Chapter 110: Start all over again
Zhang Zhen and his gang were beheaded in public, and as for the other officials involved, some were dismissed from their official positions, some were demoted, and some were locked up in prison cells, and Hou Junji committed suicide in prison.
Li Shimin is still quite magnanimous a king, after Hou Junji's death, he did not implicate his family, but confiscated Hou Junji's illegal gains.
The arson case is in the past, and the pain left in the hearts of Wang Dazhui's family can only slowly fade with time.
Months passed, and before you knew it, people had gradually forgotten about the arson.
……
"Lean to the left!"
"A little further to the right!"
"Raise the left a little higher!"
Wang Fugui is directing the subordinates of the family, hanging the plaque on the door, today is the day they are going to move to a new house.
The new house was designed by Wang Dazhui himself, incorporating many modern elements and attracting the attention of many people.
At noon, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate them.
"Congratulations to Wang Xiannan for moving to a new house, a small gift is not a tribute." Cheng Tieniu led people and carried a few large boxes.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng, I'm really sorry to have so many big boxes and say anything about being careless and letting you break the bank." Wang Dazhui stepped forward with a smile and greeted warmly.
"You're welcome, don't look at me carrying a lot of things, it's actually worthless." Cheng Tieniu joked.
"Congratulations to Wang Xiannan, these are the two jars of good wine I prepared, and I came to celebrate the completion of the new house. If you don't get drunk today, you won't return. It was Li Yao who spoke.
Immediately behind Li Yao is Di Renjie, the great detective, and now he is no longer a teaching assistant in Hongwenguan, and was dropped by Li Shimin to work in the Criminal Department, specializing in investigating and trying cases.
Wang Dazhui entertained all his good friends, and as for other neighbors, they were all personally received by his father Wang Fugui.
Accompanied by the sound of crackling firecrackers, the gate of the Wang family was full of people who came to celebrate, which was the first time since the fire that the Wang family was so lively.
"Brother Wang, congratulations!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhao, drink a few more drinks in a while."
"Congratulations to Master Wang! Congratulations to King Xi! ”
"Thanks, please."
Wang Fugui's face was full of red light, he looked quite good today, he was in a good mood, he was in good spirits, and his hair was combed very neatly.
Wearing a purple satin tunic, it was really red and purple, and there were blessing characters of different sizes on the satin, which made Wang Fugui look radiant.
Zhang Cuihua is also dressed up very festively today, and she is taking her sister-in-law Wang Xuemei to greet the female relatives who came to celebrate.
Wang Dazhui's sisters are also dressed up very beautifully today, like blooming flowers.
The seven sisters plus the daughter of the aunt's family, Kong Min, looked like eight little fairies at a glance.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Wang, you are really beautiful today."
"This is Mrs. Kong, right? Your sister-in-law standing together is really a race and a good look, which is really enviable. ”
"Thanks for the compliment, you look good too."
The Wang family compound was full of laughter, and everyone had a smile on their faces, as bright as the sunshine on a sunny day.
The people who came to congratulate them were all close to the Wang family, neighbors, and everyone came to celebrate when the new house was built.
Dozens of tables were set up in the courtyard, relatives and friends came, neighbors also came, and many ministers in the court also sent congratulatory gifts, even Emperor Li Shimin also sent a generous gift.
Everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, ate and drank, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very lively, sweeping away the bad luck of a few months ago.
On this day, the king's sledgehammer was also poured with a lot of wine, and by the evening, he was already drunk and unconscious.
To be honest, during this time, everyone was worried about Wang Dazhui, because since his second sister had an accident, Wang Dazhui completely seemed to be a different person.
The smile on his face was gone, and the whole thing became very dull, and many times, he locked himself in the room and tossed alone.
Seeing his son sad, Wang Fugui and his family were also very sad, but they didn't know how to comfort him.
In order to cheer up his son, Wang Fugui felt that he should find something for him to do, so that when he was busy, he probably wouldn't have time to immerse himself in pain anymore.
So, Wang Fugui decided to rebuild the house on the original homestead.
Not to mention, this method is really effective, Wang Dazhui has something to do, and he slowly stops being full of pain every day, and gradually becomes stronger.
From the design of the house to the construction process of the entire house, Wang Dazhui has devoted himself to the work wholeheartedly.
In order to make the house stronger and able to withstand earthquakes, fires and other accidents, Wang Dazhui decided to use a modern reinforced concrete structure to build the house.
There was no cement, so Wang Dazhui took his men to make it himself.
In order to find raw materials for making cement, Wang Dazhui also worked hard and ran to many areas where cement raw materials were produced in his memory.
Luckily, he soon found limestone and clay, the main materials for making cement, near Liupan Mountain, which was very close to his hometown of Baiyin.
However, it is all mountains, and the roads are very difficult to walk, so it is not easy to transport these materials to Chang'an City.
In the end, Wang Dazhui simply decided to process it directly locally, which saved the trouble of transporting raw materials.
After deciding to do it, Wang Dazhui immediately gathered a large number of people and began to mine the raw materials needed.
Wang Dazhui led people, using the gunpowder he made, and built the first cement factory in the very backward era of Datang.
I have to say that there are always more ways than difficulties, although they encountered a lot of technical problems along the way, but they were overcome one by one by Wang Dazhui and his men.
The days in the mountains, it is easy to forget the unhappiness in his heart, although he is tired every day, but it also allows him to gradually get out of the pain of losing his relatives.
In order to facilitate the transportation of the finished cement to Chang'an City, Wang Da Hammer directly decided to build a road from the cement factory to Chang'an City.
So, under the leadership of Wang Dazhui, in just two months, the first cement road in Datang was built.
Although this road is not comparable to the current road, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, it was already very remarkable, and this road shocked the people along the way.
There was no longer any need to worry about getting stuck on a muddy dirt road on a rainy day, which was unimaginable to the common people at that time.
In their eyes, this kind of treatment is probably only available to the nobles in the palace.
This is indeed the case, if it weren't for Wang Dazhu's sledgehammer to make cement, there would be very few people who could pave the ground with stone slabs. Because slate is too much work to produce. And the cost of grinding and forming is very high.
