Martial Sage

Tang Mansion.

The morning light suddenly appeared, and the whole government was completely busy.

Tang Hao led a group of recruited kiln workers and started trial kilns.

Originally, the coal that was dug out needed to be filtered for Impurities, commonly known as coal washing.

To put it bluntly, it is to purify this raw ore once to increase the burning rate.

But today it is only the first time to burn a kiln, and pour a few barrels of pulverized coal slag into the mud kiln with the attitude of trying it out.

A kiln worker hunched his back, and he just clicked it for a long time, making Tang Hao who was standing beside him look anxious.

It seems that this screening process has to be implemented.

While instructing a few kiln workers to go out and buy some iron nets back, on the other hand, they instructed some kiln workers to build a pool for later use.

Looking at the black smoke billowing mud kiln, Tang Hao was shocked.

If this is set aside for later generations, 80% of it will be captured by the Environmental Protection Agency for ten or eight years.

While he was thinking, Tang Hao's eyes fell on the shelf above the flame, only to discover the problem!

The built mud kiln is empty, and the mud bricks have not yet begun to be made!

Tang Hao asked, taking a look at the few masons who were watching the excitement around him.

"Do you know where there is yellow mud?"

The masons are all locals, and when they were asked, they all responded.

"There is a Huangni Village two miles away from here, and the hill behind the village is all Huangni!"

"Yeah! Where the loess is so sticky, when it rains, it turns out to be yellow muddy water. You can pull off your shoes with one foot."

Tang Hao knew that the yellow clay was highly viscous, so he couldn't go wrong, and he waved his hand and greeted the five carpenters.

"Chisel four flat wooden boards with arms, and I will teach you how to make yellow mud."

Four wooden boards are surrounded in turn, two long and two short to form a rectangular shape, standing on the ground.

Tang Hao pointed to the rectangular shape and said.

"It's summer. The yellow mud is ground into powder, water is added to make thin mud, and the square is covered with it. Remove the wooden boards to make mud bricks."

I ordered two carpenters casually, said.

"It's up to you to take care of it. You can find some villagers to do the mud bricks for ten dollars! Three days later, I will collect it."

When the two heard it, they were a little dumbfounded.

Is this young man crazy?

Buying mud in your pocket?

Want to call villagers to dig together?

After confirming that they were correct, the faces of the two were happy and they ran away.

The rest of the people who were idle also looked out, and the high-ranking officials from this imperial city were not the ones who lacked money at first glance.

There was no need for Tang Hao to arrange, each looking for work, just to get a stable salary.

Tear off his jacket and burn the new kiln shirtlessly. Wearing a sweat towel, sifting coal with a shovel. Digging pools, lifting water...

Those who are idle for a while seem to have a job.

Looking at the busy people, Tang Hao happily wandered around with his hands behind his back, and only then left after a few words from the conductor.

Back in the mansion, Tang Hao ordered the servants to boil more hot water and send it to the people who were working.

After all, it is hot in summer, doing too much physical work, it is easy to sweat and dehydration, and if you don't replenish water in time, it will cause big problems.

While standing in the front hall of the mansion with joy, Princess Chang Le took the ledger, and Li Wanqing came over with a dark face.

"You're still smiling, look at the people you hired to work!"

Li Wan innocently gave Tang Hao a glance, and said angrily.

"Do you really think of yourself as Tang Bancheng? We are here in Yangzhou, but not in the imperial city."

"Where can I pay for the money I need for wages?"

"You even have to buy the dirt! You are so generous!"

Princess Changle turned over a few pages of the ledger, pointed to each item, and started reading.

"At the mine, there are five carpenters, five stonemasons, and fifty miners."

"Five kilns, twenty-five kiln workers, ten clay potters, and now there is an extra batch of money to pay the villagers who dig yellow mud."

After closing the ledger, Princess Changle sighed, a look of worry appeared on her face.

"Husband, I originally thought it was a small workshop of a dozen people, and there is nothing to worry about."

"You are so extravagant, hundreds of people, the cost of this can be more than the cost of a mansion!"

"We, how many months can we not afford!"

The smile on Tang Hao's face gradually solidified as the two reported.

Now that this is rolled out, every time it is opened, it is a huge consumption.

However, building a house requires huge financial support, and it is completely owned by own private thoughts. Even if it is built, there will be no profit at all.

Doesn't it mean that the dream of owning a house just collapsed like this?

But everything I do is to recruit talents and attract those skilled craftsmen to come!

Touching his chin, Tang Haozhou raised his brows and looked at Princess Changle. After a while, he had an idea in his heart, said.

"Yeah! We came to Yangzhou this way, not only for my dream of a big house, but also for our Datang to have a sturdy big ship that can withstand strong winds and waves, travel thousands of miles, and communicate with other countries. ."

"It's even more to be able to resist Liuya Flying Spear and dominate the nations!"

"This is such a major event that hits our country. So far, Your Majesty has not allocated a penny. This is not feasible!"

Li Wanqing put her hands around her chest and gave Tang Hao a blank look.

"How beautiful are you! You spread it out, it's a bottomless pit, how much money do you need?"

Princess Changle also narrowed her mouth, agreeing.

"The treasury is already inadequate after years of fighting, I'm afraid it will be difficult to allocate money this time!"

"Even if it is allocated, there shouldn't be much."
