Time passed day by day, Chu Qing came to the palace every day to check in and tell stories, and several different types of bricks were burned.
I have to say that Chu Qing is really very lucky. It's not that the banker is smart and it only takes a few burns, but Tao Ruolin is smart.
What he didn't know was that Tao Ruolin also built a small furnace to refine bricks and stones in Tao's village.
At the beginning, he only gave a general idea, but Tao Ruolin found the trick and the real ratio through trial and error, allowing the dealer to burn several types of bricks that satisfied Chu Qing.
Of course, there is no such thing as hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason. Tao Ruolin secretly helped Chu Qing, presumably not because she was too busy.
What Chu Qing didn't even know was that several smelting furnaces had been built in Tao's village, and the strong woman Bihua worked overtime to cast a large number of bull nose rings.
Seeing that the day for handing over the work was coming soon, Chu Qing felt guilty. He was trembling in fear every day in the palace, fearing that when the day came, the emperor would suddenly let a group of guards take him to the market entrance and behead him.
Feeling anxious in his heart, Chu Qing was no longer in the mood to tell stories, so he kept telling more stories every day, and kept writing all sorts of nonsense.
The dealers are not happy, and the guards are not happy either, but there is nothing they can do if they are not happy. They are all having sex for nothing, and they are too embarrassed to urge the change.
But just because they don’t push for updates, it doesn’t mean that Huang Laosi doesn’t push for updates either.
In the Jingyi Hall, Huang Laosi, who had just finished approving the memorial, frowned and called softly: "Sun An."
"The old slave is here."
"Have you noticed that the recent story about a bald man and three idiots is full of loopholes?"
Sun An did not dare to speak casually.
He has no interest in this silly story at all, so he doesn't understand the daily updates.
"Last time, I talked about going to Shituoling. The four masters and disciples had many thrills. But yesterday, Chu Qing said that Xun Wukong had transformed into some kind of brave train man. He screamed and directly killed Shituo.
All the monsters in the mountain were killed."
Sun An sneered, but still didn't speak.
He didn't know the development of the plot, let alone what Iron Gallant Train Man was. Just by hearing the name, he knew he was not a good man. Iron Gallant, Huan Xia, was probably a lawless ranger.
Huang Laosi frowned and continued: "There is still yesterday, yes, it was yesterday. Tong Gui said that Chu Qing was perfunctory in every possible way, and he could not even get through half of the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, but the latest look back at last night,
Xun Wukong said that he was walking too slowly and wanted to hit Tang Monk to death with a stick and send him to the West. It would be faster and less laborious. This...isn't this perfunctory? It's extremely perfunctory."
Looking up at Sun An, Huang Laosi asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why are you so perfunctory?"
The old eunuch had a sad face.
Where do we know where to go? The stories people tell are not allowed to be told however they want.
"How about I ask, old slave?"
"Inappropriate." Huang Laosi shook his head: "If you ask, if Chu Qing is so smart, you will suspect that I have also listened to his stories. If you mistakenly think that I have neglected the government and only paid attention to stories every day... it is inappropriate.
, it’s hugely inappropriate.”
Sun An was embarrassed to say anything.
It turns out that you also know that you have nothing to do every day.
"Call Tong Gui."
"Old slave, go right away."
Huang Laosi lowered his head and began to flip through the memorial at random.
It has to be said that Huang Laosi is really not idle. He does all the work he should do. Listening to stories is squeezed out of his "spare" time, such as eating, before going to bed, and studying how to toss which ones are not pleasing to the eye.
When I was a minister, I used this time to catch up with the updates without delaying the official business.
After a while, Tong returned and knelt down on one knee.
Huang Laosi asked without raising his head: "How is the repair of Taowu Hall going?"
"The general originally wanted to talk to His Majesty about this tonight, but this Chu Qing..."
"What happened to Chu Qing?"
Huang Laosi raised his head and frowned. Originally, he asked casually, and then continued his chatter, wondering why Chu Qing was so good at word count now.
"Your Majesty, the farmers fired bricks yesterday, but this brick...this brick...this fired brick will never be understood."
Reaching into his arms, Tong Gui took out half a brick and handed it to Sun An.
Sun An just glanced at it slightly and took a breath of cold air.
Huang Laosi didn't know why: "Bring it over."
Sun An quickly handed over half of the bricks. Huang Laosi took a closer look and suddenly became furious: "This Chu Qing is looking for death!"
Sun An lowered his head and did not dare to say a word, and Tong Gui also did not dare to breathe.
Both of them could see that the emperor was angry, he was really angry.
Because the newly fired bricks are hollow.
"Chu Qing, you're such a good Chu Qing, you Chu Qing who doesn't know whether to live or die!"
Huang Laosi was furious and roared: "If you don't want to build this Taowu Palace, let's put it bluntly. You dare to use this kind of bricks and stones to fool me. Do you really think that I don't dare to punish your father and son of the Chu family?"
!”
Chang Chengyou slapped the table and said: "Sun An!"
"The old slave is here."
"Go, take the guards, and bring that ignorant thing in front of me!"
"Your Majesty." After all, the prostitute boy still had some conscience and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Your Majesty, not all the bricks and stones fired by Chu Qing look like this. There are also some other bricks and stones.
I tried it secretly and found that it was of high quality, but the color was just not right."
"The other bricks and stones are good materials?" Chang Chengyou frowned: "The implication is that these hollow bricks are only used for decoration, not for construction?"
"It's hard to say, General. I just think it's strange. If it was for decoration, the hollow masonry would be burned the most. But if it's said that Chu Qing was waiting for the emperor's orders, it doesn't look like it, because other styles of masonry were also burned."
Chang Chengyou sat back on the stool, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Now that he has calmed down, he feels that Chu Qing is not that stupid. He built a palace with hollow bricks. Wouldn't it collapse if the wind blows? How many people dare to do this if they are desperate for their lives.
But if you use these flashy hollow bricks as embellishments, Tong Gui also said that hollow bricks are the ones that are burned the most.
Tong Guiyi, who had spent many chapters in vain recently, gritted his teeth and suggested: "I think Mr. Chu is not just waiting for the emperor's orders. The construction period is approaching in the past few days, and he has been anxious all day long..."
"Afraid?" Huang Laosi was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized.
No wonder the content has been so dull these days. It turns out that the construction deadline is coming soon, so this guy is anxious and not in the mood to tell stories.
Since he is anxious, he must not dare to fool around with things.
The emperor's anger came and went quickly. After thinking about it, he laughed and said: "What's the point of being anxious? I have clear rewards and punishments. I haven't rewarded him for his achievements in horseshoes and bull nose rings. I will delay the repair of the palace."
Time doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to build the Lion and Camel Ridge...as long as he is willing to build this palace for me."
Tong Gui breathed a sigh of relief, but Sun An looked sideways at the former, wondering why Tong Gui wanted to help Chu Qing.
Huang Laosi waved his hand, and Tong Gui walked backwards out of the palace.
The emperor's eyes fell on the half hollow brick again, and he said angrily: "This brick is just like the sour scholar, flashy, what's the use? It's a waste of stone, I'm afraid I can break it with just one finger."
After finishing his sentence, Huang Laosi raised his two fingers and suddenly slashed them.
Sun An quickly flattered every opportunity: "Your Majesty is born with supernatural powers and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Not to mention the bricks and stones, but the tight ones..."
Unable to flatter him anymore, Sun An was stunned, as was Huang Laosi.
Because that half of the hollow brick, let alone shattered, didn't even fall into pieces.
Huang Laosi was a little embarrassed and looked at Sun An. The old eunuch blinked, quite confused.
"strangeness."
Huang Laosi grabbed the bricks with one palm, and just as he was about to exert force, there was a loud bang, followed by thunder one after another.
The emperor put down the bricks and stones and said quietly: "It's rainy season again. I don't know how many people will be affected by the disaster."
The old eunuch also had a worried look on his face.
At this time of year, not to mention the lower county, even the palace area built on high ground is filled with water.
