Chapter 442 Heavy Snow (Five Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Chapter 442 Zhang Qiaozhang was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Chengqian's question, he didn't expect Li Chengqian to transfer him to the capital, he is an official, and if he goes to the capital, he will definitely be promoted.
"Yes, if Your Highness needs it, the minister naturally needs to go!" Zhang Qiaozhang said to Li Chengqian.
"Okay, it's decided, after a while, there will be an appointment, when you come to the capital, before you come, Lone will rent you a good house, Pepin said that you have talent, then naturally there is, Lone trusts Peping very much." Li Chengqian said to Zhang Qiaozhang with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you Hu Guogong!" Zhang Qiaozhang clenched his fists again and said.
"Okay, Lone is going back, I'm here to take a look today, it's very good, you have worked hard, wait until you return to Beijing, Lone invites you!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Congratulations to Your Highness!" Qin Huaidao and they immediately gave up their hands, and soon Li Chengqian left.
"Thank you Hu Guogong!" Zhang Qiaozhang said to Qin Huaidao. "No, talents shouldn't be buried, just your intentions for the people here, you should have been promoted a long time ago!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile at Zhang Qiaozhang.
"Yes, but I still have to thank Hu Guogong, if it weren't for Hu Guogong's recommendation, Xia Guan would not be remembered by His Highness!" Zhang Qiaozhang spoke again.
"Well, when you get to the East Palace, tell those young officials about their experience in governing the place, they still don't understand a lot of things, and if you go there, it is estimated that you will be able to be promoted to a seventh-grade official, and the rest will depend on you!" Qin Huaidao looked at him with a smile and said.
"Yes!" Zhang Qiaozhang nodded.
After a few days, Qin Huaidao was still busy with steel here, there was no problem with pig iron, and the rest was steel, about 20 tons of steel per day, which was unqualified at first.
However, unqualified can also be used for other purposes, after slowly trying many times, those steels are qualified, Qin Huaidao used part of it to make wire, and the other part is to make steel ingots, this is used to make weapons and tools!
"Pepin, Pepin's snowing, snowing!" As soon as Qin Huaidao returned to the tent that night, Yu Chi Baoqi outside shouted loudly, and Qin Huaidao ran out immediately when he heard it, only to see the goose feathers and heavy snow drifting down.
"Okay, okay, God has opened my eyes, it's snowing!" Qin Huaidao stood there and said happily,
Many people in the tent have run out, very happy, there has not been a drop of rain and snow for more than 5 months, and now it is finally falling.
"Okay, it's good if it snows, and then the winter hunt will be held, and the people don't have to worry about having nothing to drink!" Cheng Zhiji also said with emotion, Qin Huaidao nodded,
But what Qin Huaidao didn't expect was that this snow was three days and three nights, and the snow on the flat ground was so thick that it was so thick at the knees of adults, originally Qin Huaidao and they all planned to return to Beijing in the next few days, and everything here was already busy, and some of the pig iron had been transported to the capital.
But now there is still a large amount of pig iron and steel piled up here, and such heavy snow can't be transported at all, and Qin Huaidao can't go back.
"Either you just don't go down, or you want to go down for three days and three nights, really!" Qin Huaidao stood at the door of the house, they moved to the house yesterday, and there were no people in the tent.
"Master, with such heavy snowfall, I'm afraid it will take a few days to go back!" Qin Daniu stood there and spoke.
"Well, that's it, someone!" Qin Huaidao stood there and spoke.
"In!" Not far away, a lieutenant spoke.
"Immediately organize 1,000 people, immediately bring tools, and shovel out the road from here to Chang'an, now the pig iron here needs to be sent to the military department, can not be delayed, go over immediately, according to the distance, a person needs to shovel 100 meters, within two days, clean it for me, go quickly!" Qin Huaidao said to the captain.
"Yes!" The lieutenant heard and nodded. Soon, the guards here dispatched more than 1,000 people, with tools and began to shovel out the snow, and began to clear a road along the road.
Until the evening, even after sweeping less than 30 kilometers, the soldiers were also very tired, and they returned to the station after dark.
The next day, another wave of people continued to clear the snow, but it was also less than 30 kilometers away, and it took another day to get to Chang'an City, which was originally swept within two days according to Qin Huaidao's plan, but now it seems that it is not enough,
On the third day, I continued to clear the snow, and at the same time, those carriages loaded with pig iron also set off, and the workers here, the workers also dispatched more than 1,000 people, and dared to go to Chang'an City.
A total of 200,000 catties of pig iron were transported here, and Qin Huaidao also brought his family soldiers over, and when he arrived at a place where there was snow, Qin Huaidao's family soldiers and those soldiers began to clear the snow together, so it was much faster.
But it was still dark that Qin Huaidao and their convoy arrived in Chang'an City, and Qin Huaidao took those carriages and went to the side of the military department.
Originally, there weren't many people on duty on the side of the Ministry of War, but seeing that Qin Huaidao was back, Li Ji summoned the officials of the Ministry of War to come back.
"Pepin!" Li Ji saw Qin Huaidao and came over immediately.
"Huh, Uncle Li Ji, here is 100,000 catties of pig iron, in the future, every day, about 100,000 catties of pig iron will be sent over there, and the pig iron of the military department will definitely be no problem!" Qin Huaidao smiled and rubbed his hands and said to Li Ji.
"Quick, please inside the house, what's the matter with you, why did you let Hu Guogong outside?" Li Ji said to the officials inside.
"Lord Shangshu, it's as cold inside as outside, the stove will go out in the afternoon, and we didn't expect that the Hu Guo Guild would come over at this time, we are on duty here, and we are all wearing very thick clothes!" An official immediately said to Li Ji.
"This, hey, go, go back, leave the affairs here to them, you can't freeze!" Li Ji said to Qin Huaidao, he saw that Qin Huaidao's armor was frozen, and he kept stomping his feet, it was very cold.
"Don't, uncle, can you let them burn the stove now, it's not just me who is cold now, it's these workers, and these soldiers, it's cold, we came out early in the morning, and we rushed to Chang'an to clear the snow.
It can be said that everyone is cold and hungry, I have just ordered Qinfu Restaurant to send 2,500 meals, you can find me a place now, let us escape the cold! Qin Huaidao said to Li Ji.
"What, okay, burn the stove immediately, and in addition, notify the barracks to clean the vacant barracks immediately, and burn a fire in them, and at night, if someone wants to go in and live, go immediately!" As Li Ji spoke, he commanded the captains around him, and the captains immediately took action.
"Come, come, Pepin, take this, hand stove!" Li Ji handed his hand stove to Qin Huaidao as he spoke, and Qin Huaidao immediately took it,
It's really cold now, and now the temperature outside, Qin Huaidao estimates that it is minus 20 degrees, and when they walk, they don't feel it because they sweat when they walk, but when they stop, they are cold, and they feel cold.
"Master, master!" At this time, the steward of the Qin Mansion brought people over, and at the same time came to bring a stove, which was a charcoal fire.
"Master, quick, bake the fire!" After the steward set up the stove, he said to Qin Huaidao.
"Cheng, Baoqi, you all come here, hurry!" Qin Huaidao beckoned them and said, and soon, they were gathered together, roasting a fire.
At this time, Li Shimin in the palace also knew that Qin Huaidao was back at this time, he was very surprised, why did he come back at this time, and he was not in a hurry, but he still brought someone over here to take a look, and then found out,
Those soldiers were frozen, and in the distance, there were soldiers holding firewood, ready to light a fire, no way, it was too cold, these pig iron needed to be weighed, they still needed to wait.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" The general on duty, when His Majesty got out of the carriage, shouted loudly, all the people, put down their work, and all stood up straight.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" After everyone saw Li Shimin get out of the carriage, they all said with their hands.
"Good, good, hard work, hard work, quick, ignition, ignition!" Li Shimin immediately said to the soldiers holding firewood in the distance, those soldiers immediately lit the fire, Li Shimin also saw those soldiers, almost all the soldiers, the armor was frozen, and those workers were also shivering from the cold.
"Quick, go to the fire, go to the fire!" Li Shimin said to those soldiers, and soon, many big fires were lit, and Qin Huaidao and they also trotted to Li Shimin's side, all of them were trembling, even Cheng Chuhei.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Qin Huai said that they came over and immediately shouted.
"Here, go to the fire, go quickly, there's nothing going on here, just come and see!" Li Shimin saw that several of them were like this, and said anxiously.
"Hu Guogong, this way, this way, the stove is burned!" A lieutenant stood at the door of the military headquarters and said anxiously to Qin Huaidao.
"Let's go, go inside and say, it's cold, I'm standing outside, I feel cold, go!" Li Shimin immediately took Qin Huaidao's hand, pulled the cold and cold, and immediately pulled Qin Huaidao's to the side of the military department, and when he arrived at the military department, it was much better inside.
"Whew, it's so comfortable, it's so comfortable!" Qin Huaidao and they immediately said happily.
"Why did you come back so late? I can come back tomorrow! Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"No way, we were going to hand in the pig iron three days ago, but the heavy snow closed the road, so we could only send out soldiers to clear the snow, all the way from the pig iron workshop to Chang'an, more than 100 miles, we finished sweeping, to ensure that those carriages can pass!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"Well, it's hard work, I heard Gao Ming say, the output over there is really large, and now there is no shortage of pig iron here in the military department, and there will be no shortage of pig iron in the court!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with great emotion, and he was also very moved in his heart.
