Chapter five hundred and ninety second national shock success
"Didn't you show your strength to us?" Hearing the emperor's words, the eldest prince couldn't help asking.
"Definitely not!" The emperor nodded and said, "If it were in the past, he would have made me afraid and dared not attack him easily... But now, when I have compromised, he will use this trick again to provoke and stimulate me... Don't say that he has no ambitions, even if he has, he would not be stupid enough to do such a thing?"
"What are the reasons why the father said he has two intentions?" the eldest prince asked again.
"The first intention of his sending monster meat is to offer sacrifices! Rest me, he is still a citizen of the empire and will not do anything to betray! He also agreed to the request I made when I promoted him to the second-class marquis... The second intention is to tell me the character of his man, you respect me one foot, I respect you one foot!" The emperor explained.
The eldest prince breathed out after hearing this, his expression was a little unnatural, and he whispered: "This kid is really crazy!"
"When he was so rebellious back then, he was so rebellious. I heard that he dared to make a bet against Tang Chuxue... Such a person cannot be conquered! Alas..." The emperor said and sighed.
The eldest prince frowned and said, "Father, but anyone who sees this behavior is suspected of demonstrating his strength. He is not afraid that we will think so too!"
"He knows I don't know!" The emperor said in a deep voice: "If I can't even analyze this matter, I don't have to sit in this seat... In fact, not only me, but if this matter is spread, I guess more than half of the people in the court can see Jiang Xingchen's intention!"
This sentence made the eldest prince blush and could be seen by most of the people in the court. But I couldn't see it. The prince was too unqualified.
Seeing the eldest prince like this, the emperor stood up and walked over and patted his shoulder: "You don't have to belittle yourself, after all, it's normal that you can't tell... Just ignore Jiang Xingchen in the future!"
"Thank you, my father, I understand!" The eldest prince bowed and said, "I will leave first! A flood occurred in the Heluo Township, the embankment was damaged, hundreds of villages and towns on both sides of the Dahong River were flooded, and nearly 10,000 people have died. Hundreds of thousands of people are homeless. The Imperial Monthly is preparing to report this matter!"
"Go!" The emperor waved his hand.
After the eldest prince left, the emperor slowly sat down and whispered: "This kid is getting more and more amazing now... a level 27 monster..."
On February 15th, the Imperial Monthly was released, which made a large report on Lingsun in Heluotong.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the whole country. The celebration event of Xingchentang had just subsided. This topic immediately aroused heated discussions among people again. The demand for Imperial Monthly also increased significantly.
When I learned of this situation, Imperial Monthly, I sold 860,000 copies in total, setting the highest record since the establishment of the monthly magazine. Although the more I sold, the more I lost money, the eldest prince was still very happy, and sales increased significantly, and the future advertising revenue would be enough to make up for the losses.
The power of these 860,000 monthly magazines is powerful, and the Heluo Governor quickly spread throughout the country. There were voices talking about this matter everywhere.
"What a good guy, it has flooded nearly a hundred villages and towns. This ice flood is too powerful, right?"
"It's not that the flood is powerful, but that the people are powerful! The flood control embankment has been destroyed. Is this possible... It must be because the dam built is not good, so this situation occurs!"
"Is that true? If there is a heavy flood, will the flood control embankment here be destroyed as well..."
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused panic among many people. You should know that almost all villages and towns were built on both sides of the river, and the water volume of more than a dozen large rivers in the empire was quite large.
As a result, even greater fluctuations occurred. Under this pressure, many lords made the decision to repair the flood control dam. Originally, some dams had been used for seven or eight years and were fine for more than ten years, but at this time they did not dare to be careless. Even if some of them were renovated less than five years, they all found the family they had built and renovated them.
The lords' lords this time were really scared. Because there was never a comparison, many people only knew that the lords' lords' this year were bigger than in previous years, but they were not clear about how big it was. In addition, many people rumored that this was ** and was a problem of dam construction, so the lords made a resolution to renovate the dam.
In this case, those businessmen and families engaged in construction are of course the happiest. So many territories have renovated dams, making the construction industry a booming momentum... In addition, there is another happy thing that is that the Duan family is unlucky.
The Duan family is the leader of the construction industry and usually receives the most jobs. In the past two years, they have managed Xingchen Leadership Construction alone and made a lot of money. I don’t know how many people are jealous. Therefore, with such an opportunity, they will never be stingy with the time they have stepped on the Duan family.
As the influence of this issue of Imperial Monthly became increasingly greater, some people began to attack the Duan family. They could rush out such words as cutting corners, bullying the market, and ignoring human lives.
The general public did not care about the inside story, and there were more and more people accusing the Duan family of voices. In the imperial capital, there were still people going to the Duan family's yard to still have stones or something.
However, the Duan family is the most famous architectural family in the empire. It has a good reputation in normal times. Many people do not believe in those vicious rumors, saying that it may be because the ice flood is too large and exceeds the capacity of the dam.
I don’t know if it was some people in the construction industry who guided me, but slowly, people’s talk changed from the losses caused by the ice flood to the debate about the Duan family, which was mixed…
The Duan family is so depressed now. Speaking of this incident, it has nothing to do with them. Heluotong is so big that it has never been in history, and it is beyond the endurance of the flood control dike.
However, because no one had ever thought about the scale of the Lingsun before, they could not refute the Grand Duke of Heluo. Because the contract did not contain any clauses related to the scale of the Lingsun, they only emphasized the age.
At that time, the Duan family was very confident and guaranteed that the dam they built was the best, so they defeated many contestants and won the project... But who knew that the result would be like this, and they immediately spent all the money they earned in Xingchen for two years.
The amount of money spent is not the most important thing. Since they renovated the Heluo-ling flood control dam, people outside now say this is a **, which has a great impact on the reputation of the Duan family. Although many people still believe in the Duan family, there are more doubts, which can be said to be fatal to the development of the Duan family in the future.
On the embankment of the Heluo River, Duan Qingshi frowned and looked at the Dahong River below in a daze.
"Father!" Duan Tiechui walked over from behind and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to urge Jiang Xingchen again? It's already mid-February. If the embankment does not start construction, it will probably not be repaired by the rainy season!"
"Hu~" Duan Qingshi sighed, "Jiang Xingchen has sent us a letter saying that he is stepping up research and we can't urge him anymore!"
Duan Tiech frowned and whispered: "But, Grand Duke Heluo sends people to urge him every day!"
"Holy Lord Heluo!" Duan Qingshi gritted his teeth. This beam was considered to be a foregone conclusion. In order to avoid taking responsibility, you pushed all the responsibility to our Duan family. Don't you know how big the scale of the Lingsun this time? Do you not know whether there is any problem with the embankment built by our Duan family?
"Don't worry about him, wait!" Duan Qingshi waved his hand and said.
Duan Tiehui said: "Father, if it really doesn't work, let's build it according to the original method... Such a large-scale flood cannot occur every year, and super-large floods will never be seen for many years..."
"No!" Duan Qingshi shook his head and said, "Now, more than half of the people in the empire are questioning us. If something happens again, the reputation of the Duan family will be completely ruined. We cannot take this risk... In addition, have you noticed that there are many extreme weather in the past two or three years, with heavy snow and severe winter. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no heavy rain in this rainy season!"
"But we don't know when Jiang Xingchen can get the new materials out. If time is delayed, the result will not be worse!" Duan Tiehui spoke very quickly, and seemed a little anxious.
As if afraid that Duan Qingshi would not agree, Duan Tiechui said again: "We can spread extreme weather in advance to make people mentally prepared! In this way, even if there is a big flood, the problem will not be too big... Moreover, our focus of our work in the next few years is on Xingchen. Don't worry about money, and reputation can be restored little by little..."
Duan Qingshi frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's wait for another five days. If Jiang Xingchen has not yet studied it, we will not wait!"
"Okay!" Duan Tiehui nodded vigorously and let out a long sigh. He was really afraid that his father would have to wait for new materials as soon as he got stubborn and had to wait for new materials. That would be troublesome.
"Father, there is something else? Do you think we will mention it to Mr. Jiang and ask him to help us talk to the Star Monthly... The Star Monthly has a greater influence than the Empire Monthly, and it should be able to recover some of our losses!"
"Yes!" Duan Qingshi's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands suddenly: "Why didn't I expect it... Let me write to Jiang Xingchen quickly!"
"I'll do it now!" Duan Tiehui responded, turned around and left.
"Wait!" Duan Qingshi called out to his son and asked, "Have Jiang Xingchen asked to leave the group of craftsmen in the Dali Kingdom?"
"I've already left, I left the day before yesterday!"
Duan Qingshi nodded and said, "Don't forget to tell Jiang Xingchen about this, and then talk about Xingchen Monthly... Forget it, I'll write a letter to him myself..."
Not long after, a speed eagle flew from Heluo Ling to the northwest, a laugh like fairy-ning silver bell burst out at the foot of the mountain behind Qingshan Village: "It's successful, Xingchen, we've succeeded!"
Jiang Xingchen looked at Xian Ning, who was as excited as a little girl, and also smiled. He first used the temperature-controlled pressure array to build a kiln, and then the ratio of various raw materials. After several days of trial, cement was finally developed.
