Chapter 724: Desperate Rhythm
Everyone was stunned by the sudden change in Baohe Palace. They thought it was a battle, but who knew that Liu Fang was so vulnerable.
But... what the historical draft is, everyone is curious, but they can't guess thoroughly.
Zhu Houzhao was also interested, and looked at Ye Chunqiu with bright eyes and said, "Ye Aiqing, bring the historical draft and show it to me."
Liu Fang was still hesitating freely, and Ye Chunqiu was not polite. After taking the draft of history, Zhang Yong came down from the palace and took the draft of history. In full view of everyone, although he was full of doubts, he did not dare to read the draft of history.
When he was placed on Zhu Houzhao's imperial desk, when Zhu Houzhao took it to take a closer look, he quickly swept across the corner of his eyes. When he saw the words "old woman" and sow... Zhang Yong was also shocked.
Ye Chunqiu is obviously trying his best this time, it is a suicide attack. Once this matter is a big deal, then...
He could not imagine the consequences. If he really wanted to make trouble, who would know if it would involve Duke Qian, and Duke Qian followed the clues to himself...
Thinking of these problems, his expression was extremely difficult to see.
Zhu Houzhao was also surprised to see it, and couldn't help but take a deep breath before calming down.
Obviously, even Zhu Houzhao understood that this matter must not be made public. If it continues, there will be no good results for the palace.
He took a deep breath again, and after a long time, he said, "This matter... let's discuss it again, well, that's it. Today I'm tired, so let's go."
The ministers didn't know what was going on, but they saw that the emperor and the censor Liu Fang's faces were extremely gloomy, and they were confused.
On the contrary, Dai Dabin breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that long-term plans mean that he was safe in the village.
Ye Chunqiu was also glad for Dai Dabin. In fact, this historical draft is just to treat the person with his own way. For the emperor, the best way to deal with the palace is to cut the mess with a quick knife, but once the mess with a quick knife may cause greater "controversy"?
Zhu Houzhao wanted to say goodbye, but Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "Ye Aiqing stays."
So everyone else retreated, and Zhang Yong wanted to stay away, but Zhu Houzhao said, "Parent Zhang, you go and rest too."
Only then did Zhang Yong bow unwillingly: "I will leave."
Only Zhu Houzhao and Ye Chunqiu were left in the hall. Zhu Houzhao took the historical draft and said, "The Fengtian Jingnan Record, which old paper did you pick out this from? The things inside are quite interesting, why is there only one volume?"
Ye Chunqiu thought of many possibilities, but what he didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao's first evaluation of this "strange book" was like this.
"Uh..." Ye Chunqiu was speechless. In a sense, this was indeed a small book with a large number of colorful contents, leading the class of peers for at least five hundred years, which is unprecedented.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of death." Ye Chunqiu changed the topic: "I shouldn't have shown such a book to others..."
Zhu Houzhao called out: "Isn't this not to show it to others? Then Dai Dabin is very familiar with you?" Zhu Houzhao's words seemed a little sour.
Ye Chunqiu had to say in disappointment: "Editor Dai is the same year as the minister..."
Zhu Houzhao did not continue to talk about this topic, so he asked about the Zhenguo Mansion. Hearing that Ye Chunqiu had already made preparations, but the investment was huge. When Ye Chunqiu reported the number, Zhu Houzhao was shocked: "It actually costs 350,000 taels of silver? There is still three thousand craftsmen and nine thousand laborers? This...even if you build a palace, it will not be like this..."
Ye Chunqiu explained patiently: "Your Majesty, the Zhenguo Mansion is only one of them, and the cost is the lowest. If you want to use that piece of land, you must level the land. In addition, a dock should be built in a location close to the canal. The road should be built. Everything must be planned in advance and the workshop can be settled in the future. Otherwise, when you want to change it in the future, you will not be in a hurry. The construction of this road will cost more than 100,000 taels of silver. Of course, this is mainly because of the large investment in advance. If a road is 50,000 taels, then after that, the cost of building a workshop specializing in cement manufacturing will become lower and lower. This includes many early investments in building a cement workshop, recruiting craftsmen, and training."
Although what Ye Chunqiu said was reasonable, Zhu Houzhao was still shocked. It was not until Ye Chunqiu mentioned the workshop and even Sun Qi raised 230,000 taels that Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Houzhao said, "Okay, I said it, everything is up to you, but then again, you should be more attentive to the government, and you can take less care of other things. After a few days, the queen will give birth. You are the benefactor of the child, so I will naturally ask you to accompany me to give birth."
Thinking of Zhu Houzhao's future child, Ye Chunqiu's heart was full of hope. If it were a boy, it means that the future true dragon emperor of the Ming Dynasty is about to be born.
Ye Chunqiu was busy responding: "I obey the order."
After all, Zhu Houzhao was scolded by Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao felt that Ye Chunqiu was a little unemployed. The most important thing at the moment was Zhenguo Mansion, which was Zhu Houzhao's most concerned about.
Since he was urged by the emperor, Ye Chunqiu did not dare to neglect it. He did not dare to go to the Museum of Literature and History these days, so he dealt with that wasteland all day long.
Here... Ye Chunqiu is known as the Economic Development Zone. Now a simple wharf has been built. Many craftsmen are beginning to lay foundations for the distant Zhenguo Mansion. The most eye-catching thing is a temporary workshop on the wharf.
This is Ye Chunqiu's cement workshop, which has now begun to take shape.
The cement manufacturing process is not difficult. The only difficulty is the construction problem. I don’t think about high-quality cement for the time being, but it is still OK to produce primary cement products.
For Ye Chunqiu, the high-quality cement of later generations was of little significance. After all, in that era, the cement roads opened to traffic were mostly super trucks weighing dozens of tons. In this era, even a carriage full of loads was only one or two tons, which was the limit, so today's cement products completely met the current needs.
Under Ye Chunqiu's supervision, the roadbed was almost paved, and water tanks were set up on both sides for drainage. The roadbed was paved with sand and gravel. Then on the other side, someone started to stir cement in a small pool dug out by hand, and the plasterer who had already prepared began to start construction.
