Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 292 Qiantangguan Seawall

That night, Jia Rong pondered for a long time in her heart.If it wasn't for the sleeping Han Xiangling who kept rubbing against his legs, he would be no different from a stone sculpture.

He just leaned against the head of the bed quietly like this, the candles in the room flickered and flickered from time to time.Like his mood, ups and downs.

"Do you want to do something?"

"What can be done to change this situation?"

"Can it be done?"

Three questions have been circling the top of the head, circling around the brain.

"Whether it works or not, there must be something to do."

Jia Rong calculated.With the special positions of myself and Jia's family, if there is any abnormality, Jin Yisi and the guards will be able to detect it.Shenjing is too conspicuous, neither can Gyeonggi, nor can Jinling.

"A place to escape the supervision of the palace...Mobei Mongolia? Moxi Mongolia? Beiliao Heishan Village? ?”

He silently snapped his fingers in his heart.Mobei Mongolia is geographically close to Eros, but it is difficult to understand Western technology from Eros.Moxi is better, but sandwiched between Dayan, Eros, and Zhungeer, it is not a place of war.

In Heishan Village, Beiliao, secretly imitating firearms and artillery can hardly be found.However, it is too far and too difficult to keep abreast of Western technology.The southwestern border is even more closed, let alone mention it.

Jia Rong counted and counted, and in the end it was just a loft in the air. He could only imitate Eros guns and artillery in Heishan Village.Other matters will be mentioned later.

After being annoyed for a few days, I wrote several letters to Heishan Village and sent them.

To this day, Xiande six years, June [-].

Due to the continuous rainy days, the princess of Beijing County will be a guest in the future, but a big person came to Ningguo Mansion.

"Sun Heting? That's Mr. Sun who was promoted from household doctor to governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and in charge of governor in just five years?" Jia Rong frowned.I really don't know what such a character would do if he didn't stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and went to Jingning Guofu.

The Jia family was a meritorious service in the old days, and Sun Heting was an upstart at that time.

The Jiasun family has no contact.

Steward Shi replied: "Uncle has not paid attention to the movement in the court recently, and that Master Sun has been promoted again."

"Promoted again? Promoted to what? Transferred to the governor of Zhili, or a certain minister? Or the crown prince?" Jia Rong couldn't help opening her eyes.

He has also heard about this guy's deeds. It is said that this guy has been donated to the official for less than ten years. He initially bought the post of military member Uiro, and was transferred to the household department doctor two years later.Later, when he ascended the throne today, this Sun Heting was promoted from a doctor to the Southwest Salt Post Road, and then promoted to a political envoy, and later promoted to governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and political envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Salt.

This can be regarded as an official promotion once a year.

Steward Shi replied: "Master Sun has just taken over the affairs of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Haitang. I am afraid that he came here with the order of the palace and asked the uncle to assist the Haitang to handle it."

The seawall projects in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are mainly concentrated in Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other places.Among them, Haining Pond at the mouth of the Qiantang River is the most dangerous.

Jia Rong frowned and asked, "Isn't the Zhen family and the governor of Jiangnan always handling the affairs of the seawall in the south of the Yangtze River? Why did Sun Heting take over?"

It's okay for Steward Shi to inquire about the news, but how can he know the inside story.He could only bow and smile wryly, and said: "Master Sun is entertaining in the front hall, I'd better go and meet you, sir."

Uncle Rong sighed secretly, he must see him.It turned out that the things that the Zhen family was taking care of suddenly changed and someone took over. He always had a bad feeling in his heart.

I hope it's not a prelude to attacking the Zhen family today.

Jia Rong remembered one thing, and hurriedly said: "Go to the library and count the 2 taels of silver. After I chat with Sun Heting, find some people to follow me to press the silver and go to the household department to pay off the debt."

Steward Shi hurried into the warehouse.

Uncle Rong went into the courtyard and changed his clothes before going to the front hall.

"Your Excellency, I have long admired you."

Brother Rong greeted each other and invited him back to sit down and offer tea.Before we could talk, Sun Heting said first: "Young Lord, you don't need to be too polite, Sun came here to ask for something."

"Oh?" Brother Rong thought in surprise, is there anything in the Ningguo Mansion that the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can ask for?Just look at Sun Heting with two slanted mustaches on his face, half sincere and half shrewd in a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I don't know what the lord is referring to, the boy is stupid, please tell me clearly." Brother Rong laughed, half respectful, half respectful, and half casual.

Seeing this, Sun Heting didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has ordered me to take care of the seawall. I suddenly thought that the Second Lord Ning Rong also took care of the seawall when he was in the south of the Yangtze River. I also heard that the young master was taught by an immortal, so I came here to seek advice. .”

"The big stone pond with fish scales created by Mr. Su Bole, a scholar of the current dynasty, is very good." Brother Rong replied.He still has some understanding of the sea ponds of the current dynasty, especially the fish-scale stone pond improved by Su Bole, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace of the current dynasty, which is very solid.

He also had the idea of ​​the seawall at the beginning, but he had no idea. After all, the seawall blocks the wind and waves of the sea.Sea waves are different from river water, and they are very corrosive to conventional cement, so I gave up the idea of ​​sea ponds after knowing the new fish scale stone ponds in use now.

Sun Heting leaned over and asked, "Young Lord, do you know how much the fish-scale sea pond created by Mr. Su is fake?"

"It's just laying stones, how much silver can you use?"

"One zhang needs 300 taels of silver."

"Huh?" Jia Rong was taken aback for a moment, and replied awkwardly, "30 taels? It's not bad."

"It's 300 taels, and it takes 300 taels for a zhang, and sometimes it takes 500 taels of silver for a zhang."

One foot and three meters three, that is, the cost per meter is about 100 taels of silver.Well...it's not too expensive.For a distance of one mile, about 5 taels of silver are needed.

Brother Rong calculated against his will.Now he also understands the purpose of Sun Heting's coming here, which is to buy cement from Ningguo Mansion to repair the seawall.

It's really not that he didn't want to make this money, so he was worried about creating a "tofu dregs" project.That is a seawall, a seawall that is often eroded by seawater washed by waves.Seawater can slowly corrode even reinforced concrete, and it is still safe to build seawalls with stones.

Brother Rong coughed lightly and said: "The seawall project is related to the country and the survival of the people along the coast. It is worth the higher cost."

Sun Heting looked at him differently, and said: "Although this is the case, the amount of funds allocated is not large, and the use must be approved first. I once heard that the young master has refined all kinds of heavenly objects, and now all the rivers and dams in the south of the Yangtze River come from Ningguo. The government purchased it. I was thinking about whether Tianwu cement can be used in seawalls..."

"No." Jia Rong replied immediately. "The coastal situation is complicated. The place where seawalls are built must be where the waves are surging. The power of seawater is not comparable to that of river water. The cement used in river water may not be used in seawater. If this kind of cement is used to build seawalls, within five years, wind and wave damage There is a huge collapse in a big place."

"This..." Sun Heting hesitated for a while, carefully pondering the meaning of Brother Rong's words.After a long time, he asked: "The young master said that this kind of cement is not acceptable, so there must be another kind of cement that is acceptable?"

"Ok?"
