On the next day, Rong Geer went to the clean room to greet Grandpa Jia Jing early in the morning, and then took Keqing to greet You Shi'an and had an early afternoon in You's courtyard.
The carriage of Prince Zhongshun arrived outside Ningguo Mansion.
Brother Rong was originally in a happy mood, but after seeing this car, he lost his interest. What is the purpose of living this life? He really didn't know what he was thinking about when he first came here. Even if he couldn't save the country and the people, at least he would save the Jia family first.
But after this year, he felt that many things were false. He was lucky enough to save himself from Jia Zhen. Save the Jia family again? Really a little tired.
But there is nothing we can do. Even if we want to live a peaceful life as Jia Rong, we must first ensure that the Jia family's ship does not sink.
It is simply impossible to separate the Jia family from each other's destiny. And he doesn't want to leave now and can't let go. Many people can't let go.
It was drizzling in Shenjing today, and he felt melancholy.
The carriage drove quickly and soon arrived at the manor of Prince Zhongshun.
"Brother Rong is here." When Jia Qiang saw Uncle Rong get out of the car, she quickly left everyone around her and ran over, saying with a smile: "A few officials from the Ministry of Industry are here, and they are looking for Zong Cheng to become their apprentice."
Jia Rong knew that this was the case. How could a real official ask about these things? Only the junior officials who were promoted from craftsmen like Suozheng of each office were given instructions. It is not known whether these junior officials were happy or not.
But Brother Rong saw a familiar face in the crowd. Qin Ye, who was over sixty years old, also came. Jia Rong hurriedly went up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qin Ye sighed: "Your Majesty got the news about your relationship and asked me to lead the team here."
"Thank you, sir. But it's just right that I'm here, and I can give you some guidance on this dam repair." Although Qin Ye's official position is not high, it is still a level higher than the others who came here. He is his father-in-law, so there shouldn't be any problems when doing things.
Jia Rong explained to the chief official of Zhongshun Palace and asked Zong Cheng and others to start the operation.
Mr. Qin also called the various offices of the Ministry of Industry to study. It's said to be learning, but it just requires these people to remember the steps and the proportion of cement and sand and gravel.
However, Uncle Rong was not polite. He found an empty space in Prince Zhongshun's manor and took Mr. Qin to drink tea with him.
"Master, what do you think of this cement?"
Qin Ye knew what he meant and mentioned it to Jia Rong when he first got the prescription. Mr. Qin nodded and said: "It's amazing! According to what you said, if iron slag and iron bones can be added to it, it will be stronger. It can not only build small dams like this, but also build larger fortifications. If it can be produced cheaply, It will definitely set off a trend.”
Jia Rong has been feeling worried recently, although it is true to say so. However, bluestone is scarce around Shenjing, and cement firing consumes a lot of bluestone. Now that several more kilns have been opened, the price of bluestone on the market has increased by a penny.
The southern provinces naturally have the most bluestones. Most of the bluestones in Shenjing are now transported from Guangnan by water. If the cement kiln wants to be bigger, more bluestone will be needed in the future, and the cost will be higher. Although the sales price can also be increased, it is not the solution after all.
Brother Rong wants to ask Jia Qiang and Jia Yun to go south and build another cement kiln there. Firstly, to reduce costs, and secondly, to make money from wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. But once the two of them left, there would be no one to look after the cement kiln in Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Rong chatted with Qin Ye about production matters, and not long after, King Zhongshun came limping in person.
"Is this how you supervise?"
Jia Rong said: "My lord, don't be anxious..."
