Because of Concubine Xiao De, Li Chengqian had to find something to do for the next period of time.

This is a good thing for the inner ministers of the Eastern Palace. The crown prince’s right concubine Gao Ji and the crown prince’s left concubine Yu Zhining exchanged glances.

As if everything was under their control, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said the inspection.

He has no experience in what to do when inspecting, but Yu Zhining, as the prince's left son, is really very clear about these things.

Although the emperor did not say that he would do something when inspecting, which means...

Yu Zhining said, "Since the emperor said nothing, it means that the crown prince will perform his own performance. No matter how much he said, he will also have the meaning of the crown prince."

In fact, there is no problem with the first half, but the second half is nonsense. The emperor does not have any meaning to be careful about the prince. In fact, he feels that the prince has been living in the deep palace and cannot understand the sufferings of the people. This is not a good emperor, so he sent him out to take a look.

As for whether to punish corrupt officials, it depends on the situation. After all, the corruption in Beichen’s current officialdom is not serious.

It depends on your luck. If you encounter it, you will definitely need to take care of it.

Like this, the situation where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat for the whole morning and the afternoon was happening more and more frequently recently.

Sure enough! This is what a crown prince should look like.

Then one day, His Royal Highness suddenly asked about coal. Strictly speaking, Chen likes to say coal is charcoal.

Because I picked it up and dug it from the surface of the mountain, in fact...

In some places, coal has been used as fuel, but relatively speaking, the things burned from this coal will smell bad, so few people can recognize its value.

In addition, because there are still a lot of impurities in coal, it is naturally impossible to use it to smel iron.

Li Chengqian communicated with the two, but in fact, they didn't know much, and they were in a situation where this thing was bargaining as low as mud and no one picked it up when they were thrown on the ground.

Seeing that the two of them didn't understand each other, they were not much different from him, but Li Chengqian remembered that person, and seemed to know how to smelify iron very much, and he was also a fellow villager, so he quickly summoned Li Jichang.

After talking to Li Jichang, it turns out that Li Jichang's family is poor and has used coal, but this coal is used for cooking, which makes it difficult to swallow.

Li Chengqian then lifted the coke again, but Li Jichang had never heard of it much.

Li Chengqian stopped pretending, so he should just tell the answer, "Light the coal, burn it to a certain level, and drain it with water. The charcoal obtained afterwards will be much better than the charcoal obtained at the beginning, and can be used as wood."

Gao Ji, Yu Zhining, and Li Jichang all looked at him with strange eyes, looking like his nobleman, how did you know?

Li Chengqian also said: "I saw it from an ancient book, go and give it a try."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Jichang.

Li Jichang also replied: "Me?"

Li Chengqian said, "No one else is there for you? Do you want the prince to do it?"

On the one hand, this sentence made Gao Ji, Yu Zhining and the other were very happy. This proved that their status was recognized and affirmed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but on the other hand, after finally finding a job, Li Jichang did it.

Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince did not stop there.

Next, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked where lime was found, and handed over the cement production experiment to Gao Ji.

Of course, Li Chengqian couldn't guarantee that he could do it. Anyway, it would be no big problem to try it according to the method Yaoyao said.

Anyway...

It's also idle. In addition, he can now use his father's inner treasury at will, so there is no need to be used. After all, the third thing Li Chengqian has to do is to go back to Chendu with Zheng Xiufei from time to time to see the construction of the swimming pool where the craftsman Yuwen Tong will be built, and see what Yuwen Tong doesn't understand.

In fact, if Yuwen Tong really has questions, he will naturally come to him as soon as possible.

Nowadays, the swimming pool has been dug, and the steel bars, boards and so on are tied up.

The only thing that is more difficult is this sand, but fortunately, because it is right by the river and there is sand in the river, the quality is OK, so the difficulty is not very high.

In fact, Yaoyao's warehouse is definitely not just cement, steel bars, ceramic tiles, and nets specially used to screen sand, which undoubtedly greatly increases the speed of swimming pool construction.

When Li Chengqian went to inspect at the end of May, several piles of sand had been piled up, and by the river, there were still a steady stream of people delivering sand.

I guess the people are stunned. Who would treat sand as a treasure?

However, in the face of everyone's doubts, Yu Wen Tong, who is the master of the craftsman, is still as stable as an old dog. Touching his beard, can only say that you don't understand what it means to gather sand into a tower.

This preparation was until early June, and it felt almost done. I chose another day that would not rain much in the next few days, and then the construction officially started.

Considering that the construction of the swimming pool requires a large amount of concrete to be laid, Yuwen Tong also divided the people recruited into hundreds of groups and started construction at the same time.

This is the benefit of having too many people. Of course, cement concrete is also corrosive, which requires everyone not to directly use their feet to step on them for a long time or soak them.

Li Chengqian knew these precautions, and Yuwen Tong also understood that the problem would not be big. Because of the large number of people, it only took a day to fill the pool floor and four sides, both of which were quickly filled with concrete.

For those who were conscripted, this royal service is a luxury. Look at the steel bars, just put one at a distance of only a wide distance, how many iron tools would be wasted.

and……

Since ancient times, they have never seen and have never heard of such a pool.

When waiting for the concrete to dry out, one must pay attention to maintenance, and the other must also be built, otherwise, there will be no cover.

It can be said that Yuwen Tong did not waste a slight time. When the exterior wall of the swimming pool was almost built, the concrete in the swimming pool was almost dry.

Next...

Just sticking ceramic tiles, which seems simple but is difficult to say, because you need to control the horizontal and vertical, and not to prevent the concrete filling from being full enough. In addition, there are also gaps, and the size of the gaps is also required.

This requires that those who do this work must be meticulous, and must undergo on-the-job training before doing it.

Yuwen Tong was also afraid that he would not do it well, so he asked for some materials to be a practice practitioner. While he was practicing by himself, other apprentices also practiced with him.

That's it until mid-June.

Another good news also came, that is, Yaoyao's big iron pot was finally prepared.

After many tests, the iron pot was finally released.

In addition, those threshing machines have increased from the original one to more than 150 now. Next, there are still continuous threshing machines being made.

This June and July may be his harvest season. As good news comes, Li Chengqian can't help but feel this way.
Chapter completed!
