Ancient promotion routine

Zhang Yanjin shook his head, took out a blueprint from his cuff, and said, "We also have to make a stove specially for briquettes. This kind of stove is small and convenient, and it is much more convenient than they burn a big pot. They used our designed stove." , Naturally, briquettes should be used.”

Wang Shi and Wang Jiu took the blueprint in Zhang Yanjin's hand as if they had found a treasure, opened it and studied it carefully.

But after a while, Wang Shi and Wang Jiu frowned and said: "Ventilation from top to bottom, and a boiler on top, although the air can enter from below, but can this really ensure that the briquettes will continue to burn?"

Zhang Yanjin asked in an unhurried manner: "Then the current boiler only has one port to put firewood into the air. Why can firewood be burned? Honeycomb is much easier to burn than firewood."

Wang Shi and Wang Jiu had no way to refute, they could only keep silent.

Zhang Wuer, on the other hand, said impatiently: "The two of you can make it and let's try it, right? When did Erlang say something wrong? You two are still dawdling here."

Wang Shi and Wang Jiu thought about it and found out that they were right, so they nodded and went to make the stove drawn by Zhang Yanjin with the blueprint.

Zhang Yanjin turned around and went to the red brick houses outside the coal mining site. These red brick houses were built after a few years and let the workers move in after drying them out.

He silently calculated the current number of people in the factory, and found that if he increased the scale, there would definitely not be enough workers. Although people from other counties came to work here from time to time, they were still a minority.After the red brick house was dry and ready for people to live in, it was time for him to ask Zhang Wuer to go to other counties to recruit people.

After all, the production of high-purity distilled liquor requires a new factory, but the factory may need ten or twenty people at the beginning.

The house needs to be painted, and now the cement factory and the brick factory are temporarily merged together. If the demand increases, the two factories cannot be merged together. By that time, I am afraid that countless workers will be needed.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yanjin pointed to the red brick house and said, "Add two more rows to make it three floors."

Zhang Wuer replied excitedly, "Erlang, are we going to recruit some workers?"

Zhang Yanjin nodded and said, "However, it's not the time to recruit people yet. We need to build the house first so that the workers have a place to live."

After Zhang Yanjin arranged many matters of the coal mine and the brick factory, she went through the accounts roughly, and then she was going to go back to her room to rest.

As soon as he came out, he was attracted by an ordinary carriage not far away.

In Datong, Xizhou, the people have been impoverished for many years. Even the county magistrate Meng Jinglun walks or rides horses when he goes out. There is no carriage at all.

But now a carriage appeared here out of thin air, which really didn't make him notice.

The carriage is very simple, the outer cover is the darkest navy blue velvet, and the curtain is a lighter color velvet, without any extra patterns.

"Erlang, this carriage seems to have been parked here for a long time." Zhang Wuer whispered beside Zhang Yanjin: "Should I ask someone to warn me?"

Ever since Zhang Yanjin sold Ruitan years ago, there have been sporadic people coming here to observe, and both Zhang Yanjin and Zhang Wuer have gotten used to it.

But most of the people who came to peep on weekdays sneaked over to take a look, and after being discovered by them, they left in disgrace.

This is the first time they have encountered this kind of people who came here in a carriage and peeped openly.

Just when Zhang Yanjin was about to say no, a big hand with sharp bones stretched out from the originally quiet car, followed by a man wearing a black mink fur, a black double-breasted gown with dark patterns, and his hair tied up with a hosta The stalwart man appeared in front of Zhang Yanjin.

Apart from the emperor who possesses the aura of being supreme and awe-inspiring to conquer the world, who else can be so majestic without being angry?

The current emperor is about to conquer the world, and after being so powerful, he is crowned the Great Treasure. He is stepping up to the throne step by step with his own strength in blood and rain. What kind of scene has he never seen?It was also in his prime, so his bearing was more than 01:30 points higher than that of ordinary emperors who would inherit the throne.

Zhang Wuer was the one who accompanied Zhang Yanjin and was beaten in Chang'an Lingyin Yamen, and he also met the emperor and Li Mingrui who was beside the emperor.

Seeing that the person he wanted to take over to clean up just now was actually the emperor, Zhang Wuer's legs softened in fright.Fortunately, Erlang didn't let him go just now, if he went, wouldn't he have lost his life?

Li Mingrui was dressed in black clothes, with a sword bestowed by the emperor on his waist, he jumped out of the car and stood by the side of the car.

Zhang Yanjin looked at the emperor and was immediately stunned.Why did the emperor suddenly appear here in a shabby carriage?Shouldn't it be a bright yellow crown, accompanied by steps, followed by hundreds of officials?

But Zhang Yanjin couldn't help but carefully looked at the emperor who was sitting in the carriage without anger and prestige, and admired him in his heart.He really deserves to be an emperor through the ages, dressed so ordinaryly, sitting in such a shabby carriage, and still has the air of a ruler in the world. It seems that the title of the real dragon emperor is not for nothing.

But Xizhou Datong is so far away from Chang'an City, and the emperor came all the way here, isn't he afraid that the advising doctors in the palace will find out?Wouldn't that sanctimonious hypocrite Liu Yanshi play?

Seeing Zhang Yanjin standing there in a daze, there was no reaction at all.The emperor's face immediately pulled down.

Li Mingrui glanced at the emperor's gloomy profile from the corner of his eye, and sweated for Zhang Yanjin.

After seeing the blueprint passed back by the informant, the emperor looked at Zhang Yanjin's already built two-story red brick house and pondered for a long time. He actually decided to put aside official duties and let the prince supervise the country. He came here quietly.

Although it has been stipulated since ancient times that the emperor cannot leave the palace, the imperial power is above all else, and there is nothing impossible for the emperor to go wherever he wants.

Now that the emperor is exhausted from traveling and traveling, he is already exhausted, but Zhang Yanjin is still in a daze? !

Zhang Wuer stammered and said: "Erlang, Erlang, you are really the emperor..." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Wuer fell to his knees with a plop in fright, and prostrated himself on the ground with a long body, saying: "The grassmen see the emperor! "

It was only then that Zhang Yanjin's thoughts were pulled back, and he naturally felt the majestic gaze of the emperor for the first time.

He trotted all the way over with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Seeing the emperor's complexion getting worse, Zhang Yanjin glared at Li Mingrui and said, "General Li, you are the leader of the imperial guards in the palace. Not only did you not stop the emperor, but you even allowed him to leave the palace. This Xizhou Datong and Chang'an City The distance is thousands of miles away, and the emperor left without permission, so the city of Chang’an is in chaos? Can you bear this responsibility? I’m going to write a letter to the court now..."

A wave of anger rose from the bottom of the emperor's heart, he hadn't blamed this kid for being rude, did this kid actually start to find fault with him?

"Shut up!" The emperor glared at Zhang Yanjin and said.

Zhang Yanjin smiled and said: "The emperor has come here from a long distance, why don't you say hello to the humble minister first, so that the humble minister can treat the emperor well?"

The emperor's face turned pale, Xizhou Datong is far away from Chang'an, no one has seen the emperor at all, after sitting in the carriage for so many days, the emperor was already sleepy, so he simply got out of the carriage.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Yanjin pointed to the red brick villa at the foot of the mountain and said, "Your Majesty, that is the house built with red bricks by my minister. Please come and watch the emperor."

The emperor followed Zhang Yanjin all the way to the Red Brick Villa. To be honest, when they first entered the Datong area of ​​Xizhou, the first thing that attracted the emperor and Li Mingrui was the labor chant full of blood. The distance is too far, and only the sound of the distant chant can be heard, but the sound is so small that they still can't let them ignore the power that makes people's blood surge.

The second thing that attracted the emperor was the neat rows of red brick houses outside the factory. The red brick houses were rectangular in shape, and there were many barriers in them, which divided the red brick houses into countless small rooms.

There is a kind of gray mud inlaid in the red bricks, but it is not the mud used in building houses on weekdays, just looking at it is quite considerate.

After Zhang Yanjin presented the red bricks on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor once asked Liang Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Agriculture, to study the red bricks, and gave Liang Shaoyu the pictures sent back from Xizhou at that time. After a lot of analysis, the conclusion returned to the emperor is that if the output of this red brick is so large, it is a treasure that can change the course of history. The houses built with red bricks are many times stronger than the houses they live in now. Some big disasters, If there is this red brick house, there will be a lot less things.

Once red bricks are widely used, anyone who can afford the price of red bricks will tear down their houses and build them into solid brick houses.

This time the emperor saw the real thing with his own eyes, and he felt even more shocked than the picture.The house is neat and tidy, with simple lines and no complicated carvings, but it has a simple beauty.

The emperor looked in the direction of Zhang Yanjin's finger, and found that there was actually a red brick house in the distance, so he looked at Zhang Yanjin suspiciously.

Zhang Yanjin explained with a smile: "Reporting to the emperor, I have just arrived, and I really have no other place to live. I can only temporarily borrow the houses of the villagers. That is the house that I asked someone to build for me."

The emperor followed Zhang Yanjin all the way there, and took a look at Zhang Yanjin's brick factory and cement factory.

"After the red bricks were fired, the minister suffered from the inability to glue the red bricks to the red bricks when building a house. He accidentally found a kind of stone in the suburbs. After burning, he ground it into powder and mixed it with water. It became this kind of semi-solid mud, and the minister saw that this kind of thing looks like mud, so he named it cement." Zhang Yanjin took the initiative to explain.

What is the emperor, the emperor must be careful to serve him, otherwise the emperor will be unhappy and take his coal mine away?But he knew that it was impossible for the emperor to do this for his own statement.

But as the saying goes, it is easy to do things well when the relationship is integrated, and he still has something to ask the emperor, so naturally he can't neglect the emperor.

"Lead the way ahead, I also want to see what your newly built house with cement and red bricks looks like." The emperor put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

Zhang Yanjin made a gesture of invitation, and led the emperor out of the factory all the way to the red brick villa at the foot of the mountain.

This red brick villa is no longer what Chen Sulai saw. The outermost layer has been painted with cement by the craftsmen, and several layers of white material have been applied to make the outer wall of the house look smooth and white. This is just the beginning. , the workers reported the matter to Zhang Yanjin after they found that the walls became very easy to paint after the snow-white paint was applied.

Hearing this, Zhang Yanjin suddenly remembered that the paintings of later generations all painted the walls white first, and then painted them.It's just that the current colored paint is really not as good as the latex paint of later generations, and I'm afraid it will need to be supplemented in a few years.

But he changed his mind, a few years later, his business expanded, and he didn't know where he would live, so he asked people to paint the villa with paint, as if the outermost layer of the villa was painted into the elegant appearance of a modern European villa. Against the backdrop of the green hills, the villas under the sun are even more elegant and chic.

"You designed this yourself?" The emperor couldn't hide his surprise.This house is different from any building he has seen before. The lines are simple and the colors are light. Different from the indigo vermilion that is used in houses now, the colors used are almost all milky white and light blue, just like the people in the sun. Like a saint, beautiful but dignified.

In comparison, the palace where he lives is a majestic and solemn old man.

Zhang Yanjin scratched her head and said with an embarrassed smile: "One night, I had a dream and dreamed of a paradise. There was such a house in it. I built this house when I had a fresh idea."

He read many biographies when he was a child, and found that after those people invented something, if the inventor was unwilling to say it when asked, he would say that he had dreamed about it, and the problem was left alone.

After all, there is no way to exhaust the problems in dreams with modern science. The ancients believed in the way of heaven so much, so how could they go further?

The emperor glanced at Zhang Yanjin indifferently, his heart brightened.This Zhang Yanjin is extremely clever, but he always pretends to be stupid to deceive the world. Damn kid, he even deceived him before.

I think the design of this house has a lot of background, but it's just that the damn kid doesn't want to talk about it.Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help cursing in his heart: Damn you boy!

"There are still red bricks and cement inside, the emperor wants to go in and have a look?" Zhang Yanjin invited.

The emperor nodded slightly, and Zhang Yanjin led himself and Li Mingrui into the villa.After passing through the reserved grassland and some decorative buildings, Zhang Yanjin led the emperor into the main house.

Since the inside is only red bricks and cement, there is really nothing to watch. Zhang Yanjin explained to the emperor in a language that the Wei Dynasty could understand that the living room is the lobby, and the recess reserved under the room is a fireplace. In addition to heating in winter, He took the emperor up the spiral staircase.

After all, the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, and he still has no fear when he goes up the spiral staircase, and his steps are steady.On the contrary, Li Mingrui, the leader of the imperial guards, followed the emperor step by step, and was always ready to protect the dragon body of the emperor in case of any danger.

After a group of people went up to the second floor, Li Mingrui was slightly relieved.

"This is the bay window." Zhang Yanjin pointed to the protruding cylindrical design in the bedroom, and explained: "Sunlight shines from here, and through the window, it can make the room brighter." In the future, the glass will still be removed, This looks better.

It has to be said that the emperor and Li Mingrui were a feast for the eyes and gained a lot of insight after following Zhang Yanjin around.

It's just that one of the two is a majestic king, and the other is the calm leader of the imperial guards. They are different from Chen Su who has no burden. Although they were surprised, they didn't show it.

When the three of them came out of the villa, Zhang Yanjin took the initiative to invite: "When I first dreamed of this house, I wanted to build this house and dedicate it to Your Majesty. It's just that I was afraid that it was just a dream in Nankey, so I came here. I did the experiment first, but I never thought it would be successful in one fell swoop. This place is located under the majestic green mountains, and it is cool in summer, so it is a good place to escape the summer heat. If the emperor does not abandon this small place, the emperor can come to this small place of humble ministers to escape the summer heat."

Datong has left countless scenic spots in later generations, and it is also known as the city of splendor. The place Zhang Yanjin chose is the foot of Cuiping Mountain in later generations. It has excellent Fengshui and beautiful environment. The scale and beauty of this villa are comparable to Compared with the other palaces of the emperor, it can be said that it is even worse.

That's why Zhang Yanjin dared to boldly ask the emperor to come and stay for a few days, after all, he still asked the emperor to ask for this place.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that when Zhang Yanjin asked him for the place of Datong, it was not because he felt that his contribution was insignificant, and the poverty of the place in Datong matched his contribution.He was sure that this nasty kid must have planned it for a long time, and when he was in a good mood and didn't know it, he asked him to ask for this place, why he accidentally discovered a coal mine, and dreamed of Xanadu, that's all nonsense light!

But thinking about it, this kid has a heart after all, and he knows to use this place as a summer palace for himself, the emperor finally feels less angry.
