The year before last, Jia Shilang of the Ministry of Industry repaired the temple, covering an area more than ten times larger than this prince's mansion, and the hall was more than two or three floors higher than this house! It's only been a year, and after the repair, the emperor also uses it, and the adults of all ministries also use it. The expenses were only a small amount, and the people had royal wages, and they were all happy. The accounts are also very clear. The ability here, the female official who sent the message didn't know much, and she knew that one thing was, it was a clever way to lay glazed tiles, and she told Tang Taishou:

The annex building of the Tsukaji Hall was also renovated using the old house. The color of the original tile is old and damaged, and it does not match the color of the new tile. Jia Shilang laid a shelf on the original tile surface, and added glazed tiles, which could save the time of removing the old tiles.

After the messenger taught this method to Tang Taishou, Tang Taishou was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the messenger girl. But Tang Jingxuan was also involved in this matter, and after hearing this, he was a little puzzled and asked, "That's it." I also heard that the glazed tile surface is so smooth, how do workers settle down? Yunzhou also sent a message at this time: "If you want to add a tile to the tile, you have to have another bracket to climb, which is a major process, and it is almost the same as withdrawing the tile." ”

The messenger lady was also puzzled, and an old palace maid next to her said that if you want to pave tiles one by one, you must build a climbing frame outside the roof. It's not a good idea. In order to be in a hurry, Jia Shilang led the workers to set up a tile frame on the ground, each row of a row, a dozen tiles, after being fixed properly, the entire shelf was placed on the original tile surface, which can save half of the man-hours than laying a piece. But the tiles laid in this way are not really embedded in the roof rafters, and in fact, they cannot keep out the rain. When the wind and rain come, it is mainly blocked by the original tiles. Glazed tiles only play a decorative role.

It's an amazing idea. So Yunzhou painted the gourd as it was, and copied it for use.

Tang Jingxuan was slightly puzzled: "The regulations allow this?" ”

The female official of the messenger has said to Tang Taishou: "Don't blame me for talking too much. ”

"How can this be blamed on the pawn!" Tang Taishou was surprised.

"Warden" is a female official position in the palace. He is addressed by position, which is a form of respect for him. In fact, there are only seven grades of canonization. The grade is low. Those who serve the emperor's mother should be respected. If you compare the family law, there is an old saying: "A cat and a dog in the old lady's house should also be respected!" ”

Tang Taishou respects the female official who transmits the letter, that is, he respects the royal majesty.

The female messenger thanked him, but reminded him: "Lord Jia's major has carried the booklet of the Ministry of Works, asked for the approval of the imperial pen, and deposited it in the upper study——"

"Oh!" Tang Taishou suddenly realized.

It turned out that although Jia Shilang built it quickly and well, it offended the interests of the Tang family. He is more virtuous than incompetent; He saves money. It's more extravagant than others. So the Tang family, who made a lot of money in palace maintenance. hated Jia Shilang. And the Ministry of Rites raised the bar with the Tang family, claiming that they would record Jia Shilang's maintenance of the Zhuozhi Hall in the annals of history. The big man of the Tang family was angry and let out strange words: I only heard that the important thing in the annals is to record the major events of Anguo and Xingguo. And civil engineering is just a small skill of carving insects. Paying too much attention to the house and money, and even the prelude to the depression of the people's hearts—so let's not say the death of the country—is it the pen of today's historians. Do you like to keep money and wall tiles? Is there nothing more important to remember in this dynasty?

Jia Shilang knows each other very well. I don't want to be drawn into the controversy. So I pushed it hard. The beginning and end of his temple are ultimately only recorded in the chronology of the Ministry of Works, just like other ordinary books. After being approved by the current emperor Cui Heng, it was stored in the upper study as an archive.

Tang Taishou is not qualified to see this file! The female officer can see it. Therefore, a dog in the heavenly house is more valuable than a dragon outside.

Tang Taishou complained a little about the bigwigs in the capital: It's too arrogant! The wind is blowing the rudder. How inappropriate is it to engage with the squire and the historian, so that even a female official has scruples about saying a word?

The female officer was still explaining, hoping that he would not be unhappy when he heard that the idea came from Jia Shilang. She's not from Jia Shilang's faction! She really wanted to do Tang Taishou a favor......

"That's nature! That's nature! Tang Taishou said repeatedly. It's a thank you and a gift. In the end, the atmosphere was more harmonious. The female official sent a big favor to Tang Taishou again: the satin silver to be released to the imperial court this year, in fact, Tang Taishou can support it first.

The so-called satin silver, in fact, Jincheng was originally rich in silk, so there must be a batch of silk tribute over the years. Later, the demand for silk in the palace increased greatly, and the pressure on tribute increased. At that time, the first emperor was very sympathetic to the people's feelings, and felt that it was better to weave silk and satin by the palace maid herself, so he asked Jincheng to send a master to teach. It's a pity that the orange is more than Huai and turns into a citrus. The raw materials are transported into the palace and woven by the palace people, which is always wrong. So the first emperor was also a big deal, simply sent a group of people to Jincheng, just like the "official kiln", and set up a "royal weaving workshop", and made zuò silk in the local area, which was originally intended to be needed by the palace, but later the production capacity was too prosperous, so he also made a batch of civilian supplies to sell, and the silver was paid to the capital.

It is a good thing to be sympathetic to the people's feelings, but Lao Sha, who runs a cloth shop, once said something heaven-shattering: What! After engaging in our machines and recruiting our skilled hands, they sent people to take care of them, and the money for the weaving and selling of the things belonged to them!

Now is merciful and generous, Lao Sha said such a sentence, and was not immediately arrested by Jinyiwei. However, the people of Jincheng were still very loyal, and immediately voted for Lao Sha Baiyan and told him to stop talking.

In short, this example of "satin silver" was formed. Every year, a certain amount of silver taels must be paid to the capital. If the silver taels were insufficient, then the responsibility of the manager of the weaving mill at that time seemed to have nothing to do with the magistrate. But when the manager of the weaving mill was held accountable, he always cried and screamed and dragged some of the none, and often ripped the magistrate into the water.

How can you rip off the water, you ask? How easy it is! What the? The body is not afraid of crooked shadows, and the middle of the night is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door? Alas! Is it simple for you to manage a place? Three hundred and sixty days a year, all kinds of entertainment, there must be something that is not good for the stage. After being bitten out, does it have anything to do with the poor management of the weaving mill? Who cares? In short, this is too guarded and it won't last long!

The reason why Tang Taishou can be long is because he can always ensure that the weaving workshop pays enough satin silver every year. So the boss believes that this place is orderly and the people are peaceful. The magistrate will also be commended, and he will be able to sit down for many years.

Tang Taishou was very surprised and didn't dare to take the satin silver at first glance. He can embezzle and misrepresent other funds, but the money that should be given to the court is not enough, and he always feels that he is ......

It's like a temple blessing, you can remove the pig's head that has been sacrificed to the god and make your own tooth sacrifice, but if you don't put the pig's head on it in the first place? It always seems that something is wrong. (To be continued......)
