First Prince of Qing Dynasty

There are several flowers blooming, each representing a branch.

When Tong Jia's mental strength was exhausted and he had no time to take care of him, and the empresses in other palaces were all pregnant with ghosts, and they all planned to take advantage of her illness to kill her, and all of them were gearing up, Yinfeng was not idle.

In addition to completing his daily homework, he also took time to visit the cement factory several times.Today's cement factory has already been built and entered the production test stage.With systematic design and guidance, things went quite smoothly.Yinreng was overjoyed, and began to think about Yinzhen's affairs again.

After he reprimanded Cuiyan that day, he beat everyone around Yinzhen again.The effect is still good, at least so far, no one dares to be submissive, nor dare to move other thoughts, all of them lowered their eyebrows and were cautious.

But Yinfeng understands that this is not a long-term solution.The palace people are afraid of him, and they are also afraid of Tong Jiashi.Now Tong Jiashi can't think of Yinzhen, so just let him go.Once she thinks about it, if she wants to do something again, can the palace people not listen?

Offending him is death.You can't live if you offend Tong Jiashi.Yinfeng understood that most of the time, the palace people couldn't help themselves, so he never severely punished them.But you can't let it go.

Yinzhen gets sick from time to time, and the timing of each sickness is subtle.Although he had no evidence, he vaguely guessed that Tong Jiashi used Yinzhen to fight against Concubine De, and it could even be said that he used this to restrain Concubine De.

Yinreng didn't want to get involved in the struggles of the women in the harem, but he couldn't just ignore Yinzhen's situation.A few days ago, I heard that Kangxi asked the fourth concubine to assist in palace affairs.He also thought that Concubine De was among them, she would always have some rights, and she would always do something.

What's more, the case of Xiao Gege's death has ended, and Concubine De has the upper hand in this round.It is reasonable to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but in the past few days, there has been no movement at all.

Yinrong frowned.He saw that although Concubine De loved Yinzuo more, she was not ruthless towards Yinzhen.In the past, there were quite a few things that were given to Yinzhen either openly or secretly.It is impossible for her not to know that Tong Jiashi used Yinzhen as a raft.If so, why is there no action?What do you think!

Hey!

Yinfeng hated secretly, and threw the book in his hand aside.

Don't wait!Waiting any longer, Tong Jia's body recovers, how can there be such a chance!Maybe what was going on in her mind!If you feel that you have stumbled on Concubine De and feel uncomfortable, how about finding a place with Yinzhen?

Just do it.In the next few days, Yinreng took Yinzhen to the Palace of Compassionate Peace every day to pay his respects.

Yonghe Palace, Concubine De smiled when she heard this.

Yuchan asked while doing her nails: "Although Chunying is gone, Chunzhi's ability is not as good as hers, but the imperial concubine has been in charge of palace affairs for many years, and Yu Wei is still there. We can't get in the important seats in Chengqian Palace for a while, especially It's by the imperial concubine's side. But there are two people who are responsible for running errands and sweeping. It's at the fourth elder brother's place. What do you think is the safest way?"

"No need to do it!"

Yuchan was stunned, "No need?"

Concubine De nodded: "Didn't you say that the crown prince took the fourth elder brother to the Compassionate Ning Palace? How many times has this happened in recent days?"

"the third time."

Concubine De thought for a while, "It's almost there."

Yuchan paused: "What does your lady mean?"

"In recent years, the prince has been very friendly and loving brother, and he is the best to Yinzhen. I don't think he is completely pretending. Even if there is some part of pretending to be seen by outsiders, he should have some sincerity. A while ago he just Hitting the people around Yinzhen, with his intelligence, he should have noticed Tong Jia's little moves. If so, he won't ignore it."

Concubine De knew that she was waiting for the prince if she didn't move.The prince didn't move, so why wasn't he waiting for her?The two of them will see who can lose their temper first.

Concubine De looked at the dyed nails on her left hand, and then passed her right hand over, "You and I both know that Yinzhen's affairs are not easy to handle. Although I have received the rosters of the palaces, they are all palaces that don't matter. I can't control the sites of the ladies.

"The imperial concubine is ill, and the Chengqian Palace is in a hurry, but there is order in the chaos. If not, we have to be careful no matter how we deploy people. We don't even dare to move a second-class maid, so we can only move to an unimportant seat?

"It would be fine if Yinzhen had already lived in the East and West Five Houses. But he is still living in Chengqian Palace. The imperial concubine is his adoptive mother, and all the people around her are chosen by her. I want to dispose of it beyond the imperial concubine. The teacher is famous. What name are we looking for? No matter what the reason is, the imperial concubine will take the responsibility. Can she agree?

"Also. You forgot. Not long ago, you told the emperor that the fourth elder brother was given to the imperial concubine. I only regarded him as the son of the imperial concubine. I always kept my sense of propriety in mind. Although I loved him, I wanted him to be with the imperial concubine more. The noble concubine is a real mother and son. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face for me to intervene?

"Don't look at the imperial concubine as weak now, but her Sacred Heart is still there, even worse than before, so it should not be underestimated. Although the power of the palace has been taken away, the power of the palace is not in the hands of anyone. The other few wish Few people argue with them. Who is not staring at each other's faults?

"Ilha hasn't left the palace yet. I can't jump out at this time to make people suspicious. What if someone finds out about me and finds out about Ilha? The most important thing for us now is to keep a low profile. If we can't move, we won't." Move, don't attract other people's eyes."

Yuchan pursed her lips: "What if the prince doesn't act? Now you and the imperial concubine have completely torn skins. The imperial concubine has lost her little Ge Ge and Chun Ying, and she can no longer conceive. How can she swallow this breath?" Can you go on? If she can't do anything to you and points the finger at the fourth elder brother, I'm afraid it won't be a small fight. What will the fourth elder brother do then?"

Concubine De opened her mouth, wanted to say something, swallowed it back, and said firmly: "I will not guess wrong. The crown prince will definitely make a move!"

Rather than answering Yuchan, it is better to convince myself.

Concubine De took a deep breath, "The most important thing at the moment is to let the palace go out. The emperor nodded, and the noble concubine agreed. Let's deal with it tomorrow. Remember, let Yilha mix in the crowd and go out quietly. Don't be flamboyant."

"Yes!"

Yuchan took the order, knowing that Concubine De had already made up her mind, so she stopped mentioning Yinzhen's matter with a wink.

……

Cining Palace.

Let Lagu Su Ma take Yinzhen out to play, the Empress Dowager deliberately left Yinreng, "You have brought him here several times, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Yinfeng smiled and took the Empress Dowager's arm: "Baocheng wants to ask Wuku's mother for a favor. I see that the servants around my fourth brother are not in good shape, so I want to change some for him."

"You want me to come forward?"

Yinfeng nodded.

The Empress Dowager scoffed: "His mother-in-law is not in her early years, but you will plan for him."

She is old, but she is not deaf or blind.I know more or less about the affairs in the palace.The first time Yinreng brought Yinzhen over, she sent someone to inquire about it, and she roughly guessed the key.

"Mother Wuku! You also know that although I am the crown prince, I am still young and have no rights in my hands. The fourth brother has a biological mother and an adoptive mother. I am the only older brother, so it is not easy to intervene directly.

"If I rashly change the fourth brother's person, what will others think? It's my friendly brother who knows, but if I don't know, they think I deliberately placed someone beside him. What's the idea?

"Although I am a prince, I am still a junior. The imperial concubine is the same as the vice queen, and she takes advantage of the fourth brother's adoptive mother. If she wants to change it back, there are ways. Even if she doesn't change, she can leave it alone.

"You are different. You are the ancestor! Khan Ama respects you, how can the imperial concubine dare to touch the person you bestowed? Not only can't move, but also be courteous. Other servants will also have scruples, even if I'm afraid of Tong Jiashi, so I don't dare to make trouble in front of my fourth brother."

The Empress Dowager glanced at him: "You have considered everything carefully."

"Does Wuku's mother think it's okay too? Did you agree?"

The Empress Dowager didn't answer, Yinfeng moved closer, "Mother Wuku! Just promise me! Mother Wuku!"

The Empress Dowager laughed, "I'm over nine years old, and I still think of myself as a child."

"How can you not be a child at the age of nine? I am in front of you, and I am still a child at the age of 90! Because you are my Wuku mother, please spoil me!"

The Empress Dowager laughed out loud: "Okay! Mama Wuku dotes on you!"

"The matter of the fourth brother..."

"It's up to you, it's all up to you!"

Yinfeng became happy: "You don't need to find any faults, just say that you have taken a fancy to Cuiyan and Cuiyun, you think they are pleasing in appearance, and you have a good window grille, so you asked the fourth brother to come over, and make up two girls for you." he.

"As for the Cuiyan Cuiyun who are coming over, let them learn the rules with the nanny again. After learning it, you can make the arrangement. Use it if you can, and if you don't want to use it, it will be dismissed in a few days."

The Empress Dowager has nothing to do, "That's it. Tomorrow, I'll ask Aunt Su Ma to choose two obedient and sensible ones."

"Hey! I knew that Wuku's mother was the best!"

"Just your sweet mouth!"

The next day, everyone noticed that there was a new face around Yinzhen.

When Yinreng came back from morning class, Xia Cao came forward and said, "Cuiyan said, he wants to see the prince."

Yinfeng frowned slightly: "Let her in!"

Cuiyan still had a bundle in her hand, Yinreng smiled lightly: "Now that you have a new place to go, it's time to bid farewell to your old master, what are you doing here looking for Gu?"

Cuiyan knelt down, with her head on the ground, not daring to lift it up: "Prince! This servant takes care of Si elder brother on weekdays, and I dare not say that I do my best, but I swear that I have never hurt Si elder brother!"

That day when the prince beat her, she knew something was wrong.Sure enough, she got the news yesterday that she was asked to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to learn the rules, and she was so worried that she didn't sleep all night.

What does it mean for a person like her who has been in the palace for five or six years and has already walked out of her aunt's hands to be beaten back to learn the rules?What will happen?

Not to mention that in name, the Empress Dowager took a fancy to them.But the Empress Dowager is surrounded by people who have served her for many years, so she is not needed at all.She has self-knowledge, she thinks she doesn't have great skills, and she is not enough to make people look at her differently. How could she be suddenly favored?

Thinking about the prince's attitude towards them and the empress dowager's love for the prince, what else can't be understood!

Cuiyan took a deep breath: "Prince please forgive me! Although the servants are serving the fourth elder brother, sometimes the imperial concubine will send Chunying over to look after them, and the servants can't intervene. Occasionally Chunying will keep watch at night, and the servants They're only outside."

The prince snorted, "Do you think that if you hadn't asked the fourth brother alone, knowing this, you would just learn the rules?"

Cuiyan was stunned, she was telling the prince that the fourth elder brother caught cold from time to time, maybe there was something wrong with it, but this strange thing had absolutely nothing to do with them.Unexpectedly, the prince knew everything about it!

"Prince?"

"Don't you think you shouldn't learn the rules anymore? Since you have taken the post of serving the fourth brother, as the first-class court lady next to the fourth brother, how can you take care of the night watch by others? The purpose of your visit today is to be alone. I understand. Go to the Compassionate Peace Palace. Just learn the rules well."

Cuiyan muttered, wanting to say something, but she also knew that the matter was settled, and it was not her who could influence it.And according to what the prince said, she probably won't be used in this life, her future is hopeless, and she might be punished if she learns the rules again, but at least her life is safe.The prince didn't intend to take her life.

Cuiyan heaved a sigh of relief, and exited in an orderly manner.

With the lessons learned from Cuiyan Cuiyun, all the slaves around Yinzhen tightened their skins, changed their previous attitude, and began to rack their brains to treat Yinzhen well and take care of him meticulously.The psychology has also changed little by little. From the beginning, the order of the imperial concubine was the first, and now it has faintly formed the thought of Yinzhen as the main one.

In this regard, Yinfeng finally let go of his heart.

Time moved forward little by little, and soon it was late July. Following the report of the great harvest in the south of the Yangtze River, the capital and the surrounding states also ushered in a big harvest of grain, and the yield per mu was very impressive.Regardless of the north and the south, the average value can reach [-] catties.

Unlike last year's pilot implementation, this year is the first time that new rice has been planted on a wide scale, which is a good start.The name of hybrid rice has become famous all over the country, and it has aroused heated discussions among scholars, farmers, businessmen and all walks of life.

Kangxi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. The excitement lasted for many days and still didn't subside. He pulled the officials to discuss, and even the imperial concubine couldn't care less.

And at this moment, Yinfeng sent another piece of good news.

Cement production is a success!

Fu Quanxuan's cement factory is located on the outskirts of Kyoto.In order to reduce pollution to the greatest extent, Yinfeng specifically asked the system to take this into consideration during design, and proposed to place the specific location in a non-residential area without farmland.Therefore, the road is not easy to walk in such a sparsely populated place.

Kangxi had never been here in person, but he knew something from Fuquan.This place is also the place that must pass through when going north from Beijing. I have seen it in a carriage when passing by before, so I have a rough idea of ​​what it is like.And Li Guangdi, the daily lecturer and daily life commentary who accompanied him, knew better.

In the past, there was only a winding path here, full of potholes, and it was full of mud when it rained. Cars and horses could not enter, and even pedestrians had difficulty.But now what comes into view is a flat and wide avenue, which leads directly to the front gate of the factory, and an open flat land 60 meters long and 40 meters wide is paved in front of the gate.

Li Guangdi stomped his feet in disbelief: "Prince, is the road under your feet built with the new materials you mentioned?"

"Exactly!" Yinfeng led Kangxi in with a smile, "Khan Ama, there is construction going on over there, why don't you go and see for yourself what they do?"

"go with!"

Of course go!Kangxi was also very curious.Such a flat road surface cannot be done by ordinary craftsmanship.

Seeing a group of nobles approaching, the workers stopped their work one after another, kowtowed and knelt down. They were so nervous that they were overwhelmed. It was Fuquan who came forward to appease them and let them do what they should do. Then they calmed down.

Yinreng patted Ling Guang: "Introduce to Ama Khan."

Ling Guang nodded, pointed to something beside the worker and said, "Uncle Huang, this is cement."

Li Guangdi didn't think it was dirty, so he squatted down and grabbed a handful: "So delicate?"

"Cement is used as a binder, and if it is not delicate, it will not work."

"Adhesive?" Li Guangdi looked at the workers and cement curiously, "What are they?"

"Concrete is formed by mixing cement with sand and gravel and other substances." Ling Guang brought everyone to several craftsmen who were paving the road. With one layer of pure cement, the pavement becomes durable and smooth."

Li Guangdi was amazed again and again.Kangxi pointed to the gap under his feet and asked: "I walked all the way, and saw a gap at a certain distance. The gap is regular and orderly. It doesn't seem to be cracked, but is it intentional?"

"Yes!" Ling Guang explained, "This is called shrinkage."

Kangxi was curious: "What is shrinkage seam?"

"Cement has its own characteristics. When it hydrates, it releases a lot of heat, which causes the temperature of the concrete to rise. When its reaction is over, the temperature will drop. Due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, shrinkage and cooling may occur. Cracking. And the direction of this cracking is uncontrollable.

"Therefore, we create shrinkage joints at intervals to guide shrinkage cracks to the cutting direction and prevent random cracking and damage to the pavement.②"

Everyone:? ? ?WTF?

Ling Guang:? ? ?You've explained everything so clearly, don't you understand?

He looked at Yinfeng helplessly, frowning in distress.He used to study with the master in the monastery. Although the master learned slowly and not as fast as him, as long as he explained it once, the master could understand the general even if he couldn't.So is Uncle Wei.

But when he arrived in the capital, he found that no one except the prince could understand what he said.Even if he tried to speak as plainly as possible and pointed out the principles one by one, it was still the same.

Yinfeng laughed: "Khan Ama, this expansion with heat and contraction with cold means that if you pour cold water into a cup that has just been filled with hot water and is still hot now, the cup will burst. The same is true vice versa. The road is about the same."

Kangxi was stunned, "This cement is quite special."

Yinfeng continued: "That's not all. For example, don't look at the earthworkers who are shoveling sand and gravel while putting cement and stirring skillfully. It looks very simple. There is also a trick here. Cement and sand and gravel are mixed. The established ratio. The ratio is not right, and it will not achieve the effect we want.”

Kangxi said with emotion: "It is said that 360 skills can lead to the number one scholar. Since you are the number one scholar, you must be knowledgeable. Sure enough, there is a skill in one line."

Yinfeng leaned over affectionately: "So, as a layman, Han Ama, just watch the fun and get to know it. Don't embarrass brother Guang, his hair is almost gone!"

Ling Guang put down the hand scratching his head in embarrassment, and smiled Hanhan.

Kangxi pointed to the white lines on both sides of the flat ground and said, "What is this? Also to prevent cracking?"

"No! This is a parking space!"

Kangxi:? ? ?

"Khan Ama, I was thinking that since the cement has been successfully made, it must be put into production. Naturally, this place will be taken over by the Ministry of Industry. These days, it is very inconvenient for Brother Guang to come and go with Uncle Huang, and it is not easy to drive and horses Parked. If it is taken over by the Ministry of Industry in the future, officials will definitely come and go frequently, and even have to send a few people to stay permanently.

"So I thought it would be possible to draw a grid one by one, and park a carriage in each grid. There are mangers and horse food in it. Khan Ama, look, doesn't this look a lot more regular?"

Kangxi nodded, "Indeed."

The father and son talked all the way here, walking all the way in, and after going around the factory, Kangxi also had a basic understanding of cement production.At this time, the accompanying officials had already lay down on the ground and studied the real thing.

Half an hour later, Kangxi looked at the group of dirty people and asked, "How?"

"Returning to the emperor, the minister and others have done some simple tests. The concrete synthesized by this material is indeed strong, with strong water resistance and durability. Although it may not be as strong as the big rock, but the rock needs to be mined and excavated, and it is difficult to transport along the way. And good rocks are limited. This one can produce energy!

"I have asked you. The whole road from here to the official road, including the large flat land in front of the gate, only took two days from the beginning to the completion. The weather is fine now. It was paved the day before and dried the next day. It’s ready to use. It’s very convenient. If you use it to build bridges and roads, it’s perfect.”

Kangxi's expression became serious, and he pointed to Fuquan: "You first enclose this place, the others will follow me back to the palace, and we have to discuss a specific regulation."

As for how to make this charter, Yinfeng doesn't know.All he knew was that a few days later, the cement factory was taken over by the imperial court and became another secret base besides Huangzhuang, which was strictly guarded and controlled like an imperial palace.Kangxi also surrounded the factory and surrounded the factory for expansion.The factory began to rush to work day and night.

Half a month later, the first concrete official road appeared in the capital.

The people were amazed and talked a lot.

"What's going on here! It's not like this when I entered the city a few days ago! It seems to have popped up overnight!"

"Who says it's not! And walking on this road, my carriage won't bump! Look at how flat this road is!"

"I heard that it was repaired by the imperial court. The new material used is called mud water!"

"Bah, bah, bah! What muddy water, that's called cement!"

"Yes, yes, it is cement. It is said to be very strong and not easy to break after a long time. Let me tell you! My aunt's cousin's second uncle's son was called into the cement factory a while ago, and he learned this. This one He still has a job to repair the road! He said, this thing is also taught by the gods. It is the same as the cowpox and hybrid rice before. It is all the skills of the gods!"

"Is this also a fairy?"

"Of course! Look at the road we walked before, and then look at this. If it weren't for the gods, who would have such a great ability? Has the emperor been worried about the floods in the Huanghuai River?"

"What does this have to do with the emperor's worry about the Huanghuai River?"

"Don't interrupt, just listen to me. If you want water, you can't build dams? You can't build dams without stone? Cement is the envoy sent by the gods to help the prince complete it after hearing the emperor's worries! The envoy is none other than The young master who was just found by Prince Yu's mansion this year."

Everyone suddenly realized, bowed and kowtowed in the direction of the palace one after another: "Thank the gods! Thank you for the mighty grace!"

Ling Guang: Me?Fairy messenger?
