Zhao Ce, who was raised by a rich woman at home, suddenly became tough.

In addition to the money from buying a house, Zhao Ce's money was basically replaced with firewood.

Batches of firewood were transported to the suburbs.

The villagers in that village took advantage of the fact that they were not alive in the winter and almost all of them wanted to help Zhao Ce make charcoal.

Zhao Ce divided everyone into good labor and used a flow-through production line to protect his charcoal-making technology.

Everyone understands the process of ordinary charcoal making.

The temperature control and fire extinguishing process of this Yinbo Charcoal are what Zhao Ce really wants to protect.

When the charcoal kiln is about to be opened, it will be temporarily closed with a straw shed, and only Zhao Ce’s own people are allowed to use the fine sand to extinguish the fire.

These people who signed additional protection agreements and held the contract of selling their bodies in their own hands are all trustworthy people for Zhao Ce.

It's almost December now, and everyone is thinking about making more money for the New Year.

So the people in the charcoal kiln here work very hard.

The charcoal in a kiln was constantly burning, and the sorters were squatting on the ground, carefully selecting the defective products and piled them aside.

After silver bone charcoal was sold in the capital, it was time to rest at the beginning of the month.

Zhao Ce brought a basket of silver bone charcoal and some other gifts, and went directly to the Liu Mansion.

Originally, he prepared a gift to visit Xu's mansion, but Lord Xu resigned as admiral next year and is now waiting for the successor to pass by the local people.

I guess I won’t be able to come back during the Chinese New Year this year.

So Zhao Ce had to send some gifts and half a stone of silver bone charcoal.

After arriving at Liu's mansion, he was soon taken to the hall because he had delivered a visit in advance.

The Liu Mansion's house is indeed quite large, and there are not many servants.

When I entered the house, the decorations inside were similar to those of Mr. Cao, whom Zhao Ce had met in the mansion in the city before.

It's just a big house, and no expensive decorations are common.

But Mr. Cao was stingy.

And Liu's family, this is simply because of poverty...

After waiting for a while, an old man wearing a thick cloak and coughing from time to time walked in from behind the door.

The old man looks very old, with drooping eyelids and looks a little uninspired.

However, when those eyes saw Zhao Ce, Zhao Ce found a pair of clear eyes that were covered by the half-drooping eyelids that were different from those of the old man.

How do you say this look?

It seems a bit familiar...

The old man I saw at the city gate that day seemed to have such a clear and clear look.

The visitor was Liu Daxia, one of the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi" in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Liu Daxia is very old, she walks quite steadily.

Walked into the hall by himself.

Zhao Ce quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Liu, the younger Zhao Ce, whose courtesy name is Linzhi."

"Previously, Lord Liu sent his family to help his younger generation settle in the capital, and came to thank him."

Since receiving Zhao Ce's visit, Liu Daxia has been busy with political affairs.

Today the housekeeper came to inform him, and he remembered this incident.

After Liu Daxia sat down, he nodded slightly at Zhao Ce: "Uncle Zhao is intent."

Zhao Ce observed Liu Daxia, and Liu Daxia naturally observed Zhao Ce.

He is handsome and has a polite manner, and has made great contributions to protecting so many people.

I have not yet obtained the imperial examination knowledge, but since I am a little Sanyuan, my knowledge is naturally not bad.

There is also the way to keep accounts, and the arithmetic book that is still lying in his study.

Such talents are not inferior to those who have invited all the famous teachers since childhood.

Liu Daxia touched his beard with satisfaction and invited Zhao Ce to sit down.

Soon a servant brought hot tea.

Liu Daxia asked on his own initiative: "I heard you have already decided on that house?"

Liu Daxia also heard about the house that Zhao Ce bought.

When the butler of the Liu Mansion saw the Jinyiwei, he hurriedly came back to report to him about the matter.

The thing that he had originally agreed to take him to do was not done, but when Liu Daxia sent someone to ask, he learned that Zhao Ce had bought a house and settled down.

When I saw him today, Liu Daxia naturally had to ask more questions.

Liu Daxia is in a high position and is not very familiar with Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce never expected that this high-ranking official would ask him about it.

Moreover, when he spoke to Zhao Ce, he felt that some elders cared about the younger generation.

This also made Zhao Ce feel a lot more relaxed.

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Yes, I'm anxious to settle down, so I bought the house directly."

After saying that, he talked about his affairs in the Imperial College.

Liu Daxia did not hold his own identity, and the atmosphere in the house was quite harmonious.

After talking for a while, Liu Daxia took the initiative to mention: "I sent your arithmetic book to the capital before, and I have almost finished proofreading."

"It happened that you came today, so I will ask you for your opinion."

Zhao Ce nodded and quietly waited for Liu Daxia's words.

Liu Daxia took a sip of tea and said, "I have read your arithmetic book several times. The one I wrote is easy to understand, which is different from the arithmetic book currently in our Ming Dynasty."

"So, I am going to present this book to wait for several cabinet masters and His Majesty to decide whether to directly print and publish it by the government."

After hearing this, Zhao Ce was stunned.

Previously, Liu Ruyu said that his book might be sealed by official seals. After all, if his father Liu Daxia came forward to help him proofread, the book would definitely be sought after by scholars.

Even if they are not interested in arithmetic, they are interested in the identity of the proofreader!

Now I never thought that Liu Daxia would really take the initiative to submit it for him.

Zhao Ce quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu for your support."

Liu Daxia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although you are proficient in miscellaneous studies, you should not waste your studies for this."

"You have obtained a title by yourself, but you have chosen to go to the Imperial College, which shows that you are a person with lofty ambitions."

"Since that's the case, you need to study hard."

Zhao Ce respectfully bowed and responded.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, for your teaching, students should remember it in their hearts."

Liu Daxia said with satisfaction: "Today, your family has just arrived in the capital, so I guess there are still many things to settle."

"Go back."

"If there is anything, just send someone to my Liu Mansion and say it."

"Although I'm poor, I can still do it if I want to help you."

Liu Daxia said that if the book has news, people will go to Zhao Ce’s mansion to notify him.

When Zhao Ce walked out of Liu's mansion, his steps were still a little drifting.

This official printing requires the promotion of its own books to the entire Ming Dynasty's towns and villages.

When Liu Ruyu told him, Zhao Ce didn't have any practical feelings.

Now that after Liu Daxia's mouth, this matter has basically been decided.

A cold wind blew through the snow on the ground, making Zhao Ce squint slightly.
