Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

When Xiao Zirong saw these letters, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the enemy might not have deceived them, but they had deceived his own people.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

Chai Shuren coughed lightly and said: "Well... everyone is also thinking about His Highness's safety. This thing is too dangerous after all. If you say it will be blown up, it will be blown up. This time, Your Highness is wise and prepared in advance. If something happens... ...There is no way for everyone to explain to His Majesty and the Regent."

Xiao Zirong thought about it after listening to it, and felt that he seemed to understand something in a trance—worrying about him is fake, worrying about his own safety is true.

After all, everyone lives in Jingkou now, and the higher the official position, the closer they are to the palace. If the weapon is more powerful, wouldn't they be implicated?

Everyone thought about it for a long time, and felt that this would not work. King Jinling was not afraid, but they couldn't sleep.

I would rather lose money and change the location of this so-called laboratory!

After Xiao Zirong figured it out, he looked at Chai Shuren with a smile, and said slowly: "I didn't want to change the place before because it was inconvenient, but... since it's everyone's kindness, it's not easy for me to refuse, it's just what this place needs. It may be relatively large, so it may not be easy to find."

Chai Shu refrained from slandering and said: Although the palace is big, it is not all empty space.

But it doesn't matter, they have plenty of space, I just ask their highness to move this laboratory away!

Xiao Zirong was very reluctant, and accepted the manor given by these people half-heartedly. It was a merger of the three Zhuangzi, and it could be regarded as a collective contribution from everyone.

For the sake of life safety, it is also a fight.

Xiao Zirong took people over happily to see the new site. This new site was just in the middle of Jingkou and Jiankang. Xiao Zirong did some calculations, and the round-trip time was not too long.

The manor is big enough that he can get a park train first, so it doesn't seem so urgent.

This is also impossible.

Xiao Zirong before: I want to make a steam train to carry my brother to and from Jingkou and Jiankang.

The current Xiao Zirong: Let's make a small garden train to live with, the finished product is too difficult.

In fact, even if the library opened it for him, it would not be smooth sailing. There will always be various problems in the process of hand-made.

Xiao Zirong cut out a part of the manor for experiments, and moved the laboratory away after the garden train was completed, and used it exclusively for sightseeing.

Xiao Zirong has even thought up the garden design and divided it into several parts, a water play area, an ethnic characteristic area, a hundred opera performance fireworks area, and a food area.

From this point of view, the setting of his Zhuangzi is more like an amusement park, but this amusement park is limited, only when Xiao Xuexing celebrates his birthday, or when he wants to play, will it be open. If he doesn't want to, no one can come in.

Xiao Zirong did not tell Zhai Ling and the others about lowering the target. Anyway, let’s study it first. The small garden train also needs a steam engine, but the train is only for sightseeing and does not need a large body area, so the power may be standard. Relatively loose.

But since it is already a small train in the garden, then... is it possible for his brother to see a different scenery?

For example, overlooking the entire yard from a high place, entering the water to see the underwater scene.

After Xiao Zirong came up with the idea of ​​the entire manor, he began to think seriously, how long will it take to finish all these things?

And the difficulty is quite big. The height is good, and it doesn’t need to be too high. The trees in the yard are no more than three meters high, as long as the height of the rails is five meters.

It is not very troublesome to assume that the rails are there, just build the bridge directly, and it is not a troublesome thing to have cement.

Only going deep into the bottom of the water is not easy. If the train wants to go around in the water, it must have a tunnel to let it in and out, and if it wants to see the bottom of the water, the tunnel must be made of transparent glass.

As we all know, the current glass... only satisfies the condition of transparency. If it wants to withstand the water pressure, it must be tempered glass.

In this case, Xiao Zirong was once again thankful that he had set up the colored glaze workshop in advance, otherwise he would have to go back to Taoyuan City if he wanted to study tempered glass now.

Xiao Zirong frantically flipped through all kinds of tempered glass, hoping to find a suitable craft.

He doesn't require high-quality tempered glass, as long as it is transparent. He will choose a semi-circular shape for the tunnel, so that it can withstand greater pressure, just like an egg that is hard to crush when held in the hand.

Moreover, the tempered glass produced in this way is integrally formed, so there is no need to worry about water leakage.

As for how much pressure it can withstand, there is no need to worry too much. Xiao Zirong doesn't want to take Xiao Xuexing to the deep sea, he just needs to show him the underwater scenery, and the pool won't be too deep.

In his vision, the pool will be turned into sea water, and then some colorful fish in the shallow sea will be caught, some coral shellfish will be placed, and the arrangement will be more beautiful.

For this reason, he even drew a picture, but he didn't know if those things could survive, so let's make it a one-off, Xiao Zirong was not happy.

This Zhuangzi is not a one-time thing, he wants to keep it for Xiao Xuexing to come over and relax when he has nothing to do.

After Xiao Zirong completed the design of the entire garden, he approached Chai Shuren and asked, "Can it be done?"

Chai Shuren was stunned when he saw the design drawing. He had never seen such a fragmented design drawing of the manor. It seemed that each piece was not related to each other. Although there was no wall in the middle, some flowers and trees were used as partitions.

He looked carefully and said, "I can't understand the things around the garden and outside the pool, but other places are not difficult."

Xiao Zirong asked: "Can it be done before March next year?"

March?Chai Shuren ran through the important days in March very quickly in his mind, and suddenly realized that there was the regent's birthday in March.

So this manor is for the Prince Regent?

Chai Shuren immediately said: "Yes, it happened to be the slack season, and we can find people, but these two gardens..."

Xiao Zirong said directly: "Don't worry about these two places, I will watch them personally, and you send people to look for some ethnic minorities, remember, look for those special performances, and food, oh, Don’t be toxic, and then let these people wear national costumes to perform and set up stalls.”

There is a large part of Qi State's territory that was once Baiyue's territory. The so-called Baiyue is actually the collective name of the ethnic minorities in the south.

Because there are many mountains here, many tribes are hidden in the mountains, and the Central Plains does not know how many people there are here, so they are collectively called Baiyue.

Chai Shuren nodded and said, "It's not difficult to get here. There are many caravans going there from Jinling, and there are also some caravans from other tribes. I just don't know how much Your Highness needs?"

Xiao Zirong said very generously: "The more the better, don't be afraid to spend money."

Although he has been a fan of money recently, he has to look at the account books every day to make sure that he is not bankrupt before going to bed, but he doesn't care about the money for preparing a birthday present for Xiao Xuexing.

If there is really not enough money, then sell the more valuable things in his warehouse.

The gifts from Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xuexing definitely cannot be sold, but the congratulatory gifts he gave to the courtiers before can be sold.

However, one must be careful about the sale, Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Xuan must not let them know, otherwise they may think that Xiao Zirong is so poor that he needs to sell his property, and then send money over.

Xiao Zirong didn't mean to refuse their money, but mainly used the money Xiao Xuexing sent to get him a birthday present, which was awkward no matter how he thought about it.

Just now Chai Shuren mentioned doing business with those young people, but he was a little moved. The things he didn't care about should be more precious to those young people, and selling them may be the best choice.

He handed this matter over to Bai Yan. After all, Bai Yan was a bit talented in business, and she could also ask the Privy Council to inquire about some news.

It's just that the news brought back by the Privy Council did not satisfy him, because the goods traded by those caravans were very common, and the most common one was salt.

It has to be said that since the salt factory started to get on the right track, most of the money in Xiao Zirong's hands came from the tax of the salt factory.

The salt factory not only produces refined salt, but also some coarse salt. If the price is in Jinling, it will be rationed at a par price, but if it is a caravan, the price will be higher.

But even if the price is increased, it is much cheaper than going to other places to buy goods including the cost of transportation.

If it weren't for the national certification required to sell salt, Xiao Zirong could make more money now.

After all, the output of the salt factory is not at full capacity now. The part that needs to be processed by them is to strip heavy metals and other impurities. There is God's help in the middle. If the production capacity is really to be full, Xiao Zirong estimates that their salt factory can supply one-third of the salt. A state of Qi.

It sounds very powerful, but this is also because the population itself is small.

However, besides salt, the Shaomin just buy some cloth. They are not very good at weaving, but they are good at hunting, so they will exchange animal skins for these things.

Money is seldom used, mostly bartered.

From this point of view, Shaomin is not suitable to be Xiao Zirong's trading partner at all.

Xiao Zirong is a bit bald, and Liuli Workshop can make money, but now all the orders are made before, and the new orders have not come yet.

After all, this thing is a luxury item. Whoever buys it every day when they have nothing to do, can't afford it.

Xiao Zirong thought about whether to produce some civilian grade glazed lamps. The so-called civilian grade is that the glass itself is not pure enough, it will have various colors, and the patterns on it will be relatively simple, maybe some auspicious cloud patterns, or even patterns Nothing, just a simple lampshade.

If the price is set lower, people should buy it, and even such a cheap lampshade is the big money maker.

Xiao Zirong did what he said, and it was not difficult. For the purity of the glass, many unqualified glass would be returned to the furnace for remanufacturing or continue to the next step of the process.

This request directly "waste utilization" of these broken glass.

The only trouble is how to open the market.

If you want ordinary people to pay for it, you have to understand how much the price is before they can accept it.

I'm afraid this will be handed over to the Privy Council.

Just when Xiao Zirong was thinking about this, Liu Cainiang hurried over and said, "Your Highness, I just received a letter."

Seeing her frowning, Xiao Zirong couldn't help being surprised: "What letter makes you so nervous?"

Liu Cainiang looked around, and then said: "It was sent from Taoyuan City, and the signature is Yuanjia."
