Early the next morning, someone came to report that Cheng Wushu Hou came to find him.

"Gu Bei, you, you, what weird thing did you kid put in that wine? Even now they are unconscious? Cheng Wushu was a little furious, and as soon as Gu Bei appeared, he had already jumped up.

Overnight, Cheng Wuving, who always looked strong, actually became a lot haggard. In fact, licking calves is deep, people feel the same way, although they used to beat and scold them often, but after all, it is their own son.

Since the ten brothers of the Cheng family were carried back, they have always been in a state of deep sleep, and they have not woken up until now, drinking sobering soup and hangover tea have no effect, and even if they are pricked with needles in the end, there is no response, if it is not for the ten brothers snoring like thunder, it is enough to prove that people just drink too much, otherwise Cheng Wushu will go crazy.

Not awake yet? The old man is awake, how can they not wake up? Could it be that you drank a little too much?

"Shibo, this is easy to do!" After Gu Bei figured out the joint, he lazily crossed Erlang's legs, "If you want the little nephew to wake them up, do you have to pay the silver first?" ”

"Silver ......" Cheng Wudi's face darkened for a while, and he couldn't understand that Bai Fu couldn't say that he could cover the sky with one hand in the Xia Kingdom, but he was also a veritable super noble, why was the only uncle actually such a money fan? Open your mouth and close your mouth to silver, what about the integrity of the reader?

Cheng Wuving's black face was purple, and he threw out a stack of silver tickets fiercely, only to feel depressed in his heart, he had always embarrassed others before, and since this Gu Bei appeared, he has suffered losses everywhere.

Who is the first hob meat in Xia Kingdom? I'm afraid that after these words come out, I won't let those sour Confucian civil officials laugh off their big teeth.

Gu Bei asked people to send a few jars of wine: "Oh, fill a few more bowls per person, and fill as many as you can!" Neutralize the wine in your stomach and you'll be fine, and the wine will be given to Shi Bo for free. ”

He didn't know if this method would work, so he could only try it, anyway, pour a few more bowls, and if he didn't wake up, he would sleep a little longer.

"You're kidding me?" Cheng Wushu was furious: "Do you think this method has not been tried?" I have already poured them a lot, it is useless! Drink as much as you want and spit it out!"

"Shibo, the reason why they are drunk is because they have drunk the best wine, a cup can be exchanged for a new jar of wine, the strength of the wine can be imagined, each of them has drunk at least two bowls or more, how can they not get drunk! This is still their excellent physique.

Even if you know how to mix it with wine to make their stomachs react and neutralize it, but my wine is not comparable to ordinary wines, and it is naturally difficult to neutralize it! I guess Sebo didn't use the wine I gave him to make it! Gu Bei blinked and smiled.

"You have a point!" Cheng Wushu snorted, he really let Gu Bei say it right, he was really reluctant to use those jars of fine wine to redeem it.

But if those bunnies had woken up early, would there have been today's wine giveaways?

Cheng Wushu left with a black face, but in fact, his heart was happy, these wines were mixed together, two jars were enough, and there was still a lot left, and when the time came, ...... Hey......

As for the silver given? As long as you can buy shares, are you afraid that there will be no market for this kind of fine wine? Can you make less money?

After sending Cheng Invincible away, Gu Bei took Xiao Ran to the glass workshop, that is, the kiln.

In order to facilitate management, Gu Bei directly divided the small courtyard where the glass was fired separately and let the shopkeeper Zhou take care of it, and also strengthened the vigilance. The glass has been fired, and in order to keep it secret, Gu Bei also asked Shopkeeper Zhou to build a few new houses in the small courtyard to bring the families of those craftsmen who fired glass to live together.

Gu Bei knew that the crafts of the Xia Dynasty were very backward, and he also knew that the best craftsmen of this era were all recruited by the government, and the government-run industry had always occupied the dominant position of the ancient handicraft industry, representing the highest level of production skills.

Artisans are concentrated in the workshops set up by the government, and the raw materials supplied by the government are used to produce and process the products designated by the government under the supervision of the workers.

Their profession is hereditary, and they have worked for the government for generations.

Gu Bei provided a house for their family to live in, and they not only did not think that Gu Bei was putting them under house arrest, but they were also grateful.

This glass is the most critical part of building a high-rise building, and it is also Gu Bei's dream in his heart, and he doesn't want anything to go wrong.

Gu Bei looked at the thick glass plate, he was still not satisfied, it was far from meeting his requirements, but he also knew that he couldn't rush these things, and he could only let the craftsmen try and test. Any experiment is not achieved overnight, it is the result of thousands of trials. All Gu Bei could do was to give some advice so that they would avoid detours.

Although the glass plate is far from meeting the requirements, it should not be a problem to fire some bottles and cans.

Gu Bei came this time to prepare to burn the wine bottle, a pound of glass wine bottles, which can make people see the transparent wine in the wine bottle at a glance. With fine wine, how can it not be paired with a beautiful glass bottle? Otherwise, how can it be sold at a high price, so that those rich families are happy.

Even the advertising lines, he has already thought of it, printed the pattern on the glass bottle, and wrote: Whoever offends me in Daxia, although it is far away, will be punished! Huajiu, you deserve it!

That's right! Gu Bei named the newly brewed wine "Huajiu", which is to always tell himself that he is a great Chinese, whether it is modern or ancient, he must not lose his face as a Chinese in the future.

Gu Bei handed over the drawings to the oldest craftsman, that is, the foreman, the old craftsman is called Tan Mu, and his family has been carpenters for generations, but in Tan Mu's generation, he just ran to be a craftsman.

Tan Mu was very excited, looked at Gu Bei with a look of admiration, took the drawings with both hands, and after asking the requirements and details, he said: "Owner, these are all right, they will be fired soon!"

Tan Mu did it himself, and soon, a clear glass bottle took shape in front of Gu Bei's eyes, Gu Bei was stunned, only to see Tan Mu pinch it casually with his hand a few times, and it turned into a glass bottle.

After cooling, Gu Bei picked it up and looked at it, and was amazed, worthy of being a master! This glass bottle has no blemishes, it is beautiful and exquisite!

If it weren't for watching the glass bottle take shape, he would almost think that this was also a modern time-traveler.

Gu Bei touched his chin and wondered if he should mention the price of the wine, the exquisite glass bottle accompanied the wine, it was very tall and high-grade at a glance, and it would definitely be able to meet the needs of those rich families. But after thinking about it, I still gave up, and I decided to pay fifty taels of silver to an altar before...... Uh, a bottle. It can no longer be changed, and the businessman must be honest.

The wine bottle is designed, and now as long as people are printed with patterns, it can be mass-produced, Gu Bei looked at the seven or eight craftsmen in the glass workshop, and was a little worried, only relying on seven or eight craftsmen to fire glass bottles, it would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. Once these people have fired the glass bottles, it means that the glass panes have to be stopped.

No, we have to recruit more craftsmen, but where to find them? Do you want to go to a government-run workshop to poach people?

Yes, didn't Chen Jinwang say a few days ago that the foundation of the high-rise building is about to be excavated, and soon a group of disaster victims will be idle, if it really can't work, let these disaster victims help! This can be regarded as learning a craft for them, but it will be hard for Tan Mu.

Gu Bei originally wanted to persuade Tan Mu to waste some tongues, but he didn't expect Tan Mu to agree without hesitation.

For Tan Mu, these apprentices were also taught by him, and there was no skill in firing glass, but it took a little time to polish. What's more, the owner spoke, how could he not agree? Doing things for the owner, constantly rewarding, the salary is higher than other places, and more importantly, there is the dignity of being a craftsman.

After Gu Bei finished explaining the matter, he went to the Luobei Port construction site to inspect, this will be his base camp from now on, and he is very concerned.

Walking slowly along the Qinhuai waterwheel and horse, Gu Bei lifted the curtain and looked around with great interest.

I saw that the boats on the river were weaving, and the back and forth were like shuttles.

Along the way, around a river bay, I saw dozens of ships docked on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

On both sides of the riverbank, rows of tall and spacious houses are lined up one after another, and a boatload of building materials is hoisted ashore by the tall boom on the riverbank, and directly put it on the ground.

This kind of boom is specially made by Gu Bei, the purpose is to improve efficiency and save time.

The carriage moved slowly, joining the busy flow of people on the shore.

Someone wanted to say hello and let the group get out of the way, but they were shocked by the momentum of the group. Guarding the carriage around several tall horses of excellent breed, the big men on horseback also wear steel knives at their waists, looking at the thickness of the scabbard, I am afraid that it is made of good materials.

This is not an ordinary family's guard, Ying Tianfu is full of powerful people, who knows which god one accidentally provokes? It's better to provoke less......

Although others are curious, how can a powerful person come to this wasteland? But without asking too much, the carriage, which had several guards, avoided it and allowed it to move unhindered to the docks.

Gu Bei raised his eyes and saw a familiar figure at the dock, directing the craftsmen to work.

whispered a few words to Xiao Ran and ordered him to call the man over.

Xiao Ran walked over, patted the man's shoulder, and said a few words. The man looked back, it was not Chen Jinwang, Chen Jinwang instructed the craftsmen around him a few words, and then walked over with Xiao Ran.

Chen Jinwang came to the side of the carriage, Gu Bei lifted the curtain to look at him, and said with a gentle smile: "Old Chen, how is the dock here?" ”

Chen Jinwang was stunned for a moment, then understood what Gu Bei meant, and hurriedly said: "The owner, to build this wharf, requisitioned thousands of victims, and rushed to work day and night, now according to the owner's plan, only the wharf needs to be expanded and reinforced." ”

"There is no money to be deducted!"

"The construction of the wharf has cost tens of thousands of dollars, including the remuneration of the victims, and no one dares to have a trace of fake public welfare and personal gain."

Gu Bei nodded with satisfaction, he didn't want to have subordinates who deducted money in the early stage of his business, and it was a small matter to deduct money, but don't lose the hearts of these victims because of small losses.

In Gu Bei's view, these victims will be the cornerstone of his business empire in the future, although those victims are grateful to Gu Bei and regard themselves as Gu Bei's servants, but Gu Bei has never had this kind of thought.

He wants to make Luobei Port the most prosperous port in Xia Kingdom, and he wants the victims here to live and work in peace and contentment, eat and clothe themselves, and love this place as their home.

He wants to make this a distribution center for goods in the whole country, where there is the tallest building in the Xia country, there are workshops, there are entertainment facilities, and there are ...... His dream will set sail from here.

Standing on the wheel, Gu Bei looked at the boats on the river, a few thick booms, a group of shirtless and tanned strong men on both sides of the wharf, reinforcing the river bank under the guidance of craftsmen, from time to time there were victims carrying stones and carrying trees to pass by the carriage, and when they saw Gu Bei, their eyes were grateful, and their expressions were with a trace of satisfaction.

It was this man who took them in, it was this man who gave them a new life, it was this man who gave them hope, and they were grateful to this man from the bottom of their hearts.

They had a house to live in, enough to eat, and a salary to work, which they had never dared to think of before.

The carriage swayed along a constructed concrete road to the residential area.

This wasteland is full of amazing vitality because Gu Bei came and thousands of disaster victims came.

A large piece of flat land is opened not far from the big pit, and the red brick houses are neatly arranged, although these houses are not large, but they are better than the unified planning, clean and neat, and they look very shocking.

Most of the men went to the wharf and the big pit, and those who stayed behind were the women and the elderly, who came out and went in to clean up the house, and although their faces were full of fatigue, they were more full of bright smiles......

Gu Bei looked at Chen Jinwang beside him and asked, "How could this house be built so quickly?" ”

It's only been a few days since the refugees were accepted?

Chen Jinwang explained: "This is thanks to the foresight of the owner, the kiln is full of red bricks, and the victims are not able to work hard under the leadership of craftsmen, after all, they are building their own homes, but so far, about 20% of the victims have nowhere to live." But after half a month, everyone can get a sheltered house. ”

Gu Bei stood in front of the building with his hands in his hands, inspecting everything around him.

The tall houses were built on high ground, not in danger of flooding, and the walls were made of red brick and cement, making them look sturdy and durable. The roof is not covered with tiles, but has an almost flat top, and boiling water is found slightly at the middle ridge so that rainwater can be retained and will not be left on the roof to cause water seepage.

Next, Chen Jinwang led Gu Bei and others to inspect several workshops under construction, explaining them one by one from time to time.

Now Chen Jinwang's subordinates have more than a few thousand, which is more powerful than the hundreds of people in charge of the workshop before, and the spirit of the whole person is different......

Ten days ago, Kyoto.

In the secluded and somewhat terrifying hall, there was occasionally the sound of turning paper, mixed with a few light coughs, and now the highest person in the Xia Kingdom put down a piece of music from the northern border, and a little fatigue appeared on his face that was not angry and arrogant.

"The White Flower Sect has shown its traces, the matter of bandits in the west is unresolved, the drought is coming, and the Turkic country is ready to move, wanting to invade the border of our Xia country...... Isn't I really a good emperor? Why did God make the people of my Xia Kingdom suffer so much? ”

After reading several pieces in succession, all of them were such worrying things, Emperor Xia muttered a few words, and for a while he didn't know whether to continue reading.

At this moment, the door of the palace quietly opened, and a rickety figure walked in silently.

This is a middle-aged man, his face is white and beardless, wearing an ordinary gray roe deer, he walked up the steps, stood still in front of the wide table, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling Niangniang is waiting outside the palace for a meeting." ”

There was a hint of femininity in the middle-aged man's voice, but he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.

"It's late, let her rest early!" When Emperor Xia heard this, he waved his hand and said.

He was irritable at this time, no one wanted to see him, the purpose of Concubine Ling's request, he didn't have to think about it, he knew it, and it was for Yang Qianling.

The middle-aged man nodded, and quietly retreated.

After only a moment, he walked in again, presented an object in his hand, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Ling Niangniang has returned to the palace, and the old slave sent this thing to Your Majesty, this thing is called Tianxianglu, which was sent back by His Royal Highness, and it is said to have the effect of dissipating fatigue." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Xia took the small porcelain vase from his hand and was about to open it, when the middle-aged man spoke again: "Your Majesty, the origin of this thing is unknown, do you want someone to check it first, and then ......?"

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I have already heard of this heavenly fragrance, since it is Qian Ling's intention, besides, Concubine Ling will not dare to harm me...... By the way, how does this work? ”

"Concubine Ling said that you can drop this thing on your hand." The middle-aged man spoke.

He had personally tested it just now, and this thing would indeed exude a peculiar smell when dropped on his body, which could make people mentally shocked, and it could be regarded as having the effect of dissipating fatigue.

In his experience, this thing is not a poison, and of course, if it needs to be consumed, he will definitely prevent His Majesty from risking his life.

Emperor Xia opened the lid of the porcelain vase, and a fragrant smell wafted out of it.

Before he dripped this thing on his hand according to the method that Concubine Ling said, he already felt a trace of clarity in his mind, and a trace of strange color flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes, and he muttered: "I heard that this thing was invented by the grandson-in-law of Zhenguo Gong?" ”

Since it had already had the effect of relieving his fatigue, he put the porcelain vase aside, reached out and took a piece of music, and after opening it, he smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence, this letter was handed over by the prefect of Yingtian, and the grandson-in-law of Zhenguo Gong invented a wheel that automatically lifts water." ”

The recital is very long, sprinkled with more than a thousand words, and Emperor Xia has watched it for a quarter of an hour.

After reading it, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he said: "It's really a strange person, the matter of the drought, the court officials argued endlessly, but I didn't expect it to be solved by this big wheel." ”

He wrote down the word "quasi", which means that Wu Governor's Mansion wants to implement this waterwheel in Yingtianfu, and he has approved it.

There was good news in his heart, which made the haze in his heart dissipate.

Of course, he also kept in mind the name of the grandson-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion, which solved a problem in the Xia Kingdom, with the waterwheel, the Xia Kingdom would no longer have to worry about drought in the future, and the grain output would also increase.
