Chapter 302 Huang Xue's new invention
So, Huang Xue also put forward her own suggestions to the king of Shang, after all, this Lutai is in the harem, and she, the future queen, cannot be considered arrogant to make suggestions.
Her words had some effect on the Shang king, but it was still not enough to make the Shang king make up his mind, and after overcoming some psychological obstacles with her help, the Shang king's concerns were mainly about money. To put it simply, in the eyes of King Shang, the current Lutai is not worth eight million in his heart, and if it can be cheaper, he is willing to finish it.
Huang Xue was a little speechless, the king of Shang in the TV series is a local tyrant who is full of money, but why is this one of his own? Could it be that the fox demon Su Daji really has such a big influence on him? Or is it because he is not a loser enough, so he is used to picking the door?
So, the matter was deadlocked.
Speaking of which, if Fei Zhong is willing to lose some money, it is estimated that he can finish Lutai with five million savings, but Fei Zhong is not stupid, he was willing to lose money because of competition. Now that Chonghou Hu has run away, he is a real oligarch, and he wants to make him lose money in this matter, but he refuses to do anything.
On March 15, it rained heavily, and it took three days of rain to end.
Huang Xue saw that the sky was clear, so she came to the Imperial Garden alone to relax, but saw that after three days of heavy rain, the Imperial Garden was now a piece of mud, so she was ready to wander elsewhere.
But when she was about to leave, she accidentally saw two small figures squatting there in a corner of the imperial garden, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be Yin Quan and Spring Equinox squatting there playing with mud.
It turned out that Yin Quan had also been suffocated in the past two days, and today when he saw that the soil in the garden was poured softly, he wanted to pinch the mud and play. It's just that the mud is dirty, and it's really indecent to play, so he didn't dare to look for Huang Xue, but pulled the spring equinox to accompany him.
Huang Xue saw that the two were having fun, so she leaned in and watched the two play. Yin Quan looked up and saw Huang Xue, so he showed Huang Xue some of the small animals he had pinched out, which attracted Huang Xue's praise.
But when Huang Xue saw those clay figures and remembered the things in Lutai these days, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind. She was suddenly a little excited, if there was this thing, I was afraid that it wouldn't even cost three million to repair Lutai.
The thing that Huang Xue thought of was actually extremely common in later generations, that is, bricks.
Nowadays, the building materials used to build Lutai are mainly stones, and stones, whether mining, processing or transportation, are extremely expensive, and most of the money required to build Lutai is actually on this material.
But bricks, she has not been uncommon since she was a child, the cost is low, there is no need to process, and the construction is also very convenient, it is the main building material in later generations, but it has not been invented yet.
Huang Xue grew up in the countryside, and there are three or four brick kilns in the village, and those places are also the favorite places for children to play, so she is really familiar with the process of making bricks. The process of this thing is extremely simple, there is no technical threshold at all, and now the bricks are burned in this great Shang Dynasty, and the contribution to the development of buildings in the future should be quite large.
Thinking of this, Huang Xue suddenly couldn't wait, so he hurriedly asked a few attendants who were responsible for the daily maintenance of the palace to come and explain the process of brick-making, and let them go to the test.
Five days later, the attendant returned with two finished products, to Huang Xue's disappointment, the first test failed, the burned bricks were very crispy, and a large piece would fall off if he pinched it hard, and he didn't know if it was because the heat was not mastered well, or because the soil was not selected well, or something else. Sure enough, it's one thing to know, it's another thing to do, and although she has theoretical knowledge, it seems that it is difficult to translate it into reality.
She casually sent those attendants to continue the experiment, and she thought hard in the palace for a long time, but suddenly thought that she was really stupid, and there was obviously a more suitable person to do this, but she hadn't thought of him before.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked the king of Shang to ask for something important to discuss, because she was going to use one of her privileges - she wanted to summon Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya will definitely not burn bricks, but he is a person who cultivates immortals, and he must know something about alchemy. The most important thing in alchemy is the mastery of the heat, so if you let Jiang Ziya test burning bricks, you should be the most suitable candidate.
When the king of Shang heard that Huang Xue was going to ask Jiang Ziya to make something that would greatly reduce the cost of Lutai, he was a little suspicious in his heart. But fortunately, Huang Xue had indeed made some strange inventions before, and the longevity meat and Liuyun Brew she created were still bestsellers in the Great Shang Dynasty, so although he was skeptical, he also agreed to let Huang Xue experiment.
Ziya listened to Huang Xue describe the role of bricks, and was taken aback, you must know that the houses of this era are mainly used in soil embryos or wood, the firmness of the soil embryo house has always been worrying, and the wooden house is also plagued by moth-eaten rot and fire.
However, he did not agree to it, but had other worries in his heart.
When he left the Jade Void Palace, the words of Yuan Shi Tianzun were still in his ears, and some things, although they seemed to be blessed for all generations, would also bring many unexpected disadvantages, just like Du Kang making wine. Maybe this thing called bricks will also bring unexpected harm to the people?
So, he told Huang Xue that this method of making bricks was a bit complicated, and he didn't fully understand it, and he needed to think about it for a day, and he could reply to Huang Xue tomorrow whether he was sure to make this thing.
Huang Xue only said that he was cautious by nature and didn't want to promise easily, so he nodded happily and asked him to go back and think about it.
The next day, Ziya came to see Huang Xue again with two dark circles under her eyes and told her that she was willing to try to make bricks.
He didn't sleep all night last night, thinking over and over again what harm this brick might do to the people, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this thing was beneficial and harmless, so he decisively agreed today.
There are naturally disadvantages to brick-making, such as the most important thing is to damage the environment, which Huang Xue knows very well, in the future in 2018, all the brick kilns in the village have been closed by the environmental protection department, and no more production is allowed. However, for this era, this disadvantage is too far away, and even if Ziya is erudite, it is impossible for him to have such a vision to see through three thousand years.
arranged the brick-making to Ziya, Huang Xue no longer worried about this matter, if he couldn't even make such a simple thing, it would be too funny.
As long as Ziya makes bricks, she can not only repair Lutai at a very low cost, but also promote this thing, maybe she will go down in history in the future!
