Han Fei came out of the imperial study and walked slowly along the corridor in the palace, but his mind was thinking about the "collapse of the imperial tomb" accident reported by the eunuch just now. This imperial mausoleum must have been built for the Emperor Taishang, but it was just ...... What is the reason for the repeated collapse of the imperial tomb?

The construction of the imperial mausoleum is a huge project, in which the benefits are self-evident, has always been a project that senior officials compete for, once the construction is completed according to the predetermined plan, it is a political and economic harvest. If there is an accident, it will also be severely punished.

Speaking of which, it has nothing to do with Han Feimao, and there are special officials responsible for the construction of the imperial tomb, and generally at least officials at the level of squire serve as supervisors. But he keenly felt that there seemed to be an opportunity to be found.

Han Fei walked out of the palace gate, and the family of the Han Mansion immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, are you going back to the house or going to the Hanlin Academy?" ”

"Go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry!"

Han Fei rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and walked straight to the gate, although the official guarding the door did not know him, but when he saw that he was wearing a five-grade official uniform, he only came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to do business.

"This lord, if you are here to find Lord Shangshu, please come back in the afternoon, Lord Shangshu has already entered the palace to discuss matters!"

"Thank you for informing me, this official is here to find Lord Lang Jia!"

The officer was stunned, and wondered why Han Fei, an official of the fifth grade, had to run in person when he was looking for an official to do something, but this was not something that he could ask a little official. He hurriedly reminded: "My lord, turn left when you enter the door, Lord Jia's duty room is in the left wing!" ”

Han Fei came to the Ministry of Industry for the first time today, and he really didn't know where Jia Zheng's duty room was, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for informing!" ”

The Ministry of Industry is a large department of the imperial court, involving all aspects of national construction, and there are many branches below. Han Fei walked to the left compartment, and saw the door numbers of various departments, and looked back and forth several times before finding Jia Zheng's department in a corner.

Han Fei walked outside Jia Zheng's room, and heard many people inside saying hello to Jia Zheng, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that it was because he was appointed by the emperor to marry. He smiled faintly and walked slowly into the duty room.

Several officials standing near the door didn't know Han Fei, and they were all stunned when they saw him walk in abruptly.

Jia Zheng was also stunned when he saw Han Fei for the first time, and then asked, "Fei'er, aren't you in the palace, why did you come to the Ministry of Industry?" ”

"Ah, it turned out to be Lord Han, congratulations!" The other officials immediately understood, and after saying goodbye, they withdrew with interest.

Han Fei closed the door, sat down on the chair opposite Jia Zheng, and said, "Just now the guards entered the palace to report that the imperial tomb collapsed, and the emperor was furious!" ”

Jia Zheng exclaimed: "Ah, the imperial tomb has collapsed again? Alas, another group of officials is going to be punished! ”

Han Fei nodded and said: "The emperor has ordered Jinyi Mansion to jail all the officials who built the imperial mausoleum, I came here this time to ask what is going on with this imperial mausoleum, why did it collapse again and again?" ”

"Why do you care about this? The construction of the imperial mausoleum is now a taboo in Beijing, people are afraid to avoid it, this matter has nothing to do with you, you stay in the Hanlin Academy, don't ask for trouble! ”

"I'll just ask, the emperor has ordered me to enter the palace to serve with me, I want to know a little more, to prevent the emperor from asking, I don't know anything!"

"Ah, this is the emperor's close minister, the emperor treats you so seriously, you must not live up to the emperor's high expectations!"

Jia Zheng looked excited, instructed, and said: "The imperial tomb has been built since the reign of the emperor, and it has been sixteen years, and most of the projects have been completed, but this last wall, it has not been built for three years, and each time the construction has just been completed, it will collapse after a long time...... Alas! ”

"How long is this wall, and why is it so difficult to repair?"

"The wall is not very long, only about 300 zhang, the difficulty is that the foundation is soft, and the mountain is easy to permeable, and it can't bear the weight of the wall!"

"No matter how soft the foundation is, there will always be a way to overcome it after three years, and with the lessons of the first two failures, this time I don't know how to build, why did the collapse accident happen again?"

"I don't know exactly how to deal with it, but I heard that this time the soft foundation has been dug up and the foundation stone has been refilled, and it is said that it should not collapse again, so I can't think of ......it."

Han Fei pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if the Ministry of Industry has a topographic map of the imperial tomb?" ”

"Find it for the father!"

Not long after, Jia Zheng took a file and handed it to Han Feidao: "The drawings and materials of the imperial tomb are all here!" ”

Han Fei flipped through it slightly and took out the topographic map of the mountain where the imperial tomb was located, but unfortunately the drawings of this era were too simple, and he could see the general direction, as well as the main mountains and rivers around the imperial tomb.

He went through the other materials of the imperial tomb again, and transcribed the important contents and topographical maps.

"I'm quitting!"

"It's time for dinner, it's not too late to leave after eating here!"

"No, they must be waiting for me in the house!"

Han Fei walked out of the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and immediately ordered the coachman to hurry up and return home. As soon as he returned to the Han Mansion, he walked quickly into the single courtyard that was the headquarters of the Purple Mansion. After Ling'er escorted Xue Baochai back to Jinling, it was garrisoned by Qinglong.

"Qinglong, you personally go to the Imperial Mausoleum, draw the entire mountain-shaped landform with a sketch method, the more detailed the better, and then collect a few mountain stone samples from the collapsed area, and you must rush back before dawn tomorrow!"

"Master, the little one obeys!"

Han Fei rushed to the study again, took out a file from the secret cabinet where the secret documents were stored, and walked into the backyard.

"Is the master back? The princess is also here, everyone will wait for you to eat......"

The woman who was originally talking and laughing in the flower hall suddenly calmed down when she saw Han Fei's calm face and looked at him in surprise.

Han Fei ignored everyone's expressions, handed the file in his hand to Liu Rushi, and said: "If so, immediately after the meal, you order someone to go out of the city to visit a suitable kiln factory, the best one with a quarry next to it, buy it at a high price, and then mobilize capable craftsmen to do it according to the plan on the file, don't consider the cost, you must fire a suitable product within a month!" This matter is very important, it must be kept secret and fast, you tell the craftsmen, the Han family will reward the meritorious people! ”
