Chapter 290: Cement Price
The skating rink is right in front of you, and the finely polished cement paving is flat like a mirror, but it can't reflect people.
The familiar feeling came to my face, the figures of those people in my previous life who crossed and slid back and forth, and the hearty laughter of young men and women, as if they were real and illusory.
"It's a pity that you weren't at home when it froze, and now, you can only play roller skating." Old John was sorry.
"It's good to have fun, wait for Ming'er, let you see what I'm capable of."
Ah Yuan glanced at the venue decoration designed by John with Western characteristics with nostalgia, and waved his hand in awe.
It's important to get down to business, you have to wash and change your clothes, and immediately enter the palace to meet the emperor, what is the big deal about calling yourself back so seriously?
Xiao Awen followed behind Ah Yuan in a regular manner, and stopped talking a few times.
He really wanted to remind him that Ah Yuan shouldn't get along so close to Old John, after a long time, something would happen if he didn't keep it.
The palace is still the same, even Ma Gonggong's smile has not changed, the little emperor has long been down to the court, sitting and reading in the middle study safely, the royal etiquette is cultivated from the bones, consciously or unconsciously.
After seeing it for a while, the little emperor didn't plan to beat around the bush at all: "I am in such a hurry to call my sister back, because the cement produced by the brick kiln factory in the outer city is ......."
In fact, cement has not really opened the market so far, the output is too low, and it is not enough for home use.
"I can tell people that the concrete is very strong, whether it is the ground or the walls. Able to withstand the smashing of stones. But really? ”
The little emperor's expression was extremely serious.
"Uh-huh—big rock's words. It may not be able to stand it, there are still too many impurities now, and it is indeed no problem to smash a few small stones in general. ”
To be honest, Ah Yuan is really not very satisfied with the current cement products, and can only say that they are stronger than simple bricks.
This new product was reported by the emperor's guards, right? yes, how many lifetimes of tradition. As an emperor, you must always keep abreast of the various movements of your subordinates, in case there are unforeseen circumstances.
Ah Yuan looked at the emperor's expression with a little pity, poor baby, he has to be vigilant against himself, a rude peasant county lord with no foundation, how tired?
The little emperor was also a little embarrassed in such a look: "I want to buy my sister's cement method, what is the price?" ”
Fortunately, the emperor was very benevolent and righteous, and he liked a thing, so he considered buying it first.
Ah Yuanle said: "Long live the hurry to call me back." Just for cement? Say it early, take it if you like it. I'm not going to do this business anymore -- long live you want this -- do you want it, do you want to use it militarily? ”
That's right, in this era of national defense, where the walls are lined up and a moat is dug even if it is completed, the tall city walls are still fortresses made of ash and blue bricks, where can they be as strong as cement?
Xiao Awen secretly pulled the corner of his sister-in-law's clothes in the back, but unfortunately, this woman who couldn't hide her words in her stomach asked in a hurry.
The twists and turns in the military, are you a county lord of the opposite sex who can inquire about it?
The little emperor didn't know how to answer for a while, and asked the county lord to hand over the cement production method and brick kiln factory, which was the safest way to deal with it jointly studied by several confidants and ministers, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, Ah Yuan agreed with a smile.
"But let's talk about it first, my county lord's mansion will have to use cement casually in the future, long live do you still need a brick kiln factory? Anyway, you can't burn red bricks there, and if you burn green bricks, it will violate the laws of the country, so you can only burn some cement to make some money. ”
Ah Yuan's eyes blinked, how could the little emperor not pick up the fat in his mouth, and nodded his head: "Sister, just make a price, the brick kiln workshop will be received by the royal family, and I will allocate another 500 acres of fertile land to you." ”
"What price? Give it for nothing! I had known that Banzai needed something for the sergeant's defense, and I would have sent you cement a long time ago. By the way, remember to let the tenants around you continue to live a comfortable life, and follow me for almost half a year, and you have come to show your feelings! Ah Yuan replied very simply, what does it matter if it is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how much dedication there is?
The emperor was very moved, and when Ah Yuan turned into the queen mother's dormitory again, Xiao Ah Wen, who stayed with the emperor, was discussing with several important ministers how to compensate the lord of Furui.
In fact, as soon as the legend of cement came out, the emperor concluded that the county lord would definitely give it away for free, and several ministers did not believe that the county lord's ability to collect wealth was well-known, how could he let go of such a large piece of fat?
"How? The sister I voluntarily recognized was far more open-minded than an ordinary woman. ”
The little emperor was very imposing, and several ministers said yes.
Then another piece of land will be allocated to the county lord, and there is not such a big one around? Just draw a few more pieces, it must be a good field, to be worthy of such a generous heroine!
"In fact, my sister-in-law still has a good place left, long live, the venue where the two-wheeled car race was held last time can be renovated, enough for military drills, my sister-in-law once said that if you add some obstacle walls and prostrate belts to the training of special sergeants who specialize in forwards, it will be a more powerful hero training ground." Little Arwen poured out some of the ideas that had left an impression in his mind.
A military general who once followed Ma Xunhuan to Western Xinjiang for the second time gave a thumbs up: "Long live may not know, last year in Western Xinjiang, the weather suddenly turned cold, before November, the heavy snow fell, the cotton clothes in the army have not been delivered, fortunately thanks to the 20,000 cotton clothes and cotton shoes presented by the county lord, to protect our army from the cold, this is a great righteousness!" ”
The shameful Ma Xunhuan, who was wearing cotton clothes and cotton shoes donated by the county lord to steal fun, didn't even think about reporting for Ah Yuan, otherwise, why couldn't he also reward some gold and silver treasures to fill the huge hole in the county lord's mansion?
Xiao Awen lowered his head, he understood this kind of thought, the eldest brother is always like this, thinking that it is a family, and everything should be done.
"It seems that this righteous sister of mine is no less courageous and intelligent than the good men here!" As soon as the little emperor waved his pen, the commendation and rewards poured in.
In addition to 600 acres of fertile land, a box of gold ingots, a box of silver ingots, and pearl and jade jewelry are the least popular with the county lord, so change to something else, red sandalwood and ebony and other precious wood to the county lord, she likes to toss these good things, maybe, and can make some comfortable and practical different furniture.
After getting the queen mother's advice, next time you must bring three treasures into the palace, Ah Yuan responded to retirement, and outside the dormitory, he met the queen's Fengluan.
This is the first time that the two of them have met in the palace, Ah Yuan bowed his head and bowed, and Bi'er and Hong'er knelt on the ground.
Originally, according to the queen's temperament, she could go her own way and pretend not to see it.
However, Queen Fengluan was still holding a fat boy who couldn't see clearly, and her head tilted on her mother suddenly stood upright, and a happy "ah-ah-ah" sound came out of her mouth.
It was His Excellency the Little Prince who accompanied his mother to see the Queen Mother.
It turned out that I was always afraid that he would be fat and stupid again, but now it seems that he won't, after such a long time, he can still recognize himself, which proves that this kid's IQ is still credible.
Ah Yuan smiled, after becoming a mother, the feeling of seeing children is very different, I don't think they are dirty, and I don't think they make trouble.
However, "My heart pays the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch", the queen mother, who has always been dignified and arrogant, actually straightened the little prince's body hard, and reprimanded without hesitation: "Say hello regardless of fragrance and smell, is there any royal majesty?" ”
Feng Luan didn't stop, and walked straight into the queen mother's bedroom, and in the air, the little prince's cry was intermittent.
The trip to the palace, which was originally very smooth and harmonious, was marked with a very shameful mark.
Ah Yuan shrugged and continued to walk, Lian'er and Hong'er tiptoed up, looking at each other, not knowing if they should comfort the county lord.
"I'm fine, this queen should be suffering from early menopause, fortunately, there is no one in our family who is lucky enough to enter the palace to be a mother, pitiful, the woman in the cage will go crazy sooner or later." Ah Yuan felt the emotions of the two maids, turned around and smiled, and patted the back of Lian'er's hand.
This little Lian'er has just been promoted to be a big girl, she is clever and doesn't have many mouths, but she is a little less courageous, and she has to shiver a few times from time to time.
Hong'er let go of her heart and helped Ah Yuan to get on the chariot, which was actually very much like a sliding pole for climbing a mountain, with two broad-shouldered and round-waisted mothers-in-law carrying them on their shoulders and walking in a swaying way.
"Lian'er, you are in the capital, have you heard about Miss Lu Shangshu's family?" Ah Yuan left the palace and got into his own carriage, and the spirit of gossip returned, but as for the queen's cold reception, he didn't take it to heart at all.
"No, the slave maid is in the house all day, and I haven't seen Miss Lu visit, I heard that she is not in good health and needs to recuperate at home, and she can't even come out on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!" Lian'er has also returned to her nature, and the trembling on her body has long since stopped.
Perhaps, Lu Miaomiao was confined again? There are many rules in this era, and a father can detain his daughter for many years, and he has to be praised by everyone for his "strict family style".
Fortunately, Ah Fu is in a good state, and the love for the landscape is also a way to get rid of it, I can't say it, the two of them can already be regarded as a bridge to the bridge, a road to the road, and there is no intersection in this life.
Living in such an era, it is too luxurious to be able to marry the other half of your heart, either you have a mother who is good at swinging a stick to disperse the mandarin ducks, or you have a father who knows the most about high-pressure policies to imprison her daughter......
It is really rare to be able to be as happy as Bai Lao Er and Green Willow, get together easily, and are still together today.
Ah Yuan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, but she didn't know that in the county lord's mansion, there was an even more sad and angry thing waiting for her. (To be continued......)
