Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 75
North Korea?

yes.This time King Zhongshun will definitely ask for credit for himself, and the Wang family will also make a booklet.Not long after, he will be given an official status.

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity."

Jia Rong cheekily put the gold-edged jade plaque into her arms carefully, so she has another big boss who can protect her from now on.Hippie smiled and said: "Why does the prince love the boy so much?"

King Zhongshun didn't answer him directly, but lightly tapped his leg, which was won by a crane knee and phoenix, and said politely: "In April this year, this king went to Yunnan to inspect salt, in May he surveyed the Yellow River, and in June he dispatched grain from various provinces to the Fujian, re-opening the sea ban, in July... the king just announced to open a new river channel, and then you appeared."

Forehead?
Good guy, I said a lot before, only the last sentence is useful, is it to show how hardworking I am?Jia Rong listened carefully to see how King Zhongshun would brag about his own achievements.

King Zhongshun said: "Yunnan has a vast land, but stone floods often occur, and there is often a lack of water in the dry season. The Yellow River has been severely damaged since ancient times. If any place breaks its embankment, at least millions of people will suffer. Fujian is rainy and windy, and it has suffered disasters this year. , the people in the province have no means of living. Even if your Ningguo Mansion cannot build a strong wall for the people, even if it can defend a little, it is a great merit."

Ok!

Jia Rong admitted that she was completely different from what King Zhongshun had just thought.

His purpose of making cement is really just to see if he can make money.Now after listening to King Zhongshun's words, I feel a little embarrassed on my face.Said embarrassingly: "Your Highness is Dehou, in the future, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Highness's Mansion will buy cement, and they will all give you a [-]% discount on the base price."

King Zhongshun squinted at this shameless guy, and snorted, "What do you want so much money for? The Ministry of Internal Affairs needs the original price; the Ministry of Industry is short of silver, and the price is [-]% off."

Jia Rong settled the score with her fingers.The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of royal affairs, so there is no shortage of money, and the original price is reasonable.However, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of major projects such as water conservancy, civil engineering, farming, engineering, and transportation across the country, and it needs a lot of cement.

[-]% off, how much is that?

"The [-]% discount will get you even the money." Jia Rong pouted, "My lord doesn't know how much money was spent on this cement before it was produced, and our Jia family will continue to research new types of cement that are stronger. , not only can be used to build small dams, but also to build large reservoirs for water storage.”

King Zhongshun looked at him suspiciously, "Do you still have the prescription?"

amount……

This cannot be said.

Jia Rong scratched her nose and said falteringly: "I vaguely remember the two recipes, but I don't remember them all. I need to ask the artisans in the house to try again."

King Zhongshun asked with great interest: "Apart from cement prescriptions, do you have other prescriptions in your hand?"

Jia Rong shook his head, he really couldn't think of anything else besides cement.At first, I thought about burning glass, which is really not difficult to make, even easier than making porcelain.Just a lack of raw materials, such as soda ash.

Although phytoalkali can also be burned, but the amount is small, and crystal clear colorless glass cannot be produced.It is too expensive to make, which is also the reason why the price of colored glaze is high and it is gradually being eliminated.

Before there was a mature soda-making process, he only knew to go to Montenegro and the Northwest Plateau to find a large amount of soda.

It's too much trouble, it's better not to do it.

Another thing that can be easily made is perfume.But this thing... the small family can't afford it, and the big family can't look down on it.

The most common thing to do in the deep boudoir of rich families in this era is to incense, appreciate and smell incense.This is not only for the fragrance, but also a way of self-cultivation and social etiquette in the boudoir.

So even making perfume is futile!

King Zhongshun saw that he couldn't ask, so he didn't ask any more. He just said: "Just look at the sale. The materials used by the Ministry of Industry must be for the people of Li. If the price is high, it's better to dig mountains to get stones, or ram them with earth."

Jia Rong knew all these things.Now the output of the kiln has increased, the craftsmen have become more proficient, and the cost has also been reduced a lot.It sells for two or three hundred cash for a stone, and everyone can accept it.Otherwise, according to the initial cost, it would cost nearly a hundred wen per stone, and it would cost five or six hundred wen to give up.

Near noon, the emperor and officials from various ministries arrived late.

Among these people are ministers of various ministries, ministers, governors of the left and right, cabinet bachelors, etc., all of whom are high-ranking officials.When Emperor Xiande met King Zhongshun, he didn't see Jia Rong from left to right, and asked, "Is the kid from the Jia family?"

King Zhongshun smiled and said, "This bastard can't sit still, and he was afraid that something might go wrong, so he went to the dam early to check."

After listening to the conversation between Imakami and the prince, the officials of various ministries looked at each other in blank dismay, shocked beyond belief.When did the emperor and prince have such an attitude towards a boy with a foreign surname?Is the Jia family about to rise again?
Without waiting for the masters of the ministries to think about it, the emperor had already asked King Zhongshun to lead the way towards the dam.

Before everyone reached the dam, they saw a young man in the paddy field next to him, playing with mud in the field with his trouser legs rolled up.Emperor Xiande shook his beard and asked: "What is that bastard doing?"

The emperor obviously asked the wrong person, and the officials of various ministries didn't understand, and they all stared from the sidelines.King Zhongshun was annoyed that kid Rong stayed restless, and suddenly ran to the field to do something.She cupped her hands and wanted to say something nice to the emperor, but was blocked by Emperor Xian De.

"Let's go down together, let's see what tricks this kid is playing today."

King Zhongshun wanted to stop it, how could the body of Long Live be stained with mud.The faces of the officials of the various ministries looked like they were watching the show, waiting for Emperor Xiande to go to the fields.

This is when Jia Rong finally saw the people by the canal, and saw clearly that the one standing in the front was actually present.He hurriedly pulled his legs out of the mud and saluted in front of the crowd.

Emperor Xian De asked: "What flowers did you get in the field just now?"

Jia Rong looked down at her legs, which were still covered with a lot of mud.Said embarrassingly: "Today's Mingjian, the minister is not playing, but just wants the masters of the ministries to see the effectiveness of this canal."

Xian De asked: "What can you tell from this?"

"There are so many things that can be seen." Jia Rong showed her white teeth, and with a smile, she called Shi, the chief of the palace, and asked him to go to the dam and let the water flow into the canal.

Shi, the head of the palace, looked around hesitantly, and listened to Jia Rong's words under the signal of King Zhongshun.

Jia Rong jumped into the ditch at this time and said, "You can watch it."

He removed a stone slab in the ditch, revealing a small hole in the ditch.

"The canal has just been repaired, but the hole has already been broken." An official snorted, knelt down in front of Emperor Xiande in the cold wind, and said: "Ningguo Mansion's fourth-rank noble cavalry captain Jia Rong bullied the king, you need with heavy punishment."

Jia Rong, who was standing in the ditch, was stunned. What's the matter?
When did I bully you?There must be evidence for framing.

The water from the dam rushed down the channel to Jia Rong's feet, which was icy cold.

However, King Zhongshun coldly glanced at the man kneeling on the ground, as if he had not seen that person, and said kindly to Emperor Xian De: "Brother, please take a look."
