Su Chen looked at the finished product area of the brick factory, where rows of neatly stacked red bricks were placed, about 800,000 red bricks.
About 200 meters away from the brick factory is the cement manufacturing site.
At this time, the villagers at the cement manufacturing site have not started work yet.
They have to wait for the owner to finish the test before they can enter the production stage.
At the edge of the site, there is a pile of crushed coal, other granular materials similar to lime, and gray clay and crushed ore.
…
Soon, Su Chen and Zhao Hu came to the cement manufacturing site, followed by 6 villagers.
"Owner, how is the cement we produced yesterday?"
Several villagers at the cement site asked impatiently.
"Lao Zhang, the owner said that the cement was successful. Lao Zhao hit it with a hoe, and the bricks would not fall off after hitting it several times."
Before Su Chen spoke, the villagers who followed him excitedly told the villagers at the cement site the good news.
"The owner said that when there is enough cement and red bricks, we will renovate the red brick house."
When the villagers at the cement yard heard this, they all raised their hands and shouted excitedly.
"Okay! Okay! Owner, let's start then?"
Su Chen smiled, "We will produce according to the last ratio yesterday, but you must remember to wear masks!"
"Don't worry, owner, we all remember it, let's get started!"
The mask is a reward for inventing red bricks, and the materials used are all existing materials in the Tang Dynasty, which can be imitated in the future.
...
Su Chen didn't stay in the cement yard for long before returning to the manor.
At this moment, Su Chen was in the fields, checking the growth of crops. The villagers who were working saw Su Chen and greeted him warmly.
They all respected the young owner from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone thought that Su Chen was different from other landlords. He didn't have that kind of high-handed attitude, but was approachable.
In the fields, all the crops are growing wildly in a pleasing manner. In two months, there will be a bumper harvest.
After several transplanting, more than 1,000 mu of sweet potatoes have been planted, 10 mu of peanuts, more than 20 mu of melon seeds, and 5 mu of peppers.
Finally, 100 mu of potatoes and corn were planted.
There are also 20 mu of tomato seeds that have just been obtained, which are being planted.
Nowadays, the villagers have eaten sweet potato leaves and peppers, and now the sweet potato leaves are used to feed Su Chen's 13 pigs.
Why 13? When the testicles were cut two days ago, one of the five boars died on the spot, and yesterday another one was not very active.
Su Chen, with tears in his eyes, asked someone to quickly add a knife and bleed the boar, and made it into a roast suckling pig.
Because there is no technology to cut the testicles, the mortality rate is 40%.
...
"Zhang Long, has the person who sent the wine to the restaurant come back today?"
Su Chen returned to the main house and thought of Changle and her family again.
"Master, they are back. The young lady and her friends have not been to the restaurant these days."
Su Chen nodded, wondering what happened in their family.
"Zhang Long, send someone to the restaurant to find Zhang Shun and ask him to go back to Li's house to find out what happened."
After Zhang Long left, Su Chen thought about it and asked Zhao Hu to find the servants who went out to purchase these days.
"Master, Liu Laosan went to Chang'an to purchase these days."
Su Chen nodded, "Liu Laosan, is there any news or major events in Chang'an these days?"
Liu Laosan was confused at first, but then he remembered that it was about salt.
"Master, a dozen days ago, the rich people in Chang'an spent a lot of money to buy a lot of salt. Seven days ago, the government posted a notice that snowflake salt is only sold for 5 wen per pound."
"The government said that it is not allowed to privately mine and sell salt in the future. This snowflake salt is the salt used in our farm. I don't know if this is a big deal."
Su Chen nodded after listening, "Okay, I know, you go and get busy!"
Then a smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "It seems that I have made a lot of money helping Li Er this time. This family is ruthless and bought salt for nine days."
"I wonder if I can help my brother-in-law get an official position!"
Su Chen said to himself.
...
Seven days later.
Empress Changsun, Lizheng Palace.
"Get out, all of you, get out!"
"Waste, all of you are waste, what's the point of keeping you as waste?"
"If anything happens to Guanyin, I want you all to be buried with me!"
Under Li Shimin's repeated pressure, the imperial physician told Li Shimin that the queen had at most seven days to live.
In Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin's heart-wrenching roar was accompanied by the sound of teacups breaking on the ground.
Zhangsun Wuji and others who were waiting outside the harem could hear Li Shimin's angry curses.
The group was about to leave the palace to meet Su Chen at the manor, but just as they were about to leave, the maid in Lizheng Palace came to report that the condition of the queen suddenly worsened.
"Alas! I don't know how the queen is doing!"
"Assistant machine, you have been in the past two days.Didn't you go to the harem to visit the Empress the other day?" Fang Xuanling asked Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji shook his head and didn't want to talk at all. He knew more than the others, and said sadly in his heart: This time, my sister is afraid... ... In the hall, five imperial doctors were kneeling and trembling, with their heads hanging directly to the ground. The eunuchs and palace maids retreated one after another and left the Lizheng Hall with a depressing atmosphere, but their expressions did not relax at all. Li Shimin stood there, clenching his fists and clenching his teeth. After a while, he relaxed again, forcing himself to show his usual appearance, but the anger in his body was always looming. He walked to the inner hall and came to the bedside of Empress Changsun. At this moment, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Changle, and two children were kneeling beside Empress Changsun's bed. "Mingda, Chinu, don't cry! "
Li Shimin spoke in a very soft voice, but this voice gave people an irresistible pressure.
The two children stopped crying instantly.
Li Chengqian, Changle and others also reached out to wipe away their tears.
The disease came like a mountain. Two days ago, Empress Changsun could barely walk, but she coughed badly.
Today, she seemed to have no strength to speak.
"Erlang... don't blame others because of me..."
"What is destined... don't blame others."
Empress Changsun, as if she was speaking with all her strength, slowly stretched out her bloodless hand.
"Guanyin maid!" Li Shimin's voice was a little hoarse.
Li Shimin hurried forward and held her pale and weak hand.
Tears could not stop falling.
He could not remember when and why he cried last time.
"Erlang, I have no regrets to accompany your majesty for so many years. ”
“Cheng Qian, from now on… you must be kind to your brothers and sisters, and assist your father…”
The five children of Empress Changsun could no longer hold back their tears when they heard their mother’s last words.
Then, Empress Changsun slowly turned her head and looked at Changle.
She wanted to break free from Li Shimin’s hand and grab Changle’s hand, but she couldn’t do it.
“Changle, from now on… don’t be willful, be a… good wife and mother.”
“Mother can’t see… you and Su Chen get married, mother is very…”
Empress Changsun seemed to have run out of strength and no longer had the strength to speak.
Everyone burst into tears.
“Father, I ask you to grant amnesty to the world, and order all the ministers and people to pray for mother, hoping to move the heavens and keep mother healthy! "
Li Tai appealed to Li Shimin with a crying voice. He also sincerely hoped that his mother could live a long and healthy life.
Empress Changsun, who was lying on the bed, seemed unwilling to let Li Shimin do this.
But she had no strength to speak, and just shook her head gently.
Li Shimin closed his eyes in great sorrow, thinking about his wife who was about to face life and death. Even if he was an emperor in the world, he could not change the fate of the person he loved most in his life.
Helpless sigh: Everything is fate, and it is not up to man at all.
Li Chengqian was as sad as Li Shimin. Whenever he was unhappy, Empress Changsun would patiently enlighten him.
Those princes' teachers and tutors complained to Li Shimin for some trivial matters. After being scolded by Li Shimin, it was his mother who comforted him.
Empress Changsun was the only bright light in Li Chengqian's heart during the dark moments.
Now this bright light has run out of oil.
How can people not be sad...
Suddenly, Li Chengqian raised his head abruptly!
