As the saying goes, where there are women, there are rivers and lakes, and the backyard of the Han Mansion is full of elites among women, and it is even more dramatic. Han Fei shouted that he couldn't bear it, so he went out to visit relatives and friends under the pretext of excuse. He first visited Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as well as Xu Wen, the waiter of the household department, and Wei Zhan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and then accompanied Xue Zhen to go shopping on the street.

"Second brother, I'm going to leave tomorrow!"

"Ah, in such a hurry? The eldest brother finally came to Beijing for a trip, and it is not too late to stay for a few more days before leaving! ”

"No, it's already the end of October, and I plan to go to Lingnan before the end of the year to arrange the planting of rubber trees.

Han Fei knew that Xue Zhen was telling the truth, so he said: "It's okay, big brother, go with confidence, Qin'er has my own care in the capital, you and your mother-in-law don't have to worry!" ”

"Qin'er lives in the Han Mansion, I don't have anything to worry about, when I leave, I plan to let the steward stay and repair the old mansion, and you will tell the steward to take care of it when you arrive!"

"The Xue family's old mansion was left by the ancestors, it is indeed time to repair and repair, I will let Lin Quan send someone to assist!"

"Okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll come over for your big wedding during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year!"

"Hmm!" Han Fei pondered for a moment, and then said: "Big brother, Baochai is pregnant, she lives alone in Jinling Han Mansion, I don't worry, you take care of it!" ”

"You can rest assured about this, don't say anything else, Baochai is my cousin, and it is also my duty to take care of her, and the eldest aunt is also in Jinling, so I will take care of her!"

After sending Xue Zhen away, Han Fei concentrated on formulating the formation plan of the cement superintendent. As a government agency, the cement supervision is not only in charge of the firing of cement, but also in the storage and storage and development planning of cement kiln plants, etc., which involves a wide range of aspects.

The hardware facilities of the cement superintendent, before this, Han Fei had already designed the plan, plus the experience accumulated during the construction of the imperial tomb, this aspect was quickly formulated. The next is the personnel arrangement, according to the system of the imperial court, the cement supervisor has supervisors, young supervisors, directors and various types of stewards, etc., Han Fei originally wanted to go to the ministries to select the right candidates, after listening to Jia Zheng's advice, he decided to draw up an entry to submit to the emperor, and the court sent personnel.

Now that the cement is available, Han Fei is considering whether other projects should be put on the agenda.

The holiday was over, and Han Fei entered the palace with the prepared strip Chen. He is the emperor's attendant, and he doesn't need to be reported, and he walks directly into the imperial study with the jade plate that passes. The emperor's early dynasty was not over yet, Han Fei put Tiao Chen aside, and flipped through and sorted out the folds as usual.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The emperor walked into the imperial study, saw Han Fei, and said with a smile: "Han Aiqing is here, haven't you eaten yet?" ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, Wechen has already eaten before he came, and the cement supervision strip drawn up by Wechen is displayed on the imperial case, please look at it Shengshang!"

While eating, the emperor flipped through the notes presented by Han Fei, and after a long time, he said: "Han Aiqing, your notes are very detailed, I am ready!" I asked you to choose your own cement supervisor, why didn't you say a word? ”

"Your Majesty's trust in Weichen, Weichen is grateful, but the cement supervisor is the cement supervisor of the imperial court, and the imperial court has its own laws for the appointment and dismissal of officials, how dare Weichen call the shots? Wechen has written down the required personnel requirements clearly, who is specifically appointed, this is the authority of the ministry! ”

"I know that Han Aiqing is loyal, so let's say that Aiqing is the cement supervisor and supervisor, and the other officials are appointed and dismissed by the ministry! Han Aiqing, this cement is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but after all, it is a fresh object, what suggestions does Aiqing have for the use of cement? ”

"Your Majesty, cement can only be used in practice, such as building water conservancy, building bridges and paving roads, building cities, etc., so that the people can truly feel the advantages of cement, and the people will accept it! Of course, the initial cement production is insufficient, it is impossible to carry out large projects, in order to truly implement the national economy and people's livelihood, it is necessary to build cement kiln factories in major county capitals across the country! ”

"Aiqing, to build so many cement kiln factories, it costs too much money and grain, and the treasury is already insufficient, so it is impossible to allocate too much money and grain to the cement superintendent!"

"Your Majesty, when the cement supervisor was first formed, he really needed a batch of funds, and 200,000 silver was enough, and the cement supervisor could make money to expand the kiln factory by himself in the future!"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Aiqing, tell me quickly, how can this cement supervisor make money and expand by himself?" ”

Han Fei couldn't help but slander for a while, this emperor doesn't know how to do business at all, and now cement has been hyped up by public opinion as a divine object, and it will definitely be in short supply as soon as it is put on the market. Of course, he didn't dare to say these words.

He bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, after the cement is fired, it will be wet and deteriorated if it is stored for too long, and it cannot be used, so the amount of reserves cannot be too much, and it must be constantly updated, and the replaced or excess cement can be sold to the people to build houses and courtyards, etc., and the money earned back can expand the scale of cement production." With the increase in production, more money will be earned, and Wechen believes that after three or five years, the cement supervisor will not only not need the imperial court to approve, but also make a lot of money for the imperial court! ”

"Good! Han Aiqing, I will leave the affairs of the cement supervisor to you with full authority! ”

"Wechen obeys! Wechen will live up to His Majesty's trust! ”

Han Fei hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, after having cement, the imperial court can build a blast furnace steelmaking kiln!" ”

"Han Aiqing, doesn't the imperial court have a smelting kiln, what are the advantages of your blast furnace steelmaking?"

"Your Majesty, the quality of the steel smelted by the imperial court is generally not high, mainly because the furnace temperature of the smelting does not meet the requirements of good steel, and the blast furnace will make good steel, once the quality of steel is improved, the armor of the sergeants is not so easy to penetrate, and the firearms are not easy to blow up, and with the improvement of steelmaking technology, iron ships can also be built!"
