With an office headed by Lu Qingyun, Lin Yuanchao and others managing Qingzhou, Chen Ze was quite relieved to return to Hanzhou.
Early the next morning, we set off on our way back to Hanzhou.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to take a look at the cement workshop and ironmaking workshop.
The turbine waterwheel is really noisy, and the sound of water rushing can be heard from a long distance away.
The sound of gears grinding could be heard before, but now it is basically inaudible.
At present, lubricants are temporarily replaced by grease, and we are looking for other alternatives.
It was obviously just a small river, but there was movement like a waterfall.
If outsiders saw it, they would probably be surprised.
Turbine waterwheels consume not only iron but also cement.
The main reason is that the terrain near Qingzhou is relatively flat and the flow speed of small rivers is relatively slow.
In previous experiments, the turbine waterwheel belt could be driven, but the efficiency was not high. Firstly, the water flow was not large enough, so the water tank needed to be redesigned. Secondly, the potential energy was not enough, so the height difference needed to be increased.
But it is impossible to build a dam directly. We cannot build a dam anywhere in this terrain, otherwise all the low-lying areas will be flooded.
So, we can only dig deeper.
A ditch was forcedly dug out, and a ditch was dug for three miles before it was led to the low-lying area.
Then the victims who were digging ditches saw that the ditches were all dug out, and the surrounding area was full of bumpy wasteland. It was a pity to leave it alone. After thinking about it, they decided to just open up wasteland and grow some food and vegetables based on the ditches provided by the cement workshop.
There are so many people in the cement workshop. They have a public toilet and a supply of fertilizer. When they are not working, they go to reclaim wasteland. The cement workshop also has ready-made tools for digging gullies. Xu Hai feels that this is feasible. After the large-scale hydraulic crusher is put on the ground, it can A lot of manpower was spared, and it was idle to open up wasteland and cultivate land. Food must be the basic guarantee, so I applied with Chen Ze.
Chen Ze readily agreed, so the low-lying and uneven wasteland near the cement workshop where he left has begun preparations for land reclamation. A large number of weeds and trees have begun to be cleared. None of the trees that can be used as building materials are wasted. Every good tree is seen. It is sent directly to the newly built cement warehouse of the cement workshop for storage. The bad ones can only be used as firewood, piled nearby, and then split after drying.
All of them are masters of resource management.
It is estimated that when I return from Hanzhou, a large amount of wasteland will be reclaimed near the cement workshop, and it will be a different scene.
I lowered the car curtain and officially embarked on my journey back to Hanzhou.
It's just that this trip back to Hanzhou is not a happy thing for Chen Ze, and there is no atmosphere like going home for the holidays.
To be honest, Chen Ze still doesn't regard Chen Wuping as his family.
Chen Qingling is quite close.
Because Chen Ze inherited the memory of the original owner, he loved this sister very much, which naturally made Chen Ze feel close to her.
But for Zhennan King Chen Wuping, the original owner was more afraid and frightened.
Being beaten since childhood is one factor, and another factor is that Chen Wuping always forces the original owner to learn things he is not willing to learn, which leads to the original owner's extremely serious rebellious psychology but he does not dare to break out.
After a long time, it is strange that there are no psychological problems.
These memories also have a greater impact on Chen Ze. Many times in his dreams, he will see Chen Wuping holding a whip in the room and trying to beat him. However, it may be an inherited memory, so at such times, Chen Ze always uses a unique Dual perspective, watching himself being beaten like this from the side.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult for Chen Ze to feel too close to Chen Wuping.
Anyway, I am going back to Hanzhou this time and will return directly after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A few days later, Zhennan Palace.
Chen Ze looked a little tired. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw the gate of the palace. Many servants were already waiting at the door. When they saw Chen Ze, they hurriedly shouted in unison: "Welcome the Crown Prince back to the palace!"
After receiving the bad luck removal ceremony at the door, someone will use some kind of branch dipped in water and slap it twice on your body to remove all the bad luck from your body before you can enter the house.
There are many rules in the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, a young man of similar age came up to him and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are finally back."
The visitor is Chunping, the prince's scholar and the original owner's playmate since childhood.
Chen Ze responded with a smile and asked about the current situation after entering the palace.
Chunping said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, everything is fine."
"Where's my dad?"
"The prince went out early in the morning and was not at home."
As for what he was doing, the servants were generally unlikely to know.
It's good that I'm not at home now, otherwise I would be a little uncomfortable facing Chen Wuping's black face when I come back.
Naturally, when I return to the palace, I have to pay my respects to the elders in the family.
Mainly to greet Mrs. Sun.
The side wife represents the next wife after the death of the main wife, and is equivalent to the second mistress in the palace.
Relationship-wise, lukewarm.
And this Sun is no ordinary woman.
The eldest daughter of the Sun family in Jizhou, a well-established family, produced three generals in the Sui Dynasty. Now her younger brother Sun Qingding is the chief of the capital of northern Hebei, holding a high and powerful position.
Looking at Dachu, he is also one of the top dignitaries.
Chen Ze didn't know much about this stepmother, she wasn't close to her, and she didn't live with her on weekdays.
The female relatives of the royal family usually live in Nanyuan, and Chen Ze lives in Dongyuan, so naturally they don't have much interaction with each other.
I went to Nanyuan to pay my respects and then returned to Dongyuan.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the gate of Dongyuan, a little girl with pigtails blocked the door, her nose raised high.
"No entry! You are not my brother, this is my brother's residence!"
Chunping saw the little princess starting to make trouble again, and secretly smiled bitterly.
Chen Ze saw that Chen Qingling, the aunt, also had a slight headache. He went up and pushed Chen Qingling aside: "Yes, yes, yes, I am not your brother! I am very tired now, so don't get in the way!"
"Bold!" Chen Qingling said anxiously: "I am the princess, and you dare to push me. Come on! Drag me out and spank you!"
The servants on the side looked at each other, no one dared to move.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear!?"
Chen Ze didn't bother to talk to Chen Qingling. He was very tired after riding in the carriage for several days. He just wanted to rest and went straight to the house.
However, Chen Qingling, the aunt-in-law, ran up to stop her again.
"No entry allowed!"
"This time I went to Qingzhou, I brought you a lot of interesting toys." Chen Zedao: "You have never seen them before!"
Chen Qingling immediately snorted: "You want to bribe me!? It's a dream!"
"If you don't give my brother back, I won't be polite!"
A long while.
"Hey hey hey!"
Chen Qingling looked at the little wooden frog jumping up and down on the table, and it would jump when pulled by a rope. She suddenly said with joy: "This toy is really interesting!"
"You don't want your brother anymore?"
"For the sake of buying me toys, I won't buy them today. I'll cause trouble for you tomorrow!"
"Ah, whatever."
Chen Qingling rummaged through the wooden box on the side. There were all kinds of weird toys inside, which were quite interesting. She found that the word "Jinke" was carved with a knife on the bottom, and she wondered: "Why is there the word "Jinke" under this wooden box?"
"emmm..."
