Because of the limitations of vision and pattern, people of every era will inevitably be limited by the times when looking at things.

This point is vividly reflected in the selection of the craftsman's site given by the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, several sites have almost a few things in common, that is, they are relatively close to the location where the raw materials and fuels are located, which is convenient to obtain materials, and the distance from Chang'an or official roads is relatively close, which is convenient for transportation......

Beyond that, there isn't much left to think about.

The three locations of Xigang, Beishan and Qingliang given by the Ministry of Industry are basically based on these considerations.

Originally, Wei Ming also planned to choose one of the three locations, but after a few days of field research and climbing the Wind Pan Valley, his mind immediately changed.

"Waiter, you want to build the official kiln here?"

Seeing Wei Ming's thoughts, whether it was Pei Mi or Wang Zhong, they were all puzzled.

After all, in their opinion, although Fengpan Valley also has the resources of Guanyin soil, and the surrounding mountains are also convenient for firing wood, but the crux of the problem is that this side is too far away from the official road and Chang'an!

And the biggest problem is that although there is also a Qingjiang River here, the vicinity of Fengpan Valley is already considered the source location.

In other words, except for the wet season, it is not even convenient to use water in ordinary times!

Making porcelain is the same as firing pottery, whether it is washing soil or ripe embryos, it is inseparable from water......

Thinking of this, the group of people couldn't help but look away, not wanting Wei Ming to see that he and the others couldn't help but start to doubt the expression of his eyes.

Wei Ming casually threw away a few falling rocks that he picked up when he went up the mountain, and pointed to the valley of Fengpan Valley and said with a smile: "The distant mountains are circling, but Fengpan Valley is extremely low-lying, what does it look like here?" ”

"It's like a wooden basin for water!"

Wang Zhong took a step forward and looked at the mountains that stretched to the direction of Tao Village below: "It's a pity that this basin is missing a corner and can't hold water, otherwise if there is such a big wooden basin here, it can store water in the wet season, and the 10,000 acres of barren mountains below will definitely be able to become fertile overnight!" ”

"Did you hear that?"

Wei Ming looked at Pei Mi and the others angrily: "I didn't expect that among us people, Wang Huochang is the most discerning, and it makes a certain family a little reluctant to kill you!" ”

"Prison Waiting for a ...... of Honor"

Wang Zhong hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and then said in shock: "Wait, what did you just say......

It's just that before his words fell, there was a huge force coming from beside him!

However, Wan An and several other soldiers who had been prepared launched in unison, and in a shoulder collision, Wang Zhong, who was unstable on his feet, fell straight down from the mountain, and let out bursts of miserable screams in mid-air......

Halfway down the road, Big Tiger and a teenager were standing on the side of the road.

This young man is naturally Wang Maoshan.

"Brother Tiger, what's wrong?"

As soon as he saw Wei Ming and the others coming back with sad expressions, Dahu, who was in a worried mood, hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Wei Ming ignored the big tiger, and just said in a low voice as he walked past Wang Maoshan: "Just take a look, let the queen forget about this!" ”

"This bastard, he's too bold!"

That night, when he heard the news that Wang Zhong was dead, Li Heng stomped his feet in hatred in the study, and said in his heart that such a small role as this, when will it be cleaned up?

It has to be chosen at this juncture!

"Ayeyoan, maybe things aren't what we thought they were!"

Li Jiao said: "I heard that it was the prison waiting for a mistake, and Wang Zhong was the savior, so he fell off the cliff - everything is an accident!" ”

"Accidents? Hahaha! ”

Li Heng laughed wildly: "Do you believe it? ”

"That's what everybody says anyway!"

Li Jiao said: "Now that guy is kneeling in front of Wang Zhong's mourning hall wearing linen and wearing filial piety, not only said that he wants to do filial piety on behalf of Wang Zhong, but also has connected to the official document to ask Wang Zhong to express his loyalty and courage archway......"

“……”

Hearing this, Li Heng's angry face finally looked a little better, and he snorted: "That is, the Prime Minister's Mansion is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, otherwise no matter how he whitewashes it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape responsibility!" ”

"Indeed, if this is not the case, I am afraid that Chang'an Mansion has already taken action, where will it be like today, there is no movement!"

Li Jiao nodded and said, "Now that no one is paying attention, is it okay for us to be a favor here?" As long as they get benefits, I believe that even if the Wang family has doubts, they will definitely not be willing to tear their faces with the prince's mansion for the sake of a dead man......"

Li Heng frowned when he heard this, looked at Li Jiao and said, "Even if this son is really talented, I believe it won't make you so aggressive, why?" ”

Li Jiao didn't speak, but just took out a map and a slightly moistened stone.

"When did even you develop such a problem of wanting to speak and stopping?"

Li Heng said dissatisfiedly: "You and I, father and son, have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak!" ”

"The child knows his mistake!"

Li Jiao nodded, opened the map and scribbled at the exit of Fengpan Valley: "This son plans to build the official kiln near the left, and then build a dam here to store water, so that it is enough to turn the barren mountains below into fertile fields......"

As the crown prince, Li Heng not only has outstanding ability, but also intends to cultivate his image of compassion for farmers.

It is also for this reason that in the early years, he also worked tirelessly to travel around Chang'an and have an understanding of the terrain around Panfeng Valley.

Therefore, almost without waiting for Li Jiao's words to finish, Li Heng couldn't help but sneer and said: "This son's idea is simply naïve - not to mention that the construction of a mile-long embankment is simply not humanly possible, just to say that the people have long complained about the frequent conscription of the imperial court, even if the father and emperor are afraid, they will never dare to talk about the construction of such a huge project, let alone others...... I look at me and wait, I really look up to him! ”

"That's what the kid thought was the same!"

Li Jiao nodded, pointed to the slightly moist stone and said, "But after seeing this thing, the child found that what this son said was really not delusional!" ”

Well?

Hearing this, Li Heng couldn't help but pick up the stone and rub it, and exclaimed: "This thing is like a stone, not a stone, not a sand, not a sand, not a mud, isn't it natural, but artificial?" ”

"Exactly!"

Li Li couldn't hide his excitement and said: "I heard that this method is that when this young man burns pottery, he accidentally burns stones to get powder, and then mixes them with sand and gravel, and after a few hours, it can be solidified for this, and it is stronger than the gold and stone, which is called cement - if they all use manpower to dig mountains and stones to build dams, it is indeed not a god and cannot do it, but if this cement is built, the child believes that it is only one percent of the labor, and it can still be done!" ”

"Cement...... Add water and sand and gravel to stir, can it solidify and surpass the gold stone? ”

Li Heng shook his head again and again, saying that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it anyway!

"On the child's side, there is still cement left, if Aya doesn't believe it, the child is willing to demonstrate it to Aya himself!"

Thinking of Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dong's demonstration in front of him before, seeing the scene of mud and sand mixed and solidified, Li Jiao couldn't help but be eager to try.

"So what are you waiting for?"

Li Heng was also excited when he heard this: "Come quickly, I want to see if this cement is really so magical!" ”
