The ministers of infrastructure knelt down and begged the scientific research boss to be enthroned

Chapter 140
Hu Yinghao nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, let's go, the girl is still waiting for news!"

The two were lucky enough to disappear in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few fallen leaves blown by the wind dancing in place.

According to the plan, Huixin was supposed to bring the imperial guards to find him, but a heavy snow blocked the road, so he couldn't find him for the time being.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it has become a luxury to return to Beijing before the year, so Wei Chenrui sent a letter to Huixin, asking them to come back after the year.

Because the mud bricks and tiles are cheap to build, before the snow came, the village chief led the people in the village to replace all those thatched houses that would run away when blown and collapsed with adobe houses. The heavy snow did not affect the village. How much damage is caused.

But it was different in the next door village, where several old people were still crushed to death by the collapsed roof.

When the news came, Wei Chenrui was silent for a while before making up his mind to go to the village chief.

"Grandpa the village chief, have you heard about the dead people in the next village?"

The village head knew Wei Chenrui's identity, so he couldn't bear her honorifics, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't do this, the little old man can't afford it."

Wei Chenrui waved his hand: "You are an elder, and I respect you very much, so you don't need to care about these things."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief before he said, "Of course I've heard about the incident in the next-door village, and I can't help but feel very lucky! If you hadn't led the people in the village to research the clay bricks and tiles, our village would probably have no more knowledge at this time." How many will die."

According to the village chief, such things must happen every year. Wei Chenrui couldn't bear it: "Did they all die after the roof collapsed?"

The village chief shook his head: "Not all, the village will also call people to clean the roof. Only those lazy people who don't clean will cause the roof to be crushed. Those people, death is not a pity, there is nothing to regret .”

"Actually, it's more that there are not enough clothes to keep out the cold, and the house is leaking from the wind and snow, so they froze to death."

Wei Chenrui thought for a long time before he said: "Village Chief, I plan to popularize these clay bricks and tiles in the whole Zhao Kingdom, so that all the people can live warmer."

The village head said happily: "This is a good thing! When you first studied this clay brick and tile, wasn't that what you planned to do?"

Wei Chenrui shook his head: "No, I wanted to use this to make money at the beginning, but now, I want to teach it to all the people for free. It's just that it will be a disadvantage for you, after all, it is you who study it. from."

The village head laughed: "You are worrying too much. Without you, we would never have thought of these things, let alone research them. We don't know how many people will die this winter!"

With the words of the village head, Wei Chenrui felt no burden, but he didn't want the village to suffer, so he said: "The village head is righteous, although he can't help the villagers much in terms of money, but in terms of reputation, he will definitely not let you suffer. of."

"After I return to the palace, I must mention this matter to my father, and let my father give the village a name."

For the village, it was a great honor. The village chief knelt down in front of Wei Chenrui excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wei Chenrui quickly helped the village chief up: "What are you doing, village chief, get up quickly!"

The village head wiped away his excited tears, stubbornly refused to get up, and kowtowed heavily: "Little old man can't express his gratitude, so I can only kowtow to you. If you didn't need to hide your identity, little old man You must have everyone in the village come and kowtow to you."

Wei Chenrui couldn't refuse, and it's useless to refuse. The village head has already kowtowed, so he can only increase the reward: "After receiving your great gift, I will feel a little embarrassed if I don't bleed."

"How about this, after I return to the palace, I will send a Jinshi this year to the village to build an ethnology for the village, and all the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones used in the ethnology will come from Huimin's study."

The village chief is not a person who pushes his feet, he waved his hands again and again: "Your Highness, it is already a great gift for you to send a Jinshi to teach the children, how can I ask you to provide pens, inks, papers and inkstones, if you do this, you will spoil the villagers of."

Wei Chenrui thought for a while, and what the village chief said made sense, so he didn't insist, and nodded: "That's okay, I won't provide all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but I can provide some rewards for the children who study well, as a reward. excitation!"

This is a good thing, the village head did not refuse.

The village chief's house was not willing to order a charcoal basin. After sitting for a long time, Wei Chenrui still felt a little cold. After the discussion, he said goodbye and left.

Wei Chenrui lived in the south of the Yangtze River for ten years, and after getting used to it, he was really not used to such a cold winter, so he stayed by the side of the charcoal basin every day.

No, as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the room where the charcoal basin was placed.

Seeing Wei Chenrui rushing in from the outside, He Xinyi asked curiously, "Girl, how important is this for you, to go out against the cold wind."

Wei Chenrui rolled his eyes: "It's not that you are too useless, otherwise I wouldn't need to go out, and I can just leave it to you."

Self-aware He Xinyi shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Kai promptly handed over a Mrs. Tang to Wei Chenrui: "How is it? Is it settled?"

When Wei Chenrui went out to do something, he still greeted Kai, otherwise Kai would not have let Wei Chenrui go out.

Wei Chenrui nodded: "It's settled. The village chief has no objections. He is very tempted by the benefits I offer. I think the villagers will not have any objections."

Kai also felt relieved: "With the village chief under pressure, even if the villagers have opinions, they dare not say anything. Besides, this was originally proposed by you, and you just let them do it."

"I don't know what benefits you promised the village chief? Is it easy to handle? If there is not enough money, I will go to the study to get it for you."

Wei Chenrui smiled: "I didn't give money, I gave other benefits."

Kai also became curious: "What benefits did you promise for the village chief to accept?"

This matter is not a secret, Wei Chenrui did not intend to hide it, so he told the whole story.

After hearing this, He Xinyi couldn't help opening her mouth: "Oh my God, no wonder the village chief agrees. This is a great honor, and it can benefit the entire future generations. Anyone who disagrees is a fool."

There is still a big difference in how men and women look at things. Xue Ji said: "This village chief is much better than the village chief of Wujia Village. He is compassionate and not greedy. He is a good man. No wonder he manages the village in an orderly manner. The village also Nothing messed up."

Wei Chenrui shook his head with a smile on the other hand: "Of course there are messy things in the village, but they don't go too far. The village chief is also fair, unlike the one in Wujia Village who dared to lynch anyone who was indiscriminate. "

Then Wei Chenrui told some of the gossip he heard when he came to Yuanjia Village the first time.
