Shen Bingzhu wrote a report to Kangxi to study something that could strengthen the embankment. Liu Yiyi also asked to participate in the research.

Kangxi is upset by floods every year, if such a thing can really be developed, it can play a role when natural disasters come, and the people can suffer less from the people's suffering.

The prince has been anxious lately because his aides have embezzled part of the disaster relief funds, including his grandfather's family.

These people have no bottom line, they want to make money, like Qiqige Lao Qi is trying to make money, why do they have to do anything on the disaster relief silver?

Although the fourth child is loyal to him, the fourth person is very upright, and if he finds out that the disaster relief money was made by his staff, he will be very angry.

If the fourth child knows, it is equivalent to Huang Ama knowing.

With the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother returning to the capital, they handed over all the things they investigated and the people they found to Kangxi.

Kangxi was very angry when he saw that these contents were consistent with the contents he sent out for internal and external investigations, but he chose to forbear.

Once it was spread out, it had a great impact on the prince, so Kangxi chose not to keep it secret, and directly executed those who embezzled the silver.

At the entrance of the noon vegetable market in the capital, many people were killed.

In such an atmosphere, the capital is full of rumors.

Not only are there fewer people on the streets, but business has also suffered.

However, this matter does not affect Liu Yiyi and Shen Bingzhu, who are conducting a new round of experiments.

Liu Yiyi and Shen Bingzhu wore masks with those craftsmen and carried out calculations and experiments over and over again in the kiln factory.

Although there are ready-made methods, it is not so easy to realize them into real things.

In addition, the collection of various raw materials, and the accuracy of these materials, are different from those collected today.

So in order to be able to get the recipe accurately, they tirelessly experimented time and time again.

They had been on Zhuangzi for two whole months, and Liu Yiyi originally wanted to go to the palace to greet the Queen Mother.

Because of the punishment of corruption criminals, the atmosphere in the capital was weird, the wind was loud, and the palace was also terrified because of Kangxi's anger.

Kangxi did not explicitly punish the prince for disaster relief money, but also reprimanded the prince in other aspects.

Therefore, the Queen Mother didn't want Qiqige to come over, so she specially sent someone to inform Qiqige to stay in Zhuangzi, and when she was notified to come back, she would come back.

Liu Yiyi can understand the queen mother's maintenance, and she is very grateful.

At this time, Shen Bingzhu's clothes were covered with dust on his face, and so was Liu Yiyi.

At this time, Liu Yiyi was braiding two braids, her face was covered with dust, and the original color was almost invisible on her clothes.

Shen Bingzhu looked at Liu Yiyi with some distress, "Don't let you come over, you just come over!" ”

Liu Yiyi smiled, because she was wearing a mask, so she spoke in a loud voice, "Because I want to help you!" Others don't know how to calculate, but I will! Let's get these things out as soon as possible, and while it's just July, we can still produce some of them for paving roads and building bridges! ”

Shen Bingzhu reached out and touched Liu Yiyi's head, "Okay, then let's work together!" ”

The craftsmen saw that the prince's elder brother and the noble lady were so serious and hardworking, and they had no reason not to work hard and not be careful.

The cement that came out of the kiln was lighter in color and more delicate than last time.

Although it was able to solidify before, it can easily break when hit hard, or it will crack when the sun is exposed.

Therefore, it is necessary to continue to improve the formula, and I hope that the cement that has just come out can be successful.

Kangxi has been depressed lately and often outbursts. It is difficult to get out of the palace to breathe, but when I get outside the palace, I can't raise my interest.

Kangxi looked at Li Dequan, "Li Dequan, where are you going today?" ”

Li Dequan, as the first manager of Kangxi's side, knows Kangxi's every move and recent state very well.

The emperor is annoyed by everything now, and he, the general manager of his body, is also worried.

Since the emperor hates the people and things in the capital, then don't you just say that the people and things that are not in the capital?

Not to mention, Li Dequan really thought of it. The people who made meritorious contributions to the whole thing from beginning to end, except for the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, are Qiqige and the seventh elder brother.

Li Dequan smiled slightly and whispered, "Brother Qi and Miss Qiqige have been studying that thing called cement in the remote Zhuangzi for two months!"

It's still early today, why don't you go over there and have a look? Maybe the Seventh Elder Brother will really be able to research something to strengthen the dam! ”

Hearing this, Kangxi felt a little more comfortable, at least one son didn't like the power in the court, and only thought about how to solve problems for him!

Kangxi nodded, "Then let's ride over now!" ”

Because it is very remote, there is not enough time to take the carriage back and forth, and it takes more than an hour to ride a horse.

So the group left the capital on horseback and went to Zhuangzili, a very remote suburb.

Originally, people from outside wanted to go in to report, but they were stopped by Kangxi, he wanted to see how Yinyou conducted the experiment?

When these subordinates came to the kiln factory with Kangxi, Li Dequan and those guards, they saw that the people inside were all disgraced.

Kangxi couldn't even recognize which of these people was his son, but he could recognize Qiqige, because only one of them had two braids.

He had only seen such a hairstyle on Kikige's head, and there were two maids not far away, looking anxiously at Kikige.

"As soon as the girl gets busy, she forgets everything!"

"Yes, if the lady sees the girl, then the two of us will be punished again!"

……

The two maids whispered, worried, but at the same time admired their girls for being so diligent.

Kangxi looked at Qiqige, where is the white appearance when he was in the capital? Now it's like a mud monkey, with dust on your hair, eyebrows, and even your eyelashes.

Kikige held a pen in his hand and kept calculating and recording.

At this time, Shen Bingzhu was pouring water into the cement, pouring sand and stones, constantly stirring, seeking the most suitable strength.

There were more than a dozen piles on the ground, different proportions, different numbers.

Kangxi looks like a familiar figure like a mud monkey, it is his own son Yinyou.

Seeing that this son was like a mud monkey in this workshop for more than two months, his heart was slightly sour.

After doing this, Shen Bingzhu sealed this piece and waited until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to check the results.

After coming out, Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi saw Kangxi standing at the door.

Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi were both stunned and hurriedly saluted.

"Huang Ama auspicious!"

"The emperor is auspicious!"

It's just that they are all wearing masks and their speech is not clear.

"Get up." Kangxi looked at Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi, "I've suffered you." ”

Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi took off their masks, and the place covered by the mask was clean, "Huang Ama, why are you here?" The son was ashamed that he had not yet found a better ratio, but the son believed that he would soon succeed. ”
