After hearing what Hou Junji said, Niu Jinda, the commander of the Qianniu Guards, did not believe it.
"Hou Shangshu, let me try."
Niu Jinda moved his hand joints, then walked over and slammed it down hard.
"Hiss~"
Niu Jinda's eyes suddenly widened, and he felt a pain instantly spread throughout his body.
He turned his head silently and looked at each other with Hou Junji. He saw a trace of schadenfreude in the other person's eyes.
Damn it, Hou Junji didn’t even remind him. Tears of pain almost flowed out.
There were just a lot of people present, and they were very skilled military generals.
They must endure it and maintain their superior image.
Seeing that two generals with strong martial arts skills could not break a brick, all the officials sighed with emotion.
"I took a punch from Hou Shangshu and General Niu without any damage! This shows how hard this brick is!"
"And Dr. Wang Yushi jumped on it and stepped on it, and it didn't break even a bit."
"It's much better than unfired clay bricks!"
Hou Junji and Niu Jinda are military generals. The power of their punches will make them hit someone. On the body, I am afraid of direct internal injuries.
While the courtiers were talking in low voices, Wei Zheng, the servant, spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, the size of the bricks can be controlled according to actual needs, and it is also very convenient to transport and bake."
"It is not only strong but also flexible and convenient for building houses and city walls. "
"The red brick firing method is very practical!"
Wei Zheng's words also aroused the approval of many ministers.
"Wei Shizhong is right. Building a house with bricks will definitely be cheaper than solid wood."
"And the construction period will be greatly shortened."
Hear After hearing the words of the ministers, Li Shimin looked overjoyed: "Wang Tianer's meritorious service in presenting the red brick firing method should be rewarded!"
"What should be rewarded..."
Li Shimin fell into He hesitated.
At this time Wang Jian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Tian'er's brick-burning method can produce just enough red bricks to build a printing workshop."
"And he also has Given his experience in managing a large workshop, why not let him serve as the steward of the printing workshop? ”
The printing workshop is managed under the East Palace, and Li Shimin also handed over the personnel appointment power to Wang Jian and the prince.
Therefore, he did not refuse, but nodded directly in agreement.
"As Wang Aiqing said, promote Wang Tianer to the head of the printing workshop!"
A feat that benefits the country and the people, exchanged for a seventh-grade official position, a group of courtiers No comments.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the officials said in unison.
Li ShiminHe nodded and continued: "The red brick firing method is handed over to the general as the supervisor. You must quickly build a brick kiln according to this method."
"This printing workshop will use your brick kilns." Let’s build it with the red bricks!”
“Your Majesty,”
The supervisor stood up and replied.
Li Shimin handed Wang De the paper on the red brick firing method and asked him to hand it over to the general supervisor.
Only by entrusting the supervisors to be responsible for the construction and repair of the buildings and the firing of red bricks can they be effective.
Li Shimin was in a very happy mood. He stood up and looked around at the officials, smiling and saying.
"If nothing happens to all the officials, please leave the court now."
After saying that, Li Shimin took the lead and left the Tai Chi Hall.
...
Wang Jian first went to the East Palace to tell Wang Tianer the good news.
While they were talking, the father-in-law from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over with the imperial edict.
And read the imperial edict in front of everyone.
"Master Tian'er, please take the order."
In order to avoid Wang Jian's surname, the father-in-law called Wang Tian'er by his first name.
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Wang Tianer received the order excitedly.
Then the father-in-law took out a set of light green official robes and ribbons from the tray and handed them to Wang Tianer.
Wang Tianer hugged his official robe and said excitedly: "Thank you, father-in-law."
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
I have been a farmer all my life and served in the army for many years, and now I can finally wear official robes.
This is the top priority of Guangzong Yaozu.
The father-in-law ignored Wang Tianer, but walked up to Wang Jian, lowered his eyebrows and saluted.
"Mr. Wang, the small task has been completed. Please leave first."
He was about to take people away when Wang Jian stopped him.
"Father-in-law, please stay."
"Please accept the small drink money."
Wang Jian took out some broken silver from his body and said Pass it to his hand.
"Mr. Wang, this..."
The father-in-law was stunned and did not dare to take it for a while.
The current Wang Jian is no ordinary marquis, he is also the boss of the Yushitai.
Will I be impeached if I accept money from the imperial censor?
Wang Jian saw his worries and expressed relief: "It's just a small amount of money for running errands. I can only drink two taels of wine. It's not even enough to make a small meal."
< p> "My father-in-law, just accept it, it's not corruption."After hearing Wang Jian's words, my father-in-law felt relieved.
He took the moneyAfterwards, he smiled happily and said thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your generosity. I will take my leave first."
After leaving the East Palace, several of the accompanying father-in-laws sighed with emotion in low voices.
"Master Wang is so kind. He is already in a high position and will give us money for running errands."
"Other ministers would not look at us seriously."
Eunuch Xuanzhi said with a smile: "Master Wang, please keep it in mind. After today's duty, shall we go out of the palace to have a drink together?"
"Master Gao Generous!"
The accompanying father-in-law complimented him one after another.
In the afternoon, Wang Jian called Ma Zhou, He Luntuo and Wang Tianer together.
Wang Jian pointed at Wang Tianer and said to He Luntuo: "Brother He, you can ask Wang Tianer to cooperate with you in the firing of red bricks. He is more skilled there."
"That's great. The people we will serve as prisoners are inexperienced. With the guidance of Chief Wang, we can avoid many detours."
He Luntuo said with a smile.
Next, the four people estimated the cost of the printing workshop and then formed a complete plan.
Wang Jian took the plan and said with a smile: "I will take the plan to the palace to ask for money from His Majesty. You can start preparing to start the construction now!"
"Okay!"
Ma Zhou, He Luntuo and Wang Tianer responded in unison.
Inside the Manna Hall.
Wang Jian presented the construction design drawings and cost to Li Shimin, while he waited quietly.
Li Shimin looked at the neat drawings and the detailed and clear cost, and said with emotion as he looked at it.
"Wang Aiqing, you should be the Minister of the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Industry. You are very good at statistics and investigation of things."
Around the palace, there were a number of ministers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The officials all looked at each other.
I didn’t expect that His Majesty’s opinion of Mr. Wang would be so high.
Wang Jian said humbly: "Your Majesty, I am ridiculous. I only know a few tricks, but I am not talented enough to take on this important task."
"It is good to be talented and humble. !”
Li Shimin looked at his beloved minister and praised him without hesitation.
After looking at it for a while, he signed the cost in big letters and said with a smile.
"Wang Aiqing, I will grant you all the money needed to build and operate the printing workshop."
"You must start construction as soon as possible and try to put it into operation as soon as possible." < /p>
Now that the state treasury is abundant, there is no pressure at all to allocate money.
...
Three days later, it will be an auspicious day.
The printing workshop officially started construction.
Now the project is carried out in two steps at the same time. One group of people is responsible for digging the foundation, and the other group of people is digging the brick kiln and firing the red bricks.
According to the speed of construction, the printing workshop is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
It will have to wait until next year to put it into operation.
