Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 119 Cai Wenji's Bad Taste

Cai Wenji was really angry. While scoffing at Zhao Cheng, she also ordered the first batch of cement for research.

Master Zhizhou asked her why she bought cement and didn't say anything. In short, she had the mentality of those students watching "Happy Three Kingdoms". Because Cao Cao is so wretched, now Cai Wenji is too embarrassed to follow the book. For the past two days, she has devoted all her energy to tossing cement.

She didn't know why, but she subconsciously wanted to find something wrong with the cement in order to expose the wretched scholar's habit of cheating money.

The facts are extremely cruel, Cai Wenji still can't figure out why these scattered powders can solidify into something similar to rocks in a short period of time, which is not easy to break?
The girl's mentality, at first she seemed to be building a blockhouse, she has always been the most alert and hates bandits, always thinking that there are bandits from the Tianshan Mountains who will break through the city and come in.Even if she didn't think about the bandits, she still wanted to build a bunker at home, so that when the treacherous father came to catch her, she would hide inside and not come out, making him anxious.

But there is no use in thinking about it. When punished by the traitor father, he is usually put under house arrest.If you hide in a bunker, wouldn't it be equivalent to being imprisoned?

Based on this thinking, Cai Wenji used the first batch of cement to build a statue of Zhao Cheng.

She is very talented in art, and she has shaped the concrete statues to life.In order to be able to do it, she also used artistic techniques to deliberately make the statue of Zhao Cheng look a little obscene.

Next, Qin Ming was entrusted to illegally obtain some materials controlled by the black technology of the Song Dynasty: gunpowder.

After making all kinds of preparations, Cai Wenji wanted to "blow up Zhao Cheng", and also to test the performance of cement.

For safety, Qin Ming collected a lot of sacks, and filled the middle parts of the sacks with soil. Using such sandbags as a safety measure, he piled up a site for testing explosives.

The statue of Zhao Cheng made of cement was innocently tied with explosives from beginning to end, placed horizontally in a safe circle surrounded by sand, and long leads were pulled out.

Under Qin Ming's protection, Miss Cai, who was standing outside, saw Zhao Cheng's abomination and rebelliousness, but there was also a trace of hesitation.

"Miss, don't hesitate. You don't need to feel compassion. This is not to blow him up, but to blow up the cement, so as to expose his trick of deceiving the world."

Under Qin Mingjian's words, Miss Cai started to light the fire with a wicked expression on her face, and then decisively threw herself down and held her head.

There was almost a bang, and the entire state government was shaken, and fireworks shot into the sky.

Countless people were frightened, and everywhere looked like a war in chaos!

Cai Wenji quickly ran over to check, her face suddenly darkened. She didn't see "Zhao Cheng was torn into pieces". At most, she just blew him up.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel, the strength of this ghost thing is so powerful.If I want to see Zhao Cheng deflated, I'm afraid I have to work harder.

I won't say anything about not blowing up "Zhao Cheng", it can only show that the cement he tossed out is really miraculous.

The most embarrassing thing for Cai Wenji was that the big noise of the explosion attracted the treacherous old man with a livid face.

Cai You was a little embarrassed. He had always liked to maintain stability, his nose was big and his mouth was pressed down. Now in front of many followers and state officials, he couldn't scold his daughter, otherwise it would be tantamount to accusing her and Qin Ming of using gunpowder privately.

With Lao Cai's attitude, others can't speak, they can only stage the official scene, and regard Cai Wenji and Qin Ming's behavior as "authorization of scientific research" by the prefects.

As a result, this group of people is really a bit funny like the characters written by Zhao Cheng in "Happy Three Kingdoms". experiment procedure.

"Miracle, there was news about the cement in Guichi County before, and it was said that Lao Pei put gold on his face. I didn't expect this cement to be so unique. It was General Qin who personally presided over the blasting and it couldn't blow it up?"

"It's amazing. Master Zhizhou is concerned about the country and the people, and let his precious daughter take risks to experiment with the gods."

Cai Wenji was extremely embarrassed, and looked at the treacherous minister's father face to face.

Cai You was even more embarrassed, and gave Cai Wenji a hard look, as if saying that it was all a good thing you did.

Cai Wenji lowered her head, she was a little discouraged after thinking about it carefully, she thought Zhao Cheng was too naive before.But now I am really moved, because this scene is really the kind of funny that Zhao Cheng wrote.

The rest of the entourage continue to be in Xiaobai.

Cai You twirled his beard and went into the observation. After asking about the details, Master Zhizhou saw the magic of cement for the first time.

To be honest, Cai You, a master of politics, usually doesn't pay much attention to these things.Earlier, like them, when I heard Lao Pei in Guichi County campaigning for some kind of cement, Cai You probably only automatically assumed that Lao Pei was making exaggerated political achievements. There are actually many such things in the Song Dynasty, and the main reason is that they are strange. Skillful.

But now, Cai You was really moved by the baby girl who experimented with the magic of this thing.His political sensitivity decided that he didn't think about the benefits of this thing to Gongjian, but thought of the emperor's happy state of experimenting with this thing in the palace.

We all know that today's emperor likes to build big buildings, and also likes all novelty things.

In the fourth year of Chongning, in order to win the favor of the emperor, Cai Jing supported Zhu Meng and his son to establish the Southeast Salary Bureau to search for rare treasures to please the emperor.

It started on a small scale, with Zhu Chong (father of the traitor Zhu Zhi) occasionally contributing a few trinkets to curry favor with Cai Jing, who in turn gave them to the emperor.But the transition has gradually become a little out of control, and the more it is done, the more outrageous it is. The scale of the Bureau of Remuneration is getting bigger and bigger, like a movement, forming a large-scale movement of gangs into Beijing, which is the world-famous Huashi Gang!

Zhu Chong is Cai Jing's white glove, a wealthy family and wealthy businessman in the Jiangnan area.Zhu Xiao, the head of Guichi County, is so awesome that the beams and pillars of his family are made of nanmu, because he is also a member of the Zhu family, Zhu Chong's nephew, and Zhu Yu's cousin.

From Cai You's point of view, I really don't care about the harm caused by the Southeast Bureau of Labor Affairs to the people. Anyway, they can't catch Cai You.But in terms of politics, Cai You definitely disagrees with Cai Jing.

Or it can be said that Cai You is jealous and doesn't like outsiders doing these things to please the emperor.It's a pity that the traitor father handed over this business to outsiders.

There is a background to these things. Mr. Cai is the enemy of the Zhu family.The so-called Xiao Cai Xianggong is the famous Cai Bian, Cai You's second uncle and Cai Jing's younger brother.

One of Cai Bian's characteristics is that he extremely looks down on these local wealthy families and businessmen, including eunuchs. No matter what his nature is, he is Wang Anshi's son-in-law after all, so he is naturally anti-eunuchs and businessmen. This is one of his core political ideas.

That is, the same year when the Southeast Yingbao Bureau was established, and in the fourth year of Chongning, Cai Bian, who was then the privy envoy, was not politically correct, and if he got too close to Lu Huiqing, he would inevitably have a problem with the eunuch Tongguan.

Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Zhu Chong, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, in this year are a circle, a chain of interests.Cai Bian's opposition to this circle is basically politically incorrect, and he is too obvious to praise Lu Huiqing and oppose Tong Guan's presidency of military affairs in the Northwest, which is a taboo.

Cai Bian was kicked out by Cai Jing on the grounds that "two brothers are not suitable to work in the central government at the same time", so Cai Bian was demoted to Henan Prefecture.

Lu Huiqing was even worse. After being dismissed from the Shaanxi system, he lived at home.Looking at the historical events of this period, Lu Huiqing's dismissal was of course to make room for the head of Tong Guan's eunuch party. For this reason, Tong Guan also Chongning took over as the Shaanxi system envoy (Northwest military leader) for four years.

In the same year, the Southeast Yingbao Bureau was established.Based on this, it can be inferred that if Mr. Cai is not driven out of the central government, it will not be easy for Zhu Xie and his son to stop jumping up, and it will not be easy for Tong Guan to stop jumping up.

These things are generally very big, and inextricably entangled.Cai You didn't want to conflict with them too obviously, but he also didn't want the Zhu family to favor him.
