The Great Tang: World Martial God

The news that Tang Hao paid for the yellow mud spread throughout the small town of Yangzhou.

The place in Huangni Village instantly changed from a land of poor mountains and rivers to sweet steamed buns.

After the two carpenters finished the demonstration, the villagers put their hoes and shovel together to dig the mountain and sift the yellow mud.

Some half-year-old children also followed behind the adults, carrying buckets and yellow mud.

In the busy village, everyone smiled.

"This official from the capital is really the great wealth of our Huangni Village! Huangni Mountain, which has been deserted for so many years, has now become a treasure land!"

"Isn't it! Ten yuan a pen, thirty yuan is worth three buckets of rice! Even a day's effort can make a hundred yuan, which is quite a lot!"

"Hey! After digging the yellow mud for a month, changing some green vegetables, and steaming some vegetable buns for Chou'er, we will be able to live a few rich people's lives."

For these poor villagers, this unexpected wealth has given them a little joy.

Under the scorching sun, I said some words of gratitude, but my hands did not stop at all, and they were fighting secretly.

People in Huangni Village are like this, but outside the village, their speeches have completely changed.

The news spread in the neighborhoods, and many people were puzzled, and most of them were jokes.

The Zheng family, the leading family of Jiangnan shipbuilding, is an example.

The owner of the family, Zheng Yuan, sat at the desk, playing with the wooden ship model in his hand, staring closely in front of his eyes.

After listening to the steward's report, Zheng Yuan hummed softly, put down the wooden boat model, and raised his head.

"Interesting! A dignified master Hou actually played with mud and built a kiln."

"The digging clay is to burn the porcelain. What is he going to do when he digs yellow clay?"

The steward beside him smiled, stepped forward, a sneer leaking out of his face.

"I heard from the artisans in the courtyard that Master Tang is going to make some masonry."

"I heard that I was going to build a house. This Lord Tang also paid a high price for the yellow mud from the barren hills."

There was a flash of surprise on Zheng Yuan's face, and then a smile appeared.

"Maybe from the whole Yangzhou, only Master Tang has this kind of'kindness'."

"Let's take a look and see what trick Tang Master wants to play!"

In fact, many such dialogues spread throughout Yangzhou.

When many people secretly mocked Tang Hao's stupidity in buying yellow mud, most of them wanted to see what new things this high official from the capital had to create.

...

The imperial city, Chang'an.

Sitting on the bamboo chair under the pavilion, Wang Wang looked at the birdcage hanging on the railing of the pavilion, and listened to the sound of clear sounds, which was very pleasant.

Since the locust plague in the land of Qingzhou was lifted, the entire Datang territory has been stable.

The promotion of Quyuan Plows has greatly expanded Datang's fertile fields. You only need to wait for this year's autumn harvest to check the grain harvest situation again.

Thinking of this year's abundance of warehouses, I heard that Tang Hao, who had contributed to the transformation of the plough, came to mind.

"Is there any news about that **** recently?"

Tang Wang's voice seemed casual and lazy, perhaps because of this hot summer day.

The father-in-law behind him did not dare to neglect at all, and bowed.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Yang Ming from Yangzhou Zeng Feige passed a letter."

"It is said that Beihou is mining coal. It seems that there will be some new inventions."

King Tang, who was half-lying in the seat, smiled, and a touch of relief flashed in his eyes.

"It's good to make things!"

"This kid is capable, but which thing is not shocking the world?"

"Just this time, I don't know what this kid is going to do."

Rong Gonggong added.

"Strangely speaking, according to the provincial governor Yang Ming, what Dingbeihou was going to build was a house."

"But there doesn't seem to be much connection between the mining of coal and the construction of houses."

King Tang also heard it strangely, and slowly sat up, looking suspiciously at Grandpa Rong.

"House?"

Touching his chin and beard, Tang Wang thought for a moment.

"This kid is serious!"

"I only wanted to let this **** build a giant ship and warship, but I never thought about the placement of these craftsmen."

"He wants to make it, just make it!"

The father-in-law next to him hurriedly put on a mat for the king of Tang and bowed himself; he stood beside the king of Tang.

"In Yangzhou, a place where famous shipbuilding craftsmen are born in large numbers, if he wants to win over these famous craftsmen's hearts with only an official body, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Presumably this house must be extremely magnificent and unique. Even I have a faint expectation at this moment."

Tang Wang’s words did not conceal his inner joy and curiosity,

The grandfather standing on the side also missed the opportunity to say a few flattering words to please Long Yan.

When the monarch and his subjects were talking and laughing, the guard outside the door rushed in and bowed his hands.

"Your Majesty, I'd like to see you from the Department of Household Affairs outside the door."

Hearing this, the king of Tang was slightly surprised that this household minister had always fulfilled his duties and rarely entered admonitions.

Even if some admonitions were mentioned in the early days, is it possible that there is an important matter if you come in a hurry at this time?

Frowning slightly, Tang Wang's plain tone sounded in the corridor.

"Did he mention anything to advise?"

The guard still bowed, bowing his hands respectfully.

"His Majesty Qi, the Hubu Shangshu mentioned that it was related to Tang Hao at this time."

The Hubu Shangshu was an important position in charge of money and grain, and at this time it was related to Tang Hao, and Tang Wang had already guessed 80% of his intentions.

He waved his hand slightly, motioning to the father-in-law behind him.

"Proclaim."
