Chapter 178: Daxing is just around the corner
Jiugong and Gu Xuanjing walked out of the palace by themselves, and the snow outside the palace was falling, and the road that had been cleared in the morning was now covered with thick snow.
Fortunately, the streets of Taicheng today have been neatly equipped with a lot of bright runes, which illuminate the streets as if they were day.
Jiugong and Gu Xuanxiu were weak, and they could not fully resist the severe cold, so they curled up and walked under the heavy snow.
After walking for a long time, they finally came to the Craftsman's Mansion, they entered the mansion and were told that Lu Case had gone to Lingyun Pavilion.
With the help of the stone spirit giants, and many people who have a little bit of cultivation, the main body has been completed.
At the request of the lord of the country, the building of Lingyun Pavilion also needs to carve many fine cloud patterns, and the craftsman's mansion also needs to burn many colorful bricks and tiles to decorate the entire Lingyun Pavilion, which can no longer be as monotonous and lackluster as the previous Taicheng buildings.
Therefore, at present, the main task of the craftsman's house is to excavate the kiln in the mouth of the lord of the country, and then test it with various soils.
Thankfully, many of the vast wilderness areas are very strange, and in the extremely narrow areas, there are many completely different geology and soils.
In the land of Taicang, Zhou Qing, and Guinu, there are more than ten different kinds of soil, which makes Lu Xian, who wants to burn all kinds of bricks and tiles, breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiugong and Gu Xuan waited for a long time, about three or four hours, and even had a meal in the middle, Lu Case hurriedly led many artisan officials into the mansion, and Lu Case's extremely fast words also came into the ears of the two:
"Today's color tile samples have 12 kinds, and people are ordered to observe in detail the hardness, waterproofness and many other attributes of each brick and tile, and list them in a detailed report for the record. ”
"How is the recruitment of craftsmen going across the country? If the number is not enough, we will recruit teenagers and teach them ourselves.
"The three versions of the spear and armor drawings submitted by the Killing Weapon Academy for the Cang Defenders, let them go through it a few more times, there must be no mistakes, we must do our best, if someone proposes a better smelting method, the previous three versions can also be discarded!"
"Eat, what to eat? Immediately, the transformation of the city of Tai and Cang Ercheng will be put on the agenda, and it will not do any harm to the human body if you don't eat dinner!"
A kind of craftsman palace officials responded again and again, and the nine dukes in the mansion nodded deeply, and said in their hearts: "There are such conscientious and painstaking officials, no wonder Taicang can develop at a speed that is visible to the naked eye." ”
He didn't hesitate, stood up with Gu Xuan, and greeted Lu Case and other officials.
Lu Case saw the old man, and then saw the Biwu badge pinned to his chest, and then remembered that this was the Nine Princes in the Valley.
He didn't dare to slack off, and took a few steps to meet Jiugong, and said, "Lu has seen Jiugong." ”
Jiugong did not rely on the old man to sell the old, and took Gu Xuan to give a deep salute, and said: "I came here this time to disturb Lord Lu." ”
Lu Case hurriedly asked Jiugong to take a seat, and ordered someone to bring a few kinds of vegetable snacks that were extremely cherished and not often eaten by the owner of the craftsman's mansion, and then asked: "Jiugong came to my craftsman's mansion, but what kind of advice?"
Jiugong shook his head and said: "My craftsman's mansion is an important place for government affairs in Taicang, and I only have the advantage of being old enough to talk to Lord Lu, where can I have any advice." ”
"I came here to ask the Craftsman's Mansion to help me forge a special spiritual furnace in the valley, I have already met the lord of the country before, and it was the lord of the country who asked me to come here to see Lord Lu. ”
Before Lu Case could speak, a small official immediately brought a jade slip and whispered a few words to Lu Case.
Lu Case solemnly took the jade slip, read it carefully, and then ordered someone to put the jade slip away, and then said: "Jiugong's intention, I already know, I don't know if Jiugong can have a spirit furnace forging drawing? ”
Jiugong was stunned and looked at Gu Xuan on the side.
Gu Xuan hesitated, and took out about a dozen drawings from his arms.
He slowly opened one of them, and there was a huge intricate furnace drawn on it, and there were multi-faceted analysis drawings, which seemed extremely clear.
Gu Xuan said: "Lord Lu, the original picture has been lost, this picture is newly drawn by me, and many improvements have been made on the basis of the original picture, please rest assured, if you smelt in strict accordance with this picture, there will be no problems." ”
Lu took a handful of drawings, walked to the hall, and spread them out on the huge table that he usually used to draw drawings.
He and many officials looked at each other in detail, looking at each other, and their eyes revealed a little surprise.
I only heard Lu Case ask: "There are still such a sophisticated spirit furnaces, there are twenty-nine furnace mouths, which can be run separately or together, if I guess correctly, this spirit furnace is used to build and smelt spirit weapons, right?"
Gu Xuan nodded heavily, and saluted Lu Case again: "My lord, the spiritual weapon is the most proud inheritance in my valley, I want to use this inheritance to do my best for Taicang, and please fulfill it." ”
Lu Xuan glanced at Gu Xuan appreciatively, then carefully looked at the drawings, and said: "Such a complex spirit furnace, even if the Craftsman Mansion orders all craftsmen to forge it, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days. ”
Gu Xuan's heart was overjoyed, and he said secretly: "The adults of the Craftsman's Mansion are really powerful, my improved version of the spirit furnace is five times more complicated than the spirit furnace that was destroyed by the Pig Tooth Clan before, if we let Jian Gu build it ourselves, even if there is enough spirit gold, it will take two years!"
Immediately, he thought of something again, and said with a dark face: "My spirit furnace consumes too much spirit gold, if it really doesn't work, I will draw the original spirit furnace, and it will barely work with the original spirit furnace to smelt it first......"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Just now Wang Ting gave me a jade slip, and the jade slip said that you have brought back the spirit gold sample, why don't you let me take a look?"
Gu Xuan untied the palm-sized leather pouch from his waist, handed it to Lu Case, and said with a wry smile: "Spirit gold is rare, I thought too simple before, Taicang has no spirit gold mine......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that in Lu Case's hand, the lines of the head of the divine beast on the leather pouch lit up.
Followed by......
On the huge table, which is three zhang wide and five zhang long, pieces of completely different spiritual gold began to appear!
In just a dozen breaths, there are hundreds of kinds of spirit gold neatly arranged on the table, covering all the huge tables!
Gu Xuan opened his mouth, looked at the Xuanfang bag in Lu Case's hand, and then looked at many types of spiritual gold, and then glanced at Jiugong, who was also surprised, and then smiled bitterly in his heart.
"It turns out that the reason why the lord of the country doesn't want to listen to my explanation is here, there are so many spirit gold, this is just a sample, thinking about it like this, just a spirit furnace really won't make the lord of the country care too much!"
He remembered the way the lord of the country calmly agreed when he listened to their appeal, and admired Ji Xia even more in his heart.
"The lord of the country is only four years older than me, and he has such a respectable talent and character, and he really deserves to be the lord of Taicang's great prosperity. ”
Jiugong also thought to himself: "With such a monarch, Taicang Daxing is just around the corner!"
