Chapter 236: Cham Junior
After two months, Zhao Rui even used half of the gold brought back from Guangyuan Prefecture to finally build this super-large industrial park covering an area of 2,000 acres and integrating military industry and textile processing.
Not only have a lot of large brick and tile factories been built, but there are also seven or eight rows of regular two-story buildings in the middle, and the one of them is tall and large.
On the upper floor, there are four gilt characters made of iron sheets: staff dormitory!
This is a large character completely created in accordance with Zhao Rui's crooked font, inlaid on the roof of the building, which is very eye-catching and dazzling.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Downstairs, firecrackers exploded, gongs and drums rang out, and it was Zhao Rui who held a vigorous celebration ceremony for the completion of the park.
The royal nobles, civil and military officials were all present, and while celebrating, they also came to see the style of the industrial park.
Chen Xuan was about to say a few words about the scene, but the conversation happened to be on the staff dormitory, he hesitated to look at the big characters on the top, but he didn't know how to speak, and after a long time, he reluctantly said: "Eh, the words of the master are in their own way, I have never seen them......
Isn't this an embarrassing conversation, don't praise if you can't praise it!
Then Zhao Rui took them to visit the three factories of cotton presses, looms and looms, and when the steam engine outside added coal, the machines inside the factory also operated.
Many ministers looked at the inside of the house, and couldn't help but run out of the house to see how the so-called steam engine worked.
After Zhao Rui's brief explanation, everyone only understood what the principle was, but the truth of overflow when the water vapor was full was understood, but Zhao Rui was also so amazing that he could attribute the daily phenomena to machines, and the steam engine liberated manpower and could bring infinite wealth, which is also what everyone can think of.
The emperor's ministers followed Zhao Rui's footsteps and watched as the cotton was hulled and seeded, then transported to a conveyor belt, and then plucked by several wide bowstrings, and finally became the fluffy cotton raw material in the hands of the workers, which were then transported by the workers to the loom machine.
The scene is even more amazing when it comes to the loom machine, where I don't know how many spindles are wound on the loom and are spinning cotton into threads all the time.
The spindle of the finished product was sent to the loom by the workers, and the shuttle shuttle back and forth attracted everyone's attention, and I don't know what ingenious mechanism Zhao Rui did, which can make the shuttle automatically weave without manpower, which is a miracle!
After walking around, everyone was stunned, thinking that Zhao Rui really didn't boast about it at the beginning, with such a machine, there will definitely be huge development in Jiaozhi in the future.
Especially Yao Xianchi, with surprise on his tanned face before, at first he just thought that Zhao Rui was playing some tricks, but after really seeing the machine, Yao Xianchi's heart was shocked beyond measure, there was no strange force to mess around, and now the automated production equipment is really running in front of him, and it is really Zhao Rui's great achievements!
At this time, Chen Xuan's face was full of joy, the visit just now was also the first time he saw the extraordinary things of machine production, although he had heard Zhao Rui say before, but it was better to see than to hear, and now Chen Xuan has felt that Jiaozhi must be under the leadership of Zhao Rui to walk out of a rich and brilliant avenue.
At this time, the rich aroma of meat and vegetables has emerged from the kitchen, and today is also the first meal made in the new kitchen, Zhao Rui asked Xiaoyi to purchase a large number of ingredients and prepare to feast everyone here.
Just as Zhao Rui and the others were going to sit in the dining room of the staff dormitory, the guards came over with two people in the distance, Zhao Rui fixed his eyes, one of them was Li Fulin, he seemed to have been lucky recently, and there was a young man in brocade clothes next to him, I don't know who it was.
"Li Fulin, the envoy of the city of Zhancheng, see the emperor, Taishi!"
Li Fulin gave a respectful salute, while the son-in-law beside him raised his chin slightly, a little disdainful of looking at everyone.
Because Champa had been fighting with Jiaozhi for many years, the emperor's ministers did not welcome the envoy and did not bother to talk to him at all.
Because of the good relationship with Li Fulin, it was Zhao Rui who broke the embarrassment of silence first.
"Li Fulin, why did you suddenly get here, this is ......?"
"I'm about to introduce below, this is the prince of our Champa Kingdom, Jaya Sanghabrama III, and the designated heir of our Champa King!"
No wonder he's so arrogant, it's a prince!
Zhao Rui looked at this young man suspiciously, only feeling a little weird, as a hostile country, why would he send a prince to visit?
Who knew that this prince was silent, and when he spoke, he was amazing.
"I thought it was so great, it turned out that except for one person, the others were all dumb! It's a shame that we are fighting people like you for the New Year! ”
Everyone was stunned, did this prince die too slowly?
Chen Xuan is wearing a dragon robe right under his nose, is he blind or an idiot!
Now that Zhao Rui is the Taishi of the Chen Dynasty, he naturally wants to say a few words about him.
"You...... Ay? What's it called......"
Li Fulin knew that the names of the city were complicated, and the Song people might not remember it clearly, so he said again: "Jaya Sangha Varman III." ”
"Oh, that's too much trouble! Let's call you a junior! ”
For the person who throws his face at himself, no matter how high his status is, Zhao Rui will not give him any good face.
"Little Three...... Hahaha......"
The Jiaozhi officials burst into laughter: "What the Taishi said is interesting, then isn't it more appropriate for his son Indra Varman VI to be called Lao Liu, hahaha...... But why is it so smooth? ”
"What this lord said is that in this way, it is really convenient to remember!" Zhao Rui echoed.
"You! You ......" The prince of Champa had an ugly face and was about to have a seizure.
Li Fulin hurriedly pulled him and said softly: "This was Zhao Rui, the king of Yongping of the Song Dynasty before......"
After hearing this, the prince of Zhancheng looked at Zhao Rui deeply before stopping the conversation.
Li Fulin wiped his cold sweat, he was really afraid that the prince would be too presumptuous, so as not to offend Zhao Rui, after all, he came to ask him this time.
"Taishi, that's ......"
Li Fulin said for a while that Zhao Rui knew that they were here for cotton.
Because Dabaocheng is still the same output, but the number of overseas trade is still increasing, such cotton cloth is soft in texture and has exquisite patterns, and it is very popular overseas, so the output of Dabaocheng to supply them with goods is far from enough.
It was Li Fulin who inquired about it, and only then did he know that Zhao Rui had become the master of Jiaozhi, and he had built a textile factory on the side of Shenglong, so he came over and wanted to order some goods.
But when the king of the dynasty attached great importance to the purchase of cotton cloth, he sent the prince out to meet the world with him, but this prince was arrogant since he was a child, and Li Fulin was also afraid that he would have a conflict with Zhao Rui, which would affect their purchase of cotton cloth.
Although he had a very pleasant cooperation with Cham Chengguo before, now Zhao Rui seems a little quiet.
Li Fulin could see Zhao Rui's strange appearance, and he chuckled in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good, thinking that Zhao Rui is now the master of Jiaozhi, could it be that there will be some changes?
It's better not to...... Because the king of Champa is bound to get cotton!
Sure enough, Zhao Rui said lightly: "It's no problem to purchase cotton cloth, but I have just started production here, and there is no inventory at present, so it is naturally no problem to wait until some are produced." ”
Hearing Zhao Rui's words, Li Fulin was relieved for the most part, and said again and again that we can wait.
But Zhao Rui changed his words and said: "Now that Yi'an Mansion is still in the hands of Zhancheng, since I am now the Taishi of the Chen Dynasty, I naturally have to speak for the Chen Dynasty, if you return the Yi'an Mansion, you can purchase it, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to sell my goods to you." ”
"This ......" Li Fulin's face sank again.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Rui had a bad relationship with Jiaozhi and cooperated with Zhancheng before, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around now, but he spoke for Jiaozhi everywhere.
When the emperor's ministers heard this, they were relieved a lot, because Zhao Rui had a deal with Zhancheng, and their hearts were also pimpled, but now when they heard that Zhao Rui was going to stop trading with Zhancheng for the benefit of the Chen Dynasty, they felt that Zhao Rui was loyal to the Chen Dynasty and worthy of his name as the Taishi of the Chen Dynasty.
But Zhao Rui is just loyal to himself.
Although it is only the position of the Taishi now, Zhao Rui has regarded Jiaozhi as something in his pocket, which is where he wants to carry out lasting development in this land, and some things that affect interests make Zhao Rui pay attention to it.
"What? To Nghe An House! Dream on! ”
When Li Fulin was embarrassed, the prince of Champa couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Zhao Rui in public and said: "Champa took Ngee An Mansion, and we also paid a heavy price, why do we have to return Jiaozhi, when we are so bullied?" ”
Zhao Rui thought about it, it was really like this, but it wasn't that he didn't take Zhancheng seriously in his heart.
"Yes, junior, you're right. Anyway, I have decided now, if I don't return it to Ngee An, then you don't want the cotton, and you can consider the gains and losses for yourself! ”
Zhao Rui's white eyes were white, and he was about to walk away immediately, and he really didn't have a good impression of this prince of Champa who spoke very impulsively.
"Hehe, that's true...... Li Fulin, get out of the way! ”
The prince of Champa suddenly seemed to be a different person, and his whole person became full of anger, he had guessed that there would be such a situation before he came, so he had been prepared.
"Your Royal Highness, wait, wait until I discuss ......"
Li Fulin turned to look at Zhao Rui again, and said anxiously: "Taishi, you should agree quickly, otherwise our prince will go crazy, and no one will stop him!" ”
Yes?
Zhao Rui looked at the thin arms and legs of the prince of Zhancheng, there was no threat, what did Li Fulin mean by this......
"No need, I've made up my mind, let's go, when you've figured it out, when you'll come again!"
Zhao Rui's tone was firm, and there was no room for maneuver.
"Humph! Look for death! ”
A black aura visible to the naked eye swirled around the prince of Champong, enveloping him in an instant!
The sudden change occurred, and the emperor and ministers of the Chen Dynasty couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at the black mist with some fear, and Li Fuli seemed to know that it was powerful, and he had already hid in the distance!
