No. 035 A small idea
"I have a little idea to solve this matter, but, Your Highness, are you sure that the adults will listen to me?"
On the surface, Xiao Zhao's maid asked Cai Daoxing to ask him about the crime, but in fact, he came to ask him if he had any countermeasures, and to weigh his prodigy. As soon as I heard that Cai Dao had a way, after all, he was still a child, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Ahem!" When the dog-legged eunuch beside him saw it, he immediately stepped forward and coughed in a low voice.
It seems that the tacit understanding between the two is good, Xiao Zhao maid heard the voice, immediately put on a small face, and said: "You are a demon, I just said two wrong sentences, first, it should be a lonely family, I have a way, second, if the lonely family's method is correct, why don't those ministers listen?" ”
"Ugh!" Cai Dao sighed in his heart: This highness is really thick-skinned! Before he could say a way, he was ready to take it for himself. However, who made this little kid the prince and himself the reserve minister?
Cai Dao didn't bother to care about the gains and losses of this matter, with Song Shenzong's understanding of his son, he would definitely understand the whole thing, if he could easily solve the impact of the heavy snow this time, presumably the official family would not treat him badly.
Without saying a word, Cai Dao took out a homemade charcoal, a ruler, and a thick piece of white paper from his desk drawer, and drew a sketch with his head down. He's not an industrial designer, and he certainly doesn't paint complex industrial machinery.
The sketch is just a simple brick-making tool. With less than half a pillar of incense, Cai Dao drew all the sketches.
From the sketch, there is an iron rectangular box in the center of the sketch, the size is about the size of two bricks in later generations, and the top and bottom are not closed, but there is an iron ring in the middle of each of the three middle parts of the four walls of the iron box, and the bottom four sides of the iron box should protrude inward about half a little fingertip long, and a thick iron plate is also painted next to the iron box, three iron hooks with handles, and three flat-head hammers with wooden handles.
Cai Dao didn't know anything about the chaotic weights and measures of the Great Song Dynasty, so he didn't write specific data on the sketch.
After drawing the sketch, Cai Dao handed it to the eunuch and explained: "This iron box should be about the same size as the green bricks outside, but the thickness should be half as thick as the green bricks, and the size of this iron plate should be just enough to be stuck into this iron box." ”
"That's what you say, what can this thing do? Besides, why not make this thing out of wood, isn't that faster? Xiao Zhao took the sketch from the eunuch's hand, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything famous.
After listening to Cai Dao's explanation, he could imagine what the tools in the sketch would look like. But what can this really do? Now is the critical moment, and I don't have time to accompany this little demon to create these children's things.
"The poor way has been given to you, as for believe it or not, that's your own problem, Your Highness! Poor Dao reminds me that the sooner this thing is built, the sooner the problem can be solved. At this time, if anyone dares to make this thing out of wood, it will be burned as firewood by your own men in a few days! Cai Dao gave Xiao Zhao a roll of his eyes, and when he spoke, he seemed to be looking at an idiot.
"Presumptuous! You demon ......" Seeing Cai Dao's expression, Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, and the eunuch beside him couldn't help it at first, and scolded loudly.
"That's what you said. If this thing is useless, this king will come back and cut off your head himself. Xiao Zhao stopped his subordinates with a wave of his hand, took out a silk handkerchief, folded the drawings into a small square, wrapped them in a handkerchief and stuffed them into his arms, and after saying this threatening sentence to Cai Dao, he got up and sat in his carriage and left the nursery.
Cai Dao would not delay his plan for this matter, and after breakfast, he arranged for Xiao Mi to lead a group of little palace maids to the room to observe how to take care of the little baby.
As mentioned above, when he was still in Yanfu Palace, Cai Dao spent money to entrust Hua Qianqi to do two things, one was to register and learn about the situation of the homeless orphans around the Mencius Temple and near Hua Qiyi's home, and the other was to adopt a few abandoned children who had just been born for a long time or others were unwilling to raise babies. However, Cai Dao repeatedly emphasized to Hua Xuanyi that first, it is not allowed to accept children from unknown sources, and second, it is not allowed to give the benefits of a penny to the person who sent the child.
Of course, Cai Dao will not treat those friends who help Hua Xianqi do things, and once the nursery school is officially put into operation, Cai Dao will be able to turn these friends of Hua Xianqi into people in the system.
Although the flower is a little mixed, it is still quite reliable to do things. Within a few days, he adopted many of these babies through various channels, including twelve children, three boys and nine girls.
As Xiao Zhao said, after the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Bianliang City was closed by heavy snow, and many poor people's houses were collapsed.
After Cai Dao learned the news, he immediately asked Hua Xianqi to stop his actions, not because he didn't want to continue to take in these children, but because there were too few people available to him. Cai Bucket and Cai Ban are just reluctant, after all, the time with him is too short, and there are many children, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other, in case a few children die, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now, there are many people in Bianliang City who want to trouble Cai Dao, and he has to be cautious in his words and deeds, and he does not dare to leak the slightest flaw.
Before, Cai Dao couldn't get out of Yanfu Palace, so he could only let Hua Xianqi find someone to watch first.
Fortunately, with Cai Dao's financial support, these children did not die of starvation.
It wasn't until he arrived at this nursery that Cai Dao asked Hua Xianqi to take all those children over, and they were always taken care of by Cai Ban, Xiao Mi and Aunt Su.
After all, the little confusion is still a little worse, and although Aunt Su is old, she doesn't have any experience in taking care of babies, not to mention that her eyesight is not very good. The performance of these two women is not as good as Cai Ban. Therefore, it was not until today that Cai Dao let these little palace maids participate in it.
As for those little eunuchs, they won't let them be idle.
The courtyard of the nursery is very large, with a large courtyard house with five exits and five entrances, and a garden, fish pond and rockery in the backyard.
And now, Cai Dao led those little eunuchs into the backyard, and in the next period of time, they were to completely destroy this garden. The rockery was not wasted, Cai Dao arranged for Hua Xianqi to contact the buyer, and someone would come and move it in the next few days.
These little eunuchs were expecting the King of Yan'an to save them just now, but the great savior they were looking forward to only glanced at them, and then hurried over to see that this official did not take them to heart at all.
It also made them completely dead. Now, in addition to rebellion, whatever this devil leader tells them to do, they will do their best. It's the same for whoever works for them, although Cai Daoren is a little stricter and the workload is a little bigger, but he doesn't deduct their food.
As for those who dragged their feet, no one took pity on them. The trail leader is an hour late and runs faster than you, isn't this a waste? Those little eunuchs who were delayed from eating breakfast wished that these oil bottles would die early, so as to save them from dragging them down all day.
It took about half a day, Cai Dao had lunch, took a nap, and waited for Xiao Zhao's party to come.
Last time, Hua Xianqi deeply engraved the image of Xiao Zhao's maid in his very small brain nucleus, but this time he didn't use Cai Dao's instructions to lead people into the courtyard.
Cai Dao instructed Cai Ban to gather everyone together to greet the chief steward.
The scale of Xiao Zhao's entourage this time has grown a little bigger, and at the end of the team is followed by four or five men in tattered clothes, each holding something in his hand, Cai Dao fixed his eyes and saw that it was the kind of tool he wanted.
It is very likely that these people are the craftsmen under the overseer, but in this era, the treatment of these craftsmen is also a little worse, and they only wear these torn and thin rotten clothes in such a cold weather.
Cai Dao couldn't help but feel sorry for these craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately, he was now a small official and couldn't change anything. Putting the cranky thoughts out of the brain, it was important to do the right thing now, so he commanded: "Big flower, big bucket, go and get what those people have in their hands." Let's go, everyone goes to the gate. ”
Those craftsmen refused to let go at first, but it can be seen that Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, so he had to hand over everything to Hua Qian and Cai Bucket.
Those things don't look big, but they are all made of fine iron, and they are dead.
Among the people present, in addition to Hua Qiqi and Cai Bucket, only Gonggong Hu and himself could hold them. Father-in-law Hu didn't care about anything other than his own work, and Cai Dao was too lazy to move.
Everyone came to the gate of the nursery school.
Soon, those tools were placed in front of Cai Dao's eyes.
