all, the porcelain workshop is directly under the imperial court. It would not be a good idea to leave it to me all the time."
"To prevent gossip."
"Besides, the workshop is now on the right track and no longer needs me to control it."
Jiang Wan'er's beautiful eyes moved when she heard this: "The porcelain workshop is a very profitable place. I don't know how many people want to get in."
"You know, during the time you were away."
"Whether it is within the royal family or among the ministers in the court, many people have expressed this idea."
"I beat them all back."
"You really don't feel reluctant at all. I haven't even talked to you yet, but you can't wait any longer!"
Zhao Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, that's perfect. If anyone wants to take charge, just choose a suitable one."
Jiang Wan'er said, "Originally, if you wanted to manage it, I would let you manage it all the time. After all, the workshop is on your farm."
"But since you don't want to, I won't force you."
"Let me think about this for a while and give you a reply soon."
"Once we have a definite candidate, we will hand over the job to you."
Zhao Hao nodded quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
Jiang Wan'er rolled her eyes and asked, "I heard that you were in Shu and had a hot relationship with the twelfth princess of Shu?"
"Is that the case?"
When Zhao Hao heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then he swallowed and nodded weakly.
“Yes…”
"It is true..."
"But your majesty, please listen to my explanation."
"The twelfth princess of Shu Kingdom approached me for her own ulterior motives."
"I was just following the situation and going with the flow."
As he spoke, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Jiang Wan'er, only to see a half-smile on Jiang Wan'er's face, and he didn't know whether she was angry or not.
She looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes and snorted, "You can even kill a young widow who has given birth to a child."
"I think you are really hungry and have no choice but to eat!"
Zhao Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, Li Yu is the Empress of Shu, who was sent to get close to me. I really have no other choice..."
Jiang Wan'er said, "By the way, the Empress of Shu is also a wild and lustful person. Didn't she take the initiative to ask you to serve her?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao quickly waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not. I know the seriousness of this matter."
"Even if she really said so, I will never agree to it!"
"During my time in the capital of Shu, I only met the Empress of Shu twice."
"On one occasion, he actually mentioned the matter of recruiting a minister as the emperor's son-in-law."
"But he only said a few words and then let it go."
"As for the rest, there is absolutely nothing."
Jiang Wan'er snorted, "I was just saying it casually, why are you so nervous?"
"I am very confident in you, otherwise I would not have given you the power to rule on your own!"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Wan'er said, "It's best not to let Yongning know about this, so as not to make that girl sad."
"During the time you were in Shu, that girl was so obsessed with you that she lost her appetite."
"If she knew that you were having an affair with a young widow in Shu, how would she feel?"
Zhao Hao hurriedly said: "Yes, I know what to do."
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "Okay, is there anything else to say?"
Zhao Hao paused, then shook his head: "No more."
Jiang Wan'er said, "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me to treat you to dinner?"
Zhao Hao subconsciously said, "That's not impossible."
Jiang Wan'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did you say?"
Zhao Hao quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing. I will take my leave now."
After saying this, he quickly bowed and walked out.
After coming out of the Pepper Room, he let out a long breath and then muttered to himself in annoyance.
"You bluebird, don't let me see you again, or I'll make you pay!"
"It really pissed me off!"
"We've been colleagues for a while after all, but you sold me out right after I got back!"
"That's too disloyal!"
He really didn't expect that Jiang Wan'er even knew about Li Yu.
speechless.
Forget it, just know it now.
By the way, now that I have returned to the capital, it is time to write a letter to Li Yu.
This was already agreed upon when we left the imperial capital of Shu.
If the other party wants to come over, he will continue.
If you don't want to come, that's fine.
Jiang Wan'er, on the other end, watched Zhao Hao leave and shook her head helplessly.
Then he slowly sat down and continued to get busy.
After coming out of the palace, Zhao Hao got on the carriage and went back to the first floor.
Now that we have decided to open a clock workshop, we must start right away.
Although there is no iron yet, other preparatory work such as site selection must be arranged as soon as possible.
Choosing a site is easy, as long as it is within the city.
The cost of East City is too high, so you can choose West City.
More suitable.
Find a larger house, make some modifications to it, and process different parts separately.
Then, find the most trusted servant in your family to do the final assembly and debugging.
This job doesn't require too many people.
It’s relatively simple.
Mainly iron.
