When the car came to Zhuangli, Kelly asked the housekeeper to lead him to the kiln entrance, only to find that twenty people were doing it in full swing.
When Chen masons saw Kelly coming, they stopped their work and ran over and said, "Young Master, the old man in the kiln mouth asked them to do it together. Now the old man thinks it can be faster."
Wang Ke nodded and said, "So we can grab a little when we are tight. Is there a problem with Master Chen? If you have it, please tell me as soon as I wait for the two masters in the house to take out the size. I have to go and design the house. It is estimated that it will take several days to come, and then I can’t say it. "
Chen masons wanted to think before saying, "Now it seems that there should be no problem. The young master has to pay close attention to this kiln mouth, but it won’t be long before it is finished here. Don’t delay it." Wang
Cosette patted his forehead and said, "I’m so busy that I forgot to tell you that you can’t go into the house for construction after the kiln mouth is repaired. I’ll take a few days to teach you some professional things. I want to repair the house, which is different from now."
Chen masons have seen carpenters working in the village, and they know that it is also the young master’s training center. Without asking anything, they quickly said, "Do what the young master says, or it will be done when it is late."
Kelly smiled and said, "It is better to tell you how to do it first than to learn from you and listen to my arrangement while doing it."
Kelly didn’t find anything wrong after seeing several kilns being built. He said goodbye to the masons and hurried back. He had to rush back to design the house style.
Kelly rushed for three days and nights, and finally drew the layout and style of the house he wanted in his mind. Unfortunately, there was no printer (in fact, there was no printer because there was no one in the Tang Dynasty). Wang Ke was so kind as to draw a pen on paper in his head. When he drew all the drawings, news came from Zhuangli that several kiln mouths had been repaired.
Early the next morning, Kelly came to the village and watched the kiln workers take their positions in an orderly way for a while before turning back to the village and greeting the masons together to teach future generations the construction methods.
Of course, Kelly didn’t want to repair dozens of high-rise reinforced concrete buildings. He wanted to build his own house into a typical western villa in the future, that is, a two-and-a-half-story one, and then build a beautiful landscape garden
Kelly told these people in detail what he had learned about decoration, Chen Masons, but it was the first time they heard about this kind of house repair method. They all listened intently for fear of missing even one sentence of Wang Ke’s key point, Kelly, and they didn’t learn to pick up the important places in a few days, so they couldn’t wait for the time being and learn by doing in practice.
In a hurry for a few days, Kelly taught the masons almost enough, and a batch of lime and bricks had been burned. Kelly asked people to send these materials to the house while arranging the masons to clean up the site, pay off and dig the foundation, while he stayed in the village to try out cement.
Kelly still vaguely remembers that cement is made by mixing four things, namely oilstone, lime, coal and clay, in proportion, through several processes, such as crushing, agglomeration, firing and re-crushing. Kelly still remembers clearly that the equipment needed is relatively simple. This method has been eliminated in later generations, but it can also be called indigenous firing method in the Tang Dynasty, because if we follow the new technology of later generations, Kelly will implement it due to equipment problems.
After two days of trial burning, Kelly finally saw qualified cement appear in front of him. This Kelly is really full of confidence. All the materials needed in the early stage are already available except steel bars. This steel bar Kelly was also planned long ago. When he was still repairing the kiln mouth, Kelly had asked Zhang Shu to find a blacksmith to make a lot of them and move them back to the house.
Now that the formal work has been completed, it can be carried out normally. Kelly has arranged the progress of the project slowly. After his short-term training, the workers have worked exactly according to the drawings. He knows that he should do something about Li Ke now.
Chapter 69 Steel
Kelly came to the palace to find Comrade Li Er and said, "Did the emperor think about gunpowder years ago?"
Comrade Li Er saw that Kelly had taken the initiative in this matter. What new ideas did Wang Ke have? He hurriedly said, "Do you have any ideas? Tell me quickly. "
Wang Ke solemnly said, "The emperor and minister should act first because this matter is of great importance. This management candidate should be well considered!"
Comrade Li Er pondered for a moment and said quietly, "Tell me your opinion first."
Kelly said, "Minister gunpowder makes me a strong Datang army, and my unique Datang can take the lead in the war against the enemy, shorten the war and reduce the casualties of my Datang soldiers, so I can’t just find someone to manage it, but I should be a person who is absolutely loyal to the emperor and has no distractions."
When Comrade Li Er stayed, he didn’t think so much, but he wanted to leave it to the Ministry of Industry. Now he feels that there is some truth in what Kelly said, but he always feels that it is not as serious as what Kelly said, so he asked, "Is there anything wrong with leaving it to the Ministry of Industry?"
Kelly replied, "It’s not that it’s inappropriate, but that it should belong to me at present. The Ministry of Industry, the top secret of Datang, is crowded and difficult to go out. Once it is listened to by a willing heart, it will be harmful and beneficial to our DPRK."
Comrade Li Er asked again, "Who is the most suitable to manage the small school?"
Kelly deliberately hesitated to say, "It is most appropriate for me to manage this matter, but now I have too many facts to get rid of when I marry the princess."
Wang Ke stopped to sneak a peek at Comrade Li Er’s feeling that Comrade Li Er didn’t mean to blame himself before continuing to say, "I think it’s best to leave this matter to which temple to manage the emperor and then dispatch a battalion of military forces to guard it. This should be the best way."
Comrade Li Er said with a pensive look, "Is it appropriate to send a temple to manage it? What’s your reason? "
Kelly said, "The temple is the emperor’s son. He will do his best in this matter and will not be afraid of someone playing tricks to get the gunpowder secret out of the temple."
Kelly knew that when he said this, Comrade Li Er would certainly think that he was recommending Li Ke, but now there is no other way for Kelly to express his meaning to Comrade Li Er in this ambiguous way, which seems to be without saying which temple to let him do it.
Sure enough, Comrade Li Er said bluntly, "It’s nothing to let Ke do it! Can’t I do something else? "
Wang Ke smiled and said, "Not to say no, but no! Emperor, please think that Taidian is going to inherit the Great Unity. Now is the time to learn how to govern the country with the emperor. If you do this kind of thing, it will be worth putting the cart before the horse. The second temple likes to study prose since childhood, and has no interest in military affairs. If he is allowed to manage it, he will definitely enter through the door. It won’t be surprising that the four temples can write and compile, but they can kill the enemy in the field. Nai is really unable to manage one way; Other temples are too young to bear this, but it is appropriate for the three temples to take this position. "
Comrade Li Er thought for a moment and said, "But I don’t care if I know how to play in the DPRK. I’m afraid he can’t bear the heavy burden."
Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er did not resolutely refuse to know that there was still room for manoeuvre. He replied, "I have been in contact with the temple for a long time, but I still know that some things in the three halls are indulged in fun on weekdays, but things in the house are also arranged in an orderly way. It is because of this that the emperor should let him have something to do and not indulge in pleasure. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to make anything happen!"
Comrade Li Er looked at Kelly for a long time before he said, "The novel seems to have some truth, so you can know if you can win it?"
Wang Ke still hesitated when he saw Comrade Li Er, so he said, "It’s easy for the emperor to recruit three temples to the palace and ask him what he thinks about this matter. If the temple can clearly and freely express its views on this matter, it will naturally win. If the emperor can’t consider others’ choices, it’s not too late."
After that, Kelly added, "Otherwise, the emperor can invite several temples to let them express their ideas and choose a candidate to manage this matter."
Comrade Li Er thought about hitting each other with his hands and said, "Yes, let them all talk about it and see who can give a good opinion."
Say that finish called Yang’s father-in-law said, "You and I ordered Taitai, the second, third and fourth temples to come to me in the afternoon. I have something to ask them about today. You must not say a word to anyone."
Then he turned to Kelly and said, "People come with you, and you accompany me to listen to what they all say."
Kelly promised to bid farewell to Comrade Li Er and went straight to Li Kefu.
He will tell Li Ke in advance and teach him how to say it in order to firmly grasp the matter.
Chapter seventy Military and Political Affairs (1)
Kelly looked at Li Ke, who came to his home early in the morning, and frowned and said, "How can we go to the palace together? At this time, we have to split up. You have to go to the palace yourself and pretend to inquire about what the emperor asked you to do."
When Wang Ke saw Li Ke, he explained with a smile, "Don’t say that you are really not white when I said the temple. This is because the emperor and I said that the emperor also strictly ordered Yang’s father-in-law not to tell anyone that if you know everything, don’t you goof?"
Li Ke still said with some stage fright, "I’m still a little scared."
Kelly cheered him up and said, "Nothing, just do as we said last night. You must add some idioms to your words, and you can also add some ideas. If the main direction is not right, there should be no major changes."
Li Ke couldn’t look at Kelly and murmured, "Then I’ll go back first and then I’ll go to the palace."
Kelly accompanied Li Ke to go out and said, "Don’t worry, you have been to the advanced palace. I will come at noon. It’s okay. We have nothing to be afraid of."
Looking away, Li Ke Kelly smiled and shook his head and walked back to his room. What Kelly needs now is to seriously think about it for a while and go to the palace. He should do what he can to help Li Ke without showing any traces, and he will not let Comrade Li Er give opinions on his obvious partiality.
After lunch, Wang Ke came to the palace and just entered the imperial room, he saw many people inside looking at Comrade Li Er’s throne. Comrade Li Er hasn’t come to Kelly to look at a room. There are really many acquaintances.
Kelly wanted to see if Li Ke had come, but he saw the old man Wang Si coming to meet him and said, "Dad, why are so many people here?"
Wang Si looked at those people and said to Kelly, "The emperor hasn’t come yet. Why are you here now? What if the emperor came?"
Kelly said otherwise, "The emperor said he would come in the afternoon. It’s not wrong that the baby came just after noon."
Wang Si knows that he can’t say this, but he said naively, "If you are right, go and say hello to the adults."
Kelly "Oh" has always helped the Tang Dynasty bosses to walk and see who is present. I just knew a lot of people. Now I have a closer look to know what people are there. There are grandchildren in the civil service, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zhi, Gao Shilian and his father Wang Si; There are even more military attaché s: Li Gong, Wei Chijingde, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, and four people whose names they don’t know.
Kelly thought, "There are a lot of people. If it weren’t for Excavate, they went to Turkey, and this military commander would be even more crowded. What are these old killers doing here?"
As soon as Wang Ke approached the gang, he was pulled by Cheng Zhijie and said to him, "Come here and let the old man introduce you to these old killers."
Kelly said in his heart, "You are the old killer." He pointed to the civilian and said with a smile apologetically, "Uncle, don’t worry, little nephew, go and say hello to them first. We are all in Wu Zhi and don’t worry about it for a while."
Cheng Zhijie looked at the group of civil servants and said, "Go and come back quickly. Don’t go and never come back for a long time!"
Kelly said quickly, "No, my little nephew will be back soon."
Said hastily walked to the civil service circle.
Come near Kelly raised my hand to the nearest Fang Xuanling and said, "The room’s adult is good, and the little nephew has to trouble the room’s adult."
Fang Xuanling replied that "it’s really an honor for Wang’s adult to marry the princess. It’s no trouble."
Hearing the conversation between the two men, the civil servants all turned their heads to Kelly and said the same thing to Du Ruhui after a busy meeting.
After everyone said it for a while, Kelly said in a circle arch, "Dear uncles, talk about my little nephew first, and you have to go there to see the ceremony. You can’t stay with your uncles. When your little nephew’s home is repaired, please ask your uncles to come home."
Kelly’s behavior makes these civilian officers very happy. In this era, military attaché s are very reluctant to fight with civilian officers, and Wang Ke, from the four military commanders, can come and say hello to them first and then go to the military attaché s. He said to them in unison, "Be careful of those old killers."
Kelly nodded with a smile and thanked the military commanders here.
