Chu Qing is quite happy, as long as he can save money.
If Huang Laosi makes such a fuss, the matter of farmers eating will be solved in the future. More than 200 people will be able to save a lot of money.
Compared to Sun An, Chu Qing suddenly liked dealing with Huang Laosi. This guy was simple and rude in his work, but much better than the slippery old eunuch.
When he returned to the Taowudian ruins, Fu San came back and negotiated with some construction and material shops in Bei City. The things Chu Qing wanted could be prepared the next day, and the deposit was paid.
Chu Qing was busy comparing the materials and didn't notice Huang Laosi leaving.
After all, he was doing a special type of work, so he couldn't just follow Chu Qing to watch the excitement, feel good about beating up a fat eunuch, and then go back to deal with the memorial.
Chu Qing, on the other hand, gave technical guidance, talking and gesticulating, and the dealers seemed to understand.
"It doesn't use Sanhe soil, it's not blue brick, it's red. Do you understand the red brick, and the blue brick you are talking about is not..."
"Pour the clay into the pond, add water, and let people step on it. It's best to have two cows step on it..."
"There can be no impurities..."
"You have to use brick molds, and then the bricks are dried after the backlog is formed..."
"If you don't have a kiln, just build a kiln and bake it..."
"After the kiln is fired, water it and then stuff the kiln..."
"Why do you think it reduces red high-priced iron oxide to blue-grey low-priced iron oxide..."
After talking a lot, Chu Qing looked at everyone and said, "Now you understand."
The dealers looked at each other, and Wu Gang looked sad: "Master, we can still understand what you just said about Sanhetu. The more you talk about it, the less we can understand it."
Originally, the bankers could understand one sentence out of ten sentences, but when Chu Qing talked about high-priced iron oxide, they could not understand anything out of ten sentences or eleven sentences.
Chu Qing squatted on the collapsed stone pillar with a depressed look.
In fact, he has never cast bricks before. He only knows a rough process and technology, and even the ratio of materials used is not very accurate.
Rubbing his head vigorously, Chu Qing was in trouble.
The dealers were really good at their work and worked very hard, but the problem was that they couldn't understand what they were saying, and neither could anyone.
Wu Gang glanced at Chu Qing's face and said cautiously: "My boss, I'm going to build a brick pond and a kiln in the palace. The nobles in the palace, are you okay with that?"
"What's not allowed? Once it's built, tear it down and clean it up. That's the way anyone decorates their house."
Rubbing his head, Chu Qing waved his hand: "Forget it, let's burn it first, and the others will get the adhesive."
In ancient times, there was no cement, so clay, sand, white plaster mud, glutinous rice juice, etc. were used for bonding. The walls and foundations of the buildings were all rammed. The soil was rammed layer by layer, and the structure was relatively tight.
After all, it was a palace. After the collapse, it was all leftover. It took a day just to clean it up.
When it got dark, Chu Qing led the people out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, Chu Qing had a sad face.
Because the bankers didn't quite understand what he meant about burning bricks.
Good-quality green bricks are of high value. Chu Qing simply doesn't have that much budget, so he can only bake red bricks and hollow bricks himself. One is to save costs, and the other is that the quality can be better.
But Chu Qing overestimated his ability to express himself, and also overestimated the bankers' ability to understand.
After leaving the palace, everyone was about to go their separate ways. When Chu Qing was about to leave with Fu San, Tao Ruolin caught up with her hands behind her back and her head tilted.
"My boss, my boss, I have something to tell you."
Chu Qing turned his head and said expressionlessly: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Does the brick you mentioned really work after being fired?"
"What do you think? It's useless for me to build a house for the emperor."
Tao Ruolin smiled and nodded: "But the bankers didn't understand."
Chu Qing said nothing.
This is what I said, it is very different from the traditional way of firing bricks, and the farmers cannot understand it.
"I understand." Tao Ruolin said with a bright look on her face: "I will help you burn it out, and you are not allowed to be cold-faced to me in the future."
"Do you understand?"
Chu Qing looked suspicious. He didn't understand what he said, but the other party actually understood it?
"Yes, take the soil, crush and sieve the fine soil left behind, add water and knead it repeatedly, use cattle and horses to trample it, and turn it into bricks. They must be shielded and not exposed to the sun. The bricks are completely dried and put into the kiln. Use coal, slowly turn off the fire, and seal the kiln with mud.
There are ventilation holes on the top, and then it falls into the water to cool down, and then comes out of the kiln when it cools down, right?"
Chu Qing's expression was greatly moved, and he snapped his fingers vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's what it means. That's what I want to say, that's right."
"I taught them how to burn, and you are not allowed to be cold-faced to me in the future."
After finishing speaking, Tao Ruolin turned around and ran away, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.
Fu San scratched the back of his head: "Master, is she very smart?"
"Yes." Chu Qing looked at Tao Ruolin's back and said in an inexplicable tone: "This girl is not simple."
"How to say?"
"I didn't even understand it myself, but she actually understood it."
Chu Qing felt very weird. It was as if he was talking and gesticulating to someone about a microwave oven, and then he talked about how to drastically change its function, appearance, and principles. He didn't even understand it himself, and then the person listening gave him a diagram of the structure.
Out.
Chu Qing shook his head: "Since she is a smart person, it is not unintentional to stir up trouble outside the palace during the day. She deliberately made things worse."
Fu San's expression changed slightly: "Is this woman so sinister?"
Chu Qing said nothing.
Originally, Chu Qing just thought that this maid from the Tao family was just watching the fun and not afraid of big trouble, just for fun, regardless of whether others lived or died. But now it seems that this girl did it on purpose, deliberately tricking others and making things bigger.
The problem is that if things get serious and they cheat themselves, the Tao family will inevitably suffer consequences. The other party has no reason to do this.
Even if there is a reason to deceive oneself, there is no reason to deceive the Tao family.
Chu Qing was puzzled, and this girl was also in the crowd at that time. If the guards really captured everyone, she wouldn't be able to escape.
"Master, what are you thinking about?"
Fu San's voice brought Chu Qing's thoughts back to reality. The latter shook his head: "Oh, it's okay, go back."
…………
Guangfu, the residence of Guang Haishang, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry.
In the bedroom, a beautiful-looking woman was crying and howling.
"Zhi'er, my mother-in-law Zhi'er, who the hell did I bring you to such a state..."
The woman was none other than Hong Haishang's wife, Hong Wushi, and her voice was hoarse from crying.
The dead fat man on the bed was none other than Hiroko Chi. He had already passed out when he was carried out of the palace by the imperial guards. His back, buttocks, and legs were all bruised and bloody. He still hasn't woken up yet. He was given medicine. The doctor said that at least
It takes a year and a half to train before you can get out of bed. Even if you can get out of bed and move around, it will probably be useless.
Hiro Wu was lying on the bed crying, and there were two people standing behind him, one was the right minister of the Ministry of Works, Hiro Haishang, who looked uncertain, and the other was the chief minister of the Ministry of Works, Hiro Gaota.
"For mother, for mother..." Hong Wushi cried, suddenly stood up, turned around and pounced on Hong Goda, scratching Hong Goda's face with her long nails.
Caught off guard, Hung Gundam was scratched with three blood marks. Hung Wu cursed heartbreakingly: "You idiot, you entered the palace with Zhi'er. Why did Zhi'er end up like this...Gah."
In the middle of the quarrel, the Qi and blood of the Hsiang Wushi attacked his heart, and he threw his head back and fainted.
Heng Haishang didn't say anything to help him, and allowed his wife to faint on the ground. He turned to look at Hong Hai and said coldly: "Tell me the whole story of this matter again, no matter how big or small it is.
