Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 7
Jia Rong was asking the right person, no one knew more about all the engineering materials than Qin Ye.

The Ministry of Construction and Cleaning up Officials is the executive department under the Ministry of Industry. Qin Ye, as one of the small officials, is one of the people who directly deal with engineering materials and materials in addition to the directors of the various institutes.

If the institutes are the workers with the best construction skills in the Ministry of Industry, Qin Ye is the supervisor who supervises the institutes and verifies the construction materials.

Jia Rong said helplessly: "It's nothing else, it's just that I got a recipe called cement by accident, and said that it can be made out. As long as it is mixed with water and dried thoroughly, there will be no traces of it even with a sledgehammer. I just didn't expect it. The Ministry of Industry already has this determination."

"And, stop." The more Qin Ye heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he cupped his hands to the brothers from all ethnic groups in the hall: "There are still some things here, so I have to excuse me for a while."

The Qin family brothers present were not Qin Ye's direct relatives, and only Qin Ye was in office.As soon as these words came out, the others retreated.

Qin Ye still felt unsafe, so he even led Jia Rong into the study.Lock the door tightly and order all the servants not to approach the study.

Qin Ye persuaded: "In the future, don't easily tell others such secrets."

Jia Rong came to her senses at this moment, "Could it be?"

Qin Ye talked about the method of making three-component soil, which has existed since ancient times.The formula ratio of each generation has improved, but the materials are all tamped layer by layer.He also explained: "The cement in your mouth may be the same material as the three-component clay, and the production method is different. It belongs to your Jia family's secret recipe, so don't show it to others."

It was only then that Jia Rong understood that the Sanhe clay Qin Ye mentioned was rammed earth. Although it was also solid, its usage was very different from that of cement.

Jia Rong asked about the current commonly used building materials.At present, the most widely used is glutinous rice lime slurry, and there is also mirage ash calcined from oyster shells.

After hearing this, Jia Rong made a comparison in her heart.I feel that although the mirage ash is similar to cement, it is a bit weaker in terms of firmness.Although glutinous rice lime paste is very good and strong, it is troublesome to make, and it takes a very experienced craftsman to make good glutinous rice paste.In addition, the transportation is difficult and the production cost is quite high, which is still worse than cement.

This can be done!

Jia Rong was happy.He wanted to ask Qin Ye to look at the formula for him, but Qin Ye refused to look at it anyway, always saying that it was the recipe of Jia's house.

"Master, I was wrong. I got this prescription, and it has nothing to do with Jia's family or Ning's mansion. If this prescription is right, Keqing and I can count as our own income in the small courtyard."

"This..." Qin Ye hesitated.

According to etiquette, the descendants of the family do not accumulate private wealth.In fact, it is difficult for the patriarch to control the operation.Unless the patriarch and patriarch have hatred against you and want to kill you, then there is no way.

However, Jia Rong already had a plan in mind. If Jia Zhen is willing to participate and invest in it, she will be happy too.

Who made Jia Rong have no money?
There is not even money to buy materials such as lime and sand.

Jia Rong chatted with Qin Ye in the study for a while, and then asked about the sale of materials.Qin Ye himself refused to read the secret recipe, but he was willing to find some familiar craftsmen to help.

Jia Rong was even more pleased with this news.

After lunch with Qin Ye in the Qin residence, Jia Rong took Qin Keqing back to the residence contentedly.

In this era, people eat two meals a day, lunch before breakfast and lunch after evening work.

Of course, rich families like the Jia family often hold dinner parties, which can be regarded as supper or a meal.

When she returned to the mansion, it was already late, Jia Rong heard from the servants that after the master came back from Xuanzhen Temple, she went to the outer city to buy a few women for a while, and she was stubborn in Tianxianglou.

Jia Rong was speechless for a moment.

After thinking about it, I felt that if I ran over to call him now, it must be interesting.

So, I couldn't wait to walk towards Huifang Garden, and wanted to take the initiative to see Jia Zhen.

As soon as I got downstairs, I heard the laughter of the woman above.

Jia Rong didn't wait for the maid downstairs to speak, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Is the master here? Is the master here? Rong'er is here."

Jia Zhen was having fun with a few concubines in Tianxiang Tower, when she heard Brother Rong's voice, she felt quite unhappy.

It was also quiet upstairs.

Jia Rong thought proudly, it really came at the right time.

What does it feel like to be forcibly pulled from the bed when you're about to hit base?
It must be very cool!

Jia Zhen sent a servant girl to say, "Master Xiao Rong, what's the matter, I will talk about it tomorrow."

Jia Rong didn't reply to the maid's words, and shouted upstairs: "Master, I have something important to report, why don't you meet again tomorrow?"

Jia Zhen didn't understand it for a while, but after thinking about it, she understood.Immediately blushing, anger came up, and he shouted in the room: "Get out of here!"

Several newly bought singing and dancing girls and concubines also blushed.

Jia Rong was smiling triumphantly downstairs, but she didn't intend to leave, and then shouted: "Master, it's a good thing for the income of the mansion."

Income?

Jia Zhen was stunned for a while, talking about money?

How could money be as important as these concubines?

Jia Zhen has never been a person who knows how to run a business. For him, money is used to eat, drink and play, and to buy women.

Is Ning Mansion short of money?
Jia Zhen does not feel lacking!And he didn't think Jia Rong could do anything good!

Rong'er knows a good thing about bullshit!

Jia Zhen looked at the faces of the others who were eager to refuse and welcome, this is a good thing, she just thought that Brother Rong should get out of here.

How could Jia Rong be willing? If Jia Zhen didn't come down after making up her mind, she would keep howling downstairs to cheer up Master Zhen.

"Master Rong, hurry back, it's time for the master to get angry." A little maid said worriedly.

In terms of status, Jia Rong is the eldest son of the East Mansion and the future successor; in terms of appearance, Jia Rong is also top-notch, she is the most handsome person in Jia's family besides Jia Qiang who has a beautiful appearance.

Many maidservants in the mansion wanted to get close to Master Rong, and if they became aunts one day, they would feel that their fate would be changed.

So a few young maids in the courtyard and outside the building also turned to Jia Rong secretly, and they would sound a reminder.

But Jia Rong said: "No, no. I have serious business, really serious business, the master will not be angry."

Then, he howled upstairs again.

Jia Zhen was so angry that she immediately lost interest, pushed the person next to her to get up from the bed, went downstairs angrily, and asked the maid in the building to open the door.Pointing at Jia Rong's nose and cursing: "What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"

Looking at Jia Rong's innocent eyes again, I really have the urge to slap him.

But Jia Rong looked at a certain place in Jia Zhen's robe and felt very happy.But with a naive and pitiful expression on his face, he said: "Master, I really didn't intend to ruin your business, I got a recipe by accident, if I can make this thing, there must be a big profit for the manor."

Jia Rong took out the paper she had prepared earlier, on which was the most original indigenous cement formula, and kept talking to Jia Zhen about the benefits of cement.

He looked extremely anxious, as if missing this thing would be a great loss to Ning Futian.

Jia Zhen just wanted to dismiss him early, so she couldn't listen to him.But Jia Rong pulled his sleeve and did not let go. Jia Zhen was so angry that she yelled impatiently: "It's a good thing, our Ningfu is short of money? Zhuangzi, Bingjing, Tanjing, etc. all over the place say that there are at least two 3 in a year." Ten thousand taels of silver, where would you do such humiliating things?"

Two to thirty thousand taels sounds like a lot, but it is actually a lot.But Jia's family can't stand the extravagance. Not to mention Jia Rong's 3 taels of consumption, just talking about the hundreds of mouths in the house, the daily food consumption, and the monthly money is not a small expense.

Moreover, due to Jia Zhen's lax management, many people in the Ning Mansion received false claims, and the accounts were in a mess.

Jia Zhen also bought a few beautiful singing and dancing girls from outside to have fun.

A lively, beautiful, and highly skilled dancer and actor costs nearly a thousand taels each.That's not even counting the money for the people in the house to handle errands and treat guests to drink.

It's no wonder that the Ning Mansion is not short of money!
