Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 91 Zhu Gaochi: Why didn't such a good thing happen to me when I supervised the country?

Zhu Zhanji became busy again in the next few days.

Zhou Chen was promoted, and Zhu Zhanji's subordinates became short of people again.

Glass factories and textile factories need people to be responsible. Both things are very important, and ordinary people Zhu Zhanji is not familiar with them, so they are not at ease.

Letting Zhou Chen stay here is somewhat overkill. After all, it is somewhat unreasonable for a dignified left servant of the Ministry of Industry and a senior official of the third rank to stay in the same factory every day.

On Jinyiwei's side, the young army is about to be formed, and Zhang Mao will be transferred out again at that time.

After all, Zhu Zhanji said this before, but when Zhang Mao left, Jin Yiwei was free again.

Moreover, Jin Yiwei is even more troublesome. Although my grandfather handed Jin Yiwei over to him,
But the people arranged here must also know how to measure. What should be done and what should not be done are all knowledge. Zhang Mao did a good job, but it may not be necessary to change someone.

Looking at it this way, he found that he was quite embarrassed. There were too few confidantes and talents in his hands.

After filling that hole, this hole will be emptied, and each one is very important.

In the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Zhanji looked at a concrete brick that was crushed again in front of him, with a slight smile on his face.

Regarding the cement matter, Liu Zhe did a good job, and left him to get samples the next day.

However, this thing is easy to make, but it is a bit troublesome to meet the qualified standard of cement, and it needs to be adjusted constantly.

There were no hydraulic presses in this era, and no other machinery for measuring.

The only way Zhu Zhanji can test the hardness of cement is to directly press it with a heavy object.

After Zhu Zhanji tried the cement samples sent for the first time, he was not satisfied.

A small concrete block with a side length of about ten centimeters, he just put a weight of about four tons on it, and the concrete block began to deform and then shattered.

Converted into a standard pressure test, this kind of data is roughly equivalent to forty standard atmospheric pressure.

Although this kind of cement is enough to surprise people of this era, even if some low-rise houses are built, there is no problem at all, but Zhu Zhanji is not satisfied.

After all, cement is the key thing for him to start Daming Infrastructure in the future.

Even if it can't meet the standards of later generations, it can't be too different.

Fortunately, after several days of testing, he finally came up with a cement that satisfied him.

It can almost reach the standard of [-]% of ordinary cement in later generations.

After making the cement he was satisfied with, Zhu Zhanji didn't stop.

Instead, Zhou Chen directly transferred more than [-] craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry.

Now Zhou Chen has become the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, and Huang Fu, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is a no-nonsense person, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhou Chen is Zhu Zhanji's man.

Huang Fu didn't dare to ask about this grandson, and now he was basically in a semi-retired state.

All the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, large and small, were also taken over by Zhou Chen smoothly. Although Zhou Chen did not have the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry at this time, all rights were the same.

This is also the happiest place for Zhu Zhanji. It is not difficult to promote Zhou Chen to the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

After all, Zhou Chen himself was born as a Jinshi, and he still stayed in the position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Punishment, for a full ten years.

Plus the credit for the wool gloves.

Regardless of one's own ability or qualifications, it is nothing to be promoted to the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

However, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry is obviously impossible. After all, he is a dignified second-rank official of the imperial court.

Therefore, the existence of Huang Fu undoubtedly provided convenience to Zhu Zhanji.

Only by mastering the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Zhanji's many things will become smoother.

In the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Zhanji emptied a useless courtyard early.

There are many such courtyards in the imperial palace, and there are also many in the Prince's Mansion.

On weekdays, there are some elderly fake mandarin ducks in private in the palace, who will quietly go to these places and do some shameless things.

As for the buildings inside, no one used them in the first place, and no one would come here at ordinary times. Naturally, there was no need for maintenance, and they had been completely abandoned over time.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about these sesame mung beans. The main reason for choosing this yard was that he felt that this yard was not too far from his yard.

After having people demolish all the buildings inside, even the ground was replaced with a new layer of soil,

Zhu Zhanji asked Liu Zhe and Zhou Chen to deliver a large amount of cement and glass directly to the yard.

What should be enjoyed is still to be enjoyed, so Zhu Zhanji plans to build a greenhouse for himself first.

After all, there is glass, and even cement, Zhu Zhanji let Liu Zhe get it out.

With everything in place, setting up a small greenhouse for yourself and planting some off-season vegetables can naturally be put on the agenda.

Although there were buildings like fire chambers in this era, especially in the imperial palace, the vegetables that could be cultivated in buildings like fire chambers were really limited.

After all, it is a house that cannot see the sun, and most of them are yellow vegetables, such as bean sprouts, chives, and celery.

And the price is very high, even if Zhu Zhanji is the grandson of the emperor, it is not easy to eat such a portion.

In some folk restaurants, the value of a serving of chives is extremely expensive in winter, and it can only be enjoyed by about three to forty taels of silver.

Of course, there are also green vegetables grown next to the hot springs. Not to mention the requirements for the terrain, the growth of vegetables is not very good.
And the price is higher, Zhu Zhanji saw a restaurant selling this kind of cucumber before, a small one, about the thickness of a finger, is worth two silver, and the taste is not good.

The cheapest one might be cabbage. Cabbage is durable. This stuff is in the north, and people store it in large quantities almost every winter.

Cellaring cabbage is the most popular in the north, especially in the Suncheon area, but it is relatively rare in the south, and even because of the geographical environment, it can be said to be very rare.

The cabbage in the palace is basically transported from the north, and the price is not low.

So after testing the cement in the past few days, Zhu Zhanji allocated more than 30 taels of silver to Liu Zhe and began to prepare for the construction of a new cement plant.

On the one hand, I took the time to design this greenhouse.

With cement, construction begins to be simple.

Coupled with the preparation in the early stage, various matters in the later stage become easier.

After more than 20 craftsmen became familiar with things like cement and glass, it took less than five days for a decent greenhouse to appear in the yard.

These days Zhu Gaochi is busy with the affairs of the Wenhui, and he doesn't pay much attention to his son's affairs.

By the time he found out, the greenhouse had been completely built.

For the load-bearing structure of the main body, Zhu Zhanji used cement and special steel, plus some wood to fix it, and then covered the whole with glass.

In order to achieve a constant temperature, Zhu Zhanji had someone build a thick insulation wall with cement and earth on one side of the greenhouse.

A fire room is added at both ends, and as firewood is added, the temperature of the greenhouse immediately feels like an air conditioner is turned on.

Not long after Zhu Gaochi came in, his forehead was already sweating.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji, he quickly shouted:
"son!"

Zhu Zhanji was checking whether there was any air leakage in the greenhouse. When he heard his silly father shouting, he turned around, smiled and said hello:

"Father, are you here?"

Zhu Gaochi walked over while wiping his sweat, looked at Zhu Zhanji, then at the greenhouse, and said, "Son, what are you going to do..."

Zhu Zhanji saw that his stupid father was sweating from the heat, and while helping Zhu Gaochi take off his coat, he explained: "This is called a greenhouse, um, it's a fire room, and it's used to grow vegetables in winter!"

Huomuro Zhu Gaochi knew about it, and he was not surprised by planting vegetables in winter, but pointed to the glass around him, and opened his mouth:
"But... this... crystal..."

Mrs. Zhang knows about the glass. After all, Zhu Zhanji made two mirrors, and one of them was given to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was quite interested.

When the glass mirror looks in the mirror, the characters in the mirror are more real. Women, how many people don't like to look in the mirror?
So he felt that his son was really kind to her, and he actually got her such a large piece of high-quality crystal and ground it into a mirror.

But later I heard that this thing is made of a pile of sand, which is similar to the glazed tiles used to build a house. After I can have as many as I want, I immediately lost interest.

If it weren't for the fact that the glass mirror looked a little better than the bronze mirror, maybe Zhu Zhanji would have just rolled his eyes.

After all, who would give a gift, a pile of sand, to his wife?

However, Zhu Gaochi has been busy with literature meetings recently, leaving early and returning late, so he doesn't know.

This is also the first time I saw it. Seeing the seemingly expensive crystal in front of him, but it was used by his son to make such a greenhouse or something, he didn't know how to speak for a while. .

Yes, Zhu Gaochi took this thing as a crystal at first sight.

Although he was surprised that Zhu Zhanji could get so many crystals, he was even more speechless because his son used these crystals to make a greenhouse.

Feel too extravagant.

He was not so shocked by things like glass.

After all, he knew that his son was very rich, so it was not uncommon to get some crystals.

Zhu Zhanji handed the coat in his hand to the maid who was following him, and while continuing to check the situation in the greenhouse, he said:

"Father, this is not crystal. These things are all called glass. As long as you know that this thing is made of a pile of sand, the value is about the same as colored glaze."

"It's about the same as Liuli?"

Hearing his son's words, Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and looked suspicious. It's not like he hasn't seen glazed glass before. The main halls in the palace are made of glazed tiles, but the one in front of him is obviously crystal.

But seeing his son like this, he couldn't refute, paused, and said with some worry:
"Son, even if it's Liuli, but you demolished this courtyard, if your grandfather knows about this, he will definitely not spare you."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Zhanji immediately grinned and said, "I'm not stupid about this, I must have told my grandfather before I did it!"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, but he was relieved when he heard Zhu Zhanji said that he had talked to the old man, and then asked curiously, "Then what did your grandfather say?"

"I didn't say anything."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Gaochi, smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa just asked me, is one courtyard enough? If not, I can demolish two more. He said it was the courtyard of the imperial palace. As long as it is not an important place, I can demolish it casually." , and asked me if I have enough money? If not, I will take it from his internal money, and give him a discount when the time comes!"

"This is your grandfather?"

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened, his face was in disbelief, and he was even more shocked than seeing his son build this fire room with glass and crystal.

When did my old man become so talkative?
In the past, I used to be careful when I supervised the country, and I was cautious in everything. Just like this, I would be called to scare me from time to time.

Why did the old man become a different person immediately when he came to his son's prison country?

The courtyard in the palace is demolished casually?
If the money is not enough, it will be withdrawn from the internal funds?

Why didn't such a good thing happen when I supervised the country?
