"Take us to visit Wanbao Pavilion, Miss Lin is gone, and don't take any sugar candy you want before you go back!"

After walking around, I found that the royal store is really TM's arrogance, and the door face is big enough, enough for others to open three shops. But the backyard is completely beyond Zhao Ming's imagination, can you imagine a football field that is still the size of a football field and completely put it away, and pile up some goods? Still in this East Market, where every inch of land is valuable? Even if the money from renting out is not less than that of the storefront, it is not good to do something and collect black money, the eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Office are also talents, and the emperor said that if he sells things, he will sell things, and his head will not turn at all.

There's really nothing to do in the whole backyard, except for a few tiled houses where the guys live, and two warehouses where goods are piled up. The rest of the place was completely overgrown with weeds, which made Zhao Ming sad. I thought that there would be at least a decent attic in the backyard of the royal industry, but I found out that it was not at all, and there was not much time left for what to use to entertain the rich businessmen who entered Beijing.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Ming knew the situation in the backyard well, and his brows furrowed with a Sichuan character. Seeing that Wang Jien's face was pale, his little heart was beating non-stop, and he didn't know if the master was dissatisfied with his management.

"This, Sixth Highness. Is there something wrong with the slave and maid that has made His Highness angry? The slave must change! ”

"No, it's none of your business." Wang Jien is not a little Guizi, he doesn't understand his temper, and he is cautious in the palace, "It's just a little accident." It's a little different than I thought. ”

"Is this still an accident? My Highness. The scene in front of him also saw that Lin Wan's heart was cold, and he felt more and more fooled by Zhao Ming, "There is nothing, so what is there to receive merchants?" You won't sit on the floor. Or do you open the front door of the store and look at the bottom at a glance? My 150,000 taels won't be wasted, will they? ”

"What are you afraid of if you have money?" Zhao Ming was a little upset but forcibly stubborn, "It's good to have a piece of vacant land, which saves me a lot of cleaning fees." ”

"Your Highness, you can make it easy." After a few days of contact, Lin Wanru took off those cautious and knew Zhao Ming's temper, and he didn't care about these subsections at all, and he didn't scruple about it, "Time, materials, and artificiality, which of the three things does Your Highness have?" ”

In the end, she is the daughter of a merchant, and she has never eaten pork and has seen a pig run, and she said: "The most important thing is time, less than a month is the time to hold the ceremony, and it is too late to have silver." What are you doing? ”

"Renderings."

"Oh, the renderings are too huge, where can you find them manually? What about the material? Even if you search the materials on the market, they may not be enough for what you need, and you dare not dare to count on the materials in other places. It's a knot that can't be solved. If you don't make it smaller, I estimate that it will have to be at least twice as small as it will be able to catch up. ”

"No! You can't imagine how big our upcoming business can be, it's the most basic thing, and only a building that will last a lifetime will give tenants the confidence to follow along. I will not compromise on this, there is always a way to solve difficulties, I will think of this way. Zhao Ming's Virgo perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder attacked, and the plan he was about to start was immediately flawed, which he couldn't accept.

I can't help him. The figure full of confidence and stubbornness almost made Lin Wan fall into a nymphomaniac, and quickly turned his head to extinguish the desire in his heart, and Yinya secretly asked: Just let him be. Isn't it 150,000 taels! The old lady can afford to lose!

"Alright, that's it for today. We're going to get busy tomorrow. Zhao Ming looked up at the sky that was about to darken and said. It looks like I'm going to have to sleep late at night tonight, and the plan has to be made overnight.

The next morning, Zhao Ming, whose eyes were red, went straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, where Wang Qinian was already waiting. According to Zhao Ming's instructions, the little ancestor of Tangtang received the Qiguo Mansion early in the morning. Zhao Ming is now extremely understaffed, and one is counted as one.

"Did you bring anything?"

"Back to Your Highness, put it in the carriage."

"Carry it with me!"

It is not the first time that Zhao Ming, the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, has come here, and he used to ask the Ministry of Industry to help make some gadgets. To have a bit of incense with the officials here. But this is about to be his own manufacturing department, Zhao Ming is visiting for the first time.

The Manufacturing Division is subordinate to the Ministry of Industry. To put it bluntly, the Yu Department is the department that manufactures civilian products, and the Manufacturing Department is the development department of the Yu Department. The status of the Manufacturing Division in the imperial court has always been very embarrassing, originally the Ministry of Industry was the lowest department in the six departments, and the Yu Department is the department that the Ministry of Industry attaches the least importance to, and the Manufacturing Division, the weapon design is not under their control, and the Ministry of War has its own department. The construction of the attic of the palace was occupied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it could only do some dispensable work such as the transformation of agricultural tools and the design of the city wall.

The people in Bianliang City know that the best blacksmith in the entire Great Zhao is in the military department, and the carpenter with the most exquisite craftsmanship is in the internal affairs office. The rest is in the Ministry of Works. The delicate work of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry can't come, and the things made are strong and durable. When it comes to the Yubu Manufacturing Division, the first reaction of the people is, oh, that department, isn't it just a gathering place for carpenters and blacksmiths who design all kinds of chairs, beds, etc.

Usually, the manufacturing department produces the drawings, and the other departments of the Yu department are responsible for manufacturing and then selling. Part of the money received went to the state treasury, and part of it went to the treasury of the Ministry of Industry. Because the production is completely non-governmental supplies, even the Ministry of Industry itself does not attach much importance to it, let alone the imperial court.

"The director of the Ministry of Inferior Workers, Huang Ji, the director of the manufacturing department, has seen the Sixth Highness." Huang is over forty years old, with dark skin, tall and thin, and the Sichuan character lines on his eyebrows are particularly obvious. It seems that he usually thinks too much, and there are obvious calluses on the tiger's mouth, as if he often uses tools, and it seems that he is a technical official who has read books.

"Ming has seen Master Huang." After the greeting ceremony, Zhao Ming didn't have the patience to argue with you, and went straight to the point, "Can you receive the imperial court decree Huang?" ”

Huang Ji nodded, he didn't know what to say in front of a prince by nature.

"That's good, now the manufacturing department is up to me, and Director Huang doesn't mind." Zhao Ming was afraid that Huang Ji would have an opinion about him, the airborne officer, so he asked directly.

"That's how it should be." It seems that Huang Ji is not those officials who like to fight for power and profit, and he is also the one who can fight for power and can withstand the loneliness of the manufacturing department.

"Okay, I'm tired of Huang and recruit all the craftsmen, and this palace has an important task to entrust."

"Yes, Your Highness, wait a minute."

It didn't take long for people to stand outside the hall of the manufacturing department, and Zhao Ming roughly counted not much, that is, dozens, very good. You should be able to afford it.

"Are you all there?" Zhao Ming turned his head and asked Huang Ji, who had come back and stood aside.

"Back to Your Highness, except for those who are sick and resting, all the masters are already here."

"Master? Is there anyone else in the Manufacturing Division? ”

"Your Highness, although our manufacturing department is not engaged in production, we always have to make samples for trial, and there are more than 500 apprentices, helpers, and servants. This place could not stand up to the lowly position, so they were not called. ”

I'll go, there are still 500 people to raise, Zhao Ming almost fell, can you finish talking at once.

After calming down, Zhao Ming walked in front of the masters, Wang Qinian had already stacked the boxes that Zhao Ming ordered to bring in a row, and Zhao Ming lightly ordered Wang Qinian: "Open it." Pour it out! ”

After a dazzling white light, there was an irrepressible exclamation from the craftsmen. I saw Wang Qinian's subordinates working together to pour boxes of silver at Zhao Ming's feet, and a small silver mountain was formed after a while. In the sunlight, the silver-white light pierced the eyes of the craftsmen.

"I'm Zhao Ming! The sixth prince of Da Zhao. Zhao Ming stepped on the silver mountain, pointed to the craftsman with one hand, and was like a robber leader who robbed his house, "From today on, you are all under my control, I am responsible for your eating, drinking, and Lazar, if you have any grievances, you can come to me, and I will solve it for you." I, Zhao Ming, don't dare to guarantee anything else, so I promise that as long as you can complete the task I promulgated, you will definitely get more than you think! Guaranteed in the name of my emperor's sixth son! Zhao Ming pressed his hand to stop the noise below.

"Now before you is three thousand taels of silver, and whether you can take it or not depends on your own ability. I have a catalogue here, but I don't know anything about how it was built and what it was supposed to do. The construction time is only twenty days, and the construction must begin after five days, so you will have only one day and night to get the three thousand taels of silver. The construction method, steps, materials and manpower of the entire attic are all calculated. As long as this attic can rise from the ground in twenty days, you will not care about the three thousand taels of silver. ”

"If the materials and manpower can't keep up and the attic can't be completed on time, what about Your Highness?" A dull voice sounded in the crowd, but no one dared to come out.

Zhao Ming didn't care, it takes a lot of courage to question a prince: "I, Zhao Ming, put my words here." If it is manpower, and there is a problem with the materials that causes the delay in time, you will divide the three thousand taels of silver. I won't take this money back and put it here like this, can you take it while you're not here! ”

The masters below gathered around, first looking at the renderings drawn by Zhao Ming, there were many discussions, and even Huang Ji, the main matter, couldn't help frowning, the twenty-day construction cycle was too short, and the drawings were too complicated.

The renderings drawn by Zhao Ming are simply a circle. The main thing is a majestic attic, with a semi-circular stage in front of it, and a small room with baffles on each side. These small rooms are not of the same size as they face the stage, and the outermost circle is a row of conjoined attics, arranged like a belbelade. In the middle, a ten-meter-wide avenue leads directly to the stage.

It is not complicated in the eyes of such a master, and the most cumbersome thing is the attic of the main body. I can't bear this area is a bit amazing, and it can be regarded as the size of a palace in the palace.

"Your Highness, I have a very serious question I would like to ask Your Highness." Huang Ji discussed with his master craftsmen and had a rough estimate in his heart.

"You speak out."

"This building is similar to the combination of a folk observation pavilion and a theater, and in terms of technical difficulty, our manufacturing department has a way to solve it. One person is responsible for a period of time, and there is still time for construction. After all, my manufacturing department still has a large number of drawings of palace buildings, that is..."Huang Ji was a little reluctant to speak, for fear of angering His Highness.

"That's good, what's the difficulty!"

Huang Ji gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "To put it bluntly, engineering is three things, artificial, material, and device. I have the devices to build a house, but in terms of labor and materials, I said bluntly, and the labor is easy to do, but it costs more than two more silver, but even if this material is searched all over the capital, it is not enough, and it is against His Royal Highness's time to transport it from other places. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have plans for materials. You just need to arrange the manpower and the construction period. Five days later, the materials are guaranteed to arrive at the construction site, and then organize manpower on-site investigation, and the required silver taels were reported to me in detail yesterday! ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Immediately arranged. ”

"Okay, after the report is written, you give it to Wang Qinian, and he has a way to send it to me." Zhao Ming stood next to Wang Qinian, who was sneering, with his mouth on his lips, "I'll go and get this material done now." ”
