This steward is the youngest among the stewards who helped him build the villa. His surname seems to be Liao, and he is the person in charge of decorating his house this time.
Look, he is about thirty or forty years old, with a dark face and a strong body. He walks with wind at his feet. At first glance, he is a vigorous and resolute person.
Wang Zi'an stopped and said hello with a smile.
"Guanshi Liao——"
The dark-faced Manager Liao immediately smiled excitedly. He could not have imagined that this young Marquis still remembered such a small person like himself, and the expression on his face became more and more respectful.
"When will the tempered glass you mentioned arrive, and those murals you mentioned, should we reserve space first, or should we wait until we see the actual objects before decorating them together? We can estimate the construction period here and see.
Can I finish decorating it for you before the end of the year——"
As he said that, he smiled flatteringly.
There was no way, this was more of a refresher course than a renovation. The Marquis's requests and casual instructions opened their eyes, and they felt as if they had discovered another world.
Whether it was the floor heating installed by the Chengdong construction team, the renovated kitchen, or the renovation of doors and windows, the creation of tables and chairs, and the decoration of the walls that I was responsible for, everything was refreshing and surprising to me.
Wang Zi'an pondered for a moment, smiled and nodded at him.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you all extra later - I will deal with the glass and murals as soon as possible. I estimate that they will be in place in three to five days -"
Manager Liao was convinced and went down in a hurry.
After a while, I heard the cheers of the craftsmen coming from behind.
It is so pleasant to work in the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an.
Not only can I learn a lot of things, but the food is also so good. From time to time, I will also give you snacks and eat a delicious meal of pork that is full of oil.
So beautiful!
"Toughened glass, what tempered glass?"
After Manager Liao left, Li Yuan couldn't help but asked curiously.
When they talked about this that day, Li Yuan, Pei Ji and Chang Le were just a step too late and did not hear Wang Zi'an's introduction to tempered glass.
"Nothing, it's just glass as hard as steel——"
Changle didn't realize what was going on, but Li Yuan and Pei Ji couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.
Glass as hard as steel!
They know that glass means Liuli. Wang Zi’an doesn’t know why, but he often likes to call Liuli glass.
Wang Zi'an was thinking about how to solve the mural problem. He didn't notice the difference in the atmosphere and waved his hand casually.
"By the way, do you know any skilled painters? I still need a few high-end murals in my living room -"
It's not that he doesn't know Yan Liben, but what kind of person is Yan Liben? His father is the former prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, his brother is a great craftsman in the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a doctor in the Ministry of Justice and a minister in the court.
With my own identity, is it possible to come to my door to ask for a painting and have someone paint a mural for me?
Li Shimin doesn't even bring such abuse to others!
Therefore, he didn't dare to think about it, so he thought that he could find a few skilled painters. Anyway, he didn't know how to paint, so he just had something to do with it.
"We know each other, Yan Lide and Yan Liben. These two brothers are both good at painting..."
Li Yuan replied subconsciously, and immediately realized that something was wrong. He raised his head and saw that Wang Zian was looking at him with strange eyes.
He immediately coughed and rushed to remedy the situation.
"Ahem, I just met you once from a distance. I met you once from a distance. We don't have any friendship at all——"
Seeing the old man explaining in a subtle way, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh.
Without exposing him, he teased with a half-smile.
"According to what you said, I know the emperor - I met him once from a distance..."
Li Yuan:......
Can this be the same?
You are the magistrate of the founding of the country, but you don’t even know who the emperor is——
At that moment, the two people looked at each other and smiled, looking at each other as if they were fools.
At this moment, I suddenly saw the young man in green clothes who was guarding the door running over with brisk steps.
"Reporting to the Marquis, Yan Liben, the former doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, who will serve as the young eunuch, is requesting an audience——"
Wang Zi’an:……
Is it so evil?
Mention whoever arrives——
"welcome--"
Wang Meng, the boy in green clothes, immediately went out in high spirits.
It's not easy, I finally met a customer who can stop me...
Li Yuan couldn't help but glance at Pei Ji beside him. Pei Ji immediately understood and stood up with a dry cough.
"My family has some connections with Yan Shaojian. You guys wait here for a moment while I go to greet him——"
Immediately, he quickly followed out.
Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
How come Zian, this brat, is still in contact with Yan Liben?
The risk of staying here is too great——
Yan Liben was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who looked quite prosperous, with a kind face and good manners.
"The lower official Yan Liben has met the Marquis of Chang'an——"
With that said, Yan Liben bowed to Wang Zi'an, and then pretended to be calm and said hello to Li Yuan.
Who can tell me why the Supreme Emperor is not staying well in Taiji Palace, but appears here——
He was already thinking about turning around and running away.
Who among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty does not know about this and the current situation of His Majesty?
He was complaining in his heart, but Wang Zi'an looked at the rich-looking middle-aged man in front of him with great interest.
This is the great painter who has been taught in history textbooks!
The living room was being renovated, and Wang Zi'an let Yan Liben into the study.
Then, the servants brought steaming boiled water with great discernment.
Yan Liben:……
I’ve been to so many ministers’ mansions, and this is the first time I’ve encountered someone offering boiled water directly. Mr. Marquis, you’re going too far with this door lock——
After some polite greetings, Yan Liben took a symbolic sip of boiled water, then put down the tea cup and bowed his hand to Wang Zi'an as a gift.
"Xia Guan has been appointed as a general young eunuch. After the spring of next year, he will go to Mobei to take charge of the construction of Mobei City. I heard that the establishment of the Governor's Mansion and the construction of the city were the work of the Marquis, so I came here this time.
, I want to ask for help from Lord Marquis..."
Ah, this——
Wang Zi'an thought for a moment, waved his hand to his servants and asked for pen and ink, and drew a map on the spot.
According to the classification of later generations, the locations of several major mines and cities are marked.
Li Yuan, Pei Ji, Yan Liben:......
This is a bit powerful——
Wang Zi'an said that this is just for future generations. Due to the pressure of geography teachers and college entrance examinations, practice makes perfect. You can do it if you want.
They didn't realize at all that except for Princess Changle who was at a loss, the others were already shocked and dumbfounded.
That's the land of Mobei.
You know everything. You even know where the minerals are, what their reserves are, whether they are easy to mine, and whether they are suitable for building a city. What is the situation?
