Chapter 46: The Queen's First Meeting
"As for the various materials needed, cement is ours, glass is ours, and steel bars are ours, and basically there is no need to spend any silver!
What remains are materials such as small stones and bricks, which require some money. However, these will not exceed ten taels of silver at most."
"So, the money spent on this small workshop we built will definitely not exceed twenty-five taels of silver!"
After Zhu Zi'an finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a simple face.
“…”
However, unexpectedly, what he saw was Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others, with big mouths and a shocked look on their faces.
It only costs less than twenty-five taels of silver to build such a luxurious workshop!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and others always felt that something was wrong with Zhu Zi'an's algorithm?
However, after thinking carefully for a while, I couldn't figure out why, so the few people left the slightest bit of something wrong behind.
At first I just thought that it only cost twenty-five taels of silver to build such a small workshop! So, if my own palace (the Duke's Mansion) was built like this, wouldn't it cost too much silver to build it?
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others were slightly distracted.
I came over for a while before I came to my senses.
With a hot look, he looked straight at Zhu Zi'an.
"Hehe, Master, a few sirs, what's wrong? What's wrong..."
Zhu Zian began to feel a little nervous when he saw it.
"Haha, nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong!"
Thinking of the beautiful things in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang and others burst into laughter at the same time.
"We are Liu Ji and Liu Bowen. Please ask Xiao Zhenren to walk around more in the future!"
"We are Li Shanchang. I'll ask Xiao Zhenren to help you with some things in the future..."
"We are Li Xincai..."
“…”
After a long time, Zhu Zi'an realized that he had become a fragrant bun.
"Li Shanchang? Liu Bowen?"
Then, Zhu Zi'an slapped his head suddenly and quickly looked at the backs that gradually disappeared from his sight, with regret on his face!
"Uncle Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xuan Pingzi, who was standing beside him, suddenly saw his uncle hitting him. He was shocked and thought that his uncle was crazy again.
"It's nothing, we're careless!"
Zhu Zi'an sighed, but he didn't expect that he and the two top wits of the Ming Dynasty had the first meeting in this situation.
Afterwards, Zhu Zi'an took Zhu Biao and carefully visited the entire workshop. Zhu Biao also left with a shocked look on his face.
As for the prince guest Fumihara Yoshi, who had always wanted to pick on, had long been gray-white, and he shook his head all the way, following several people without even seeing it!
When the factory is completed, a series of follow-up events such as furniture and recruiting workers.
In this era, these things are simpler.
With the support of the emperor, the prince ran errands, and the support of the powerful and wealthy people in Huaixi.
In addition to some tightly needed machines that need to be transported from Wudang, boilers can be taken directly from the Ministry of Industry!
As for craftsmen and other laborers in short supply in later generations, Zhu Zi'an had no worries at all.
On Wudang Mountain, since Li Xuanzong returned to the mountain and told his master Zhang Zhenren in detail about everything about Zhu Zi'an after he went down the mountain.
Only then did all the Wudang real people realize that their junior brother is about to grow up.
While helpless, they also unanimously supported their junior brother's decision.
At the same time, a group of Wudang Zhenren explained to their disciples that as long as Zhu Zi'an has any needs, all the disciples must cooperate with them with all their strength.
At the same time, Zhu Zi'an in Yingtian City had not yet sorted out everything in the factory, and Zhu Biao came to the door with excitement again!
"Second brother~"
"Your Highness, your face is so excited, but what are you happy about?"
Zhu Zian asked slowly as he looked at Zhu Biao, whose whole body was filled with joy.
"Second brother, it's really a great joy. The vegetables in the glass greenhouse in the south of the city have sprouted!"
Zhu Biao said excitedly with his face, "This morning, when the farmers in the village went to sprinkle water, they found that a few vegetables had broken through the ground and exposed their buds."
"So slow?"
After saying this, Zhu Zi'an remembered that there were two glass greenhouses of his own outside the south of the city.
"Second brother, let's go and see it! My father is almost here!"
Zhu Biao looked anxious.
He has only heard of this. In Fujian, he can grow vegetables in winter. However, he has never seen vegetables in winter. Because in Yingtiancheng, there has never been anyone who can grow vegetables in winter.
Unexpectedly, Zi'an's cousin was stimulated by his teacher and actually planted vegetables in winter. Although it only sprouts appeared, it was enough to make Zhu Biao very excited.
I wish I could immediately rush into the glass greenhouse outside the city.
"Then go and have a look!"
In short, it was the first batch of vegetables he planted in Yingtian City. Zhu Zian also felt that he should take a look.
As he said that, he set off with Zhu Biao and headed for the south of the city.
...
"I've seen the emperor! I've seen several adults..."
"I have met my father and my mother..."
When Zhu Zi'an and Zhu Biao arrived at the glass greenhouse in the south of the city.
These two small greenhouses are surrounded by crowds.
Of course, most of the farmers on the farm next to them were lying outside the glass of the greenhouse, looking at the tender buds in the soil with a strange face.
In the greenhouse, there were a group of luxuriously dressed people squatting on the ground, staring at the green buds in the soil as if they were looking at some rare treasures.
"Is this Zi'an?"
Suddenly, a graceful and beautiful woman emerged from the crowd and looked at Zhu Zi'an with a loving look on her face.
"Mother, this is the second brother!"
Zhu Biao quickly introduced, "Second brother, this is my mother!"
Empress?
Zhu Zian suddenly gave a meal. This was his cheap aunt, Queen Ma Xiuying. Unexpectedly, the first time he met was in the vegetable field.
The only pity is that such a beautiful aunt is a bit incompatible with the cheap fourth uncle~
Zhu Zi'an had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he looked at Ma with curiosity on his face, and then quickly saluted and asked, "Zi'an has seen the Empress!"
"Haha, good boy, look like a handsome talent!"
Ma's face was full of smiles, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt Zhu Zi'an liked him.
"Zi'an thanks Empress for her praise!"
Zhu Zi'an quickly returned the gift.
"Zi'an, what kind of vegetable is this? Why did I stare at it for a long time and didn't recognize it?"
When Zhu Zi'an finished his salute, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing beside him, could no longer hold back and pulled Zhu Zi'an over, pointing to a bud that had just emerged from the soil and had not yet bloomed, and asked.
Zhu Biao, Ma and others on the side also stopped and looked at Zhu Zi'an in unison.
“…”
Zhu Zi'an was speechless. This vegetable, even the leaves had not yet unfolded, would it be strange if you could recognize it!
However, Zhu Zian still carefully recalled the area he had divided at the time, and then replied, "Master, this is the tender bud of pepper!"
"So this is the tender sprouts of peppers..."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others looked at the tender pepper sprouts underground with curiosity.
The obsessive expression in his eyes made Zhu Zian feel chilled!
...
Chapter completed!
