120. Cement
On August 16, Shu Yierha's second sister-in-law, Hu Tuli, gave birth to a daughter, and Shu Yi Erha naturally gave a gift when he washed the third day, and the family was happy to add Ding to the family, but Hu Tuli secretly worried, without him, this daughter is a little ...... Unsatisfactory, not to mention compared with Jinghe, Jinghe has good genes, Niu Hulu is a great beauty, Jinggu Le is also handsome, as soon as the child is born, everyone says that he looks good, and now Jinghe is almost three years old, who doesn't boast when he sees it, they all say that he is like a little fairy child in front of the Bodhisattva.
Huturis never thought that his daughter would be better looking than Jinghe, but growing up like this still challenges her ability to bear it. It's not that the little baby has any special looks, the main thing is that she can't grow, from the face to the eyebrows, like Jing Guji, of course, Jing Guji is very good, sunny and handsome, his face, let it out, is definitely a man, but the problem is, the daughter has such a face, how awkward to look!
Huturi is very worried that the little daughter will grow up to be too boyish, looking at Jing Guji, who only knows silly music, and doesn't know what to say, her grandmother knows her heart, but the old lady is blind, in her eyes, her own girl is good anywhere, and the girl's daughter is even more so, she is very happy to tell the Hutuli family, Xiao Gege will definitely look good when he grows up.
Huturi did not say a word about the blindness of the grandmother, and was still worried in her heart, until the little daughter was full moon, and the family praised her for her good looks, and the old lady still hugged her and said that she looked like herself, she looked at the old lady's kind eyes, and did not see the manliness at all, and finally let go of the worries in her heart a little.
Erhe now names his grandchildren, and he doesn't have to flip through books anymore. Last time, he chose a dozen good names at once, and he still divided men and women well, and this time they were in order. chose a "Ninghe" name for the second granddaughter.
Jinhe lived in the Begonia Courtyard, and muttered to Shu Yierha and Hongxuan about the family, why did his mother complain that his sister looked like Amara, what Tamafa knew that he had an extra granddaughter, and happily pulled off a few beards, and his sister didn't know anything, and lay down and slept all day. Never paid attention to him, he was very sad, this kid was just a little chatter. There's always something to say.
This time, Jinhe only stayed for three or four days and then made a fuss about going back, saying that he missed his sister, and when he left, Hongxuan asked Shu Yierha. Why doesn't he have a sister. Shu Yierha had no choice but to tell him that his sister would have it in a few years, but he would not have a sister until he was as old as Jin and his cousin, and Hongxuan couldn't hear her shirk, so he looked forward to growing up from then on.
In September, Yinzhen's people finally calcined the usable cement, and they themselves tried it according to the method explained by Yinzhen. felt that the cement made was not much different from what Yinzhen described, although they tried it. There is not much cement left, but this thing, as long as there is a specific formula, it is much easier to mass produce, they hurried up to get some more, and sent a piece to Yinzhen, Yinzhen also got a small piece outside the study for an interview, and when the cement was dry, it was really hard and abnormal, he put his mind at ease, and brought the remaining raw materials into the palace to find the emperor to show his merits.
Of course, the emperor also wants to be real, seeing that the effect of the cement product is similar to the one described above, his heart is also itchy, you know, since he ascended the throne, floods have always occurred in various places, the river embankment is almost every year to repair the problem, not to mention the manpower, material and financial resources consumed, the key is that every year during the flood season, there is always a burst of embankment, and most of the people along the major rivers are not living, which is really not a good thing for an emperor who pursues face and fame, and with this cement, if you can build a river embankment ten times stronger, will you be able to solve this problem?
The first thing the emperor thought of was this problem, but how to implement it still needs to be carefully planned and considered, and there are many particulars about who will be arranged to do this, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while and decided to wait and see for the time being.
Because of the appearance of cowpox, the emperor's reputation among the people is extremely prosperous, almost ten thousand Buddhas, if it is not limited by the emperor's identity, it is estimated that there are a lot of people who build temples and plastic gold bodies for him, he is happy in his heart, he wants to go out and go around, listen to the real voice of the people, on the way to the west, there are two times secretly thrown away from the army, he disguised himself to a private visit, and really let him hear a lot of praise for his voice, this is the time when the emperor's self-confidence is inflated, he is very willing to add some merit to himself.
Of course, because Fang Zi was presented by the prince and Yinzhen, the cowpox thing was done by the prince, and he also shared a lot of good reputation, obviously there was nothing to do with Yinzhen, but secretly the emperor appreciated him very much, and there were several fathers and sons of the Fucha family, Erhe had just been promoted to a level, and it was not good to move again for the time being, but Jing Gule entered the Ministry of Industry, although it was a flat transfer, and the Ministry of Industry was not a popular yamen, but it was always better than Taichang Temple, and Jing Guji was promoted two levels in a row and became a second-class guard.
Jing Gule entered the Ministry of Industry, this is also the emperor's decision after weighing, he thought, since cowpox can work, cement is estimated to be possible, when the time comes, it is an errand of the Ministry of Industry to use cement to repair roads and embankments, and transferring Jing Gule to the Ministry of Industry can make him make some contributions on this, and it will be convenient for promotion in the future, I have to say that the emperor still takes good care of the center and his people.
Kangxi forty-five years unconsciously arrived, out of the first month, the emperor took the crown prince, the king of Zhijun, the four beylers, the nine princes and the thirteen princes to Gyeonggi to inspect, mainly to inspect the Yongding River, the emperor has decided to build a section of the embankment on the Yongding River with cement to try to see the effect, the Yongding River is also a river that is prone to large floods, and the embankment is also very easy to collapse, if it is effective on the Yongding River, he can arrange large-scale use.
Arrived near the Yongding River, the emperor assigned the task to Yinzhen, and he took his sons to go elsewhere, the king of Zhijun did not know the inside story, and thought that Yinzhen provoked the emperor, so the emperor left him halfway, sneered in front of Yinzhen, the nine princes showed disdain, the thirteenth prince was young and vigorous, and ran to the emperor to ask for a decree, saying that he was willing to stay with his fourth brother, in fact, the emperor was clear about their brothers, he originally felt that it was not appropriate for the fourth to do it alone, and he was allowed to do it on the thirteenth day.
The emperor's political skills are very clever, the emperor's mind is everywhere, not only the courtiers, but even the sons, he uses a checks and balances, he will not let which one is particularly good, he will not favor which one, and even the prince is powerful, he will support an eldest son to come out to fight against him, from his point of view, probably for the sake of the throne stability, it is understandable, but from the perspective of his sons, he is equivalent to giving everyone hope, and he can't complain that the princes want to fight.
