The happy life of a prodigal

The passer-by saw Kang and Wang's blank faces, and couldn't help feeling complacent, and said, "Both of you, you don't know about that.

This new type of wheel was jointly developed by the Materials Research Institute and Engineering College of Xin'an Houfu.

This new type of wheel is made of a new type of material, the name is... called..."

The passerby paused for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It's called rubber, and it's shipped from Nanyang. After it's made into a wheel, walking on this newly built road, it's like flying like flying."

When Kang Wang and Gong Lao heard this, they were dumbfounded again.

If it was in the past, no matter how gaudy the person said, they would not believe it.

But now, the facts are in front of us.

They saw the carriage just now, and it disappeared from sight with a whiz.

This Materials Research Institute, Engineering Academy...

What else is there to build an academy, really so powerful?

For a moment, both Kang Wang and Gong Lao were in a state of disarray.

These three names were often heard by them in the past.

However, no matter how much I heard about them, I just regarded them as mobs and thieves.

It's nothing more than relying on flattery to get some benefits.

However, what happened in the sixth part, and what they saw today.

It seems that there are many differences from what I know!

These guys... seem to have some real skills!

Both Kang Wang and Gong Lao thought so.

Chatted with the passerby for a few words.

Both Kang Wang and Gong Lao continued to move forward.

Both of them remained silent, silently digesting the information they just received.

After a long while, Kang Wang said, "Why haven't I heard of these craftsmen before, and I haven't heard of many new materials."

In just a few days, they saw three new materials.

One is called cement, and the other is the material for road construction. In addition, there is that...rubber, rubber.

They are all new materials, and they are all very useful.

Why haven't I heard of it before.

What is the material research institute founded by Fang Xiu?

Listening to King Kang's question, Mr. Gong shook his head, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, this is actually the first time I know that this Materials Research Institute is so...so..."

For a while, I couldn't find a good adjective.

Hearing what old man Gong said, King Kang couldn't help sighing, and said silently in his heart: "Fang Xiu, Fang Xiu, what kind of person are you!"

At this moment, King Kang not only feared Fang Xiu, but also admired Fang Xiu.

Although Fang Xiu is his enemy.

but......

He still couldn't help but feel admiration.

If there is no Fang Xiu, the people of the Chu Kingdom, the court of the Great Chu, and even the royal family would not be able to live as they are now.

Just one sweet potato is enough to make Fang Xiu's name go down in history.

However, what he did was not just a sweet potato, but many, many.

After an hour and a half, he couldn't count.

To borrow a word.

This is just... so terrifying.

"Your Highness, it looks like the road is still under construction ahead."

Kang Wang was thinking wildly, when the voice of Gong Lao came from beside him.

After Kang Wang heard this, he raised his eyes and saw many people busy in front of him.

Of course the busy one is building roads.

Thousands of laborers are working desperately against the sun.

It seemed that he didn't know how heavy the sack was, so he picked it up and walked forward.

Just by looking at it, you can see how hard it is.

Seeing this scene, King Kang frowned first, and then relaxed it again.

He thought Fang Xiu was really kind at first.

Now it seems that is not the case.

All these labors have not passed through the Ministry of Household Affairs, that is to say, it is very likely that the work they do is not worth the corvee.

Moreover, the work they do seems to be much harder than corvee labor.

In such a scorching sun, no one can rest.

Obviously, they were afraid of Fang Xiu's power, so they didn't dare to neglect in the slightest!

Kang Wang thought so, and he already had a plan in his heart.

He took a few steps forward, walked up to the laborers who were working, looked at them, smiled on his face, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The laborers were all working, and no one heard what he said.

There was only one person who saw King Kang's expensive clothes and thought he was from Xin'an Houfu, so he paid attention.

heard his question.

That labor was stunned, and when he was stunned, he replied angrily: "What are you doing? Building roads!"

When Kang Wang heard this, he still had that breezy smile and asked again: "Of course I know that you are building the road, but do you know who the road was built for?"

While speaking, several laborers noticed Kang Wang again.

King Kang continued with a smile on his face, "If I'm not wrong, you must think that this road was built for the people of Kyoto Prefecture, for your parents and children.

But, let me tell you, it’s not actually, this road was built for the shopkeepers of these shops in the south of the city, after the road was repaired, they..."

Kang Wang had already thought about what to say.

It is nothing more than to use the matter of road construction to provoke conflicts between these laborers and the Xin'anhou Mansion.

His main argument is that the Xin'an Hou Mansion oppressed them by building roads.

If the road is repaired, the people who will benefit will be Xin'an Hou Mansion, they will not benefit at all, and their efforts will be wasted in vain.

In this way, to irritate these laborers.

Then, tell these laborers about your identity, tell them that you are His Royal Highness Kang Wang, and you can help them.

If there is something unfair, just tell yourself.

Then, by means of this matter, and with these labors, they made a big fuss, so that the people in the whole capital, and even the entire Chu State, would know what kind of person their revered Marquis Xin'an was!

However, just as he opened his mouth, before he got to the point, a labor force interrupted him.

"What you said is inexplicable. This road was built by the Marquis of Xin'an. Naturally, we built it for the Marquis of Xin'an. For the people of Kyoto Prefecture, and for parents and children, we are building the road for Marquis of Xin'an!"

As soon as these words came out, Kang Wang's face froze.

The most embarrassing thing for him was that after the man finished speaking, the response was overwhelming.

"Yes, it's not the road built for Xin'an Hou, but for whom?"

"Why are you so strange? Where did you come from? Could it be that you want to use us to slander Xin Anhou?"

Chapter 854 I'm Not Kang Wang

Marquis Xin'an was in Kyoto Prefecture and was often slandered by some dignitaries.

These laborers all know about this matter.

At this moment, when I saw these two luxuriously dressed people, they were obviously not ordinary people, and they were not pleasing to the eye, and they were also sneaky when they walked over, not knowing what they wanted to do.

Still thinking about it?

These guys must have evil intentions and want to find a job!

Almost in the next second, all the laborers on the construction site put down their work and walked over, looking coldly at Kang Wang and Gong Lao, with a fierce look on their faces.

"Tell me! Who are you two and what is the purpose of coming to us? Do you want to take this opportunity to slander Xin Anhou!"

The laborers surrounded Kang Wang and Mr. Gong, with cold expressions and a hostile look.

Kang Wang and Gong Lao have experienced many storms.

However, at this moment, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but lie a little bit.

In any case, no matter how poor they were before, they still had guards by their side. Has this ever happened?

If these laborers who don't know the rules really hurt people.

With my two small arms and legs, how can I beat the opponent?

It's just four words - no chance of winning!

He didn't lose in other places, but in the end he was defeated by a few ants-like labor...

Wouldn't it be a joke to say it out?

Moreover, how can you be willing?

Kang Wang looked at the scene in front of him, his expression changed again and again, and finally he was about to make up his mind.

Seeing Kang Wang's expression on the side, Mr. Gong naturally understood Kang Wang's thoughts immediately after being with him for more than ten years.

His expression suddenly became serious, he looked at King Kang, and said, "This is the prince of the current dynasty——His Royal Highness King Kang, I came here because I heard about Xin'an Hou's oppression of labor, and I want to come and have a look.

From this point of view, there is no problem, everything is fine, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by someone.

"Kang Wang? It's King Kang again? A few days ago, a few little bastards came to the construction site to steal cement, and they said they were from Kang Wang's mansion. The grandpas thought he was still a child, so they didn't care about him.

It's all right now, the young ones are gone, and the old ones are here. You look like dogs in your clothes, as if you are really honorable, and your feelings are here to steal cement.

You talk about what you are doing is not good, but you just want to do these sneaky things! "

After the words fell, Kang Wang and Gong Lao were both dumbfounded.

Steal cement?

King Kang's Mansion?

What is this all about?

When Kang Wang and Gong Lao were in a daze, a few laborers took a step forward, and at the same time said in a bad tone: "You little thieves, it seems that if you don't teach you a lesson, you don't know what to do!"

It was not Fang Xiu's deliberate arrangement that the laborers regarded Kang Wang and Gong Lao as thieves.

There were indeed a few petty thieves who came to the construction site to steal some cement or asphalt.

It's not about how valuable these materials are.

It's just because other shops don't know how these new materials are made, so they want to steal some for research.

Before the shopkeepers of those shops let these little thieves come, they had given orders.

In any case, he cannot reveal his identity.

After all, Marquis Xin'an... that's not easy to provoke.

Therefore, those little thieves are also smart, and they lied that they are from the Xin'an Houfu.

In this way, even if he was really caught by these laborers on the construction site, it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, stealing cement and asphalt is just a trivial novel.
