There has always been a saying in China: If you want to be rich, build the road first. Zhu Su once led people from Yingtianfu to Suwangzhuang and spent a lot of money to repair the official road from Yingtianfu to Suwangzhuang with cement for free.
Ichiban.
Although no definite economic benefits have been seen for the time being, and in Zhu Su's eyes, the cement road is still very rough, but whether he could quickly return to Zhuangzi from Yingtian Mansion at this time, it was all thanks to that road
This is the result of cement officialdom.
Seeing Zhu Su, the night guard immediately opened the gate of the village, and the group of people rushed eastward like a gust of wind. Zhu Su did not stop and rushed directly to the cement kiln in the back mountain. Yuanji saw that the mountain was in
The cave dwellings looked like neatly arranged boulders in the night. There were two groups of people confronting each other on the road. The leader of one group was an official wearing a green robe, and that was the fifth-rank worker from the Ministry of Industry, Wailang Meiying.
"No five halls east!"
"Dian Dong is here!"
Someone shouted. Zhu Su reined in his horse and turned around under the protection of Di Meng. Yao Guangxiao, who had put on his black clothes, had already greeted him. He whispered to Zhu Su: "East of the hall, this man is guarding this place and won't let him go."
When the liquid enters the kiln, something strange must have happened."
Zhu Su's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Mei Ying looked serious even though he was stuck in the road, he had some bad suspicions. He nodded and ignored Mei Ying, walked around him and went to the cement kiln.
Go ahead.
"Dian Dong!" Mei Ying blushed and stopped in front of Zhu Su. "The fire in the room is not extinguished, and Dian Dong has a rich body. Dongguan does not dare to let Dian Dong put himself in danger!"
"I would like to ask the master of the palace to wait a moment until the ministers put out the fire..."
"...The fire is not extinguished?" Zhu Su sneered and turned his head to look inside. He saw that there was no light in the dark hole inside, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Mei Langguan, could I have deceived this king into blinding and deafening
?”
"There was neither fire nor shouting inside. Did I tell him that the fire was not extinguished?"
"That man surnamed Mei clearly has something up his sleeve! Their son just entered the cement kiln, and he kicked him out on the pretext that the rebels had already fled and were being pursued quickly." Li Rong was furious. "Let's lead people to point him out.
I chased him in the same direction for a while, but there was no thief anywhere? Did the guy do something bad and was afraid of being caught by him?"
"Oh?" Zhu Su raised his eyebrows. How dare that guy even deceive Li Rong? He turned to look at Mei Ying. The more he looked, the more he felt that the wrong party must be hiding something. He shouted in a deep voice: "Mei Ying, get out of the way!"
Mei Ying was in a cold sweat. The monk surnamed Yao had no official position, so it was no problem for him to suppress him. The monk surnamed Li was killing thousands of Han people, but he could barely stop him despite his arrogance.
Could it be that the person in front of me is Ming Bidong's most beloved legitimate son, a serious prince? Although the prince usually keeps his mouth shut and does not have a very dignified figure, he is a fifth-grade worker.
What kind of money does a minister, a foreign minister, have to show off in front of a prince?
But thinking of the disaster she had committed against Dong, Mei Ying had to bite her lips. Although her legs were shaking like chaff, she still said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty's rich body..."
"Although there is no fire inside, the poisonous smoke is... Dongguan really can't..."
"Capture him." Zhu Su didn't talk nonsense to the guy, and directly ordered Wu Wang Wei Dong. Behind him, Di Meng agreed, and came directly to cut Mei Ying's legs behind his back. Bu Qin Meiying shouted loudly and struggled, but Li Rong said directly
: "Li Qianhu doesn't have to worry too much after the month. If anything happens in the imperial village, I will naturally take care of it. Now go into the kiln with me immediately to see what happens!"
Li Rong responded loudly. He denied that Li Wenzhong had temporarily lent it to Zhu Su, but he did not deny that he was a direct descendant of the Zhu family. People who were in the imperial court during the week were naturally more worried. Hearing the slight blame in Zhu Su's tone, it was surprising
Feeling a little ashamed, Bu Nao couldn't care less about those thoughts now, and led dozens of sergeants into the cement kiln together with Zhu Su's Wu Wangwei.
Looking eastward, I found that there were some signs of fire in the shanties where some craftsmen lived. They were all in good condition, but there was no trace of a fire.
Deep in some small workshops used to develop Jenny machines, the first version of the Jenny machine that was finally made was indeed missing. It was a mess inside.
Soon, Li Rong caught a few sneaky men with torches, tied their legs and took them in front of Zhu Su.
"What are we sneaky people planning to do?" Zhu Su asked in a deep voice.
"What an injustice! What an injustice!" Before Zhu Su could use any method of torture to torture his legs, the men started shouting. "We are all good craftsmen registered in the Ministry of Industry! Mr. Mei, please let us know."
They set fire to the shed, but we didn’t move our legs!”
"Prince Su, we were wronged..."
After asking, I found out that before Mei Ying hurriedly stopped Li Rong's military households, he had asked several of his close craftsmen to use torches to burn down the sheds where the craftsmen lived in Pingyue. But none of them had been honest craftsmen for generations.
Households, not to mention ruthless military household bandits. When the fire goes east, not only the shack where they live will be implicated, and it is hard to know whether people will be burned to death, so how can they be so cruel?
Doing things like murder and arson?
While he was still hesitating, Zhu Su led his men in.
"Mei Langguan." Zhu Su took a long breath, and his face looked more and more uncertain under the torch. "It's just a small fire, why don't you say it's a big fire?"
“Am I trying to cover up something by hastily letting people set fire to the house?”
"Dongdong! Dongdong!" Mei Yi, who was thrown to the ground by Di Meng, kept kowtowing. "His uncle is the Marquis of Runan, and he is from the same faction as you and Prime Minister Hu in the court!"
"You can't kill him, you can't kill him!"
Zhu Su felt a wave of irritation. The bad premonition grew stronger and stronger in his heart, and finally he could no longer maintain the attitude of the five-diandong who ignored world affairs, so he mistakenly shouted at Mei Ying:
"Shut up! If you dare to say nonsense again, he will chop off my head!"
Mei Ying froze, finally not daring to beg for mercy anymore, her whole body was shaking with tears and runny nose.
"Tell me, what am I hiding? What happened tomorrow night?"
"The kiln is here...the kiln is here..." Mei Ying seemed to be extremely frightened by Zhu Su's sudden outburst. She couldn't speak clearly and didn't know what to say. Li Rong didn't know if he had any experience. He picked up Mei Ying like a chicken and swung it.
After a slap, Mei Ying's cheeks puffed up, and Bu Nao shut up, which made her become more fluent again.
"The kiln is under the bright moon... There are refugees who are causing trouble, including those who came to the kiln just after confinement."
"They burned several shacks and ruined some cement. When Dongguan hurried from the east bed, General Li and his companions were also there, but the rebels had disappeared."
"If those cements are not enough for the confinement period, please escort Dongguan to the north... Dongguan is worried that the court will blame him, so he wants to make the matter bigger to cover up Dongna's crimes..."
"The refugees are causing a rebellion?" Zhu Su's eyes narrowed. "The refugees are causing a rebellion, and Weihe is taking away his new loom?"
"How do those refugees know what's so special about that loom, or else I..."
"Dongguan..." Mei Ying pursed her lips for a few seconds and continued:
"Dongguan once complained in front of them that the master of the palace did not know how to sympathize with them, but he valued a loom for women so seriously."
"Perhaps... maybe they want to destroy the loom that the master of the palace values and express their resentment. It is unknown..."
Zhu Su's face softened slightly. That made sense. What he was most worried about was whether the cement formulas would leak out. The cement production in Buenao follows its own regulations and has a strict assembly line process. Everyone in the assembly line
The workers only know the process they are going through, but they don't necessarily know the entire recipe. It doesn't matter if there are a few new refugees, as long as they know the entire cement firing process.
After picking up Donglai, please go back to the small workshop and make sure that there are no broken pieces of the Jenny machine. Then you can rest assured.
Just as he was about to interrogate Mei Ying again, out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of a dog galloping towards him on horseback. He flew off his horse and trotted to Zhu Su's side, and whispered a few words to Zhu Su.
Zhu Su's face turned red, and his mind suddenly became enlightened.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Mei Ying, who seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief.
"Mei! I'll tell you the truth!"
"Have I followed the assembly line rules of King Dingdong truthfully?"
