I joined the army for my father, and I took Hua Mulan to build infrastructure.

After playing around for a while, Ye Nan completely missed the time to go to court.

Ye Nan ate a large bowl of beef noodles and fish in the trapped camp, then he rode Heifeng slowly and rushed to the Pingcheng Palace.

Accompanying us were two helpless old soldiers...

"General, why don't you let us go back? This sudden announcement that we want to see the emperor makes our little legs weak!"

"Yes, yes, sir general, I have an eighty-year-old mother at home and a one-year-old baby waiting to be fed. Please spare me. We don't want to go to the palace!"

The two old soldiers were not afraid of death in battle, but they were actually afraid of the emperor!

Ye Nan scolded: "Looking at your prospects, let alone the old man who came out of my camp and led you to your death. Are you afraid of a basket?"

Social status in ancient times was strict, and they did not have Ye Nan's outlook on life from later generations. When they heard that they were about to meet the emperor, everyone was frightened...

Ye Nan said again: "When has this general ever harmed you? This time I go to the palace to see the emperor. You two are my general's face. Please straighten your backs and don't tremble. Maybe, this general can give me some help." You want an official to be here?"

When the two old soldiers heard this, they immediately became energetic and asked: "General, are you serious about this?"

"Oh, your legs don't shake now, right? It's a lie! This general just lied to you on purpose."

"Ah! How can this be so? General, you must keep your word!"

Along the way, Ye Nan bullied the two old soldiers into bitter faces. If we had known that the General liked to torture people so much, we would not have jumped out and said that we were carpenters!

Royal Palace

In the emperor's study, Eunuch Huang, the official at the imperial office, walked up to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongyong is asking to see you. He also brought two pawns who were trapped in the camp. The tools he carried have been checked and there is no danger."

Tuoba Tao nodded, and then said: "Then let him come in."

He was thinking that Marquis Zhongyong had just vowed to go back yesterday. He wouldn't have finished building those clods and bricks today, would he? "

At this time, he was the only one in the study. Even his uncle Sun Jun had finished his official duties and went home.

Ye Nan, with two restless old soldiers, followed Eunuch Huang into the Emperor's study in a swaggering manner.

Ye Nan bowed and said: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The two old soldiers followed suit and bent down to salute.

Tuoba Tao looked at the two old soldiers and said: "Without courtesy, Ping Shen, Zhongyong Hou, what kind of battle are you doing today? Why did you bring all the pawns in the camp to me?"

Ye Nan coughed and cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, please don't underestimate them. The general has taught them this peerless skill step by step. We have lived up to your Majesty's high expectations. We have woven soil with suitable strength." Brick, I’m just waiting for His Majesty’s inspection!”

Tuoba Tao became interested. He stood up, came to Ye Nan and said, "It seems that Marquis Zhongyong is determined to win. Then take out the clods and bricks and let me give you a hand."

The two old soldiers immediately took out four bricks from their arms, then held them and handed them to the emperor.

Tuoba Tao glanced at the adobe brick that had two corners smashed out, then looked at the other intact adobe brick. He reached out, picked up the adobe brick and smashed it to the ground!

There was a crisp sound, and the bricks rolled on the ground several times, but they were not smashed!

Tuoba Tao was really shocked by the sturdiness of the mud bricks. He pointed at the bricks on the ground that had only been smashed a little bit at the corners and said, "Ye Nan, are you sure these are bricks made of mud, not bricks made of clay?" Fired bricks?”

Ye Nan clasped his fists and said, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. These clay bricks are indeed made of loess!"

Tuoba Tao didn't know what he thought of, and he was so excited that he walked around the study.

In a hurry, Tuoba Tao pulled Ye Nan towards the side hall behind the study! The two of them hid in the side hall and muttered.

I heard Tuoba Tao ask: "Mr. Ye, how much does this adobe brick cost? Is it more than five cents?"

Ye Nan said: "How can it be so expensive? Where did the cost of my adobe bricks come from? They are all made of loess from the ground, as well as the broken wheat straw and rice soup. They are all common things in ordinary people's homes."

"Hiss! In other words, there is no threshold for making this adobe brick. Anyone can make it?" Tuoba Tao exclaimed.

Ye Nan smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the two of them finished muttering, they returned to the study.

Tuoba Tao sat on the chair and said: "You two come forward and listen to the seal!"

"what!"

Ye Nan kicked his hind legs and shouted: "Ah what? His Majesty is going to grant you official positions, why don't you kneel down quickly?"

thump!

The two of them knelt down in front of Ye Nan. The general was so powerful that he got the official position so easily!

"Young man, take the order!"

Tuoba Tao said: "It is really disrespectful to let you stay in the trap camp. In this way, I will appoint you as the lieutenant of the trap camp, and you will be dedicated to making these bricks. Wait for my summons, and you can retreat."

The two old soldiers kowtowed and thanked them, and walked out of the emperor's study, feeling extremely happy!

Seeing that there was no one around, Tuoba Tao said: "No wonder you want me to serve as a shield for you. Once these adobe bricks are launched among the people, these famous families will be eager to tear you apart. When the time comes, their I'm afraid the brick will be thrown into my hand, hahaha!"

Tuoba Tao couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. Ye Nan's cost of making adobe bricks was almost zero, and he could make hundreds of adobe bricks in just one meal. Isn't this a great thing that fell from the sky?

Tuoba Tao was worried that he had no means to check the chances of these wealthy families, so Ye Nan made the adobe bricks by mistake. He was indeed a lucky general for everyone!

With adobe bricks, the monopoly of aristocratic families can be broken, and people all over the country can build houses, stoves and other buildings at low cost.

Nothing can make an emperor happier than this. Tuoba Tao inherited Tuoba Si's character and cherished the people under his rule.

However, the adobe bricks cannot be made public at the moment. We have to wait until the stoves are popularized among the noble families before making the adobe bricks public to the world.

Tsk tsk, Tuoba Tao can already imagine the faces of these people. They must be ugly...

Ye Nan and Tuoba Tao formed a partnership and tricked the noble families of the Wei Kingdom. Currently, the emperor can only carry this blame, and Ye Nan cannot carry her.

Seeing that the black-faced emperor's smile turned into a red-faced emperor, Ye Nan asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what month of vacation will the general have?"

Tuoba Tao waved his hand and said: "I have approved it for you! Why is thirty days enough? I will directly give you sixty days!"

Ye Nan immediately shouted excitedly: "Long live your Majesty!"

Tuoba Tao smiled and said: "De Xing! Don't leave in a hurry. It's not too late to accompany me to the East Palace for a homely meal and then go back."

Ye Nan is not afraid of cheating on his own now. With the help of the Queen Mother, who have I been afraid of in the harem?

Thanks to Yu Ruyi for the reward, and thanks to Ping An for voting with Fu99’s monthly votes, okay?
