"Zhang Guanren, in two days, I want to see that the workshop can burn lime."

When Gao Sheng saw Butcher Zhang, he didn't talk nonsense at all, and directly said the request.

"Huh?"

Seeing Gao Sheng, Butcher Zhang, who was originally stammering with a smile on his face, heard his words, and the stammering smile suddenly stiffened on his face.

The time Li Mingyue gave him was that the workshop would start running in seven days, and the kiln for firing the limestone would be built, which was already tight enough, otherwise he would not have let the group of village ruffians who followed him to help.

Now it's a good thing, and a more ruthless one has come, directly reducing the completion time by two-thirds.

Even if he and his little brother didn't eat, drink, or sleep, two days later, the kiln would still not be built.

"Third brother, this, this ......" Butcher Zhang reacted, and was about to beg Gao Shengxing to do well, but when he saw Gao Sheng's expectation looking at him, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and his heart was ruthless, even if he paid for someone, he would take the kiln within two days.

Otherwise, how will Gao Sheng and Li Mingyue view him?

A person has no value of use, why would the noble give you a thigh?

Gao Sheng also saw from Butcher Zhang's face that it might not be realistic to build a kiln in two days, so he changed his words and said: "Forget it, even if Zhang Guanren has three heads and six arms, he can't build a kiln in two days, but after two days, I just need to see that the workshop can burn lime, and the kiln can be built slowly." ”

Butcher Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, I will definitely be satisfied with the third brother in two days." ”

There are no kiln requirements, it's simple.

When Butcher Zhang was gossiping with the craftsmen for the past two days, he knew that it was not necessary to have a kiln to burn lime, and a simple pile of fire could also burn lime, but in this way, the time spent was relatively long, and most of the limestone fired had not completely turned into lime.

The reason why Gao Sheng suddenly asked Butcher Zhang to speed up the construction period is that he needs a lot of lime.

Of course, he didn't make soap or soap for refining soda ash, but he needed lime to solidify the soil on the river embankment.

Early this morning, he went to the embankment to check the progress of the repair, and found that the newly filled soil on the embankment was very soft, and there was a big foot pit when he stepped on it.

In a few months' time, the flood season will come, and these newly repaired embankments, covered with soft soil, will probably collapse as soon as the flood comes.

A flood of ten pieces mixed with a large amount of mud may cause greater losses to the farmers at that time.

Now, he has little way to compact the soft soil, if he uses sacks to fill the soil, and then repairs and strengthens the river, although he can fix the soil and stones, but where can he make so many sacks at a time?

At present, the most practical thing is to mix the new soil with lime and water, mix it into lime slurry, and after the lime slurry solidifies, the repaired embankment will naturally not have soft soil.

As long as it takes ten days, when the mud mixed with lime solidifies, even if it can't catch up with the hardness of cement, the hardness of lime mud is equivalent to a thick wall.

He knew that there were not many historical events in the Yonghui period, but he still remembered this historical event.

How could the flash flood that even Gaozong was almost finished forgetting for him?

Whether history is deviated because of his crossing, whether this Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty he knows, depends on whether this sudden flash flood will happen.

The two were talking, but they saw a little brother of Butcher Zhang hurriedly running in and reporting that the lord of Shanghe County had arrived.

Li Mingyue came quickly, and the two of them went out of the door, and saw Li Mingyue galloping with several subordinates.

is in such a hurry, Li Mingyue must have something important.

Sure enough, after Li Mingyue got off the horse, she threw off her cloak and galloped towards him.

"Gao Sheng, if you want to repair the embankment of Xiahe Village, why don't you discuss it with Mingyue?"

"Still going to consult with you?" Gao Sheng was a little stunned, what is Xungui doing in his own fiefdom, as long as he doesn't break the law, he doesn't even ask the emperor Lao'er, do you have to ask others if they have permission?

Li Mingyue looked at him who was ignorant, glanced at the butcher Zhang next to him, sighed, and said, "You come into the house, I have something to say to you." ”

Butcher Zhang also went to the road, and immediately stammered to the two: "The second is the first house, and a certain person will go to the distribution of craftsmen, and the two of them should not be mistaken to discuss business." ”

After saying that, after he saluted the two, he hurriedly took it and left.

Li Mingyue instructed his subordinates to guard the outside of the house like an iron general, and not let the idle people approach, even if it was Butcher Zhang.

When the two of them entered the house and looked at Gao Sheng with a puzzled face, Li Mingyue explained the reason.

"You are a newly honored person, but you are responsible for the repair of the river in the feudal city, and you are a good thing for the villagers, which is a good thing for the villagers to raise their hands to celebrate and be praised by everyone, and the saint will also look down on you."

Repairing the river embankment is a good thing, Gao Sheng knows very well and does so.

It's just that he is a traverser, and he knows that the flash flood that will suddenly rise in the spring next year must be guarded against.

Li Mingyue sighed: "If you don't have the identity of a man in Xiahe County, the matter of repairing water conservancy in winter is really a good thing, and it will also become a beautiful talk in the history books." ”

Gao Sheng listened to the meaning of Li Mingyue's words, and Zou Mei asked, "What is my identity as a man in Xiahe County?" ”

Li Mingyue said: "Since the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, there have been more than 1,000 nobles who have been honored by honors, and there has never been a nobleman like you, who has exhausted his family wealth for the sake of the feudal households to undertake the repair of water conservancy. ”

"In Mingyue's opinion, you did the right thing, and Mingyue didn't misunderstand you, although you don't have a righteous line, but you have the people of the world in mind, thousands of times stronger than the nobles that Mingyue has seen, it's just ......"

Li Mingyue's words came to this, her eyes looked at him fiercely, and she stopped talking.

Gao Sheng is a smart person, and smart people naturally think of powerful relationships.

"Mingyue, does you want to say that I, a man from Xiahe County, have benefited the people because of the water conservancy of the fiefdom, but I have offended the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty?"

Li Mingyue nodded and sighed: "Not really, it's just that you have done too much of this (winter cultivation of water conservancy), and sooner or later it will ferment. ”

Gao Sheng took Li Mingyue's words and added with a smile: "Wouldn't it be wonderful that everyone in the Manchu Dynasty will seek the well-being of the people at that time?" ”

Do you want to let Xungui work for the well-being of the bankers, is it realistic?

Except for him, a man from Xiahe County, I am afraid that there are no other nobles in this Tang Dynasty, who will spend a lot of money on water conservancy for the sake of the Zhuang households in the fiefdom.

If the emperor Lao'er told him about it that morning, even if he didn't ask for it, would these nobles dare not follow suit in order to win the favor of the emperor?

At that time, this group of nobles will definitely hate him, a man from Xiahe County, even if he doesn't offend the nobles of the world, I'm afraid he will become an outlier among the nobles, lest he avoid it.

The cost of hundreds of times, just to repair a river, looking at the Tang Dynasty, out of him, a man from Xiahe County, is really not as crazy as Xungui.

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty would rather spend hundreds of times to go to Fireworks Willow Lane to break the true yuan of the Oiran, and let them spend hundreds of times on the farmers of the fiefdom, it is better to cut them down.

"Alas, to give you such a trouble, King Zheng's Mansion will also repair Heti within the scope of Shanghe Village, and it will not be considered as a man from Xiahe County, lest the Shengshang take down the river village in the future to repair the water conservancy, and the Zheng Wangfu, which is adjacent to Xiahe Village, will not be able to raise his head in front of the Shengshang."

Li Mingyue's words shocked Gao Sheng's heart, this Zheng Wangfu is so bold......
