Soon, an hour passed.

Chu Suiliang clapped his hands to Li Xuan excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The subordinates have heard the principles of what the Majesty said, and will definitely urge the general to be a prisoner. Within two years, the Majesty's other courtyard will be built." Finish!"

"Two years?"

Li Xuan's eyes widened directly, "Why does it take two years for such a courtyard?"

"My Majesty, to build a courtyard for your Majesty, you must use high-quality giant trees and boulders. There is no storage of giant trees in the palace, so you can only cut them from the deep mountains, wait for them to dry, and send them to transport them. The same is true for boulders.

Moreover, the king's house must be built with bricks and stones, and it will take a long time to fire the bricks and stones! "

Chu Suiliang explained.

"Chu Changshi, don't worry, I don't need huge trees and big stones to build a house, and I don't need too many bricks!" Li Xuan nodded and said.

"Don't want giant trees and boulders?"

Chu Suiliang was startled.

"Li Baoding, take Chu Changshi to see the cement!" Li Xuan said to Li Baoding who was on the side.

Now, among Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others, Li Baoding is the one who is most familiar with the objects in the forge.

"Yes, Ayer!"

After listening, Li Baoding responded quickly.

"Thank you King Huaiwei!" Chu Suiliang hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Baoding.

Li Baoding just nodded lightly, then walked out.

Chu Suiliang had long been used to this, and he excused Li Xuan, and quickly withdrew.

After a while, Chu Suiliang came back with a face full of shock.

"Please don't worry, your majesty, with this fetish, the construction of the other courtyard will definitely be completed within a year!"

"Very good!"

Li Xuan's face brightened.

Afterwards, Chu Suiliang questioned Li Xuan carefully for a while, then hurried to Chang'an City.

According to Chu Suiliang's idea, although Jinwang's other courtyard will not be bigger than Jinwang's mansion in Chang'an City, it will still occupy an area of ​​[-] mu.

Of course, this was just Chu Suiliang's idea.

In the end, how to build it and how big it will be will be planned by General Supervisor Gongsun Nian and other master craftsmen.

Immediately, after listening to Chu Suiliang's intentions.

Without even thinking about it, Gongsun, the general supervisor, came directly to Lijiazhuang with officials such as the young supervisor and the Zuo school office, as well as a few Zijiang craftsmen.

Seeing Chu Suiliang was full of surprise, the general prisoner seemed to be overly enthusiastic about his king.

In the car, Chu Sui asked curiously: "Lord Gongsun, I am a little confused. You seem to be a little bit..." about my king's other courtyard.

After finishing the question, Gongsun Nian gave a wry smile.

"Chu Changshi knows the two craftsmen beside King Jin, Ying Qi and Wu Fu?"

"I know!" Chu Suiliang nodded.

"Those two people were originally craftsmen who would serve as supervisors. Under the guidance of the king, they actually learned the methods of iron-smelting and steel-smelting. However, the last two techniques are cheaper than that old man Zheng Ye, Shaofu. Tens of thousands of catties of pig iron and refined steel can be smelted in one day in the prison.

Now, that old man Zheng Ye is proud of his spring breeze, his two nostrils almost grow to the sky.All the officials in the DPRK were full of compliments to the Shaofu Supervisor, so that Zheng Pifu, even the official, sometimes ignored him! "

Speaking of this, Gongsun Nian was full of depression.

"Forehead!"

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang suddenly realized, and at the same time looked into the eyes of Sun Nian, the general supervisor, and couldn't help but be full of sympathy.

Feelings, such a great contribution, were given to the Shaofu Supervisor by their own craftsmen, no wonder the General Supervisor was so depressed.

"In addition, the sofa and the glass were also made by Ying Qi and Wu Fu, who were taught by King Jin!"

Gongsun Nian didn't notice Chu Suiliang's eyes, and said to himself, "It's just that it has nothing to do with being a prisoner!"

……

Chapter 214

As he spoke, Gongsun Nian suddenly stared at Chu Suiliang closely.

"Chu Changshi, is the cement invented by the king really as miraculous as you said?"

"Your Majesty has absolutely no lies!"

Chu Suiliang hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

"So good!"

Gongsun Nian was overjoyed, and shouted to the coachman outside: "Speed ​​up!"

"Here!"

With a reply, Chu Suiliang fell back involuntarily.

The journey was bumpy, and when Chu Suiliang felt that his bones were about to fall apart, a group of people finally came to Lijiazhuang.

However, with Chu Suiliang leading the way, the imperial guards did not stop him.

Along the way, Gongsun Nian and other officials from the Zuo School Office, as well as a few catalpa craftsmen, looked around, and took out a compass from time to time to mark everywhere!

Seeing this, Chu Suiliang also stood aside and watched quietly.

In this way, after tossing and tossing for almost half an hour, several people finally arrived at Li Xuan's courtyard.

"The next official will be the supervisor, Gongsun Nian, who has met the Supreme Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness King Jin!"

Opening the curtain and going in, Gongsun Nian was startled.

Behind him, a group of general supervisors and Zijiang craftsmen also hurriedly saluted, a little flustered.

Why are the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince here?

After the salute, Gongsun Nian led a group of officials and stood respectfully to one side.

"Why did the general prisoner come here?"

Li Xuan asked.

"My lord, I'm here for cement!" Gongsun Nian replied directly.

Forehead!

Li Xuan was taken aback.

At this time, Gongsun Nian also seemed to realize something, and hurriedly said: "Chu Changshi said that the king built the other courtyard with cement as the main material. The lower officials are worried, and want to see for themselves whether it is really so magical. So, Only a lowly official can work with a group of great craftsmen to plan and build another courtyard for the king!"

"Ok!"

After listening, Li Xuan nodded slightly.

He raised his head again and looked at Li Baoding who was beside him.

"King Huaiwei takes you there!"

"Thank you, King!" "It's time to thank King Huaiwei!"

Gongsun Nian quickly saluted Li Xuan and Li Baoding.

Li Baoding nodded slightly, and walked out without waiting for Gongsun Nian to speak.

Chu Suiliang took Gongsun Nian and hurriedly followed.

Familiar with the road, let's show it to the old leaders.Ying Qi and Wu Fu put all their efforts into showing the various methods of cement.Even the reinforced concrete column was taken out during their previous experiment.

After a while, Gongsun Nian and the general supervisors, officials and craftsmen were all excited.

"Sacred object, this is a sacred object, and its merits will last for thousands of years! As long as this object is used on roads and houses, the people of Tang Dynasty will never be exposed to rain or cold again!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin is indeed a sage of the generation!"

"His Royal Highness King Jin's other courtyard is built with this cement, there is absolutely no problem!"

"That's where Lord Lao Gongsun and all the master craftsmen are here!"

On the side, Chu Suiliang said with a happy face.

"Chu Changshi don't worry, with this fetish, I only need to dispatch [-] people, [-] craftsmen, and [-] hard workers. In less than half a year, the king's other courtyard will be completed."

Gongsun Nian was full of confidence.

Ziren is a senior craftsman, that is, the current foreman, a master craftsman like a master, and an ordinary craftsman needs to listen to Ziren!

In the Tang Dynasty, although the Ministry of Industry was the highest income institution in the industry, the Ministry of Industry was only in charge of the government of the world, farming, and mountains.To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Industry is the general direction of regulation, in charge of public works.

The actual official offices for specific projects are still the Shaofu Supervisor and the General Supervisor.

Therefore, at this meeting, there are more than 6000 registered craftsmen in Shaofu Prison.And they will be prisons, and there are 3000 registered craftsmen!

In addition, among the people, there are still many individual craftsmen. If there are not enough craftsmen, they can also find Si Nongqing and deploy them from Si Nong's households.

After Li Xuan understood this clearly from Chu Suiliang, he couldn't help being surprised.

He thought that he knew Datang's industrial development well, but he still underestimated it.

Sure enough, apart from his noble background and having more advanced knowledge in his mind than these people don't know, everything else will be crushed by these people.

At the end of the day, the frustration continued.

However, fortunately, I can direct these people to work for me.

Thinking about it, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel better again.

However, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others suffered.

Within a day, his wife's complexion changed quickly, even more capricious than his own Aye, which made them tremble for a day.

Early the next morning.

Outside Lijiazhuang, a huge team appeared.

The imperial guards and Cheng Laosi who were guarding outside Lijiazhuang were all vigilant.

Although Chu Suiliang and the general supervisor Gongsun Nian were present, all the imperial guards were closely watching the craftsmen.

Li Xuan was awakened by the noise of these craftsmen.

Get up, get dressed, and stand outside your courtyard to watch.

Below, the general supervisor Gongsun Nian brought a group of officials, as well as some master craftsmen whom I saw yesterday, each commanding a group of craftsmen, and the crowd of common people, it should be the five hundred Hard labor, holding a shovel and a shovel, shoveling the soil vigorously.

Fortunately, winter has just passed, and the weeds are sparse, which is very suitable for leveling the land.

After looking around, Li Xuan turned and went back.

When Li Yuan brought Li Chengqian and others to Lijiazhuang, he was surprised to find that Li Xuan had woken up today.

"The villain has seen the king!"

Afterwards, within a short while, the housekeeper Li Chang also got stuck and came to Li Xuan's courtyard. At the same time, Ma Xi also came with a team of palace guards.

"It came just right!"

Seeing Li Chang, Li Xuan said: "Housekeeper, bring a box of money from the side room later, the wages for the hard labor and craftsmen are all settled! In addition, each person will be given two extra coins!"

Even though two pennies is not much, the wages of these hard laborers are only five pennies a day, that is, they can only buy a bucket of rice, which is enough food for a family of four for three days.The craftsman is eight coins.As for the Zi people, at least 24 coins.

"My lord, it's not even noon, and it's not halfway through the day!"

Li Chang was surprised.

"It doesn't matter, they won't run away after taking the money. On the contrary, they can still be full of motivation!"

Li Xuan waved his hand indifferently and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Chang was thoughtful, quickly responded, and walked out.

Let the two palace guards carry a box of copper coins and walk down.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Li Xuan asked Sixth Uncle to ask the farmers in Lijiazhuang to help carry out the steamed cakes and boiled water.
