Chapter 277 Confidence

Zhu Xiongying is doing what he should do, and he can be very calm. He is young and has a stable position, so it is enough to make steady progress. There is no need to deliberately do things that show oneself. It is really not

That's necessary.

In Wuying Hall, after reading Zhu Xiongying's memorial, Lao Zhu said, "This kid is really not in charge of the family and doesn't know how expensive it is."

"Is the hero raised by my mother? I am still kind in my heart." Zhu Biao said with a smug attitude, "He has done some things over the years, but he is still naive to say it. If he really wants to let him do it, he really wants to be more naive.

After seeing the filthiness of the court, my heart became cruel."

Old Zhu said deeply, "That's true, I know the nature of this child. It's not difficult to be cruel. He is not like you, he looks like me in his bones. When you were immersed in the court in the early years, you were afraid that

I was a little unbearable. I killed Guo Huan and Hu Weiyong back then, and you were afraid you wouldn't sleep well at that time."

Zhu Biao smiled and said disrespectfully, "At the beginning, there were a few more people, and I was so embarrassed that I felt a little unbearable. Later, I figured it out,

It is better for a family to cry than a hundred families to cry. Since I am in charge of things, I should be more kind to the people. Those officials do not give the people a way to survive, so I will kill them until they dare not take the people seriously!"

/p>

Lao Zhu smiled sincerely about his son's murderous words. This is the crown prince he carefully trained!

Lao Zhu said naturally, "Heroine is fine, he is cruel. I am not worried, I can be a good emperor. I also know that the salary of all officials is low, so it is difficult for me to do these things. I will keep it for you to be kind.

What Xiongying told you is right. It’s okay to give those people some sweetness, but you can’t give them too much hope. If you are blind, you will be restless!"

Zhu Biao also recognized these. Few people knew better than him about his old father's personality. There were indeed restrictions on civil and military officials, rather than being generous, otherwise it would be for the court.

, cause trouble for descendants.

People’s hearts are never content, so they should naturally treat all officials, and they should not have thoughts they should not have.

Just as the father and son were still discussing some things, Jiang Yan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, hurried over, "I will report to Your Majesty, and Duke Xin is looking for a meeting outside the palace."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt energetic and quickly said, "Xuan!"

After saying this, Lao Zhu stood up and immediately said to Zhu Biao, "Boss, let Xiongying come too. Let the officials of the Ministry of Works wait!"

"Let my mother come here too." Zhu Biao said quickly, "If I really didn't tell my mother, it wouldn't be great."

The excited old Zhu glared at his incompetent son and cursed, "Things that don't have some courage! What does a woman know about such a major event in the court!"

Zhu Biao just chuckled. He should call someone or call someone, otherwise he would not be able to live as a son. Then, it would be a dilemma between his parents. It would be better to prepare in advance now, so it would be better to do so now.

Some family conflicts arise.

Although Lao Zhu said this, he would not object now. Such important things still require more planning and more thoughtful thinking. For many things, it is better to have more people.

Zhu Xiongying and Empress Ma who received the information naturally rushed over, and they also wanted to see what the situation was like in cement.

Tang He, who was obviously old, came to the palace with his son Tang Ding. These days, the father and son were both very excited.

When the crown prince returned home, Tang and this old minister were right in front of him, and they were still trying to ask for some orders. But how could he think of his nobles being kind? He arranged such a good thing for Tang Ding. Not long after he took over

Making great achievements!

"Go to the throne, I'm so happy!" Tang He knelt down excitedly and quickly reported the good news. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quick-witted and has insight into affairs, so he ordered his ministers and others to make cement!"

Old Zhu laughed and said Tang He's little thoughts directly, "This is a great joy! In the early years, you wrote a letter to invite me to join the army, so that I can live in the world! If you, father and son, follow me, Zhu family, I can protect your wealth!

”

Tang He kowtowed excitedly, and he naturally agreed with this statement.

As a fellow villager of Emperor Hongwu, Tang He felt that the most correct thing for him was to write a letter to invite the emperor to join the army! Don’t talk about Guo Zixing and others. There were so many grass-headed kings in the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and so many Red Turban Army at that time, why did so many Red Turban Army?

That is, His Majesty sat on the dragon throne?

Besides, they are all so-called village party members. That is, because of His Majesty, a group of good generals emerged in the small Fengyang and Huaixi!

Isn't that because of the right lord, he made achievements and shining his family? You should know that these people probably had no way out when they were young, and most of them were farmers and bandits!

If you work for the right lord, you don’t have to worry about your son. Now you are one of the confidants of the crown prince! The Tang family should be the one who is in charge of the Zhu family, so that they can have wealth and glory!

"Big Mouth!" Queen Ma said happily, "We always remember your righteous act, and you invited Chongba to join the army. At that time, you were all thousands of households, and you can still serve Chongba, we all remember!"
p>

This is also one of Tang He’s most proud things. He had made a little bit in the army and invited his childhood friends to join the army.

At that time, there were five marshals including Guo Zixing in Xiaoxiaohaozhou City. Tang He's most wise decision was to unswervingly serve Emperor Hongwu at that time, even if he had only followed Xu Da and twenty-eight people.

Your Majesty leaves Haozhou and is located in Dingyuan.

Loyalty is his greatest advantage, and now these have also made him receive unimaginable returns.

Zhu Biao said directly at this time, "Dad, mom, Duke Xin Guo's achievements are all known, so let's take a look at the cement first!"

Reminiscing the past and rewarding the achievements, you can put these things aside first, this is not the top priority. The most important thing now is to look at cement, which is the most important thing, and this is the focus of everyone's most attention now.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Tang Ding immediately brought the cement over. Looking at the gray-brown powder, Lao Zhu was a little suspicious. Can these things really be so magical?

Zhu Xiongying reached out and grabbed a handful of cement and rubbed it carefully, and praised it with a smile, "Okay! It seems that everyone is also trying hard to do it. The powder is delicate, and this is a hard work."

Tang Ding immediately said seriously, "When you go back to your highness, I dare not slack off. Your Highness said before that whether cement can be made depends on whether the powder can be ground carefully. I dare not be negligent, and I will grind all the materials carefully.

”

Lao Zhu asked at this time, "Then tell me, how do you use this thing?"

Tang Ding immediately replied, "Reply to Your Majesty, mix cement with water, stir it up, add some mud and sand, and build the wall. It can be solidified outside in one day, and it can be solidified within three days, and it can be hard as iron in seven days, and it can be invulnerable to swords and guns!"

Zhu Xiongying doesn't think it's exaggerating, but also thinks it's a normal thing. It's already a very good thing to be able to completely solidify in about seven days. Of course, this is also related to the weather. If there are rainy days, it's normal for about ten days.

.

Cement, even in later generations, will take some time to solidify.

Lao Zhu didn't care when he heard this, and just continued to ask, "Will it be like ordinary mud on walls?"

Tang Ding continued to answer, "Your Majesty, it is still a little different from ordinary mud. If ordinary mud is added and bonded to bricks and stones, it is easy to pry open. The cement is different, and once it is dry, it is difficult to smash the hammer head!"

Old Zhu waved his hand and immediately said, "It is useless to say more now, call the craftsmen over immediately. I want to build a wall, build a wall in the palace!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Grandfather, one wall is not enough. We need to build thick walls and city walls. How can these things be useful? We still have to explore some things now."

Zhu Xiongying doesn’t have the confidence to do the performance of cement now, so it’s still more experiments and explorations. As for building walls outside the city, Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying don’t have time to leave the palace.

If you don’t fully understand the performance of cement, you naturally cannot formally invest them in some construction projects. Even if the Ming Dynasty has a much richer foundation, you shouldn’t be too aggressive at this time, so it’s better to be more stable.

/p>

Experiment first, wait until the experiment is done, find out the bottom line before implementing it!

Lao Zhu immediately looked at Tang He with pride and said, "Big Mouth, your children and grandchildren are not as promising as my children and grandchildren! This cement is the idea of ​​my hero. If your boy can do good things, just do good things steadily.

Your wealth is indispensable!"

Tang He naturally recognized these things very much. His children and grandchildren did not look particularly promising. That doesn't matter. Just follow the steps of the emperor and the crown prince. If you don't have the ability, you can do good things steadily. This is also

It's enough.

Queen Ma smiled and said, "Don't say more, let's take a look at how this cement first!"

Zhu Xiongying was a little nervous, but she was still looking forward to it.

Seeing the craftsmen working with cement and Tang Ding was working hard, Zhu Xiongying felt much more at ease. It seemed that Tang Ding had really put in some effort and really had a good understanding of cement.

That's fine.

The craftsmen just need to build walls. They build walls in the open space outside Wuying Hall, and all kinds of bluestone bricks and city wall bricks were sent over. These things are the most important materials that can test the efficacy of cement.
p>

This is not a formal building after all, so naturally there is no need to consider foundations and other things. Let’s talk about it first.

Looking at the mud overflowing between the cracks of the bricks, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Grandfather, although this thing is of great use, it looks the same as the mud."

Lao Zhu was not happy, "Ordinary mud cannot be used to build cities, this cement can be of great use if I look at it!"

The good things that my grandson has worked hard to create are definitely not common things, but are naturally incomparable to ordinary mud.
