The news that Tang Hao paid for yellow mud was posted in the whole Yangzhou town.
Huangni village suddenly changed from a poor place to a fragrant steamed bun.
After the two carpenters finished the demonstration, the villagers went up with hoes and shovels to dig the mud mountain and screen the yellow mud.
Some half aged children also followed the adults, carrying buckets and yellow mud.
In the busy village, everyone is smiling.
"The officials from the capital are really the God of wealth in Huangni village! Huangni mountain, which has been abandoned for so many years, has become a treasure land!"
"Isn''t it! Ten yuan a Wen and thirty yuan are worth three Dou of rice! You can paste a hundred yuan a day, which is a lot!"
"Hey, hey! When we dig yellow mud for a month, change some green vegetables and steam some vegetable buns for chou''er, we can live a rich family''s life."
For these poor villagers, the unexpected wealth gave them some joy.
Under the scorching sun, he said some words of gratitude, but he didn''t stop at all. He was struggling secretly.
People in Huangni village are like this, but outside the village, their speech has completely changed.
The neighbors spread the news. While many people were confused, they mostly read jokes.
The Zheng family, the leading family in Jiangnan Shipbuilding, is an example.
Zheng Yuan, the owner of the house, sat at the desk, playing with the wooden boat model in his hand, and stared carefully in front of his eyes.
After listening to the steward''s report, Zheng Yuan snorted, put down the wooden boat model and raised his head.
"Interesting! A noble Lord played with the mud and built a kiln."
"Digging clay is to burn porcelain. What is he doing digging yellow mud?"
The steward beside him smiled and stepped forward, with a touch of ridicule on his face.
"I''ve heard that the craftsmen in the courtyard say what bricks and stones Lord Tang is going to build."
"I heard that we were going to build a house. Lord Tang paid a high price for the yellow mud of barren mountains."
Zheng Yuan''s surprise flashed across his face and turned to a smile.
"Maybe only Lord Tang has this'' kindness'' in Yangzhou."
"Let''s see what kind of tricks Lord Tang wants to play!"
In fact, such dialogue has spread a lot throughout Yangzhou.
When many people secretly laughed at Tang Hao''s stupidity of buying yellow mud, they wanted to see what new things the senior officials from the capital wanted to make.
……
Imperial City, Chang''an.
The king of Tang Dynasty sat on the bamboo chair under the pavilion, looked at the bird cage hanging on the railing of the pavilion, and listened to bursts of clear singing, which was very comfortable.
Since the locust plague in Qingzhou was lifted, the whole territory of Datang was stable.
The promotion of quyuanli has expanded the fertile fields of Datang. Just wait for the autumn harvest this year to check the grain harvest again.
Thinking of this year''s abundant warehouse, I heard that I thought of Tang haolai, who has made great contributions to the transformation of plows.
"Have you heard from that bastard recently?"
The voice of the king of Tang appears casual and lazy, perhaps because of this hot summer.
Father-in-law Rong did not dare to neglect him at all and bowed down.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Yang Ming of Yangzhou sent a letter by flying pigeon."
"It is said that Beihou is mining Carboniferous. It seems that there will be some new inventions."
The king of the Tang Dynasty, who was half lying on the seat, smiled, and a touch of relief flashed in his eyes.
"It''s good to make things!"
"The boy is capable. Which thing is not shocking?"
"Just this time, I don''t know what the boy will do again."
Rong Gonggong added.
"Strange to say, according to the assassin Yang Ming, what the Duke of Dingbei wants to build is a house."
"But there seems to be little connection between quarrying and building houses."
The king of Tang also heard the novelty, slowly sat up and looked at father-in-law Rong suspiciously.
"House?"
Touching his chin and beard, the king of Tang thought for a moment.
"The boy has a heart!"
"I only wanted this bastard to build a huge ship and warship, but I didn''t think of the placement of these craftsmen."
"If he wants to make it, make it!"
Father-in-law Rong hurriedly changed a mat for the king of Tang and bowed down; Standing on the side of King Tang.
"In Yangzhou, where there are many famous shipbuilders, if he wants to win the hearts of these famous shipbuilders with only one official, he''s afraid he can''t."
"This house must be magnificent and different. Even I have some expectations at the moment."
In King Tang''s words, silk did not hide her inner joy and curiosity,
Father-in-law Rong, who stood on one side, also lost no time in saying a few flattering words to please Long Yan.
While the king and his officials were talking and laughing, the guard outside the door rushed in and bowed his hands.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of household outside the door asks for an audience."
Hearing this, the king of Tang was slightly surprised. The Minister of household has always been conscientious and rarely offered advice.
Even if some advice was mentioned in the early Dynasty, is it difficult to come here in a hurry?
With a slight frown, the plain tone of the king of the Tang Dynasty sounded on the corridor.
"Did he mention anything to advise?"
The guard still bowed and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of household mentioned that it was related to Tang Hao at this time."
The Minister of household is an important position in charge of money and grain. At this time, it is related to Tang Hao. The king of Tang has guessed 80% of his intention.
He waved slightly to father-in-law Rong behind him.
"Xuan."
