Chapter 116 Cement appears
After New Year’s Eve, it is the new year.
Yunzhi never thought that her mother would actually hold a ceremony for her to celebrate her fifteenth birthday and coming-of-age ceremony.
She will be sixteen in just four months.
Considering that Yun Zhi’s status is different now, not many people were invited to this birthday party.
We only invited the Lin family and some close friends.
But the scene was extremely lively.
That day, everyone sincerely wished Yunzhi peace, happiness and success.
The rest time is always short, and the Lantern Festival is over in the blink of an eye.
Officials also began to take up their duties and handle official business, and military generals also set out to capture the remaining Yanzhong County.
At this time, Li Wenyan changed into a new set of clothes.
"Madam, please take a look for me and see if this is appropriate."
Shen Yuan looked him up and down and smoothed out the wrinkles.
"No, it's fine."
"Then... then I'll be leaving first."
Shen Yuan nodded.
As if she thought of something, she went back into the house and took out some candy.
"Take this with you. Today is your first day on duty. Distribute these to your colleagues."
Li Wenyan took the candy his wife handed him and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing him take it, Shen Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
You can never go wrong with this gift.
Looking at the somewhat uneasy Li Wenyan, she smiled gently, "Husband, don't be nervous. You should also go out more and make some friends."
When he was following Marquis Anding, he had always been conducting research at home, never going out, and rarely communicating with other people.
So when that incident happened, he was the only one facing Marquis Anding.
"No, I'll be leaving first. My wife can just wait for me at home until I'm done with my shift."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."
"Ah."
After following Marquis Anding for a long time, Li Wenyan had some savings. After coming here, he hurried to buy this house and purchased several slaves.
Thinking about going on duty, he bought another carriage.
After seeing him leave, Shen Yuan carried a basket and prepared to go to the market to buy some things to reward her husband for his first day on duty.
Since arriving here, Shen Yuan has been busy buying houses, servants, and buying New Year's goods, so he is not very familiar with this place.
But, she likes it here very much.
The people here are full of vitality, with sparkles in their eyes and are warm and welcoming.
Knowing that you are new here, they will give you a discount on everything.
A scene of prosperity.
While Shen Yuan was strolling around the market with her maid, Li Wenyan finally arrived at the workshop.
Looking at the magnificent building in front of him, he took a deep breath and walked in.
The official at the door looked at the unfamiliar face with some confusion, "Who are you?"
Looking at the person who stopped him, Li Wenyan remembered what his wife had told him, and took out some candy from the bag and handed it to him.
The officer who was stuffed with a few candies was a little confused. What was going on? Did he want to bribe him?
This won’t do. No outsiders are allowed to enter here.
Before he could say anything to dissuade him, Li Wenyan took out his hastily made identity card.
"My lord asked me to come here for duty today."
The officer took the ID card and looked at it. "So it's you, Lord Li. Zhang Gongcao told me you would be coming today."
He pointed to the temporarily added name and said, "Master Li, just circle it here."
"Hey, good."
After seeing Li Wenyan draw the circle, he said, "Master Li, please wait inside for a moment. Zhang Gongcao will come and arrange things for you."
"Thank you for letting me know."
When Li Wenyan walked in, many people had already arrived and he distributed candies to everyone one by one.
Some officials who had gifts with them would return the gift immediately, while some who had nothing with them could only think about returning the gift next time.
For a moment, the atmosphere became harmonious.
The workshop had to handle a wide range of affairs, including engineering construction, water conservancy, transportation, and weapons manufacturing, so naturally there were quite a lot of people.
After a while, many people came one after another.
Fortunately, Shen Yuan gave him enough, a few for each person, so everyone could get one.
After waiting here for a quarter of an hour, he finally saw Zhang Gongcao, whom the officer had mentioned.
"Is it Master Li?"
"It's the lower official."
Zhang Gongcao nodded and said, "I'm the Gongcao here. Let me show you around here today."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
After taking Li Wenyan for a walk, he brought him into the room where he handled official business.
Zhang Gongcao looked at the young man in front of him. It was said that he was very good at developing weapons.
"Sir Li, I want to discuss something with you."
"We are developing a weapon that has great lethality."
Next, he told Li Wenyan about the thunder bomb that was to be developed.
"Right now, we're stuck on making the shell."
After all, to make this thing, you must have a strong shell to withstand the pressure of the explosion and protect the gunpowder inside.
Hearing these words, Li Wenyan's eyes became brighter and brighter. "Can I go and do this?"
"I'm telling you this because I hope you can go. It's just for safety, and the noise might disturb others. The place is about ten miles away in the mountains."
Hearing about such a far distance, Li Wenyan frowned, "Then can I take my wife with me?"
Hearing this, Zhang Gongcao thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and said, "Master Li, just write your name on it."
Li Wenyan took the paper and looked at it with some confusion.
It turned out that what was written here was that if he leaked this matter to outsiders, his entire family would be executed.
"I hope Lord Li can understand. After all, this is not a trivial matter."
"really."
After saying this, Li Wenyan signed his name neatly.
After putting the paper away, Zhang Gongcao looked at him and said, "Then please go home and pack up, Master Li. Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."
After buying all the vegetables, Shen Yuan walked home happily.
As a result, when she returned to the house, she saw her husband coming back and her face turned pale.
"My husband, this is..."
Did he offend someone on his first day on duty and get sent back?
Or was it that he was not used to facing so many people and came back on his own in a fit of excitement?
Just as she was daydreaming, Li Wenyan pulled her into the dormitory and told her what had happened today.
"Ma'am, let's go together."
"Can I go?"
"Master Zhang agreed."
"it is good."
……
In the blink of an eye, it is already March.
Today, Liu Anruo came to report on his work.
At this time.
"My lord, Mr. Chu Gongcao from the workshop requests to see you."
Chu Gongcao is responsible for managing cement.
"Invite her in."
"Yes."
After a while, a woman in dark green clothes walked in.
As soon as he saw Yunzhi, he knelt down on his knees excitedly.
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord."
"Oh? Why are you so happy?"
"Cement...we have developed it."
