Chapter 126: A lot of pay
Guo An said: "Your Highness, don't you think that this kind of glass is much better than those window paper?"
Not only is the glass stronger than window paper, but it's also bright and doesn't drill into the wind. ”
"Huh......"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di looked at the piece of glass on the table, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"If this thing is installed on the window instead of window paper, it is definitely a hundred times better than window paper."
Saying that, Zhu Di subconsciously asked: "It's just that how is the glass installed on the window?" ”
"This matter is the easiest thing to do!"
Guo An chuckled directly, "According to the size of the glass, dig out a hole in the window, and then two thin wooden boards directly clamp the glass and fix it on the window!" ”
Zhu Di immediately urged: "In this way, you will quickly calcine hundreds of pieces of glass for us and put them in our palace." ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhong Huo and the craftsmen were ecstatic in their hearts, and hurriedly responded with excitement on their faces.
They didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yan would also use glass.
……
On the way back from the iron smelter.
Guo An hesitated for a long time, but still said: "Your Highness, Weichen has thought all the way, but he still feels that it is inappropriate. ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, he was thinking, how many pieces of glass should be installed in those palaces in his Yan Wang's Mansion?
Although his palaces were large, when it was cloudy or the sun was setting in the west, the palace would be very dark, and he could read the documents a little blurry.
And now, not long after he came from the Iron Metallurgical Institute, Guo An took the lead in opposing it?
"Into the...... What does Guo Qing mean? ”
Zhu Di just wanted to be angry, and then thought that Guo An came up with all this, so he was patient and prepared to listen to Guo An's opinion first.
Guo An slowly explained: "Your Highness, Weichen thinks that it is better to install the glass calcined by the iron smelting on the farm first. ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Di stared at Guo An tightly, with a look of you giving me a satisfactory explanation.
Guo An said: "Your Highness Mingjian, Weichen doesn't think that the farm is more important than your Yanwang Mansion.
But I think that these craftsmen are calcining this kind of transparent glass for the first time, and Weichen doesn't dare to guarantee whether they can calcine more clear and transparent glass in the future?
On top of that, it was the first time that these craftsmen had used glass to install windows in their homes.
They don't have any experience yet, what if they install it in His Highness's palace, and then install it on the farm, and suddenly find that there is a more beautiful installation method? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Or, in the end, after the glass calcined out again by the iron smelting institute turned out to be more beautiful and clear than this stubble, what should be done with the glass installed in His Highness's palace?
So, should the glass in His Royal Highness's palace be replaced again? ”
Zhu Di said directly: "I want to be replaced!" ”
Guo An said: "Then it is better to wait for the glass on the farm to be installed, and then install the glass for His Royal Highness Yanwang Palace." ”
Zhu Di glanced at Guo An suspiciously, "Guo Qing is sure that he doesn't think that the greenhouse of the farm is more important than our Yanwang Palace?" ”
Guo An hurriedly looked aggrieved, "Your Highness really misunderstood Weichen, Weichen's loyalty to His Highness can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the world can be expressed!" ”
Zhu Di suddenly looked disgusted, "Okay, okay, you have a long history of the Yan Palace, when did you learn to deal with those traitorous ministers, and your words are so numb?" ”
"Hehe, Your Highness misunderstood, what Wei Chen said is sincere, as for those traitorous ministers, they are all women!" Guo An said with a smile.
Immediately, he reacted and quickly gathered his mind, his descendants of Guo Taishi would say such flattering words?
In order to allow Zhu Laosi to install glass on the farm first and build a greenhouse, he really humiliated himself and lost his personality!
Hopefully, the greenhouse can be successful at one time, just enough to eat vegetables for yourself.
……
Day 2 begins.
After Guo An ordered Mao in the morning, after informing Zhu Di, he took Zhu Liang and some guards directly to the farm.
On the farm, there were already a number of idle veterans on the farm, and they also picked up a load of sheep feces, eggs, chicken feces, and some plant ash that had been dried for many days, and scattered them evenly into the ridges.
At the same time, the farmers in the Zhuangzi of Yanwangfu began to water the ridges of the fields one by one and sow rapeseeds.
"A few brothers, it's going to be winter soon, why does His Royal Highness King Yan still grow these courgettes, celery, coriander, eggplant, and leeks?"
"Yes, when the time comes, when it snows, the land will freeze completely, and even if these vegetables grow, they will all freeze to death!"
"As for the low walls built around it, could it be that they are used to keep out the cold wind?"
"That's not going to work either!"
"Yes, this is burying fertilizer and watering, His Royal Highness King Yan really won't be ready to grow vegetables in winter, right?"
"Don't chew the root of your tongue and work with peace of mind, as for whether you can grow vegetables, it's not your business to wait for the old man, chew the root of your tongue indiscriminately, be careful to let Shangguan hear it, and deduct your salary!"
"Yes, yes, don't you dare to deduct our wages......"
With a few words of reprimand from a steward, some farmers suddenly shuddered, bowed their heads and concentrated on their work, not daring to speak.
Farming for His Highness and paying wages is a good thing that they will not throw away.
In the distance, Zhu Liang was also full of worry, "Guo Changshi, this is also a normal way to grow vegetables, can this really grow vegetables in winter?" ”
"Then I don't know if Zhu Baihu has any other planting methods?"
Guo An asked curiously.
"The last general is ashamed!" Zhu Liang hurriedly sneered.
"Since there isn't, then don't ask questions again, otherwise the next time the official wants to do something new, he will definitely not tell you in advance."
Guo An said indignantly.
He's really annoyed.
"Aren't we just building a greenhouse and wanting to grow vegetables to eat in winter? It's good for you to catch the official and ask questions every day.
After this question, that one asks; That one is finished, this one continues to ask!
The point is, you come over, it's just a few words. The greenhouse has not been built, and the rapeseed has not been buried in the soil, so how can the official know whether he can grow vegetables in the end?
Am I not a fairy who can predict the future? ”
"Hehe, Guo Changshi may not know, now Guo Changshi is not much different from those immortal figures in the eyes of these people?" Zhu Liang said with a smile.
"If this official is an immortal figure, then what kind of character should His Highness be?" Guo An looked at Zhu Liang with a smile.
"Your Highness is naturally a ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Liang suddenly covered his mouth, his face full of panic.
"Guo Changshi forgives his sins, and the last general has lost his word!"
"Alright, we're not people like you with a mouth looser than your crotch!"
Guo An glared at Zhu Liang, and said unhurriedly: "Please also remember Zhu Baihu, we just want to make our lives better, dress more comfortably, and live warmer."
As for these things we do, unless outsiders know the inside story, please don't say a word about Zhu Baihu.
Even if it is those officials in the house, Zhu Baihu must keep his mouth shut and no one should reveal it.
Otherwise, when the vegetables are planted, Zhu Baihu's share will always be less than that of others! ”
"Guo Changshi, this is His Highness's farm......" Zhu Liang whispered.
Guo An sneered, "But we can advise His Highness, Zhu Baihu thinks His Highness will listen to this official's words?" ”
Zhu Liang instantly smiled with a smile on his face, "Guo Changshi, rest assured, the last general will definitely keep his mouth shut, and no one will say a word." ”
"That's right!"
Guo An's face also returned to smile, and he gently patted Zhu Liang's shoulder, "Zhu Baihu, you have to think about it, this is a hundred acres of vegetables."
Yes, a hundred acres can indeed grow a lot of vegetables.
However, this is to grow vegetables in winter, in case some vegetables will freeze to death, and some will not grow again, then how many vegetables can be grown in this hundred acres?
And, think about it, how scarce are vegetables in the cold winter?
How many officials are there in King Yan's mansion? How many generals like Zhu Baihu are there? And how many officials are there in Peiping Province?
In addition, veterans of the battlefield such as Song Guogong and Ying Guogong are also in Beiping Mansion.
If these people knew that even if His Royal Highness intended to give Zhu Baihu more vegetables to eat, under the request of so many people, how many vegetables could His Royal Highness King Yan squeeze out? ”
"Moreover, if the vegetables are really grown, why can't Your Highness send some to His Majesty Ying Tianfu to fulfill his filial piety?
Then, there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Zhongshan Palace......"
With Guo An's words, Zhu Liang's face became more and more ugly.
He understands those people's cravings for vegetables in winter better than Guo An.
If those people really knew that His Royal Highness King Yan was growing such a large piece of vegetables on the farm, then they would have to transfer all the three guards of Yanshan and guard them day and night.
Thinking about it, Zhu Liang's face turned grim and looked at the users who were planting vegetables, "Guo Changshi, what about these farmers?" ”
"They don't need to pay attention, if anyone is curious, tell them that the official has a whimsical idea and wants to grow some vegetables in the fall!"
Guo An didn't care.
Zhu Liang said helplessly, "But Zhu Baihu, this won't be autumn soon!" ”
Guo An smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's autumn anyway." ”
Zhu Liang said anxiously: "Guo Changshi, the last general always feels that this kind of rhetoric can't deceive these farmers. ”
Guo An said: "Can they believe that we can grow vegetables in winter? ”
Zhu Liang shook his head, "I definitely don't believe it." ”
Guo An smiled, "Yes, they don't believe it, just say it, no one will believe it, just two days later, they will forget about it."
As long as you don't talk about this matter with Your Highness, or the old pawns of the farm, no one will know. ”
Zhu Liang suddenly realized, "Guo Changshi rest assured, the last general will definitely order the old soldiers on the farm." ”
"Hmm!"
Guo An nodded slightly.
……
It actually takes only five days to plant vegetables on 100 acres of fertile land.
When all the farmers left, the entire farm was quickly put under martial law.
Then, a group of craftsmen built a steel frame on the 100 acres of fertile land and installed the glass with the wooden planks that had been prepared.
The dimensions of all steel frames, glass, and wood planks have been determined in advance.
Therefore, it only took five days to build the steel frame with the installation glass.
On the farm, rows of shiny glass houses suddenly appeared.
"Hiss......"
"It's spectacular."
Standing in the greenhouse, Zhu Di's eyes widened directly, his face full of shock.
As for Zhu Liang, there were also a group of guards and veterans, even more round, looking around to see if there were any gaps missing.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Zhu Di frowned slightly, "Guo Qing, it's really much warmer inside than outside!" ”
"It's nature!"
Guo An said: "Your Highness, when the iron furnace burns, it will be even warmer inside!" ”
"So, you can really grow vegetables in the winter?"
Zhu Di's face was full of anticipation.
“……”
Guo An's face was speechless. ……
