Chapter 221: Ningxin County Mausoleum (2)
Chen Mingxing not only gave out the money, but he also took the initiative to ask to be responsible for all financial expenditures. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Mingyu was very happy to see that the second child was willing to help, after all, it was the first time he had done such a thing, and the second child was a real businessman.
He simply handed over all the financial matters to Chen Mingxing, and even handed over the purchase of materials to Chen Mingxing.
How much silver Dong Ruyi has, no one knows better than Chen Mingxing.
Mu Zhai he participated, Tang Ji he participated, and even Ru Ji also participated.
Chen Mingxing never thought of saving money for Dong Ruyi.
The first batch of craftsmen in Jiangning Mansion arrived, and the leader of the team was an old craftsman surnamed Hu.
They built some temporary straw huts in the cemetery, but fortunately, the weather was already warm, and they lived comfortably in this way.
The official document of the Ministry of Works also came down, and the official document also attached a paper hot sample of the tomb.
When the Hu craftsmen led by Jiangning Mansion saw it, they couldn't help sweating on their foreheads, where is this building the tomb of the county lord who is being posthumously sealed, this is going to catch up with the prince's county lord tomb.
Chen Mingxing didn't know much about the rules in the palace, and the few craftsmen in front of him didn't look pale and asked directly: "Is there anything wrong with this county lord's tomb?"
Hu Jiangdao: "There is no problem, but if this is completed, I am afraid it will take three or five years." ”
When Chen Mingyu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do? Didn't you say that the imperial decree was already on the way? The prefect had said that it would be completed before the decree came." ”
When the craftsman heard this, his back immediately sweated, his hands trembled like a sieve, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his face.
The others were also frightened, they were the lowest craftsmen, and although they had their craft, they had a very low status.
Especially the royal work is not easy to do, they can't be fooled, and all places must be strictly controlled. Once there is a problem, whether it is five years or ten years, it will be investigated.
If you don't get it right, the whole family will lose their heads.
Originally, they thought that this time the work was easy to do, after all, it was just a county lord who was posthumously sealed.
Even if it is a third grade, but it is only 50,000 taels of silver, it is a hot sample from the Ministry of Industry, which will not be too outrageous.
Hu Jiangren is going to die old after this time, and as soon as this work is continued, I am afraid that even a small life will be put into it.
If you can't complete it when it expires, it's light to lose your life, for fear of affecting your son and grandson.
Chen Mingxing looked at everyone's expressions and hurriedly asked, "What is the problem? What are you talking about? What problems can we discuss? If there are not enough people, why don't we invite more people?"
What he is most afraid of is that the emperor says that he will not be investigated, but in fact, he still has to find fault and investigate.
Hu Jiangren looked at Chen Mingxing, and he asked tentatively: "What the second master said is, I just dare to ask the second master, how much silver do you plan to invest in the construction of the main tomb of Ningxin County this time?"
In fact, he also knew that this was nonsense, and the official documents were out, and it was written in black and white that it was 50,000 taels of silver, but 50,000 taels of silver was just like this, and it was a fart.
Chen Mingxing said: "You don't have to worry about the silver, you always tell me, how many people do you want to add?"
Hu Jiangdao: "This is not something that can be solved by adding manpower. ”
Chen Mingxing said anxiously: "Isn't it impossible to finish it?
Chen Mingyu hurriedly pulled Chen Mingxing and said, "Don't worry, everyone, what's the problem?"
Hu Jiangren sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the two masters didn't understand what the old man meant, look here, are there still here?"
Chen Mingxing and Chen Mingyu looked at the place where the craftsman pointed and nodded together.
The craftsman pointed to a few places where white was painted and explained: "The color painted here represents white marble, although this is just an embellishment, and it doesn't need to be replaced all of them, but just these places and these places will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver." And here, this layer of gold is going to be paved with golden sand. The hot sample issued by the Ministry of Industry is the configuration of the prince's Zhengsanpin county lord, and the 50,000 taels of silver issued by the imperial court are barely enough to do these two things. ”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.
Chen Mingxing and Chen Mingyu glanced at each other, and it was obvious that what the emperor was doing now was the same as Dong Ruyi had speculated, which was obviously asking them to pay for money.
Dong Ruyi heard that the craftsman from Jiangning Mansion had arrived today, so she came over directly to take a look, and when she walked to the door of the temporary thatched house, she heard Chen Mingxing's loud voice inside.
The people guarding this gate are all brought by Chen Mingyu and Chen Mingxing.
Dong Ruyi waved his hand to signal, they didn't need to report, and he walked in.
Dong Ruyi listened to Hu Jiangren's words and said directly: "Then if it's five million taels, is it enough?"
A crisp sound resounded in the hut.
Everyone looked towards the doorway.
The craftsmen led by the group saw the children who appeared at the door, and they were all stunned, five million taels, this child actually said that five million taels is not enough, whose child is this, this is too ...
Chen Mingxing got up and said, "Why are you here?"
Dong Ruyi replied with a smile: "I heard that the craftsmen have arrived, so I thought about coming over and having a look." ”
Hu Jiangren looked at Chen Mingyu and said, "Who is this little boy?"
Chen Mingyu was a little embarrassed, which made him how to introduce.
Dong Ruyi opened his mouth and said, "I am the granddaughter of Lord Ningxin, Dong Ruyi. ”
All the craftsmen were shocked, and one of them exclaimed, "You are the female master of the Yuan?"
The craftsman hurriedly turned his head and glared at the man, who hurriedly lowered his head. Then he was afraid, not to mention Master Xie Yuan, even an ordinary person was nobler than them.
Dong Ruyi snorted and laughed, "Yes, I am the female master Xie Yuan." ”
Hu Jiangren glanced at Chen Mingyu and Chen Mingxing, and saw that they were not unhappy, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Ruyi said: "Fifty thousand taels of silver is not enough, but five million taels is enough?"
Hu Jiangren looked at Chen Mingxing, he wasn't sure if what Dong Ruyi said counted, no matter how powerful it was outside, it still seemed to be a child.
Chen Mingxing said: "Even if she says it, I will add a million taels of materials and other things when I go back." ”
Hu Jiangren was obviously a little excited, he looked down at the hot sample again, he opened the whole place of the hot sample, looked at it carefully, and said: "Enough is enough, but it will be completed in four months, and I am afraid that it will be several times more in terms of manpower." ”
Chen Mingxing said: "I'll look for this." ”
In this way, the construction of the main tomb of Ningxin County began.
Chen Mingxing watched them start digging and chiseling, and he walked aisle to the craftsman and said, "I found a big piece of white marble that you mentioned earlier, I want to ask, can you replace it all?"
Hu Jiangren took two steps back in fright, and then knelt down with a plop and said, "Second Master Chen, you can spare the villain." ”
