Chapter 300: Earl Upon Acceptance
The Manchu Dynasty was stunned!
Although the emperor has listened to Han Fei's explanation, he is also shocked when he sees the empirical evidence.
"Your Majesty!" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu hurriedly walked up to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this cement is a militaristic weapon, if the imperial court has this cement, it can build a strong city in a few months, and it will save countless money and grain, and this military weapon must be controlled by the imperial court!" ”
The emperor glanced at Han Fei and said with a smile: "Cement was developed by Han Aiqing, before the construction of the imperial mausoleum, he had reported the role of cement to me, and was willing to dedicate it to the imperial court. ”
"Han Aiqing!"
"Wechen is here!"
The emperor's face was neat, and he said loudly: "Han Aiqing dedicated the secret method of cement, built the imperial mausoleum, and made outstanding achievements. ”
It is natural for Han Fei to be in charge of the cement supervisor, and the increase in grade is also expected by the ministers, but they didn't expect the emperor to not promote Han Fei's grade this time, but he was knighted. The Dahua Dynasty was very strict in conferring knighthoods, and although the earl was the lowest rank, it was also much larger than the courtiers expected. However, if you think about it, you can understand that Han Fei is the emperor's family and a person who is a close confidant of the emperor, and it is not surprising that he has made such a great contribution.
Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, had a gleam in his eyes, and he intended to come out to stop it, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea again.
If Han Fei wants to be qualified to marry a flat wife, obtaining a knighthood is naturally the most wanted, but in front of everyone's eyes, he can't just accept it calmly.
"Holy Heaven, never!" Han Fei knelt on the ground and said: "The saint's grace to Wechen is high and deep, and Wechen is grateful, but Wechen is young and knowledgeable, how dare he accept the Lord?" Please take back your destiny! ”
"I have made up my mind, and I can't refuse!" The emperor personally helped Han Fei up and said: "Han Aiqing is indeed young, but his merits to the court far exceed that of many ministers. ”
"Your Majesty, Wechen is ashamed!"
"Han Aiqing, the cement supervisor must be formed as soon as possible, what kind of people are needed and how much food is needed, Aiqing will draw up a fold for me!"
"Wechen obeys!"
Han Fei completed the controversial imperial mausoleum project in just two months, which once again detonated the public opinion circle in the capital. According to well-informed sources, the reason why Han Fei was able to complete the project so quickly and smoothly was because of the use of a treasure called "cement".
What cement is, even many ministers do not know, not to mention those small people in the capital, so that it is false, and finally it is spread to be divine, and there are even rumors that cement is equivalent to the mythical soil.
The tide of cement in the capital is too big, and in the face of this wave of public opinion, Han Feijia is nothing to be crowned an earl.
Knowing that Han Fei was going back to the house, the women of the Han family were waiting at home, and even the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi did not avoid suspicion and came to the backyard of the Han Mansion.
"The master is back home!"
The ninth princess, who greeted her together, hurriedly corrected: "Now the eldest brother is an uncle!" ”
"Come on, don't be an old man, our family doesn't pay so much attention to it, quickly tell the maids to fetch water, I haven't taken a bath for almost twenty days, and my body is about to form a crust!"
"Giggle......
The women laughed, surrounded Han Fei into the room, took clothes, prepared towels, prepared bath buckets, and got busy.
"Okay, you go to the flower hall to talk, I can't take a shower and need you to serve so much!" Han Fei saw that these women were not leaving, so he hurried to drive people away.
Duran snorted and said, "Who rarely serves you, we just want to see what your dignified loyal uncle has become of it!" ”
Han Fei was not used to being watched by so many women taking a bath, so he finally drove them away. He is at the construction site of the imperial mausoleum these days, and his mood is also nervous, after all, cement is the first time to use, in the end, he has no experience to follow, fortunately everything is as he wishes. Now when I come home, I relax and lie in the warm bathtub, and I feel like I want to sleep.
"Uncle, the ancestor of Jiafu, the old lady, the young master Baoyu, come to the mansion to congratulate the uncle on his ascension!" A maid stood at the door to report.
Han Fei opened his eyes and closed his eyes slightly, and said, "None of them are outsiders, I'll be here in a while!" ”
Han Fei was dressed neatly, came to the flower hall, saw Jia's mother present, and said busily: "Why did you alarm grandmother?" ”
Jia Mu looked at Han Fei and smiled kindly: "Now everyone outside is saying that Fei'er is amazing, he got the treasure cement, and he was crowned as a noble, the old man came to see the strangeness, what kind of treasure is the cement?" ”
The ninth princess Zhang Wanyi also said: "Yes, big brother, this cement is a treasure in the end, and this palace also wants to see it!" ”
"That cement is just ash powder, except for getting dust, there's nothing to look at!" Han Fei saw that everyone was surprised, so he said: "The remaining cement from the kiln factory has been transported back to the house, you can follow and take a look, pay attention, you must wear a mask, so as not to suck it into your body!" ”
Han Fei walked out of the backyard and learned that Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu were in the second hall, so he walked over.
"Second brother-" Jia Baoyu saw Han Fei and immediately greeted him.
"I just took a shower and said a few words to my grandmother, you can go to the study with me to sit!"
Walking into the study, as soon as he sat down, Jia Zheng said: "Fei'er, my father was worried about you, but I didn't expect you to burn a sacred object such as cement, this cement didn't come up with it at a moment, right?" ”
Han Fei said: "Yes, I have long planned to burn cement, and I have been waiting for a suitable opportunity, cement is an object related to the national economy and people's livelihood, not a people's house can be in charge, it must be dedicated to the imperial court, but if it is not verified, no one will believe in the miraculous effect of cement." This Imperial Tomb is the opportunity I was waiting for, but I didn't reveal it before it was a big deal! ”
"For the Father to know!" Jia Zheng flicked his short beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, you said that you would make meritorious service within a year and obtain the qualification to marry a flat wife, but you didn't expect that you would do it in just over two months, which is a big surprise for your father!" ”
"This was a fluke......
"This is your real talent, not a fluke!" Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "Fei'er, what do you think about the Holy Lord's canonization of you as a loyal and righteous uncle?" ”
"This ...... It is indeed a bit surprising that the Holy Lord has crowned me as a loyal and righteous uncle......"
"Actually, it's not surprising that you have made such a great contribution, and you must be rewarded, but after all, you are still young, and it is not appropriate to give you an official promotion too high, so you can only be rewarded with a knighthood. Moreover, you are the younger brother of Concubine De, the husband of the ninth princess, and a relative of the emperor, and it is normal to be knighted. ”
Jia Zheng paused for a moment, and then said: "My father came here today, firstly, to congratulate you on your knighthood, and secondly, to remind you of one thing. The emperor asked you to set up a cement supervisor, and you should formulate detailed regulations, but don't make your own decisions about the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and officials above the chief must be appointed by the imperial court, otherwise, it will not only leave a bad impression on the emperor, but also give political enemies a handle to attack! ”
