"Grandfather. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Han Qing entered Xiaoyaoxuan and saw Xie Heng sitting cross-legged on the soft collapse by the window, holding a purple clay pot to make tea.

"This bouquet is blooming well, you can go find two good bottles." Xie Heng looked at his little granddaughter's appearance of being more delicate than Huajiao, smiled and narrowed his eyes, and said in his heart that teaching his granddaughter is happier than teaching his grandson, and he wanted to enlighten his two grandsons in Beijing at the beginning, not to mention how angry he would be in a day.

He didn't want to think about it, he himself was strict with his grandson, and he didn't smile all day long, which child was not afraid of him. It's all on the grandchildren.

Han Qing pursed her lips and smiled, saying "yes" in her mouth, turned around to look for Bahrain at the door, and the two of them went to the library to pick out bottles. When Han Qing chose a white glazed ice cracked jade pot and inserted begonias in a spring bottle, he chose an eggplant purple glazed willow leaf bottle and inserted osmanthus branches, which were held by Bahrain and then returned.

Just as he was about to enter the door, he saw Taylor carrying a bag of hemp into the yard. "Uncle Tailai, what good things have you brought with you?"

Seeing that it was Han Qing, Tai Lai smiled and saluted, and then raised the burlap bag in his hand, "Doesn't the third girl like the fruits and plants that come from the southwest coast, the people we sent out contacted a merchant ship from the West and bought a bag of tree seeds, saying that they are not produced here." ”

A few people entered Xiaoyaoxuan as they spoke.

"What's that?" It turned out that Jinghe Emperor Chuxu was also in Xiaoyaoxuan just now, but he went upstairs to look for books, and at this time, he happened to come down from upstairs, saw the hemp bag in Tailai's hand, and asked curiously.

Han Qing and the others saluted the emperor, and walked to the soft place where Xie Heng was sitting, Han Qing beckoned Bahrain to put the begonias on the tea table, and put the cinnamon branches by the window farther away.

When he turned around, he saw that Tai Lai had already opened the mouth of the sack, took out a cloth bag from it, and then opened the cloth bag, and took out some textured seeds, Han Qing had never seen such seeds. So I walked over and took a closer look.

"The blue-eyed Western merchants said that this tree was found from other continents, and it seems that it is not edible at present, and the wood is not valuable, but the local people call it a weeping tree, and it is said that when the bark is cut, a milky white liquid flows out."

Tai Lai said, and took out a very tightly sealed jar from the sack, and opened the lid to contain a light-tasting milky white liquid, "This is the liquid taken from the tree, and the merchant also looked strange, so he brought some, but no one in his own country took a fancy to it, and he didn't expect it to be accepted by our people." ”

Then he took out a black ball from the sack, and when Han Qing saw it, it was rubber!

"This ball is made out of this liquid, and it's not very useful, but it's interesting." Tai Lai gave the black ball to Han Qing, whose eyes were burning and shining.

Han Qing pinched it, this rubber ball is very elastic, "Although this tree can't be eaten, this liquid has some economic value." ”

Chu Xu looked at her snow-white little hand pinching the black ball, and asked curiously, "How could A-Qing think that this liquid is valuable?" ”

"Your Majesty, if you pinch this black ball, is it quite elastic."

Chu Xu took the ball in his hand and pinched it, "It's indeed elastic, but this black ball is neither edible nor beautiful, who will buy it." ”

Han Qing said again, "Ah Qing pinched it hard just now, and this black ball instantly returned to its original shape, which means that it is very elastic." And it's not soft to the touch, and it's very wear-resistant. Didn't we make cement in Jiangnan, if we use cement to pave the official road, and then inlay this black colloid on the wheel, I think our transportation speed will be greatly improved. ”

Chu Xu couldn't help but be shocked, as the ruler of the empire, he naturally knew how much benefit would be brought by increasing the speed of transportation, and the circulation of goods in the north and south would be accelerated, but it could greatly revitalize the economy of the whole country, even in terms of transporting military supplies, this value should not be underestimated.

"Teacher, Ah Qing is really talented!" Chu Xu excitedly praised Xie Heng.

Xie Heng was also very happy after listening to Han Qing's words, so he replied proudly, "Don't look at my family, Ah Qing is young, but she can draw inferences from problems, her conjecture is very promising." ”

"If this thing is done, it is likely to be like cement, and it will change people's livelihood." Chu Xu nodded.

"The emperor said very well, at present, we still have to find someone to get more of this raw material, and then develop some to see if it is feasible."

"This matter is still left to the senior brother to do, his batch of craftsmen who develop cement, I think they are very powerful, and they can be regarded as having some experience. I thought that in the future, a separate department could be set up under the Ministry of Industry to develop these new things, and these craftsmen could also have a serious official status and be able to better serve the imperial court. ”

"The emperor is wise, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it can benefit future generations. However, when it comes to cement mills, its output is a little difficult to supply the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to repair embankments, and if the official road is repaired, I am afraid it will have to be increased on a large scale. Xie Heng said.

"Senior brother uses the prisoners of Jiangsu Prison to work, there is no problem with manpower, I can make a decision to follow the rules of Jiangsu Province in all provinces of the country, in addition to convenient transportation, but also to start work at the same time."

Han Qing couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, the feudal monarch is awesome, otherwise how could people build the Great Wall. She thought about it, although she had promoted the development of industrialization, but if the ancients didn't understand anything and wreaked havoc on the environment, she would not become a sinner for the ages.

"Ah Qing has learned several idioms before, called solid ze and fish, burning forest and hunting, killing chickens and eggs, although they all have their extended meanings, but they also show that we can't just focus on the present, and the environment can not be sustained. Nowadays, if we open cement mills and tire mills on a large scale, and we can't protect the environment well, won't we destroy the good green mountains, green waters, and fertile fields? ”

"Ah Qing is right, Cheng Jue also found that when calcining limestone and other raw materials, the smoke and waste produced have the problem of polluting rivers and fields. Cheng Jue is Xie Zhan's character.

In this case, the matter should not be rushed. Anyway, I don't know if the gum tree can be planted yet, and I am afraid that there is no spectrum for the introduction of raw materials at sea, so I will recruit people who understand soil and water conservation and steel smelting when I return to Beijing to design a complete implementation plan. ”

Xie Heng nodded and said, "The old man has also studied these small things, and is willing to write some suggestions for everyone's reference." ”

Han Qing also nodded on the side and said, "A-Qing is also willing to contribute her own opinions, but I'm afraid that I am a small person and no one will refer to it." "After that, he pouted and sold a cute.

Chu Xu really liked Han Qing, and when he saw her Yuxue's cute appearance, he couldn't help but hug her, "Oh, our A-Qing is so smart, who dares not to take your opinion seriously, I will ask someone to spank his ass." ”

Han Qing was coaxed into a daze, and he came into contact with Emperor Jinghe for several days, and was really attracted by his gentle and gentle personality, the emperor of a country, who else can be so approachable? So I felt that it was the right choice to use space specialties to treat him.

"With the emperor's words, Aqing has no regrets." Everyone looked at her child and said adult words, and they couldn't laugh. I only heard Han Qing say again, "A-Qing's suggestion is only for the emperor and grandfather, okay?" ”

Chu Xu and Xie Heng didn't say anything good.

"What do you only say to my father and my ancestors?" Chu Yuan came in from outside, Xie Yi and Xie Yan were both students who had classes in Hangzhou Academy, but Xie Yan deliberately went to the academy later these days in order to pat Chu Yuan's sycophants. In the past few days, Chu Yuan has also been with Chu Xu, and he has come to Xiaoyaoxuan when he has nothing to do.

"This is our grandfather's secret, and I can't tell you." Chu Xu teased his son, and squeezed his eyes at Han Qing. Han Qing also covered her mouth with a smile, expressing her determination to keep it secret.

Who is Chu Yuan, he simply didn't enter the circle, what he wanted to know, he always had to know through other channels, so he didn't answer the conversation, only changed the topic and asked Tailai, "What is this?" ”

Tai admitted that he was unlucky, and said that the prince had a delicate heart, and everyone in the house was talking around this sack, so naturally he could find the key by asking him the origin of this thing. Tai Lai didn't dare to hide it, so he only repeated the origin of this thing and the previous words, and in the end he still didn't say what secrets the three emperors wanted to keep.

After hearing this, Chu Yuan also said with great interest, "Now the official road is really not easy to drive, not to mention the bumpy and difficult to walk, and it is dusty, if the speed of the car is accelerated, the trade between the north and the south does not know how much tax revenue can be brought to the treasury, and when the time comes, I will be the first to give Ah Qing a big red envelope." ”

Han Qing was puzzled, "Why wait until the speed of transportation is raised, the imperial court can make a profit, if the state-owned workshop can produce cement in large quantities, can't the excess be bought for private construction use, and this will not immediately generate benefits?" And in the future, if this kind of rubber tire is developed, it can be sold at a good price. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, no one had ever thought of using the workshop opened by the imperial court to make profits, isn't this competing with the people for profit? Chu Yuan said with a smile: "If the imperial court competes with the people for profit, it is not good to say." ”

Only then did Han Qing understand that there was still such considerations. So he thought for a while and said, "If there is no compulsory supervision of this kind of workshop that is related to people's livelihood and polluting, how can we ensure that those businessmen are not profit-seeking and do not wantonly mine and destroy?" But if it can't be popularized among the people, what's the point of making these things? When the people want to buy it, but there is nowhere to buy it, what will they do? ”

Han Qing's few questions caused everyone to fall into deep thought.
