The prince took Mr. Fujin, Tian Liang, and Mr. Chen to the reception room upstairs, and told everyone about the construction of the ice cellar and the greenhouse straightforwardly: "This king bought the materials for building the ice cellar from a foreign land, and prepared to use it to raise seedlings. When they are harvested, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested. The price of greens must be higher than usual, so won't you be able to make a little more? Sir, you have been a magistrate, and you know a little bit about farming, do you think this king's approach is a bit shocking? ”

"Where is it, there is not so strict, the lower officials know that there are many big families in the capital who go to the suburbs to buy early-maturing fresh vegetables, but who has the ability in the environment of the Qing Dynasty? Warm cellar Warm cellar, used to grow vegetables, is not only warm, but also to transmit light, what seedlings do not need sunlight? If the prince can build a greenhouse that can transmit light and keep warm, he can achieve the desired effect.

It's not shocking at all. Of course, the price of this vegetable itself is also high, and ordinary people cannot patronize it. But in the capital, there are still a lot of rich people. They can afford to buy fresh vegetables at a high price. The gentleman said.

Fu Jin said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the concubine knows that the greenhouse you said was brought back from a foreign land, and the food, clothing, and play you brought back are all more exquisite than those of the Qing Dynasty, so the materials of the greenhouse must also be very exquisite." But the concubine also knows that this greenhouse will definitely cost a lot of money, and it will have to be installed in our house, and it must also cost a lot of money. ”

"You don't need a hammer to ring the drum, hehehe......" the prince smiled happily, "There is nothing that this king wants to do without money." The materials for the greenhouse are available, and the foundation must be laid to erect them. It is also necessary to build an underground heating network in accordance with the requirements of the drawings. You need bricks, sand and ash, and so on. In addition to this greenhouse, an ice cellar will also be built. The ice cellar in our house was too small to be used. The purpose of the ice cellar is to store a large amount of ice for refrigeration, and to make ice cream, ice cream, and popsicles in the winter when the temperature is low, and sell them in the summer. Yun'er learned a few kinds of ice fruits from foreign lands to relieve the heat, all of which we don't have in the Qing Dynasty, they are very delicious, and they can definitely be sold for money. It is better to build a large ice cellar, and in the winter to collect ice from the creek and leave a place to store the cold drinks made, otherwise the ice cellar alone will not make much money. The first requirement for building an ice cellar is that there must be no groundwater seeping up, so it must be built of stones, and as far as the king knows, the floor and walls of the ice cellar must be about the same size. This stone can be purchased from the Fangshan Quarry, which is more than 60 miles southwest of the capital. This king will take people to Fangshan tomorrow to place an order, and this afternoon he will calculate how big an ice cellar will be built, and how many stones will be needed. After the order, several exotic rubber ** trucks with a large loading capacity will be installed to go to Fangshan to pull the chiseled stones. This stone also needs money. "It is impossible for the prince to mention the refrigeration equipment, freezers, refrigerators and other things that he bought in a foreign land.

"You and your concubines explain how much silver you need." Fu Jin looked at the prince.

The prince hugged his fists and saluted: "Thank you Fujin for your support." ”

Fu Jin hurriedly stood up and returned the salute to the prince.

The prince said to Mr. again: "We are a group of three people to travel in a foreign land, after a whole year, the clothes on the body, the food in the mouth, and the use on the hands are all maintained by the money exchanged for antiques of Mr. The king is here to express his gratitude to his father-in-law again!" ”

After speaking, he gave Mr. a long bow, and Mr. hurriedly returned the salute: "Even if all the money is from the lower officials, it should be." At that time, Xia Guan just thought that Wang Ye and Yun'er usually don't suffer much, so don't have any crisis because of the shortage of silver after they go out. Since you have spent all the money you exchanged for antiques, it is not in vain that they came to this world for a visit. We are all close relatives, don't say kind words. "The gentleman said very truthful words, and there were very few impassioned words.

"Thank you for your great help, this king will never forget."

"The prince is serious."

When Fu Jin heard this, he was happy and moved. I was touched that Mr. Chen was so high-spirited that he actually donated all the antiques he brought to foreign lands, and he was happy that he could no longer feel heavy about the debt he owed to Mr. every day. At the same time, I also feel that I owe Mr. a great favor. This favor may not be repaid for a lifetime. What you owe to Mr. is equivalent to what you owe to Yun'er, thinking of this, Fu Jin felt a little uncomfortable.

The prince continued: "This king just has such a wish, to share the emperor's worries, and to make some money from doing business and give it to the emperor, even if it is used in the years of famine, and give some porridge and rice to the victims." No matter which dynasty, the initial peace and support of the people are very important, and one more starvation means one more factor of riot. What the common people want most is to live and work in peace and contentment, and even those who are very close to the emperor also hope that the country will be rich and the people will be strong, and their lives will be stable. The king began to step from under his feet and walked out of a princely and merchant's business path. Don't cheat people, don't hurt people, don't deceive people, don't deceive people, and reputation first. ”

"Well said." The gentleman was very impressed.

"In a foreign land, there are many ways to get rich quick, like credit, stocks, real estate, etc. This king feels that it is not suitable for the national conditions of our Qing Dynasty, and only thinks about making money one by one, with the efforts of hundreds of people in the house, like Tang Seng learning scriptures, walking one mile at a time, passing one pass after another. Ladies and gentlemen, we have embarked on a rugged and arduous journey, so let's move forward one footprint at a time. ”

After the meeting ended, the prince took Tian Liang to Nanwaifu to choose the specific address of the ice cellar and the greenhouse, and instructed the little eunuch Xiaofuzi who followed not far away: "You go and find Mr. Bai." ”

Xiaofuzi snorted and hurried to Mr. Bai's house to invite. This Mr. Bai is the prince's doorman, also called Qingke, and he is the person who gives advice to the master. Jia Zheng in "Dream of Red Mansions" has several such Qing guests around him, like Shan Pingren, and a person surnamed Zhan. When he doesn't make plans, he often follows the master and chats with the master to relieve boredom. The effect can be large or small. Like the Mr. Wu beside him before Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he couldn't be a guest, he was a strategist who helped his master plan military affairs, just like when Tang Taizong was the king of Qin before he ascended the throne, the strategist Xu Maogong beside him. The prince does not participate in politics, and he is not willing to call for him, so this Mr. Bai is almost equal to a piece of idle bacon. Although it doesn't play a big role, he is still very loyal to the prince. After the prince left the house, there was no news, and Mr. Huang, who was also a Qingke, couldn't sit still, and always felt that it was abnormal for the prince to have no news, and it was likely that he went out to recruit troops. The result of the prince's rebellion may be successful, but how much benefit does it have to succeed? If it fails, it will be the extermination of the whole family, and he will be the one who was unjustly killed. So when the prince was gone for half a year, he left the palace under the pretext of "Ding Wei" and went to find another high. Mr. Bai never thought that the prince would rebel, but he still lived a leisurely life of eating and drinking, reading books, tasting tea, playing chess, and visiting the garden every day. If you hadn't visited the garden, you wouldn't have been able to conflict with that peak. Don't look at him without office and power, so he is not afraid of that peak. Just don't go back to King An's mansion. With his ability, he can eat enough anywhere.

This Mr. Bai's ability is to read feng shui, and he is already famous. I am often invited to see the feng shui of building buildings and land, and it is said that the effect is not bad, and naturally there is a lot of extra income. The people of that era believed in this very much, and they had to find Mr. Feng Shui to build a house and build a pavilion in the garden, so it would be incomprehensible if they didn't find someone to look at Feng Shui when they built two large buildings in the house. The prince basically doesn't understand the things of feng shui, because looking at feng shui is a Taoist thing.

However, he doesn't want to be too different, since everyone is looking for a feng shui master, there is such a ready-made feng shui master in his house, so use him. In fact, the prince still has other plans for Mr. Bai: This Mr. Bai was recommended by Prince An, and he has a good character, so he quit him because he had nothing to do, but he was indeed too idle. If Ma Jiaming is really greedy for the money in the house, he will definitely have to roll up the cover, and it is not very reliable to enter newcomers from the outside. This Mr. Bai is a very well-behaved person, and he is qualified to be a bookkeeper, which is more real than the identity of Qingke. I just want to think about him.

Mr. Bai thought that the matter of him beating that peak was known to the prince, and looking for him was to let him roll up. The roll is rolled, and Mr. Bai doesn't care at all.

Mr. Bai hurriedly followed the little eunuch to see the prince, and after asking for peace, the prince briefly told him about the situation, and Mr. Bai was relieved, and the prince began to check the terrain of Nanwai Mansion after the order.

"Lord Wang, the building you dig down should be far away from the place where you live. The jargon is called 'ground nails', and if it is too close to the house where it lives, people will not be able to live. Looking at the topography of the house, the west is high and the east is low, the north is high and the south is low, which is good feng shui. The ice cellar should be located in the southeast corner. The greenhouse should be in the northwest of Nanwaifu near the big wall, and the greenhouse will not be very deep even if it is dug down, and there are no trees in the northwest corner, so it will not shade the light."

"It makes sense, so I will build an ice cellar and a greenhouse according to the address chosen by Mr. Bai."

"Thank you for your kindness."

"Mr. Bai, if this king wants to do business in the future, I hope to get Mr.'s help and participation."

Mr. Bai didn't believe his ears anymore. The prince wants to do business, and it has been spread all over the house, and the general manager has been excluded from doing business, and the prince actually let himself participate, what a lot of trust! Hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt down to kowtow to the prince and said, "Thank you for the prince's trust!" ”

"You're welcome, sir, this king may come to you at any time."

"Bai Qi is at the disposal of the prince!"

This feng shui gentleman is not just a white-clothed showman, not only knows feng shui, but also has studied "Zhou Yi", "Bagua", and can read the stars. The knowledge of the three teachings and the nine streams is very deep. But he is also very low-key and never shows it in front of people. But it's not a person who doesn't have any fire at all, and after beating the head manager, I also feel a little impulsive, but I don't regret it much. The manager has not moved until now, probably for fear of losing face. Mr. Bai is not a scoundrel, but he doesn't like to see that peak. He was given to the prince by Prince An, and the prince would definitely not dispose of himself casually. Bai Qi is very idle in the house, which means that Prince Rui does not attach much importance to himself, but he does not regret coming to King Rui's mansion, because Lord Rui's character is very good! There are no such messy things in the house, and there is no need to worry about being implicated every day, and you are very comfortable here.

He knew that the Steward would not tell him about his beating. But I also know that this master in charge is a person who must be revenged, and he should leave a way back to see the situation, if he really can't get along here, he has to find a way out for himself to be found.

After the retreat, the prince took Tian Liang, Nalan, Mangge, and **, the four personal guards, with him, and began to prepare materials for the greenhouse and ice cellar. The aluminum alloy frame can be used to build a greenhouse, but it is not enough to have a frame alone, as well as laying an underground heating network, and there must be infrastructure to place the frame. The four walls of the ice cellar are to be built with stones, and it is not possible to dig a pit and cover it. Preparation is a lot and cumbersome.

"Nalan, you go to find the pro-soldier pipe belt Suoqing, Liangzi, you take a few people to find the aluminum alloy frame we brought back, as well as red bricks, cement and other related building materials, see where they are placed, and then start assembling exotic tire cars, using this kind of car to pull stones, the loading capacity is much larger than our big wheels and small carriages in the Qing Dynasty. However, we don't have this kind of car in Daqing, so you have to design it. ”

"Huh! Subordinates obeyed. ”

Tian Liang clearly remembered that in the gift box given to him by the prince, there was a set of high-end drawing instruments and related drawing tools given by Master Yun, such as drawing tablets, triangular rulers, T-rulers, drawing pencils, and so on. Tong Guò Yu'er asked Yun'er for drawing paper and tried it at home. He was a typical martial arts practitioner who had never fiddled with these things. However, he must also use and familiarize himself with these things. Nalan, who lived in the opposite room from him, looked at Tian Liang and Tian Liang's "family affairs" like a monster.

"You kid, you can make such things draw straight and straight."

Tian Liang almost laughed: "You can still draw curves with a ruler, that's a skill." ”

However, Shui'er knew that these things must be very valuable, and she couldn't move them, so she pulled her husband back to her room: "Don't make a mess for Brother Tian, okay?" The things he used were all quite expensive, and he brought them back from afar, and you might not be able to afford to pay for them. If you let you pay, you are inadvertent, and if you don't let Brother Tian lose, you will have to suffer a loss. ”

"What my daughter-in-law said is, am I not curious? We hillbillies haven't seen it at all, and it seems that Ryoko has learned some real skills. ”

Tian Liang was really embarrassed to say that he wouldn't let Nalan touch his things, but fortunately, Nalan was very obedient to Shui'er, and Shui'er didn't let him make trouble, so he wouldn't go to Tian Liang.

But Rui'er is a child, and the child's curiosity is very heavy, and she wants to touch her father's "good things", but she is afraid that her father will be angry. Seeing that Daddy was so busy that he didn't even raise his head, he left obediently.

Tian Liang knew his daughter's careful thoughts, hugged her to the table, let her touch it, and told her: "These are all drawing instruments, they can't be taken or used indiscriminately, they are very squeamish and very important, and if they are broken, they will never be able to be bought again." When you grow up, your father will teach you how to use it. ”

"Knowing Daddy, Rui'er won't take it indiscriminately."

As for drawing, Tian Liang only hastily read it from the "Basic Knowledge of Drawing" he bought, and he had some impressions. A few days ago, when I was looking for a book with the prince, this book was found in the book information box of Master Yun, and it was already in my hand. Learn as you watch. The prince had already let him go home to study, and gave him a solid wood desk and swivel chair.

Rui'er also brought Xuan'er over to "enjoy" the swivel chair together, and she was dizzy.

Drawing drawings has a bit of a high-end taste. In fact, it is not something that cannot be attained, but it is necessary to master the basic regulations of drawing, the use of drawing tools and instruments, the drawing method of geometric figures, the drawing method of plane graphics and the marking of dimensions, drawing methods and steps. If you divide it in more detail, there are also the size of the paper panel, the title block, the type and proportion of the drawing line, the type of writing of Chinese characters, numbers, letters, and the name of the marking code, etc. Tian Liang's desk and drawing equipment were directly moved to his residence by Yun'er by means of air transportation, and the books were held by someone, so Yu'er thought that her husband ordered someone to move them up when she was away, and she didn't care. It was a pride to see her husband using things she had never seen before. These things are not used by people who practice martial arts, which proves that the husband has grown his skills from outside.
