Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 54

"It's everyone's common idea." Zong Cheng said shyly, "Before building this kiln, we discussed it for a long time, and in the end, Third Master Yun decided to build a new kiln."

The look on the guy's face gave him away.Uncle Rong smiled and said, "I think it's your idea. If the kiln is not successful, I will take it on myself. If the kiln is successful, I will push it to Brother Yun. It is good to dare to try, but don't miss the job."

Jia Rong also reminded them, lest these guys try out any crooked ideas they think of, not to mention missing work, and wasting money.He also specially asked Zong Cheng to hand over all the wounded craftsmen so that they could meet Long Yan so that they could go back and pretend to be aggressive.

After a while, the holy car arrived, and the leading captain saw him with an indescribable strangeness on his face.King Zhongshun rode his horse into the village and saw the scars on the faces of the craftsmen, his beard trembled slightly.

"Your servant brings all the craftsmen of the cement kiln to welcome Shengjia." Brother Rong shouted loudly.

Zong Cheng and the others were extremely excited and nervous at the moment, as lowly craftsmen would never have the chance to meet the emperor.I am deeply afraid that if I fail to perform well, I will blame myself.

Seeing Zhuang Shang's appearance, the escort envoys in brocade clothes acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy, so they were on guard.

Emperor Xian De got out of the car one by one, and saw the bruises on the faces of the two people in front at a glance.Frowning, he asked, "Who are they?"

The craftsmen fell to their knees and sang "My Emperor".

"These people are craftsmen who refine heavenly objects. Without them, there would be no birth of heavenly objects." Brother Rong returned, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that this group of meritorious people were all injured yesterday. I'm afraid that Prince Zhongshun's mansion will blame me, so today's kiln in Erzhuang has no production."

King Zhongshun scolded Jia Rong for being shameless.He didn't even know about it, and it had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Xiande took a few glances and found that most of the craftsmen had injuries on their faces, so he squinted and glanced at King Zhongshun.Cai said: "Okay, don't play any tricks anymore. Let them go, and take out the heavenly objects you mentioned."

King Zhongshun felt bitter and gave Jia Rong a hard look.Thinking about it, although the Jia family was close to Prince Yizhong in the past, they had no conflicts with him.Even though the household investigation department has been running short for the past two years, due to the face of the Supreme Emperor and the old concubine, he has never troubled the Jia family.

Why is this guy so hard on himself?

How could he know that Brother Rong was influenced by certain groups in his previous life and determined that King Zhongshun was the enemy of the Jia family.

Brother Rong saw that his little thoughts had been exposed, so he asked Zong Cheng and others to carry out the cement ash that had been developed. "This is a heavenly object. As long as water is added to it and stirred, it will solidify like a solid stone after drying."

"How long will it take?" King Zhongshun asked the question he was most concerned about.

"The usage is different, and the time is also different. If it is in this kind of climate, pouring a thickness of three or four inches will take three days or five days. The thicker the thickness, the colder the weather, and the longer it will take." Rong Rong My brother answered with a smile, and asked someone to carry out a few cement slabs.

"These were all made during testing earlier. There are boards with cement ash mixed with sand and gravel, and there are boards with cement sand and gravel mixed with iron bones, and..."

"There are still iron bones in it?"

Brother Rong saw that Emperor Xiande's face was a bit unsightly, and hurriedly replied: "Many buildings in Lihentian are made of cement ash and reinforced iron frames, if used properly, even waves and floods can't destroy them. "

Emperor Xian De snorted and didn't say anything more.Someone tested the hardness of several stone slabs, and asked about the approximate output.

Brother Rong said with a sullen face: "I know today that yesterday's conflict was caused by this incident. If you want to increase production, you must need a lot of craftsmen in the kiln. But Zhongshun Palace..."

"This matter has nothing to do with my residence." King Zhongshun snorted.

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter." Jia Rong curled her lips and said, "Master Qiantui is what he says."

King Zhongshun said angrily, "Is it not good to bully my palace?"

"Enough." Emperor Xian De stopped the two of them and taught Jia Rong a lesson. "You have made great achievements in relying on your ancestors, and you dare to contradict the prince. Even if you have a hundred lives, it is not enough."

"Your servant knows that today's sage is wise, and he will definitely decide for the foolish minister." There was no complaint on Uncle Rong's face, and his face was full of flattery when he spoke.

He was not held accountable afterwards.Brother Rong led Xiande and Zhongshun to see the water conservancy of the farm in Ningguo Mansion, and he was full of praise for the cement.

"This dam was built in the cold spring of this year. When the water comes from the upper reaches in the warm spring, it can not only provide water for the surrounding farmers. Jia Qiang, the most incompetent of our Jia family, also asked the village to build two canals to divert water. The water in the river is directly transferred to the surrounding farmland for irrigation. From then on, farmers in the village no longer have to fight you to death because of irrigation problems.”

Emperor Xiande asked: "Can a man fight with water?"

Uncle Rong said: "Where do the gentlemen who live above the temple know these things? It is common for farmers to fight for water between farmers, and even for water between villages and villages. That is the real war. The kind that the masters of the county government can't control. As long as no one is killed, the masters just don't see it, because this kind of thing is too common."

"How dare they do that?" It was the first time Emperor Xian De heard about these things.

Brother Rong said: "It's not that some of the incumbents don't care about things. If the Ministry of Industry's Tuntian Cleaning Department can build more reservoirs and dams, so that every household's farmland can use water. Where are they? Will there be wars because of this? Without water, where can crops grow, and without crops, how can farmers survive?"

King Zhongshun was blushing. He only had Zhili camping affairs last year, and he only felt that Jia Rong was scolding him.

Most of the bodyguards around Emperor Xian De, Jin Yi, were descendants of meritorious service, but the father-in-law next to him was from a peasant background.One of the elderly father-in-law said with tears, "What the young master said is not bad at all. Before the old slave entered the palace, there was two acres of Susukida in his home. Later, his father fought a battle with the people in the next village because of irrigation and water grabbing." The root cause of the disease fell, and he died within two years."

Brother Rong bowed to her husband and said, "My condolences to my husband."

Emperor Xiande saw Jia Rong acting here, laughed and got angry in his heart, and hummed: "You care so much about people's livelihood, why don't you go to the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry to be the master."

As the saying goes: the internal affairs are sufficient, the official department is expensive, the household department is rich, the ritual department is poor, the military department is military, the punishment department is strict, and the industry department is cheap.

Think about it with your toes, working in the Ministry of Industry is not as cool as being in Ningguo Mansion now.Brother Rong was naturally unwilling, so he quickly knelt down and mournfully said: "My lord just went, the grandfather at home is old and not in good health. Now the emperor's favor is great, my lord... my lord..."

As he spoke, a few drops of tears fell from Brother Rong's eyes.

Emperor Xiande gritted his teeth and snorted, coldly asked Brother Rong to stand up.He asked Jia Rong not to disturb Prince Zhongshun's mansion again, otherwise he would be convicted of disrespecting the royal family next time, so he sent him back.

"Why did the emperor give him an official position on a whim?" King Zhongshun asked curiously.

Emperor Xiande said: "It's not a whim, but it's a pity that this kid didn't agree. Tomorrow you will bring Xiong Da over here yourself, and buy some cement from Jia's house for the various departments of the Ministry of Industry to use as experiments."

"Why this?" King Zhongshun didn't understand.

"It's too late. This time the royal family has lost the reputation of the second Duke Ning Rong. I'm afraid that the emperor and the old concubine will suddenly get a name-raising gift. At that time, I don't know whether it is the daughter of the Jia family who has entered the royal family or the royal daughter who has entered the Jia family." .”

"This..." King Zhongshun was stunned and said, "I remember that there are no married men and women in the direct line of the Jia family."
